To help customers looking for a new home insurance policy, we have provided some general information below to aid you in making a decision that is right for you.
There are three main kinds of home insurance policy:
Covers the structure of your home, usually including the walls, roof, floors, doors and windows, so you could be eligible to make a claim if damage occurs to any of these. It generally includes permanent fixtures, such as bathroom suites, kitchen units and in-built wardrobes, as well as outbuildings like garages, sheds and greenhouses.
Take care of the things that aren't part of the structure of your home. This usually includes: furniture, electronics, jewellery, freezer contents, carpets and curtains, and clothing. However, it does not cover wear and tear, intentional or accidental damage or damage caused by your pets.
Here are a few things to consider when looking for an insurance policy to suit you.
If you own a listed building or if your property has an unusual feature such as a thatched roof, you may need specialist cover.
While it's generally advised that you take out both, it does depend on your individual circumstances. Insurance providers often provide individual policies as well as joint policies.
All policies have their limits so you need to make sure that your home is covered for the rebuild value rather than the market value. It's also worth costing your contents to make sure your chosen policy will be enough to cover it all.

script-solution for on-the-fly-content-scraping/site-building
Orçamento $100-300 USD
i need a script-solution for on-the-fly-content-scraping/site-building.
it should work like this:
i activate catchall-subdomains on my server, so each possible subdomain-entry of a user will be redirected to one page.
now, if i type in [url removed, login to view], the script redirects me to the main-page and then it generates a page with content about cars on the fly on that main page. this content-generation will be done with the following technique: the script searches for rss-feeds and search engine-results (yahoo api) about cars just like the free script: rssgm ([url removed, login to view]) does. and then it takes a random number of that found sentences, randomizes this content by markov chain (so it will be unique) and then put it on the page. between the sentences the script should spread a random number of random chosen outgoing links (for example between 2 and 6) at random places. it gets the links by searching in search engines for the specific keyword (in this case: cars) also the page should have a link to itself on it and maybe some other things.
it is important that each virtual page has always the same content on it with some updates after some days.
solution: today the virtual subdomain [url removed, login to view] was called by a user.
the script now sets a flag that this virtual subdomain is in use. after some time many more subdomains will be in use and will get the flag too. in a cron-job-section of the script i can predefine something like this:
each day select one of the virtual domains which are in use (flagged) and add between 5-10 sentences more to it when it will be called. (scraped with the page-main-keyword) possible solution for the problem with the same content: each auto-generated virtual page should get a random-seed identifier by the script so that each time a specific subdomain is called, the same kind of randomization will be used and the script can reproduce the same site.
the thing is: i want to automate as much as possible of the whole process to build an adsense- (or affiliate)-site network. maybe you have additional ideas for that?
here are some more detailed things the script should have in it:
- easy to use template-system, so i can use or change adsense or other affiliate-system on each page easy
- an automatic keyword-digger (with keyword-filter), which diggs a predefined number of steps deep in the overture-keyword-tool, google-kw-tool and adwords-tool (for synonyms and so on) and then write these keywords as subdomains in a txt-file:
[url removed, login to view]
[url removed, login to view] and so on
but better it would be (because of fast indexing in se), if every found alternatives of a keyword will be added as sub-subdomain.
example for the keyword "car": the script finds: "fast cars", "cool cars", "big cars"
then it adds the keywords to the textfile as:
[url removed, login to view]
[url removed, login to view]
[url removed, login to view]
[url removed, login to view]
important: each subdomain from a group of keyword-alternatives should have some links to the other subdomains of the group in it. (interlinking each theme)
now i can copy these virtual subdomains from the textfile and get backlinks for them.
do you think, that the on-the-fly system is good for many visitors on a server? could i install it on a webspace-account? would the script eat much of the server-performance? do you think it would be much better to write each first-called page as static html-page? (but then i must use much more webspace)
if you would program the script for me, what would be if the script has some bugs after creation? do i have bugsupport from you? (sorry for my bad english)
what would be, if i decide to add some more little things to the script in the future? could you program it for me cheap? (with discount)
could we include an installation on one server and a little help-support, if i have problems to get the script to work on some servers in the future?
please write to me, if you could program such a script inexpensive under this conditions and if you have some more good ideas for it.
after creation, before i pay you, i want to see a demo please.
ATTENTION: please contact me on the message board to clearify things. i couldn't accept bids without message-board-contacting.
best regards

Nervy finish but Dragons hold on
Dec 14 2008 by Rob Freeman, Wales On Sunday
WREXHAM took their first steps on the road to Wembley yesterday as they added to managerless Mansfield's woes with a hard-earned FA Trophy first-round victory.
Early strikes from Jonathan Brown and Ashley Westwood ensured the Dragons' debut in the competition ended in triumph and made amends for their shock Setanta Shield reverse to Southport four days earlier.
However, Dean Saunders was not a happy man after Aaron O'Connor's 69th-minute effort set up an unnecessarily nervy finish.
The Wrexham boss said: "I lost count of how many goals we could and should have scored so we have to be more ruthless. I thought I was in for a nice afternoon that would allow me to bring certain players off, but we made it difficult for ourselves in the end. The last 10 minutes was painful. They had far too many chances and we weren't ruthless enough so I'm not going home happy. But I've got to say the lads kept going and showed a lot of effort."
The win was Saunders' ninth in 13 matches since taking over from Brian Little and proves his Midas touch extends to the cups.
Saunders has steered the Dragons to the brink of the Blue Square Premier play-off places with a run of seven successes in eight league outings.
But, up until yesterday, he had not been able to work his magic in knockout competitions, with his side's loss to Southport coming hot on the heels of their FA Cup humiliation at the hands of Eastwood Town.
While Saunders admits the Setanta Shield was never high on his list of priorities, he showed his displeasure at the result by making six changes to the XI that started against the Sandgrounders.
And the changes had the desired effect as Wrexham deservedly defeated a Mansfield team who came down with them from League Two last season – but only just.
A first half to savour for the Racecourse faithful began in the third minute when winger Brown scored for the second time since arriving on loan from Cardiff City.
And he owed it all to the silky skills of Marc Williams, who collected Sam Williamson's throw in and skipped past two defenders before providing Brown with a simple tap-in.
Williams nearly got in on the act eight minutes later only for Jamie Annerson to brilliantly turn over the on-fire forward's downward header.
But it proved to be brief respite for the Stags as captain Westwood, with the aid of a deflection, nodded in Nathan Woolfe's resulting corner.
The hosts were dominating and it took a string of fine blocks from Matt Somner to deny the Dragons towards the end of a one-sided opening period.
But the visitors, without a boss following Billy McEwan's midweek dismissal, improved after the break. And, with Dragons right-back Neil Taylor down hurt, they reduced the deficit when Emile Sinclair teed up strike-partner O'Connor to fire in from close range.
Mansfield were now on the front foot and only a fantastic low save from Gavin Ward stopped O'Connor from making it a quick-fire double.
And, after Marc Williams hit the post, the pacy O'Connor went closer still as he turned a cross from the increasingly-dangerous Sinclair over the bar.
But Wrexham, with debutant Steve Abbott on for the injured Patrick Suffo, held on to secure their place in the last 32.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. For dry pasta, cook to al dente, for fresh, wait until sugo is ready before you cook the pasta as it only takes 2 to 3 minutes. Salt the boiling water liberally before cooking either form of pasta.
Heat the stock and saffron over medium heat in a sauce pot and reduce by about half, about 15 minutes.
While the stock infuses and water comes to boil, heat a large deep skillet with extra-virgin olive oil, a couple turns of the pan, over medium heat. Add the fennel seeds and toast for 1 minute. Add the meat, raise the heat to medium-high and season the meat with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the sage, red pepper flakes and paprika. When the meat is brown, add the garlic and the onions and cook together a few minutes more to soften the onions. Add tomatoes and crush, then bring the sauce to a bubble, reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Stir in a few leaves of torn basil.
When the pasta of choice is ready, add the infused stock to the sauce. Toss in the drained pasta and serve in shallow bowls with crusty bread and lots of pecorino cheese.

Here in Old Blighty, stifling heat is such a rarity, that when it hits us, we're usually usually rendered completely and utterly useless.
Suddenly, we lament our lack of air con, baulk at the idea of stepping foot on public transport and fail to concentrate at our desks.
Most problematic of all (besides sharing a train carriage with the great unwashed) is the impossibility of sleep.
Oh sure, you bought a stand up fan sometime back in 2012, when the last heat wave struck, but it's probably now at the back of the attic under a pile of old carpet cuttings.
So, in this hot flash of July, as most of the world stares blankly at the ceiling, willing sleep to come despite pools of sweat forming on the sheets, the hilarious among us are taking to Twitter, proving that in any crisis big or small, the Brits still have their sense of humour.
Here are the best of the bunch:

Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas expressed his "sadness and sorrow" on Wednesday over the death of former President Shimon Peres.
Abbas sent a message of condolence to the family of Israel's ninth president, according to the official PA news agency, WAFA.
"Peres was a partner in making the brave peace with the martyr Yasser Arafat and Prime Minister [Yitzhak] Rabin, and made unremitting efforts to reach a lasting peace from the Oslo Agreement until the final moments of his life," Abbas said, according to WAFA.
Peres is to be laid to rest at the Mount Herzl military cemetery, in the section reserved for Israel's founding fathers. He will be laid to rest five meters from Rabin.
However, the same official PA news agency also issued a venomous obituary for Peres in which the former president was said to be responsible for the "deaths of Palestinians" and "many crimes." Peres was described in an official statement from the PA government as having been responsible for having built the Dimona nuclear reactor, and there was no mention of the 93-year-old statesman's role in "making the brave peace" or for having tried to reach a "lasting peace" via the Oslo Accords — for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize, together with Israel's late Prime Minister Rabin, and late PLO terror leader Yasser Arafat.
Meanwhile, the Hamas terrorist organization based in Gaza — which is also part of the Palestinian Authority — welcomed the death of the former Israeli president.
Sami Abu Zukhri, a spokesperson for Hamas, said "The Palestinian people are happy at the death of this criminal.
Shimon Peres was one of the last Israeli founders of the occupation. His death marks the end of an era in the history of the Israeli occupation," he told the AFP news agency.
Peres will be laid to rest on Friday, and it is not yet known whether or not the Palestinian Authority will send a delegation to the funeral.

Fighting in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is raging, and once again it's the women and children who bear the brunt of the conflict. And once again, refugees are walking night and day in search of safety, food and shelter.
From the outside, this part of the world often feels completely forgotten, pushed aside and completely misunderstood. Conflict in Congo is complicated, deadly and impacts all of its neighboring countries. I've spent a lot of time in DRC and in the region, helping where I can and showing the people that they are not forgotten.. The Congolese are some of the most resilient, most beautiful people I've ever met. To me they represent both the tragic nature and shining hope of the region.
The Congolese population has once again been taken hostage by the violence and corruption that has unfortunately become normal to their society. Night attacks targeting remote villages have forced thousands to leave everything behind in desperate search of safety for their families.
Since the beginning of April, thousands have fled to Goma, the capital of North Kivu and elsewhere in eastern Congo. Many thousands more have crossed the border to Rwanda. Another four thousand have made the trek to safety across the Ugandan border and they keep coming.
All these people share the common need for security, stability and a chance to regroup and refocus their lives. In all three countries, governments and humanitarians are scrambling to mobilize the necessary resources to assist these new refugees.
This large movement of refugees threatens a new humanitarian crisis in the region. I visited Uganda earlier this month to talk to the Congolese, understand what happened to them, how they were coping with their misfortune. With the help of the World Food Programme, I visited two refugee settlements in the southwest border region of the country.
The first settlement I visited is called Nakivale. It's the oldest one in the country, and also the most crowded. Over sixty thousand people live in the settlement and it's already considered over capacity. Despite that, more people continue to arrive every day.
At the reception center in Nakivale, a woman standing with her baby in her arms told us how she walked for two weeks to reach the Ugandan border. She said her husband was killed in the middle of the night. The only thing she knew about the men who killed him was that they had guns. After losing her husband, she felt she had to leave to protect her children. In Nikavale, the Ugandan government will give her a small plot of land to farm and the WFP will give her monthly food rations to help her find a semblance of stability and rebuild her life.
There's a reason Nakivale and other settlements are not called camps in Uganda. They are set up in the country side, in areas that are green and quiet. Most people do not live in tents, but rather in small houses -- most of them clay huts -- that they build themselves. They form little villages where refugees often live among their own communities of origin. The Ugandan government allows them to settle in the area for years depending on the individual circumstances.
There's an efficient system in place to make sure that the people's basic needs are met. The World Food Programme provides food until families are able to feed themselves, a process that can take years for single women and for those living with the trauma of their displacement. There are clinics where people receive free medical services and where WFP treats the malnourished. On the day I visited, mothers were receiving Super Cereal, a fortified mix of corn and soya flour that is specifically designed to treat malnutrition.
One of World Food Programme's most critical programs ensures that children and pregnant or breastfeeding mothers receive adequate nutrition.. This is crucial as malnutrition in the first 1,000 days of a child's life can lead to irreversible damage to their minds and bodies.
WFP also took me to Kyaka II, a settlement that houses sixteen thousand people, most of them from DRC. I spent the day talking to refugees, visiting their houses and listening to their concerns. As the day ended, I noticed a teenager standing a few feet away from us, barefoot, wearing clothes almost completely torn apart. When I approached him, he started explaining that he had fled Congo alone because his parents had been killed. He was in Uganda, trying to find security and cope with his loss while relying entirely on the help the World Food Programme, the Ugandan government and other organizations are providing.
After two days spent in the settlements, it's quite clear that the needs of the refugee population are great and basic; food, water, sanitation and shelter. One thing the long-term refugees have in common with the new arrivals, is that they don't see a future that involves their immediate return to their country. As one man said to me, in the settlement he and his family can sleep with their door open. If it were safe he would rather be back at home, but because it is not, he wants to keep his family where they are secure; in a settlement in Uganda.
As the violence in Congo worsens more people will flee their homes in search of safety. Uganda and WFP have done an incredible job with limited funds, but they are facing a difficult fiscal future. In Uganda alone, WFP faces a budget shortfall of millions and will soon reduce the amount of food it gives to refugees.
Over the next few months, as the refugees keep coming, more people will need assistance. It is crucial that we as compassionate Americans and globally aware citizens pay attention to what happens in this part of Africa. It is critical that the World Food Programme and other organizations have the resources they need and are able to adjust their operations and continue providing life-saving assistance despite the increase in the number of regional refugees.
They will keep coming as long as the violence in the DRC continues -- the question for us is will we keep caring?

Bestselling author, professor, and pundit Mallory Factor illuminates the conservative tradition in American politics with essays from leading figures in the conservative movement.
Ambitious in its breadth and depth, Big Tent provides a fresh and surprising treatment of the conservative movement as told by the leaders themselves. In this unique collection, which is based on Factor's star-studded course at The Citadel, conservative leaders explain how the movement developed as a powerful force in American politics, how it functions now with a wide range of viewpoints, and where it is going in the future. The origin of conservative ideas—from their ancient roots to their English origins, from the American Revolution to William F. Buckley, Alexis de Tocqueville to Barry Goldwater, and libertarianism to neo-conservatism—are revealed and examined in this compelling volume.
These illuminating essays include
- Newt Gingrich on the political ideas surrounding the American Revolution;
- Yaron Brook of the Ayn Rand Institute on the emergence of libertarianism;
- Ed Meese on the Reagan Revolution;
- David Keene of the NRA on Buckley-style "fusionism";
- Phyllis Schlafly on the rise of the religious right;
- Donald Rumsfeld on the Bush administration's "war on terror";
- Rand Paul on the future of the conservative movement.
Insightful and stimulating, Big Tent is an outstanding survey of the conservative movement from its most significant living figures.

Alright it almost happened to me, its 12:58pm and about 10min ago it almost happened. I will explain everything
Well i guess about an hour ago i just started to drift away listening to music, i was laying on my bed with covers, and was on my pillow. I had another smaller pillow over my head with my hands kind of crossed over it.
I kept listening to some incubus, later on i guess i drifted away, but i kind of woke up again you know...but i was in a dazz if you will...like still tired but aware, like i could fall back to sleep again. I had the pillow over my head but i peaked out a little to check out my room and what not. I noticed something happening.
I kind of felt like a little pressure on my head, sort of like if my forehead had a huge vain on it that it was going crazy, like blood was pumping in and out of it...i kind of got the feeling that my pillow on top of my head, the vain or what ever you want to call it...the pressure pulsing was moving a little bit, like pushing it up and down slightly...it felt like wow, like i had a heart up there. After that i just realized something crazy was going on, but i started thinking about moving objects with my mind. So i thought about moving my chair new my pc, of course i just created a mental picture in my head of moving the chair since the pillow was over my head and i couldn't see the chair...again the pulsing on my forehead got stronger, i heard crackling sounds in my years ( i fell asleep and noticed that the music stopped before )...this crackling sound was like someone taking like a thin metal and plastic bag or something kind of like aluminum and just crackling it near your ear..just crackling noise, like if you had someone put a bag over your ears...
at that moment i was like holy%^&*#@&*@# omg this is the start of astral. So i just focused on that and trying to get calm and get out, things were getting quieter, and i kind of became stiff a little, but then i became scared, i got the image and feeling like someone was gonna be on top of me, so i stopped out of fear. I realized that and just tried to do it again...i could i did the little forehead pulsing thing, and thought about moving and object in my mind, the crackling noise started again and i came to the point of almost letting go of any fear but i still got the image that in a couple of seconds i would be paralyzed and not able to move ( i tried to tell myself stop being afraid but i dunno it was too late)...and next thing you know i just let go and stop
it didnt happen but man i was so close.........soooooo close and fully conscious of it, i think the best time to do it is when you know you come home from school. I usually just come home from school around 11:30 and take a little nap, i fall right to a dazz or asleep(when you get that tired feeling).
This was so amazing i have to do it again, i will try every time, omg it was so cool i felt the crackling...as soon as a i heard the crackling i noticed this was #%&@& astral travel...
the 2 things i really really noticed was the crackling sounds, and the pulsing...it wasn't even on my forehead it was like a little bit above where the eye brows would be if they were in the center of head and not over your eyes but over your nose area. The crackling was just, i dunno i remember reading about it i remember reading that you would hear crackling...at first i was kind of like wtf is this, but then i realized...i guess i felt like a vibration, especially when i felt like coming outward. it felt like i was getting paralyzed and vibes were coming but slowly and slightly...Dammit dammit i was so close...sooooo closeeee
I think the best chance of astral travel is when you come hone from school or around 3 usually..but for me it is when ever i come home from school i always want to take a nap...loool
i took psychology so i dunno with me feeling like i was in a daze and all but still aware i think i was in either alpha or theta brain wave state...
The pulsing was just powerful, i could literally just feel it right there in the center of my head, like a vein pulsating...i think it must have actually moved my pillow up and down cuz i could feel it with my hands which where above the pillow.
In July-August 2007, a number of nation-wide UFO sightings were reported while some of them were filmed and aired. Within the same period, the objects witnessed by the residents of Kumburgaz/Yeni Kent Compound, caught on video by a night guard named Yalcin Yalman and the footage were considered as the closest and the most significant images ever filmed in Turkey and around the world.
The incident went on for two months intermittently before the very eyes of the residents of "Yeni Kent Compound", filmed by a night guard named Yalcin Yalman for 22 minutes. The detailed analysis of a certain portion of these extraordinary videos showed that three different objects were captured at the same time. It is our belief that these outstanding first-ever video images of extraterrestrials will launch a new era in which further images of extraterrestrial beings can be captured on tape.

The message I have is surrounding the Moon turning red, at the full moon on Wed. There is another important event we will see take place at this time. I am counseled to watch events that take place at that time. I do not even know what it is, but will know it when I see it.
SPY-SAT UPDATE: Rumor has it that the US Navy may make its first attempt to hit USA 193 this Wednesday evening as the satellite passes over the Pacific Ocean. An air traffic advisory warns pilots to avoid a patch of ocean near Maui from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Hawaii time on Feb. 20th (0230 - 0500 UT, Feb. 21st). This would center the missile strike on the darkness of Wednesday's lunar eclipse and possibly render reentering debris visible from the west coast of North America...

acolyte, not that you need any one to confirm your information but I too have been made aware of some of the dates and times you're talking about. In paticular, about two weeks ago it came down my precog pipe about Feb. 20th being a beginning of something important, and then back in mid-Jan. I got a general note about the month of March.
hf It's nice to read that I'm not alone in the knowings, even if my info isn't as pinpointed as yours. Both of my awarenesses came with an undeniable intuitive feeling of hope and even great feelings of opportunity.
Micheal- There will be an event coming up, and it is coming close to this time…what this dream had to do, is its crystal clear ahh dream, and umm like I told you Curtis I actually wake up continuing the dream. And ahh and I decided that..ahh I see they have a message, ahh a very clear one. And umm that particular ending was ahh with the ship, a little ship coming down Tan, and Nela. Coming in landing and asking me to come with them, but this basically tells me that this is coming from them, coming from our friends my friends…It Began broad day light sighting of a type of craft that was flashing colors, the rectangular sign post type, maybe at ahh elevation, maybe about 15000 feet or so and then dropping in closer, having very very bright daylight color visible spectrum, like being blue, white, yellow, various red spectrums. Those colors just flashing and flashing, making itself very visible and very…well no in a sense well advertising itself, and then suddenly more and more craft began to appear. And the numbers of craft began to appear, they began to appear in great numbers and much larger sizes, and diverse types too. Not just having a saucer shape type, having those that are cylindrical, some of them will have winged shapes, and others that where ahh saucer shaped where just unbelievably (???) just popping into vision, and pretty soon the entire sky was covered by them and what was given to me…and this is a dream now so there are symbols here that are being brought forth to explain what was about to happen, and along with these pictures…the pictures of many many craft coming into being and staying up in the sky was a statement…look at this armada of ships…the term armada, what does that bring to mind?
Curtis- sounds like a huge ahh, a huge flock of them
Micheal - and the formation, the term armada was brought out, it looks, it is the Armada! Of the federation, of the of GOD. It is the actual symbols of our coming into age where we need too get absorbed back into where our planet is supposed to become, which should have been there a long time ago, but didn't make it. But this armada or formation will literally make itself known throughout the entire glob or the entire earth will know of its existence…they will be invincible; there is no sense in shooting at them...No one can deny that they are there!
The timing is vague, but according to the dream it is going to be escalating to a very high level…it started already!

yeah, why is the sky blue?? come on, please......because the whole time during my abduction I did not want to be a time traveler, I wanted to be a rock star in a band and live a "normal" earth life and things are happening now as they are because it prompts you to seek your own truth and who cares what my story is, the message is what is important and that is to BE PREPARED (mentally)

I don't know if anyone had posted this. A true time traveler is not going tell anyone that they are a time traveler.
They just not going to tell anyone. I'm not going to say there is no such thing as time travelers. I strongly believe that they were involve with 911. Were there any bodies retrieve from those planes?
of course, the time portal lights up where innocent victims are about to die

Every intelligent race is dualistic, and as absolute necessity, contains an extremely evil consciousness component that now and again comes to the surface in the form of lies, deceit, sadism, homicide, etc. etc. One of the reasons for the terrible murder of millions of women and children in gas chambers.
"A detailed explanation will come later, so let it suffice here to say that beings on Iarga that possess this mentality are denied reincarnation. This selection is the cause of the continuing improvement in mentality, generation after generation, which enables a race to become unselfish. "On Earth, this selection was blocked some twenty centuries ago by extra-terrestial intervention whereby we cannot improve our average mentality. This system is therefore unsuitable and undesirable for us because it would stimulate the egoism.
The lazy and the profiteers would disrupt the system. The universal economic system is just an utopian dream for us. "The beginning of this system is their worldorder. The unity of such a race comes from the fact that they obey a set of Godly laws and therefore have a uniform legal system. Add this to their love of travel, which results in the mixing of the races, and the result is the disappearance of nationalism, which happened long ago...
Channeled Messages by Mike Quinsey--Atmos 22-February-2008

Mike Quinsey
With all of the changes becoming apparent, you are being called upon to let go of the old. Allow it to fade away and do not worry as to what will replace it. Letting go is not easy when you find that the fabric of society is tearing itself apart. However, as you have been informed from many sources, it is a time to witness a grand cleansing that will release the old energies. These would otherwise hold you back, and you must make way for the new. Some are dismayed at what is happening, but do not see what the changes are waiting to bring in. Chaos seems imminent and unavoidable, but this time instead of helping the dark forces who use it for their own ends, it will eventually be seen as allowing beneficial and necessary changes.
AA Metatron: There are dozens, and so to answer your question regarding which are most potent, we assume you mean which are most beneficial, yes? And so we answer that the degree and priority of assistance depends to some extent on the person. The seeker will receive what is most needed and that will of course vary according to the individual's level of light quotient, intent, attitude and needs. In terms of field potency, the area of the Vishnu schist formation is extremely powerful, such that it is the primary generator of the highest frequency vortex and the center of the higher dimensional portal. The area of Blacktail Canyon is one of the most powerful portal stargates on the planet, in an extremely vigorous alignment to the Pleades. Those capable of raising their frequency to higher levels can expereince what you term as astral travel within this area, far more easily than in other locations. This because by the time the Vishnu Schist of Blacktail Canyon is reached, after 3 days on the river, the auric field is cleansed, and thus in a crystalline merkabic state. The mind is clear, the body is robust, and therefore the body-mind-soul trinity is in a rare state unified bounteous clarity. Do you see?

Clay's for Cara
Almost two years ago now, I received one of those dreaded hone calls you never want. I was actually in the dressing room at J. Crew when the phone rang and thus did not answer. When my friend called back immediately I had that feeling you need to answer. When I picked up I could sense the downcast spirit on Leah already as she began to explain to me the current situation of our mutual friend from college.
I met Cara through the Christian sorority we were a part of. We were close through college and she was always someone I knew I had in my corner no matter what. Many of our friends at the time were your typical college gals, crazy, funny, loud, obnoxious and always trying to be in the spotlight. Okay, I may or may not be just talking about myself here but this is one of the reasons I was so drawn to Cara. She was one of those people that when you meet you instantly feel like you have known her your entire life. She was calm, a servant, always willing to let others shine and do what she could to help them do so. She laughed at all my jokes even the ones that were not funny. I tried so hard in college to be what I thought everyone wanted me to be but Cara was one of those friends I always felt at ease to drop my guard around. At 31 I now realize she saw right through my act and toughness and didn't care, her love was unconditional. We spent a good amount of time together as our close knit groups often would hang out and do things together, but part of me always wished I had invested more into that friendship. My soul knew I needed it.
In 2003 we both had new beginnings. Mine was starting a new life in Washington, D.C. at my first real job. Cara's was beginning a battle with a brain tumor. I remember sitting at my desk when I found out. Shocked. Prayer and seeking prayer through my email network was my first destination for this helplessness I felt so many miles away. I thought of all people to battle this. After much time had passed the Lord healed her and Cara was finally able to walk into the next stage of her life He had called her to as a wife and then a future mother. Both of our lives took many turns before we were able to finally reunite. Through the wonderful world of social media I was able to "keep up" with her and watch all the Lord was doing.
Now back to the dressing room at J. Crew, there I was when the phone rang and Leah began to explain to me the new battle Cara was facing. She told me how Cara had been having headaches all through her pregnancy with Kate. She continued on with the pregnancy and delivered a happy and healthy little gal 9 months later but the headaches didn't go away. Soon after that she went in for the tests where they discovered a stage 4 brain tumor. Then the call...
I remember being a bit numb, feeling guilty. I had let so much time pass with a friend I truly treasured. I also was in a bit of denial that this would not end badly. I was certain her life had so much to offer, two little gals (Hailey and Kate) and a husband who adored her.
It was now 2010, new clothes from J.Crew seem irrelevant and the best cancer health care in the world suddenly seems relevant. I actually lived in Houston by now, which houses M.D. Anderson Cancer Center where Cara came to receive treatment. I contacted Cara and Justin to make any resource I had or didn't have available to them. My fix it mentality went into over drive and I wanted to "do my part" spin and toil "to help". In hindsight, toiling is not what Cara wanted. Much like in college she saw through what I was doing and yes she accepted and allowed me to "help" where I could but for the most part Cara just kept reminding me just being there was all she needed. So I hung out in the hospital with her one night, had dinner a few others, got a little time in Boerne at her house. She offered to cook me dinner that night but for some reason I thought I was too busy to stay. I have thought of that moment many times and at her funeral realizing there would not be another night for dinner I wish I would have stayed a little longer.
We can spin and toil and do all we want to try to show those we care for that we do, but what people really want and what helps the most is you. Just You. Nothing more, nothing less. Just show up and love.
It has been a hard lesson for me to learn, and was something the Lord has been and is taking me me through in many different ways. But it is one of the biggest lessons the Lord put flesh on for me through Cara (especially through the last year of her life) is to just love. The last time I saw her before she left Houston to head back to Boerne I told her I was going to try to move some things around and see her one last time... She just hugged me and whispered very faintly in my ear "It's okay. I love you."
I can barely type that without crying but it is who Cara was. You knew she loved you. I never questioned that our entire friendship. She never made any grand gesture or anything crazy. She gave us her. She gave us her whole self. Nothing more, nothing less. When you spent time with her she was completely present and available. She was real and genuine through and through.
Few people have affected my life the way Cara has, and because it is so fresh on my mind I would tell you no one has. Her steadfastness and true faith in the Lord never wavered. Se trusted her God until the very end. I keep a picture of Cara in my bible tucked away at the page which holds the verse; "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race. I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7) I don't believe I have known anyone who embodied that more.
Cara's spirit of life love and faith were contagious and live on in her family. Who would like for more people to know her and thus her family and friends are in the process of setting up and endowment at M.D. Anderson in Cara's name. It's a huge cost $20,000 but I believe the Lord can do it. There is actually a skeet shooting tournament later this month that will take place to help raise funds. Clay's for Cara
I am planning to take part in it and I pray some of you in the Texas area would as well. If you are interested let me know and we can make our own team! You can also just come out for dinner. Just do as the Lord leads you in this and follow through.
But if you learn anything from Cara please learn to love those around you. Be real and vulnerable. Do not try to be someone you aren't because you think that is what is expected from you.
Just love.

As Our Own
But then I allowed myself to stay in the healing stage of life and have been favoring my foot and not pushing it to its full potential. I believe we sometimes do this not just physically but spiritually when we are afraid to step back out there and get in the race.
And then through my friend Amanda I learned about a really neat opportunity to run a half-marathon in support of a young girl in India. As Our Own is in organization that rescues girls in India who are vulnerable to being trapped into sex-trafficking; which is a severe problem there. Many of these girls are rescued from the brothels where their mothers are enslaved and they are forced to sleep under the beds their mothers are "working" in. As Our Own is an incredible and very credible organization.
This year they are doing a fundraising effort with runners in 10 half-marathon races across the United States running for 10 girls that have been rescued in India! They are asking each runner to raise $750 a piece (but my goal is to try to double that and raise $1500 for these girls) Please watch the short video below for a bit more info on the campaign.
I WILL RUN from As Our Own on Vimeo.
I was afraid that there was not going to be enough time to train to run a half, then I was worried what if my foot isn't ready... well I can not think of any better reason to toss all the excuses aside than Pashi. She is the girl I will be running for in the San Antonio Half-Marathon in November. And I believe the Lord will get me through it all and across that finish line with His help and your support of Pashi and the new life she has been given. So please stand in support with me in this en devour. We are given so much in America and our kids have so much more than their peers around the world.
I would ask for as little as you can give even if its only $5 (those add up) or as much as you feel able to give! :) BUT if you have been struck by these girls as I have I would ask some of my running and non running friends to think about joining me in San Antonio and running for Pashi! The more runners we have running for her the more support can go to these girls! And its just fun to have people to run 13.1 miles with!
Here is a link where you can securely give online. Thank you for your support of Pashi and the girls of As Our Own.

Checking In Real Quick from Waco
To say its been a whirl wind would be an extreme understatement! I am still moving into my apartment and would love to put up some pics of the apartment but it is still a work in progress… but I did take a couple of the living room the first weekend on my phone to post on twitter so those will be at the end. I cannot say enough how much I LOVE my new loft! I mean the Lord has given me the perfect place even down to the little fixtures! He really is better to us than He should be! If I could have designed my own loft I would have designed this one!
My job has been just as great! I am working at Baylor University as their Director of Strategic Partnerships, in the office of Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships. I started right before our big meeting week (this one) and thus it has been a crazy last week., but that's just how I like it: Busy and challenged.
I have been seriously impressed with Baylor University and all they are doing there. They are truly taking the Great Commission seriously and its exciting to be a part of the team that is working to help more people realize all that is going on here! I could have you here for hours talking about just a few of the programs I've been blessed to hear about.
I'm keeping this one short (I'm sure you are glad about that) but wanted to check in… I will try to post more soon! Especially when my apartment is set up.
Oh! And my sister cut my hair! I have been wanting to do this for a long time and we were watching Friday Night Lights and I love "Tami Taylor's" hair and my sister was like you can do that... so she did... So what do you think is it Tami Taylor?
I have been blessed to work in some incredible historic buildings and my current office is no exception... Like I said the Lord is so much better than He has to be!

Who Say's You Can't Go Home!
So as y'all know I left out on this journey to find "What's Next" a little over three months ago. I knew the Lord was calling me out I just did not know where, so any opportunity that came my way I threw my hat in the ring and asked the Lord to sort it out. I knew where I wanted to go and that was leaving Texas again for a while, I looked in Atlanta and had a blast with some old and new friends, and then spent a week in Nashville praying the Lord would allow my next step to take me there.
The thing I have come to love most about the Lord is His willingness to allow us to explore and search Him out. Wandering in this case I do not believe was out of His will but exactly what He had asked me to so that when He presented to me what the next step would be it would be after He had given me ample time to explore what I saw as personally desirable locations. So after maybe almost 2000 miles on the road He has brought me to a place not even a hundred miles north of my hometown. And I am pumped about it!
As I was driving out of Nashville (the city I wanted to be in the most) the Lord allowed a conversation to take place about an opportunity at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. The job itself couldn't have been more perfect but I had to ask; as a single gal in her thirties who loved the city was Waco the right place to be. And I LOVE my family please don't hear me wrong in that but I am a independent gal (sometimes to fault) and I like being out and about exploring and so I didn't know if I wanted to be so close to home. Well I had about 12 hours in my car after that where the Lord worked on my heart and as I pulled into my apartment complex in Houston in the middle of the night I was convinced this was where the Lord has called me. And I was excited about it! (He is so much better to us than He has to be!)
So I started a long interview process that actually began the next day and did not finalize until this past Wednesday. In that time my lease was up in Houston so I moved back to my hometown with a childhood friend, then in with my brother and sporadically in with another friend from DC. This independent always has a plan girl was humbled because I needed to rely on those around me and I had no plan or timeline to work with. Through this time at home though the Lord has done so much not just in my life but also in some lives around me. Believe me this road has been for me! But its cool to see that He will use it for others as well. If I listed all the Lord has done we'd be here forever and they are not all my stories to share in this public forum but please know they are jaw dropping and even bring tears to my eyes now thinking about it all.
God's timing is always right and His ways are always for our good. He is the best thing to ever happen to me and the only good that lives within me. He is it!
So I move into a new place on Wednesday, start a new job the following Monday and I am looking forward to the new path He has set out for me and all the adventures that are to come. I know I will meet people who I will love the rest of my life and will change and challenge me to look more like Christ. I can't wait for this new adventure! Thank you to all who have prayed for me and walked with me in this season of my life. I am so grateful for your faithfulness… now here we go!
P.S. If anyone has Waco suggestions churches, places to eat or shop please let me know! I am totally new to the area!

Trying to Put it Into Words: The Village
I have thought about writing this post many times since getting ready to leave Living Proof. But how do you put two years of life changing experiences into one blog post that would not have y'all here reading for weeks. Well having been gone for a bit now and processing the past two years I firmly believe that it is straight up impossible so I am not going to try. I am just going to let the Lord lead me in writing and trust what He would share.
So when I was thinking about it, I had to go back to one member of this village who first impacted me when I was 18 years old. I honestly am not totally sure when I first met Amanda, I kinda just remember her always being there when I arrived to college. We pledged the same Christian sorority in college and were placed in the same freshman bible study. I had no idea that this person the Lord had placed in my life would have such a huge impact. My senior year of college I was blessed to obtain a prestigious internship in Washington, DC. Being the only in my family to go to college I was humbled by what the Lord had done and excited to see what He would unfold. But as the days became closer to my departure I was becoming increasingly scared and knew I was going to be out of my element. During finals week I was sitting in one of the main eating areas on campus and saw Amanda. She was getting married that summer and I was bummed to miss the wedding so I went over to tell her I was sorry and we ended up having a conversation that forever changed how I viewed my friend. Through the conversation I told her I was scared and didn't know what to expect, Amanda calmly spoke truth to me, encouraged me and prayed with me for that summer. After that conversation Amanda became one of the main people I always reached out to in seeking advice when changing jobs. (And when you are in politics that is pretty often)
So of course the Lord would use her to be the link that helped bring me to Living Proof Ministries and the wild ride these past two years has been. Walking into the building I had no idea what to expect, I had just finished 6 and a half years in Washington, D.C. where even our informal moments were formal. And not to mention that my last job had been in the Pentagon, which in case you did not know is a much different world than Women's Ministry. I knew I would really enjoy working with these ladies but I had no idea of how impressed I would be with the work they did. If you ever wonder about the work that is done at Living Proof Ministries I can guarantee you that those ladies and Curtis put everything into the work they do there. Not just their physical efforts but their spiritual efforts as well. They are the real deal. There is no better way to put it. They love the Lord with everything within them, and they love others just the same.
I have been blessed to work in many team environments where you are all striving after the same goal. It's invigorating and allows you to build bonds and relationships that are rare. But I can honestly say I have never been in an environment quite like LPM. The Lord brought me into a whole new family that has forever changed my life. I was blessed to obtain some new sisters in the Lord, a brother and a handful of sweet mothers. Watching these women do life together challenged me in so many areas of my life. The Lord used each and every one of them to speak into my life, and bring me to a greater understanding of Him and how we are to pursue Him. My quiet times will never be the same and neither will my prayer life. I truly do not know how to express my gratitude to Him for these lives, neither do I know how to properly explain to anyone what the Lord did in my life through them. The best thing I could tell you is that He used them to bring me closer to Him and fall more in love with who He is and who He can be in our life if we allow Him.
Even if I never see a single one of their faces again (and that is not the plan so don't get any ideas ladies!) I doubt I will ever get over them. They have affected me in a deep way that is only from the Lord. So before I cry here in Starbucks I pulled some fun pics from my two years to give a small view of my time there.
Amanda, Her Roomies (Maggie, Mel and Bonny) and I at dinner
(I think this is our Sophomore year at A&M)
No LPM highlights would not be complete without Starbucks. I grew to love coffee more here and a lot of fun times happened over coffee
And no one goes to lunch like LPM! Everyone together just about everyday trying to fit in one car. If nothing else happens in your day lunch was always an adventure and so memorable.
A highlight was a road trip to and from Austin in a 15 passenger van and lots of rain, I was blessed to drive for Di's daughters wedding. It was a blast!
This picture was one of the most stressful times in my LPM days... sitting in front of the group and Beth teased me that I was going to need to find Obidiah... oh the pressure. I still flinch when that book is mentioned.
Even everyday tasks are a blast at LPM! This was when the ladies spent all morning putting together some furniture and then moved it up in the tiny tiny slug! (I also had to get a pic of the slug in there! No tribute would be complete without it)
No one celebrates like LPM celebrates, I have so many memories from all sorts of celebrations with them. This was our Christmas party this past year.
The Road! Traveling was one of the duties I loved best for so many reasons. One small one was we usually had a lot of laughs on the way back! This was the day of Beth's heroic actions that saved many people in the Atlanta airport from slipping and falling.
I wish I had a picture of all the event coordinators at Lifeway! A unique group of women who I will miss just as much! Life on the road with them was always a blast! This is Paige (IGoM) and I in Seattle, she rallied to take a late night ride to the 1st Starbucks and the Fish Market for me!
This was Beth and I at the last LPL I traveled with her to.
The Lord sent me out on a strong Word from Him!
Travis and the Praise Team. Again no words for how much of a blessing these folks are. They have ruined me for worship with anyone else. They are gifted and bring you into the Lord's Throne Room like no one I know.
I had to bring this to a close with one of Amanda and I. This was a fun moment at the Christmas party for so many reasons!
Saturday, May 28, 2011
Well I am bad at this blogging thing is all I can say! But I always intend to do it! There is a lot to catch you up on but I would hate to jump over my week in Nashville during my last road trip. (Which side note to say my car hit 50,000 miles this week in 2 years! So if you did not know by now you can tell I love to be on the road!)
So after a couple of days in Atlanta and lots of fun with friends I jumped back on the road for one of the most beautiful drives to Nashville. If you ever get the chance to drive that route I highly recommend it! It was breathe taking and peaceful. I kept trying to take a picture of the mountains next to the valleys or the water but there was just never a safe way to get one so alas you will just have to imagine it.
I pulled into Nashville late on Thursday saw a few friends for a bit and then hit the hay! Friday was filled with some fun meetings and catching up with friends for the most part. I was blessed to attend a silent Good Friday Service at The Village Chapel that really made you stop and take in the day and think. Which we all should do on that fateful day, without the cross we could never get to Easter Sunday.
Saturday I spent most of the day studying and laying low at a local Starbucks. The draw to this Starbucks, a former college student who I had the pleasure to pour into is a barista there. I had not seen in a year and a half so it was a true blessing getting to hug her neck and take her to lunch.
Here is my favorite Starbucks Barista, Faith
Sunday we went to the very early service at The Village Chapel and I was extremely blessed to watch the children of the church fill the holes in the cross (from nails that were nailed in it on Good Friday) with daisies. I had never seen this done and it was one of those moments that make you just stop and see the change of the pain of the cross on Friday to the joy of the cross and the empty tomb on Sunday. We had a fabulous Easter lunch that was just the home cooked meal this gal needed!
April, Me and Kelly all dressed up for Easter Sunday. Easter requires dresses and skirts
I stayed in Nashville till the morning of Thursday and the week was filled with lots of old friends and meeting some new. I was blessed to break up the 12 hour drive back to Houston with a stop for lunch in Jackson, TN with Travis Cottrell and his team there at Englewood Baptist Church. We had some great sushi and a lot of great laughs… although I did miss seeing his lovely bride Angela.
All in all Nashville was a true blessing and it is a town that truly has taken my heart! If you ever have the opportunity to go I recommend snatching it up as soon as you can!

Tonight, the J-Man achieved one of the most celebrated milestones in a person's life. As with many of his grand accomplishments, he did it while he was completely distraught about something else. And honestly, we're not sure what it was about other than he was probably completely exhausted, which is oddly enough another condition that sometimes brings about these mighty deeds. Regardless, today we celebrate!
He peed on a potty!!!!!!!
Woo hoo!!
Now, we aren't actually potty training. (We're waiting for a while after the baby is born.) This whole thing started because every night he would pee on his bath mat after he got out of the tub, and we were tired of washing towels and such every five minutes. So, we figured, what the heck? Why not pull out the toddler potty that was doing little else besides serving as a room ornament (and contemplating another life as a flower planter, perhaps) and sit him on it while we dried him off? Consider it part of the preliminary potty process (say that five times fast) and the rest laundry preservation.
After about four nights of sitting on it (which he did without much consternation surprisingly, though me humming the magic song helped a lot) and doing nothing, tonight after pretty much inconsolable tears throughout bath time, he stood up from his throne and bawled on my shoulder. Then Mary said, "He peed!"
So there we were cheering and practically crying with joy while the J-Man was crying apocalyptic tears of woe on my shoulder about some unknown evil that had nothing to do with the potty. But like with many things around here, we don't care how it happens; we just celebrate when it does.
Yay, J-Man!

Providence – After 11 years at the helm, Colonel Edmund Culhane is retiring as Superintendent of the Rhode Island State Police. Governor Lincoln Almond announced today that the retirement would take effect on October 21. The governor also announced the promotion of Major Steven Pare to Colonel and Superintendent.
» Comments of Governor Lincoln Almond
»Comments of Colonel Edmund Culhane
"When I was United States Attorney, I served on the search committee that brought Colonel Culhane to Rhode Island. I knew then that he would make a tremendous difference to our state. That has certainly been so," Governor Almond said at a statehouse news conference.
"For the past 11 years, Colonel Culhane has served our state with distinction, integrity and fortitude," said Almond.
Culhane, who is 63, said that his health is fine. He said he just knew it was time to move on. "I feel very fortunate for my years in Rhode Island, because very frankly when I arrived here, September of 1999, I had no idea what I was getting into. There have been some tough years. As a result of them I really feel fortunate and blessed that I have learned more than I have imparted," said Culhane.
Culhane also praised the troopers who have served under him, "Your state police is the finest group of men and women serving the public in a law enforcement capacity in this nation. You have no idea how good your troopers are, none whatsoever. And I am pleased and privileged and happy to have been a part of this great organization."
Culhane thanked Governor Almond and praised the governor for his leadership. He noted the governor has been a hands off leader and that he called the governor more than the governor called him. "I can probably count on one hand the number of times that he called me, and I believe that one of them was to tell me that the blue fish were schooling outside the Warren River," said Culhane.
Culhane's successor is a 21-year veteran of the State Police. Major Pare is currently Executive Officer and the second in command of the Rhode Island State Police. He previously headed the State Police Detective Bureau. He is also the son of a retired state trooper.
Pare listed continuing attention to highway safety and police technology among his goals. He also promised to continue seeking diversity among State Police recruits. "As society changes, we must also change to provide for the needs of our society. We must continue to recruit minorities and females into the Rhode Island State Police, so we are reflective of the community we serve," he said.

Re: All Things Superman: An Open Discussion (Spoilers) - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 9
I just want to throw this out there to both MOS fans, and detractors and those in between. Snyder and Goyer are coming back, that's a fate accompli. How much if any of the critism do you all think will really be taken in digested and acted upon by this crew? I was quite pleased with what I got in MOS. I really liked the pacing actually. It complimented the overall serious tone by making things brisk and getting down to the nitty gritty. I don't think character or inherent drama was harmed by this approach. But that's me. And the hard hitting action was overwhelming but I think that was the point for a film about arguably the most powerful of all the iconic mainstream superheros.
Yet I know in the fan community, despite financial rewards from the GA that there is disappointment. Loud and vocal I might add. Is this going to affect what the sequel will be like? The answer could go either way. I think there may be some irony with the given answer.
What was a huge complaint about Snyder's style post DAWN OF THE DEAD? It was the over use of slow mo and the artificial green screen environments in his follow up films. Was what he did with MOS with it's emphasis on speed, both in specific action sequences and the overall pace of the narrative a reaction on his part to all that criticism? Do you all think the vocal group a detractors will have an effect? And will they even like it if they get what they want? Will the GA want what the genre fans are asking for?

He truly proved that every person has the potential to be a force for good in this life. So anyone that reads this, do me a favor... Call your parents.

Health info/tech M&A slows down
A report from investment bank Berkery Noyes on M&A in information and tech companies serving pharma and healthcare says third-quarter transaction volume slowed 6% vs. Q2.
Transaction value rose 245%, a jump attributed to Blackstone Group's announced third-quarter acquisition of medical data services firm Emdeon for $3.03 billion, 2011's largest transaction so far. The quarter's most active acquirer was PerkinElmer."The need to integrate scientific tools, effectively manage knowledge, and organize workflow within laboratory settings is becoming even more crucial for clients of organizations such as PerkinElmer," said managing director Jeffrey Smith.

On Ryan Madson: Relax
Phillies fans on Twitter, Facebook, and Internet message boards were infuriated last night when Ryan Madson blew a three-run lead and as sure a victory as the Phillies are going to get this year. The disappointment was justified as the Phillies had a 98.7% chance of winning the game with two outs and a runner on first base in the ninth inning. Even when Troy Glaus hit the two-run home run, the Phils were 95.9% favorites.
Madson's latest outing coupled with previous struggles in the ninth inning has led many to conclude that he is unfit psychologically to handle the responsibilities of closing out games. Really, it is no different than the criticisms of Cole Hamels being a sissy or mentally weak or what have you. It's armchair psychoanalysis, as I like to call it.
And it's bunk science based on small sample sizes, confirmation biases, and misinterpretation of data.
Here's how it happened:
- Ryan Madson quietly performed his job well last year, but prominently struggled in several notable games which stuck in the memories of many Phillies fans. Phillies fans suspect that Madson may be unfit to be a closer.
- Madson succeeds as a closer several more times. Phillies fans don't pay any mind because there are more interesting things to pay attention to and because most relievers, even bad ones, will convert saves every now and then.
- Madson fails to convert a save opportunity. Coupled with Phillies fans' previous view of Madson, this only reinforces their belief and serves as evidence.
- Lather, rinse, repeat.
If you have been reading this blog with any regularity, you have heard me harp about small sample sizes over and over again. With a limited amount of data, we can draw almost zero conclusions with any confidence. If you're trying to figure out if a coin may be rigged, you do not flip it twice and call it rigged if you get two heads or two tails. You flip it many times — 50 or 100 times if not more. The odds of getting peculiar results with a fair coin become much, much smaller with more trials.
The same thing applies to baseball statistics. In seven appearances, the odds of allowing two home runs with five fly balls is a lot higher than allowing 14 home runs in 35 fly balls in 49 appearances. Ryan Madson has, thus far in 2010, allowed two home runs with five induced fly balls. We know that pitchers do not have control over their home run rate aside from their ability to induce fly balls in general. A pitcher's HR/FB% will normally hover around 10% so Madson's 40% really sticks out.
Similarly, we know that pitchers have very little control over batted balls put in play. A pitcher's BABIP will tend to hover around .300 and actually several points lower for relief pitchers. Ryan Madson's current BABIP is .405. The odds of 40.5% of 22 batted balls falling in for hits is a lot higher than 40.5% of 220 batted balls.
The other statistical principle we know to be true is regression to the mean. Ryan Madson may have had 40% of his fly balls hit for home runs but that will not hold true for an entire season. Of the remaining 65-ish fly balls that Madson will likely allow over the rest of the season, 10% of them will likely be home runs.
With a little bit of logic and knowledge of statistics, we are able to write off Madson's poor start to the 2010 season as aberrant. That should be enough for most rational people, but there will still be some out there who, upon reading this, will still claim that Madson doesn't have the mental toughness to pitch in the ninth inning. Take a gander at Ryan Madson last year:
- 8th inning: 48.1 IP, 47 K, 15 BB, 3.54 ERA (3.20 xFIP)
- 9th inning: 23.1 IP, 27 K, 6 BB, 3.47 ERA (2.91 xFIP)
Ryan Madson is a relief pitcher who strikes out a lot of hitters, walks very few, and induces a lot of ground balls. I will take that pitcher every day and twice on Sunday. And so should you.
