Nexus is better than I thought, I knew it worked well in the application it is used here and for skinners and such (those selling downloads) and having used it in that fashion myself. My girlfriend who is a florist and selling physical goods was paying up to $500 a month for website maintenance and all the bs she needed to sell flowers online until I talked her into giving IPS a go and see what happens. It's been 2 months now and the IPS suite we are using (Board, Content, Gallery, and Nexus) all serve her business well. Nexus doesn't have a few of the specific things the old program had, but then it isn't florist specific either and we have adapted. Thanks for the good stuff and saving her a mint a month.
Great job IPS

Posted: 8:54 AM- PROVO - A BYU linebacker has pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor charges stemming from an April incident involving a water balloon.
Terrance Hooks was arrested for breaking in to two apartments while trying to find someone who hit his girlfriend with water balloons.
Hooks pleaded guilty yesterday to two counts of criminal mischief and one count of criminal trespass. In exchange for his plea two counts of felony burglary were dropped.
He was sentenced to 15 days in a work diversion program.
BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall suspended Hooks for the Cougars' season opener against the University of Arizona, along with another player who was arrested in the incident but not charged.
Mendenhall also ordered Hooks to perform 40 hours of community service.

A New Way To Spray And Live Another DayLike many of you, we aren't professional automotive painters, but that doesn't stop us-or most of you, for that matter-from giving something new the "old college try," as it were, like wielding a spray gun. Over the last year we have been bringing you body and paint basics stories, some of which were familiar territory to begin with, but much were new to us as well, which in our opinion is often the most fun. After all, if we aren't continually learning, what's the point?
HVLPHVLP painting has been around for more than a few decades now; in fact, HVLP was basically born from old canister vacuums that could be reversed and blow air, and eventually you could order a spray gun of sorts with your vacuum to paint your house...or even your automobile! Obviously, the process and equipment have been far improved from those days, and there's no doubt that the majority of you have heard if not used an HVLP spray gun by now, but what is HVLP, exactly? HVLP (high volume low pressure) guns use much less pressure to push the paint into the air stream, where it is atomized by a higher volume of lower-pressure (10 psi or less) air. HVLP spray guns are accepted as superior to conventional paint guns for many reasons, including anywhere between 40 and 60 percent less (depending on who you ask) material usage. That means significant material/money savings because the paint is going directly to what you are spraying instead of in the air. This increased efficiency is better for the environment as well as your pocketbook. Some HVLP guns work with an air compressor and some with a turbine, so which should you use?
Air Compressors And HVLPAn air compressor uses pistons or a diaphragm to push a relatively small volume of air at high pressure into a holding tank. Until about 15 years ago, most spray guns required an air compressor. The air compressor is capable of pressures of 125 psi and more, but are heavy, and can produce contaminated air when they are worn out or improperly filtered.
But one of the biggest problems many of us non-pros face when it comes to automotive painting is not having the optimum tools or equipment to do the job right, and having an adequate air compressor is on the top of the list, especially for non-HVLP users. To run a non-HVLP gun, you generally need at least a 5hp compressor and a minimum 20-gallon air tank; for an HVLP gun you'll need about 3 hp and a 20-gallon tank.
On top of the proper air compressor you'll need a quality, genuine HVLP gun-not a swap meet or cheapo one, as most often these are converted conventional guns-a regulator, air filters, an inline evaporator, and, of course, an air hose. You'll also need a high-quality respirator or even a fresh air respirator since the paint industry knows so much now about all the bad stuff in paint that is known to cause diseases such as silicosis, isocyanate poisoning, emphysema, and even cancer that can be directly attributed to breathing air contaminated with toxic vapors and mists. Anyone around paints has been subject to and is at risk for all the above-which is a whole 'nuther story...more on this later. Each and every one of these things adds up to quite a bit of money, not to mention space. Even though those giant compressors at the home improvement store look impressive, not all of us have the room for one, so what about turbines?
Turbine HVLPA turbine is a high-speed centrifugal blower motor that provides the gun with high cfm flow at low pressures. Because of the high rpm (near 20,000 rpm in some cases) a turbine operates at, the air is frictionally heated. This heat serves to eliminate all moisture from the atomizing air. The high rpm also increases the atomizing air temperature, which reduces flash time. Turbines are also lightweight and provide a reliable source of dry, oil-free air, unlike an air compressor on its own.
AXIS Products offers a high-quality turbine HVLP system-with a twist. Until now, a person using either a turbine or air compressor HVLP system was faced with hooking up a separate fresh air respirator along with whichever paint system to receive adequate breathing protection. It seems to be widely known that most non-professional air purifying respirator devices fail to protect a person's health in today's painting environment. To solve the problem, Axis Products developed their Citation HVLP sprayer/respirator system which combines the sprayer and fresh air system into one compact, economical package so you'll never be without fresh, clean, dry air whenever you paint or sand/grind hazardous materials.
I was totally in the dark about turbine HVLP systems, so I called and spoke with Jan from AXIS Products at length to bring me up to speed and educate me. One of the first things I asked her was if you can use an HVLP gun designed to be used with an air compressor, and she informed me that guns for each system are specific, but there are adapters to use a turbine gun with a compressor, but not the other way around. Turbine guns differ from conventional spray guns in two main areas. First is the size of the internal air ports. Compressor-type spray guns' internal air port openings are approximately 1/4-inch in diameter, while turbine guns need more air and use 5/8-inch air ports, more than six times larger than those in compressor guns. Keep in mind that HVLP atomizes with a high volume of air and low pressure. The second major difference is the manner in which the material is moved from the cup out of the nozzle. Turbine HVLP units pressurize the cup, forcing material to the nozzle. A conventional gun creates a vacuum to siphon material to and through the nozzle.

VALPARAISO | A proposed sidewalk to provide public access to view the Thorgren Basin detention pond on Roosevelt Road brought questions from the city's Utilities Board as to who should pay for sidewalks.
Chief Deputy City Engineer Adam McAlpine asked the board Tuesday for permission to use the city's sidewalk contractor to install the walk from the south end of the basin to Evans Avenue. The basin, built in 2012, was designed to have a public access component for residents to see the environmental benefits of the project.
McAlpine said the city plans to plant 30 to 40 trees and other water-tolerant plants as part of the naturalization of the basin. Designed to have water in it year-round, the basin has a meandering channel to slow the storm water and let the silt and pollutants settle out before the water enters the stormwater system.
The sidewalk project received a $20,000 grant from the city's Redevelopment Commission and another $20,000 from the Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority to be used for the public access portion, which McAlpine said could someday include landscaping and benches in addition to information signs explaining the project.
The utilities board budgeted $40,000 from its stormwater funds for the project too, and McAlpine estimated the cost of the sidewalk portion at $53,500. Board President David Bengs asked why the board was being asked to pay for the sidewalk.
Bengs said the board paid for the detention basin, and the sidewalk should be the public works department's responsibility. McAlpine said the sidewalk is more a part of the educational component of the project than a sidewalk for general use. Also the funding from the RDA is specifically for the public access portion of the project.
Board members said the walk will connect to Evans and provide a sidewalk for residents of the area. Bengs added, "It's the right thing to do but the wrong way to fund it."
The board told McAlpine to ask public works for money to pay all or part of the cost of the project. He will report back at the board's next meeting.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency please dial 911 immediately
Nocturnal hypoglycemia refers to low blood sugar levels at night in a person who has diabetes. Blood sugar levels can drop below their target range at night if a person eats too little food after taking his or her usual nighttime insulin dose or takes more insulin than prescribed in the evening.
Low blood sugar can also happen when:
But sometimes the reason is not obvious. Nocturnal hypoglycemia may also be related to previous exercise or increased physical activity.
Signs of low blood sugar at night include:
Testing blood sugar levels at about 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. for a few consecutive nights may help a person find out whether low blood sugar is causing the symptoms. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices can also help. These devices sound an alarm when blood sugar is too high or too low.
Nocturnal hypoglycemia may be prevented by decreasing the evening insulin dose or by adding more food to the bedtime snack.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11/News Release) - - J.B. Ogle Animal Shelter and No Kill Louisville are partnering to create a no kill community in Clark County, Ind. by August 2013.
The J.B. Ogle Animal Shelter is owned and operated by the City of Jeffersonville, but provides animal shelter services to other areas of Clark County including Borden, Charlestown, Clarksville, Sellersburg, and Utica.
No Kill Louisville's mission is to build a community where no adoptable pet or feral is killed through the support and creation of programs and services, collaboration and advocacy. These two organizations have a common goal: to provide compassionate care for all the community's pets.
Through this collaboration, No Kill Louisville will work directly with J.B. Ogle's staff to increase adoptions both on and off site through public outreach, new program formation and volunteer recruitment work to increase the number of foster families available to J.B. Ogle for infant, senior and ill pets or when the shelter is to capacity; provide fund-raising support and work to increase awareness and further development of the shelter's spay/neuter programs including Trap Neuter Release for feral/unowned cats.
In addition, No Kill Louisville will pull directly from J.B. Ogle for the organization's (NKL's) new feline adoption program, work to set up more off-site adoptions through events and partnering with local businesses and promote J.B. Ogle as the featured shelter of No Kill Louisville's annual Million Mutt March, taking place this year on Saturday, October 27 at Cherokee Park in Louisville, Ky.

I am having a mini love affair with Clinique products again after a long hiatus :)
I love this colour in the Chubby Stick - it leaves my lips with a lovely healthy rosy flush that brightens my smile, it's moisturizing, twists up, handy to throw in my handbag and I don't even need a mirror to apply - what's not to love :)
Nearly ready for my second tube after using multiple times a day for about four months. Love this and will continue to repurchase this colour.

I love this color and formulation. It matches my lips perfectly and easy enough to wear on weekends. Doesn't last long but it is indeed moisturizing.

Love love love these! I have 3 full size ones in whole lotta honey, bountiful blush, voluptuous violet. I also have 2 smaller travel size ones in super strawberry and mega melon. They are balmy and feel gorgeously creamy on lips. They leave a nice hint of colour. I use mine nearly everyday and they last forever! So worth the price.

Super Strawberry chubby stick has a tinted berry colour, ideal for autumn-winter season.
(+)It has a sheer natural finish.
(+)It is the best coloured moisturizer, I have ever used (and honestly I have used so many that didn't work for my chapped lips).
I have already bought 2 shades (super strawberry=tinted berry & mighty mimosa=natural pink) and Im pretty pleased with both.
(-)They aren't long lasting.
(-) They don't have spf

Clinique's 07 Super Strawberry is a twist up colored balm that looks like a pencil. Its a muted mauve berry color that goes on pretty sheer. I think the delivery system is pretty cute, as you dont have to sharpen anything. The color payoff itself is very sheer but when you swipe a little more, you can add more color. It doesn't last very long, and it does moisturize a little. I don't find this color suit me only because my lips are already very pigmented. I think this color would show up like a nice berry stain on gals with very light colored lips.

I looooove this lipstick! It feels and looks like a lip balm, but it has a great amount of color to it. My sister got me this lipstick for my birthday. I love it when you can just try out a product that you normally wouldn't buy for yourself! I will definitely repurchase :)

I just love this product. It feels like a lipbalm, but it has great color pay-off. It's actually moisturizing and it doesn't accentuate flakes. The balm wears off as quick as regular lip balms do I guess, but the color does stain the lips so even when it wears off you still have color on your lips. I find the applicator very easy to use. I can pop this on without a mirror, though I also find that the back of the toplid can function as a mirror.
The color is a nice berry color, that is more rasberry than strawberry on me. It's a very day-time appropriate color.
Overall I love this product because it's very effortless, pretty and multifunctional (no need for seperate lipbalm). I highly recommend it and I'll be buying different shades.

I live in Arizona where its very hot and dry, and I always have dry cracked lips. I've tried a ton of different chapsticks, lip moisturizers, and tinted balks, and so far this is the only one that's really impressed me. The colors are very attractive, the crayon design is cute and different, and its very moisturizing. I had been seeing it in ads in magazines and decided to try it out... SO glad I did! I put on blistex medicated lip ointment first thing in the morning, then apply the chubby stick when my lips dry, and its really done wonders. My lips have been moist and beautiful for once, and I will never give this up! It's also a nice medium between lip balm and lipstick. I've never been able to pull off lipstick bc of my dry lips, but now I don't need to try it cuz this looks just as beautiful. I would even say glamorous... I feel good in this, and that's the point!
I would recommend a million times over to anyone! Especially if you stress over dry lips... If you're like me, you'll probably feel like it's worth the price too.

Got this as part of a gwp, love the nifty packaging and its great for on the go. Bridges the gap between balm and lipstick although dont feel its very moisturizing. Colour is great provides a pop of fresh vibrant colour but not over powering. Will look forward to trying other shades in the range.

Billy Crystal just announced ... he's replacing Eddie Murphy as the host for next year's Oscars show.
The legendary Academy Awards host tweeted just minutes ago -- "Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up my prescriptions. Looking forward to the show."
As we previously reported, Murphy backed out from hosting the show yesterday -- after his friend Brett Ratner resigned from producing it ... following uproar over a homophobic slur Ratner dropped at a film screening.
This will be Crystal's 9th time hosting the Oscars.
Less Crystal, more Muppets.
"What's really nice is TMZ is posting more interesting items today than they have for the last week."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- That's because Lindsay accidentally locked herself in the morgue cooler, and there haven't been any recent "sightings". Thank Goodness :o) ! ! !
Noooooo!!, not Billy Crystal. I don't understand why people think this guy is so funny.
I've no interest in the Oscars with Billy Crystal hosting.
-Home Run With Brian Grazer.
-Home Run With Billy Crystal.
-Disappointed about Ratner/Murphy.
-But these two announcements makes it easier to swallow.
No Nofstracisms will result.
Hey Billy, what young woman, what pharmacy and what prescriptions.
-OPEN the Oscars with this.
THEN give me the writing gig -
As far as Oscars hosts go Billy Crystal was one of the best. That being said, he will fail miserably this time around. Trying to recreate television magic usually turns out to be a very cringeworthy experience. He will be okay but all anyone will be saying the next day is "he wasn't as good as he used to be".
Major major fail losing Eddie Murphy.
Now I know I'll watch this year!
TMZ always seems to forget to add 'Who Cares!' to their dump polls
Ah, there's nothing classier than talking to people with a toothpick sticking out of your mouth. Was looking forward to Eddie hosting, but hopefully Billy will be funny - he's kinda hit or miss.
Billy enters his pharmacy and is met by counter GIRL.
Played by Lady Gaga.
After much confusion about the prescription?
And Billy getting irate?
GAGA calls to the PHARMACIST in the back.
Eddie Murphy walks out as the pharmacist.
Resulting in twice as much confusion.
In the sketch Eddie's like a street-talking pharmacist.
the two then break out into a-song-and-dance number.
About all of the movies.
This way you marry both camps -
I'm calling Eddie right now ...
Oh and I want Uncle Sid to make an appearance.
The great Sid Caesar.
Sid knows me.
-A little too well, quite frankly ...
To the Academy Awards: I am very disappointed that Eddie Murphy is not hosting. I was really looking forward to something new, something fresh and Eddie would have been a terrific change. Now we are BACK to Billy Crystal. Same ole, same ole. I like Billy but I think it's time for a CHANGE. Eddie would have produced great ratings. Why not approach Eddie and ask him to reconsider? Eddie Murphy is THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE!
Now just get Whoopi to co-host with Billy and it will be a great night..........
Billy is a pro and when he hosts, it is obvious to everyone how much time and effort he and his team have put into it. Glad to see him back. Hope, Carson and Crystal...the best!

98 Degrees Summer Reunion Tour?
98 Degrees sparked rumors of a reunion on Wednesday night when their website was updated for the first time in over a decade.
Rumorfix.com says a source told them the guys, Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons and Justin Jeffre, are planning to go on a fifteen city tour this summer between July and August.
Ever since the Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block reunited, there has been fan pressure for the 98 Degrees hunks to go on a reunion tour. And, our source says the timing is right for the entire group — so they are doing this as a "Thank You" to their loyal fans. Expect a formal announcement in a week or so.
Fan Pressure? I wonder what he actual ticket sales would be for a 98 Degrees concert?

#2146 The facts of life
1. Papa Frenchie read my blog post about his gym last week, and since then, he has been personal training me like a pro boxer. Obviously the workouts are brilliant, but the best bit is his endless quotability. Take Saturday, for example: I was doing a set of bench presses when he came and stood over me. "Isaac!" he said in his Puerto Rican accent. "You know, I am psycheeec. I know why you come een here." With the bar halfway above my chest and shaking, I grunted at him to keep going. "You want to be slender but defined," he said. "Si, si," I replied. "But I know what you really want," he said. Another grunt. "You want to walk een the club and when the girls see you they run over and they say, 'Isaac you are electrofied!' And then you tell them, 'Baby you want some of thees energy, you just gotta plug eet een!'" Amazing. I just about dropped the bar.
2. As I've discovered over the past five days, too much time on your hands is kryptonite to success, happiness and productivity. Laziness begets laziness.
3. Girls: If you want to know what guys are really like, read He's Just Not That Into You and The Game. Trust me.
4. After watching The Descendents, all I want to wear is Hawaiian shirts. Reyn Spooner does them best.
5. You know what the saddest thing ever is? Crying while eating. Your throat constricts, the tears drip into your food and you're automatically transported back to six-year-old-you, when something devastating happened at the dinner table. I've been talking about it a lot this week, but nobody seems to have experienced it before. Surely somebody understands my pain! (This is what it sounds like when thugs cry.)
6. Shout out to my number one sons Sheida and Nic. I miss you guys like crazy.
7. Aucklanders, listen up! What are you doing this Saturday? The Melanoma Foundation is hosting a 12 hour charity concert at Loft on Queen Street that features your favourite Kiwi musicians like Tim Finn and Don McGlashan. Death to Cancer! Get your tickets now!
8. It's so easy to be one of those people who only halfway commits to anything. If you don't fully commit, you'll always walk away unscathed. Don't try/can't fail is a bullshit philosophy. Don't be one of those people.
9. If I'm not listening to hip hop, I pretty much exclusively listen to sad, sad songs. This one by Jay Z crosses over both categories. Listen to it immediately.
10. On Saturday night I went to The Meatball Shop for dinner. When you go to The Meatball Shop for dinner, you always have to wait about 45 minutes for your table. You have three options: Stand in the tiny entrance alongside 10-20 other people who are also waiting (and hating you in case you get a table before them), go somewhere else and wait for a phone call that may or may not come, or stand at the bar. We stood at the bar. I found a space next to a full-on white boy gangsta and said what up. He shook his head and smirked, turned his back on me, then swung back around. "B*tch, don't say what up to me, you can't even rap!" I contemplated my options for about two seconds, then tapped him on the shoulder. "Motherf***er WHAT!?" I said. "I can rap!" The next 30 minutes were spent rap-battling/disturbing the peace of our fellow patrons. We went through a good portion of Jay Z and Drake's back catalogues, got some Kanye in there, a bit of Eminem, Rick Ross and finished with Wayne. He was from North Philly and he'd travelled to New York to try and win back his girlfriend, who was sitting next to him at the bar. The more he rapped, the more she smiled, and by the time I left, they were holding hands. Halfway through my meal, he came over to me and shook my hand. "Yo Isaac dogg, I think it worked, money!" he said. "My girl said she'll give me a second chance!" I'm still waiting for the day when my impromptu rap skillz get me the girl.

5. Can totally relate. Usually happens when a relationship issue that hasn't been addressed comes pouring out over dinner when you're finally stuck face to face and can't hold it in anymore.... Eating when crying actually hurts. Worst part is, you never feel like finishing your meal...

Re No 7.
I just had a freckle cut out of my back. Whities need to go and get their skin checked. My friend, Brian, died of a melanoma. My neighbour's sister died of melanoma. Rachmaninov died of melanoma. (Who's Rachmaninov ? Yeah, right.) If you have a melanoma you have about six months to cut it out or there is nothing anyone can do. Tres serieux.

We have a wedding to go to tomorrow evening. We got the invitations about 3 months ago. This morning Mein Boo says a friend at work told him what Black Tie means. He told me he thought it means to wear A black tie.
He can't fit into his tuxedo from a few years ago anymore. I told him his suit is well-tailored and I don't have a gown here anyway, but I don't think they'll kick us out because of it. The bride and groom are pretty chill people.
I think we'll manage.
05 10 / 2013
Mein Boo fixed my iPhone!!! The power button works again. For the last couple of months I just waited a minute for it to lock. Unfortunately even with that it led to a few random pocket calls, texts and posts. Took him about 5 hours total, including the time it took him to bike to a shop in the pouring rain this morning to buy a needed part.
03 10 / 2013
Quoth Mein Boo: "They all have such straight, white teeth. And I bet they're all 100% shaved."
A mutually twisted sense of humor can be good for a relationship.
23 9 / 2013
Mein Boo was resting his head between my shoulder and boobie. Or "my shoobie".
16 9 / 2013
Because he, like, totally "gets me".
- 1: You should go back to the spa today and get a massage. One of the long, full body ones.
- 2: Ok.
08 8 / 2013
As Mein Boo sees me off and prepares to head back to Munich, I'm desperately fighting the urge to change into my grey velour pants for the flight.
08 8 / 2013
I'm at Hauptbahnhof, about to take a train to Stuttgart because it was about €500 cheaper for me to fly out of there instead of MUC.
And Mein Boo is coming to Stuttgart with me. At 3AM. Not because he doesn't think I can't handle the trip myself or any such nonsense, but because he wants to spend a few more hours together before I'm gone for a month.
27 7 / 2013
Was just at an anti-Prism protest with Mein Boo. Excellent turnout. Minimal police presence, except the dudes with machine guns outside the American Consulate, where the march started. Apart from that the police cleared the route so protesters were able to march peacefully.
And now, were going to a beer garden.
07 7 / 2013
He's got a pair of swim trunks that still look great on him. The shorts are a bit much. At least he realized.
28 4 / 2013
Habitat successfully unfucked this weekend. Mein Boo cleaned the bathroom, which I thanked him for profusely.
13 3 / 2013
Mein Boo's mother just sent me a nice email wishing before I visit the States for 3 weeks on Saturday.
"I wish you flights without problems or strikes."
04 3 / 2013
Oh so yeah Mein Boo has been sick all Sunday with what I had last week, apparently.
07 2 / 2013
I'm treating myself to a nice late lunch with wahhhhhn, then packing when I get home. Mein Boo and I are going back to Gran Canaria for a week Saturday. At first I thought he needed the vacation way more than I do, since he worked so much around Christmas, but after this week…
Yeah, we both need it. And a warm, sunny place is more or less critical right now.

Derek Jeter played his final All-Star Game but the media didn't ask St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright to clarify comments until it was too late.
Erin Andrews interviewed the Cardinals pitcher late in the game but since the comments had already gone viral, it was too late as the damage had already been done.
"Sometimes my humor goes–gets taken the wrong way," Wainwright told Andrews. "I feel terrible about this. If anyone's taking any credit away from what Derek Jeter has done tonight–I mean, it was mis-said. I made a mistake by that. I hope people realize I'm not intentionally giving hits up out there. I know this game means something. I'm guessing people think I'm trying to give up home runs to Miguel Cabrera too.
"I'm very competitive. I think I said yesterday that I didn't want Derek Jeter to get a hit. I think I said it today, even, before I pitched so I don't know. It's a distraction and I do not want to be a distraction. I wanted it to be all for Derek. If anything is taking away from his moment then I sincerely apologize. At no point in my career have I gone out and intentionally given up hits."
Suffice it to say, the Cardinals pitcher will not be joining Twitter anytime in the near future.
Both Mike Matheny and Wainwright addressed the comments after the game.
Some of the comments:
Wainwright: "What I meant to say was: I'm intentionally trying to throw a strike — and get him out. Which is what I do most of the time."
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 16, 2014
Longer Wainwright quote in which he says "I made a mistake" and "I'm an idiot." He was exceedingly contrite. pic.twitter.com/hvVLJAhTQv
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 16, 2014
Wainwright said media not to blame for interpreting his words like it did: "You didn't hear me say everybody's idiots for thinking that."
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 16, 2014
Wainwright: "I was intentionally trying to throw strikes to get him out. 'Piping one' was the wrong phrase to use."
— Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) July 16, 2014
Wainwright: "I'm an idiot. … I messed up but I didn't try to give up a hit. I didn't mess up that way. I messed up in the way I spoke"
— Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) July 16, 2014
Matheny on Waino's comments: "Unfortunately people couldn't pick up the tone, pick up the humor, and ran with it in the wrong direction."
— Tom Ackerman (@Ackerman1120) July 16, 2014
Nobody's perfect and we all make mistakes. I know that I'm guilty of speaking without thinking.

Obama guidance & press schedule Nov. 1, 2, 2014 Stumping for Dems
President Barack Obama hits Michigan, Pennsylvania and Connecticut on Saturday and Sunday to stump for Democratic candidates in advance of the Tuesday election. First lady Michelle Obama campaigns in Moline on Saturday for Gov. Pat Quinn, Sen. Dick Durbin D-Ill. and Rep. Cheri Bustos D-Ill.

GOP to sit out countywide races? All part of the plan, party says
I can confidently predict there will be exactly zero votes tallied on Tuesday for the 2014 Republican candidate for Cook County Board president. That's because, as anyone who has already voted here has been reminded, there is no Republican candidate for County Board president this year.

Obama, Michelle, making robocalls for Quinn; POTUS for Schneider
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle have recorded get-out-the vote calls for Gov. Pat Quinn, targeting likely Democratic voters in the closing days before the Tuesday election. The president also taped a call for Rep. Brad Schneider D-Ill., ringing phones on Friday hitting on key themes aimed at motivating the Democratic base: the Tea Party, minimum wage and equal pay for women.
Campaign hits, runs and errors
No, Alice, all gay men do not look alike. But if you live in the northern suburbs of Lake County where an Illinois House race is hard fought, you might wonder if that isn't the subtext of a campaign mailer attacking incumbent Democratic state Rep. Sam Yingling. Or maybe worse, that it's just a dumb mistake.

Insulting Netanyahu was a bad idea
At a time when Islamist fanaticism is roiling the Middle East and the Islamic State is on the march in Syria and Iraq, the Obama administration insults Israel, our only reliable ally in the region, by mocking Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a barnyard epithet for coward. Disrespecting a friend is no way to conduct foreign policy or impress allies in these troubled times.

It's not too late to be early!
Despite our name, we don't advocate voting "early and often." Early, yes. Often, no. Unless you consider Illinois' frequent elections to cover the "often" part. But either way, you still have a couple of days to "early vote." And this time, you can even vote on Sunday

Originally written on Baseball Professor | Last updated 10/22/14
Every year Jon Jay seems to oscillate between "best name on free agency" and "most expendable player on someone's roster." He never keeps either distinction for too long, but no one can seem to figure out exactly where he belongs. Last year Jay ranked 126th overall, which would seem to indicate that he deserves a full-time roster spot in leagues of any depth — particularly deep leagues — but much of that value is tied up in his ability to hit for a .300 average over 500 plate appearances with the speed to steal more than a handful of bases. Unfortunately, Jay doesn't do much else. His home run power is almost nonexistent, he doesn't hit enough extra base hits to drive runners home or have a positive impact in leagues that count slugging, and he hits at the bottom of the lineup, which hurts his run-scoring potential. Still, he's a full-time outfielder who does a little of almost anything, but sure can hit for average. At a Glance Strengths: BA, OBP Neutral: R, SB Weaknesses: HR, RB...

2 (15 ounce) can 100% Pure Pumpkin
3-4 tbsp liquid stevia
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
4 whole eggs
6 scoops Jay Robb Egg White Protein Powder (unflavored or vanilla)
Put all the wet ingredients in a bowl and blend with a mixer, then add the dry ingredients and blend till well mixed. Bake at 325, in an lightly oiled pan for about 23-26 min. Depending on your oven, gas or electric. The traditional pumpkin pie recipe calls for dried milk, but the egg protein powder I believe makes it work without it. You can adjust the sweetness with the stevia or agave syrup?? **Stevia takes a lot more when cooked and a very small amount when added to cold stuff, it's a little temperamental;-)

This is a simple recipe for scones, made with blanched almond flour and vanilla. They are based on a French macaroon style of recipe and what I love about these is that they are so simple to make and are delicious served plain or topped with your favourite whole fruit jam. I often grab one as a quick breakfast or morning tea with my morning coffee as it easily fills me up until lunch time. Please read below for other healthy scone options.
What's good about them:
These scones are designed to be gluten and grain free which is perfect for those who are on paleo eating plans as well as for the management of IBS. They are high in complete protein as well as being low GI, so they will fill you up, keep blood sugars steady and help your body repair and recover.
3 cups (300 g / 10 ½ oz) almond meal / ground almonds / almond flour
2 teaspoons gluten free baking powder or ¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup (60ml / 2 oz) ) macadamia nut oil or (cold pressed coconut oil or almond oil)

Re: String hashing code
I prefer not to escape to non-XSLT, because I am providing this as part of a library that needs to run on almost any XSLT 2.0 platform.
A while back I posted the XSLT 2.0 code necessary to create a UUID, close enough to the thoughts behind a UUID to be reasonably globally unique (but without the network interface number etc). The idea was to create an XSLT-only and portable solution. It's a simple function that however often you call it, even within one run, without using extension functions, always produces a unique string.

Suspected key bookie Jitendra Singh alias Jeetu was arrested by the Delhi Police in the IPL spot-fixing scandal from Ahmedabad on Friday, 40 days after the scam surfaced. The sleuths of elite Special Cell of Delhi Police arrested Singh from Ahmedabad after zeroing on him in the wake of arrest of three cricketers - S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan along with several of bookies and fixers. The police claimed that they had a transcript which shows Singh being in constant touch with Chandresh Patel alias Chand and was fixing deals ahead of every cricket match. According to police, Singh was sponsoring travel and other activities of both the bookies as they provided him with an access to all the three cricketers. Bookies - Chand and Manan - are alleged to have been supplying women to Sreesanth for which the money, according to Delhi Police, was also being sent by Singh. Singh, originally a resident of Ahmedabad, had been on the run for the last 40 days and sleuths had been tracking him since then. Police claimed that his arrest may give fresh leads into the murkier scandal that rocked the sporting extravaganza. Both Chand and Manan are out on bail and Police may now ask them to appear before them for a fresh round of questioning, the sources said.

Every NFL team has needs. Even the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens. The Miami Dolphins have needs as well. Some are far more important that others. The question is why do we have these needs to begin with? For starters, poor drafting and poor free agency moves create needs. A teams own free agent departures, retirements, and yes, poor play also create needs.
With the NFL Draft a few short weeks away, it's time to take a look at the Miami Dolphins needs.
Offensive Line: Jonathan Martin played good but not great following his move to left tackle after Jake Long left for the injury list. Some believe that Martin is capable of playing the left side permanently but he will need to get stronger in the off-season to make that happen. There are questions as to whether or not the Dolphins view him as a solution to the left side. If they do, they have no need for a top LT but they will have a need for a RT. If they do not, then the need for a LT becomes glaring.
The departure of Jake Long was neither a shock nor unexpected. The Dolphins did not value Long like Long valued himself and that kept the team from making a run at him prior to the start of free agency. This years FA market at the position was weak and while the Dolphins still have options, either RT or LT will be a top need heading into the draft.
TE: The Dolphins made a big attempt to land free agent TE Jared Cook but lost out. The did however add former New York Jet TE Dustin Keller. However the team currently employs only Keller, coming off an injured 2012, Michael Egnew a major disappointment thus far, Kyle Miller who has no experience, and flex HB/TE Charles Clay currently on the roster.
Keller's deal is for one year and with the loss of Anthony Fasano the Dolphins, while not having a glaring hole at the position, needs to have a second TE for their two tight sets. The Dolphins will likely address this position in the draft and many believe they will draft a top TE in the first three rounds. Regardless, the team lacks more than a suitable starter opposite Keller. They lack depth of any kind. The Dolphins do not possess a clear replacement for Keller should he miss time.
WR: The Dolphins spent a ton of money on the WR position this off-season. They re-signed Brian Hartline, added Michael Wallace, and slot receiver Brandon Gibson. They have on their roster Davone Bess but Bess is entering his final season of his contract and while he is a great asset to the possession game, he adds little in terms of down-field threat. The Dolphins' Jeff Ireland recently made comment to the fact that they have added solid WR's to the team and that they still had the draft to come.
It's obvious that the Dolphins do "need" another WR, they surely have the picks to address the position and if the opportunity presents itself to find another speed WR, they may take that shot.
RB: Miami allowed Reggie Bush to leave for Detroit VIA free agency without hesitation. They firmly believe that Lamar Miller, entering his sophomore season will be more than adequate to fill Bush's role. Marcus Thigpen is expected to see increased opportunity as well. The issue lies with Daniel Thomas who is not presenting himself as a reliable goal line and short yardage runner.
DE/OLB: To say that the team will be fine with Olivier Vernon and Koa Misi means you didn't watch a lot of football last season. The Dolphins lack a consistent edge pass rusher and while Vernon showed an improvement and Misi proved he can play to support the run, neither showed enough to believe they can play opposite Cameron Wake. The Dolphins have a very solid front line and it could be one of the best in the league. Still, without a pressing pass rusher on 3rd downs creates a need.
CB: The Dolphins traded Vontae' Davis and let Sean Smith leave for Kansas City. They signed a one year deal with Brent Grimes who is coming off an Achilles injury. They have Richard Marshall returning and Dimitri Patterson in the fold but there is no question that the Dolphins need to upgrade both sides of the field at the position. The Dolphins don't lack depth they lack unquestionable starters at the position.
S: Reshad Jones played very well last year and emerged as leader but the Dolphins still lack a ball hawking safety. Depth is thin but in reality there is a big gap between Jones and whomever lines up next to him. The Dolphins need to find a solution to that situation and give them two hard hitting safeties to control the deep field.
