Gloria's Angel, hybrid herbaceous peony
Notable characteristics: Perfectly formed, shell-pink single blossoms are subtly overlaid with darker pink speckles. Lower growing plant with strong stems, does not require staking. In our garden, 'Gloria's Angel' blooms one week earlier than lactiflora type herbaceous peonies. Produces both fertile pollen and seeds.
We are excited to offer this new hybrid herbaceous peony for the first time. This is a plant which we have observed and propagated in the nursery for more than a decade. It is an open-pollinated seedling which has a distinguished history. The seed parent plant was one of a group of peonies which we received from the breeder, Chris Lanning, in the early 1990s. Lanning, in turn, had acquired the progenitors from the Saunders nursery. Its genetic background is complex, and contains both P. obovata subsp. willmottiae and P. daurica subsp. macrophylla. The English botanist, Martin Page, helped us recognize this as a unique flower, unlike any other he had seen in all of his research and travels for his fine book, 'The Gardener's Peony.' We named it 'Gloria's Angel' on the occasion of the ninetieth birthday of a beloved aunt.
Cultivar group, hybridizer and year introduced: Peony Heaven hybrid, new introduction, not yet registered with the American Peony Society.
Growth habit and size at maturity: Upright, grows to 2.5' tall and 3.5' wide. Very good stem strength.
Flower form and size: Single, 4-5" and upward facing. Excellent variety for landscape planting or cut flowers.
Flower fragrance: Very light .
Bloom time: Early season hybrid peony, blooms in our USDA zone 6a garden in the third and fourth weeks of May.
Zone hardiness: Proven in USDA zones 3-8.
Plant size: 4-5 'eye' plants with a well developed root system. This size plant will most likely flower its first or second spring in the ground.
When we ship: Orders can be sent SPRING or FALL 2017 shipping.

Charleston�s hottest festival returns for its 21st year! North Charleston Wannamaker County Park will host the Latin American Festival on Sunday, October 7 from noon � 6pm. This celebration of Latin American culture, food, dance, children�s activities, and music in a fun, family-oriented environment is a true cultural experience for everyone to enjoy.
Grab some dancing shoes and groove to live music by Latin sensations Bachaco and Orquesta Mayor. The high-energy Miami band Bachaco blends dancehall, reggae and cumbia with a dash of ska and hip-hop to create their own type of spicy global music. Returning for its second Latin American Festival performance, Bachaco has been touring across the country over the past year, including playing at Miami�s Hard Rock Cafe, at New Orleans� Bayou Boogaloo, and the Ska Festival in Victoria, British Columbia. Multi-cultural Orquesta Mayor was formed in Charlotte in 2006 and is made up of 12 musicians, ranging from trumpet to piano to bongo players, all of varying nationalities. The band�s music features sounds from many different genres including salsa, meringue, bolero and others.
The festival�s stage will also feature high-energy dance presentations and demonstrations. One of the dynamic performances is by Capoeira Charleston, a captivating Brazilian martial arts group. This ensemble�s folkloric presentation uses 500-year old acrobatic movements, personal interaction, and cultural musical instruments to engage the audience and teach the art form of Capoeira. DJ Luigi of Latin Groove is guaranteed to spice things up and keep dancers on their feet by spinning the hottest salsa, merengue, cumbia, bachata and reggaeton hits.
While enjoying the entertainment, festival-goers can treat themselves to refreshing cold beverages and cuisine from Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. Stations for recycling and composting will be provided throughout the festival grounds where patrons can deposit their waste in support of the park agency�s conservation efforts.
A popular family area for the little ni�os is the kids� zone. Children can enjoy jump castles, rides, and creating crafts from various Latin regions. The Charleston County Public Library will also present a fun educational area at the park�s Cypress Hall.

Into the attic I creep.
Just for a tiny peak.
They won't ever know.
I'll go real slow.
A pirates trunk to find.
Jolly Rogers and that kind.
Slowly open to look.
It's empty, but one book.
Soiled and old, yet it gleams.
First page open, by seams.
"Dear Diary, today I cry.
I met this nice guy".

Five years after the first multi-race elections brought Nelson Mandela to power, Kallie and Lynnette live at the sharp end of lost privilege, in a "Coloured" (mixed-race) squatter camp south of Cape Town. It is 10 days now until the national and provincial elections, but no political party can be bothered to solicit their vote.
"We got tired of hearing about whites leaving the new South Africa to go overseas," says Kallie, "so two years ago we wrote to You magazine and told them that there are poor white people, like us, who cannot afford to travel abroad."
The magazine, which caters mainly for a white readership, sent a reporter and photographer to Hout Bay. The journalists found a horror story for their readers: a working-class couple who, during the apartheid years, held jobs secured by their colour but who, under majority rule, have lost all the material comforts with which South African whites used to be mollycoddled.
If poverty is a great leveller it is also a filter of attitudes. "You will not find whites showing us much sympathy," says Kallie. "Knock on their door and ask for food for the children and they will slam it in your face. But the Coloured people have helped us because they know what it is like to have nothing. The African National Congress government helps blacks, and you cannot blame them. Most whites are rich. The Coloured people are like us, stuck in the middle."
Kallie and Lynnette's home, at the top of a steep hill behind the fish- packing factories, is a draughty box of corrugated plastic and metal, built by them in one day when they arrived from Port Elizabeth four years ago. It has no toilet, no drains, no telephone, only cold water (illegally diverted from a standpipe) and electricity supplied through an extension lead from a nearby block of flats.
Dogs run loose and pick at litter. Men and women with chesty coughs, dependent on casual work in the factories and on the fishing boats, hang around outside a green truck-container which has been converted into a public toilet.
They are all Coloured, like most of the population in the Western Cape, which, at the last elections, installed a provincial parliament led by the National Party, the old guarantor of apartheid. This time, the Western Cape is again expected to vote for the party, now renamed the New National Party.
"We thought the Nats would be better for us brown people than the ANC," says Rachel Wilschutt, a 36-year-old neighbour who works as a fish packer. "But they have not been able to do much. In Mandela Park, the black township near here, new houses have been built and the school has been improved. Here, everything is the same as it ever was." But, as whites, Kallie and Lynnette and their daughters, Adria, six, and Carnette, eight, have experienced drastic change since 1994. Before the ANC came to power, poverty among whites was anathema to the minority government. Subsidised housing, child maintenance and priority in the job market provided a safety net for the least well-equipped whites - even for people like Kallie, who had a drinking habit.
"When I was at my worst, I could get through three bottles of hard liquor a day," he admits. "Those days are over - drink is the easy solution and I have children to think of." You cannot help thinking that, somewhere along the line, the pulling away of the apartheid-era safety net was a life-saving wake-up call for Kallie. This may also explain why, as he tells his story, he is not bitter.
"I was a machine-setter at the Delta car parts plant in Port Elizabeth," says Kallie, "and Lynnette was working for a bookbinder. We got our jobs, which we had for two years, because the blacks had gone on strike. They took us on as replacement labour. I got 700 rands [pounds 70] a week and Lynnette was paid 350 rands [pounds 35]. Then the black strikers won their court cases and we were both fired overnight by different employers." He now gets paid 50 rands (pounds 5) a day when he works and she 80 rands (pounds 8).
It is a sunny day in Hout Bay, one of the less precious settlements of the smart Cape Peninsula because it is a working port for crayfish and snoek. Despite the pervasive smell from the fish factories and the very visible squatter settlement, it has its share of smart homes with terraces looking straight out over the turquoise water. In the port there is a fishing museum, trinkets for sale to tourists and booths advertising seal- and whale-watching trips.
"In Port Elizabeth we had a flat, we were not poor," says Kallie, an Afrikaans-speaker who struggles a little with English. "We are not rasistiek [racist]. After we were sacked, people came to us and told us to join the Afrikaner Weerstandbeweging (AWB) of Eugene Terreblanche and stand up to our employers. When we refused we were called kaffir boeties ["nigger- lovers"] and they gave us hell.
"That is really what decided us to leave Port Elizabeth. I had a connection with Hout Bay because, as a young man, just out of jail after the army, I had spent some time here on the boats. The army was terrible, nothing prepared me for it, even though my father was a soldier. They sent me to the border [with Angola] for 18 months and I was supposed to kill women and children in the name of apartheid. I could not see why I should, so they put me in prison for six months." Kallie knew he could find work in Hout Bay, through old connections and because, in a port, there is always an engine that needs fixing. "We sold our backie [pick-up truck] and everything in our rented flat, filled up two bin liners and hitchhiked here." The 700km journey to Hout Bay was an indicator of what was to come. "Whites never gave us lifts, only the Coloureds in their crowded backies and minibuses. We arrived at Hout Bay and Dennis, the Coloured car-park attendant, looked after our stuff while we went hunting for a place to live. A Coloured stranger let us use a room in her bungalow. Whites will never give you anything - it is because they are rich that they are mean, not because of their colour. They see a poor person and assume he or she is going to steal from them.
"In those days, a bachelor flat in Hout Bay cost 1,500 rands [pounds 150] a month so we decided it would be better to settle somewhere with no rent to pay. I constructed our shack in a day, with a builder friend. We are on the council's list for a flat and have another six or seven years to wait." In the afternoon, Lynnette comes home from her twice-a-week "Coloured woman's job" at Lucille Parker's house in town. It has been a day of heavy ironing and cleaning up in the children's room.
Adria and Carnette arrive home, dressed in dusty navy blue school uniforms. "They are going to end up very well-prepared for the new South Africa," Lynnette explains proudly. "They already speak fluent English, Afrikaans and Xhosa, which is more than can be said for most whites." The Matthees' two daughters are the only whites at their 100-rand-a-year (pounds 10) government school.
And even though there is nothing the family would like more than a bungalow, or a ticket to Australia, they are relieved at not sharing the everyday fears of well-off whites who live, behind high walls topped with spikes, in houses wired with alarms. "We have no problem with crime because there is nothing to steal from us," says Kallie. "In this area, everyone helps everyone else. There is a real sense of community."
The Matthees' shack - which has expanded in the last four years from one room to four - is as cardhouse-like as all the others on the hill, but it has a name, Candle Light, "because that," says Lynnette, "is what we lived by at the beginning". She has tried to grow a creeper by the front door but nothing thrives in the sandy soil. Inside, Kallie has used crayons to decorate the white sheets of hardboard which divide the rooms. One drawing is of a huge vase of flowers.
In the kitchen area, an electric cooker with no knobs sits alongside a washing machine and a tumble dryer, given to Lynnette by Mrs Parker. "She is a very special employer, a journalist who has lived overseas. Whites usually will not give you anything, they always sell you their old things. But Mrs Parker gave me those and also the big old television, which is now broken, but we will fix it." Behind Kallie's drawings, Tracey Kruger, aged 25, is asleep. She is five months pregnant and arrived last week with her husband, Marius, 32, from Pietersburg, north of Johannesburg.
Both are white and their story is like a re-run of the Matthees'. Marius explains: "I was a security guard on 1,820 rands [pounds 180] a month and Tracey worked in the same firm. But our company was taken over and they sacked everyone. When it came to re-hiring, they only took the blacks.
"Kallie encouraged us to sell everything and come here - he and I met years ago on the boats and we both know that there is no racism in fishing. The boat owners do not care what colour you are, as long as you can get the fish out of the water. But the price of a bachelor flat is now 2,800 rands [pounds 280] a month, so it is going to be hard for us to be independent. I think we will also build a shack."
Statistics are not available to show whether there has been an increase in the number of whites living below the poverty line. But their number is probably growing, based simply on the fact that, since apartheid ended, state aid is now stretched between many more people. Certainly the proportion of whites among the highest earners had declined from 51 per cent to 33 per cent by 1996. (There are 4.5 million whites in South Africa - about 12 per cent of the population.)
The perception is clear. White poverty in the form of beggars with scrawled cardboard signs can be seen at virtually every traffic junction in middle- class areas. They compete for takings with black or Coloured beggars, and with hawkers selling fruit, drinks or coat hangers. But in this ever- complex society, the increase in white beggars since 1994 does not provide incontrovertible evidence that there are more poor people among the former ruling race. In the apartheid days, it would have been unthinkable for whites to lower themselves to begging; now they can play on white fears of "there but for the grace of God go I". On the other hand, black car drivers often seem more willing to give, perhaps because they are less embarrassed or squeamish about the sight of beggars. For every new white prostitute, there are several "buppies" (black yuppies) pulling into golf clubs in spanking new BMWs.
The government has built some 750,000 new homes since 1994, set in motion land redistribution programmes, and carried out impressive schemes to take basic amenities to townships. But the unemployment rate stands at about 34 per cent and the economy is stagnant.
In Johannesburg, Tannie Swannie (Auntie Swannie, short for Swanepoel), a 60-year-old white woman, sees the unemployed, the motherless and the hungry every day of the year. In the white working-class suburb of Vrededorp, she runs a soup kitchen at the back of her house, takes in orphans from the police child protection unit and generally helps those who cannot fend for themselves.
You know you have found Tannie Swannie's bungalow because her front door is always open - a rarity in this society of walls and gates. "When I buy the house I shall take down the fence at the front," she says, pointing to a length of chicken wire which is hardly forbidding.
Tannie Swannie, a nurse whose late husband was a council caretaker, began working with the dispossessed more than 20 years ago. "At first it was just lonely and hard-up seniors [pensioners] and some child-abuse victims. But, increasingly, people of all colours come to me, for all sorts of problems. My association is completely mixed - the chairman is white and the treasurer is black.
"It would appear that more and more whites are having trouble, and there is less and less I can do for them. Until about four years ago, I used to be able to take them down to the Clover [margarine] factory and get odd jobs for them. Now there is no work there, and I can only guess that this is because black people are getting the jobs."
In a society which remains unable to show the imagination required to straddle old racial categories, Kallie, Lynnette, Marius and Tracey seem like foreigners. They do not, racially, fit the socio-economic mould they are in, and their poverty terrifies their apartheid-era kin of skin.
The fact that they exist, even in small numbers, is not even proof of levelling by hardship. The new poor whites of South Africa inhabit an unhappy no-man's-land defined by double rejection. Kallie, Lynnette, Marius and Tracey all agree they have no one to vote for on 2 June. 1

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
If you are involved in a domestic violence case, you may want to hire an experienced domestic violence (DV) lawyer. A DV attorney can help protect you if you or your family have been the victim of domestic violence. An attorney can file restraining orders and make changes to your child custody agreement in order to protect you and your family. Conversely, if you have been accused of physically or mentally threatening someone close to you (e.g., a family member, boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner), you should contact a lawyer with experience in domestic violence cases. DV lawyers can also defend you against false accusations of domestic violence, which might otherwise put you at a disadvantage in divorce or child custody negotiations.

True, but the items I ordered from Seneca mean that I have to dig out some
hostas to make room. Which isn't such a bad idea, just takes more time. And
the price I'll get for the hostas in my garage sale will only be 10% of the
cost of the new plants. do you think I could put hostas in my IRA?

Federal forces occupied the square from 1862 to the end of the war and established a depot garrisoned by as many as 3,000 soldiers. Also, during their Kentucky invasion of 1862, a portion of Gen. Braxton Bragg's Confederate army used the Carthage river crossing. The current Smith County Courthouse, built at the end of Reconstruction in 1875, is an impressive Second Empire-styled landmark, and a United Daughters of the Confederacy monument stands on the courthouse grounds. Northwest of the square is the City Cemetery, where confederate veterans are buried. To the immediate east of the square is the location of town's Reconstruction-era African American neighborhood, marked now by the Turner Chapel AME Church and the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. Adjacent to the square is Braden Chapel United Methodist Church, which houses a historic African American congregation.

This review is from: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: This board has served me through 2 memory upgrades, 3 hard drive upgrades, 4 video card upgrades, and finally; a new processor.
Kudos to both AMD and ASUS for offering a simple BIOS update to allow me to upgrade to the latest processors.
With this motherboard and FX-8350, I'm getting 5.2GHz turbo core on all 8 of my cores and my benchmarking shows me beating an i7-4770K (in certain tasks).
Cons: Not a huge con, but would have been cool.
Other Thoughts: As of this writing you can't buy these boards new, so my intent here is to illustrate the support that ASUS provides as well as the upgrade-ability that AMD puts forward. Contrast this with an Intel solution that has changed socket types 3 times in this motherboard's life.READ FULL REVIEW

Good saddle for the price? Also how to measure gullet size?
Dakota barrel saddle, almost brand new, but fenders have been replaced with older broken in fenders (which I'm happy with) it will fit me good, but still unsure about Hustler as I can't measure him until he's home on Saturday. It has a 7 inch gullet. She's asking $350. Seem good? What do you think about Dakotas? Also, how do you measure what size gullet your horse need without a wither tracing? Thanks everyone. I'll post pictures below.
Posted via Mobile Device
No one?
Posted via Mobile Device
Without a wither tracing it is hard to measure, but if you post a couple of pics of your Horse, I may be able to make an educated guess if that Saddle will fit, have gotten pretty good at it over the years
I have seen dozens of Dakota used at a nearby Barrel Racing club, very decent saddle for the price.
350.00 for a used one is fair.
I've always used an old wire hanger to measure my horses.
Posted via Mobile Device
Best pictures I have, whatcha think? :)
Posted via Mobile Device
Anyone else, do y'all agree it's a pretty good deal?
Posted via Mobile Device
Google horsesaddleshop who has some downloadable templates. Print all three out, transfer to cardboard then cut them out. One half will be for the horse and the other for the saddle. The sizes are posted with each one.

Tim Henman knew what Colin Montgomerie was doing wrong in his opening 73. "He was the only pro whose ball was bobbling up and down on the greens," so the former British No 1 player who never quite won a Grand Slam told Tony Johnstone.
The Zimbabwe professional, working for Sky Sports last week, fully agreed and surmised that perhaps the former British No 1 golfer, who never quite won a major, needed less loft on his putter face. Sat next to Johnstone, Richard Boxall sounded concerned. "Henman didn't tell Monty that did he?" he asked. With that, silence fell over the Sky commentary booth as they envisaged the devastation if Tiger Tim had indeed passed on to Mongoose Monty a golfing tip, as three-putt followed three-putt.
Ever seen Kill Bill? Just substitute the samurai sword for a four-iron. But on no account imagine Monty in Uma Thurman's yellow jumpsuit.
Fortunately, Henman is not that stupid or brave and kept his own counsel as far as anything to do with his partner's game was concerned. Not that he wasn't qualified to pass judgement. One newspaper reported that in the first round of the Dunhill Links around Carnoustie, Henman outscored Montgomerie by six strokes. Granted, the forward tees the amateur tees used did make the beast of Angus around 600 yards shorter. But six strokes?
Henman is no hacker. In fact, since his retirement he probably has more time to play golf than Montgomerie, who seemingly spends every weekend at home. A member at Sunningdale, Henman plays off scratch and takes it very, very seriously. As Johnstone said, it is possible to recognise a keen amateur if they are prepared to fly up their own caddie to Scotland. With the airlines now charging exorbitant rates, most of us cannot be bothered to fly up our own clubs.
It proved well worth the expense, however, as Henman was the non-paid star of the opening two days of this glorified pro-am, which allows us the privilege of checking out the swings of Hugh Grant and Huey Lewis on an annual basis. Well, Henman was actually the non-paid star who was televised. The incredible one-legged Manuel de los Santos would obviously have overshadowed everybody, but apart from the occasional fleeting glimpse, Sky chose to cover the A-Listers on the first few days. (Incidentally, if you still haven't seen De los Santos hit a golf ball call it up on YouTube. It will make you feel yet more ashamed of your duck-hook.)
So step forward Tim and step backward Colin. There wasn't a Sampras in sight and nothing was stopping him.
His highlight came on Friday on the penultimate hole at St Andrews. Henman birdied the most feared hole in golf, going straight for the pin and rolling in the seven-footer. His little fist pump brought back a few memories, as did the wild, but refined applause on the little hill behind the green. Sir Matthew Pinsent, also in the fourball, ran up and hugged Henman and there was euphoria all round. What Fred Perry would have made of it, one could only wonder.
But hang about, where was Monty in these celebrations? Wouldn't it have made Henman's career golfing moment that bit more special if the eight-time Europe No 1 had been there to hold him aloft? Monty was out of the picture. He had just double-bogeyed the hole and cannot have been in any mood to high-five an amateur who was making him look stupid. They don't call him golf's finest team player for nothing, you know.

1700's Sailing is NOT the Life for Me
August 20, 2015 Beginning 93,462; Temperature 67� at 9 a.m., foggy and misting
I visited the shops in Baddeck before joining the highway to leave Nova Scotia. A large bag of shells to use in my science lessons and a navy sweater for school were my only purchases. I know the Canadian dollar is weak right now so it would cost me 80% of the listed price but still things seemed to be overpriced.
The next stop ...
Timing is critical
... to go through the Cobequid pass from Nova Scotia to Moncton, NB and that is where the bad weather usually hits as it is a snow belt and ski area (can you see the connection?). The news made me nervous and I contemplated taking the 4 pm ferry from Digby, NS to St John, NB.
My host for the night, Jo Miller suggested that the wind was blowing hard and that it was not a good day for a three hour ferry ride. As it turned out, the wind was blowing so ...
Fundy Fun
... that if we were heading back across the border in a few days we needed to get a few of our favorite Canadian things to take with us, so we made a stop at the last Canadian Costco and picked up some good stuff. We then headed to Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park to see more of the wonders of the Bay of Fundy. The only time you can visit is up to 3 hours before and after a low tide. If you get there at that time, you can walk on ...
Backtracking Some--Better View With No Rain!
... and we scoped out a dinner option for tomorrow night. I brought the rest of the bags up to the room (on the second floor, but the steps are more to Carol's liking!!).
The moon is nearly full . . . it will be full tomorrow night (8/10) . . . and the higher tides tend to coincide with the new moon and full moon . . . so when we travel to Hopewell Rocks tomorrow . . . to witness the tide change, it will move about 44 feet tomorrow. ...
Nothing up my sleeve
... to do now is watch for a last minute discount on a hotel. I think we're pretty good on most of our bookings, but a bit of a discount on our London hotel wouldn't be discouraged. I have my eye on another hotel in the area which I've stayed at before, and seems to have lots of availability. That's a recipe for a last minute discount, don't ya think? Next on my list...start packing. It's never too early for that, is ...

Ulyana Sergeenko's Couture Clash-Up
Two moments marked Russian history: the end of the Romanov dynasty at the beginning of the 20th century and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
What amazing tales! And who better to express these moments than Russian designer Ulyana Sergeenko, couture's primary fairytale-teller? She took the two opposing events, dragged them from the pages of the history books, and created an intriguing look - part grandiose, part crazy boho.
Against a backdrop of an intensely decorated Paris hotel, worthy of Romanov excess, the models looked purposeful but charming. Chalky colours like the facades of St Petersburg brought a decadent prettiness to a pastel pink Soviet cap, worn at a rakish angle, the work of British milliner Stephen Jones.
Bags shaped like cats and fish or with card motifs from a decadent dynasty added depth to the tales of Russia. But it was the visual effects that garnered the most attention. The pale green of a fluffy fur jacket competing with melds of yellow, peachy pink and turquoise. It was mesmerising to find the unexpected: ball dresses worn with the military caps, brief hemlines on A-line dresses, or skinnie Bowie looks. I felt a sense of chaos with the mash-up of the early era. And of freedom in the post-Soviet period.
There is something compelling about Ulyana's work and the intensity of the hand-decoration, which included the cat purses. She described the fashion storyline as "Marie Antoinette meets David Bowie". However pretentious or ridiculous that might sound, the designer gets better each season as her technique and vision develop. And this show was a winner.

Imagine if we held the burning sun in our hands,
I would look down into its face and gaze at your reflection,
Your stance would be strong and your beauty unearthly,
Your face would glaze into mine and wish my happiness,
All too soon, your soul would be sucked out of me and my memories,
You would fade and slip out of the suns burning grasp,
But I would never leave you because we mean something,
Together, only together, I feel wanted and special,
Wherever your love goes mine will follow,
To the end of the world and back,
Stand with me, rather hold me tight,
And love me till the end, for eternality,
But just remember that special thought,
The burning sun shadows me into the night,
A curse it must be, to watch my death repeatedly,
Break the curse my love, I can't stand the pain much longer.

De-FENSE! (Clap-clap) De-FENSE! (Clap-clap)
It's that seven-letter word that we in the realm of fantasy baseball think matters not, but it does, in fact, have an underlying impact on our game. And following the events of this offseason, as well as the advent of advanced defensive statistics, more than ever fantasy owners' eyes should be fixated upon defense.
Remember all that chatter about the Detroit Tigers' decision to shift Miguel Cabrera to third base following their signing of free-agent first baseman Prince Fielder to a nine-year, $224 million contract? That might have represented a turning point in defensive focus in fantasy, as few other defensively minded decisions in recent memory have inspired the kind of debate as that one.
Considering the potential ramifications for Tigers pitchers -- pitching is a facet of the game directly impacted by defense -- it's an understandable debate.
The Tigers, more than any other team, adversely impacted their defense as a result of offseason moves. With Fielder at first, Cabrera at third and Delmon Young in left field, the Tigers have a chance at finishing dead last in every defensive category at three positions in 2012. Considering that two of their projected five starters, Rick Porcello (76.3 percent) and Doug Fister (75.0 percent), ranked among 15 pitchers most likely to have a plate appearance end in a ball within the field of play (i.e., not a walk, strikeout or home run), that's a problem.
While there's no one-size-fits-all measure of defensive prowess, over the years we've learned several things: Fielding percentage is overrated, errors aren't everything and a player's range is critical. It's for that reason that in this space, you won't hear much about errors or fielding percentage. Instead, you'll hear about more advanced metrics: Defensive Runs Saved -- a Baseball Info Solutions metric that indicates how many runs a player saved or hurt his team in the field compared to an average player at his position -- and Ultimate Zone Rating -- a FanGraphs metric that measures a player's value in terms of range and errors comparative to an average player at his position.
The following chart shows each team's performance in each of these defensive categories, as well as their ranking among all 30 teams:
Returning to the Tigers, those numbers demonstrate that they weren't a strong defensive team to begin with, not to mention they had positive Defensive Runs Saved at only two positions (left and center field) and a positive Ultimate Zone Rating at only two positions (shortstop, center field) in 2011.
With Cabrera at the hot corner, the Tigers might go from above average there to the majors' worst. In 2006 and 2007, his last two seasons as a regular third baseman, he had minus-25 Defensive Runs Saved and a minus-7.7 Ultimate Zone Rating; those ranked him third- and 11th-worst, respectively, at the position. And while Brandon Inge might have had minus-2 and 1.8 numbers in those categories at third base in 2011, playing 730 2/3 of the team's 1,440 innings, he has 56 Defensive Runs Saved and a 48.5 Ultimate Zone Rating since 2005, his first season as a regular third baseman.
At first base, Cabrera was no standout, but consider this: With him as their first baseman, the Tigers had minus-8 Defensive Runs Saved and a minus-0.1 Ultimate Zone Rating at the position from 2009-11. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Brewers, Fielder's former team, had minus-12 and minus-9.6, both of which ranked eighth-worst among 30 teams, during that three-year span. There is little question that the Tigers are worse defensively at both corner-infield spots following the Fielder signing.
Now let's shift to left field: Young played 351 2/3 innings there for the Tigers, or 24.4 percent of the team's total, yet during that time he had minus-8 Defensive Runs Saved and a minus-5.5 Ultimate Zone Rating at the position. All other Tigers left fielders, meanwhile, totaled 11 Defensive Runs Saved and a 5.4 Ultimate Zone Rating. There's no question they're better off with Young at designated hitter but then the same could be said with either Cabrera or Fielder.
Here's why all that matters: The Tigers have two of the top 25 qualified pitchers in terms of batting average on balls in play in 2011 -- Justin Verlander, whose .236 was second, and Doug Fister, whose .272 was 22nd. Even the slightest regression in the category, influenced by those defensive downgrades, could deflate their value a tad.
Another downgrade
Minnesota Twins: Young's former team looked destined to improve defensively, simply by purging him at last year's trade deadline but then they had to go and sign Josh Willingham, didn't they? Willingham might have better range than Young; he still has 1.0 Defensive Runs Saved and a minus-20.1 Ultimate Zone Rating as an outfielder in his career. Couple that with what the Twins did at catcher, signing the weak-armed Ryan Doumit (24.6 percent career caught-stealing percentage), and shortstop, where they added Jamey Carroll and his minus-5 Defensive Runs Saved and minus-1.9 Ultimate Zone Rating of a year ago. And this team at best spun its wheels.
Why that matters: Carl Pavano allowed the second-highest balls-in-play percentage (80.2 percent) of any pitcher last season, while Nick Blackburn (75.4 percent) ranked 12th and Jason Marquis (74.4 percent) ranked 22nd.
And now, the upgrades
Chicago Cubs: Simply letting Aramis Ramirez walk as a free agent improves their defense; he has never had a good defensive reputation and, in fact, ranked fourth-worst in Defensive Runs Saved (minus-22) and fifth-worst in Ultimate Zone Rating (minus-15.9) among third basemen from 2010-11, not to mention he totaled 30 errors, sixth-most at the position. That's not to say that Ian Stewart, Ramirez's projected replacement, is the next Ron Santo defensively; Stewart's Defensive Runs Saved (14) and Ultimate Zone Rating (4.6) in his career at the hot corner -- numbers that project to 8.0 and 2.6 in a 1,450-inning season -- nevertheless represent an improvement. Adding David DeJesus, whose 10.1 Ultimate Zone Rating led all right fielders and 13 Defensive Runs Saved ranked third at that position, also helped upgrade an outfield defense that was already fairly sound with Marlon Byrd (9.0 Defensive Runs Saved, 3.9 Ultimate Zone Rating from 2009-11) in center field.
Don't underestimate the importance of defense to Cubs pitchers; Paul Maholm (73.2 percent) and Randy Wells (72.0 percent) rank among the top 50 in terms of percentage of plate appearances that resulted with a ball within the field of play (meaning not walks, strikeouts or home runs). Chris Volstad (70.5 percent) also had a rate higher than the major league average of 68.4 percent.
New York Mets: The 2011 Mets had a host of problems, not the least of which was their defense. They ranked dead-last in Ultimate Zone Rating (minus-59.7) and third-worst in Defensive Runs Saved (minus-36) as a team, but they stand to improve even if simply because they rid themselves of Jose Reyes, who since initially hurting his calf in 2009 has been at best a mediocre defensive shortstop. He had minus-12 Defensive Runs Saved and a minus-9.0 Ultimate Zone Rating the past three seasons combined, while one of his potential replacements, Ronny Cedeno, had 8.0 Defensive Runs Saved and a 5.9 Ultimate Zone Rating at the position in 2011. Andres Torres, too, represents a defensive upgrade in center field: Torres had 3.0 Defensive Runs Saved and an 8.7 Ultimate Zone Rating, compared to Pagan's minus-1 and minus-14.3 in 2011.
Don't underestimate the importance of those defensive upgrades. After all, with the Mets bringing in the outfield fences at Citi Field, pitchers' margins for error decrease accordingly, so they're going to need better D to counteract that.
Better here, worse there
Arizona Diamondbacks: This is a team with a history of sound defense, which is why the addition of Jason Kubel was so perplexing. Left fielder Gerardo Parra had 28 Defensive Runs Saved and a 20.1 Ultimate Zone Rating during his first three big league seasons, while Kubel has minus-17 Defensive Runs Saved and a minus-41.8 Ultimate Zone Rating during his career as an outfielder. In that career, Kubel has averaged 556 1/3 innings in the outfield, only twice playing more than 500 frames, so the Diamondbacks are taking a huge risk, something troublesome to an extreme fly ball pitcher such as Josh Collmenter (47.5 percent rate).
The Diamondbacks' infield, meanwhile, should experience improvement with Aaron Hill replacing Kelly Johnson for a full season and Stephen Drew perhaps ready to handle shortstop on a regular basis once again. Hill has 79 Defensive Runs Saved and a 21.7 Ultimate Zone Rating in his career as a second baseman, while Drew has 6.0 and 15.9 career numbers in those categories at shortstop. That's a boon for an extreme ground ball pitcher such as Trevor Cahill (56.2 percent rate).
Milwaukee Brewers: They're included in this set because of the aforementioned note about Aramis Ramirez, who drags down the Brewers' infield defense considerably. However, at the same time Ramirez arrives, Yuniesky Betancourt, one of the game's worst defensive shortstops, departs, with the arrival of Alex Gonzalez helping balance the team's left-side defense somewhat. From 2009-11, Gonzalez's 26 Defensive Runs Saved represent a 60-point improvement upon Betancourt's minus-46; among third basemen Ramirez's minus-26 is a mere eight-point drop from Casey McGehee's minus-18. The net result is a defense that might not look much different from the 2011 model.

> ... Both teams had one timeout remaining ...
The Chargers actually had no timeouts left, and the Ravens two. San Diego used their last timeout on 2nd down. On 4th down, the Ravens lined up to try a fake field goal, then called timeout when the Chargers didn't fall for it, hence they only had one left for their final drive.
So, a Ravens 4th down conversion would have ended the game (provided that they didn't go out of bounds).
I cannot remember if I have posted this before but a necessary rule change IMHO the NFL ought to consider is that if Defense foul after the 2MW in Q4 when losing, then if the play itself was sufficient for a FD (not the penalty), the GC stops only is Def can be charged a TO. Otherwise GC is started with the PC from 40secs.
Suppose this scenario. Off are leading by 3 and successfully rush for a FD to their 20 at 1:50. Def have 1 TOL. They foul with (deliberate) illegal use of hands. It costs them an extra 5yards stopping the GC but retain a TO. If they had not fouled, Off would have comfortably run out the GC. Now Off have to make plays rather than take a knee and Def have at least a chance of a blocked or short punt and perhaps a couple of pops at the EZ.
A similar logic applies when Def foul on an Off TD play - say RTP. It is no penalty! Unless the scoring team come up with a cute KO from the 50 or even try an onside kick, it's still a yawn-bore TB to the 20. Make the ruling that if the KO is out the back of the EZ from the 50, it is a TB to the 10 (or even 15) instead..!

I think it's so interesting that your win probability can go down if you increase your lead from three to six points. I totally understand the logic behind it. But if teams always used the most optimal strategy against each other, this advantage would go away, and more points would always be better (or at least just as good), right? I just can't accept that this is a mathematically persistent paradox if human error is taken out of the equation.
Guest - Mark MPermalink
The failure of the field goal attempt seems to give a slightly higher winning % than the failure of the 4 th down (77.6 vs 77.1) You definitely give up yards on a field goal failure so how is that possible? Typo?
Guest - rogerPermalink
I disagree with the statement that there is an "enormous gap". We are looking at derived values of 86% and 82%. (The break even point is irrelevant, we only care about WP of the two decisions.)
If the input numbers vary by a few percent (say the WP of a made field goal was 85% instead of 82.1%) then the two decisions are much closer. Based on this, I'd say its a wash, either FG or GoForIt are acceptable decisions. If Harbaugh's reading of that particular game situation of the chargers O against the Ravens D on that drive with that weather/wind, and he though he have a favorable chance of stopping the TD, then kicking was the right decision.

"Keith Goldner In reply to: Guest - badric PERMALINK
Where is the "both" part? Your response is that it is entirely based on historical results, (along with your 3rd down proxy used for 4th down.). And it is league wide multi-year historical averages as well, as I understand it.
It would be great to see the std deviation of these averages (in fact, critical!). I suggest showing us the team by team stddev. For instance, TDs in the red zone can vary from ~70% for the broncos, to ~20% for the jags, so reporting the mean of TD in red zone is almost meaningless. In your hypothetical example of 600 successes out of 1000 tries, how much does that 600 vary team by team? I would think it would be very large.

Hi keith I fully agree with you that it is the process that is important, not the result.

Transplantation is the best therapy for end stage failure of many organs including kidney, heart and lungs. While short term outcomes of transplants are excellent, graft half-lives are suboptimal in large part because of chronic immune mediated injury. Our long term goal is to identify novel mechanisms of transplant injury so as to be able to apply them to develop therapuetic strategies to prolong transplant survival. Increasing evidence indicates that regulatory T cells (Tregs) could be harnessed to inhibit pathogenic anti-transplant immunity (in the absence of immune suppression) but mechanisms to accomplish this goal are hampered by inadequate understanding. Extending our previous work, our combined published and preliminary data demonstrate that complement components C3a and C5a (initially thought to be important only for innate immunity) signal via their receptors on both mouse and human Treg inhibiting induction, activation, and function whereas blockade markedly augments Treg induction, activation, function. To decipher the mechanistic connections between complement and Treg in transplantation we propose a series of studies using mouse and human cells and multiple in vivo transplant models in mice. We will use knockout and transgenic mice along with pharmacological inhibitors, blocking antibodies and knockdown technologies to a) determine the in vivo effects of C3aR/C5aR signaling on Treg in transplantation and b) To determine mechanisms linking C3aR/C5aR signaling with Treg induction and function. The expected outcomes are that we will delineate the effects of immune cell C3aR/C5aR signaling on the function of mouse Tregs in transplantation, define the molecular signaling pathways and mechanisms that explain the observed effects, and test how the murine findings translate to human Tregs. Together, the results are likely to identify novel and unanticipated immune mechanisms (innovation), and have a positive impact because they will provide new, mechanistic insight into Treg function and stability, and identify new therapeutic targets that have the potential to prolong transplant survival in humans.
Immune mediated diseases including transplant rejection cause significant morbidity. Our studies will provide new information on how to control such immune responses in transplantation but the findings could be used to design therapies to treat T cell mediated autoimmune disease as well as to enhance protective immune responses, for example to infectious agents and or cancer (all relevant to the NIH mission)

Chapter 1 : Daddy's Little Angel
|Rating: 12+
|Chapter Reviews: 62
Background: Font color:
They both worked at the ministry, Harry was an Auror and Hermione a researcher in the Magical Creatures department.
"Mione?" Harry called, "We're home!" Harry was greeted by silence, a silence that Auror training told him wasn't good.
Lily gurgled happily and placed her hand on Harry's cheek. She had dark hair and her father's eyes. Harry took hold of Lily's tiny hand and, kissing her fingers, he drew his baby girl closer to his chest protectively.
He walked upstairs, cautiously, looking around the top of the stairs before emerging onto the landing.
"Mione? Honey where are you?" Harry called warily. Lily gurgled again, "Shh Lily – Daddy's looking for Mummy."
Harry stepped around the slightly ajar door leading into his and Hermione's bedroom. There on the bed, fast asleep, was Hermione.
This vision should have comforted Harry but the state of destruction the room was in begged to differ. The curtains were hanging in shreds over the window, clothes were strewn all over the floor and the dresser was upturned.
It was then that Harry noticed it. Above Hermione's sleeping form was wispy grey smoke in the form of a skull with two snakes protruding from its mouth. It was the sign of the death eater. Harry, of course, recognised it straight away. Since killing Voldemort three years ago, Harry had been rounding up the remaining death eaters. These death eaters were still performing Voldemort's work and unfortunately they were still recruiting.
"Hermione!" Harry exclaimed, rushing to her side with Lily still snuggled to his chest. He grabbed his wand and returned Hermione to consciousness.
"Mi?" Harry spoke as her eyes fluttered open.
Hermione furrowed her brow, "Who are you?"
Four Years Later
"What are we going to do today Daddy?" asked a four year old Lilly Potter.
"We," Harry replied setting down a bowl of porridge in front of his daughter, "Are going to Diagon Alley."
"Where's that?" Lily stared at her dad with big, questioning, emerald eyes.
"It's in London, Princess," Harry sat across from Lily and began eating his own porridge.
They lived in a cottage on the outskirts of Hyde Park. It had two bedrooms, a small kitchen and a modest living room.
"We live in London, don't we Daddy?" Lily piped up, through a mouthful of her breakfast. She was a very inquisitive child.
"Yes Lily, now don't talk with your mouth full."
Lily swallowed, "Sorry – Uncle Ron live in London?"
"You know where Uncle Ron lives. Remember, he runs the Leaky Cauldron now."
"Oh yeah, now I remember – we gotta go there to get to diagonally."
"It's Diagon Alley, honey," Harry stood and began clearing up the dishes.
"Yes Lily?"
"If Uncle Ron lives in London and we live in London and Aunt Ginny lives at The Burrow then where does Mummy live?"
"She lives in a special place that looks after her. C'mon we need to get you dressed."
Ever since Hermione was attacked that night four years ago, she had been in St Mungo's. Hermione had been subjected to the Cruciatus Curse to the point of amnesia. Any more and she would have suffered the same fate as Neville Longbottom's parents.
Harry visited his wife often but was yet to take Lily with him. He didn't want her to meet her mother only to not be welcomed and recognised.
Harry dressed Lily in a pair of pink overalls with a striped white and baby pink tee. While Lily put her sneakers on, Harry put her black ringlets into two pigtails. He could have used magic but always felt that the muggle way of doing some things showed Lily the extra affection she needed to make up for not having a mother.
"You're all ready Lil," Harry proclaimed.
"How do I look?" she asked dramatically as she twirled around.
"You look beautiful sweetie," Harry replied laughing at the endearing face his daughter had displayed.
"What are we buying today?" Lily asked, slipping her hand into Harry's much larger one.
"I need some potion ingredients and then we'll go look at the new racing broom."
"Can you buy me one?"
"No honey – maybe we'll find something at Fred and George's for you instead."
Lily shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "OK."
After collecting some potion ingredients from the apothecary the pair headed for Quality Quidditch Supplies to see the sleek new Lightwave.
"Daddy! I can't see!" Lily stomped her foot indignantly.
Harry gave her an amused look and picking her up, placed her on his shoulders, "Better?" he asked.
"Oh, it's so cool Daddy – I want one!"
"I already said no Lily," Harry began walking to Fred and George's with Lily still on his shoulders.
"Duck your head," he said as they approached the door. Once inside he put Lily down and she ran off to see the window display of self-fighting pillows. The large colourful pillows were currently bashing at each other, feathers flying everywhere.
"Can you guys watch her a while?" Harry asked.
"Sure," Fred said, "Going to see Hermione?"
Harry nodded.
"Use our fireplace – out back," George jerked his thumb towards the store room.
Hermione's case of amnesia was so severe that a memory replenishing potion had little to no effect. The only way to cure her completely was triggering her memory with something familiar.
Harry had tried perfumes, photos and everything else he could think of. He was now, systematically, telling Hermione every story of their lives. He had recounted seven years at Hogwarts and now was telling her the story of their wedding.
"You looked like an angel Hermione," Harry recalled.
"Did I? I wish I could remember."
"I better let you get some sleep," Harry suggested. He squeezed Hermione's hand and returned to the foyer to floo back to Diagon Alley.
"Daddy?" Lily asked that night as she climbed into bed.
"Yes Princess?" Harry tucked the blankets around Lily's chin.
"Mummy's alive isn't she?"
"Yes, of course."
"Why don't I get to see her?"
"Because she's sick."
"Some bad people put terrible spells on her a long time ago." Harry didn't want to lie to his daughter and he knew that she'd ask these questions one day.
"Can I see her?" Lily whispered.
"You really want to huh?"
"Yes. Everyone's meant to have a mummy. Didn't you have one?"
"I did but she died when I was a baby."
"What was her name?" Lily cocked her head on her pillow.
"Lily." Harry said quietly.
"Same as me?"
"Yes, you were named after her," Harry said as Lily's eyes began to flutter shut, "Goodnight Lily."
"I wanna see mummy," Lily whispered before falling asleep.
'Maybe it is time to take Lily to see Hermione' Harry thought as he left Lily's room.
The next morning Harry dressed Lily in a frilly green dress and black buckle up shoes. He put a green band in her brushed out curls.
"How do I look Daddy?" she asked as she did every morning. It was a game they always played.
"Like an angel," Harry smiled.
"Where are we going?"
"To see Mummy."
"Really?" Lily's eyes lit up.
"Before we go, I want to tell you something," Harry sat on Lily's bed and lifted her into his lap. Lily looked up at him curiously.
"When the bad people hurt Mummy," Harry started, playing with one of Lily's curls, "The spells they used made her lose her memory. Do you understand?"
"So she forgets stuff?"
"Yes but not little things like forgetting to brush your teeth," he tweaked Lily's nose and she giggled, "Mummy doesn't remember anything. Nothing form school or work. She doesn't even remember me or you."
"Really?" Lily made a small O with her mouth.
"Yes. Really. But I want you to understand that Mummy does love you, just as much as I love you."
"Lily nodded, "I love you too. Daddy? How can she remember again?"
"If she sees something special it could make her better."
"What about my teddy?"
"That might work," Harry smiled, "Let's go."
Harry lead Lily into Hermione's room, "Mione? I'd like you to meet someone."
Lily stepped out from behind Harry and, in a shy voice, said, "Hi Mummy."
She walked to the bed and put her teddy down next to Hermione.
"Hello Lily," Hermione smiled.
Harry started. He hadn't mentioned Lily to Hermione yet, "Hermione, do you know who she is?" Harry asked excitedly.
"Of course I do Harry! She's our daughter. Born on October 21st 2001."
Harry beamed as Lily turned to him, "She remembers doesn't she Daddy?"
"Yes Lily, she does."
"My teddy worked!" Lily squealed jumping into Hermione's arms and receiving the first hug from her mother in four years.

A script to gather information in the unlikely event that Informix Dynamic Server is hung has been available on UNIX for some time. The tbsupport.ksh script can be downloaded here: What to collect if Informix Dynamic Server gets hung.
Not long ago an equivalent Windows version called tbsupport.bat was published. The Windows version was updated at the end of 2006 to incorporate some additional Windows diagnostic commands such as msinfo32. The new Windows version can be found here: What to collect if Informix Dynamic Server gets hung on the Windows platform. Comments and suggestions for these scripts are always welcome.

According to a BBC report, you maywell be able to use your mobile when in the air and above 10,000 feet in European airspace, thanks to technology that will allow calls to be made without interfering with aircraft systems. However, that doesn't mean it will happen immediately. Currently, regulators are suggesting consultations on introducing the technology, and if it's given the go-ahead, it will still beat the discretion of individual airlines – although it's unlikely any will shy away from it as customers will expect and demand its introduction.
