Ship Weight:1.14 Servings:16 Dosage:2 Tablespoon(s) AquaFlora Candida High Potency Control Program - 16 oz. AquaFlora Candida High Potency Control Program is the first part of a three-month Candida Control Program. It temporarily relieves symptoms due to overgrowth of Candida albicans including: yeast infections, thrush, nail fungus, constipation, headache, nausea, itchy skin, fatigue, diarrhea, flatulence, forgetfulness, sleeplessness, and cravings. If you suspect that Candida overgrowth is your problem, you are not alone, and you truly can be helped. AquaFlora's Three Month Candida Control Program: AquaFlora's three different Candida Control Program products are specifically formulated in decreasing homeopathic strengths. The three month progam allows for the immune system to gradually and effectively recover and rebuild on its own. The program begins with two bottles of High Potency Control Program. Month One: 2 Bottles of High Potency Control Program Month Two: 2 Bottles of Phase 1 Control Program Month Three: 2 Bottles of Phase 2 Control Program (which can be used for as long as desired) Aquaflora is: Alcohol Free Sugar Free Glycerin Free Gluten Free No Toxic Chemicals No Dairy Taste Free Candida Symptoms The health imbalances caused by Candida can manifest in varied ways. The yeast fungi release mycotoxins (poisons) into the body, affecting different parts of the body in seemingly unrelated ways. For example, one person may get adult acne, the next, nail fungus, and another, bloating. Candida and its mycotoxins can cause all of these issues and many more. In fact, Candida can even penetrate the intestinal wall and be carried by the circulatory system throughout the body. In rare instances, Candida can become a systemic life-threatening condition. Yeast Infections Skin Irritations Nail Fungus Indigestion Headache Cravings Fatigue Forgetfulness Bloating However, for most people with Candida overgrowth symptoms, the balance can be regained and the internal terrain can be restored to normal functioning. Aquaflora offers a safe, natural, homeopathic approach to restore balance. How Aquaflora Works Aquaflora uses homeopathy, the time-tested natural science that has proven safe during 200 years of continuous use worldwide. Homeopathy is vibrational medicine based on a principle known for thousands of years: the Law of Similars which states, "like cures like." When the vibration of a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person is taken into the energy field of a person who is ill with those symptoms, the body has the information it needs to overcome the imbalance. The theory of vibrational science is supported by quantum physics: All matter, including the body, has a unique energy pattern: All life is energy; every nerve impulse in your body is an electric current; and every cell in your body is a mini-battery pumping out 70-110 millivolts, when healthy. Dr. Frank King, founder of King Bio -the makers of AquaFlora, discovered that if you optimize the energy of the body, you optimize your health. Charge your body with the right frequencies and you can attain superb health. By using multiple homeopathic potencies in this unique Bio-Energetically Enhanced, taste-free, pure water base, Aquaflora is lethal to Candida overgrowth, yet neutral to the human body. Using multiple strains of Candida in addition to other HPUS ingredients in homeopathic potencies, Aquaflora activates the immune system to correct the problems Candida overgrowth can cause. Aquaflora lab tests have shown the inhibition of Candida growth by 99.9%. What is Aquaflora? The name AquaFlora refers both to water (aqua) and the aggregate of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms normally occurring in the body (flora). The water King Bio uses is so much more than just "water"—it is a unique Bio-Energetically Enhanced, taste-free, pure water base that has been stripped of its additives and minerals, as well as its memory, and then re-energized with the frequency specific to each product. With Aquaflora, you can be sure that you are taking a remedy that is completely free of alcohol, sugar, glycerin, gluten, and toxic chemicals of any kind. The homeopathic ingredients used include multiple strains of Candida in the Bio-Energetically Enhanced, taste-free, pure water base. Tasting neutral like water, its delivery is easily administered and works everywhere in the body, rather than providing just a localized treatment to the intestinal tract. The official homeopathic ingredients are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. Each product is manufactured in strict accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and the FDA. A National Drug Code (NDC) number is assigned to each Aquaflora formula. The Candida Explosion – of Awareness Dr. William Crook, author of The Yeast Connection, began his research in the 1970s, and brought widespread attention to the health consequences of the overgrowth of Candida albicans. This yeast-like fungus can negatively impact the health of men, women, children, and even babies. As awareness of the problem has grown, many holistic doctors have realized that solving the Candida overgrowth problem can only help their patients' overall health. Many long-term sufferers have found that antifungals and supplements have not solved their problems. This may be because antifungals keep Candida from reproducing by introducing a foreign protein into the protein receptor in the yeast's cell wall. However, before the yeast "family" has completely died out from its inability to reproduce, it creates an enzyme to break down that specific protein – and then the Candida is back. Over time, the integrity of the intestines can be affected, potentially leading to more serious health conditions. Causes of Candida Albicans Overgrowth Many factors lay the unhealthy groundwork and set up the internal "terrain" for Candida overgrowth. Authorities familiar with the problem of Candida overgrowth, point to causative factors such as stress, poor diet (especially those high in simple sugars and refined carbohydrates), toxicity, alcohol, steroids, heavy metal toxicity, birth control pills, and the extended use of antibiotics. Each of these factors can produce an imbalance of unhealthy microorganisms in the intestinal tract by killing the "good" bacteria and leaving an overabundance of Candida yeast organisms. As the cells that normally keep Candida in check are overwhelmed, the Candida then "takes over." It proliferates in the gastrointestinal system, and can cause numerous unpleasant health imbalances such as yeast infections, thrush, fatigue indigestion, forgetfulness, and allergies to chemicals, pollens, and foods. It is also believed that toxins from the Candida cells and protein molecules provoke an antigen/antibody reaction in the body, which can cause even more allergic reactions. People with immuno-deficient diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, and psoriasis are even more susceptible to Candida overgrowth. Their weakened immune systems have difficulty maintaining a healthy balance of good bacteria, which is the first line of defense against Candida overgrowth. Frequently Asked Questions What sets Aquaflora homeopathic products apart? All AquaFlora products use multiple HPUS ingredients in multiple powerful potencies. This creates numerous choices of ingredients and potencies, which allows the body to use exactly what it needs from each formula. Dr. King has found that this advanced, contemporary approach to homeopathy minimizes any potential negative side effects while quickly bringing the body back into balance. Many symptoms of Candida overgrowth center around the gastrointestinal (GI) system. The upper GI is from the mouth to the stomach, and the lower GI is from the stomach to the anus. Optimum health depends on optimum digestion, absorption, and elimination, and Candida overgrowth disrupts the whole process. Aquaflora products help realign the whole system. Candida and heavy metal toxicity seem to go together. "Heavy metals" is a term generally used to refer to metals that can be toxic to human health, such as mercury, cadmium, and lead. In modern life, unfortunately, we are constantly exposed to toxic metals, and they can cause numerous symptoms. AquaFlora products are taste-free, which eliminates any potential resistance from finicky children or taste-sensitive adults in taking their recommended doses. The products have no dairy, no sugar, no alcohol, and no gluten. 2-ounce bottles offer easy and convenient medically metered spray dosages. This delivery method eliminates the need for dropper bottles or tiny tablets, and can be used as easily and discreetly in public as a spray breath freshener. What is homeopathy? Homeopathy, which means "similar suffering," is based on the natural principle known as the Law of Similars. This law states that a natural substance taken in a toxic dose creates a set of symptoms – physical, mental and emotional. If that natural substance is taken in a highly diluted, homeopathically prepared remedy, it can alleviate the same symptoms it produces when taken in concentration. Thus, "like cures like." The remedies stimulate the body's innate ability to heal itself. When this happens, the symptoms being manifested are remedied. This is different from allopathic medicine, which suppresses and manages symptoms. Homeopathy treats imbalances holistically by stimulating of the body's own healing response. Homeopathic medicines are prepared from natural substances. The use of micro-doses (highly diluted substances) guarantees the absence of toxicity and negative side effects. Is homeopathy safe? During more than 200 years of clinical use, homeopathic medicines have had no recorded side effects and no negative interactions with other drugs, and were the first of all the natural remedies to be registered with the FDA as pharmaceutical products. No other form of medicine has such a long track record of safety. King Bio -the makers of AquaFlora, offers a full line of homeopathic remedies that are powerful, physician-tested formulas, in a taste-free, pure water base. Aquaflora products have a three-year shelf life and are not affected by X-ray devices. About King Bio -the Makers of AquaFlora The Healing Revolution began 25 years ago with the establishment of King Bio. Its founder, Dr. Frank King, was inspired to find the root causes of illness and empower the whole person. He cultivated an interest in developing pure water-based homeopathic medicines – a type of natural product that was not, to his knowledge, being produced anywhere else. Committed to researching and developing this new homeopathic medicine, Dr. Frank King moved to Asheville, North Carolina, and opened King Bio in 1989. King Bio's mission has evolved into a journey of health, wholeness, and innovation. As an FDA-registered homeopathic pharmaceutical company, King Bio manufactures safe, natural, over-the-counter medicines and provides contract manufacturing and private label services. All of the homeopathic ingredients used are recognized by the FDA and the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS), and the medicines are produced in strict accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs). The Healing Revolution focuses on helping people discover their amazing life potential. AquaFlora medicines are formulated to target the mind and the body, bringing forth physical, mental and emotional well-being. Dr. Frank King's book, The Healing Revolution: Eight Essentials to Awaken Abundant Life, Naturally, offers a multi-dimensional lifestyle approach, empowering people to take back their health in Eight Essential areas of everyday life. Dr. Frank King developed AquaFlora's proprietary Bio-Energetically Enhanced pure water base, which is free of gluten, sugar, alcohol and glycerin. Using multiple ingredients at multiple, high potencies, Dr. King has formulated more than 500 condition-specific homeopathic medicines. Throughout their journey, King Bio has seen thousands of people find new joy and health by following the simple life-giving principles that make up the Healing Revolution - and that's something to celebrate!

The Brevard College women's basketball team returns home to open a three-game home stand when it steps out of conference to welcome Pfeiffer Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. at Boshamer Gymnasium in Brevard, N.C.
Schedule Notes: The Tornados (1-3, 1-2 SAC) picked up their first win of the season behind a strong defensive effort when they downed Tusculum, 63-55, in a South Atlantic Conference battle Tuesday night in Greeneville, Tenn. BC's defense suffocated the Pioneers in the first half holding them to a 16.1% from the field and carried a 28-18 lead into the half. TC would rally back to take a nine-point lead at the 5:43 mark of the second half. However, the Tornados would rip off a 21-4 run to end the game thanks to solid defense and eight made free-throws and three three-pointers. It marks the first time that BC defeated Tusculum on the road. After playing five of its first seven on the road, BC returns home for three before heading to Alaska before the Christmas break.
Fountain of Youth: The BC roster consists of 10 underclassmen, including four freshmen. Sophomore Katie Williams (12.8) and freshman Madison Lenox (10.3) pace the squad in points per game while freshman Chelsea Turner (4.7) sits second in rebounds per game.
Thrilling Three's: Senior Chezney McJunkin (66.7) and junior Taylor Hiatt (58.3) are first and second, respectively, in three-point percentage in the SAC. BC knocked down a season-high eight 3's in Tuesday's victory and has hit at least four trey's in every game this season. Turner paced the squad three three's at Tusculum.
It's Not Personal: The Tornados lead the conference by committing only 15.5 fouls per game. BC committed only 12 fouls at Tusculum while the Pioneers accumulated 25. It marks the second consecutive game the Tornados have only committed a dozen fouls.
Turner Thriving: Turner has made the most of her consecutive starts while playing a career-high 37 minutes, 11 points and four assists Tuesday. The Hickory, N.C., native enjoyed a turnover-free game and has only committed one foul all season. She drained a three at the 1:31 mark of the second half after hitting a pair of free-throws during a crucial stretch of the period.
Common Counterparts: Pfeiffer (1-5, 0-0 Conference Carolinas) opened up the season with three games against SAC opponents. The Falcons dropped a pair double digit games at Coker and to Catawba before falling in a double overtime thriller at Mars Hill, 91-85.
Wonderful Williams: The Falcons Carter Williams paces the team in nearly every offensive category. Williams logs 40.2 minutes per game while being the only Falcon to average double figures (16.2). The 5-5 guard leads the teams in assists (19), rebounds per game (7.2), three pointers made (14) and sits tied for second in steals (eight).
2012-13 Recap: Pfeiffer ran away from BC in the only meeting last season by earning an 85-57 victory Nov. 19, 2012. Williams and Hiatt each chipped in six points.
Series History: Pfeiffer has won two-of-three since 2008. BC won a thriller, 71-68, Dec. 19, 2011.

Terry - from Wayne, NJ
When used in baking, whole wheat flour gives a nutty flavor and a denser texture when compared to all-purpose flour. The baked item may not rise as high when whole-wheat flour is used, which is why a mixture of both whole-wheat and all-purpose (white) flour is often substituted when baking.
For example, if the recipe calls for two cups flour, try one cup of all-purpose and one cup of whole-wheat flour. When completely substituting whole-wheat for white, use 7/8 cup whole-wheat for one cup of white flour.
The problem cooks tend to run into is that because whole wheat flour is more dense, the end product can often seem heavy or solid. So if you're using whole wheat flour, lessen the density by sifting the flour a couple of times. This helps incorporate more air into the dough.

MALVERN, PA -- USA Technologies reports that All Stop, a southeastern Florida vending and foodservice operator, has signed an exclusive agreement with USAT for cashless payment and telemetry services, and indicated its intention of advancing to 100% cashless equipment. Under the terms of the three-year pact, All Stop will make use of USAT's ePort technology for cashless payment and telemetry hardware platforms as well as USAT's ePort Connect, a one-stop, comprehensive suite of services.
All Stop provides vending and coffee services in the counties of Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Broward. "We started our cashless transition using USAT with just a small number of machines, because we wanted to learn more," said owner Michael Helft. "Once it became clear to us that consumers were becoming increasingly familiar with cashless, we decided to run, not walk. In fact, we would like All Stop to be at 100% cashless by 2014."
The Florida vendor explained that technology is expanding far beyond the traditional "box" and his cashless strategy is about the economics and spending behaviors of consumers in his market, which is now seeing greater use of credit and debit cards, and likely mobile-based payment in the years ahead.

In part 2 of this interview, Jonathan Kohl discusses testing location-based services, the value of a good social network for crowdsourcing, and how poor optimization practices might literally burn a hole in your pocket.
In part 1 of this interview with Jonathan Kohl on mobile testing, he talked about some of the basics of testing applications for mobile devices and some of the challenges that traditional software developers face when going mobile. In part 2 of the interview, we discuss the testing of location-based services, the value of a good social network for crowdsourcing, and how poor optimization practices may literally burn a hole in your pocket.
Joey McAllister: What are some of the approaches to testing location-based applications? Is this a good excuse for testers to get out of their offices and go on long walks with the devices? Are there virtual tests if you can't get out of your office or if you need it to work in another country?
Without knowing what kind of location-based service is being tested, I want to try to take different things into account. What happens if I'm near tall buildings or if I'm coming in and out of dead spots? I can often infer what the application is doing based on the types of errors I get, but it's incredibly important to have it be correct.
I was teaching mobile application testing in Australia, and one of the applications people were testing was a transit application. It used location-based services, but it was about three blocks off. Three blocks off is probably fine for a social networking app, but it's not fine when I need to take a bus, train, or subway in a city I'm completely unfamiliar with.
You can use different ways of testing those scenarios locally. Some remote-device-access services will give you some of these benefits. Probably the easiest thing is some form of crowdsourcing, whether it's with a crowdsourcing service or people in your own network. Social networks are amazing things. There are some things you just can't do on your own, and some of these services help you extend your reach. If you've got enough followers who are interested, say, "Hey, people with different devices in different places, try this and tweet back" or "Next time you're in the airport in Japan, see if this application works or not." There are creative ways that we're going to have to use to try to solve some of these platform- and location-based issues.
Joey McAllister: What are some particular concerns you've encountered with popular mobile products like games, social applications, and mapping software?
Jonathan Kohl: A couple of the big things that are difficult are security and privacy. The devices themselves aren't that secure with their network connections, so it's easy for people to snoop in, crack your accounts, and find out personal information. But, privacy is a huge issue. Some of the big social applications get in trouble in Canada because they violate our privacy laws and they have to clean things up.
What I find a lot is people complaining about using social games where there's accidental leakage of their personal information. "Oh no! My boss can see my party pics from when we went to Mexico!" The applications tend to update quite a bit, to roll out new features, and to change things as they search for new revenue models. Bugs can occur where your personal information goes out there and you don't want certain people to see it.
With social games, people don't understand that you can be giving private information away. People will just hand their kid an app on an iPad, and there's some creepy person nearby who's sending things that aren't appropriate because they don't realize that it's a kid using the app. We take these devices everywhere, and it's really easy to end up in strange situations where you're giving away private information or allowing intimate access to strangers.
There's a huge growth in the data services space. You have all these powerful social applications with all this data, and there are APIs so you can tie in your application or your service. People can make connections with this data. One that got a lot of press lately was the Girls Near Me app. You could find single women within a certain radius of where you're using the application, and it could be really creepy if people didn't realize that they'd somehow made their data available to be accessed this way without their permission.

Please add only relevant, correct and up-to-date information. Do not edit the section with recommended Wikias, it is better to ask an admin to add a line to it.
Explanation Edit
Wikias are marked with two fuzzy labels: one for its size and the other for its activity. Even if there is no activity (the Wikia is dead), there is a chance that you will find some information if the number of pages is high. On the other hand, even an empty Wikia might be useful if it has several active and talkative contributors.
- Size of Wikia is determined by its Special:Statistics:
- empty: a newly created Wikia or an abandoned one, a handful of pages
- 100-: less than a hundred of content pages
- 1000-: less than a thousand, but more than hundred content pages
- 1000+: 1000-2000 content pages
- 2000+: 2000-3000 content pages
- 3000+: 3000-4000 content pages
- etc
- State of Wikia is determined by its Special:Recentchanges:
- prospering: dozens or hundreds edits per day
- striving: a couple of edits per day
- half-dead: a couple of edits every once in a while
- dead: no sensible edits in the last several weeks
- up for adoption: you can w:adopt this wikia
Unlike this occasionally updated page, Wikia status changes every day, so please do not get mad if you see that the information here is not true anymore, just fix it.

WATCH: Justin Bieber tells paparazzo 'Don't Talk' to me
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
Justin Bieber kept his cool while being hounded by a paparazzo on Wednesday.
The singer was walking through The Grove mall complex in Los Angeles when he politely told a photographer to quit peppering him with questions.
"You can keep filming; just don't talk," Bieber said.
Not surprisingly, the pap ignored the request, going on to ask, "You gonna reconcile with your girl, man? You and Selena good, man?"
Check out the video below:

Was a very very close fight I actually thought it was a draw when I watched it live so gonna have a look at it again now and see if I change my mind...
Re-match not really gonna happen any time soon tho, afaik Saul wants to fight LW's and move up the rankings at his new weight
A year and a half too late... posted earlier (like a week after the fight like most) then a rematch could have happened.
Good close fight.
Enjoyed Sledge's commentating.
Coffee drinker, prefer Pepsi and I'm kind of a big deal.
Was Sandy Holt a judge or was he just time keeping?

Third's close but Lobov nicked it for me.
You're talking razor thin margins though.
There's a case for a few different scores in Round 3 logically but a fight can have a completely different feel live than for those watching via video.
29-28 Artem if you're asking. 1 Rogers 2,3 Lobov
16-bit for life http://findingdyluck.blogspot.co.uk/
Lobov got robbed
They guy who invented Burpees , is a secret child molester
He was keeping an eye on the chap next to him so effectively yes because the timekeeper no showed.
A draw would be fair but I thought Artem had rounds 2 and 3 and Saul round 1 but as a lot of posters say things always tend to look different on video. I think it's a bit like watching a band live and then watching the video; or comparing the feel of an on-line lecture with one delivered live. When human beings are physically all in the same room, things just have a different feel to them in very undefinable ways - even if they are not actually directly interacting with each other. In this particular case, the commentary is an additional factor. Live you're not being swayed by the opinions of two alleged experts both offering you their interpretation of what you're seeing. I wouldn't therefore go so far as to say that Artem was robbed but with the benefit of hindisght, it might be fair to say he was unlucky not to have got the win
Any opinions I express on this forum are entirely personal opinions and it should not be assumed that they reflect the official view of any organisations I am connected with

Most monographs follow a rather formulaic approach: project descriptions, photos, supporting plans, and drawings. Plain Modern: The Architecture of Brian MacKay-Lyons delves deeper, with a narrative by architect and historian Malcolm Quantrill, who shares conversations he had with MacKay-Lyons, his staff, and clients during a half-dozen visits to Nova Scotia. However, MacKay-Lyons himself introduces each of the eight houses and six public works presented in the book. He writes that the discipline of studying the landscape and building traditions he grew up with involves "a deliberate process of progressive abstraction, beginning with local vernacular building forms. The resulting projects illustrate some of the fruits of this journey; like a trail of bread crumbs left in the woods, they enable me to find my way home." With a foreword by Glenn Murcutt and an essay by Kenneth Frampton on the Ghost Lab—the annual design/build party MacKay-Lyons hosts for students at his coastal farm—readers are treated to an intimate look at the man and what makes him tick.
Paging through David Salmela's first monograph, Salmela Architect, is like going on a meditative retreat. Set among quiet Northern Minnesota landscapes are buildings that are calm, crisp, and cool—spiritual in their beauty, yet complex in forms and references. Salmela writes in his preface that "each project is like chess: complex, with every game being different. A project may start summer reading the same ... but every subsequent move is a reaction, intuitive as well as structured."
Growing up on a farm in a Finnish community in central Minnesota, Salmela says he noticed small things—the orderly beauty of tilled fields, and how materials and colors created unique settings. Whether it's an abstract sauna or a rare restaurant commission, his buildings are both playful and cerebral, unexpected and acutely familiar. Author Thomas Fisher observes that Salmela has mastered the art of embracing opposites, believing that "every project offers an opportunity to explore an idea, to make a larger connection."
Arcadian Architecture, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's latest monograph, is a good choice for architects looking to lose themselves in a book, but it's not one to tote to the beach or take onto a plane. This hefty tome, with its 93/8-inch-by-133/8-inch trim size, includes sumptuous double-spread photography, eight gatefolds, detailed conceptual sketches, and construction documents, plus an 18-panel foldout showing 20 additional built and unbuilt projects. A lavish 40 pages are devoted to the Bill and Melinda Gates compound, a joint venture with Cutler Anderson Architects.
In his preface, Peter Bohlin writes of the firm's interest in exploring the ambiguous links between the past and the future, and in the contrast between permanence and invention. "We believe in an architecture that springs from ... the nature of its place, whether natural or man-made—the tilt and warp of the land, the sun and wind, rain and snow, its attitude, its spirit, the marks of man on a place." With its elegant graphics and alluring images, this is a book to be savored all summer long.
Using houses from the portfolio of architectural photographer Brian Vanden Brink as examples, Yale-trained architect Christopher Glass shows how Maine's best houses embody the age-old principles of careful siting, context, and proportion to their neighbors. The three sections of At Home in Maine: Houses Designed to Fit the Land examine renovated older houses, buildings converted to houses, and new houses.
"When is a style not a style?" asks David Weingarten in Bay Area Style: San Francisco Bay Region Houses. "When it is the Bay Region style." His book of 30 houses, arranged chronologically from 1892 to 2004, records a slew of architectural styles from English Arts and Crafts to English and French Gothic, International, Japanese, High Tech, and more. Adding to these curious influences are the distinctions of climate, topography, and risk-taking clients, which lead Weingarten to coin a catch-all label for Bay Area architecture: Picturesque Modernism.
In The Houses of Martha's Vineyard, architect Keith Moskow, a lifelong summer resident of Martha's Vineyard, presents 24 houses built during the past two decades by such noted architects as Robert A.M. Stern, Steven Holl, Margaret McCurry, and Jeremiah Eck. Descriptive text, site and floor plans, sketches, and study models help to elucidate the design ideas.
Eschewing what he calls "the bizarre, complex, highly personal, and exclusive quest for architectural novelty," Wayne Good seeks out modern interpretations of traditional architectural ideas and motifs, as portrayed in his monograph, Wayne L. Good, Architect, with its tagline: Tradition, Elegance, Repose.
With a foreword by Ray Kappe, Swatt Architects: Livable Modern showcases 13 of the San Francisco firm's most significant projects, all but two of them residential.
And finally, whether it's a black-and-white photo of whitewashed houses stacked "like a pile of sugar cubes" or an aerial sketch capturing a town's long, horizontal layers, Steven and Cathi House's Mediterranean Villages: An Architectural Journey offers a unique tour of village architecture in Italy, Greece, Dalmatia, and Spain.

How to discipline a toddler without being to harsh?
I have a hard time disciplining my seven year old son, he seems to listen everytime I am trying to explain why he cannot to that or this. But in the end he will still do it without my knowing. I don't know what to do..pls help..?
26th March 2014 10:20 PM #2
Dear asiulvenice,
It sounds like you are doing the right thing to me. Children will still want to test the boundaries no matter how much they understand what they can and cannot do.
I wonder if he is behaving inappropriately to get more attention. One excellent theory by L Knost (of Little Hearts Gentle Parenting) is, rather then punishing the bad behaviour, to give a child extra attention in these cases and really try to understand why they are doing things you don't want to do. For example, if you came into a room and your son had emptied the contents of the cupboard onto the floor then sit down with him and say something like 'ah that's a shame all these things are on the floor, shall we read a story together about a messy house and then make up a cleaning up dance'.
Does your son enjoy sports and outside activities? Do you think he has enough opportunities to do these?
I certainly believe that you are right to go down the gentle discipline route. Here is a link to a previous thread on gentle discipline which I hope you will find interesting. With gentle discipline, the focus in on your relationship with your child rather than the behaviour.
Warm wishes,

How to Rob a Bank in 2011 (or Plot It, at Least)
Position: Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee
His Committee's Stated Task: "[To oversee] all components of the nation's housing and financial services sectors including banking, insurance, real estate, public and assisted housing, and securities."
How This Could Go Wrong: Bachus once proclaimed that "In Washington, the view is that the banks are to be regulated, and my view is that Washington and the regulators are there to serve the banks."
Worth Noting: The financial service sector's there to serve Bachus, too, having deposited some pretty nice coin in his piggy bank! In other words: "No member of Congress comes close to Bachus's reliance on finance campaign contributions during the 2010 cycle."
Projected Performance: Finally, fat cats can redistribute their supple bonuses into American commodities (like hookers and blow) as they can rest assured they're being served well by the American electorate.
Position: Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform
His Committee's Stated Task: It has "jurisdiction to investigate any federal program and any matter with federal policy implications."
Interesting Fit for the Gig Because: Already seeking expanded subpoena powers in his quest to deal with "[Washington's] institutionalized waste, fraud, and abuse." In the past, Issa's (incidentally!) been quick to note that — like any good manager — some matters just aren't worthy of his attention. Like what Blackwater was up to in Iraq.
Predicted Performance: Someone may soon rethink his position on "pseudo-impeachment hearings."
10 People Who Should Probably Be Pardoned Already

By Todd Dybas The News Tribune
PEORIA, Ariz. — Shortly after catcher Mike Zunino was drafted third overall by the Seattle Mariners last year, he showed up at Safeco Field with his dad, Greg.
The Mariners were showing the new prospect, known for his defense, the cavernous park he hoped to play in one day.
Zunino was able to take batting practice that afternoon. His first few swings were mediocre. Then, he started launching balls over the wall. Over and over.
Everyone kind of looked around, surprised by the power display from the college kid from the University of Florida. More surprising were his numbers once he joined the Class A Everett AquaSox. Zunino hit .373 with 10 home runs and 35 RBIs in just 29 games.
That bumped him to Class AA Jackson. Zunino didn't slow down much.
Though it's a small sample, Zunino hit .333 with a .974 OPS in the 15 games he played for Jackson.
In his first spring training with the Mariners, Zunino, who looks every part of a catcher from a 1950s baseball card, is in Peoria along with five other catchers.
Following last season, he took a few weeks off before getting back to work in Gainesville, Fla., where he went to college. He lifted weights and worked on his conditioning to prepare for spring training.
Where he fits in, at this point, is unclear.
The Mariners have Jesus Montero slated as the No. 1 catcher and veteran Kelly Shoppach as the backup. The Mariners also just signed Ronny Paulino as another veteran option. Zunino says it doesn't matter to him where he starts the season.
"As long I can play to start the season is all that matters," Zunino said. "I'm going to come out here and compete and obviously play as hard as I can. Whatever happens, happens."
Zunino is known for his defensive ability, leadership and overall presence behind the plate. His bat? It's projected to be solid, yet last year's numbers still turned heads. They were also endearing to the organization.
"We knew he could hit," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "But, you're always curious to see how it translates to pro ball. Obviously, he didn't miss a beat."
Zunino didn't appeared fooled by the low-level minor league pitching he faced. He said a lot of pitchers started him with breaking pitches then worked fastballs inside, similar to the patterns he saw in college. At Class AA, pitchers began to try to set up Zunino, but he had narrowed things down before the at-bat started.
"As a catcher, I sort of try to catch on as quick as I can and designate at-bats, looking for a certain pitch in an at-bat," Zunino said. "That pitch was coming up when I was looking for it. It turned out pretty well."
Which is how Zunino's short time with the Mariners is turning out.
"(He's) impressive," Wedge said. "He's a complete player. Very comfortable in his own skin for a young man. I think that he carries himself with confidence but not any complacency. You can tell already he has a great respect for the game. You can tell already he's a student of the game."

Works pretty good for me.
By Cruiser
from Tampa, FL
I have a VERY bad case of Meniere's Disease that leaves me with ringing in the head and one ear that is 24/7. This machine along with Sleepphones help me sleep at night. I am planning on taking it on my cruises to help also.

I have been using this every night, leaving it on constant play. It diminishes the sounds of the tinnitus and allows me to get a better nights sleep. Rain sounds seem to work the best for me.

We would buy again
By Whistling Head
from La Quinta
I ordered the machine for my wife who suffers from Tinnitus. She particularly likes the rain sound to help offset the noise in her head. The 30, 60 and 90 minute automatic turn off is very useful. The fading of the sound at the end of the cycle is an added bonus.

Bauer erratic in second PCL start
D-backs' prospect allows one hit, walks five in five innings
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | May 23, 2012 10:16 PM ET
On one hand, he allowed a lone hit over five innings, left with a 2-1 lead and recorded his first hit since turning pro. On the other hand, he issued five walks, threw two wild pitches and ended up with a no-decision in the Reno Aces' 4-2 loss to the New Orleans Zephyrs.
"Disappointing. I'm a little, well, not happy with my performance," he said. "I had a couple mechanical things going on for whatever reason and I couldn't make the corrections, so I kept making the same mistakes.
"But I was able to keep my team in it and I competed well. I had good life on the ball, but I had no idea where it was going. My defense backed me up today."
While the bullpen was unable to preserve the lead and give Bauer his second Pacific Coast League victory, the D-backs' top prospect slapped an opposite-field single to right field in the fifth for his first Minor League hit.
"It was my first hit since my freshman year of high school," said Bauer, who was 0-for-16 with three walks and an RBI entering Wednesday's game. "I swung and I was really late on it and hit it off the end of the bat and it rolled along the chalk [up the first-base line]. I'm happy to get the first one out of the way. Hopefully, it won't take six more years for the next one.
"I wanted [the ball], but my first-base coach said I didn't want it. Hopefully, I'll get my first big league one some day."
Bauer threw only 42 of 89 pitches for strikes, went to three-ball counts on half of the 20 batters he faced and uncorked two wild pitches, the second of which scored a run.
The 21-year-old right-hander needed 16 pitches to get through a 1-2-3 first inning and threw 24 more in the second after walking a pair and striking out two.
Bauer had a 21-pitch third inning, arguably his most stressful of the evening.
Kevin Mattison -- the Marlins' No. 11 prospect -- drew a one-out walk, stole second and advanced to third on catcher Ryan Budde's throwing error. Gil Velazquez followed with a ground ball to third base and the Aces caught Mattison in a rundown, with Bauer applying the tag. Velazquez made it all the way to third on the play and scored on a wild pitch to knot the game at 1-1.
Scott Cousins delivered a two-out double and Gaby Sanchez walked, but Bauer retired Sergio Pedroza on a grounder to escape further damage.
"My glove side was weak and my back side hip was not firing very well. It was disappointing, for sure," the UCLA product said. "They're the two adjustments I can normally make, but I couldn't focus and make those changes. I would think about it on the mound, but as soon as I got my sign, I would make the same mistake. It was like washing my hair -- lather, rinse, repeat."
A leadoff walk to Marlins' No. 2 prospect Matt Dominguez produced another threat in the fourth, but Budde threw him out trying to steal second and Bauer set down his final five batters.
In his Triple-A debut on Friday, Bauer carried a shutout into the eighth against Oklahoma City. He finished with a career-high 11 strikeouts, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over eight innings.
It was a near-perfect introduction to life at Triple-A for Bauer, who made the nearly 2,200-mile trip from Alabama to Nevada.
"I packed up my entire apartment and had a couple friends and teammates over and said bye to them," he said. "I got my electric bill transferred and lease sorted, it was definitely a late night. I got to bed at 3 a.m. and I was up at 4 to get out for a 6:25 flight.
"I didn't have a roommate, so I either had to have the clubbie ship it home or bring it with me. I travel pretty light. Most of the stuff was my clothes and music, and that fits in my bags."
The transition to a new apartment in a new city has been a smooth one.
"Most times when moves are made, there is a spare room somewhere. [Third baseman] Ryan Wheeler had an open room, so I moved in with him," Bauer said. "He's great. He's into music, so we get along over that. He's a great guy."
Beau Jones (2-1) tossed a scoreless inning to get the win. Zephyrs starter Alex Sanabia allowed a run on a hit and three walks while striking out two over three frames before leaving with a groin injury.
Cousins and Gil Velazquez both had two hits and an RBI, while Sanchez reached base four times for New Orleans.
Wheeler, Arizona's No. 17 prospect, went 4-for-4 to raise his average to .325. Mike DeMark (3-3) took the loss after surrendering two runs on five hits over 1 1/3 innings.

Judicial Council Approves Emergency Funding for SF Superior Court
San Francisco – By a unanimous vote, the Judicial Council of California today approved allocation of $2.5 million in one-time emergency funding to the Superior Court of San Francisco County to assist the court in reducing courtroom closures and staff layoffs.
The emergency funding, with other resources made available to the court, would enable the court to keep open a sufficient number of courtrooms and provide other services to adjudicate both civil and criminal cases and provide the public with equal and timely access to justice. The agenda and transcript for today's Judicial Council meeting are available online. (Listen to audio, 2:06)
"The spirited discussion at today's meeting reflects the Judicial Council's unwavering commitment – not to just one group of citizens – but to the entire state of California," stated Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, chair of the Judicial Council. "Despite false information about the Judicial Council's intentions and ad hominem attacks on the AOC and the council, we remain vigilant in our obligation to improve the administration of justice for all Californians."
The council took the action in response to the Superior Court's emergency funding request, which results in part from the unprecedented $350 million reduction in the statewide judicial branch budget in fiscal year 2011-2012. The council's action included a number of conditions to assure accountability and appropriate use of the emergency funding.
The $2.5 million will come from a special reserve fund that is part of the Trial Court Improvement Fund. The Improvement Fund was created by Government Code section 77209 and requires a portion of the fund to be set aside and not allocated until after March 15 of each year unless allocated to a court or courts for "urgent needs." The total amount of the fund is $9.8 million for fiscal year 2011-2012.
In addition to the $2.5 million in "urgent needs" funding, the Judicial Council has already authorized $645,960 for the Superior Court to continue operations of its two complex civil litigation departments. This funding is from the statewide Judicial Administration Efficiency and Modernization Fund for six courts, including San Francisco, that participate in the council's complex civil litigation program.
Conditions of Emergency Funding
As part of its action today, the Judicial Council approved certain conditions that will apply to the allocation of emergency funding. Council members noted that they are in the process of developing new statewide criteria for courts to use when applying for such funds. The conditions approved for the San Francisco include the following:

Between cloud computing, crowd-sourced testing, and even the recent claim that "test is dead," what's a boutique tester to do? Matthew Heusser offers his thoughts.
Three years ago, back when I had one of those day job things, I published a paper called " The Boutique Tester ." Since that time, I've gone independent, sold testing and training services, had a chance to test the business model, met a bunch of people who were also trying it out, and watched the world change. Between cloud computing, crowd-sourced testing, and the recent claim that "test is dead," I daresay the freelance software landscape looks different than it did three years ago.
If you want to become a boutique tester, or if you're thinking about collaborating with one, I have a few suggestions.
Any New, Disruptive Service Has Sales Challenges
The Boutique Model requires a fair bit of speed; your contract will be a short one, where you are air-dropped into a project and take off. If the paperwork takes a few weeks to process and the contract then needs approval from HR, legal, and a vice president, then the software may have already shipped by the time the contract is approved! This can make working with large companies difficult. In addition, those large companies tend to want employees on long contracts for forty hours a week, and they prefer to deal with institutions, not individuals. You can see how selling boutique testing services might be harder than it seems.
Large companies do have one advantage: They have budget, while startup and small companies might not. Yet, the small company has a lot of other benefits, like the ability to make quick decisions and the kinds of development practices to which a boutique tester can add the most value. Several of my colleagues have managed to carve out a niche by testing a few hours here and there for multiple startups at the same time, but I've found that medium-sized companies are the easiest to get into. By "medium-sized," I am not talking about number of people but rather the company's mentality. A medium-sized organization is successful enough to have budget but small enough to make decisions quickly. Like large organizations, medium organizations tend to want extended contracts for forty hours a week, which makes losing a single customer kind of a big deal—the sort of risk the Boutique Model is designed to avoid.
It's not business nirvana, but I've been independent for nine months now and am looking to stay that way.
Everyone Wants Test Automation
Ten years after James Bach published "Test Automation Snake Oil," I continue to get calls from companies that want me to come in for a three-month project to fix a broken test automation framework. Why is it broken? Some contractor came in for a three-month contract, wrote a bunch of stuff, then left. The company hit a crunch time, modified the GUI, and now the test automation is a big mess on the floor.
In a year, is this company going to call someone else to fix the code that I wrote?
The potential client often says that the great Matthew Heusser "really gets this stuff" and can design a "maintainable framework." That's flattering and all, yet I can't help but notice that the system forces are exactly the same for me as they were for the previous contractor. Nothing has changed. I do think I have something to offer these companies, but I'm not excited about answering that specific call or tricking them by coming in to do something other than what they're asking. So far, I have always had a better opportunity to pursue.
Don't get me wrong. All the teams I've been working with automate some
User Comments
Hi Matt,
Thanks for this article. I liked this article for two reasons:
Your experience speaks in most of the sentences. It was like listening to the open lecture by James.
It is a good continuation of your first article on 'The Boutique Tester'. Not only you pointed the benefits, you also highlighted where one could go wrong.
I am sure that this article will be very helpful to many testers out there.

First of all you cant send everything through a proxy server. Depending on the type of proxy, you can only send certain types of traffic - http traffic (and sometimes traffic supporting the connect method) for a http proxy, socksified traffic for a socks proxy.
Two common methods used to force supported traffic through a proxy are transparent proxying and configuration of firewall rules to deny all outgoing traffic not travelling through the proxy.
Id go with the firewall rule method personally, as you have more control. Just setup rules on your router (assuming its the only path to/from the Internet) to allow traffic to the proxy, and to allow DNS, but to deny all other traffic. Then configure your browser to use the proxy.
Your router needs to support setting of rules to control outgoing traffic. It will require some tuning to get working, and you should know something about how to run a firewall.

Evolution Hoax
(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview dated September 29, 2010)
"Why do their scholars and rabbis not prohibit them from evil speech and acquiring ill-gotten gains? What an evil thing they invent!" Surat al-Ma'ida, 63)
Allah says that Jewish scholars should warn them on this subject. And some Jews really are very parsimonious. This is a miracle of the verse. Not even the wealthiest will spend his money. Whoever does that is cursed. The reference is to people doing that there. Because there are children and innocent people among them. Allah is generous and gives you your daily bread in plenty. He gives more or less to whoever He pleases. As revelation comes down, some people grow very fanatical. Some Jews and Christians turn nasty. That will last until the Day of Judgment. The verse refers to the Jews, a struggle between Jews, enmity and hatred between them. They have fought many battles. But the atheist ones. He says that these atheist Zionists shed blood and spread corruption. But innocent Jews are excluded from this; it does not refer to those who regard Muslims as the People of Noah, who treat them with respect and affection, who respect the Book and who speak of the true nature of our Prophet (saas) and the Qur'an. The reference here is to those of the People of the Book who oppress and are immoral. There are moral and immoral Muslims and Christians and Jews. Allah speaks of prostitution in the Torah and says He will have His revenge. For example, He says in the Qur'an "You will find the people most affectionate to those who believe are those who say, 'We are Christians.' "Great value should be attached to modest, innocent Christians, and one can have dealings with them. The Qur'an distinguishes between moral and immoral Muslims, Jews and Christians.2011-02-26 21:11:39

Rodarte Spring 2013
God bless the maverick Mulleavy sisters; they certainly bring a uniquely idiosyncratic blend of crazy inventiveness and a perversely sophisticated loving-hands-at-home passion (think macramé, patchwork, quilting) to the New York collections that sets them apart from anything else to be seen here. This season their imaginations ran wild.
"Medieval fantasy world," said Kate backstage after the gloriously quirky Rodarte show. "Fantasy role-playing games," chimed Laura. What roles did the sisters have in mind? "I think it could be anything," said Laura, but then reconsidered and added, "being who you imagine your best self could be."
There was certainly a hint of a sci-fi Galahad in the armorial silhouettes, often built up with a variety of unexpected fabric combinations—horsehair, leather, iridescent synthetics, geometric-pattern perforated lace, filmy chiffons, and heavy-bodied silks—in a wintry palette of pastels un-prettified with black and jewel tones. Like eighties Flash Gordon heroines, the opening looks featured strapless dresses with short, triangular-shaped skirts with complicated built-in breastplates (sometimes created by origami-pleating the fabric) worn over printed second-skin turtlenecks. Matelassé brocades stiff as samurai armor were used for cuirass bodices, peplum flaps, and even molded epaulets. And there was a hint of an arcade-game Guinevere in the drifts of chiffon printed with flowers and ivy tendrils, and in the belts garlanded with ropes of steely chain.
Tina Turner's striking costumes from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome may have been an inspiration too, and if yours is a Hell's Angels fantasy, there were some fantastic black leather biker jackets with a vague hint of eighties Claude Montana, overscaled and reproportioned, and bristling with leather fringe and inset with fiery licks of shantung—and leather pants slashed and cross-laced from here to eternity.
In a season where footwear is sobering up, the Mulleavys opted instead for elaborate high-rise shoes with molded (laser-cut) heels and complicated strap treatments in a patchwork of fabrications and colors. But then again, with sensory overload on the brain, why stop at the ankle?

Although glass is one of the most easily recycled materials, more recycled content should be used in the creation of new glass products. Manufacturers of glass containers aim to incorporate 50 percent recycled material in new bottles by next year, however, with notable benefits. According to the Glass Packaging Institute, "using 50% recycled glass to make new glass containers would save enough energy to power 21,978 homes for one year and remove 181,550 tons of waste from landfills every month."
Typically, the origins of recycled container glass are not detectable in new products. However, the Japanese design studio Nendo has developed a second life for Coca-Cola bottles, retaining the imprint of its manufacturer's mark. The new line of tableware, called Bottleware, is made of the distinct green glass of original Coke bottles. Nendo has embellished each piece with the subtle, recognizable embossed pattern on its bottom surface.
The set of products is a compelling example of visible chain-of-custody, since no papers need accompany the new materials to prove their origin. It also represents a positive example of functional upcycling, as one would hope to use Bottleware for a much longer duration than the short life of a soft drink.

If you want to propose a link to be included in the next tidbit post, simply post it in a comment under this one.
Here's another roundup of minor Fallout-related tidbits (mostly related, of course, to the upcoming Fallout: New Vegas). If you have more, please post them here in the comments rather than in separate newsposts - they'll be included in the next tidbits post.
The Nexus Network has launched New Vegas Nexus, the Fallout: New Vegas counterpart to their great modding site, Fallout 3 Nexus.
Talking About Games interviews Pete Hines in their podcast.
USA Today has an article about "Five Things You Didn't Know About Fallout: New Vegas". If you've been following The Vault's news, chances are you know all of it already.
While no reviews have been officially released yet (aside from the questionable one mentioned above), some of the reviewers have posted snippets in tweets and forums.
Andrew Reiner (Game Informer executive director):
Starting up a third playthrough of New Vegas.
Sorry gang, I can't comment on the game until Tuesday. All my playthroughs will make sense once you read the review.
@ZacharyLevi Killed you in Fallout: New Vegas. Thanks for the experience points!
I can say that I was able to play NV to completion without being stopped by bugs.
(about the review) @ShawnScot it'll be Tues or Wed."
Daniel Vavra (screenwriter on Mafia I & II):
Hated the story and quests of Fallout 3. Love the story and quests of New Vegas."
Jim Sterling (review editor for Destructoid):
First Jimpressions of New Vegas: As far as I am concerned, Alpha Protocol never happened now. Slate's clean.
Played New Vegas for two days and have only officially completed two quests. Fucking hell!
I in no way mean to imply that that's a BAD thing, either.
New Vegas has officially overwhelmed me. I have so many quests going on and don't know where to start. This is terrifying and awesome."
Tom Chick on Quarter to Three:
How do you know I'm playing? :)
I'm not sure I could even begin to give a thumbs up or thumbs down yet. I can certainly say this is a huge game. I'm about 25 hours in and still pretty overwhelmed by the breadth of stuff to do. It's very Fallout 3.
I will say it's got some really disappointing tech and balance issues. The Xbox 360 version has locked up on me several times and I've heard the same from a colleague who's also playing. In addition, there seems to be some sort of memory leak. I was about ready to just throw in the towel, convinced that the geometry and effects in the actual New Vegas area were too much for the engine. But I cleared the memory cache (not sure if that actually does anything) and restarted my 360, and that made a world of difference. Now I'm making a point to quit out every few hours.
And although I love the hardcore mode in theory, in practice it hasn't been the least bit challenging. Thanks in part to Fallout's lack of a real economy, the hardcore mode just feels like an extra layer of futzing. It's more flavor than difficulty, I'd say.
I'll be doing a game diary series on Fidgit next week and a full review for Gameroni, Jason's site, when I'm done.
To which J.E. Sawyer has replied in the Obsidian forum:
BTW, yes, clearing your Xbox 360 memory cache really does do something!
We did find some legacy memory leak issues but I believe we fixed them.
However, memory fragmentation will inevitably occur in this engine, which is why clearing a 360's cache can *~ automagically ~* make Oblivion/F3/F:NV go from unstable to stable in some circumstances."
Attack of the Fanboy has published the first Fallout: New Vegas "review", giving it 3 out of 5. However, it is not certain whether the reviewer actually played the game, as it has no new info and only previously released official screenshots, and given that the official review embargo will only be lifted tomorrow.
The graphics in New Vegas don't seem to be much of an overhaul for a game that is now a couple years old, it would have been nice to see improvements made to better the franchise for the fans. Don't get me wrong, New Vegas looks amazing at times. New Vegas itself is actually pretty interesting, colorful, and distinguishes itself in a stark contrast to the rest of the game. But, everything else looks pretty much the same. It is almost as if the developers just used the assets from Fallout 3 made a few new areas to turn the capital wasteland into the Mojave wasteland and called it a game.
In addition to the graphics feeling a bit dated, Fallout New Vegas' story just never hit home with me the way that Fallout 3's did. Maybe it was the fact that Fallout 3 was my first title in the series to have ever played so I didn't really know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. This one not so much."
Producer Tess Treadwell about the project:
The Obsidian crew and our comrades at Bethesda have spent almost two long, hard years on this project. Tomorrow at midnight, Fallout: New Vegas will be (officially) out in the wild. For anyone interested, a bunch of us are going to be signing copies at the GameStop in the Irvine Spectrum. Anyway, I think I speak for all of us when I say we're a bit nervous, but the review scores we've received so far are stellar. And to be honest - in the end, nothing the critics or consumers can say will take away from all the love and care and hard work we've all put into this game."
Additionally, just before the premiere, Fallout: New Vegas is #2 on Steam's top seller list.
Also, you can look up Gamestop stores with midnight launch events for New Vegas.

The Oakland A's added another experienced pitcher to their bullpen mix on Tuesday when they signed veteran reliever Hideki Okajima to a minor-league contract with an invite to big league spring training. The former Boston Red Sox's set-up man joined the A's in Phoenix on Tuesday.
Okajima was a member of the Boston bullpen for four seasons (2007-2010). Coming over from Japan, Okajima was instrumental to the Red Sox's bullpen in 2007, when the team won the World Series. He had a 2.22 ERA that year with 63 strike-outs and only 50 hits allowed in 69 innings. He was voted in by the fans to the All-Star game that season, but did not pitch in the game. When he threw 2.1 innings of scoreless relief in game two of the 2007 World Series, Okajima became the first Japanese-born pitcher to pitch in the World Series.
Okajima had a 2.61 ERA in 2008 and a 3.39 ERA in 2009, but his performance fell off in 2010 (4.50 ERA with a 33:22 K:BB ratio). He didn't make the Red Sox's Opening Day roster in 2011 and would end up appearing in only seven games with the Red Sox. He would spend the majority of the year with Triple-A Pawtucket, where he had a 2.29 ERA with 48 strike-outs and nine walks in 51 games.
Last season, Okajima signed with the New York Yankees, but he was released during spring training when it was revealed he failed a physical. He would return to Japan and would pitch for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks. Okajima was healthy all season for the Softbank Hawks and he appeared in 56 games. In 47 innings, the left-hander had an 0.94 ERA with 36 strike-outs and six walks.
Okajima, 37, is one of nine non-roster pitchers in A's big league camp. He is also one of several left-handed relievers in camp for Oakland. A's lefty relievers include 40-man roster members Travis Blackley, Jerry Blevins, Sean Doolittle, Pedro Figueroa and Jordan Norberto, and non-roster invitee Justin Thomas. Left-handed starters Andrew Werner (40-man roster) and Garrett Olson (NRI) could also see some time as relievers.
Okajima is expected to be part of a battle for the final two bullpen spots.
Other News and Notes:
- According to Baseball America's Matt Eddy, the A's have released right-hander Matt Thomson and infielder Nino Leyja.
Thomson was the A's 12th-round pick in 2010 out of University of San Diego. Thomson was the first of back-to-back picks by Oakland out of USD that year (the A's took A.J. Griffin in the 13th round). Thomson starred in his professional debut season with Vancouver and Stockton, but he finished the year with a sore shoulder that wound-up being a torn labrum. He made only a handful of appearances in 2011 and one in 2012. Thomson is a native of Santa Rosa.
Leyja was the A's 15th-round pick in 2008 out of a Houston-area high school. He had a strong debut with the A's Rookie League team that season, batting .315 with an 862 OPS. Leyja struggled swinging the bat the next four seasons, however, never posting an OPS above 700. He appeared in 48 games for High-A Stockton last season and hit .211/.278/.304 in 161 at-bats.
- Michael Ynoa has yet to arrive at A's big league camp. The 6'7'' right-hander, who was added to the 40-man roster this off-season, has the chicken pox, according to the A's beat writers at camp. Ynoa has yet to play in a full-season league and is expected to be sent back to minor league camp with first cuts so that he can compete for a spot on the Low-A Beloit roster.
