Hey, I'm back!
In the past weeks I've been on an unplanned hiatus from blogging. To be totally honest, even though I enjoy writing I've been trying to figure out if I should continue doing so. Most of the time it's fun, I really like the subject and I like getting feedback from and interacting with people; at the same time it does take some valuable hours from my schedule. Also, it seems like there are a constant 100 unique visitors per month*, which is not much, so I sometimes feel my blogging is not making a dent in the universe (for you 37 Signals fans).
Anyway, I've decided to return to blogging and give it some more months to see how it goes. I've already got new things to share, like a new widget I'm about to publish, a new webapp I'm almost ready to start (as soon as I publish the widget), and I've found an artist who is helping me with a children's ebook, so hopefully it will be interesting and useful for all of you.
Thanks again for reading!

Trains were brought to a screeching halt by a rogue trampoline which was blown onto the tracks.
The trampoline caused delays for passengers travelling between Glasgow and Neilston, East Renfrewshire, as heavy winds caused by Storm Caroline landed it on the railway.
It was described as an "obstruction" by Scotrail staff as they sent out a warning at 7.12 am this morning (Thu) on Twitter.
Services were delayed, cancelled or revised with those travelling on the line allowed to use a bus to get to their destination instead.
The trampoline landed on the tracks and services were not running normally until 9.30am.
On Twitter, Scotrail reminded those living near train tracks to secure garden furniture to prevent further delays as winds in Scotland are expected to hit 90mph.
They wrote: "There is a trampoline blocking the line in the Patterton area.
"Please remember to secure garden furniture/trampolines if you live near the railway tracks."

New ecotourism sites identified in Taita Taveta county
Chawia Forest in Mwatate, Taita Taveta county has been identified by the Tourism Finance Corporation as a viable site for tourism development opportunities in the county.
Tourism Finance Corporation Senior Research Officer Anderson Jumaa says they will catalogue the investment opportunities they have identified and showcase the sites at an International Investment Exhibition Forum to be held in Nairobi on 2nd to 4th October to attract investors.
Jumaa made the remarks when he toured the forest accompanied by Taita Taveta county Deputy Governor Majala Mlagui, acting Tourism chief officer Rhoda Mwashighadi and community members. "We are considering Lake Challa, Jipe, Wesu Rock and Chawia Forest which are good facilities for development of Eco lodges," said Jumaa.
Residents have identified the highest peak of Chawia, Mwangoji, as a good site to set up cottages. The hill offers awesome views of the landscape, Lake Jipe, Tsavo West and Usambara Mountains in Tanzania. The deputy governor proposed that the hills can be used for paragliding while the lower zones could be utilised to launch hot air balloons.
The local community is involved in conservation activities of the 86 hectare Chawia forest. Members of Furaha Women group have planted 14,000 indigenous trees in the forest in the last two years.
"We have Prunus Africana Mngima, Mwava, Msu, Msurughache, Hornybill tree, Mrangi famously known as Bamboo and Mkuyu. We use the barks of Mkungo, Mshigha and Mwashokonyi to make dyes which we use when weaving our baskets," said Gladys Mwawuasi, a member of the group.
According to the Acting Chief Officer Tourism, Trade and Cooperative Rhoda Mwashighadi, cataloguing the sites will be crucial in convincing investors to invest in the county. " Taita Taveta is beautiful, we also welcome local tourists to explore this county" said Mwashigadi.

Who is George Soros and what is the Open Society Foundation? Diego Fusaro, philosopher and researcher, explains it to Byoblu fans. After 1989 a class conflict emerges: on the one side globalist forces such as powerful "big business" and finance lords, who envision the world as an Open Space with no borders and no rights, and, on the other side, the dominated class made up by old proletariat and bourgeoisie, who once used to be on opposite sides but are now brought together by their newly acquired state of precariousness in both living and working conditions, brought upon by the severance of sovereignty in their own countries and general decay of State institutions such as public education, health security, trade unions and family support. It is therefore very telling that George Soros' named its foundation "Open Society", symbol of a new international Global Class which aims at transforming the world into a single global marketplace with no borders, where goods and profits can transit unlimitedly, and where the new enemy is anyone who tries to resist by clinging on to traditional values and ethics. The new Global Class, of which Soros is but the best known representative, operates throughout the whole world and organizes in groups such as Bilderberg, aimed at maintaining their own power. This is no conspiracy theory: it's just the ruling class protecting its own privileges by limiting rights to their own advantage but to the detriment of the people through deregulation, unfair competition and by attacking political sovereignty, which, according to Hegel, solely can tame the " wild beast of free trade". These lords are waging a war against all the achievements of the middle class, whether bourgeois or proletarian: family values, public ethics and state sovereignty. The Global Class that Soros represents so well is winning this class war. Warren Buffet, the third richest man in the world, famously said: "The class war is on and my class is winning it".

the fact that the lead id makes it easy for everyone to share once the client is added into the system
starts becoming a bit slower at times. Tendency of just my own network slowing down.
very simple program
we use velocify for sorting leads and dispositioning them within a company.
I appreciate ease of access from taking leads by their appropriate status (e.g. adult general, adult enterprise learning).
I truly must say that there is nothing that I happen to find wrong with it. No changes are necessary at this point.
I am resolving following up with students who were once in a nurturing status and either have re-inquired and/or called in to move to the next step. Additionally, the benefits allows me to successfully categorized them in Velocify so that I don't have to worry about writing anything down on paper.
My favorite thing about Velocify is the organization, with the dashboard and calendar system, but most important the tracking of actions are very important in a Sales environment.
Seems like there's a couple bugs here and there with the phone forwarding, but they're not soul crushing.
It allows me to measure my metrics, thus allowing me to scale my business more effeciently.
It's simple to use, very few glitches or bugs, and provided me with the data that I needed to assist my prospects with. I was able to organize my leads and follow-ups quite easily. Velocify also worked great partnered up with an autodialer called Five9. Their customer service is great.
Velocify sometimes did not play nicely with Five9. It required two separate windows to be opened taking up space on my monitor.
Velocify is a great CRM for heavy outbound calling and inbound calling. When paired with an autodialer such as Five9, be wary that there might latency issues. Lead information may not load up in a prompt manner.
Customer Relationship Management, lead management, data management. CRM's provide excellent data management when compared to using a paper list to call leads from, and they are much more efficient than SpreadSheets.
I like the ability to easily manage and update leads.
The way our IS team has worked with velocity and implemented the software.
Make sure your tech team is able to understand and imement changes.
The management and lead flow and lead lifecycle.
I like of the capabilities that are used to make the experience with encompass a streamlined process
nothing the product is great and I have found no error
Mobile app could use improvement
The simplicity is the best thing about Velocify. All the buttons are in the right place.
I don't like the error we get when looking up leads, having to re enter because it doesn't load the first time.
Go for it.
We have solved our contact speed thus bringing up our overall increase in loans funded. The first person to speak to the borrower has more chance of earning business.
ability to set specific call back times
Doesn't auto populate market with zip...
Knowing what type of client and making me seem very professional since I am able to make notes about client and call them back at the time they want
It has multiple views that can be customized to show you exactly what you are looking for
It constantly kicks you out of the system even if you are in the middle of an active call
Do it. Its a great way to manage tons of calls,
It's helping us to manage leads. This way we can sort through the relevant leads and ignore the people who have closed or are no longer interested in purchasing a home
It's really functional and intuitive. It's also easily customized. Very, very few glitches. Provides great analytics, too.
Can be a tiny bit laggy sometimes, but otherwise, I have few complaints.
We needed a CRM that would allow us to have a lot of options for managing our leads from various campaigns at various points in the sales lifecycle. It saves a lot of time and hassle.
Everything that you need is at your fingertips. This CRM system definitely organizes leads, your appointments and your whole book of business:
The software needs to integrate texting.
Definitely worth the investment. Best CRM out there. Needs texting capabilities.
Staying more organized definitely.
My organization has definitely improved. Being able to call more potential clients.
It is very easy to use and it even has reminders so it makes it simple. I love it! I recommend it to everyone!
nothing to dislike. Everything is perfect for me with this program.
It is not time consuming and I can get so much done in little time so I have more time for other tasks.
Very easy to use and navigate through the system. Easy to sort leads and prioritize.
Sometimes slow running and not loading fast enough.
simple leads and easy to use and fast
The organization of leads and call priority!
NOTHING! Makes my job 100% more effective!
Benefits are that the team call production is higher and more efficient!
easy to use, quick to get info ;on customer. can set appointments, keeps notes
not , i have no issues using the system,
can dial customers quickly and go on to next one if no answer.
The Ease of use and accessibility, and being able to set up reminders
The fact that I am not directly given the leads once they come in to the system, they have to manually be given to me by a manager which can take days
Being able to contact people as soon as they call us, and always having access to the website to ensure that happens
the layout of the tabs with all the boxes to save my clients info
the blade lagging time its shot but you barely notice it.
keep up the consistency!
loosing info from clients
This software is extremely sophisticated
That I haven't send Andrew Kellerman a gift for all his hard work!
The analytics are key and the reporting is extremely comprehensive
Pipeline management - and brand integrity
The Calendar Event feature which allows me to set and adhere to appointments without any issues! I like to use it to create multiple appointments and the fact that it lets me use it and then see on my dashboard my upcoming contacts is a wonderful feature that definitely helps me maximize my workflow.
Wish there were more options on the popup for calendar events like allow me to leave notes and even create actions when the window pops up for an appointment to avoid me going into the lead fully sometimes
GET IT! Velocify is the best software I know for lead management
Calling back customers in a timely manner as well as providing excellent follow up services. I realize that the benefits of this will allow me to sell more effectively and grow with the market.
How fast responses are between phone, program and leads. It keeps all of my leads organized. Easy to keep notes and access file information while I'm taking the call. It completes an application and moves everything into my other program, "encompass" very well. Everything updates as it's put in and makes sure it's correctly filled out before the file is saved and transferred.
Sometimes there's a lag for shotgun calls. When clicking a specific magnifying glass on the front page, it covers the other leads from being clicked/accessed. There's sometimes lag between the call starting and the phone ringing that ranges anywhere from 5-15 seconds.
Make sure to use all of the customizable features to make your co-worker's jobs easier.
I go through a thousand leads a week and it keeps everything organized for me. It saves hours worth of time a week just in existing. It makes the job easier and more manageable and I find myself and the entire workforce more productive.
Makes staying on top of sales and files so easily!
What is there to dislike? Not much I can think of
stay on top of priority view
I used to be very disorganized and bad at callbacks - this has changed my life.
i like that the system was never down and always running
i did not dislike anything about velocity
i would absolutely consider velocity its very easy to use and met all requirements
providing leads
The automated reminders to contact customers
sometimes the contact/call back does not allow you to put a comment- must set up another appt
following up, faster turn times, more contact with borrowers.
Great system for admissions. All of the best parts of campus vue just dedicated to admissions.
Not much. System gives you access to not only my student's informaiton but can also query other reps students.
Great, cost effective software solutions for admissions over other more detailed and expensive programs
Better time managemnt and out reach to potential students. Helps with long term follow up with the "nurture" function
I like the options of updating the lead status and comments. Also the dial IQ feature is amazing to help insure your clients will actually take the call and get them on the phone.
duplicate leads. there needs to be a way the system can pick up if there is any other leads in the system with the same name, address etc..
anyone and everyone who is in the sales industry NEEDS velocify to expend your business and help you reach goals.
the fact that we are able to narrow down to even the times to call clients. that has solved a lot of our selling problems. Pin pointing exact problems and coming up with a solution.
I can navigate through the system with ease. Everything is titled so that I can utilize an effective approach to my tasks of the day. I can access phone calls, campus reps activities, and so much more.
Being able to locate duplicate accounts is difficult. With over 11 campuses and thousands of leads, I would like to suggest a more convenient way in identifying duplicate accounts without having to manually seek them out.
I would highly recommend any company to use Velocify. It is effective, productive, and allows you to analytically support staff in training, time management, and customer interaction.
Going through the database of each campus and accessing all inquiries by filtering them out is a great touch. Making sure that all leads have been contacted and are being places in the proper action status.
The lead pages can be customized to include custom tabs and fields that allow for endless possibilities. This technology, coupled with the help of the Velocify technology team, has allowed for integration with our existing telephony and Loan Origination System to allow us to create reports and route calls in ways we didn't have the ability to do previously.
Velocify is geared to work better with Google Chrome, but some of our other systems require Internet Explorer to function. Some of our users also don't have Chrome installed. While Velocify still works with Internet Explorer, it's functionality and views work better in Chrome (having seen them side by side). Better support for Internet Explorer to mirror functionality may help serve clients who can't / don't have Chrome.
I also don't like that reports don't allow the user to use an "Or" statement. I.E. If I want to see all loans with Field A = blank or Field B = 5, I would have to pull two separate reports and then combine them.
If you are looking for something that allows customization to your specific needs, Velocify is what you are looking for. Imports allow you to update any field you want, which allow for mass updates with a single click of a button (up to a maximum of 50,000 leads per file). We manage about 270,000 unique leads in this system.
If reporting is what you are concerned with, Velocify can report lead logs (showing every action that took place with a lead) or just give basic information on a lead. You can build custom reports to add any field you are looking for.
Imports allow us to update leads with current loan information and distribute to designated sales teams using distributions that Velocify allows us to create. It allows us to easily manage lead distribution. We have also been able to automate lead creation from web inquiries to increase speed to lead.
Lead distribution is the key to managing all leads. Text messaging is also giving us tremendous results.
Help desk seems to be very limited. However we deal with it because we understand that Velocify is growing tremendously and has it's growing pains.
Take your time and really think things through when you are doing your initial set up and completing your lead flow diagram. Don't think twice about investing in Velocify, for us it was the best investment ever made.
We were having issues keeping track of our current customers and insuring that we were contacting them the correct amount of times using various channels. Velocify has helped us keep track of our calls and by using their Text and Email features we are in constant contact with out Clients.
What I like best about Velocify is its easy access to contact multiple clients just within a few clicks. One click, BOOM im dialing John Jankins from Alabama. Two clicks BANG, im on my next call to Timmy Thompson, out in Hawaii.
What I dislike most about Velocify is that the abilities to customize it on a personal level is very limited. I want to be able to maybe make the font different, or change the color of the screen. Little stuff like that really makes things interesting. Especially if im looking at this dang screen for 10 hours a day.
Velocify is like having an extra set of eyes, ears and hands. In my profession. time managements is key. The less time I have to worry about keeping phone numbers and addresses together. The more time I can spend on something more productive.
In my profession. Numbers are key and the higher numbers I can dial, the more chances I have of getting a deal. The ability to speed dial and go through 20 or 30 calls in less than 5 minutes means the world to me and my business.
I love the magnifying glass. A quick glance at the lead is my most used button.
In the beginning, it took me a while to figure out how to use it. I could have definitely used a "how to" navigation screen when you log in the first couple of times. It definitely lags when I export a lead to encompass. When im on the phone with a customer i need quick quick quick!
100% WORTH IT!!!! Definitely try it
sales, we can call the people we need to do mortgage loans.
keeps me up to date as I go through out my day
Lead from some company's take longer to be added to the system
allow for multi status changes. Sometime we go through lead and would like to mark them as a group
The ability to create it and customize it just for your liking and business needs
The inability to transfer information to partnering programs
It allows me to be organized and keep my thoughts and ideas focused
lead q - maximization of time. lets you move quickly
would like to have task management for team
Efficient for making calls
I enjoy how easy it is to use. I am not very technical but I found it didn't take long for me to start working with Velocify
I think the colors on the page could be a bit sharper, pop more. My personal opinion is my eyes don't focus on key parts and I have to sometimes look for it
Get your sales team using Velocify
We're trying to be available to our customers and fair to our sales staff with inbound calls
Calendar and links. It insures I don't miss any reminders
Ability to forward or move reminders forward.
It doesn't let me forget calls and emails
You set to phone for notifications, lead nurturing, easy to follow up,
wish bad contacts were verified before posting
none, keeps you updated
The call response choices are plentiful and clear
Too much jumping around to get assigned leads, my manager would rather give me the lead verbally than try and switch it.
I enjoy the Dialer features. I enjoy the organization it provides the and the ability to monitor my progress.
I enjoy all the features. I like it all.
Solving a communications, time and effectiveness. With Velocify I can reach a larger audience with less time consumption.
Ease of use and reporting.
Not as flexible as it could be for custom integrations and design work
Lead distribution optimization and speed to contact w/o spending hundreds of thousands on a home grown call center and dialer
Automatically sets up future calendar events for leads who have not yet responded.
Would like to send out personalized group emails, for example, all of those whom are all ready pre approved, without having to go through each one.
Hundreds of tasks are impossible to track effectively with out a tool such as Velosify.
reporting and pipeline

The screen display, additional links, & efficiency
Sometimes there are glitches or delays when transferring leads
Very easy to use & navigate through. Many different links for efficiency
the benefits of efficiently transferring leads over, filtering through leads, & prioritizing
My whole work day revolves around Velocify. Super easy to use & has great capabilities. SUPER important that it's set up correctly and that you have it programmed to do what you want and how you what which Im sure can be tedious to set up but the functionality of it is great. It can do so many things---click to dial, calendar events, pre recorded VM's, reports...etc
I wish Lead Form View and Script Form view were merged into 1 page.
I wish the app had more functionality--be able to action and move calendar events etc
Best lead management system Ive used.
user friendly, lead database, search database, inbound distribuition
nothing very user friendly, couldn't suggest amything at this time.
utilizie it
writing insurance
Dashboard allows me to access performance metrics quickly, and my sip phone sync is fast very fast
Actions aren't always reported accurately
Lead management
I like the dial IQ feature the best...saves time and is more accurate than manual dialing.
Sometimes it lags or freezes. I would like improvements made with the overall accessibility. Mobile operation would be a huge plus
I am utilizing as sales tool in order to contact and track my outbound calls. It has increased my overall sales productivity.
It sends me a notification via text when I receive a new lead. I can set appointments and tasks in my calendar. It allows for me to make notes for each lead when contacted and fast and easy look up for follow up.
It can take up to an hour to receive a lead notification.
Better contact management.
Very easy to use make sense and the system is very understandable
The only thing i do not like is when a call comes in and your dialing out the system crashes and you have to restart the system
Connecting with clients
variety of ways to filter leads to best make calls
faster response time maybe or less glitch
which calls are most effective
Lead and follow up priority view and the ability to tag hot leads for immediate follow up.
Not being able to differentiate between a borrower actively shopping for a home and someone who is just starting the process and not actively seeking to purchase.
Effective follow up has benefited my conversion ratio

The immediate past Commissioner of Education, Science and Technology in Oyo State, Professor Adeniyi Olowofela has emerged the Federal House of Representatives candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress for Ido/Ibarapa East Federal Constituency through affirmation by delegates at the party's primary election.
Following the consensus decision of all the delegates, voice voting was adopted for the primary election which was held at the Ido Local Government Headquarters where delegates' names were called out.
The delegates, totaling 605 affirmed by saying "yes, we are in support of Professor Adeniyi Olowofela as our candidate for Federal House of Representatives".
Meanwhile, Olowofela was the only aspirant of the party jostling for the seat and the delegates had to vote in order to complete due process in line with the electoral law.
While speaking with newsmen after his election, he thanked the delegates, leaders and stakeholders from across the two local government areas housing the Federal constituency, stressing that his endorsement was an evidence of the confidence reposed in him.
Prof. Oliwofela specifically thanked Governor Abiola Ajimobi for finding him worthy to be appointed Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology and Caretaker Committee Chairman of Ido Local Government out of many eminently qualified citizens, appreciating him for the opportunity given to serve.
He assured the constituents of purposeful representation and also promised to attract quality and people -oriented projects to the constituency to enhance the socio-economic and political life of the people in the federal constituency. Also, he promised to operate an all-inclusive representation through regular consultations with the people of Ido/Ibarapa East Federal Constituency and come up with the best policies and programmes to achieve success.
"My sole objective remains an advocacy for the improvement of the lot of my people and ensuring that young men and women coming after me in the community have a better deal through responsive, responsible and effective governance. I consider this a huge privilege and a great responsibility
"At this juncture, we need quality representation. We need someone who will represent the people's interest and not individualistic interest. By God's grace, when I get to the House of Representatives, our most fundamental needs in this constituency will be thoroughly addressed. This is not my personal race and that is why I am counting on the support of everyone.
"I know that I cannot do it alone. I am hereby soliciting for the support and assistance of all", he posted.

ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 18, 2013--
BioTime, Inc. (NYSE MKT: BTX), today reported financial results for the
fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 and highlighted its
fourth quarter and recent corporate accomplishments.
Fourth Quarter and Recent Highlighted Corporate Accomplishments
"We have positioned 2013 to be a very pivotal year in the development of
our product opportunities as BioTime begins human clinical trials for Renevia™,
OncoCyte initiates its PanC-Dx™ clinical study, LifeMap Sciences
expands its revenue generating product offerings, and we move to close
our transaction with BAC and Geron," said Michael D. West, Ph.D.,
BioTime's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The proceeds from our
recent equity financings will support the funding of our operations and
cash commitment to BAC through this year."
Financial Results
For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, on a consolidated basis, total
revenue was $1.2 million, down $0.5 million from $1.7 million for the
same period one year ago. The decrease in fourth quarter revenue is
primarily attributable to lower grant revenue related to the completion
of BioTime's research grant from the California Institute for
Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), and a decrease in the sale of research
products, partially offset by subscription and advertising revenues from
LifeMap Sciences' online database GeneCards®, which
LifeMap Sciences began marketing in May of 2012.
For the full year 2012, total revenue, on a consolidated basis, was $3.9
million, down $0.5 million from $4.4 million in 2011. The decrease in
annual revenue is primarily due to the same factors that contributed to
the decline in fourth quarter revenues. License revenue included
subscription and advertising revenues from LifeMap Sciences' online
database GeneCards®, and accounted for approximately
$0.8 million in new revenue beginning at the end of the second quarter
of 2012.
Total expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $8.1
million, compared to expenses of $7.1 million for the same period of
2011. Fourth quarter operating expenses increased 14% from 2011 due to
an increase in staffing, and the expansion of research and development
efforts, including additional expenses in the Renevia™ clinical
development program and PanC-Dx™ cancer diagnostic development
program, and one-time transaction legal expenses related to Geron's stem
cell assets contribution agreement.
Total expenses for the full year ended December 31, 2012 were $28.5
million, compared to $23.0 million for the full year ended December 31,
2011. The increase in expenses is primarily related to an increase in
staffing, the expansion of research and development efforts, and
transaction legal expenses.
Net Loss
Net loss attributable to BioTime for the three months ended December 31,
2012 was $6.0 million or $0.12 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.4
million or $0.11 per share for the same period in 2011. Net loss
attributable to BioTime for the full year ended December 31, 2012 was
$21.4 million or $0.44 per share, compared to a net loss of $16.5
million or $0.35 per share for the full year ended December 31, 2011.
Net losses attributable to BioTime include losses from BioTime majority
owned subsidiaries based upon BioTime's percentage ownership of those
Cash Flow
Net cash used in operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2012 was
$5.0 million compared to $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. For
the full year ended December 31, 2012, net cash used in operating
activities was $19.7 million, compared to $13.6 million for the same
period in 2011. The increased use of cash in 2012 reflects the hiring of
additional staff and the increased cost of research and development
programs in BioTime subsidiaries, including programs expanded through
business acquisitions, and specific transaction related legal and
administrative expenses..
Balance Sheet and Subsequent Financing Events
Cash and cash equivalents, on a consolidated basis, totaled $4.3 million
as of December 31, 2012, compared with $22.2 million as of December 31,
During the fourth quarter of 2012, BioTime raised gross proceeds of $1.1
million from the sale of 314,386 BioTime common shares at an average

Cougar Baseball Signs Nine to NLI
June 24, 2004
PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State University Head Baseball Coach Donnie Marbut today announced the signing of nine players who will join the Cougars in the fall, four out of the junior college ranks and five from Washington area high schools.
The latest list of signees brings to 21 the number of players who have committed to WSU for next fall, including 16 high school players, all from the state of Washington, plus five junior college transfers.
'Our emphasis throughout the recruiting process has been to recruit heavily in the state of Washington and out of Washington high schools,' Marbut said. 'The junior college players we signed have been recruited to fill specific needs next year, but we know several of the incoming freshmen will also play a key role in next year's team.'
WSU's emphasis was also on pitchers, with 13 of the 21 signees standouts on the mound. The recruiting class includes nine right handed hurlers and four who throw from the left side. All nine spring recruits are pitchers, three of them lefties.
Other than pitchers, the Cougar recruiting class consists of eight position players, including two catchers, two outfielders, two infielders and two utility players.
Marbut said in all four WSU recruits were drafted earlier this week in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, including three from the fall signing list and Steve Marquardt from this spring's signees. 'Every indication right now is all four of the players who were drafted will be on campus next fall,' he said. NCAA rules do not allow Marbut to discuss new and updated biographical information on earlier (fall) signees.
WSU returns two outfield starters and three infield starters from last year's team, but none of the starting pitchers return. Four Cougars were taken in the junior baseball draft, junior first baseman Grant Richardson, junior hurler Bryce Chamberlin and senior pitchers Aaron MacKenzie, Garrett Alwert and Aaron Trolia. All four have signed professional contracts.

Integrationalism: Essays on the rationale of abundance
Think Enxit Press, May 13, 2010 - Philosophy - 204 pages
Integrationalism is a philosophical framework that is inspiring new thought on the ideal transition from human creation, to human continuity, and finally to human cultivation, by acknowledging the technological extension that have yielded modern discovery, development, and deployment. Controversial topics encompassing the political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological gamut relay philosophical underpinnings that exploit the fundamental flaws in individualism, natural selection, competition, markets, protectionism, spirituality, absolute idealism, objectivism, and others, while offering an alternative of rational exploration and networked human potential.
What people are saying - Write a review
By far the most interesting read that I've had in a while.The notion that our culture is all wrong for our technology is an ideal that I haven't entertained before, but in Keith's presentation it makes good since and makes me wonder what I can do to start the change to integrationalism.
I had a chance to read the manuscript this past week, and I have to write that the concept of Integrationalism is the most thought provoking set of ideals on human interaction that I've read in my time here. The ideas presented on harnessing the collective brain power of human kind were most interesting. Its true that easy access to education will transform our ability to build synergies across borders and beliefs.

- 2018 Subaru Impreza
- Overview
Save money. Use the U.S. News Best Price Program to find the best local prices on the Impreza.
The 2018 Subaru Impreza ranks in the lower half of the extremely competitive compact car class. The Impreza is spacious and practical, but it has a low predicted reliability rating and doesn't stand out when it comes to performance.
Despite its low ranking, the Subaru Impreza is still a decent car. It comes in either sedan or hatchback body styles, which both have two rows of spacious seats. Cargo room is good in the hatchback but slightly below average in the sedan. The Impreza comes standard with all-wheel drive and an easy-to-use infotainment system. Most other compact cars don't even offer all-wheel drive. Good fuel economy is the pinnacle of the Impreza's performance, but power from its lone engine choice is on the meager side. It's fine for daily driving, but it's undeniably sluggish.
The Impreza is a no-nonsense daily driver, but that comes at the expense of personality. It's hard to recommend this Subaru when many comparably priced (and overall better) compact cars deliver more value. The Honda Civic and the Mazda3 are two highly ranked competitors that have starting prices within a few hundred dollars of the Impreza. Like the Subaru, they offer multiple body styles, but the Civic and Mazda3 both have richer interiors and class-leading performance.
Compare the Impreza, Civic, and Mazda3 »
After a full redesign for the 2017 model year, the Impreza carries over unchanged for 2018. Therefore, you may want to shop for a nearly identical used 2017 Impreza for the chance to save some money. It's possible to save even more by shopping in the previous generation, but you won't get the benefits of the full redesign. A few of these changes include exterior and interior styling updates, improved interior materials, a wider trunk opening, a 4-horsepower bump in engine output, and a revamped infotainment system with a larger touch screen, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay.

A new Subaru Impreza has a retail price that's about average for the class, at $18,495. However, many of the vehicles that cost less than the Impreza are only slightly less expensive, while many of the more expensive cars cost a few thousand more.
There are several higher trim levels, but even the range-topping model – the Limited – has a starting price of only about $24,000. That's less expensive than many rivals' top trims, and it's even less than some competitors' base models.
Check out our U.S. News Best Price Program for great savings at your local Subaru dealer. You can also find excellent manufacturer incentives on our Subaru deals page.
The Honda Civic is a perennial challenger for the top spot in our compact car class rankings. This Honda is more fun to drive than the Subaru, and it gets better gas mileage. The only downside to the Civic's performance is that it doesn't offer all-wheel drive, which is standard in the Subaru. Both models are available as a sedan and hatchback, but the Civic also offers a coupe body style. With a more upscale interior, the Civic is likely a better choice for most buyers.
Overall, the Mazda3 is a better small car than the Impreza. Like most of the brand's other models, the Mazda3 is arguably the most athletic entry in its class. It has dynamic handling and two capable engine choices. The Mazda3 also has a nicer interior than the Impreza and an easier-to-use infotainment system. That's all for a starting price that's a couple hundred dollars lower than the Subaru. Like the Impreza, you can get a Mazda3 as either a sedan or hatchback. The Mazda is the clear winner here.

While some rivals have cramped interiors, the five-seat Impreza has plenty of head- and legroom for adults in both rows. Drivers will appreciate the excellent visibility and the ability to easily find a suitable driving position.
The Impreza has two full sets of LATCH car-seat connectors. Both the upper tether and lower anchors are easy to find and identify.
This Subaru has an attractive interior, but it doesn't feel as upscale as some rivals do. While there are high-quality materials, you'll also find some hard plastics if you look around.
The Impreza sedan's trunk has just over 12 cubic feet of space, which is enough room for a few sets of golf clubs. The hatchback has much more room – nearly 21 cubic feet behind the rear seats (enough room for weekend luggage) and more than 55 cubic feet with them folded (enough space for some small furniture).
Standard features in the Impreza include the StarLink infotainment system with a 6.5-inch touch-screen, Bluetooth audio streaming, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Available features include a moonroof, an eight-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, satellite radio, and an upgraded infotainment system with an 8-inch touch screen, navigation, and Bluetooth phone connectivity.
The infotainment system is user-friendly, and the touch screen is responsive. The screen also has crisp graphics and easy-to-see icons. There are physical controls for some audio and climate functions, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard (they're optional in some competitors).
For more information, read What Is Apple CarPlay? and What Is Android Auto? Then, see the Best Cars With Apple CarPlay and Best Cars With Android Auto.
All Impreza models feature a 152-horsepower four-cylinder engine. Unfortunately, this flat-four engine doesn't move the car with any conviction, whether you're in the sedan or the wagonlike hatchback. It's fine for driving around town, but the acceleration is slow, and most competitors are more energetic or have turbocharged engine options.
The Impreza gets better gas mileage than many class rivals, earning 28 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. That's especially good for an all-wheel-drive car (AWD vehicles generally get worse gas mileage). Each year, you'll spend about as much on gas in an Impreza as you would if you drove a Mazda3 or a Honda Civic.
This Subaru comes standard with all-wheel drive, which is unavailable in nearly every other compact car. The Impreza handles well and has outstanding road grip in good and bad weather. The ride is generally smooth.
The 2018 Subaru Impreza earns a predicted reliability rating of 2.5 out of five from J.D. Power. Many compact cars have better ratings.
Subaru backs the Impreza with a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Most compact cars have similar warranty terms.
The 2018 Subaru Impreza earned a five-star overall crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named it a Top Safety Pick+, its highest distinction.
A rearview camera comes standard in the Impreza. Available active safety features include blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, reverse automatic braking, and Subaru's EyeSight safety system, which includes lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.
The Subaru Impreza comes in four trims and two body styles (sedan and a wagonlike hatchback). All trims feature a four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive. Add $500 to the price for five-door hatchback models.
There isn't much of a price difference between trims, so you should step up to the higher ones, which provide many more features. The top-of-the-line Impreza Limited is the only one to offer navigation, but the Sport trim offers most every other feature you can get in the Impreza, making it a great choice if you can live without a nav system (or just use an app on your phone).
The base model is simply known as the Impreza (or Impreza 2.0i to be precise), and it has a starting price of $18,495. It comes standard with a manual transmission, a rearview camera, and the StarLink infotainment system with a 6.5-inch touch-screen, Bluetooth audio streaming, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. You can add a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) for $1,000.
The Impreza Premium starts at $21,295. In addition to the base trim's features, the Premium comes with a CVT, heated front seats, and a six-speaker audio system. You can add a moonroof for $1,000. A $1,395 option package adds Subaru's EyeSight system, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert.
The Subaru Impreza Sport has a starting price of $22,095. The Sport comes with a five-speed manual transmission, 18-inch alloy wheels, push-button start, and an upgraded StarLink system with an 8-inch touch screen, HD Radio, satellite radio, and Bluetooth phone connectivity.
You can add a CVT for $800, and an option package that includes a moonroof, a Harman Kardon audio system, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert for $2,150.
The Impreza Limited starts at $24,195. The Limited features a CVT, a power-adjustable driver's seat, leather upholstery, and automatic climate control. Two option packages are available.
The first costs $2,495 and adds a moonroof, EyeSight, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert. The second package costs $3,845 and adds all the features of the first package plus a Harman Kardon audio system and an upgraded StarLink system with an 8-inch touch screen and navigation.

The 2018 Subaru Impreza is an all-wheel-drive car that comes in sedan and hatchback body styles. It hits a lot of notes that people want from a family car: It provides a spacious cargo hold, good gas mileage, and user-friendly in-vehicle technology. However, there are some drawbacks with this Subaru (the lackluster engine tops the list), and several cars in the class are just all-around better vehicles.
Don't just take our word for it. Check out comments from some of the reviews that drive our rankings and analysis.

Being a chocolatier, I feel like I ought to write about Mothers Day or about Easter, but this week I am inspired to write about Rhubarb…. yes – Rhubarb!
I just love it. How did I not know this sooner?! I used to enjoy the odd rhubarb crumble but never really thought beyond that. Then a couple of summers ago I discovered pink lemonade – yum yum! Did you know pink lemonade is made with rhubarb?
Anyway, a lovely customer of ours mentioned rhubarb and brought some to us at the last Liverpool Food and Drink Festival (Thanks Johanna!). The idea was to candy it, but unfortunately my candying skills didn't really work so we left it on the back burner (not literally).
I forgot about it for a while and then saw a tweet from Claremont Farm saying fresh Rhubarb in stock. So when I went in to deliver some chocs last week I picked up some Rhubarb.
It looks quite innocent, but I think the leaves are poisonous?
I candied it successfully this time – Hurrah!! – then proceeded to use it in our chocolate.
If you would like to have a go at candying Rhubarb (and I really would urge you to – it's so brilliant) – here's how:
6 stalks of Rhubarb
225g Caster Sugar (Plus 25g extra for later)
3 tablespoons of water
- Preheat oven to about 120 degrees C / Gas mark 1
- Chop the rhubarb into thin strips of about 6 inches or so (I got bored with doing them the same size and played around a bit, but it is better to have them all about the same size – they will then dry out evenly)
- Place the sugar and water in a pan and heat .
- Gently stir until all of the sugar has dissolved
- Take the pan off the heat and throw in the rhubarb – give it a mix so that all of the rhubarb is coated in the sugar syrup.
- Leave for half hour. (In this time you could be preparing your parchment paper on the baking trays … or having a cup of tea)
- Take the rhubarb out and place onto baking trays lined with parchment paper. Make sure none of the pieces are touching each other.
- You will be left with liquid that is a mixture of sugar syrup and rhubarb. It tastes delicious. Not sure what to do with the rhubarb syrup yet – seems a shame to bin it – so let me know if you come up with an idea!
- Place trays in oven for an hour and then check – if the rhubarb isn't as dry as you want it leave for another 10 mins – remove rhubarb and place in the caster sugar that you had saved
- Once cooled, place in an airtight container.
Hope this works for you – let me know how you get on!
PS – we have got easter eggs and mothers day treats for sale at our pop up shop in 12 Princes Parade on Friday 28th March as well as our online shop!

Chocolate and Flowers … The perfect match?
We have had an absolutely crazy week – we started off on Monday with a lovely Chocolate and Wine pairing event with the lovely Sam from Chester Beer and Wine. We love collaborating with Sam and are planning a few more pairings … watch this space!
On Thursday, we went to the launch party of the Good Taste Magazine – what a lovely evening and what a brilliant Magazine – perfect for any foodie. We wish Jade and her team all the very best with the Magazine.
On Saturday we were so very happy to be part of the Ness Gardens Garden Party – celebrating 70 years of Gardeners Question Time. As you may be able to tell from our logo, flowers and gardening are a big hobby of ours. So, imagine being asked to be part of this fabulous event!!
For our demo we chose to combine chocolate and flowers. The flowers were from Mrs B's edible flowers in St Helens. We first spotted Lisa's flowers on the Low Down Liverpool and got rather excited about trying to match chocolate and flowers together. Lisa is so very passionate about her flowers and the care and attention she gives to these flowers is visible all around her flower farm. We had a lovely time discussing flavours and ideas and came up with a selection of truffles.
Thank you to all who came to watch our demo and as promised – here is the recipe:
– 40g rosehips – topped, tailed and chopped
– 120ml of double cream
– 150g milk chocolate
– rose petals to decorate
We chose to use Mrs B's Rosehips, however if this is not feasible for you and you are planning to gather your own, please be careful. Ensure that they have not been sprayed with any nasty chemicals and also ensure that they are not picked from a busy roadside where there is a lot of traffic.
Look for plump, firm rosehips – make sure they haven't dried up.
- Heat the rosehips and the cream together until scalding hot
- Leave the mixture for at least 6 hours in a fridge (ideally overnight)
- Warm up the rosehip infusion and then strain off all of the rosehips – so that you are left with orange looking cream
- Leave to cool
- Melt the chocolate
- Add to the infused cream mixture and slowly tease the cream into the mixture
- Pour the ganache into a tray and leave to cool overnight
- Chop into bitsize squares and decorate with rose petals – using a little bit of molten chocolate to stick the rose petals on.
- Enjoy!!

Some of the best times of my life was spent at this College. The tutors are really fun and engaging, while giving you space to think critically about your challenges, whilst removing the fluff when it came to hitting course criteria. They assisted me a lot in preparing for University with additional classes that I needed for entry exams. Overall an awesome college and feel very privileged to have been able to attend.
Good college.... But not enough spinny chairs!

The car park I'm reviewing is not listed in your choices it's Hayle hospital in Cornwall, your machine had developed a fault and Peter your attendant offered to get people's ticket from an alternative machine to save them from walking that distance, he was so respectful, and concerned for everyone effected and apologies given to each customer on behalf of your company. What a great employee, a reward for such levels of care would be justified in my opinion, as I waited for my charge to return from treatment I observed his dedication over several hours. Once again his name was Peter, with the machine repaired he went off to carry out his duties elsewhere. A lasting impression of quality remains with me. Thanks.
Easy to park
Treliske, Truro TR1 3LQ, UK – 01872 250000
Unfortunately I ended up in hospital whilst on holiday. The care I received went above and beyond and I can't commend the staff enough. I felt really cared for and am grateful for it. Thanks guys!
I have recently moved to Cornwall and have visited this hospital twice. Once to A&E and once to Outpatients. Both visits were first class. The hospital was extremely clean, staff were friendly and helpful, and the treatment received couldn't have been better. Also on both occasions I was able to park my car without additional stress and hastle!

Q: We make table tops and dresser tops among other items. What is the reasonable percentage of pieces of lumber that could or should be over 7.5 percent MC if we order lumber '6.0 percent to 7.5 percent MC'? Can we reject the load if there are 5 percent over the limit?
A: There are really two issues here. First, we need to examine the problems you might have if you use lumber that is over 7.5 percent MC. Because your product is a large, flat piece, we can expect to see a significant problem with wetter pieces. One wet piece might end up in four or five table tops. If one of the tops misbehaves, I don't have to tell you that the repair is costly. So, I suggest that you would be wise to measure the MC of the incoming lumber - every piece - using an in-line moisture meter. The cost of $10,000 or so will be paid back in short order, especially if you buy KD lumber instead of drying it yourself. (One plant here in Wisconsin went from 1,000 rejects in the winter down to 3 when they eliminated wet lumber with an in-line meter.)
The second point involves the purchase of lumber. Are there many kiln drying operations that can guarantee the MC of the lumber they provide to you? I have yet to see a supplier run an ad that will give you 1,000 BF of lumber free if they include any wet (over 7.5 percent MC) lumber with their order. Why won't they do this? Is it because the risk is too high? In other words, are they passing on the risk of wet lumber to you? Are they asking you to assume the risk instead? (I know one manufacturer of kiln dried lumber that does check its MC "with a fine tooth comb" because they found out it was financially beneficial for their customers to do so. I think more will be doing so in the next few years.)
If you do get an in-line meter, then you just return the "wet" pieces to your supplier and get a credit. They should be willing to do that, because I am sure that they told you that they don't have any wet lumber in the first place. So, what you are returning is lumber that is okay; you just measured the MC wrong. But maybe you should take this returned lumber and write my phone number on it - the next purchaser of that wood is going to need some help-big time!
In case you are into SPC (Statistical Process Control), you might argue that you could just sample the MC of incoming lumber. It is true that from 30 random measurements we can estimate the MC and the spread of MC quite accurately. But the in-line meter does more than that; it actually tells you which pieces you need to eliminate. Once the wets are gone, then your average MC will be lower and variation of MC less - this means higher quality!

The main advantages of an electric fireplace are that it is movable and can be used in almost any room having an electrical socket. Moreover, they might be used in locations that have no access to natural gas. One of several problems with the electric design are the ongoing bills. Electricity costs are a lot more than gas, and those people who were reading the high-cost of conditioning their houses in the summer generally rely on saving money throughout the fall months and winter months. Since electrical fire places don't produce a large amount of heat, it may be hard to justify the excess expense. In addition , a lot of people think that a power flame lacks the appearance of a true fire and for that reason they look fraudulent.

This is a fork of Syncthing that brings major enhancements like:
- Individual sync conditions can be applied per device and per folder
- Recent changes UI, click to open files.
- "Battery eater" problem is fixed.
- Android 8 and 9 support.
Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, if it is shared with some third party and how it's transmitted over the Internet. Syncthing-Fork for Android is a wrapper for Syncthing that provides an Android UI instead of Syncthing's built-in Web UI. Goals of the fork:
- Develop and try out enhancements together with the community.
- Release the wrapper more frequently to identify and fix bugs caused by changes in the syncthing submodule
- Make enhancements configurable in the UI, users should be able to turn them on and off
Comparison between upstream and fork at the time of writing this:
- Both contain the syncthing binary built from the official source at GitHub:syncthing/syncthing
