Sheer Class? Returns to educational performance : evidence from UK graduates first destination labour market outcomes
AbstractWe exploit individual-level administrative data for whole populations of UK university students for the leaving cohorts of 1985-1993 (together with that of 1998) to investigate the influence of degree performance on graduate occupational earnings. We find that there is a significant premium associated with a good performance at university. We also find that this premium increased between 1985/6 and 1993/4, a period of substantial expansion in the graduate population. Among other results, we find that there are significant differences in the occupational earnings of leavers according to university attended, subject studied, and pre-university educational and social background, ceteris paribus.

Hello, fellow crafters. Welcome to my site, Sticky Wicket Quilt! My passion in the arts and crafts world is that of stickers, wicker baskets, and quilting. There is nothing better to me than those three projects.
The stickers are something I've always loved since I was a child. My dad would buy me books of stickers, and I'd peel them out and stick them all over everything and everyone! The dog would run around covered in Disney princesses!
I also love making wicker baskets. How fun is that? Most recently, like I saw on some website, I've been braiding up baskets that are meant to wrap around mason jars. Now, not only can they carry goods, but they can carry liquids as well. You can also do this with apothecary jars as well. I also like to learn more and more intricate braiding patterns.
Another great project to work on is quilting. My husbands mother is the queen of quilting! She is trying to teach it to me, but I'm just not that good with sewing, whether by hand or machine. Which is weird because I can cross-stitch just fine. I don't know. You know how crafting is. She also finds the most awesome towel racks to hang her quilts on as well. She has some of the ones like you can see on this page http://towelracked.com/poolside-towel-racks/
The next set of projects I'm going to get into is making wreaths! I want to open up a shop on Etsy and see if I can sell some of them. And that's what this site is going to be about. I'm going to document my adventures through the crafting world and share them with you. I'll have projects, how-to's, and links to great websites. If you watch the journey, you'll be exposed to some really cool craft projects, because I like to jump around from project to project. Recently I used this site, www.howtomakeplaydough.net, to make a ton of playdough for the kids.
Please let me know if you find some project that you are really enjoying. I'd like to see it. Also if you know of any good books to add to my library, I'd love to do so. I have so many crafting books that it's insane and I'm constantly adding more. I have so many that I'll never be able to go through them, but that's the point I suppose. I want to share them with my children and their children one day. I also a custom designed paper punch or each one of them as well. I'll be doing a lot of crafts since I've been having some serious knee pain and just plan on sitting around! Let me know if you find something interesting!
Keep checking back here because I'll be adding more posts every week. Keep crafting and having fun. That's what life is about. Arts and crafts! Whoooooo! I look forward to hearing from some you. Thanks for stopping by!

LOST Spoiler: Resurrected Locke Saves Island!
In an exclusive interview with an insider, CT gets the scoop -- mostly -- on how Season 6 will end
In one of the biggest scoops in CT history, we have learned from an ABC junior staffer how the popular TV show LOST will end with its season finale in May.
A camera assistant working on the set in Oahu -- she asked to remain anonymous, giving us only her initials, A.F. -- secretly obtained a copy of the script for the show's last episode and shared it with CT.
In the finale, in a bizarre twist on the whole "flash-sideways" concept, 10-year-old Aaron returns to the island where he is not only reunited with Claire, but apparently has a miracle touch as well. He finds the dead John Locke, lays his hands on the body, utters what seems to be a prayer in a combination of Latin and Egyptian, and Locke slowly rises, Lazarus-like, from his coffin. The risen Locke's first words are, "Where is the imposter?"
When told how to find "Fake Locke," the real Locke grabs a knife and strolls away from the beach. When he finds his "evil twin," Locke stabs him in the heart, killing him instantly. Locke then finds Richard and asks him to round up everyone on the island and bring them to Charles Widmore's submarine by Hydra Island. They all climb on board the sub and leave the island, which Widmore blows up with an atomic bomb -- and this time, it really disappears for good. They then head to Los Angeles, where they will be reunited with their "parallel universe" selves and somehow resolve that ongoing tension. But we don't know how that happens, unfortunately; our source tells us that the final six pages of the copy of her script were accidentally charred in a fire, and are thus illegible. So, some mystery remains intact.
Even though we don't know how it ultimately ends, we do know this much:
A powerful redemption is looming for oodles of LOST supporters!
I also hear Vincent the dog has a very heroic scene.
Rumor has it the brave canine attacks Fake Locke's boot. Fake Locke goes to stab the mutt, but it's all the distraction Real Locke needs to kill the evil Smokey!
Ah...I see what day it is....
But it would be pretty cool to see the real Locke come back and take out fake Locke.
I think it would be interesting to see CT entertainment blog comment on other tv series besides LOST. Other shows have themes relevant to Christians as well.

Attention: Looking For The Best Edmonton SEO Company?
Want To Dominate Google?
Call Dave Vass, Edmonton's SEO Expert,
Call Today At (403)-978-1914!
Main Website: http://LocalOnlineAdvertisingExperts.com
Edmonton SEO - What Sets Us
Apart From Other SEO Companies
These days, it has become next to impossible to successfully do business without having some kind of representation online. The prevalence of Google and the way that people use the Internet has created a need for small businesses to make themselves visible to local Internet users.
In the twenty-first century, where the Internet is accessible non-stop thanks to smartphones and tablet computers, anyone thinking about using a local business will almost always check online first, and take a look at which companies are listed at the top of Google, and which ones are getting the best reviews.
Proven Success
Because of how important it can be to a small business's brand and to a company's visibility, many are beginning to turn to SEO services to help them reach the top of the local search listings. Small businesses know that if their business is the first to appear when someone looks up related search terms, they're going to get a lot more calls and a lot more business.
But not all of the SEO services available have demonstrated an ability to get their clients websites listed at the top of Google. In fact, many of these services are failing to get representation for their clients on Google's first page.
This is the first thing that sets us apart: our track record is close to impeccable when it comes to getting our clients to Google's first page, and top the top three listings of the organic search results. We've been able to accomplish this goal 90% of the time we set out to try it, and we're confident we'll be able to replicate these results for you.
No Risk For Our Clientele
Another aspect of our business model that is starkly different from what you'll find elsewhere is the way in which we assume all of the risk for this enterprise. Most SEO companies will charge you a huge monthly rate with no guarantee that they're going to be successful. You go on paying this monthly rate, hoping that your business is going to eventually show up in Google's search results, but not necessarily finding it there.
With us, it's different. You tell us what search terms you want to rank for, and we begin the process on your behalf. Only when we have your business represented on the first page of Google do we start to ask you to pay, and then we still only ask for half of the fee. Only when your desired results are achieved, and your business is ranking in the top 3 search results on Google's front page do we ask for the full price, and by then you should already be experiencing results.
A New Way Of Doing Business
In a way, not only offer an excellent opportunity for you to get your business to the top of Google, but we present a way of doing business that could potentially make your brand and your services infinitely more relevant to the local target markets. We can revolutionize your online presence, so that whether it's on mobile devices, social media sites, review sites like Yelp and Yellow Pages, your business is always the first thing to appear, and is always showing up in a positive context. This can make such a huge difference in engendering trust in new clients, and growing your business, and we make sure it's all easy, and affordable processes that get you there.
If you're looking for Edmonton SEO services but are concerned about finding the right company to help you out, don't be. We are an exceptional Edmonton SEO company and we would be glad to help your business grow. Contact us now to learn more about the services that we offer.

Joy Christian, Disproof of Bell's Theorem
View Single Post
Mar8-12, 10:24 AM
Sci Advisor
PF Gold
Posted today by Richard Gill, of the Mathematical Institute:
"I point out a simple algebraic error in Joy Christian's refutation of Bell's theorem. In substituting the result of multiplying some derived bivectors with one another by consultation of their multiplication table, he confuses the generic vectors which he used to define the table, with other specific vectors having a special role in the paper, which had been introduced earlier. The result should be expressed in terms of the derived bivectors which indeed do follow this multiplication table. When correcting this calculation, the result is not the singlet correlation any more. Moreover, curiously, his normalized correlations are independent of the number of measurements and certainly do not require letting n converge to infinity. On the other hand his unnormalized or raw correlations are identically equal to -1, independently of the number of measurements too. Correctly computed, his standardized correlations are the bivectors - a . b - a x b, and they find their origin entirely in his normalization or standardization factors; the raw product moment correlations are all -1. I conclude that his research program has been set up around an elaborately hidden but trivial mistake. "
It is interesting to add this note, addressed to those who suggest Jaynes is the only person who properly understands how probability applies to Bell's Theorem, entanglement, etc: Gill is also an expert in statistical theory, and has done extensive research in this area (including the application of Bayes). He apparently does not see the issue Jaynes does. Gill frequently collaborates with the top scientists in the study of entanglement, so I think it is safe to say this area has been well considered and has not been overlooked somehow.

GameCast: Cardinals vs. Cubs THE REVENGE!!!
Carlos Zambrano (1-0 3.00 ERA) vs. Pb&J Walters (-)
The hate between Cardinal and Cub fans is real. For those of us who live on the periphery of Cubs baseball, it doesn't seem so bad. I admit that I have to resist the temptation to taunt anybody I see wearing a Cardinals hat when I'm oot and aboot* in Toronto, but I don't feel any particularly strong feelings toward the birds or their fans for the most part.
(*note: we don't really talk like that. We also don't live in igloos, our bacon looks like your bacon, and yes, we have socialized health care. Suck it, America)
But I have to admit - I feel a little more anxious whenever the Cubs play the Cardinals. For whatever reason, I don't want the Cubs to lose to them. I don't want to be embarrassed. So, yesterday's opening shot across the Cubs-Cardinals bow was an unfortunate one.
Today, though, the Cubs face a rookie pitcher making his major league debut in a hostile ballpark. There will be REVENGE!
Who's hot
Alfonso Soriano - Another hit and 2 walks yesterday gives the Fonz a .308 AVG and .400 OBP start to the '09 season. I still believe that the Fonz is a prolific slow starter and I'm expecting a 1 for 20 drought sometime before May. Still, he's doing well -- for now.
Kosuke Fukudome - Last year, Fooky began the season like a monk on fire. Okay, so that analogy doesn't exactly make sense, but think about it. He starts out flaming, running around, waving his arms, and gradually stops moving and the fire burns out. That was Fukudome. Maybe we shouldn't get too excited too soon, but Kosuke has already hit 3 homers and is batting .375 on the season.
Remember when, after an 0-fer on opening day, fans were calling for Kosuke to be deported? He's given a big Fuku to those fans.
Ryan Theriot - He is now batting .387 on the season. I love how well the Fonz is playing, but doesn't Theriot make way, way more sense at leadoff?
Who's not
Mike Fontenot - Uh oh. If Dusty Baker was running this team, with Miles on the bench and Fontenot written into the lineup, his erasin' pencil would be looking real good right now. Fontenot is batting .226 on the season after an 0 for 4 outing yesterday. Who is your DeRo ...er, hero ... now?
Geo Soto - Sore shoulder, check. 1 hit to start the season. Check. .071 AVG so far. Check. Panic and fear - ehh, half-check.
Just a friendly reminder, written with ardor and care.
Right now, somewhere in baseball there's a guy with a .400 AVG and 3 homeruns who will be demoted to the minors by July. There's another guy in baseball right now who's batting .150 who'll be a finalist for the MVP award. That's just the way it goes.
Brash decisions about the roster is a move better suited for a Baker. Yes, we're turning Baker into an insulting nickname, and probably our first photoshop of the season. So don't Be a Baker - be patient with this team. Much as you would certainly not buy into Fukumania based on his great start, don't sell your Geo stock just because he looks more confused right now than a straight man in a tranny bar.
But I suppose I could be wrong about that. I hope I'm not, though.
Game Recap: Cardinals 7, Cubs 4, ugly loss
They won't all be this crappy. Promise.
The Cardinals tagged Sean Marshall for 4 earned runs in his first start of the season, but he wasn't responsible for the loss as Kosuke Fukudome tied the game for the Cubs in the bottom of the 5th with a 3-run homer. Unfortunately the Cubs offense petered out and the Cubs bullpen got plowed over, and St. Louis dealt Chicago their 2nd straight loss in the series opener at Wrigley.
When you consider that the Cubs have at times left the bases loaded three times in a game without capitalizing, the fact that they scored 4 runs on 6 hits and 4 walks is pretty impressive. Fukudome is now more than 33% on his way toward Our Rob's projected final homerun figure and maybe Lou had the right idea by batting Fuku in the three-hole when Aramis was resting.
Other Cubs to record offensive contributions ... well, the list is limited. Geovany Soto went 0 for 4, with his average dropping to .071 on the season, yet shockingly nobody is calling for him to be replaced by Micah Hoffpauir - or Three Finger Hill for that matter.
Aramis recorded 2 hits and a walk, but the lineup behind him went 1 for 14 on the day leaving him with his proverbial thumb up his rhetorical ass. Oh, and like a good leadoff guy, Soriano walked twice and scored 2 of the Cubs' runs. Not bad.
Also, Milton Bradley displayed some of that fierce passion that gets him into so much trouble. He was ejected in the 6th for arguing balls and strikes. As Our Rob notes, Bradley was right for being pissed and the Cubs were boned by that call. Hell, Rob must mean business about Bradley being screwed over because he actually modified the url to reflect that fact. Any post in which Rob actually uses the html feature means he's serious.
Pitching-wise, while Marshall won't be penning a book for pitchers any time soon about how to dominate major league hitting, he did go 5 innings, left the game with the lead, and was just meh-diocre enough to warrant continued use in the rotation. Besides, like any hitter in the lineup, he deserves a couple of months before Lou's head explodes and he gets delegated to the bullpen or worse.
The problem - as Rob might point out - is that the bullpen turned into a revolving door of offensive enablers. Just when you thought the Cardinals had quit scoring runs for good, a Cubs reliever would come along flashing run-scoring opportunities and the Deadbird hitter would fall off the wagon and go ball-knocking. ("Ball-knocking" is the current slang for "ribbie-scoring," which is the old-time slang for "run scoring," which is the act of injecting offense into your baseball-playing veins.)
Between Heilman, Patton, Cotts, Guzman, and Vicaino, over the span of 4 innings the Cubs allowed 5 hits, 2 walks, and 4 runs to score. That would be enough for them to collectively earn a loss.
Tomorrow should be a decent chance for REVENGE! The Cardinals are turning to the young PJ Walters, an incredibly talented Cardinals prospect who has yet to meet his potential. I figure that even if he is Kerry Wood reborn, it's hard to forget that, 5 games before he masterfully struck out 20 Astros, Wood was bouncing curveballs across home plate (and into the hind legs of the batters!) against the Expos.

Series Preview: Cardinals at Cubs
GameCast: April 16th
GameCast: April 16th Cardinals vs. Cubs
Adam Wainwright (1-0, 1.74 ERA) vs. Sean Marshall (0-0, 0.00 ERA)
Ah, the Cubs and the Cardinals. Chicago hates St. Louis for being responsible for single-handedly keeping the mullet in style. St. Louis hates Chicago for those sticklerish rules about wearing shoes in restaurants and not smoking cigarettes while pregnant.
But more importantly, the Cubs and Cardinals are tremendously followed by people who live in two kick-ass, hard-working cities who can only agree on one thing: the Yankees are overrated. They will spend the 2009 season chasing one another, and even though on paper the Cubs have a ridiculously superior ballclub, there are a multitude of Cub fans who won't stop working about LaRussa's pesky bunch until that dreaded phrase "mathematically eliminated" comes into play.
I suppose that that's the way it should be.
Who's hot?
Dare I say it? Derrek Lee had a 3 for 4 game yesterday including his first homerun of the season. But before you hop onto the Lee bandwagon, Micah Hoffpauir is batting like .500, dood! That guy should be starting!
Reed Johnson is making the most of his recent opportunity to start. He's batting .385 in 13 at bats.
Who's not?
Geovany Soto has something in common with Aaron Miles. They've both started the '09 campaign by batting 1 for their first 10.
Have you seen Kevin Gregg's wife? I'm just saying.
(Note: I have neither seen Gregg's wife nor do I know if he's actually married)
Go get 'em, boys. And watch out - when Cardinals fans are angry they fill empty packs of cigarettes with rocks and chuck them onto the field.
Series Preview: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs
But before we get to the matchups, I will say this:
- Damn Pirates. I never did trust Nate McClouth.
- This is the most important series of the year. If the Cubs are swept by the Cardinals, they'll be four games out in the standings. No team has ever come back from a four game deficit with less than nine months left to play in the season**.
- And how about those Cardinals? Who knew you could fatten your record by playing the Astros and Pirates at home. Oh wait.
- Carpenter is headed to the DL. I did not see that coming. HOLY CRAP! WHAT'S THAT THING RISING OUT OF THE EAST?!? Oh wait, it's just the sun. When did that thing start rising in the east?
* in actuality, I don't even have a sister. And in actuality, it sounds HOT
** May not actually be true
Thursday April 16th
Adam Wainwright vs. Sean Marshall
I'll tell ya, that Adam Wainwright has always given the Cubs the business. I'm not sure what it is, but I think it's the Braden Looper/Todd Wellemeyer effect. We just can't handle the converted relievers (much like Koyie Hill can't digest the converted rice). Wainwright's been gold this year, so I expect that the Cubs will have their work cut out for them.
Sean Marshall is...well, he's well rested. Other than a couple of very brief appearances, he's been spending most of the season watching reruns of Friends (that Joey!) while off days conspired to keep him off the hill. I see good things in the future for Marshall and he had an exceptional spring, but I certainly worry about rust (you know, rust never sleeps. That FREAKS ME OUT). There's a very good chance that Marshall will be wild and ends up out early. This will be a tough win for the Cubs.
Friday April 17th
Kyle Lohse vs. Carlos Zambrano
Lohse is another pitcher off to a quick start but, unlike Wainwright, hasn't had the recent success to back it up. Lohse, in his career, has been decent but unspectacular, toiling in relative obscurity for the Twins and Reds. In fact, last year was his first good season in, well, in ever. Dave Duncan effect?
Carlos is anything but obscure. Carlos is off to a pretty solid start, with a great first outing and a decent second, but I'm sure he's thrilled to be back at Wrigley. Besides, Carlos is back with his good buddy Geo. Good things are going to happen. Good chance for the Cubbies.
Saturday, April 18th
Todd Wellemeyer vs. Ryan Dempster
Hey look, Todd Wellemeyer! I was just talking about him! Wellemeyer was pretty good last year and I'm happy for him (being a former Cub and all), but he's off to a bit slower start this year. It's posible he's realized that he's Todd Wellemeyer. It's also possible that he just needs to face the Cubs. Someone just told me three paragraphs ago that the Cubs have issues with converted relievers. And rice.
Dempster! That crazy Canadian! He's...well, he's almost off to the exact same start as Todd Wellemeyer. How's that make you feel Ryan? Proud? I hope you're proud of ourself. Maybe this game, you can try throwing strikes.
Someone sound the even matchup alarm! We've got a barn burner!
Sunday, April 19th
Matthew Lesko vs. Ted Lilly
Want to get your moneyback from the government? The crazies at the post office yesterday certainly wanted me to. Well, just Ask Lesko!
I'd write something about Lilly, but he's currently enjoying his dinner and I have to help Koyie Hill find his fingers. I know they're around here somewhere...
In conclusion, ESPN disagrees with each and every one of these predicted matchups. However, our graphic is better, so screw ESPN.
Note from Kurt
I was up until effin' 1AM working on these graphics! Damn ESPN for not updating their supposed schedule until this morning! The issue was that, until last night, they still had Carpenter listed as the Sunday starter -- hence the ??? graphic and the Lesko joke.
Sidebar - I didn't know Lesko's name, so I googled something like "crazy question mark guy" and his wikipedia entry was the first hit. Seriously. End sidebar.
Anyway, I'm probably not going to go back and re-do the graphic. Screw ESPN. If they wait until the last minute to update their projections, then everybody has to pay the price of having inaccurate information!
Tip for Purchasing Tickets Online
Most online brokers and marketplaces in the secondary market charge a service fee during checkout regardless of what you are purchasing, such as Chicago Cubs tickets or anything else. Typically you can walk through the first few steps of checkout to find out if there will be any additional charges.. From your friends at Neco.com, the home of transparent pricing.
Shocking news
Chris Carpenter is headed to the DL for the first time in '09, although it's because of a bum rib cage rather than a bum shoulder.
I'll probably mention it some more when I write up the game recap tonight before bed.
Series Preview: Cardinals at Cubs; Playoff and Division Clinching Spectacular
Remember when the Cardinals had a stranglehold on the NL Central? It wasn't all that long ago. Since the 2000 season, the Cardinals have been playoff bound 6 times, including once when they won the fricking World Series.
I hate to give them credit, but the Cubs have been playoff bound like, 6 times since Truman was in office.* Those are some pretty heavy figures there. Serious props must go to St. Louis, who, for the past couple of seasons, have been second fiddle to the first-place Chicago Cubs. Hell, let's be fair. Even when St. Louis was winning, they were still less popular than the Chicago Cubs, although they will always be first in the hearts of the mullet wearing mid-west rednecks out there.
(*Guh. Hate the Tribune. Hate P.K. Wrigley. Embarrassing.)
But, you know, the important thing is that the Cubs are very likely to clinch their second consecutive division title while the Cardinals are in town. That's kind of cool. Cooler still - St. Louis is headed toward a 4th place finish. It must sting, those salty tears.
Anyway, let's take a gander at the matchups.
Friday, September 19th - Carlos ZambraNo-hitter (14-5, 3.41 ERA) vs. Adam Wainwright (9-3, 3.20 ERA)
In his last start against - of all teams - the Pittsburgh Pirates, Adam Wainwright went 4 innings, surrendered 6 earned runs, and cried into a Nike brand bath towel. Carlos Zambrano did ... oh, just a little bit better than that.
Here's what I've learned about The Big Moose: every little arm scare we've seen this year, and in past years, stems from mechanical issues. Carlos, the big lug that he is, sometimes fails to use his legs the way he should. So, he uses his arm, his shoulder, his back, his most vulgar Spanish sayings, and whatever else he can think of to bring the heat. Except it doesn't work, and Cub fans sweat bullets over a guy tossing 91 MPH fastballs instead of 98 MPH'ers. Hopefully, the no-hitter taught him his lesson. If Carlos keeps his mechanics sound, he will dominate the Cardinals again.
Saturday, September 20th - Theodore Roosevelt Lilly (15-9, 4.13 ERA) vs. Joel Piniero (6-6, 5.24 ERA)
If only. If only. If only we could pretend that the first 4 games of the season never happened to Ted Lilly. If only we could subtract every game he pitched against the Reds. Do you know what would happen if we could? The Cubs #4 playoff pitcher would have an ERA in the neighborhood of 3.24. What we do have, regardless, is a pitcher who's won 30 games in his first 2 years as a Cub. ERA be damned, I'll take it!
His opponent is Joel Piniero, a 29-year-old who's half a decade removed from his last good season. Piniero has avoided the potent Cub offense all year long and he already has an ERA of 5.24. Good luck, buddy.
Sunday, September 21st - Ryan Clownsevelt Dempster (16-6, 3.02 ERA) vs. Braden Looper (12-13, 4.06 ERA)
Dempster has done pretty much everything possible to ensure himself a lucrative contract this off season, short of punching out Albert Pujols in a game. But don't worry, there's still time for that. At this point, it remains a mystery as to whether or not Hendry will make much of an effort to pursue this surprise All Star, but one thing we know for certain is that Jim Hendry has yet to lose a free agent Cub who he wanted to keep. Remember all those bullets we sweated over Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Zambrano? Remember how he kept them in Chicago for less money than what they would have made elsewhere?
Braden Looper has been a thorn in the side of the Cubs ever since St. Louis converted him to Starterism. (It's like Judaism, but without all the laws.) However, despite his uber-impressive 2.37 ERA this year against them, Looper has yet to win a game against the Cubs. May his streak of failure continue.
Predictions: I have a pretty good feeling that the Cubs, on a gust of momentum, will blow right by the Cardinals and into NL Central Championship Clinching Goodness. Pity St. Louis, a team with expectations as big as the unnaturally large muscles on Albert Pujols. Why, one would suspect that their second consecutive year of playing crappy baseball might even be enough to drive their manager to drink. (Cue photoshop)
...naaaah. Low blow.
Series Preview: Cubs vs. Cardinals
Apologies for the belated nature of this post.
The Cubs have started out September just like we hoped they wouldn't. Loss after loss, a team that was once an unstoppable force of motion and ... uh, force ... ahem .... well, the Cubs have been playing like refried shiz ever since the Phillies took the last 2 of their 4 game series to end August.
Consequently, Cub fans have been jumping off the ledge faster than stock brokers when befallen with the crash that perluded the Great Depression. It's pretty sad when you think about it. Despite losing 7 of their last 8, the Cubs have the best record in the National League. They've got a 4.5 game lead on a Brewers team who's lost 6 of their last 8 - and that's the largest lead of any playoff-bound team in the NL, by the way - and there are multitudes of Cub fans who have already declared this a lost season.
I'm sorry, but that's embarrassing. It's tough enough for me to read all about it on the net. If I was in Wrigleyville listening to these guys lament their sorrows while drowning in Old Style, I'd probably start throwing punches. Now, I mean no disrespect to those of you who have lost your courage and are no longer capable of believing that anything good will come of this season, I'm happy we have your patronage and I welcome your comments, but you depress me far worse than any Cubs losing streak possibly could. My one piece of advice to you is this: in 2009, any time you feel that the Cubs are done, stick a fork in 'em, cancel Christmas kitchen's closed, deposit $100 into a high interest savings account. In late October, when they really will be done one way or the other, withdraw that money. At the very least, you'll be able to take your family out to an expensive dinner. In all likelihood, you'll have enough money to take a nice vacation some place warm. And, extremely, if you find that you cannot afford to keep up with your doom and gloom mentality, then use what money you've been able to tuck away in order to book an appointment with a top-notch therapist in order to analyze behavior that I would characterize as being Immensely Unhealthy. Either way, you win, just like the Cubs will.
Anyway, let's take a look at the series preview, Cubs vs. Cardinals.
Tuesday, September -9th Ryan Dempster (15-6, 2.94 ERA) vs. Kyle Lohse (13-6, 3.82 ERA)
I'm tempted to write, "if Ryan Dempster can avoid the wrath and fury of Albert Pujols, then the Cubs will be in a good position to win," but I think you'd be smart enough to see through my facade. I will say this. Dempster - like the rest of the Cubs - has been slumping as of late. But, through 6 innings of work, he's allowed 3 runs. Most months, the Cubs kill a team if their pitching holds the opponent's offense to 3 runs, but lately our Cubs have struggled to produce.
They've been coming close to punishing the Cardinals, however, and after 5.1 innings were able to chase Lohse from the game. The Cubs of any other year lose tonight because they have failed to take advantage of early situations. The Cubs of 2008, the past 8 games excluded, score 5 runs after the 7th and make it a blow out. Tonight's Cubs score 2 more and then scare the crap out of us in the 9th.
Hey, nobody said anything was easy, and nobody promised any kind of reward. It is what it is. You know what it isn't, though? Cliff jumping time.
Wednesday, September 10th - Ted Lilly (13-9, 4.43 ERA) vs. Braden Looper (12-11, 4.09 ERA)
Theodore Roosevelt Lilly was, at one point, on the brink of being an above average #4 guy. Then he faced the Reds again. I'm not sure what Cincy knows that the rest of baseball doesn't, but he got lit up like a doobie in a college dorm room. In 2007, Lilly was an effective guy at stopping a losing skid; in 2008, we've been happy during the long stretches when he was effective at all.
Braden Looper is a converted reliever. I can't believe the luck the Cardinals have had with those guys. It's not getting them into the playoffs, though, and while Looper has fared well against the Cubs this year, they are overdue to a) beat the holy hell out of a team, and b) demolish Looper.
Thursday, September 11th - Rich Harden (9-2, 1.99 ERA) vs. Todd Wellemeyer (12-6, 3.74 ERA)
Rich Harden quietly skipped his last start due to arm soreness. Wouldn't it just be so damned Cub for both of the team's top starters to go down in September, allowing us to instead witness a ghost of the team flail and fall in the playoffs? Well, as somebody who does not subscribe to superstition, and as somebody who does not believe in curses, I'm having a lot of trouble accepting my previously stated premise. In other, less confusing words, I have to believe that Harden will be fine.
Todd Wellemeyer, meanwhile, is a converted reliever. Like Looper, he also has had a tremendous amount of success this season, but he's done only "ok" against the Cubs. He's in over his head against Harden, assuming the Cubs ace isn't a shell of himself. But why would he be?
Predictions: I remember a few years ago, I was standing with my boss outside of this little shop I worked in. We were looking down the street, which on a bit of a hill, at a very large kid on a bicycle. He was huffing, puffing, sweating and swearing, but he just couldn't get his bike to pedal. He was stuck on the hill. My boss looked at him and laughed, and he said "inertia is a bitch." He was right, and it works in both ways. The Cubs are right now at the bottom of a hill trying like hell to get back up to the top again. Once they get back up there, they will have momentum. They have time to muscle their way on up. It starts tonight.
The next time I post on this blog, things will already be different. Maybe the Cubs will surprise a lot of us tonight and pull off a very satisfying win. Or maybe they will dog it out with the Cardinals, giving and getting, playing into extra innings before Bob Howry steps up to the mound and incinerates the game with another of his meaty fastballs.
I don't know if the Cubs will win this series. I don't know if the slump is over. What I do know is what I've always known - the most important games this month are the last 10. No, scratch that. The last 10 are important, but the last 5 are huge. Right now, everything in between is sound and fury, signifying nothing, scaring the crap out of everybody.
St. Louis decaps Milwaukee
A few hours ago I stumbled across the Cardinals-Brewers game. To my dismay, in the 8th inning Milwaukee held a 3-1 lead against the Cardinals, but I noticed two things: 1. Milwaukee had turned to their bullpen and 2. the heart of the Cardinals lineup was due up.
Suffice to say, the Cardinals won tonight's game 5-3. That is ultimately Milwaukee's fatal flaw. C.C. Sabathia can't pitch 9 innings every time out, and even then he's saving the Brewers from their bullpen no more than every 5th day. And while Milwaukee has a stellar offense and a scary rotation (at least, for a short series), their bullpen is mediocre at best. They have a couple of stellar middle relievers, but in any game which requires the use of 3, they will be in trouble.
The Cubs enter the series tomorrow against the Phillies with the second biggest divisional lead in baseball. They are up 6 games on the Brewers - who have the second best record in the NL - and 9.5 games on the Cardinals. A strong showing against the Phillies is important, as Milwaukee faces the Pirates. But wouldn't it just be awesome if the Pirates surprised the Brewers while the Cubs dominate Philadelphia?
Unlikely, yes. Possible ... well, anything is.
Looking for perspective
I'm sitting here entirely charged up, although my energies aren't directed toward blogging right now. Actually, I feel a podcast coming on, so you should stay tuned for that this weekend as it will certainly be interesting and amusing.
As far as the Cubs go ... meh. Look, I'm so sick and tired of panicking - and of panicking people - every time the Cubs hit a bump in the road. We know that this is a solid team with good pitching and offense. We know that even the best teams in baseball lose and lose often. On any given week in any given season, the World Series champions can look like absolute tools. And before we spout our inherent concerns and fears about our shaky set-up man, or our lack of starting pitching depth, I would heartily recommend that all Cub fans study the best teams in the NL and AL. They all have holes, they all have flaws, and they all suffer from ridiculous losing streaks.
Now, the Cubs are headed into St. Louis, where they will be doing battle with the second place team in the division, the Cardinals. It won't be an easy series, but I submit to you that it actually doesn't mean all that much one way or the other. Put it to you another way - if the Cubs sweep the Cardinals, who here thinks that St. Louis is as good as dead and buried in the division? Anybody? Anybody at all? I mean, sure, you'll feel a hell of a lot better about things and you won't be dancing on the ledge anymore, but I think we're all smart enough to recognize that a Cubs sweep of the Cardinals means nothing right up until the Cubs win the division in late September by 3 games.
Therefore, if the worst case scenario happens and the Cubs are swept straight into second place, I'd recommend that you maintain some perspective. If you wouldn't be ready to declare the Cardinals dead and buried if they get swept, then you shouldn't proclaim that viewpoint if the Cubs get swept.
Damn you, Cubs!
Although I have yet to see nor hear anything official, it would appear as though my cunning ruse will soon fail.
We've been planning on attending the Cubs-Jays series from the get-go, while intentionally skipping the stinking pile of poo that is Jason Marquis. However, part of my hopes were on Carlos starting Friday's game against the hated Blue Jays. Unfortunately, because Lou Piniella appears intent on the Cubs laying the smack down on the Braves, it's possible-if-not-likely that the Big Moose will be starting tomorrow night in Chicago.
The coup de grâce in this entire deal comes from the Blue Jays website. We finally bought our tickets tonight to Friday's game, and the official website of the perennial third place AL East team reports that A.J. Burnett will be kicking off the three-game set by squaring off against Cub phenom Sean Gallagher.
Don't get me wrong, I like Gallagher quite a bit. I'll enjoy watching him pitch. But he is no Big Moose, not by a long-shot, and I am angry, fiercely angry at the Cubs for apparently trying their hardest to get to the playoffs by possibly enabling Carlos an extra start over the span of the baseball season.
But, hey, it's just one report and while I have intentionally avoided reading the Chicago papers, I have yet to hear anything official from the Cubs front office about it. Besides, don't the Cubs know that A.J. Burnett is a tough pitcher and Carlos has a better chance of beating him? Bastards.
Pujols wiped out
Get it? It's a poo pun. I'm sure the Desipiots aren't in the least bit surprised.
Anyway, it turns out that they don't make a band-aid big enough to cover all of the wounds on Albert Pujols. ESPN is reporting that the man who broke the Major League color barrier will be out for the next three weeks, which is an excellent chance for the Cubs to spring toward sweet, delicious dominance. You see, while the Cubs have a rough schedule ahead of them - they play 16 of their next 24 games on the road, including 18 against teams with .500 records or better - the Cardinals are also facing a difficult schedule. They play 11 of the next 24 games on the road, including 9 in a row, including 9 against teams with .500 records or better.
Okay, so the Cubs definitely have a rougher ride ahead of them, but, without their key offensive player, St. Louis will not have any easy wins for the next three weeks. This could have been a chance for the Cardinals to really close the gap between them and the Cubs - who definitely have a make-or-break month ahead of them - but now they will struggle to simply keep up.
Tough pu...jols. (Couldn't resist).

Not exactly. There is likely a great deal of gold in Ft. Knox. The accounting methods, however, are suspect. For example, I have read that gold allocated to one sovereign nation (many hold their gold here) is counted twice; once for the country to which it belongs, and once to the country that holds it on their behalf (i.e., the USA).

Duster (clothing)
A duster is a light, loose-fitting long coat.
The original dusters were full-length, light-colored canvas or linen coats worn by horsemen to protect their clothing from trail dust. These dusters were typically slit up the back to hip level for ease of wear on horseback and were the recommended "uniform" for Texas Rangers. Dusters intended for riding may have features such as a buttonable rear slit and leg straps to hold the flaps in place. For better protection against rain, dusters were made from oilcloth and later from waxed cotton.
At the turn of the twentieth century, both men and women wore dusters to protect their clothes when riding in open motorcars on the dirt roads of the day.[1]
Dusters today[edit]
Western horsemen's dusters gained renewed popularity in the late twentieth century and are now a standard item of western wear. They figured little in Western films until Sergio Leone re-introduced them in his movies The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West. The latter played for many months in Paris and was in part credited with a revival of the duster in men's fashions in that city. In modern times, leather dusters are worn by motorcyclists to prevent road rash.
Similarly, in the genre of heroic bloodshed, primarily through Chow Yun Fat and John Woo, the hero is often seen wearing a duster (which is a western version of the trench coat).
In the ongoing book series The Dresden Files the main character wears a duster given to him by a lover and enchanted with spells to resist mundane damage and spells from enemies.
Mac from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia has a cherished duster jacket.

Exact Simulation Of The 3/2 Model
AbstractThis paper discusses the exact simulation of the stock price process underlying the 3/2 model. Using a result derived by Craddock and Lennox using Lie Symmetry Analysis, we adapt the Broadie-Kaya algorithm for the simulation of affine processes to the 3/2 model. We also discuss variance reduction techniques and find that conditional Monte Carlo techniques combined with quasi-Monte Carlo point sets result in significant variance reductions.

Comedian and actress Niecy Nash is on the current season of Dancing with the Stars. In recent interviews she has been vocal about the fact that she likes her curves and jiggly bits and wants nothing to do with drastic weight loss. However, she has confessed that five years ago she was 50 pounds heavier.
She went from a size 14 to a size 6 by following a 1,200 calorie-per-day diet and she exercised. Since she was a busy mother of three and had two full time jobs she couldn't exercise the traditional way at the gym. Instead, she did her own home workouts. She explained,
"I ate sensibly and would hula-hoop when I watched TV with my kids. We'd go skating on Saturdays, ride our bikes in the neighborhood and have dance contests."
These days Niecy fluctuates between a size 8 and 10 and considering she's doing so much dancing and exercise she'll allow herself to indulge. But if she gets to where she's out of her comfort zone she'll go back to counting calories and controlling portions.Celebrity Weight Loss, Niecy Nash

This evening, part of the mountain music legend's farewell tour, will be a fantastic celebration of the life of Dr. Ralph Stanley, performing the music he's made famous. His is a distinctly American art form, which blends rural-based lyrics with fluid, jazz-like instrumental improvisations: music that will warm the hearts and stir the souls of bluegrass fans young and old. This patriarch of bluegrass has spent most of his 87 years honoring this uniquely American genre, and preserving it for generations to come. An influence for countless musicians through the years, this living legend is a Grand Ol' Opry inductee and winner of three Grammy Awards. "Easily the most eminent bluegrass singer in the world."

Outstanding . Best Bloomsbury cafe . Killer coffee, lunch great location on corner lambs conduit . Great service good prices
We were looking for a lazy place to take the laptops on a Sunday morning to get some work done and the mission was to find a Wi-Fi friendly place in the area with decent food.
Tutti's looked the part with cosy seating across 2 floors, free wifi, power sockets and tables.
Everything was perfect until I ordered the food. I started with a potato and leek soup which was slightly above room temperature and with a lumpy texture. I then moved onto the goat's cheese quiche which was both bland and slightly cardboard like.
I'll definitely go back to enjoy the cosy workspace and great music, but next time I'll stick to the coffee only.
After passing by Tutti's for the bazillionth time, I decided to stop in and see what it was all about. Usually, the windows of this corner cafe on the pedestrian bustling Lamb's Conduit Street are filled with people eating, drinking, reading newspapers or just generally being nosey and watching passers-by from their barstool vantage points.
The old and thoroughly worn-in wooden floors teamed with the eclectic decorations, colourful menu board and a well-used three-piece suite definitely made this caf stand out from, say, the cookie-cutter Starbucks just across Great Ormond Street. In addition to the barstools that line the windows, the cafe has a couple tables and chairs on the ground floor and additional seating on the lower ground floor.
Standard grab-and-go cafe fare is available and is supposedly made onsite. The price of these items is far-and-away cheaper than similar concept cafes (coughPretaMangercough), and the available options range from the traditional to the inspired. Some hot items like soup, jacket potatoes and chile con carne are available on the menu board next to some truly delicious sounding smoothies. The cafe pours Costa coffee at significantly cheaper prices.
Although my soya latte had some grounds at the bottom of it, I can't complain for an otherwise adequate java for only £1.10. Plus, as a French Press drinker, I'm used to avoiding the dregs anyway. The fact that it was served in an ordinary coffee cup pleased me immensely, as I always feel like a ponce drinking my latte out of those tall, awkward glasses with useless handles at regular Costa locations.
I wouldn't go out of my way for another cup of coffee here, but I definitely will try out the smoothies. And the fact that the drinks are so cheap in addition to the free wifi, the comfortable settee and the innocuous indie man-with-a-guitar music playing in the background will probably encourage me to return here to spend many an hour working and studying.
Because I'm getting pretty damned tired of the five song loop that has been playing really loudly on repeat at my local Pret-a-Manger for the last six months.
This is my local on Lambs Conduit Street when I want to support an independent business for my coffee. The prices for coffee, tea, smoothies, breakfast baked goods, and sandwiches are decent. There are two very good savory options. One includes a selection of salads (bean, pasta, etc.) that are reasonably priced and you can get a mixture. The selection's pretty decimated by about 1.30-2.00pm, so if you want that move quick. Tutti's also has pasta dishes that they'll warm up for you and they are right tasty.
I'm not telling what my favorite food item is because they don't order a lot each day. I will say it is made by a local German cook and it is the best I've had in the area.
As already mentioned free wifi, though you need a password.
I can't recall if the place is wheelchair accessible though there's always some mum clunking her SUV-sized baby buggy into the doors. I think they'd be glad to provide service.
Twice I've been lured by the Union coffee logo on the sandwich board out front, and twice I've been disappointed.
If Union coffee means barely drinkable, then Tutti's hit it spot on. Having consumed top-notch Union coffee at other joints around town, I know that this is not the case.
What the folks down at Tutti's, perhaps, could benefit from is another tutorial on how to pull shots and steam milk by the Union brew peeps. If the fault does not lie there, then their machine may need to be serviced. I actually don't recall the make of their machine, and maybe it's not terribly decent. It could be that they need to invest in a better brand.
I'm pained to say that in won't be visiting this shop again unless it's to buy a bottle of water. The locale is choice, the outside seating is grand, and, on rainy days, the window seats for people-watching are ideal, but the product is, sadly, sub-par.
I always try to stop by for lunch and a coffee if I'm in the area. Tutti's has a great selection of sandwiches, paninis and pastas at very affordable prices, and the window bar is an excellent idea for watching the world go by as you enjoy your lunch. Recently renovated downstairs, the place now has extra seating and two 'caves'. The owner renovated the old coal storage in the basement offering two stylish and separate hangouts if you want more privacy while enjoying your lunch/coffee.
Super cute and easy going! I just landed in London and my hostel room isn't ready yet so I have been chilling at Tutti's for the last several hours.
Free wi-fi, which is making my life better! A diverse seating arrangement; huge windows with bar style seats for the computer solo user, Comfy couches for the loungers and coffee drinkers and lots of tables for the lunch-time group crowds! The atmosphere is buzzingly busy which is fun to watch as well as take part in...or at least feed off the energy. AND great fresh food, coffee and smoothies! :)
I'm fond of this little cafe. I jumped in here not long back after I was running up against a deadline and needed wi-fi access speedily. Half an hour, and one latte later and I was all caught up.
The guy who runs the place is friendly. We had a giggle about him giving me a takeaway coffee when i'd just asked to use the wi-fi. The staff are very friendly and I sat in the sunshine tying away.
And then it all went a bit wrong! Much like the rest of the area, they close at five. I guess that's quite reasonable, isn't it? I wasn't turfed out though, and possible outstayed my welcome by a good ten minutes, but it was a shame I didn't get there earlier in the day - it's a good spot to do some work and catch up on my reading.
I'll be back.
With so few places in the Lambs Conduit area open on a Sunday (and early) I was delighted to soak up the neighborhood vibe at Tutti's. Plenty of space (couches, tables, bar space, outdoor seating) gave it a good coffee-shop vibe. Large variety of paninis and sandwiches, and they also have a whole juices and smoothies menu. The coffee is Union which is delicious, although they need to be better trained by Union (milk was too hot). A delightful little place if you are in the area and need a pick-me-up.
Locally owned. Amazing coffee. And unlike Starbucks who used across the street, they pay their tax!
There are a few lovable cafes in Lambs Conduit Street, and this one deserves a special mention because despite its excellent coffees, incredibly friendly owner and staff, perfect prices, absolutely delectable salad bar, all sorts of wonderful quick and yummy lunches, healthy and affordable and tasty foods, Mediterranean cooking and charm people still seem to manage to sit in the much-opposed-and-fought-against new Starbucks opposite. And why? I might just go in and ask them one day. Shocking. Tuttis was there long before, and is such a very good place! Ok, it is often full, so maybe that's why. Anyway, it's great.

Candia, Manchester to try again on school solution
With their first meeting having failed to "produce solutions," the Candia and Manchester school boards will meet publicly for a second time in the hopes of coming to a resolution on the high school issue.
The meeting will be held Dec. 20 in the Health Department building in Manchester. This time, Mayor Gatsas has assured the Candia board that the public will be allowed to speak. At a Nov. 26 meeting, Gatsas motioned to adjourn the meeting without public input, upsetting many in the audience.
The Candia School Board announced the meeting at a public forum Thursday night. Parents and citizens in attendance spoke resoundingly in favor of leaving the city school, with many using the phrase: "the time has come."
"If they're breaching the contract, I want out. It's not good for the kids" said Neil Ragas.
"I feel a sense of urgency, and my child is not going to be in high school for three more years. I lose sleep over this," said Kristen Davis.
Manchester has been at risk of losing Candia and Hooksett students after layoffs resulted in chronic classroom overcrowding this school year. The Hooksett School Board voted Tuesday to notify Manchester of a breach of contract, though the town is still pursing negotiations for an early release from the contract.
In Candia Thursday, board members seemed to agree with some of the comments from the public.
"I want to see things work out with them, but I just don't see it. We have to look out for what's best for our kids ... I love Manchester, and I'd love to see us there, but the thing is, at what cost? Our kids' future? Our kids' education? That's where I'm at," said Candia School Board Chair Deb LeBlond. "I love Manchester, but I love my kids more."
Board members said while no negotiations could occur while they were under contract with Manchester, area school districts have been showing interest in having Candia students attend their schools.
"We're a small community, but we're a pretty awesome community. We're kind of like that cute new girl in town. Everybody's calling us to go to the dance, and for good reason," said Nicole LaFlamme. "We are so focused on education: we've got the best teachers, and so our kids really learn, and they're really well-rounded and have great scores."
LaFlamme also noted that Candia's relatively small number of high school students would make it easier to fit into a new school. Candia has 144 students at Manchester High School Central. Hooksett has 404 students at Central and 150 at Manchester High School West.
The school board urged parents in the audience to attend the Dec. 20 meeting to make their "voices heard." They also charged parents with explaining to other Candia residents the issues with Manchester.
"It has got to come from you, the community," said LaFlamme.

Global Service Provider Reduces Leasing Costs by over £700,000.00 with Managed Funding:
With a fleet of over 350 vehicles our client wanted to establish if they could reduce their vehicle leasing costs without it having a detrimental impact on their business or drivers. Historically, they sourced 3 quotes for each vehicle on a contract hire with full maintenance basis.
TMVM analysed the fleet and implemented a Managed Funding structure based upon non maintenance contracts with a separate maintenance and management arrangement with TMVM. So each time a vehicle was replaced the best quotation from over 15 providers was taken delivering a reduction in like for like monthly costs of between £30 - £104.
Call us now on
0116 251 1122 to discuss your requirements, or contact us via the website
Why Managed Funding:
This position has come about because of the change in trading conditions and financial markets since 2006, this volatility means most fleets are experiencing greatly increased leasing costs.
Furthermore it's widely accepted that this is the shape of the market for the foreseeable future so fleets need to take steps to deal with the change and the impact it has.
