I just wanted to share a quick tutorial with you today (with a free pattern).Little Chloe spits up...a lot. And I don't have many burp cloths. So I wanted to make some real quick with items I had on hand in my stash. So I used cotton and fleece I had left over from Ric Rac Recieving blankets.
-9 1/2" x 13 1/2" flannel (at least)
Repeat with the flannel.Line them up right-sides together.Pin.Sew 1/4" from the edge, all the way around, leaving a 3-4" gap at the top of one end of the burp cloth for turning.Turn right sides out and press.Top stitch 1/8" all the way around.Do a second top stitch 1/4" all the way around (if desired. I like the look of it)And that's it!!I also did this one with ric rac around the edges! To do that, use the method from my Ric Rac Recieving Blanket tutorial.Let me know if you have any questions!! And if you make some, add them to my Flickr group!! I'd love to see them!!

Bring the cinema home with the versatile Sony VPL-HW50ES. It projects stunning 1080p 2D and 3D performance1 with bright, vibrant picture, plus a 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and 2D to 3D up-scaling2. Paired with a whisper-quiet fan and ultra-smooth playback with Motionflow™ technology, this projector is worth the price of admission. Additional lamp included.
"I can't think of any other quality projector not costing far more, that can match the calibrated brightness of the HW50 projector...if I was shopping for a sub $5000 projector for my theater at this time, I believe it would be my top choice."
– Art Feierman, Projector Reviews
Ten years in the making, Sony's proprietary Reality Creation processing means that unlike most projectors that can only attempt at faithfully reproducing a 1080p signal, the VPL-HW50ES reproduces the original image prior to compression to achieve 1080p. Reality Creation works by analyzing each pixel, cross-referencing it to an internal database of images and patterns, then replacing the missing data resulting from compression. The result? A 1080p image that is clearer, sharper and more lifelike.
Want the perfect picture in your home theater? Get rich, deep black levels resulting from a 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. You'll also have no problem projecting right through ambient light brilliantly thanks to 1,700 ANSI lumen brightness.
Recreate a more authentic cinematic experience with the capability to eliminate black bars during movies. The VPL-HW50ES supports anamorphic 2.35 when paired with an external lens.
The optional rechargeable 3D glasses work in perfect harmony with the integrated 3D emitter and Sony's dynamic lamp control technology for vibrant, cinema-quality 3D entertainment.
144 zone panel alignment function allows for +/-2 pixels in 0.1 pixel increments – allowing you to align the panels perfectly for optimal picture quality. This functionality allows you to correct for potential chromatic aberration caused by an external anamorphic lens.
Keep your motion smooth and sharp. With Sony's Motionflow technology with Dark Frame Insertion and 24p True Cinema™ technologies you'll avoid artifacts and any pixelated or blurred motion.

Just over a week after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, relief efforts around the world continue to ramp up — and Nashville's music community is pitching in.
Contemporary Christian music star Michael W. Smith has written a song to benefit Haiti relief efforts with Cindy Morgan and David Mullen titled "We Are One." The music was recorded at Ocean Way Nashville on Tuesday, and Smith plans to have a group of to-be-named local music stars in the studio next Wednesday to provide vocals.
"We don't want to try to pull off a 'We Are the World,' but you can't help but sort of compare it to that," Smith said. "We're (drawing from) the Nashville community of artists and seeing if we can pull something together that could ultimately raise millions of dollars."
Smith said that so far, all parties involved in creating the song have provided their services free of charge.
"There's no studio fee. The musicians who played today are all double-scale — no fee, no (fees to transport equipment), and I would venture to say that any artist that shows up is not going to expect to be paid," Smith said. "There's a possibility that we literally pull this whole thing off without spending one penny."
Along with efforts in the studio, Smith and a host of other local performers will also be taking to the stage to raise money.

But there's a glaring exception: The Erie County Care Facility, located at Osborn Park in Huron Township. It's owned and run by Erie County's government and is given an overall rating of only one out of five stars by the site. That's a rating the site translates as "Much Below Average."
The county nursing home is rated "Below Average" for health inspections, "Average" for staffing and "Much Below Average" for quality ratings.
Some of the common indicators for underperforming nursing homes aren't present at the Erie County Care Facility. Inspectors found only a few deficiencies during the last inspection, and the
deficiencies weren't major.
But Medicare spokeswoman Elizabeth Surgener said the overall one-star rating for the home is accurate and said it largely reflects the home's poor score in quality measures.
A technical users guide says the five-star rating for quality measures is calculated using nine indicators.
Out of the nine, Erie County's nursing home scores better than the state average for three but worse than the state average for six.
The home scored especially badly in three quality measures. More than 17 percent of its long-term residents had urinary tract infections, versus a state average of 8.3 percent and a national average of 7.6 percent.
The percentage of long-term residents reporting moderate to severe pain was 24.2 percent, versus an average of 13.6 percent for Ohio and 11.6 nationally. And the percentage of long-term residents who are physically restrained was 10.6 percent, versus 2.8 percent in Ohio and 2.2 percent nationally.
The home currently does not have an administrator, and the county commissioners are searching for one, commissioner Bill Monaghan said.
"We're working on getting that addressed and getting our score up," said Donna Patrick, director of nursing at Erie County Care Facility.
Patrick said by working with a quality improvement organization, Ohio KePRO, the nursing home has reduced the number of physically restrained residents to 3 percent. The nursing home also is working to reduce pain and urinary tract infections, she said.
The home may have a chance to raise its rating. This week, state inspectors were at the nursing home for an annual survey, and that visit should generate a written report in a few weeks. The health department's report will be released as a public record after it's been given to the nursing home, said Tessie Pollock, a spokeswoman for the department.
Monaghan said he was surprised to hear the county's nursing home has such a low rating.
"I go there on a weekly basis," said Monaghan, who said the building is kept in good shape.
"The place is immaculate. They do an outstanding job," he said.
Monaghan said he also sometimes eats at the nursing home to make sure the food is OK.
Erie County's nursing home is hindered by the federal government's payment schedule, which classifies Erie County as a rural county but classifies Ottawa County as a metropolitan county, which receives better payments, Monaghan said.
"If we were classified the same as Ottawa County, we'd be getting half a million dollars more," Monaghan said.
During the past decade, the Erie County Care Facility has lost about $3.8 million.
Pat Shenigo, another county commissioner, said county officials have worked hard to upgrade the center and the improvements are ongoing.
"We're working really hard to bring ourselves into the 21st century," he said.
The home will get an improved rehabilitation area, Shenigo said. That will attract Medicare patients, who receive a higher reimbursement rate than Medicaid patients, he said.

Sodick Co. Ltd. is a global manufacturer of electric discharge machining (EDM) tools, machine tools that use electrical energy to create molds and precision components for a wide variety of industries. The company is based in Yokohama, Japan and has more than 300 employees, with 29 subsidiary companies operating around the world.
Business Challenge: Protect Customers' Business Networks
Sodick's solutions have evolved to meet its customers' requirements as factories have become increasingly networked to accommodate the use of CAD and CAM systems and real-time production management. While machining programs were originally created in a standalone environment directly on the EDM device, networking has enabled the programs to be developed on PCs and then ported across the network to the EDM tool.
This enables the tool to stay in production while the program is being developed. Also, real-time monitoring of the EDM tools' operation and production status is now done using PCs that are linked over the network to the tools. Introducing any device into a network poses a potential security threat. Like many EDM systems, Sodick's machine tools use the Microsoft Windows Embedded operating system and, as such, are at risk for viruses and other malware. If infected, EDM solutions can malfunction and bring production to a standstill.
Sodick needed a solution that would give its customers peace of mind and ensure compliance with their internal security policies for connecting equipment to their business networks. Sodick also sought a security solution that would be cost-effective to meet customers' budget requirements. "Our objective was to show our customers that we've created an environment in which antivirus measures are taken and security is ensured as a matter of course," says Takashi Sawazaki, marketing manager at Sodick.
McAfee Solution: A Whitelist Approach to Embedded Security
To meet these requirements, Sodick chose McAfee® Embedded Control—a solution that secures embedded systems and the systems they contain while maximizing uptime, reducing support costs, and helping ensure compliance. "With McAfee Embedded Control, we're able to build security right into our manufacturing process, easily and cost-effectively," Sawazaki says.
McAfee Embedded Control creates a dynamic whitelist of programs authorized for the Sodick EDM control systems, and then blocks any programs or code snippets outside of the authorized set. No unauthorized changes, not even Microsoft patches, can be made, and an audit trail logs all access attempts.
"Security is essential, but ideally the means used to ensure it should be almost imperceptible. McAfee Embedded Control has helped us achieve that ideal."Takashi Sawazaki, Marketing Manager
Why McAfee: Unique Embedded Security
"We had considered many different antivirus software packages, but they were all designed for PCs and were not suited to machine tools," Sawazaki says. "McAfee was the only vendor that could provide the fully embedded security solution we needed, and its whitelist approach strengthens security while placing a smaller burden on the network control device."
Benefit: Security Behind the Scenes
With only authorized programs "whitelisted" to run on the Sodick EDM control systems, McAfee Embedded Control runs quietly in the background without having to slow the system down for a virus scan. In the rare event that a virus file is introduced via the network or recordable media, McAfee Embedded Control immediately blocks the threat and removes the risk of the machine tool becoming the source of infection.
"Our customers' engineers can use the machine tools as they have always done, without having to think about security," Sawazaki says. "Security is essential, but ideally the means used to ensure it should be almost imperceptible. McAfee Embedded Control has helped us achieve that ideal."

OPOWER Encourages Efficiency With Energy Report Cards
Most Americans would have a fit if their credit card or cell phone company sent a dollar amount at the end of the month with no itemized description to match. But we tolerate it from our utility companies with little complaint. If we're going to change our energy habits, we're going to need more information to do it. What kinds of information motivate consumers and what kinds irritate them? OPOWER, an energy efficiency software company, is betting that a new version of an old classic — the report card — will strike the right balance.
OPOWER generates energy efficiency report cards, which utilities then send with customer bills. A colorful bar graph compares the recipient's monthly energy consumption to his or her neighbors'. No names are used: The comparison is based on the average use of 100 neighbors with similar-sized houses. A second chart compares the recipient's use to his or her most energy-efficient neighbors'. Those who do well get a smiley face; those at the top of their energy class get two. (There are no frowny faces.)
The idea is that the easy-to-understand graphics show consumers how much lower their bills could be and motivate them to get there with a mix of positive reinforcement and good, old-fashioned peer pressure. Recipients generally save 2 to 3 percent — which ain't enough to combat climate change, but it is significant.

I love this. One of the big issues with our monstrous energy consumption is that we simply have no idea how we stack up against our friends, neighbors, etc.
As soon as we know how we compare, people will be stimulated to do better (at least I hope).

A woman who was raped by a Limestone County man is in shock after a judge handed down a sentence without prison time Thursday.
A jury convicted Austin Smith Clem on one count of forcible rape after she turned sixteen, and on two counts of second-degree rape that happened when she was younger.
Courtney Andrews turned to WAFF first to reveal her identity to the public, saying that she wanted everyone to know how this is affecting her and her family.
Judge James Woodroof declined to comment about the sentence he gave Clem. The sentence gives 30 years of prison time, but the judge suspended that and gave Clem four years of community corrections, during which time Clem can live at home, and six years of supervised probation. In addition, Clem must register as a sex offender. If Clem follows the guidelines, he stays out of prison.
Courtney Andrews said she was shocked and baffled when the judge read the sentence Wednesday.
"How do you react to that? To know that he gets to go home to his three little girls, and live there with them, watch them grow," she said.
"He's still not paying for any of it. When does he have to pay? Because he still hasn't had to. That's the thing. I have to pay for the rest of my life. I've been paying since I was 13 years old," Andrews said.
Andrews said Clem, who was a family friend, began molesting her at that age.
"I was thinking finally I stood up and I'm not afraid anymore. Finally happy for the first time, I can say, in my entire life. And now's the day I'm not going to walk around scared anymore, because I'm going to know he's behind bars," she said.
Courtney Andrews said she has a message for Judge Woodroof.
"It's been proven guilty, guilty... however many times guilty, and you're going to put him back on the streets with all these people. I don't know how that's okay with you," she said.
Clem was released after Thursday's hearing.
The Colbert County district attorney said he was "reviewing options" to set aside the sentence.

The Difference Between Singapore and Malaysia : A Story
Lee Hsien Long.... restecpah
A few months back the wife and me went to Singapore for the third leg of our honeymoon. Yes.. when you are a blogger perasan bagus like me you have to embark on many leg honeymoon. Reason being because of 20 plus years of masturbation, my kneecaps no longer strong enough to do a 2 week long honeymoon in one go. Just so you know the first leg was Penang followed by Langkawi and then Singapore
So anyway while we were in Singapore something awesome happened. We were walking toward the Singapore Flyer on the second day when suddenly we saw 4 police outriders and 2 silver Mercedes Benz stopping at an intersection. At that exact moment we were crossing the road. Now. Usually in Malaysia when VIPs come barreling down the road like a bat out of hell you better not be blocking their way. Also in Malaysia our VIP have this fascination with convoying in number like an A-List RAP star. Seeing a convoy with less than 3 cars in Malaysia is like seeing an article on the Virtues of Buddhism written by Hassan Ali. It is that damn rare or nigh impossible
So anyway we reached the other side of the street and I looked to my right to see who is this VIP that waited for the padestrian to cross the road before continuing his journey. Guess what? It was Prime Minister Lee Hsien Long. Yes! Fucking Lee Hsien Long with his entire entourage who was probably on their way to Marina Bay Sands. I was absolutely shocked. The wife suddenly blurted out.
"Is that who I think it is?"
"Yes Sayang that is who you think it is"
So why is this such a big deal for both of us? As I said our honeymoon required us to drive up and down the Malaysia highway. During the trip we encountered a few other VIP convoys. All these Malaysian convoys bawak kereta like haram. Driving at excessive speed and police outrider shouting at people to basically GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY for these VIPs. One such incident was in Johor. There was a fork in the road. One leads to Senai while another to Johor Bahru town. I needed to go to the left. We were about 200 meters to this intersection and suddenly we heard "ketepi! ketepi!" from the read of our vehicle. Four police outrider and 3 other "luxury SUVs" were speeing in excess of 160 KMH on the middle of the 3 laned highway. Now remember I needed to go STRAIGHT in order to go to JB. If I move to the left as ordered by the police, i would end up entering Senai. But this is Malaysia. You dont have a choice. When the police shouted KETEPI you have to ketepi. At the very last minute I have to swerve to the left and let them pass. The fucked up part was they are also GOING To the left. So why they fuck did they screamed at me to ketepi when I was driving on the right lane going straight instead of left. That left me fuming. Now I have to dodge a few cars that are also exiting toward Senai while I have to somehow cross back to the right just because one asshole VIP wants to get to his destination quickly while at the same time ignoring the speed limit like jalan itu jalan bapak dia.
So there.
A short story that pretty much tell you the a lot about the mentality of the VIPs in Malaysia vs the VIPs in Singapore.
Is it any wonder why Singapore is a much better and LAWFUL place than us? If the Prime Minister can wait his turn and obey the road rules without any exception, no wonder the Singaporean Rakyat also can follow the rules like a well trained circus lion.
Oh well. For more stories on my Singapore adventure tune in next time. When will that be? I dunno LUL!

Once saw @KhairyKJ car hit the red light in Putrajaya with police escort.
And once been to Singapore, yes, Lee Hsien Loong to Istana at Orchard Road. Still can wait for the red light.
Well, some people says "what do you expect Singapore" - you can pick a picture of two coasts at Changi in one picture. It's a small island. If compared to Kuala Lumpur the size might be like from Shah Alam to Ampang and that's it.
One thing I like about Singapore is there's so many underpass so I can cross the road in safe, and comfortable. And I also feel save, walking at Bugis Street and I didn't feel threaten like when I'm walking alone in Petaling Street.
And yet, Utusan says Malaysia is the safest country in South East Asia.
And heterosexual is gay. Whatever.

Ive been long waiting for a proper post in FOA. The FOA defines you, Obe.
Hoping for a good writing from you. :)
- March 26, 2012 at 11:57 PM
Obe, i thought FOA is dead. You know what, i really like your writing and your opinion, and it only shows in this FOA blog. Not in the Blogserius. So, really hope that you can regularly update this dying blog.
On another note, what do you expect from so called VIPs of Malaysia? They're fucking pampered like a baby. Now you are talking about "RAKYAT DIUTAMAKAN"? The HELL!

bukan kau pun penah ke jadi vip mcm tu masa naik bas (kau penah post dulu, bas kau kena escort ngan polis)siap cakap kau rasa seronok bila orang lain bagi laluan kat bas kau....kalau aku tak silap la(tp aku rasa, aku tak silap)
- March 27, 2012 at 1:49 AM
Eheheheh ye la aku ingat jugak obe pernah tulis pasal kena escort dgn polis tu. hehe.
Anyway speaking of VIPs in malaysia, aku masih x faham knp diorg nak kena lalu jugak pagi2 time jem peak hours tu siap berescort bagai. Takde masa lain ke nak lalu? Org lain pun nak cepat jugak. Blardihel betol.

Lol, VIP in Malaysia actually stands for Very Idiot People.
That day I went to visit the Parlimen, and a DAP representative was in the middle of a presentation, most of the BN people just screaming rude words at the DAP lady like a bunch of hooligans.
I even saw a guy sat there playing video game on his handphone. No respect for the Speaker Dewan at all.
BTW, I'm glad FOA is alive again.

Walau-leh, did you'll relies that you'll Malaysian go over to other people country for jalan-jalan only already think big and good about other country,been here in Singapore over 25 years, nothing great about them here, ours is better, even their people mostly move to our country. Not many genuine citizens around to speak out against government,they speak up they go to court leh, not like you'll happly can kutuk our leader without respect, no civic minded, newpaper not transparent, only good thing about them is publish, reality is opposite. But remember half of the population in this tiny dot country is foreigners and they they need another 3 millions foreigners to mark up 6 millions population, so you'll can offer yourself since you believe your people and county is suck. Be proud of you flag and country otherwise offer yourself to the country need more people loh... See if their great VIP want you lol, lol, lol. For better country start with yourself first. Live in other people country then you know loh!

'...no wonder the Singaporean Rakyat also can follow the rules like a well trained circus lion.'
true, but there's a problem. Once a Singaporean is out of Singapore, mcm just lepas je Tambak Johor, masuk Johor, they don't follow the rules at all!!
Yang byk speeding gila babi kat Johor tu byk rakyat Singapura juga.
That's the problem of a trained circus lion. Dalam sangkar dia baik. Keluar sangkar dia baham tuan dia.
Kalau dah macam tu, ada guna ke semua 'training' yg diberi itu?

Australian confused after lacklustre fifth-place finish in home race
Local hope Mark Webber can't wait to go racing again – and forget a frustrating fifth-place finish after starting from third place on the grid.
The 34-year-old equalled his best finish at Albert Park but was left disappointed after teammate Sebastian Vettel dominated the race from pole. Webber trailed the reigning World Champion by an enormous 38.171secs at the end of the race, and was at a loss to explain his lack of pace.
"It was frustrating. I wanted to get more out of the car and I think we could have got more out of it today," he said.
Webber made a strong start and almost out-dragged Lewis Hamilton into Turn 1, but couldn't stay with race leader Vettel and the McLaren driver in the early stages. He later dropped behind Ferrari's Fernando Alonso for fourth, and while the pair hunted down Renault's Vitaly Petrov in the closing stages, neither could make it past.
Webber was keen to put his 10th Australian Grand Prix in the rear-vision mirror as soon as possible, saying: "I wish it was already tomorrow."
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner admitted the team needed to investigate the reasons behind Webber's drop in speed from Saturday onwards, calling the margin between the two drivers "unusual".
"We need to go through things with a fine-tooth comb and understand where those differences are," Horner said.
"Mark was very hard on the tyres (so) that created more degradation. We need to find out if there's something perhaps in the car that is contributing to that. We couldn't find it yesterday, but we'll certainly have a very, very good look before Malaysia."

Chicago Cubs Details
|All MLB Tickets
|See all MLB tickets
- Opening Day Game: April 5th vs St. Louis Cardinals
- Opening Day Ticket Prices: $156.50
- Home Opener: 4/13 vs Philadelphia Phillies
3/25/15: This year, it is the Chicago Cubs turn to come under fire for not starting one of their top prospects in the majors. They plan to have third baseman Kris Bryant start the season in the minors for a few weeks, then bring him up to the big leagues. That will allow the Cubs to postpone one year of major league eligibility, so they get to keep him for an extra year for the cost of a few weeks now. It makes sense to do so, though many, including Bryant's agent are upset about it. He is hardly the first player this has happened to and will not be the last.
3/18/15: The Chicago Cubs faithful are ready for the 2015 season. They want to finally be able to claim that it is 'Their Year' - something they have not been able to say since just after the Gilded Age. They got a glimpse of the future last week when prospects Jorge Soler, Javier Baez and Kris Bryant hit home runs consecutively for the extremely rare back to back to back. As exciting as that was, the Cubs lost the game. That does not matter since it was spring training. More alarming is that they had to shut down pitcher Jacob Turner for a month as he was competing for a rotation spot.
3/11/15: While signing ace Jon Lester was the big pitching move the Cubs made this offseason, it is not the only one. They were in on getting James Shields, who admitted that his decision came down to Chicago and San Diego (he chose to go to the rock star Padres). Just last week, the team signed veteran pitcher Phil Coke to a minor league deal. He will likely serve as bullpen depth. He is effective as a specialist - that specialty being pitching to left handed batters. If the Cubs can keep him only in those situations, then he could be an effective arm again, even in the majors.
3/4/15: It is always interesting when a disgraced player comes back to be a coach or advisor. There are always doubts that he is teaching kids the wrong thing or concerns that his presence is a bad influence. In any case, the Cubs made Manny Ramirez a hitting coach in the minor leagues last season - and he earned rave reviews. This season he will be a consultant to the Cubs at the big league level. He actually played for new manager John Maddon a few years ago in Tampa. That was, until, he was about to be hit with a long suspension for PED use and then he left the team. Regardless, they like him in Chicago, and honestly, the guy could rake in his day.
2/25/15: We are not too far off from actually seeing what the new look Cubs will be like on the field. They have been pretty active in getting free agents - not just pitcher John Lester, but other guys like Dexter Fowler and Miquel Montero. Basically adding veterans to add to their talented core of players. They have lost a lot of games over the past two seasons and this is the season they are expected to break through. Currently, they are expected to win about 83 games, which would put them over .500 for the season with a chance for a wild-card spot.
2/5/15: It is never easy for the Cubs. The team had move mountains to be able to renovate the bleachers at Wrigley Field, a move that angered the owners of the rooftop stands outside the stadium. Then came news that the construction was behind schedule and would not be finished in time for the start of the season. Now, the reports state that the renovations has forced legions of rats into the Wrigleyville neighborhood. Rats are a common problem in major metropolitan areas, but this situation begs the question of if hundreds of rats were simply living in the old stadium. At least the Cubs organization was ranked with the best farm system.
1/28/15: The Cubs organization and indeed the City of Chicago is mourning the loss of legend Ernie Banks. Banks, also known as Mr. Cub, was among the greatest ambassadors of the game and hall of famer, passed away at age 83. Banks joined the Cubs in 1954 and was the team's first African-American player. He was runner up for rookie of the year and ended up spending 19 years in Chicago. He finished his career with 512 homer runs and a stat line of .274/.330/.500. He has been the face of the franchise since he retired and will certainly be missed.
1/21/15: It is January, so players are getting ready to get back into the playing again, which means two things: 1. A lot of talk about player X being in "the best shape of his life", and 2. A lot of false bravado. The Cubs are not short on that winter bravery, perhaps because they are armed with a few new weapons and a new manager. Mike Rizzo even went as far as to say the Cubs would win the National League Central this year. Chicago is certainly headed in the right direction, but established teams like St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh may have something to say about that.
1/14/15: The Cubs have their own way of doing things and those unorthodox methods have resulted in exactly zero World Series Championships in the past 108 years. It was not that long ago that Sammy Sosa was the toast of Chicago when he hit 60 or more home runs for three straight years. He is not as welcome as he used to be and was not invited (again) to the annual Cubs Convention. Apparently he has some fences to mend before he will be welcome back. In other news, the Cubs' spring training facility will take the sponsor name of a company that makes devices that help toilets flush.
1/7/15: The Cubs made a lot of noise this offseason, setting the expectations for the next few years at sky-high levels. The biggest acquisitions were manager Joe Maddon and ace Jon Lester. Lester will cost them $155 million over six years. So are the Cubs now contenders? Fans and media say yes, but history says no. Remember, they have stumbled in the past in handing out big money for name brand free agents. Chicago is doing a good job of developing prospects and will soon get a windfall of cash from their TV contract, so it is possible that the Cubs' time is coming soon.
12/3/14: The Cubs continue to add to their organization, the latest being the addition of Henry Blanco as the team's quality assurance coach. It seems that Chicago is the destination of choice these days, and for good reason. The team has many prospects that are ready to compete at the big league level, not to mention a highly sought-after head coach. The Cubs are also flush with cash and look to be making some big moves this offseason to get coveted free agents, which may include ace pitcher Max Scherzer. Cubby-Nation has to feel pretty good about the upcoming year, and pitchers and catchers report to spring training in just a couple of months.
11/19/14: The Chicago Cubs are a fascinating team to watch this offseason. Since Theo Epstein took over operations a few years ago, they have stressed developing their own prospects to create a sustainable, competitive team. Indeed, the Cubs have among the deepest farm systems in the majors with a lot of top prospects. However, and maybe this is due to their new lucrative TV deal, they seem to be targeting all the top (expensive) free agents on the market. That includes pitchers Max Scherzer and Jon Lester. They are also, reportedly, trying to acquire Jordan Zimmerman from Washington. It was not that long ago that the Cubs pledged $300 million to big names in hopes of contending. That failed miserably, which is a major reason why the Cubs have been at the bottom of the league in wins for a while now. Those that do not learn from history...
Renewed Interest in Rivalry between Cubs and White Sox
With the Crosstown Classic fast approaching, the Cubs' resurgence is reversing a recent downward trend in Chicago's enthusiasm about baseball, as well as the Sox-Cubs rivalry in particular.

Where to Watch New Doctor Who…
One of the questions we are asked often is how to watch the new (2010) episodes of Doctor Who. As one might guess, these questions for the most part come from outside of the UK. Obviously for those in the UK, one just has to check the Radio Times listings to see where and when they can watch new episodes of Doctor Who on the various BBC channels and/or the BBC iPlayer.
Outside of the UK though, it is trickier, but there are various choices. It comes down to the digital medium, be it digital downloads, streaming, or on a physical disc or transmission/broadcast medium (which today is digital as well, but we get too technical here).
Doctor Who Premiere is the Highest Rated Telecast Ever on BBC America!
BBC America had its ratings records broken with the premiere of Doctor Who this past Saturday, the 17th of April, 2010. It delivered 1.2 million viewers (live and same day viewers) making it the highest rated telecast ever for BBC America! Doctor Who is also the currently the number 1 TV series in the Apple iTunes store (see links below).
Here is a breakdown of the ratings for Doctor Who: The Eleventh Hour on BBC America:
|The Doctor Who premiere on Saturday, April 17 was BBC AMERICA's best Live + Same Day P2+ rating (.68) and delivery ever (1,196,000).
|The Doctor Who premiere on Saturday, April 17 was BBC AMERICA's best Live + Same Day A25-54 rating (.89) and delivery ever (682,000).
|In Live + Same Day coverage rating, BBC AMERICA premiere beat SYFY's season premieres for Doctor Who seasons 2-4 in P2+ and P25-54.

Avafind mini review by babis, upon brotherS request
The main window launches by hitting shift & escape instantly. Then by start typing the second letter the program starts to present results, which can appear in 2 views, detailed showing filename, size and location and basic showing only filename, as the following snaps. The main results window offers some nice options when right-click on a result and anytime if choose Explorer Options it will show you all the typical explorer options. All operations of Avafind can be done through keyboard, no need for using mouse at anytime.
Avafind remembers your choice, this means that if I type word and then decide to launch the winword.exe from the results (by pressing enter), then the next time when I type word, the winword.exe will be highlighted and by pressing the tab it will bring you directly at the result selected at the previous similar search string.
This is a very big advantage over similar programs, as the first time you have to scroll to the list of first results until find the target but then it will remember choice and drive you directly to the result previously selected, similarly to find and run robot (but not quite, as in farr you don't have to press tab and also the desired result appears from the first or second letter typed)
The main advantage of Avafind however is the index-on-the-fly. It's the Scout Bot on the upper right corner where all the in/out files are displayed (similarly to recent documents from the windows start menu but more extended). There you have some options by rightclicking, such as browse folder (inside ava's main window, copy path, create new folder and others as shown on the screen shot). An important option is to choose to block file or folder from being displayed to the Scout Bot, which also applies and to the main panel of results (for example I always exclude the the prefetch directory from the searhc results).
Then comes My Picks, located at the bottom right; it's a favorites section simplified where you can add files/folders by drag and drop, otherwise files/folders will be added according to launch history, hierarchically. By right-click on a file, you can remove it from the Picks.
Other features of Avafind are the toolbar buttons: Music, Videos, Pictures, Programs, Documents and Downloads, showing all your audio, video, image etc files accordingly (I never use these buttons btw).
Also Avafind can be used as folder size program (like treesizepro, foldersizes etc). For example just type am fil (part name of the program files, to show that you don't have to type whole paths or start from the beginning of path) and the program files folder is displayed. Then choose arrange results by size and you have, the folders' sizes feature, missing from a typical windows installation.
The program have not been updated from 2003 and the development seems abandoned but even 4 years old, it excels as simple but very powerful file finder
Edited reason forgotten to add home page http://www.think-less-do-more.com/avafind/ and advanced features
Here is a link to a another review and mini comparison with locate. Note that after the trial period ends, Ava still seal searches but the advanced features are disabled.

I had costochondritis about 3 years ago. I'd never heard of it before. I started having this weird pain around my ribs on my left side, just under my breast. I thought, that's strange, and figured it would go away until one morning I'm sitting drinking my coffee and STAB! Ooh, it was bad. I managed to get myself to emerg and actually got bumped up the priority list because the pain was right over my heard. Many hours and tests later, the doctor announced it was probably this costochondritis thing, which is an inflamation of the cartiledge between your ribs, and all you can really do is take lots of anti-inflamatories and wait for it to go away.
I've never heard that it could be associated with Celiac. I, of course, always consider that, but I'd just had a mild cold and aparently it can be caused by a virus, though there's no clear-cut explanation for it. Just a weird thing that happens. It's never come back.
That said, bthack, if you have Celiac or are on the gluten-free diet, then eating (or drinking) gluten can increase your chances of getting weird things like this because your immune system is affected.
I miss beer too, but yes, there are several decent gluten-free beers out there, and they're getting better. It's not quite the same, but better than nothing.
Hope you get better soon!

- Gluten-free since March 2009 (not officially diagnosed, but most likely Celiac). Symptoms have greatly improved or disappeared since.
- Soy intolerant. Dairy free (likely casein intolerant). Problems with eggs, quinoa, brown rice
- mild gastritis seen on endoscopy Oct 2012. Not sure if healed or not.

That was some of the worst, annoying, troubling pains out there since it "travels" across the area looking for nerve endings.
I'd never heard it was related to gluten (perhaps mine wasn't). It did go on for YEARS...and once it popped loose and sounded like a freakin' gun shot. Knocked me over like one, too.
I can honestly say if I'd have known it was triggered by gluten I'd have stopped gluten immediately.
It hurts THAT BAD.

I do have it and I am still in Flotsam, but I don't remember where I've got it. I did explore pretty much everything, including the Nekker caves, the cave under the elven bath and the asylum.

This month's survey of recent patent and research literature describes money-making ideas for personal care product development, including indirect antioxidants for skin protection, caper and prickly pear extracts to address skin conditions, granulated shampoo and a dual phase mouthwash, among others.
Skin and Skin Care
Polysiloxane emulsifiers: Clariant International Ltd. discloses cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions, preferably emulsions, utilizing one or more modified polysiloxanes with at least one carbamate group as the emulsifiers.
Vernonia to improve skin: Bayer Consumer Care describes the use of Vernonia extract to improve skin. The described invention incorporates a Vernonia plant extract from Madagascar into cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food supplements to improve the skin by strengthening the dermal-epidermal junction and/or activating fibroblast synthesis and extracellular matrix compounds.
Thus, dried leaves of Vernonia appendiculata were extracted using heptane and percolated with ethanol. The fats were then removed by liquid-liquid extraction, also using heptane. After concentration into the aqueous phase, glycerin was added to adjust the solution to 10% extract in a water-glycerin blend. The final product resulted in a liquid containing > 5% of chlorogenic and isochlorogenic acids. The end Vernonia extract obtained was formulated at 1% into an antiaging cream.
Topical, injectable hyaluronan and heparin: Innoderm has patented topical and injectable cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions containing a combination of cross-linked or non-cross-linked hyaluronan and heparin and/or one or more heparinoid derivatives. These compositions were employed to prolong the lifespan of the hyaluronan present in the skin, which is either endogenous or exogenous, cross-linked or non-cross-linked, in order to improve its antiaging and moisturizing actions and to fill in wrinkles.
Antioxidant protection and phase 2 enzyme inducers: Western Holdings LLC discloses skin protectant compositions containing antioxidants and indirect antioxidants—i.e., phase 2 enzyme inducers—such as one to protect skin against the damage caused by UV radiation. Specifically disclosed is a broccoli extract in combination with a composition including Hibiscus flower extract, Ferula assa foetida root extract, pear fruit extract and green tea leaf extract, which exhibits a synergistic effect and protects against the adverse effects of UV radiation. The composition further includes vitamins C and E and is suggested for cosmetics, sunscreen products, moisturizers, toners and other skin care.

Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Prealbumin is synthesized in the liver and acts as a binding protein for thyroxine and retinol-binding protein.
The serum concentration of prealbumin reflects the synthesis capacity of the liver and is markedly diminished in malnutrition and other conditions.
Due to its short half-life of approximately 2 days, prealbumin can be used for monitoring the nutritional status and efficacy of parenteral nutrition.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assessing nutritional status, especially in monitoring the response to nutritional support in the acutely ill patient

Values of 0 to 5 mg/dL, 5 to 10 mg/dL, and 10 to 15 mg/dL indicate severe, moderate, and mild protein depletion.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No significant cautionary statements
