Father's Day 2017
June 18, 2017 at 11:00 AM
Fathers Day came on June 18th this year. Trevor M gave an excellent message on 'Fathers and their responsibilities' during the Family Bible Hour. We followed with around fifty enjoying a bring and share luncheon. Then Dave and Diane Donaldson (Missionaries to Kenya) shared their vision and mission for the people of that land. It was good to hear of the challenges and triumphs of their work of faith. May the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning, bless each, with every good and perfect gift. (James 1:17)

I was surprised how realistic it is - kids have to take orders, make pizza, and take payments. I felt overwhelmed watching, but my 7 year old had no problem keeping up. From what I've seen, all the Osmo games are really well-done, and the object recognition works surprisingly well (as long as you have good lighting).

This robust and solid model with a soft curved shape
("Ostseeform") belongs to the most popular beach chair classics. It offers nearly unlimited
variations and many basic furnishing features of high quality. So it has become the most
successful model of the Sonnenpartner@-collection.
Following an old tradition, our joiners manufacture the frame of
the Classic using well seasoned nordic timber. All the connections of wooden pieces are
joined with grooves and springs. The pieces are glued together. Afterwards the complete
waterproof construction will be immersed several times into a ecologically friendly fluid
for wood preservation.
The mesh of our model Classic (weaved all around) is fixed by hand
by our experienced basketmakers, the upper basket even weaved in one piece. This procedure
guarantees the highest possible quality and stability.
Basic features of our model Classic are:
You can choose between two variants:
You also may selectone of two main types of mesh, plastic mesh
or natural material.
Some special Classic beach chairs come with a massive teak timber. Several have a
fine rattan mesh, others a plastic mesh with a rattan look. You will notice these
differences in the specific descriptions for each beach chair when browsing the collection
presented on this website.
The "Classic" beach chairs are available as 1-seater, 2-seater,
3-seater and 2-seater extra large. Seat cushions and cushions for back and feet can easily
be replaced.
For many "Classic" beach chairs you will also find additional optional extras in
the descriptions. To make sure, that you don´t order what you didn´t intended to buy, we
have provided two price options, one including the optional extras, the other one excluding
those add-ons.

"weekend tube closures"
i get this email every week, i dont know why? maybe i complained about the underground once?
but why bother saying what isnt working? might as well save their time and just send an email saying "the east london line in the only line working fully this weekend, dont bother to use the rest".
i know, i know, they're fixing it but jeez! its totally pointless trying to get anywhere on the tube at the weekend!
AND the northern line, can i just say, can fuck off and die.
tufnell park station
has been closed every weekend for about the last four months.
which is real helpful
i can imagine
have you ever ACTUALLY seen them doing anything? i saw 5 guys stood round watching 1 guy press a button a few times. all they were doing was perving at a girl.
was it the
sugababes video?
that was me
they do quite a lot
during the day, they stand around, and at night they make loads of noise and wake me up.
nice guys.
Yeah, I'm praying
whatever they're doing to that branch they're not about to do to the Edgware one. :-(
So you can plan
an alternative journey if you have to go somewhere, maybe?
what i mean is, NEARLY ALL OF IT IS FUCKED AT THE WEEKEND!
I'm not sure
if you're aware of the bus services in London, but sometimes they run at weekends?
dont get me started on the buses
sometimes i wished i lived on an island. on my own.
It's not ALL fucked, though
it's actually less bad than it was a month ago.
even the victoria line fucked now`!
The circle/met/ham and city lines are all running
That's a bit of a novelty.
And with the high barnet branch fucked
I can tell you it's a lot easier going into town from Golders Green as you can just wait for the next bank/charing cross train since there aren't any more at Camden.
you get it because you have an Oyster card
maybe? It's useful, I think. Damn Emirates Stadium mutter grumble.
Don't worry
the way Arsenal are playing they'll be in receivership within 2 years, back at Highbury and the Emirates place will be turned into the next NEC...
I think you'll find it's 'bleeding edge'
actually, bamos.
Apparently they're "getting used to the pitch". According to Ashley Cole "they're all cunts".
I don't know what to believe! :(
I wouldn't trust a man called 'Ashley' who likes to shower naked with other men for a living.
Ho ho.
its better than standing next a guy with BO
from southwark to green park
last weekend was gash
with the piccadilly being closed at KC.
And my plans were thrown into turmoil last night when some poor soul decided to chuck themselves under one at Earls Court.
What a shame for you
Do these closures affect my ability to get from victoria to the alldayer easily on saturday?
Will I have to get a bus?
shouldn't do
just get the district line from victoria straight to aldgate east.
of course, tufnell park station is closed again, which means it's going to take me even longer to get to 93 early on saturday morning. sucks!
I'll probably just harass a station worker like I did the last time though. The tube confuses me, no matter how good Theo's directions are.
You'd best have an early night on friday then.
i'm going to the Barfly on friday
oh dear.
Good luck
with that!
Not really
It's only closed from Warren St. to Highbury and Islington. Just get the Victoria Line to Oxford Circus and the Central Line to Liverpool street and walk from there.
or do what i said up ^^^
there which is a way better idea
It's actually not
(a) The district line is always fucked to high heaven
(b) The victoria and central lines are much faster
(c) The walk across from Liverpool st. is as short and much nicer.
Though thinking about it
it is a long slog of a walk between central and victoria line stations at Oxford Circus so you might be right.
I HATE fucking Aldgate East station, though. Ugly, horrible, little hole.
I think
I transferred between tose two at oxford circus the last time.
The walk wasn't that bad!
But it's no
Northern Line Bank Branch to Victoria Line at Euston, know what I mean?
Mike will meet you at the bus station
and take you to the all dayer!
I don't think he'll wana
come to the bus station at the time I arrive, somehow.
well, actually
(a) statistically, the district line resides in the middle as far as reliability goes. the bakerloo is much better, the norther much worse.
(b) no, they're not. in fact in large sections of central london they run slower, it's just that the stations are closer together.
(c) why? because you can walk past the ten bells?
My colleagues who come in on the district line experience loads of delays. Yes, the Northern Line's no better but note how that line wasn't one of the three involved.
The Central Line always seems quicker to me but yeah maybe it's just the stations. I seem to remember the trains go at 70 MPH, don't they? Outside at any rate.
I hate the district line. It always fucks me around and takes ages. And yes, the walk from Liverpool Street is nicer because of the little streets and also the lack of the area around Aldgate East.
I think 5 years of getting out there to go to work scarred me.
for someone who doesn't know
london, it's a far more direct walk from aldgate east.
You've got me there
It is actually.
I live on the District Line
It's flat out appalling.
"Good Service" is = to "Severe Delays" on other lines
I've been to London once!
I don't think me walking anywhere is a good idea.
You can't get there without walking
Put Victoria station or stop in as the 'from' and E1 6QL as the postcode destination.
It'll do maps for the walking at the end.
I meant a long walk
Even if it is a long one, I won't mind, walking is fun and I'll get to see some more stuff.
I do arrive at something like 7.30am on saturday morning so I've got plenty of time to kill.
get a cab
a rape one. its more fun
I know!
My evening was slightly delayed !
at one point BOTH tube stations in the bush
were closed at the weekend. and the central line one was closed every weekend for ages. hello, get the h&c line? you can fuck right off.
I'm getting this feeling a lot right now
How the fuck is it a good idea to remove an entire branch of the Northern Line and then close down Kings Cross too.
And there are other spurious station loses too.
I've still not felt like any of these closures have 'improved' the tube.
i actually
used my Oyster card when I was in London yesterday! Go Team Oyster Card.

High Speed Broadband Internet Service
Commercial Grade
Available Worldwide
Local Area Network and VoIP service
Click here for our quote request form.
Q. Why use commercial grade VSAT service?
A. Consumer-grade VSAT is not reliable enough for a mission critical business or job-site and typically has high contention ratios, low fair-usage thresholds, limited geographic coverage, and access to technical support is at an extra cost.
ISP (Internet Service Provider)
A company that provides internet services.
Shared Service Level
Internet service in which the total bandwidth allocated to a regional area is shared amongst all of the users in the area. The service level is the maximum possible bandwidth available per subscriber for the region.
CIR (Committed Information Rate)
A bandwidth rate that is guaranteed by the ISP. In other words, the minimum service speed you will have regardless of any other activity over the network.
Contention Ratio
The ratio of users to total amount of available shared bandwidth for a given area. A higher contention ration means there is more competition for bandwidth amongst the subscribers in an area.
Fair Usage Policy
A policy that is established by each ISP which places a total data usage limit on each subscriber. The usage allowance is typically monthly and varies depending on the service plan. A lower fair usage policy is more limiting since the monthly data allowance is lower. With most ISPs, once the monthly limit is reached, the subscriber's service is either turned off, throttled back (reduced to a slower service level), or charged for extra usage fees.
LAN (Local Area Network)
The group of computers, network appliances, and other devices that makeup the local network at a specific site or location.
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
The application of voice services over an internet connection

As part of our introduction to the letter B we Baked Bread.
We mixed the ingredients together and had fun watching the magic yeast foam up!
Then we kneaded the dough . . .
and shaped it into loaves.
Here's a tip . . . when doing something like this with multiple children, put it into the pan or cookie sheet in alphabetical order. Then you can easily keep track of which item belongs to each child.
Then each kiddo brushed his loaf with butter . . .
And we waited (played!) while they baked . . .
I love the different personalities of each loaf!
Yum! Learning about B is DELICIOUS!!

Pathfinder: Domain
Mechanically-speaking, Tengu in Pathfinder: Domain are identical to those found in the Pathfinder Advanced Race Guide p162. You can also find Racial Information on them on the d20pfSRD website.
XP Cost: 13,000
Tulun Tengu: Like Kitsune, Tengu were once normal animals (crows in this case) which magically evolved during the time recorded as The Mythic Era. In a similar manner to Kitsune as well, Tengu are known for mischievous behaviour and larceny, but unlike their fox-like cousins they do not have the same quasi-mystical connection with 'luck'. Instead Tengu are known to be either scoundrels and thieves if "wild" (those in the wilderness) or dedicated swordsmen and spell-casters unburdened by morals if "civilised" (living in the rural areas around settlements). Loyal to no-one but themselves and their "ethics", Tengu work for whom they choose and for their own reasons, often seemingly at odds with the ordered laws of the Dracen. However, once their mind is made on something, they can be loyal almost to a fault: something the Dracen respect.
Place of Origin: Located primarily in the wilderness and along the fringes of civilisation in the Eastern Kingdom of Omishiru, few venture beyond its borders as they still feel their connection to that land, even now.

Andrew Beckham shares his love for the common, for the ethereal, for the orderly chaos that is nature. There is a golden thread connecting it all and this work is an invitation to be part of that connection. Blake Milteer has supported this exhibit well; in providing an open space that allows the viewer to rest and to relate with each piece. Together: artist, curator, and environment - our senses are called out to join the experience.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Gov. Pete Ricketts is headed to China for the next leg of his trade mission to meet with business and government leaders.
Ricketts began the trip in Japan, where he met with company officials who have opened production facilities in Nebraska.
The governor said Wednesday that he has met with Itochu, Japan's second-largest trading company; Kewpie, a food product company with facilities in Norfolk, David City and Ravenna; and Kawasaki, which employs more than 2,000 people in Lincoln.
Ricketts says many of the talks have focused on vocational training. In China, Ricketts says he plans to talk about the center pivot industry.
Jack Schreiner, the president of the Hastings-based Bruckman Rubber Co., says the trip has helped his mid-sized business gain a foothold in international markets.

I know I am. For many NASCAR fans, including myself, that anticipation leading up to the Daytona 500 is almost palpable. The fact that it's finally February makes a tingle go up my leg. Hey, Chris Matthews has President Obama, I have NASCAR!
I'm anxious to see how the new rules for the plate tracks (Daytona and Talladega) are going to play out in the actual races. I'm really hoping to see a break from the tandem drafting we saw last year. Some drivers liked it, some didn't. Some fans liked it, some didn't. I didn't.
My biggest problem with tandem drafting was the total dependence of a team mate or drafting partner. A driver could do virtually nothing on his own. If the guy he was drafting with couldn't run well, neither would he. He either had to find a new drafting partner, or drop out of contention. To me, that's not racing.
After Daytona, I still miss the show going to Rockingham, but I guess that's what's called progress. Either way, I'm just ready for all the excitement that Speed Weeks brings, because it signals something meaningful to look forward to every weekend!
Let's light this firecracker!

It's been a while since I did any fashion style posts, I used to be a somewhat dedicated fashion blogger but decided to stop as it was all getting a little costly. I found myself shopping solely for my blog, instead of actually wearing the clothes out. Nowadays, I tend to shop around my events and holidays, and for my day to day wear I try investing in key pieces that match every outfit!
I recently discovered this brand new app "Looker" where you can discover real people with some seriously real style! The best part of the app is that you could make some money by simply sharing your own style with us. This app has given me a new lease of style life and it's inspired me to add some new pieces (which I will be wearing out and about) to my wardrobe!
Scroll down for outfit details.

Day 2, Week 2 but today I am oh so hungry! Is this because I smashed out my workout this morning? Or because my body is starting to get over its shock at this lifestyle change? Or the fact that the menu yesterday and so far today has not included any meat? Roll on beef stir fry tonight for dinner.
I've been trying to combat the hunger by chewing sugar free cheering gum and by having a herbal tea. I hope I can get through the rest of the afternoon without snacking on naughty food!
Exercise-wise, I'm improving. I managed the mountain climbers on the back of the bench without stopping this morning and I'm getting so much better with my push ups too. Yesterday I upped my learn to run program from 30sec running intervals to 60sec running intervals. It was very difficult, but I managed. My butt does hurt quite a bit today - I notice it everytime I sit down :-(
And finally for today, I can't believe I'm so excited to be getting on the scales tomorrow for weigh in Wednesday. I have never been happy about getting on the scales. Here's hoping for an awesome result.
The journey to a "New Me". After nearly twenty years being overweight, I have embarked on the journey to a new me by signing onto Michelle Bridges' 12 Week Body Transformation (12WBT) program. This blog will journal my ups and downs along the way.

I've seen this a couple of times but I'm not sure what it means. I assume it's a book that was purchased from a library book sale but is it a hardback or paperback?
LeeAnne --
Library bindings are always hardback, since the purpose is to make the book extra sturdy. They're usually very plain, no frills bindings. Here's the Wikipedia explanation:
Thanks, Barbara! I am currently reading a paperback from the library that has a clear, contact paper type covering with double thickness at the corners of the covers. What is that called? Do you know?
LeAnne - I think what you have with your paperback is just something libraries put on covers to reinforce them and keep them intact since they go through so many hands. Either way, ex library books ARE postable!
LeeAnne, you have a book that a library covered. That's not the same as library binding, though. Library binding is a very sturdy type of hardcover binding. Think about your old textbooks (try to anyway, ha ha!) and it might help you get the idea.
LeeAnne, "library binding" involves taking off the original cover altogether and re-covering the book with a different binding (they're usually either plain colors or some sort of geometric or paisley pattern, almost like some types of wallpaper). They used to be pretty standard till ?the 70s - all the hardback books of my childhood had these - as a means to extend the life of books; these days you don't see that with new books, but if you poke around in the stacks of a big library and look at some old classics, you'll probably see the sort of thing I mean. But if you have a book that has a regular cover - with an illustration, the name of the book and author, etc. - even with some sort of plastic over it, that's not a library binding.
Now that you all have described it, I know exactly what you are talking about. I'm old enough **gasp** to remember those! Initially, I was unsure as to whether "library binding" referred to a PB or HB. Thanks for the clarification!

List Rules Films where female characters kill (because they have to)
Including new 2018 movies with strong female leads, the movies with the most kick-ass women rank among the greatest action movies of all time along with some of the best sci-fi films ever, mostly because the badass female characters in these movies really know how to bring on the pain. Falling primarily in the action and sci-fi genres, these movies with badass women put the heroines in unfathomable situations they have to kick, punch, blow up, and shoot their way out of. While many would argue that women don't get enough powerful roles in modern movies, don't tell that to these badass female movie characters!
These are not women you'd want to come face to face with in a dark alley. Shoot, Kill Bill has at least six women you wouldn't want to have to face even if the odds were about 20-1 in your favor. These hard hitting female characters are the stuff that movie legends are made of; the kick-ass films you hear about years down the road (assuming you don't cross the hardcore female characters' paths and get yourself killed). The best part? Behind each of these strong women characters is a badass actress–a real human who is kicking down doors and taking names.
What movies have women who kick butt? What are the films with kick-ass women? This movies with hardcore women list has a whole mess of actresses who kick ass. Your ass if you're not careful. If your favorite film with badass women isn't on the list, make sure to add it so other fans of movies with killer women can check out new ways to get beat up by a girl.

Schiff Port Security, Rail Safety Measures Enacted
Washington, D.C. – Several important measures authored by Rep. Schiff became law today when the president signed a comprehensive terrorism prevention bill. The bill, which reauthorized several provisions of the Patriot Act, also included provisions to address seaport security, rail safety, weapons of mass destruction, and methamphetamines.
"The 9/11 report called for us to be more creative in thinking about the possibility of future terrorist attacks, and I agree that we must act now to address all the threats that confront us," said Schiff. "These measures will help secure the ports and railways that transport our citizens and are vital to our economy."
The following Schiff provisions were included in the new law:
- Port Security – Bans using a vessel to smuggle terrorists or dangerous materials into the country; increases penalties for providing false information about a shipment or fraudulently gaining access to a seaport; and gives law enforcement more tools to stop questionable vessels before they reach a port. This provision was co-authored by Rep. Howard Coble (R-NC) and introduced in the Senate by Sens. Joe Biden, Arlen Specter, and Dianne Feinstein.
- Rail Safety – Prohibits surveilling, photographing, videotaping, diagramming, or otherwise collecting information in order to plan an attack on a mass transit system.
- Weapons of Mass Destruction – Criminalizes the use of a vessel for transporting substances (including biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons) that may be used in a terrorist attack. Also calls for forfeiture of all assets for anyone associated with the shipment of weapons of mass destruction, including technology and material.
Congressman Schiff co-founded the Democratic Study Group on National Security and is a member of the House Judiciary Committee and the House International Relations Committee. He is also a former Assistant U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles. Schiff is proud to represent California's 29th Congressional District, which includes the communities of Alhambra, Altadena, Burbank, East Pasadena, East San Gabriel, Glendale, Monterey Park, Pasadena, San Gabriel, South Pasadena and Temple City.

5 types of copy that are costing you money
Lots of companies fill valuable space on their websites, brochures, emails, press releases and sales letters with rubbish.
Marketing has one purpose – to convince people to do what you want. But so much copywriting ignores this key principle.
Instead, it focuses on boastful nonsense that's more likely to bore prospects than persuade them to buy from you.
Some of the mistakes on this list are so common you may not realise they're hurting your business. Here are just a few types of copy your customers couldn't care less about…
1. Mission statements
There was a time when every business website seemed to have a mission statement.
Lots of companies still have them. And they always seem to start with something along the lines of "we aim to become the number-one provider of widgets in the world".
But your customers don't care about your mission statement, brand purpose, manifesto (or whatever you want to call it).
The problem with mission statements
There's nothing wrong with aspiring to be better, so by all means have a mission statement. There's just no reason to tell your customers about it.
The main issue is your mission is about you – not the reader. Have you ever spent time with someone who only talks about themselves?
We all know someone like this.
These people usually have an inflated sense of their own importance and show little or no interest in what you have to say.
Mission statements often make companies seem like that annoying person you avoid because they bore you to tears.
People don't choose to buy from you because of your "commitment to innovation" "or your dedication to customer satisfaction".
Lines like this impress no-one – partly because they're so common and partly because they're dripping with self-importance.
As ad man Dave Trott says, if you really want to stand out, then be different. So in the case of mission statements, you can stand out by ignoring any urge to jump on the bandwagon.
Your customers buy from you because you provide a product or service that makes their lives easier. And it's the job of your copy to tell them what you're offering them and why they should choose you over your competitors.
Most mission statements also fail to set out a strategy that tells a company's employees the way forward. All they amount to is pompous rambling with no real purpose other than to stroke the egos of those in charge.
2. Your feelings
Lots of businesses issue press releases and other marketing materials that start with the phrase "we are delighted to announce…"
But I've got news for you.
I'm sorry. Did you mistake me for somebody who gives a fuck? pic.twitter.com/oLEO3ACRIi
— Andy Maslen, Author (@Andy_Maslen) October 4, 2017
No-one cares about how you feel about the launch of your new product or website. They just want you to answer one simple question: what's in it for me?
3. Solutions
So many companies use the word "solution", either in their business name, their taglines, or in their descriptions of their service.
You see solutions everywhere. From plumbing solutions, to imaging solutions and outsourced client solutions (what does that even mean?).
But guess what.
No-one cares about your solution.
Some people seem to think that tacking solution on the end of their business name makes them sound more professional. But even if this were true, it's now lost all its meaning because it's so over-used.
Besides, any half-decent copywriter will tell you the same thing – the word "solution" is confusing to your reader.
When someone searches for someone to unblock their toilet, of course they want a solution to that problem. But I'm willing to bet good money that nobody thinks to themselves "oh, I must call a plumbing solution".
Because all they want is a plumber! This all goes back to the idea that you should use copy to talk to your customers like you would face to face.
I'll leave the last word on solutions to fellow copywriter Sarah Turner, who quotes a now-deleted statement from Wikipedia in an old blog post:
The word solution should be confined to its use in chemistry, mathematics and problem solving. It should not be used to refer to products, services, software or a combination of these things, since such usage implies that the product or service solves the problem it is intended to solve: the word "solution" should instead be replaced by a concrete descriptive term for the type of product, such as "software". Solution often is used simply as a buzzword that can be eliminated altogether with no loss of meaning.
4. Brand experiences
Legendary direct-response copywriter Drayton Bird has the following to say about much of the marketing world's obsession with branding:
Please don't spend your time naval gazing about branding. Nobody gives a monkey's f— about your brand. Nobody wants to have a relationship with a brand. Nobody wants to f— a brand. Nobody wants to go to bed with a brand, or kiss a brand. All they care about is their sweet little selves.
Watch Drayton Bird's talk at Copy Cabana 2016 (below) for more insight on marketing:
These caustic words certainly go against the grain these days. Especially at a time when companies spend millions espousing their "brand values" and agencies promise "brand experiences" that "drive relevance in a changing world".
Yet consumers think about a brand in terms of how it makes their lives easier.
It's daft to expect them to take the love they feel for family or friends and apply them to a brand. Let's face it – it's hard enough to maintain real human relationships. Still, companies cram marketing briefs with words like "loyalty" and "passion".
The world may be changing, but one fact will remain the same until the end of time.
Your customers only care about what you can do for them.
For this reason, your copy should put your product and its benefits at the centre of any campaign.
After all, if the product doesn't fulfil your customers' needs, your swanky branding won't hide its faults for long.
5. Product features
Yep, I know this might seem like I'm contradicting myself here. But your customers don't really care your product or service – they care about what it does.
The need to write about benefits over features is a well-worn topic among copywriters. However, it's worth repeating as so much copy still ignores this principle.
Describe the quarter-inch hole – not the drill
As Harvard Business School marketing professor Theodore Levitt once said, "people don't want to buy a quarter-inch drill. They want a quarter-inch hole!" As a result, a copywriter's job is to understand what your customer really wants.
So if you're selling paint, showing the wall with a gleaming new finish grabs attention better than just listing the features of the product.
If you're selling a Ferrari, you can write copy to paint a picture of them living a VIP lifestyle. Or better still, describe the feeling of adrenaline pumping through their veins as they push the pedal to the floor.
Sell more by making your reader see and feel all the great things they get when they buy your product.
The key to successful marketing is focusing on your reader. Your customers couldn't give a rat's arse about you or your business.
With this in mind, don't waste their time by rambling on about brand experiences, mission statements, your feelings, or the features of your product or service. People don't want to read your ad – to them, it's junk mail.
Your reader's favourite subject is him/herself. So to engage them, you need to make your copy about them and not you.

People understand that there is a different between plus/minus and goal differentials (ES or all mins) and why plus/minus is worse, right?
— Garret Hohl (@GarretHohl) September 5, 2015
Most place goal differentials into either per 60 minute form or a percentage removing TOI bias. So +2/-4 is not same as +122/-124.
— Garret Hohl (@GarretHohl) September 5, 2015
Earlier I had some discussions online, ending with myself being surprised with how many did not know the difference between the traditional goal plus/minus and even strength goal differentials.
Let's take a look at the Jets as an example.
Above I have separated most of the situations that go into the plus/minus statistic.
As we can see above, how a player performs at even strength serves as the bulk and then there are these additional situations that are incorporated into the statistic.
It should be noted, that the additional situations neither encompasses all other goals, and represents a very small ice time sample.
Some players can have their plus/minus heavily impacted by these additional situations, as we see here with Andrew Ladd:
The Jets defenders offer some more interesting cases with the additional factors being larger, and in some cases having more impact than even even strength situations.
The Problem
Goal differentials have issues with sample sizes. They are extremely rare: it takes over a season for a heavy-minute defender to experience over 100 events.
This is why we tend to see players fluctuate year-to-year with extreme values relative to their teammates.
This is also why Corsi, a shot differential including all shot attempts, both fluctuates yearly to a much lesser extent and also tends to out perform past goal differentials in predicting future differentials.
However, out scoring the opponent is the ultimate goal. Over a long enough period of time, goal differentials –with context– become valuable enough to where they should be a portion on how a player is evaluated.
Plus/minus though can be looked at two different ways.
It's even strength goal differentials with some other situational goals added.
It's all minutes goal differentials with some situational goals removed.
It is understandable what someone was trying to do when plus/minus was created long ago. They obviously were not a statistician, but the intent is at least obvious.
Plus/minus attempts to be a all minutes goal differential with context, but it fails as a useful number.
The Jets own Mark Stuart in this case functions as a serviceable example.
Stuart had the worst even strength goal differential for the 2014-2015 Jets. If one was to investigate further, this is due to three factors. Stuart has a poor impact on shot differentials and tends to be outshot significantly. He also played heavy minutes under difficult usage, although he had an exceptional partner help him out. Finally, there is some luck involved in shooting and save percentage variance.
Instead of being a negative plus/minus player, Stuart ended the regular season with a plus five score (plus three from above and then 4v4 situations).
A large portion of Stuart's movement from the red zone to the black extends from the six goals the Jets scored while Stuart was on the ice as part of the penalty kill unit.
Stuart was on the ice for the most penalty goals for of all the Jets defenders. He was also on the ice on the penalty kill more than any other Jet defender. In fact, Stuart played more than nearly twice the amount of short handed ice time than any other defender not named Jacob Trouba.
While Stuart was on the ice for the most short handed goals for, he was also on the ice for the most goals against.
Plus/minus awards Stuart more than any other player on the penalty kill, despite not being the best performer on the penalty kill.
Since the move, the Jets have been their most porous with Stuart on the ice when down a player or two. The Jets have allowed more non-blocked shot attempts per minute than any other defender. Only Adam Pardy has allowed more scoring chances per minute.
It's not just in the shot metric departments where Stuart has fared poorly. It is in goals as well.
Hockey is a goal scoring contest. The ultimate goal is to out score the opposition.
Goal differentials, while flawed and susceptible to large variance without large multi-season samples, are a useful measure in figuring how players did in outscoring their opponent.
While the intent to adding context should be commended, plus/minus ultimately fails in this regard.
Adding only penalty kill goals for does not add the context of how well a player performs while short handed. Adding only power play goals against does not add the context of how well a player performs while at a man advantage. Adding pulled goalie situations sets a bias since particular players tend to play with a lead, while others tend to play while trailing (despite most evidence showing most players who are better at one are better at both).
We did not even touch on the aspect of ice time bias, with 1GF+8GA being the same as 151GF+158GA.
While goal differentials may be flawed, they are at least useful. Plus/minus though is fairly terrible.
Shot metrics are better than both anyways for most common situations anyways.

What a fiasco of a weekend!
First Jr. takes a nose dive off his bike into... concrete ground. Blood and all... Twenty minutes later he is fine but I remain traumatized the whole weekend!
Then on top of my child drama, I got to worry about my family in Staten Island as they prepared for Hurricane Sandy. They're perfectly fine and my dad finally got the credit he deserved for being right in insisting we buy a house with "Elevation A" (on a hill). Now that I think about it, well duh! Of course you should buy a house that is on higher ground especially on an Island! Even if the island is part of NYC.
So yes, poor ME and MY ruined weekend. Yes, I AM the bellybutton of the Universe and the world revolves around me. :)
But- complaining is not allowed on the Sunny Orangery. It's totally unproductive. So instead here is a pretty picture of pink flowers against blue pot right from my back yard. Pretty no!?

There are, of course, exceptions to the rule. Proust, in his cork-lined solitude, topped himself with each successive installment of "In Search of Lost Time," and more recently, Marilynne Robinson followed "Gilead" with the equally stellar "Home."
Still, most novelists avoid this cul-de-sac by starting each time with a clean slate.
So Jane Gardam, whose works of fiction culminated with the glories of "Old Filth," deserves our praise for even attempting to produce a companion work, "The Man in the Wooden Hat."
From a chronological point-of-view, this is not strictly a sequel. "Old Filth" sketched out, in a style of marvelous lightness and rightness, the life of its protagonist, Edward Feathers. There was a traumatic childhood in colonial Malaysia, the mixed bag of an English education and a long and distinguished career in the law.

oh Liz, I just cried reading this. How beautiful--and how strong you are!!! And yes, writing it out seems to really bring healing and also clarity. Bryan was the same about Hunter--he remembered it all and didn't feel the need to revisit it, just like Mike. Funny how the same exact experience can be so different for the mother and the father. Every person is different and has to walk through things like this differently. Amazing though to read how the Lord was so near to you and so loving through this. He is so good, in spite of difficulty.

Yea, I actually asked Mike if he would prefer I not share the rest of the story after he told me reading this was hard for him. Everything is so clear to him from that night. Writing has been so, so good though. Hard, but good.

Liz, I was going to wait until I finished reading your story... But I changed my mind. Although I subscribed to your blog I think during a time where you weren't writing, I can see that on here and on Instagram that your testimony touches people's lives and I'm sure they were missed... It's like encouragement. It's really nice to have when it's put out there... Seems like God was preparing your heart and mind for the right timing.
I know for me, as a single woman with dreams of a husband and family, your story has already ministered to me... And I'm only on part 2! It's inspiring. God carrying you and mike through, reverberates throughout your story and your testimony... and for me, again... Reminding me the importance of waiting on the mate God has for me. Looking forward to reading the rest. Thanks to you and Mike for opening your hearts and sharing your testimony

Why am I just seeing this?! Thank you, thank you Bethany!! xoxo

Camp EA was bustling with media types, celebrities, athletes, and producers today, as the world's biggest third-party publisher invited us to check out its lineup for 2002. Displaying over 20 different titles across multiple platforms from every imaginable genre, we certainly had our work cut out for us. One thing we could tell for sure the moment we set foot into the auditorium however is that Electronic Arts is focusing on sports in a powerful way. This preview is based on the PS2 version of the game, but the PC version is feature-exact, so what we saw today should translate to the PC without a hitch.
After plenty of negative press and fan outcry over last year's edition, the folks at EA have gone back to the drawing board and completely rebuilt Live from the ground up. Pushing its titles beyond their previous incarnations in a myriad of alternate ways was a philosophy that we saw exercised across the board. The biggest of which, may be the retooled NBA Live 2003. Coming off of yesterday's announcement of Jason Kidd's endorsement, the hot-again hoopster was gathering quite a crowd. And based on what we played for ourselves, it was deservingly so.
The move to brand new code was a clever one, as one of the first improvements we could spot was in terms of speed. Much quicker than the animation-heavy, four-minute lay-up offering from last year, this quicker version was all about action. The fast break is back (which was curiously absent before), and defensive steals and blocks are much easier to pull off (and much more fun).
The fast-paced action also shows through in the player formation system. More intuitive and effective than last year's method of stopping the game to go into a menu before choosing a formation, the on-the-fly switch let us adapt to our opponents more appropriately. Whether we were on offense or defense, shifting ourselves from post up to run and gun, or just adjusting the players to zone, our grooves weren't affected one bit (re: making adjustments was fun). Additionally there is a planned 20 different ways to rebound, with a renewed focus on more realistic defense.
Another change this time around was the inclusion of all the alternate jerseys (many of which brought smiles to our faces, like the old school Warriors' shirts and 1970's all-star uniforms), additional bench cinematics, and the super sweet one-on-one mode. A chance to match up your two favorite (or not so favorite) players in a game of first to 10, the ginchy little mini-game turned into a terrific distraction. Who would win between Bibbins and Kidd anyway? The best feature in last year's under par offering, it already looks and plays much more impressively.
On the darker side of things, the animations for each player have yet to be completed, which gives the impression of choppy frame rate even when zipping along the basketball court. Most noticeable when smushed between a group of characters, the jittery animations can be quite confusing and often resulted in the wrong guy passing the ball instead of shooting, because of the effort it took to discern who had what. A few other interesting glitches, like those found when free throwing or the mysterious numerical bug we unlocked when we made our zone changes too quickly that ultimately resulted in a crash were among the few complaints to be lodged. But for a game that's still in its pre-alpha stages, the errors were happily few in number.
Luckily the game is getting a visual improvement over last year, with all sorts of intricate details that match their real life counterparts. Shaq has all of his tattoos, Ewing sits on the bench with ice on his knees, and Kobe runs through the motions of his entire signature guffawing after an effective shot.
Perhaps the biggest improvement we've seen a sports game make this early in development in quite some time, NBA Live 2003 is trying extra hard to be number one. Already a superior product to the 2002 edition in its entirely unfinished state, the signs of EA Sports reclaiming the "Best Basketball" title once again may not be far behind.

KOSLIN, or COSLIN, a town of Germany, in the Prussian province of Pomerania, at the foot of the Gollenberg (45o ft.), 5 M. from the Baltic, and 105 M. N.E. of Stettin by rail. Pop. (1905), 21,474. The town has two Evangelical and a Roman Catholic church, a gymnasium, a cadet academy and a deaf and dumb asylum. In the large market place is the statue of the Prussian king Frederick William I., erected in 1824, and there is a war memorial on the Friedrich Wilhelm Platz. The industries include the manufacture of soap, tobacco, machinery, paper, bricks and tiles, beer and other goods. Koslin was built about 1188 by the Saxons, and raised to the rank of a town in 1266. In 1532 it accepted the doctrines of the Reformation. It was severely tried in the Thirty Years' War and in the Seven Years' War, and in 1720 it was burned down. On the Gollenberg stands a monument to the memory of the Pomeranians who fell in the war of 1813-15.End of Article: KOSLIN, or COSLIN

Barbican Theatre, Plymouth.
Syncapoda is touring schools, theatres, festivals and events in June and July and will launch National Insect Week, June 19-25, at the Natural History Museum in London
On Saturday an 8ft praying mantis menaced my son. Well, a dancer from the Syncapoda Project portraying a preying mantis loomed over him in a suitably threatening fashion. The group of young people behind Syncapoda have worked for a year on an hour-long performance of dance inspired by the motion of insects.
This wonderful production, developed in collaboration with Peter Smithers, scientific officer of terrestrial ecology at Plymouth University, captured the essence of the movements of various arthropods without constraining an inspirational piece of contemporary dance. The performance was very well received. Even by nine-year-old Sam.
Syncapoda was sponsored by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council under its public engagement initiative despite the fact that the BBSRC does not fund any research on insect behaviour. A quick search of its website for "insect behaviour" reveals that since 2000 the research council has awarded just two research grants that have these key words, both for modifying the behaviour of insect pests using novel chemicals - not exactly suitable material for public engagement. The BBSRC is primarily interested in genomic and systems approaches relevant to applied issues in biology, physiology and agriculture. So it is fascinating that when the organisation wishes to engage the public it turns to science that it does not fund but in which the public are interested.
We see the same phenomena in broadcasting. Like many, I was turned on to biology by David Attenborough's Life on Earth . Since then, we have had Living Planet , Trials of Life , Private Life of Plants , Life of Birds , Life of Mammals , Life in the Freezer , Life in the Undergrowth and now Planet Earth - all of them focused on ecology, environment, behaviour and evolution. This is what the public wants to know about, what students come to university to study. A few years ago, the chief executive of the Natural Environment Research Council asked me: "How can I possibly go to the Government and ask for money to study behavioural ecology?" The answer, of course, is that this is the part of biology that is engaging to the public.
The BBC, or any other broadcaster, has yet to make a 12-part series on "exons and introns" or "non-coding DNA". They know (in this instance "they" are almost all non-scientists) that almost no one would watch it.
I do not for a moment disagree with the provision of funding for applied research, for genomics or for any aspect of molecular biology. But I do worry that we are losing our blue-skies research base in ecology and organismal biology. If our funders continue to select against such research, they will lose us the support of the public, who are genuinely interested in questions such as why peacocks have elaborate trains, how wildebeest might respond to climate change or even how preying mantises catch their prey.
It is ironic that the current fashion for linking art and science seems to be mainly about science inspiring art. Perhaps us scientists could see that artists understand what engages the public and follow their lead with some art-inspired science. We could do worse than to look at the inspiring interpretations of insect behaviour created by a group of teenagers in Plymouth.
Matthew Evans is professor of behavioural ecology at Exeter University's Cornwall campus.

Hour of Code 2017 is here. I've got a lot lined up this week for my school and clubs. There will be Hour of Code activities from Code.org available for all classes K-4 during the week in the computer lab. In addition, I've got plans for some 3rd graders to draw a letter (like the first letter of their name) and learn about coordinates using Scratch. Some 1st graders will begin using Scratch Jr. to make a winter project on iPads.
Each of the 4th-grade classes is starting a different Scratch project – Math game, Labyrinth and Ada's poetry Generator, or Beetle Blocks project – print your name.
The library club with be trying out the Virtual Pet project from Scratch tomorrow and my school club will be starting their individual projects.
I've done some of these projects before but I'm hoping to blog about some of the new ones in more detail. This is just a preview of the week to come.

We arrived about half 2 and the car park seemed busy so I was a bit concerned that it would be overcrowded, but it wasn't, it was perfect inside. We made a bee-line for the cafe, Nana and Daddy both needed a caffeine intake and kids wanted ice-cream.
After our little refreshment break we wandered out into the castle grounds.
On this occasion, we decided not to go inside the castle, the kids needed to stretch their legs and Luca is at the age where he just wants to run about.
It is a beautiful building, Eva thought it was like a fairytale castle. We will return at a later date to explore the inside of the castle, when Luca is a bit older.
The gardens are fabulous, lots of little nooks and crannies to explore and the flowers are just beautiful. The kids were really pleased to find some little games on the lawn, skittles, so we all had a little game. Eva is very competitive and not a very good loser!
We spent a good hour wandering around the gardens, smelling the flowers and reading the different plant names. It was lovely and peaceful, until my two started running about chasing, yet again, The Gruffalo!
If you are ever in the area and looked for some tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the Lake District tourist trap, give Sizergh a try, it may be small, but it's perfectly formed!

So, I haven't written something here in awhile. I considered many different weighty, profound topics for my next entry, because it's been sort of a weighty year. I contemplated the issue of how the smartest group of students I've ever had makes for the most stressful year, the woes of unhappy teachers unions, and life under a microscope as a teacher.
It's been a busy year so far, what with attending far more teacher meetings than I ever have, and also plowing through a 6 week middle school endorsement class. I just don't have the mental stamina to write one more scholarly article with APA citations, I tell you!
Instead, I will resort to the brainless and comical as it pertains to my school.
So here it goes: my school is a zoo. Whether it be the result of the drought, elevated animal reproduction rates, or the exterior of the school eroding, all I know is there are more beasts than children in the school right now.
Here is the current line up for the Animal Kingdom Parade!
The Wolf Spider!
The Mouse!
Okay, so the mouse hasn't made an appearance in a couple of years, but we still find remnants of the past in the form of tiny shreds of Hershey's Kisses wrappers. I'll never forget the time I turned around from my computer to find Ralph--sans motorcycle--sitting a few feet away just staring at me. I think there were a few moments' confusion as to who really belonged in the room.
The mouse is a distant memory, but the three aforementioned critters are alive and well and terrorizing our school. Spiders have scurried over children's feet mid-class; a box-elder landed directly in my hand while I waited for the copy machine the other day; bookshelves have been broken in attempts to apprehend the intruders. Teacher pleas for pesticide have not been well received, so I'm thinking it's about time to go vigilante on these mugs.
So I've done some research (would ya look at that? The brain cells aren't all used up yet!) and here's what I've found out. Some home remedies for repelling wolf spiders include hummingbirds, lavender, and diatomaceous (???) earth. Also, wolf spiders just love trees, logs, brush, and other foliage. So, I will probably pave the prairie in the school's backyard and put up a parking lot.
For centipedes, one website suggests setting out a sticky trap and catching multiple at once. The image of a sticky trap full of centipedes has just insured at least one nightmare tonight.
Apparently box elder bugs can never be completely killed off as they have an "unlimited source" and migrant box elders will come from neighboring places to replace the dead ones. Great.
This school ain't big enough for all of us. Either all these guys get wiped out soon, or I have a feeling us teachers are going to be carried off by an angry mob of many-legged creatures.
The war begins.
Young teacher with the powers of intellect and wit to do some serious damage in this world. Instead, I've chosen a lifehood of bondage and servitude. That's got to count for something, doesn't it?

Pablo (your former student) has recently gotten into the business of capturing Box Elders. Yesterday, his captive (named Jennifer) was held in her jail cell/tissue with staples holding it together until she was later liberated due to the fact that all her legs fell off. Today, Pablo's prisoners were named Mary Ann and Deborah. Their fate is unknown at this time.ReplyDelete

But pay attention: on equipped paths it's essential to use helmet, harness, and specific lanyard. The perpetual drive for innovation at C.A.M.P. results also in the most efficient systems for via ferrata – like the patented Gyro that prevents lanyards twisting and tangling – and in the new products designed in compliance with safety requirements fixed by the new review of the EN 958 standard that went into effect in early 2017. It's also for these reasons that CAMP via ferrata lanyards continue to have great success in Germany, where authoritative Alpin and Bergsteiger magazines have recently focused on via ferrata sets by testing some models and assigning awards to our Vortex Rewind Pro (Allround-Tipp award by Alpin) and Kinetic Gyro Rewind Pro (Bergsteiger Testsieger for its amazing funcionality). Alpin suggests the Vortex Rewind Pro due to the great features of the ergonomic Horai carabiners, the precise rewind webbing lanyards construction, the low weight (520 grams), and the interesting price. Bergsteiger testers appreciated very much the Kinetic Gyro Rewind Pro due the Horai carabiners and the Gyro system, that was found the best anti-tangling system available on the market. The Kinetic Gyro Rewind Pro was tested and positively reviewed also by Bergsteigen.com (Austria) that highlighted its main features – the Horai carabiners and the Gyro system, of course – in a video that is available here. All these authoritative good opinions confirm the great attention that C.A.M.P. have for via ferrata enthusiasts: thousands of mountain lovers who are always looking for new and exciting equipped paths. Eventually, we can say that the Vortex Rewind Pro is the right choice for those who want a functional set but also light and compact while the Kinetic Gyro Rewind Pro is the non plus ultra for the most demanding users.

Since I've been tagged again by Shehan I would like to present Albums of Ten Artists that I would take, if I was marooned in a deserted island. Okey okey, I was tagged for 5. why 10? well, 5 for English and 5 for Hindi. Simple!
#1 Marc Anthony
He has a soul touching voice and he's undoubtedly one of the best singers now in industry. Has a vast range on his singing scales and you can embrace his voice at anytime. It's refreshing.
#2 Beyonce
No need to tell about her. One of the best performers that I've seen. She has the perfect singing ability which comes with the dancing as well. Drives crazy… thats all.
#3 Collection of Greatest Hits by BSB, West Life and Blue
Even if you like or not. I need all them. Millions of people love these bands and I love them too. I call them as Legends.
#4 Collection of Greatest Hits by BoneyM and Abba
Forgive me for the 2nd time. I actually have such a collection. Only mp3 not Audio. he he. I think these 2 bands changed the Pop, Disco and Dance-pop Genres. I love many of there songs and you never feel that they are old.
#5 Linkin Park
Electronic + Rock = Whole World Rockz….! Thats it. They know how to blend Rocks with Electronic and when you hear the songs in full capacity, your body starts to Rock too.
#1 Sonu Nigam
If I need say another name to a "Greatest Singer who has a miraculous voice and born with singing ability", It's Sonu Nigam. Western or Eastern, Bengali or karnatic, Acting or Dancing. He's done all these perfectly and he's continuing to do as well. He's got many Awards for best playback singer. I think he's the current best Singer in India (in the world i would say).
#2 Shaan
What a voice and what a performer. he's one who has a different voice with extraordinary singing style. Got some Filmfare awards recently too.
#3 Chitra
Perfect singing with outrageous singing capacity and range. What a Voice! What a Skill and how miraculously is her constancy.
#4 Sunidhi Chauhan
I would say in just one phrase "This voice claims that The future of Indian Music Industry is so clear!"
#5 Alka Yagnik
One of the Mostly loved, Admired female singers who is also consistent till today. More words are needless to explain the capability and the work that has been done by Alka. Among all them above; Srinivas, Unni Krishnan, Shankar Mahadevan are some of the other best vocaists who have the skills and sung great songs for India.
