Looking at the four teams from yesterday's post, here's how those potential playoff teams in the NL have pitched against the Phils this season:
|Record vs. PHI
St Louis was one of two teams in baseball with a winning record against the Phils going into last night's game, winning six of the nine games the teams played (including three of four in the series that ended on Monday). Seattle was the other team and they went 2-1. Washington is 9-8 against the Phils after beating them last night.
The 2.96 ERA that St Louis pitchers threw to against the Phils is the best mark for any NL team. The Cards took three of four from the Phils in the recent series and the Phils won two of three against the Cards in St Louis in mid-June. May 16 and 17 the Phils played a two-game set in St Louis and lost both games as St Louis starters Jamie Garcia and Jake Westbrook held the Phils to two runs (one unearned) over 15 innings.
The Diamondbacks notable whiffed the Phils at a high rate, striking out 52 Phillie hitters in 52 innings. Ian Kennedy (14 strikeouts in 12 innings against the Phils over two starts) did a lot of the damage there. Joe Saunders struck out 11 Phillies in 11 2/3 innings in his two starts, despite allowing 11 runs in those 11 2/3 frames. Josh Collmenter struck out nine in 7 2/3 innings over two appearances and Daniel Hudson fanned six in six frames in his one start.
Last night the Phils lost 7-5 to the Washington Nationals to fall to 98-57 on the year. They have lost five in a row and six of seven.
It's the first time this season the Phillies have lost five games in a row.
Worley gave up a two-run homer to Wil Ramos in the top of the second to put Washington up 2-0. They Phils came back in the bottom of the inning, scoring two runs on five singles to tie the game at 2-2. In the bottom of the third, Mayberry singled with two outs, stole second and took third on a throwing error by Ramos before scoring on single by Ibanez to put the Phils up 3-2. Danny Espinosa hit a two-run shot off of Worley in the sixth to put Washington back up at 4-3. Justin De Fratus started the eighth for the Phillies and hit the first batter he faced and walked the next one before Bastardo took over. Bastardo made a throwing error and allowed two singles before getting out of the frame. Washington plated three runs to extend their lead to 7-3. Mayberry followed a leadoff walk by Utley with a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to make it 7-5.
Not a good start for Worley, who allowed four runs over six innings. He has thrown to a 4.23 ERA over his last eight starts. Like Hamels, Worley's home run rate has skyrocketed late in the season. Over his first 12 appearances for the year, Worley threw 62 1/3 innings and allowed just two home runs (0.29 HR per nine). Over his last 11 appearances, he's thrown 66 2/3 innings and allowed eight (1.08 per nine).
Blanton threw a scoreless inning in the game. In three relief appearances since returning he has allowed a run on three hits and no walks over three innings while striking out four.
Schwimer threw a scoreless inning as well, dropping his ERA on the year to 6.35.
Bastardo faced six hitters. One reached on an error, two singled and he got three outs. Over his last six appearances, he's thrown 3 1/3 innings and allowed six runs on six hits and five walks (16.20 ERA with a 3.30 ratio and opponents have hit 400/524/667 against him).
Mayberry was 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in the game. He's hitting 307/350/614 since the All-Star break. 302/366/543 at home for the season compared to 248/308/512 on the road.
Francisco was 3-for-4 with three singles. He has started seven games in September and hit 400/400/400 (10-for-25 with ten singles and no walks).
Ibanez had two singles, going 2-for-4 with an RBI. He came into the game 2-for-his-last-22.
At the top of the order, Rollins, Victorino, Polanco and Utley combined to go 0-for-16 with two walks.
Roy Oswalt (8-9, 3.66) faces righty Brad Peacock (1-0, 1.42) tonight.

Great Expectations For 2010 Yields
With planting time approaching and cotton acres projected to be up this year, we asked our readers what they expect the most from the 2010 varieties. Higher yields? Better quality characteristics? Technology traits? Attrac-tiveness to export customers?
Not surprisingly, after the votes were tallied, a whopping 71 percent of the respondents say they are looking for higher yields. Nothing pleases a cotton farmer more than looking down the turnrow and seeing module after module after module.
And the seed companies strive to accommodate the producers by breeding and offering higher-yielding cotton lines in order to give them what they want the most.
The high percentage of votes for higher yields does not mean that the other choices are not important, too, but the question only asked for the No. 1 expectation for 2010.
Following is a pretty straightforward comment about yields from one of our readers who voted in the Web Poll:
• "Without high yields, none of the other answers even matter. Under the current WTO situation, our government has thrown the American farmer 'to the wolves,' so our yields have to be high just to stay in business."
This month's subject is about crop insurance. The results of the April Web Poll question will be reported in the Cotton Farming June issue.
Web Poll Results
In February, we asked: As planting time nears and cotton acres are up, what is your greatest expectation from the 2010 varieties?
• Higher yields — 71 %
• Better quality characteristics — 8 %
• Technology traits — 19 %
• Attractive to export customers — 2 %
April Web Poll Question
Given the adverse weather conditions that many areas experienced last year, did you opt for buy-up crop insurance for 2010 or just stay with the required CAT? Please share your thoughts in the "Comments" section.
(1) Opted for buy-up
(2) Stayed with required CAT

Justin Bieber 's pal Lil Za has reportedly been charged in connection with his arrest at the Bieb's home last month.
TMZ reports Lil Za was charged with two counts of felony possession of a controlled substance, ecstasy and oxycodone. He also faces a charge of breaking a jail phone as he was being booked. All three charges are felonies.
Lil Za was arrested while police officers were searching Justin's Calabasas, California, home in the wake of his alleged egg-tossing incident.
If convicted of all charges, Lil Za faces up to nine years behind bars.

What's your story?
Unlike a typical "question-answer" forum, I am deeply interested in learning the stories of people from around the world. There's no "right" or "wrong," just a space for sharing what makes you, you!
TED and TEDx speakers are given a literal stage for sharing their story, their passion. But what about YOUR story? And YOUR passion? Every single person - an official TED-talker or not! - deserves a platform for sharing their story.
Ever since I can remember, my parents have always said "You ask too many questions!" because I've always been a curious person (and especially a curious child - I bet my parents didn't think they would have to answer so many questions about, well, everything!). As an adult, that curiosity has turned into a fascination with learning about why we are the way we are, and how we get to where we are right now.
"What's your passion?" is actually a pretty loaded question. Because within it is history, hope, pain, experience, knowledge, and the list goes on. But by starting to ask ourselves what defines our "story" and our "passion," I truly believe that this is where our hope for a better future begins.
Maybe you're still figuring out what your passion is, or what it means for your own life. That's ok! I believe that by starting the dialogue about our story, the themes of passion unfold by looking in retrospect over our lives.
So, what's your passion? Where does your story start? And where is it now?
I'm excited to read your responses!

Aug 9 2013: My story would take days to write, but I found out that I cannot understand my story without understanding my fathers' story. My father was a first born child and his mother died giving birth to him. His father resented him for this and put him in an orphanage. His father then got married and his new wife took my father to raise. The stepmother was mentally ill and was eventually committed to a psychiatric hospital for the rest of her life. So this is who my father was...a man with a father that hated him from the day he was born and a mentally ill step mom. This is my story before I was here.
Aug 13 2013: Amy, how insightful! It is really remarkable that you understand that your story begins generations before it physically started with your own life. Understanding these pieces is so crucial in overcoming the muddle we sometimes must overcome in order to move forward with a passionate and fulfilling life. We are each intrinsically tied to those who came before us; but also, our own selves in our own rights. So remember that while your story is best understood in the context of other stories, YOUR story is still yours to write!
Aug 13 2013: Rachel, Thanks for understanding where I was going with this comment. Yes, my life is my own, finally. For the first thirty years of it I was tormented, abused beaten and intimidated by this man, but then it stopped - because he died. I held my anger for ten years until I realized that it was only hurting me. Then I went to his grave, sat on the ground and told him I forgave him. I told him that I realized that he was who he was because of what happened to him. Then I left and the anger stopped. Finally I was able to live my life without that pain and I did - starting with examining who I was and how I got that way. There is a TED speaker by the name of Brene Brown who put it so clearly when she said "Your parents cannot give you what they do not have." My father had no ability to love, no patience, no self worth no confidence no rationality because his parents did not give it to him. They just did not have it. This truly did help me move forward. I now realize that we all are who we are because of what we have been through - kind of like that saying "children learn what they live". While that is true, I also believe that we have the ability to change the pattern. My marriage is loving, my home is calm and peaceful and I tell my son I love him and I am so proud of him every time we talk It may be difficult, but with all my heart I believe that people can change the pattern of what they grew up with and chose their own path.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Large companies should disclose how much tax they pay in each country where they operate, the European Commission's top regulatory official said, in the text of a speech to be delivered on Thursday.
Michel Barnier, the European commissioner in charge of drafting business regulation, said large banks will already be obliged to disclose their profits, taxes and subsidies in each member state and in the non-EU countries where they operate.
"We will expand these reporting obligations to large companies and groups," he said in a speech to be delivered at a conference in Amsterdam.
The move follows a report by the U.S. Senate earlier this week that Apple Inc
A change to EU law could come by amending an existing proposal on non-financial reporting, said one EU official. That would make it possible to introduce the rules by 2015, after the conclusion of negotiations between member states and the European Parliament to finalize any new legislation.

December 12, 2012, 8:51 AM — Software-defined networking (SDN) has the potential to transform the telecom industry by improving the ability of carriers (both wired and wireless) to flexibly deliver bandwidth "on demand." It is critical that carriers improve both their network flexibility (improved customer value) and reduce their high operational costs as over-the-top providers (e.g., Google, Amazon, Skype, etc.) challenge the carriers' ability to grow their revenues and impact their margins.
SDN (and OpenFlow) technology is clearly impacting the data center network, including data centers in large carriers (e.g., AT&T, SingTel, Telefonica, etc.). In the enterprise, SDN is defined as follows:
- Separation of control and data plane -- e.g., the intelligence of the switch/router is split out from the packet forwarding engine.
- Programmability. The ability to centrally change traffic flows, partition the networks and provide application-level QoS.
TECH ARGUMENT: Cisco, VMware and OpenFlow fragment SDNs
In the $100 billion-plus telecom infrastructure market, the way to define SDN is less clear. Technology infrastructure spans Layer 0-7 of the OSI stack and consists of a number of unique market segments, including optical networks, carrier-grade routers, wireless edge, wireless core, CPE, etc., and the transport network must be tied to a complex set of operational support and billing (OSS/BSS) tools to manage the network and bill the customer.
The promise of SDN for the telecom industry is significant improvements in the manageability and flexibility of the network. This promise includes automated traffic management, improved bandwidth engineering, and the ability to tailor the network "on demand" to customer needs. Today the large carriers are unable to offer customers truly flexible data networks, where customers can pay for only the bandwidth they use and automatically burst traffic as applications require. And it is this bandwidth flexibility that could give carriers the edge they need to successfully deliver a range of cloud-based services.

The game has come a long way since it started. But to not look back and miss some of the things that were in vanilla and BC that have gone means you either barely played the game (being casual) or you never played the game at all back then.
That's not to say one is better then the other but it's a completely different game then it was at the start. You might as well Call Wrath Wow 2 if you set them side by side.
Sure there were problems then just as new problems are now. But nothing beat walking in and toppling massive monsters that genuinely increased in difficulty and ingenuity of Vanilla wow. Sure we've grown as players but the fights so far in Wrath have been nothing short of uninspiring.
Hopefully Ulduar fixes this and makes some genuinely fun boss fights but something tells me that it won't happen to the scale it was before. Things can't be complicated or require precision or skill to beat unless their optional since most people can't kill them.
So yes the people who joined this game, got addicted to this game as raiders from the beginning look back with fond memories of the launch of BWL, AQ40, and Naxx and the fights that pushed players to do it better then they did before in genuinely new ways.
Am i going to stop playing the game? Quite possibly if ulduar can't spark the joy that raiding once did. Am i mad at blizzard for pushing me away from the game, no but i'm a little sad by it. You cater the game to the people playing it and that's the way it is.

DETROIT — General Motors is giving its big pickups a much-needed makeover. It unveiled new versions of the top-selling Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra on Thursday and aims to get them to showrooms by early summer.
Truck sales are rising after a five-year slump. And the new pickups replace models last revamped in 2007. That means GM dealers are offering pickups that are dated compared with newer Fords and Rams, hurting sales.

As 2011 draws to a close, what is your personal takeaway this year? What did life teach you in 2011?
Happy New Year...or New Day, whichever suits you TED friends. Thank you for a wonderful year of getting to know you. I look forward to each day with the TED community. You have taught me many profound and meaningful lessons this year.
Will you share what stands out for you?
Perhaps it's new knowledge, personal awakenings, aha moments, lessons from suffering and pain, or elation and joy. Whatever it was, teach us...won't you?

Jan 3 2012: What if we do not label it "good" or "bad"? I believe that creates more opportunities for our mind and heart. For example, I did not label a near fatal head/brain injury good, and I cannot deny the incredible life lessons I learn from the experience. The head injury is simply a head injury...neither good or bad. The lessons I learned by not judging the situation were priceless and unlimited. As you insightfully say Linda, it is our experience "it is fully our experience to do with what we choose...well said:>)

Michele's Dining Lounge a very pretty, very elegant restaurant just like its namesake Michele Bonarigo. Michele's is one of the new players to hit the Fort Lauderdale dining scene within the past two months. Ms. Bonarigo, wife, mother of two and successful entrepreneur is a hands-on owner who warmingly greats guests at the door welcoming them into her second home where she also conceptualized the design and décor of her restaurant. Aesthetic beauty aside, Ms. Bonarigo also collaborates in tandem with her Executive Chef, Farid Oualidi (formerly of Trina at the Atlantic Hotel) in creating and testing menu items.
A group of us were invited to have lunch at Michele's last week. The menu is American classic with a contemporary spin offering items such as Grilled Caesar Salad, Foie Gras with housemade blackberry sauce, Harissa-style sautéed Mussels and Pan Seared Branzino infused with Mediterranean flavors. The wine list is predominantly California with nice choices of French and Italian wines. (click photos for an enlarged view)
Grilled Caesar Salad
Foie Gras atop toasted brioche with blackberry sauce
Harissa Mussels
Pan seared Branzino
kalamata olives, teardrop tomatoes, capers served with a polenta gateau
Filet Mignon
grilled portobella, sauteed asparagus topped with creamy bleu cheese sauce
Michele's serves dinner Tuesday-Sunday evenings with plans to open for lunch within the month. There is an intimate private dining room that seats 16 guests as well as the main dining room complete with supper club booths reminiscent of the golden era of Hollywood glamour. I do believe if you let yourself be transported just for a moment you quite possibly may feel the presence of Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner or the entire Rat Pack as the nightly live music at Michele's brings back the jazzy supper club era to Fort Lauderdale.
Happy Hour is Tuesday – Sunday nights from 5 to 7 pm offering half price cocktails and a $5 Bar Bites Menu. This is an affordable and relaxed way to get introduced to Michele's. I went back Friday night for Happy Hour to immerse myself in the "Golden Era" complete with sipping vodka martinis. While I cannot say I was doing my best Ava Gardner channeling I can say that there was not a seat to be had in the lounge, the crooner at the keyboard was melodically wooing the crowd and Michele's is exactly what they say it is, the upscale neighborhood restaurant; jacket and tie are not required but it was amazing to see how many people were coiffed to the nines, something that you really don't see much of anymore. I'm wondering if Michele's isn't single handedly bringing back the beauty and excitement of going out to dinner once again…..
Michele's Dining Lounge is located at 2761 East Oakland Park Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, on the NW corner at Bayview Drive. 954-533-1919

If disaster struck are you prepared?
Where do we stand? Are we prepared for whatever disaster arises?
Brit Elders
CEO - ShirleyMacLaine.com
And I think we should discuss what preparedness means
Brit Elders
CEO - ShirleyMacLaine.com
Not sure what prepared means
Hi Brit,
I am not sure what prepared means. If there was some reason we couldn't use our cars I have enough food in the house to last several months. If we don't have electricity then it would be a couple of months less food because of spoilage. If we have to do without water I don't know how I would deal with that. I have the means to heat the house for about a month with the firewood stacked and could cook on top of the Lopi (a castiron stove insert in the fireplace.) Plenty of batteries for flashligts and radio for a while. We have enough space to garden to keep ourselves.
If it means leaving the house I don't have any plans at all. If there was a national disaster and we could cross over into Canada we have a house there big enough for the family.
I don't know exactly what we are planning for. I live so close to Lake Erie that if someone like Gordon Michael Scallion is right I won't have to think about it. I'll be under water!
Just Joyfully Participating
~You cannot be happy unless you are serving the truth of your being, however that service looks.~
- Gangaji
I don't have anything stashed away, or put aside.
All I have is myself.
After what I have seen, I am prepared.
It is not the Earth Quake or other disaster I fear.
It is the number of people who will be displaced, among which the dregs of society will prey upon the weak.
I See Them Daily.
I am going to open myself up for rebuttal here.
I see, and experience, and am in the presence of despirate predatory beings. Drug addicts and alcoholics, gang bangers, thieves, and other criminals who when practicing have no compassion for anything, and not even themselves!
Living Human Garbage who have no purpose but to take up space on the face of the Earth, and want! Living to make themselves feel by inflicting pain upon others.
This is the world that exists outside suburbia, the inner city world. The bottom strata of society. That place no one wants to admit exists. Those people that is safer to remain in denial of.
Those of you blessed and privileged with a beautiful home, and all it's accoutrements therein and out.....
Think of the other end of the spectrum. The other side of the coin. The opposite place. The Yin opposing Yang.
I could be nicey nicey here.
The only reason have been able to survive in the places I have been is that I am a soldier, and no one will mess with me.
This is why this Earth Changes thing is so important to me.
When the Earth is displaced, so are the people. New Orleans was just a little preview. What I saw happening here where I now reside involved what people do to, and for each other.
When that Tsunami hit it was the end of the world.
When Katrina hit it was the end of the world.
It does not take much to end the world. Just a little nudge away from normal daily routine, and things get difficult.
We live in a universe of ordered chaos. Things are slated to happen, because God wants to see how we act and re-act.
Gurdjieff called this "The Terror of the Situation".
Ostrich may stick their head in the ground.....
People keep their head elsewhere.
The best part of this is people are going to rise to the occasion. The Good and Best in people will emerge, to counter the negative aspects out there.
People will come together to help each other despite adversity. Adversity will cause those who are of different customs and culture to put their differences aside and help each other, accept each other, and heal each other.
This is where from the End of the World comes a new beginning.
This is where I am going to be, and that's why I am here.
Love, Michael, The Valkyrie
For me, personally, I have been preparing but am not there yet for anything long term.
I have stored plastic containers of water that I rotate from time to time..but would like to add to the supply.
I have a supply of blankets, tarps that I have gathered.
First aid kit for us and our furbabies. I also have created tinctures of some healing herbs...I have a large batch of Usnea brewing...antibotic properties. A little researching of edible plants~weeds like chickweed. Very nutricious.
Also have some various candles, flashlights, batteries, kerosene laterns and lights...camping equipment if we need.
Collecting non parishable foods, which I also tend to rotate...but I need to add to that supply as well...during Shirley's show I heard 1 month mentioned...not there yet. I think I have about a week actually more like 2.
One thing I want to tackle but haven't yet, is heat in our home. Living in the moutains, heat is an important issue. Years ago we installed a pellet burning stove but if we lost power it would do no good. I have wanted to remove it and go back to a fireplace/woodburning stove...but hubby is resistant.
We are blessed to live in a small town/rural area. We are close to moving water and can live very closely to the land if necessary. But I also realize our situation is different from many.
And for us personally, if we faced the scenario of Yellowstone blowing...basically I think it would be a matter of being prepared emotionally and spiritually to just return Home. And actually, if that is what I have chosen on some deeper level...I am prepared for that too.
Key is not living in fear. But in all honesty, if Yellowstone was going...I think I am grateful for living so close to "ground zero".
It's all about the Joy you know

This is kind of a big question. If an earthquake shook and I had no where to go I think I know what to gather and do to survive for a while. I don't have a bin of food stashed in any one spot but could put one together in a pretty big hurry. I live in an area which is peat bog that they claim will experience liquafaction. Luckily we store our boat beside the house and have a first aid kit on it. We probably should stick some water & food on it too. Again its a matter of if there is enough time to gather things. If something happened so suddenly I don't think it would matter what you had prepared.
xo Froggie
We are just beginning on this aspect of our little adventure. It has taken an enormous amount of work just to get here.
First, we had to sell our big mammoth house. Even with a woodburner/water heater outside and a fireplace inside, costed us big bucks to heat, cool and provide electricity for every year. Not to mention mortgage, insurance and upkeep.
At the sale of our home, we liquidated 60-75% of our "stuff" and were moving to NM to buy an earthship, when my 16 year old announced he was in love.
Switch plans, stay in Indiana..'listen to Spirit'.
Now we are renting a little house and meanwhile fixing up my mom's house so we can all live together. Even if the world does not come to some catastrophe, we have to be able to economically survive. Since the family business and my mom and dad's marriage went down the tubes, well...we are back to poor folk. Which is ok with me.
Then I had to tell the family what I was thinking without A) sounding more crazy than I already do B) scaring them C) being laughed at like I was at Y2K. Ahh...memories.
I am thinking so many things, but I truly believe I am not going to be alive in the body very long. However, I am trying to get my family in a place where they are ok.
Would love suggestions. We don't have the money to build a dome home (which is so cool) or do anything really like put in a fireplace or woodburner. I am stocking up on water and non-perishables.
I have read Zeta talk for a long time. I used to work at B&N and constantly was looking at things like Tom Brown and survivalist info. We know a lot of people that are good hunters, natural conservationists, self-sufficient farmers, eco-technologists and the like...but if it came down to it, we would be in very poor shape.
Since we have opened the topic I am doing more research....ha ha.
What Would I Do
That is a good question, and one I have considered. Living in northern Minnesota there is plenty of fresh water everywhere. However, I believe this whole area will be flooded and transport would be via boat. I live alone with 2 dogs and have supplies for a month and water stashed. Good neighbors close, and the ability to grow food if necessary. Truthfully, am not sure where I should be when all this occurs. Have been pursuing a different teaching job in santa fe with an interview over the phone set for tomorrow at 3. This willl be interesting.....
Being prepared, however, I think having considered it emotionally, first is important. I also understand what Osiris is saying about the mass exodus from citites. Most folks here are heavily armed - and very territorial. I dont' know - really - what will happen. I believe the good in all of us will come through, but in the long run, and I mean the very long run - these are questions I have had - my prayer is for peace and cooperation and goodwill - sharing and helping - all the best things for everyone.
I don't know - and I am glad we are talking about this - thank you for opening this up for sharing - I have written only about thoughts of my own and some ideas -
Prepared? I guess I'm not quite there to my satisfaction yet but definately working on it. We've been working on it for a long time now.
When we built this place we did so with both Earth friendliness and Earth Changes in mind. The two concepts simply flowed together the more we studied and learned. There was and is no fear involved with it. What served us in getting off the grid and Earth friendly would also serve us in the event of Earth changes.
We've been off the grid from the beginning so we aren't dependant on outside sources of water or electricity. Since we are our own electric company we have lots of flashlights...LOL We have a wood burner for heat. We are working on creating a system to catch run off rain water for my garden but it has to rain for that to do any good...LOL I have an oil lamp collection and always keep plenty of oil on hand partly because I love the glow the lamps put out but it also serves as an added means of light if need be.
We keep about 4-6 months of food in storage and simply rotate it. I am a bit low right now but will be starting to re-stock the next trip to town. I just pick up a few extra non-perishable items each shopping trip. We live far enough away from town that this serves as a supply when ever we get snowed in for a while as well. We have emergency kits on hand and lots of camping gear too. We used to love going camping.
We will have chicks again as of the 12th of this month. We ordered them last Feb. and now I'm glad we did We had a flock for many years but had given away the last of them a few years ago. We know it's now time to start fresh with a new flock.
Interestingly enough we ended up with neighbors who also tend to keep things on hand, who garden and who are wonderful about working together on things. Each of these wonderful neighbors has one particular interest or specialty. One even has a hydroponic garden. Another is a doctor. Another one runs her place on solar energy and is a wellspring of knowledge when it comes to herbs and alternatives so between us we could help eachother if needed. As for transportation, nearly everyone in these parts has some 4-legged transportation if no gasoline were available (a horse) but it would be one heck of a long trip to town!
I do realize that this is not the case in a lot of places. It just happens to be the case here and I do know how blessed we are. There are a lot of simple, common sense measures anyone can take where ever they live.
I watched a movie the other night and one particular phrase was repeated over and over. It went something like this:
"How did the man stranded in the mountains die?
He died of shame. He died of shame because he didn't THINK.
In other words, he was surounded by food, water and shelter if he had only used his ability to "think". What a shameful way to die."
I look at the possibility of Earth Changes at so many different levels. The side this post reflects is what you might call the practical side. There is also the spiritual side, I am also learning about the quantum side and actually doing my own little experiments with that. Learning how to hop from dimension to dimension and reality to reality I guess you could say. I don't have to understand the math, only the concepts.
I also see the possibilities for people to discover the very best they can be and how to Love themselves and one another. If one or both of us decide we don't wish to go through this time of change it's ok. This place will come in handy for someone, perhaps some of our kids.
Wow! I didn't mean to write a book...sorry 'bout that.
An after-thought: You know the one neighbor who put out poison for the coyotes...his beef might start looking pretty tasty!...
The real trick to life is not to be in the know
but to be in the mystery...from "What The Bleep"

When it comes to school day fashion and beauty, it's either
simple or simply not happening. Here are a few of my favorite ways
to keep looking great as effortless as possible.
Basics gone wild
Give your denim shirt some extra credit this year.
Remember, simple doesn't have to mean boring. This fall it's all
about bold prints both big and small, and creating lovely,
unexpected playdates between them. Here are two complete looks from
Target that start with a simple denim shirt and end with a
Mossimo Supply Co. core button-down shirt in chambray,
Facing the Day
If you've given up on makeup due to the morning rush, there's a
new kit in town that might just change all that. I recently
discovered and fell in love with MAKE UP FOR EVER, a fabulous
makeup line by beauty superstore, Sephora. This starter kit
contains all you need to create a flawless complexion-in three
steps. Includes a primer to prep your skin, a stunning foundation,
and the most amazing finishing power I've ever tried. At the very
least, you'll look like you have perfect "just woke up" skin.
HD Complexion Starter Kit $79, Sephora
Here is one more of my favorites from the MAKE UP FOR EVER
line. It makes applying eye shadow a snap, comes in 12 beautiful
colors and stays on all dang day.
Aqua shadow, $20, Sephora
Cake style
The new school year means loads of parental functions from
curriculum night and meet-your-class mixers to annual school
benefits. And it's always a question of what to wear.
Enter CakeStyle.com. This at-home personal shopper site
makes putting outfits together and looking sharp a snap. Your
personal stylist creates several "looks" based on your needs, ships
them to you in a pretty box and you get to keep what you like.
There's also a how-to video with each look, and shipping both ways
is free. Now looking chic truly is as easy as cake.
The average price for a dress is $250-$400, jeans
$150-$200 and blouses $75-$300. cakestyle.com
Bed head
There is many a school morning when you just can't manage
to shower and wash your hair. Let me introduce you to your mane's
new BFF, Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo.
Simply spray it on your roots in sections, work it in a bit with
your fingers, and you're ready to style. I love the whole NYM line
and it's sold exclusively at CVS, so it's easy on the debit
Watch your tone
Another one of my favorite drugstore beauty secrets is
Salma Hayak's Nuance line. I particularly love the Detoxifying
Cleansing and Toning Towelettes-they quickly clean and tone your
skin and ready it for the day ahead. They're also great to keep in
the car for a midday freshen-up, and it's perfect for

Update November 14, 2013: We're currently doing a "pause" in new applications; please stay tuned here (or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to be added to our dist list) and we'll share updates with you soon!
Are you an entrepreneur committed to building new web technologies that align with Mozilla's values to support openness, innovation and opportunity on the Web?
Today we've opened up applications for the next WebFWD Cohort! You can do this on our website or on our AngelList page.
The next cohort format will be a slightly shorter 3-month schedule to incorporate some learnings from the current cohort in the spirit of continuous improvement. High-level timeframes are:
We look forward to reading your application!
The WebFWD Team
As we prepare for our upcoming graduation in a few weeks (which will be live-streamed — RSVP here!), we're also actively recruiting our next class. And today we're pleased to announce that startups around the world cannot only apply on our site, but also right on AngelList.
If you're not already on AngelList - and have any remote interest in startups - it's time to change that. The site was started just 3 years ago by Babak Nivi and Naval Ravikant, the guys behind startup resource VentureHacks. It's evolved into a funding, recruiting and overall-connecting platform for startups, investors, service providers, accelerators, incubators and more. Their platform is pushing traditional investors to the edge of innovation; for example, they recently launched an online investing tool and are keeping VCs, angels and the investment ecosystem on its toes. In addition, Naval will be joining a panel of investors coaching our startups the day before Demo Day.
We're super thankful for our partnership with AngelList and the introduction to them from the awesome peeps at Hackers & Founders. With friends like ours, we count ourselves lucky to get some great stuff done for our teams.
It's been an exciting time to launch an accelerator, given the amount of change, resources and investment available to startups. But Mozilla's DNA is a little bit different (and always has been). Rather than shooting for the greatest ROI or financial gain, we are driven by one thing: keeping the web open and accessible. This means supporting technologies, projects and companies which are at heart innovative more than anything else.
As Mozilla's program to support open web startups, this means that the thing we care about the most - more than spreadsheets, hockey stick growth and market research - is the degree of innovation that teams bring forth when they apply to our program.
So how do we assess this? Pascal actually blogged about this earlier this year; here is an excerpt:
A while ago I came across Doblin's "Ten Types of Innovation" model - although it is by far not perfect, it provides a really neat, concise way to look at (and evaluate) innovation. The way Doblin's model works is: For each innovation (project) you check them on each of the ten factors of the model (which fall into three broad categories: Configuration, Offering and Experience).
If you are interested in the kinds of startups that excite us, please check out Pascal's full post.
We look forward to seeing your application!

Texas parents will get a sooner-than-expected look at the much-maligned state standardized tests their children are taking.
Education Commissioner Michael Williams said Tuesday that most editions of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR exam, will be released to the public in August. That's mere months after they are administered in classrooms this spring.
Current law requires that the exams taken by students be released every three years -- meaning many wouldn't be seen publicly until at least next year. But Williams said he hopes the early release will answer concerns of some who "have viewed the inability to see the actual tests as a reason to invalidate the entire process."
"I have heard those concerns and am accelerating the release of all the assessments while maintaining the validity of results for the upcoming spring administration," Williams said in a statement.
First given last school year, STAAR was designed to be more difficult than previous statewide exams and to get progressively more-rigorous over time. But it has been criticized by students, parents, teachers and school administrators who worry about "over-testing."
State law requires that many high school students pass 15 STAAR exams in core subjects to graduate. A bevy of bills in the Texas Legislature would drastically reduce that number.
Williams, though, has been an outspoken proponent for school accountability and says Texas must have a demanding testing regimen to hold students, teachers and school district administrators accountable.
He ordered released 2013 STAAR exams in grades three through eight math, science, reading, writing and social studies; high school math including Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II; and high school science exams in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Also set to be made public this summer are English I Reading, English II Reading and English III Reading exams; English I Writing, English II Writing, English III Writing exams; and STAAR tests in World History, World Geography and U.S. History.
"I hope the release of these assessments eliminates some of the concern surrounding STAAR," Williams said. "In reviewing these tests, I believe parents will find attainable expectations coupled with a high level of rigor that is tied directly to course content in every grade level."

Team Berlin was started in 2006, after a three month visit of several of our team members to Stanford University. We worked in the group of Prof. Sebastian Thrun, where we had the rare opportunity of witnessing first hand the development of Stanford's entry to the Urban Grand Challenge. The members of the Stanford team were very helpful and gracious in providing us information, technical documents, and all needed help in order to start our own team.
At Freie Universität Berlin we have been building autonomous robots since 1998. Over the years, we built several generations of robots which took part in the annual RoboCup (robotic soccer) competitions. Our team, the FU-Fighters, won twice the World Championship in the small-size league (robots up to 18 cm in diameter), and once second place in the middle-size league (autonomous robots up to 50 cm in diameter). We dominated the European competitions over several years, winning five times the European championship.
In 2006 we decided to build larger robots, grounding the development in our experience with fast autonomous robots controlled by laptops, and with their own computer vision. We decided to take part in the Urban Grand Challenge – as the name implies, a new robotic challenge for us. Our decision was based also on a consideration of the areas in which autonomous robots could play a role in the not so distant future. By coincidence, the Berlin police department approached us at about the same time, asking us to develop a security robot for large warehouses and enclosed areas (such as abandoned airports). An autonomous car seemed to be the best solution and seed funding from the university was granted for the project.

Women's Ice Hockey Falls To RPI, 1-0, Plays Series' Finale Sunday, Feb. 28HAMDEN, Conn. - The Quinnipiac University women's ice hockey team lost to Rensselaer, 1-0, Saturday afternoon in game two of the best-of-three playoff series in the ECAC quarterfinals. The Bobcats and Engineers are now tied in the series with one win apiece, with the deciding game to be played tomorrow afternoon at the TD Bank Sports Center at 2 p.m.
The Bobcats and the Engineers played through 31 minutes of scoreless action before RPI capitalized on power-play situation and earned the 1-0 lead in the second period. Positioned at the left point, sophomore Amanda Castignetti dished the puck to freshman Taylor Horton at the right goal post. Horton fired a shot that deflected off the goaltender's pads, but sophomore Alisa Harrison was there to pick up the rebound and lifted it into the left corner of the net for the goal.
The Bobcats fired 13 shots on Engineers' goaltender, Sonja van der Bliek, in the second period but couldn't break through for the equalizer. Freshman forward Heather Hughes (Stouffville, Ontario) saw a close opportunity when she tried to bat down a puck in midair and fire a quick shot just outside the crease, but her shot was deflected wide.
Quinnipiac goaltender Victoria Vigilanti (Woodbridge, Ontario) recorded 23 saves in net on the day, while van der Bliek stopped 16 shots by the Bobcats in her eighth shutout of the season.
Quinnipiac and RPI return to action tomorrow in game three of the playoff series. The winner of that game will advance to play in the ECAC Hockey Semi-Finals next weekend, hosted by the highest seeded teams remaining in tournament play. Cornell University has already secured a bid into the semi-final round, as they defeated Colgate in two games this weekend. The Bobcats and the Engineers will face off tomorrow in their deciding game at 2 p.m. at the TD Bank Sports Center.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who cut the necessary deals to pass Obamacare and made himself a political attack dog this cycle, wants to keep his job for the next decade.
"I have this one and one more Congress before I have to run for reelection," Reid told Politico. "I'm planning on running for reelection." Reid's next campaign comes in 2016. If he won, that term would not end until 2022.
Does Reid want to be Senate Majority Leader that whole time? "Oh sure," he said.
Reid as run the Senate since 2006. The most notable legislation passed during that time is the health care law, when Reid had to wrangle with vulnerable Democrats in his own party to get the 60 votes needed to move the bill through the legislative process without any Republican support. For instance, Reid told reporters that he got Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., to support the law by exempting his state from the new Medicaid provisions. The backlash ultimately caused the senators to back away from the bill, after Nelson cast his crucial vote.
The Senate under Reid is as notable for what it hasn't done as what they have legislated: there has been no budget since 2009.
"There's no need to have a Democratic budget in my opinion," Reid said in May of 2011. "It would be foolish for us to do a budget at this stage."
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., scolded his party leadership for that position. "They don't want to risk the next [2012] election," he said on MSNBC last December, before adding that "there's no excuse" for flouting the law requiring a Senate budget every year. "I would have been impeached as governor," Manchin added. "I would have been impeached."
Reid gave a window into the way he thought the Senate was run, by both parties, while criticizing Republicans on the Senate floor this year.
"I understand there's a presidential election going on," Reid said. "I clearly understand that. We do what we can to protect the president of the United States. And I know there are efforts to protect their nominee."
Reid didn't just try to protect President Obama — he also attacked Mitt Romney on a regular basis, claiming that Romney had not paid any federal income tax for about a decade (Romney said he paid an effective tax rate of 20 percent, on average).
"I don't think the burden should be on me," Reid said on a conference call when asked to provide evidence for that accusation. "The burden should be on him. He's the one I've alleged has not paid any taxes."

Longtime noise rock veterans KEN mode drafted another bassist and went back to the drawing board for their fourth recording, "Venerable." The Canadians, freshly armed with new producer Kurt Ballou (of Converge fame,) dive into the deep end of genre with no hesitation, leaving behind tame mantras and pushing the envelope of noise rock.
"Venerable" could be said to be a fine example of the noise rock idiom, but that's hardly a complete description, is it?
Hey there, kids! Just a few tidbits that slid across my ethereal desk to pass along:
*First and foremost, Rob Zombie announced to the world that he has been given the honor of inducting father of shock rock Alice Cooper into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Zombie tweeted Tuesday night around 10 PM Eastern:
I am inducting Alice Cooper into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Crazy. Greatest honor of my life. Love The Coop.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!

This lip balm is amazing ~ it glides right on your lips and makes them so smooth! I bought three tubes for $2.00 at Big Lots, so it was a great deal. I like that it's an over sized tube ~ not sure why it's called a "Swivel Stick". I will keep one in my desk drawer, one in my purse and one on my nightstand. This has become a new staple in my beauty regime. Love this!!
I bought this 2 months ago because my lips were severly dry, chapped, cracked because of a windy day so I bought this to soothe my lips and seriously the next day the cracking was gone, the dry flakes were easily sloughed off! I love the non-taste scent! My husband calls it the kit-kat stuff since he smells cocoa, I think it smells more like twix! But nevertheless, I keep this in my purse at all times I catch myself swiping more and more on minutes after applying haha! Such an addict! I bough an extra stick to sooth my eyebrows after being shaped, and it causes no break outs like baby oil does, but promotes healing faster. My lips have never felt so much softer and moisturized! Love this stuff!
Oh man, this is the best lip balm in the world. I have previously sworn by Kiehls Original Formula, Karite' Shea Butter, Smith's Rosebud Salve and Mad Gab's (this one is as good but more expensive and you have to use your finger- ew). It is cheap, the container and size make it simple to apply, it leaves a thin moisturizing layer that won't mess up your lipstick. I never used to use a balm under ls or gloss because they would slide off or make that nasty line of goo where your lips touch. This product actually prevents this problem. Some balms make my lips peel like crazy and this prevents that as well. The ingredients are natural, it smells like cocoa yet has no taste. (yay!) The amount you get lasts forever. It can be found at any drug store. I used to make my own balm of cocoa butter for me and my bike messenger friends and this is just like it! The multiple uses are a plus. You can use it on your hair, hands, elbows... anywhere you need moisture. Throw it in your makeup stash and you are good to go! continued >>
Absolutely obsessed with this! Started using it on my lips and I LOVE the smell and how it feels. Also love that it is oversized. I love cocoa butter and I am too excited I can use it on my lips now too!
i have some dark spots and i got this to see if it worked to fade them away. i also added this to some blemishes i had. it kept breaking me out where i applied this on my face. i use it now only on my legs and arms, anywhere i might have dry spots. good as chapstick too.
Great stuff--I like to throw in my purse or knapsack for my dry lips, and for when I just need an emollient to stop my from scratching my dry skin during the winter months. Really love this stuff! Well worth the price.
Also really great for when you are flying because it's a multi-use product--and you can justify putting it into the zip-lock bag with your carry-on items.
This is the only thing I use to moisturize my lips now, and it works! Almost every lip moisturizer/chapstick/lipgloss tends to migrate and accumulate on the two ends of my mouth as weird goo stuff... and only this one stays put and does what it's supposed to do: keeping my lips supple. A trick is to seal with Vaseline afterwards!
More reviews by urstandingonmytoes
Maybe I bought a bad one...because mine sucks. I bought it to keep in the car, but unless its kept at room temp it is HARD AS A ROCK. It takes forever to warm it up to a useable consistency and then once I get to that point, it lays down a layer of oil that never seems to penetrate my skin or my lips. Also, mine doesn't have any smell unless I put it against my nose to sniff it. I don't care much for the container either, it always falls out when I'm trying to use it. I thought I'd found a great multi-tasking product but it just didn't work for me. I would not repurchase, and I got it cheap (around $2).
This stuff is AWESOME. I've got two of them: one for my lips, and one for everything else. I love that it has vitamin E, because it helped heal some scars I've got on my knees and elbows. It keeps my face from getting chapped from cold wind in the winter without breaking me out... and of course it's great to heal severely chapped lips. The smell is great, too!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
- Creamy consistency; doesn't leave a greasy or waxy feeling on your lips after application.
- You get half an ounce for about 2 bucks
- Easy twist up packaging
- Cocoa butter-y fragrance
- Moisture immediately sinks into lips and doesn't just sit on top of your lips.
- Moistens even the dead skin on your lips, so that it's easier to scrub off.
- Moisture lasts on your lips for a decent amount of time

I. Native Women
VI. Women as Indentured Servants
Because Jamestown was still struggling, many servants were overworked. The long work days, meager food, and insufficient clothing made life miserable for many indentured servants. Because the economy was so entirely based on tobacco, most workers could expect to spend long days in the fields. Therefore men were considered to be more valuable than women, and they were recruited more actively in England. Jamestown's female indentured servants were outnumbered by a ratio of six men to one woman.
Jamestown women, both indentured and free, worked in the tobacco fields alongside men. Tasks were divided so men performed the more physically demanding chores like plowing while women hoed. Women often handled the work of stripping tobacco leaves and preparing it for curing in tobacco barns. Indentured female servants also did other agricultural work, especially milking cows and caring for cattle, hogs, and poultry. Some performed tasks that had been neglected in Jamestown's male-dominated society. Female indentured servants took over "women's work" such as cooking, caring for children and the sick, planting vegetable gardens, and doing laundry for households that did not include wives. Because of the skewed gender ratio, indentured women often were able to marry planters prosperous enough to pay off the remainder of their terms. Indeed, indentured servitude proved so successful for both the group and the individual that future colonies followed the model created for Jamestown.

Founder of Mashable, Pete Cashmore talks about the early days of his company. Inc.
Pete Cashmore founded the super-social media blog Mashable while living with his parents in Scotland after a difficult appendectomy. Unable to go to school the now 27-year-old founder of the global news site turned his attention inward.
"You have to imagine the whole world that exists because it's all in your head," he told Chris Beier and Daniel Wolfman of Inc. "Nothing around me suggested there was technology or Silicon Valley or any of that stuff."
And so, when social media was still in its infancy (Facebook had a mere 5.5 million users) the then-19-year-old founder turned to computers and blogs, reading voraciously, and created what he called a "replacement education" that ended up leading to the founding of the world's largest social media news site, with 50 million monthly active users.
So internalized was Cashmore's version of Silicon Valley that he said not even his parents knew what he was up to over a period of 18 months when he alone worked to build the site.
Based on LinkedIn numbers Cashmore's creation now has 129 employees, and back in March when the company was rumored to be the potential target of a CNN acquisition it was valued at $40 million.
Remember Cashmore the next time you feel like the odds are against you.
