Keele University is a University located in Staffordshire, England, United Kingdom. The University was established in 1949, before gaining its University status in 1962. It is a rather small University, with approximately 10,000 students enrolled. The University is based on a rural campus near the village of Keele (hence the name), and is known for its picturesque views and sights. On a trivial note – the campus was once owned by King Henry II of England.

Using Reflection to Cope With Chronic Illness
This is a blog post by Cathy Kramer on The Life and Adventures of Cateepoo.
The older I get, the more I wonder why self care is something we put aside for the weekend or for vacations rather than making it a part of our everyday life. As a culture, we seem to value those who have a million things to do. However, I think life has a special way of reminding us that we are meant to take time to be good to ourselves. When chronic illness becomes a part of our lives, it forces us to take a close look at how we are caring for ourselves and to make some serious changes.
Spiritual self care means something different to everyone. For me, it is not about religion, but about taking time to reflect on my life. Rheumatoid arthritis has a way of forcing you to be reflective. It asks that you constantly question your thoughts, feelings, and actions. When I can't control what RA is doing to my body, I can at least control how I am reacting to it.
Daily Walks- To me, daily walks are magical. It doesn't matter what my mood, circumstances, or even pain levels, a walk is my way of clearing my mind and making sense of the world. I don't know if it is the sounds of the birds chirping, the activity of squirrels running up and down the trees, the occasional fox or coyote on my path, or the opportunity to slow down and absorb my surroundings that my border collie gives to me with each walk, but it works.
Sunshine- In the spring, summer, and early fall you will often find me sitting on our backyard swing with a pot of tea and a book. Often times I never open the book because the sunshine has grabbed hold of me and taken me hostage. All I can do is raise my head and soak up the sun. I do require a lot of sunshine (Vitamin D tests prove this), and when I honor this need, I am almost instantly re-energized physically and spiritually.
Gratefulness – One of the hardest things to do when you are in the middle of a challenging flare is to be grateful for what you have in your life. But to me, this is the most important time to do it. During a flare I remind myself to stop and "thank" each of my joints for what they do for me. Really, our bodies are amazing. Despite the pain in my knees, my feet and legs keep me going. They take on a lot of stress and deserve to be acknowledged for the work they do. Do I have pity parties? Definitely. When a flare comes out from nowhere and I am up all night fighting the pain in my shoulder or knee, I cry. I cry hard. I let all the tears out and then I get mad at my disease. It's okay to do that. Afterwards, I feel like the skies opened up to me again and I am ready to see my disease in a new light. I am ready to "thank" my biologic every Friday morning as I inject myself for the massive changes it has made in my life. I am able to feel grateful for my family, friends, home, job, neighborhood, and all the other wonderful things in my life. Gratefulness takes practice, but the more we do it, the more we can look around and see how lucky we are to live the lives we do.
Meditation/Visualization – I wish I was that person that took ten-thirty minutes every day to meditate, but I have finally admitted to myself that this is not me. I find that when my mind is on overload, I do meditate for ten minutes and wonder why I don't do it all the time, but I don't. I have accepted that meditation is there for me when I need it. What I am good at is visualization. During my worst days of rheumatoid arthritis when I struggled to lift a cup to tea with two hands, I visualized myself lifting that cup with no problem. Visualization has always been my friend. When I start to see the worst that can come with rheumatoid arthritis, my friend "visualization" steps in and asks me to redirect my visions. Almost immediately I can see myself jumping out of bed, going for a long bike ride, hugging my family without pain, and much more. Guess what? I am finally there. I now have more good days than bad. Seeing myself in this place definitely helped get me here.
What would I say to a friend?- This concept is something I am still working on but I believe has great potential for spiritual growth. Often times we run ourselves ragged. We keep going and going and going as if our batteries will never run out and then we are surprised when we are stuck in a terrible flare. What I am slowly learning is to look at myself as I would a friend. A friend can look at me and say, "Hey, you are doing way too much. Slow down!" I am working on being that friend to myself, reminding myself to take breaks, to slow down and not take on the world.
Even though our society seems to be addicted to filling every single minute of our day with some type of activity, please don't get caught up in this movement. When you are dealing with a chronic disease, your life instantly becomes different than those around you. The pain you feel is begging you to slow down and focus on yourself. You deserve it. We can't always manage how much pain our disease is going to dole out, but we can gain control of how we spiritually care for ourselves.
How do you practice spiritual self care? I'd love to hear.
For more ideas on making self care a priority, check out SelfCareMVMT. Their mission is "to transform perspectives about what it means to be a patient and the way we manage chronic illness, celebrating the greatness in ordinary accomplishments that patients face every day." I love this. I am ready to join the movement. #selfcaremvmt

Welcome to the website of the Croatia's blues/roots/americana band She brought me gasoline.
Their music comes from the mines of Appalachia where Dock Boggs left his health, from 6ft underground where Burnside's love rests, from the streets of Hearne where Blind Willie played on Saturdays, from the shore of chilly Jordan, from the Oldham's back porch in Louisville, from another side of Dylan, from Folsom prison and Glen's Greystone chapel, from the last scene of The searchers and Ethan's sorrow, from duelling in Deliverance, from the band in Southern comfort, from the wreck of the Old 97, Gus Cannon's ghost, Solomon's fast train, Woody's land, muddy streets of Clejani and Bogdan's farms.
The band made the breakthrough with EP "Pathway/Soul made in China" recorded with analog vintage equipment and mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk. The EP was praised by reviewers, especially for the authentic sound they nailed.
"Having listened to the two tracks I started the review, at which point I read the rest of the Press Pack to discover that these guys are Croatian and the music was recorded in Zagreb! Given their origins, they have absolutely nailed the sound of the music from across the Atlantic that inspires them.
I can imagine that they are even better in a live setting and once they have an album's worth of material to dip into, I think they will do well with Europe's fans of Americana and Roots music. A promising start and a band worth watching out for."
Maximum Volume Music
"All credit to Croatian band She Brought Me Gasoline for managing to sound like they hail from the good old US of A. This is the kind of band that should do well at roots festivals throughout Europe."
Searching further for the authentic sound, this time they have recorded a new single "Sometimes trouble comes" in the straw-bale constructed Slamasonic studio. Check out the audio section for listening or visit https://shebroughtmegasoline.bandcamp.com/track/sometimes-trouble-comes

Although meeting the Stage 1 standards for Meaningful Use created a measurable quality increase in treatment of acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and pneumonia, hospitals that used EHR systems with higher levels of functionality had a small decrease of quality, according to a study in the Journal of Health Service Research.
For the study, researchers examined data from Hospital Compare, Health Information and Management Systems Society Analytics, and Inpatient Prospective Payment System (hospital characteristics) for 2006–2010. They found that hospitals that implemented EHRs that met Stage 1 requirements for Meaningful use showed a small increase in quality scores for treating heart attack, heart failure, and pneumonia, while hospitals who used more functionality than this showed a small decrease in quality in treating these conditions. Stage 1 requirements include clinical data repositories, nursing documentation, electronic medication administration records, and clinical decision support; functionality including computer order entry is considered higher functionality for this study.
The authors conclude that EHR use will not automatically correlate with higher quality.

Downrange (2017)
Like so many Asian directorial superstars before him (mostly in genre films), Kitamura Ryuhei has kind of gone Hollywood — or at he's least tried to. In his defence, he's doing better than most. Not quite as well as Oscar-winner Ang Lee, but not yet reduced to hired gun on B-grade schlock à la Ringo Lam (sad trombone sound). Still best known for Versus and Godzilla: Final Wars, Kitamura's third English-language film (after Midnight Meat Train and No One … (read more)

To answer the question right off the top that everyone's probably wondering about — no. Matt Damon does not save China in The Great Wall. Oh, he has a great white hand in slaying the monster, but he doesn't strike the lethal blow. That's splitting hairs, sure, but hey. Baby steps.

Vampire (2010)
Leave it to Japanese auteur Iwai Shunji to find a way around the ongoing moony-eyed romantic vampire craze as it's defined by Twilight. Simply titled Vampire, the vampirism of Iwai's English-language debut exists in its own world as it were, one that's rooted in reality more than the fantasy tropes of stakes through the heart, aversion to garlic and turning into the undead if bitten — and of course sparkling! Vampire hinges on a 28-year-old high school biology … (read more)

Reign of Assassins (2010)
Sometimes the overwhelming success of a particular genre film can have an unfortunate effect on the movies following it. I'm talking here about Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, which has become so popular and awarded since its release in 2000 that it's now the gold standard for martial arts films. It has allowed lazy film publicists, uninformed film reviewers and the general public to label a new kung fu / martial arts film as simply being not as good, or … (read more)

I Come with the Rain (2009)
Vietnamese-French director Tran Ahn Hung's Cyclo and The Scent of Green Papaya were exercises in style over substance. Atmospheric almost to a fault, both made you forget that great films possess a strong story to support their images. Unsurprisingly his latest, I Come With the Rain, is more of the same. Tran loads up the garden-variety revenge/redemption tale with enough religious imagery to make the Pope proud, mixing it with an audience-baiting (some would say calculated) international cast and … (read more)

The Forbidden Kingdom attracted huge attention from the moment it was rumoured that the world's two biggest names in martial arts cinema would be working together. The J & J Project, they whispered. Yuen Wo Ping's choreographing, they typed. There were naysayers, too: It's American, from Miramax, and from the director of… Stuart Little, of all things.

I have a question about what the right thing to do is, in a way that pleases God, even though I've already gotten myself in a situation that is not pleasing to Him.
First, I've been in a sexual relationships with my boyfriend since I was 18 (I'm 22 now). I am now pregnant by him. Our relationship hasn't been steady throughout the years. We've been on and off a few times during our whole relationship.
Well I'm pregnant now and my parents are trying to force us to get married. Don't get me wrong, I do love him, but I feel like it's all happening too fast. And I don't know if I'm 100% certain that he is the right man for me. He is also not so thrilled about the idea because it feels rushed. Would marrying him now be the godly thing to do?
I find it sad when people take what is supposed to be intimate expression of love between a man and woman committed to each other in marriage and turn it into an act of self-gratification.
What you've told me is that you have been violating God's law by having sex with a guy for the last four years. You recently got careless and now find yourself pregnant. While people are urging you to marry the man you've been fooling around with for the sake of the child, you both object because it is too "rushed." You are willing to have sex with a guy that you really don't like enough to marry; yet, you say you love him. Then after living four years in sin, you ask if it is right to marry the guy you've been sinning with -- I suspect in hopes that I'll say "no," so you can push back the pressure from your family. This isn't about pleasing God, but hoping that God will let you please yourself.
The answer has always been that if you wanted sex, you were to get married. "But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I. But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion" (I Corinthians 7:8-9).
If you want to please God, then the sinning has to stop immediately -- not just the sex, but also the lewd behavior and lustful acts. See: Is it OK to be sexual with someone you will marry soon? You also have to change your mind about what you have been doing. You can no longer accept these things as acceptable, then you will be on your way to repenting of your sins. "For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter" (II Corinthians 7:10-11).
I don't know if you've done what God requires of you to become a Christian. Most denominations do not teach the full truth regarding salvation. See: What Must I Do to be Saved? If you had properly become a Christian and had fallen into sin, then on your return to God you need to confess to Him that you were wrong. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (I John 1:9).
How you get married to is up to you. God has good advice on how to pick a good spouse. Whether you heed that advice or not is up to you.
What is probably more important at this time is thought as to the raising of the child you brought into this world by your sins. A child needs loving parents to develop well. Thought needs to be given as to who is going to take care of this child and support this child. It isn't the child's fault that his parents sinned.
Thank you for your advice. I have taken the proper steps to salvation. I actually got baptized less than a year before I began sinning with this guy. I started this sin and became so lost and invested into it, I saw no way out. I guess it was a long series of backsliding. I sometimes would ask for forgiveness and promise not to do it again, but before you know it, I was caught up again.
As for marriage, I think I have to do what is best for my child and I. I cannot allow her to see me stressed out and fighting with someone who doesn't take his faith seriously. I will allow him to be a father to my child until he proves to me that he is not capable of doing even that. I have family that is with me throughout whatever I decide, so I know my child will grow up with the proper love and care she deserves.
But trust me, I have definitely learned my lesson. I've repented of my sins and are now looking to fulfill my God-given destiny.

Points of Interest Along the Colorado River
Aubrey LandingThe ghosts of more than a century ago may emit bubbles beneath your boat as you pass over the inundated site of this historic place.
Directly north of Take-Off Point and 75 feet below the lake´s surface lies all evidence of the place that some referred to as "Aubrey Cit." Landing or city, Aubrey was already important to trade along the Colorado River only a year after Arizona became a Territory in 1863. The city at its busiest boasted 50 frontier-style buildings and a population entirely dependent on the freighting of supplies by steam boats and wagons to and from gold, silver, and copper mines in the region. It was named for Francis Zavier Aubrey, a Canadian freighter, herder and rider noted for taking wagons, flocks, and himself rapidly and safely over long, unfriendly western routes. While his landing and "city" are gone forever, his name was destined to live on when it was applied to the Aubrey Hills on Lake Havasu´s southeast shore.
Balanced RockIn the far reaches of Balance Rock Bay, on the left shore, is a masterpiece of erosion. A clack sold-rock mass weighing many tons is balanced precariously atop a slip pedestal of softer conglomerate. Infrequent storms over thousands of years have sent streams of water to swirl around the base and slowly erode it.
Bill Williams River and MarshThe stream is only 75 miles long, but it has consistently had a role in Arizona´s history ever since the Spaniard Esperjo claimed to have led (in 1583) a handful of soldiers to about where Parker Dam now stands. Juan de Onate, with 39 soldiers and two priests, arrived at the same point in 1598. During the next 200 years, all manner of prospectors, trappers, mountain men, and adventurers followed along a channel that, more often than not, contained no water. Bill Williams was all those things and a preacher, too. He found the river in 1837 and was murdered by Utes 12 years later. In 1851, the channel was named in his honor.
The river´s most recent historical play was on Jan.1, 1983 when it was designated as the northern boundary of La Paz County. The marsh is noted for its inclusion in the three-part Havasu National Wildlife Refuge. Small boats may enter the shallow, buoyed marsh area to study birds and to fish but must proceed at a no-wake speed.
Gauging Station CableThe steel wire spanning the river about two and one-half miles downstream from Topock provides monitors with a means to gauge the varying depth and flow of the stream. The two white crosses beneath the east tower recall a tragedy that no one could have anticipated when the cable was strung here many years ago. On April 5, 1987, a group of boaters floating down the river were horrified to see a small airplane fly low between high walls of the narrow gorge and collide with the cable. The plane was severed, and its parts and two passengers spilled into the stream. Bodies of Rocky Tolman, the pilot, and Douglas Casper, his passenger, both residents of Fort Mohave, Arizona, were recovered some days later. The crosses were placed by relatives to honor their memory.
Gene Wash CanyonThis is the lake´s longest narrow tributary watercourse. Its sheer black lava-rock cliffs are festooned with red-needled, fishhook barrel cactuses that seem to have a special liking for the region. Near the end of the waterway, a lone, robust Washingtonia Palm tree stands proudly on the left shore. High on the right shore is a precarious road that services the Whitsett Intake Pumping Plant.
Havasu Pumping PlantLocated at the end of a long waterway near the mouth of Arizona´s Bill Williams River Marsh, this unique facility houses six huge vertical-shaft, 60,000 horsepower, motor-driven pumps, each capable of forcing 500 cubic feet of Lake Havasu water per second through 12-foot diameter pipelines to a height of 825 feet above the lake. There the flow enters a seven-mile-long tunnel within La Paz County´s Buckskin Mountains, emerging to continue through 335 miles of concrete-lined canals, inverted siphons, tunnels, reservoirs, pumping plants, and pipelines of the Central Arizona Project. The water, approximately 1.5 million acre-feet annually, will serve the ever-growing needs of Pinal and Pima Counties. The visible building containing the Havasu pumps belies its true size; 93 feet of structure exists below the lake surface. The Central Arizona Water Conservation District maintains the pumping plant, which is closed to the public.
Lake Havasu State ParkAlong 200 miles of shoreline is a wide variety of arid-land plants, shrubs and trees, innumerable birds and waterfowl, and many other desert creatures.
Boaters on the lake will often see doves, quail, gulls, gees, ducks, hawks, herons, pelicans, and even eagles along the shores or in the skies overhead. But the animals of the park are wary and are most active in the cool hours of darkness.
There is also a cactus garden in the middle of a 1.5 mile-long trail just north of the London Bridge channel area.
Lava Arches and CavesVolcanic rocks along both shores of the lake contain many unusual, often spectacular formations. At least four very large natural arches (or "wind tunnels") grace skylines. Shallow caves, large and small, are everywhere within the lava deposits.
Some of those wonders of nature were created eons ago as molten magma exploded out of vents quickly cooling to harden in immutable forms. Others were fashioned by gases that caused bubbles inside igneous masses, then burst on tact with the atmosphere. Erosion by wind and water over two billion years sculpted many more of the lava-rock features.
London BridgeThis was the most famous bridge in England, one of 14 great spans across the Thames River. Now, having been moved stone by stone half way around the globe, it may be the most famous bridge in the world. It had served Londoners for 137 years before 20th century traffic demanded more than its two lanes. In the spring of 1968, the late Robert P. McCulloch purchased the bridge at auction for $2,460,000 and had its 10,276 granite blocks hipped 10,000 ocean-miles to Long Beach, California via the Panama Canal. Then a fleet of trucks carried the great stone 300 highway miles to their new home, where 40 craftsmen spent 23 months reassembling the bridge.
No river flowed at the new site. Local sands were shaped into mounds providing natural forms for erection of the structure´s five shapely keystone arches. Finally, a dredge removed 2,300,000 cubic yards of earth and rock to form a mile-long canal whose water rose beneath the arches. What had been Pittsburg Point and "Site Six" became an island served by the handsome bridge.
The span is 928 feet long, 63 feet wide. A tunnel within it carries utility lines to the island. Total cost of moving and rebuilding the bridge and creating its canal was $7.5 million. On October 10, 1971, London Bridge at Lake Havasu City was dedicated by Lord Mayor of London and the Governor of Arizona as 50,000 people looked on. A decade later, the structure was deeded to the city´s citizens; it is now a municipal facility. Mr. McCulloch died in 1977; the bridge is a fitting memorial to his unique and daring spirit.
Parker DamThis handsome concrete barrier created Lake Havasu in 1938. Four years were required to build it. Engineers call it "the world´s deepest dam" because undesirable tertiary sediments of the Colorado River´s stream bed at the dam site required an excavation of 235 feet to expose the harder bedrock on which its 100-foot thick base was placed. Thus, a boater on the lake sees mostly superstructure, only about 60 feet of the dam´s entire 382-foot height.
The dam´s major purpose is to capture Colorado River water that can be pumped west into the aqueduct system serving to cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, and east into the Central Arizona Project Canal, carrying water to counties in central and southern Arizona. A secondary purpose, hydroelectric power, is created by four huge generators within the dam´s powerhouse. With 5,500 cubic feet of water per second charging through 22-foot diameter penstocks to spin their turbines, the combined power output can total 120,000 kilowatts.
Parker Dam is a "bridge" as well as a dam; a 40-foot wide road across its 856-foot-long crest connects California´s State Route 62 with Arizona´s Route 95. A person astride the invisible state line at dam center could conceivably be standing in both states at the same time.
The dam was named because of its proximity to the town of Parker, Arizona. When the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway reached the river in 1905, the town of Parker was moved upstream to be served by it. The city of Parker is now the county seat for new
La Paz County.
The dam is open to the public every day of the year, offering self-guided tours. It is maintained by the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation.
Pilot RockThis austere lava-rock promontory is a landmark that tells boaters Lake Havasu´s west-bound course makes an abrupt turn to the north. Undoubtedly it was named in pre-lake days by steamboat pilots who respected a similar "dog-leg" in the Colorado River´s channel.
Old maps reveal 28 important riverside landings between the Gulf of California and a point upstream about where the northern extremity of Lake Mead is today. There were at least 10 significant, profitable, enduring sternwheelers that plied the river´s erratic flow in years marked by mining booms and military operations.
The era of the steamboats came slowly to a close with the arrival of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad and construction of its cantilever bridge across the river at Topock in 1890, the advent of the Santa Fe in Parker in 1905, and, finally, the construction of Laguna Dam 14 miles up-river from Yuma.
Today, Pilot Rock´s value to the modern boater is confined to the navigation light that nightly blinks from its crest.
Saguaro CactusThe shores of Lake Havasu are within the northernmost reaches of the Sonoran Desert, a vast area of 120,000 square miles that splays out from the international boundary into the southwestern United States and Mexico. The stately saguaro, "skyscraper of desert flora," is the largest and most famous of all the cacti within that arid-lands region. Only a few of the great "trees" grow here because their life zone ends midway between Parker and Davis Dams. One that stands beside the Gene Pumping Plan Road on the California shore may be 150 years old and contain several tons of water. Indians mashed its pulp to obtain liquid and harvested its juicy red fruit for food.
Topock GorgeWith construction of dams along the lower Colorado River, most of the narrow and spectacular chasms carved by its flow through desert regions were inundated by the resulting lakes of Mead, Mohave, and Havasu. One outstanding exception is this slim scenic gorge through which the stream winds, not at Topock but five miles below it, 15 miles north of London Bridge. Although the narrows referred to as Topock Gorge extend for less than two miles, the ravines on either end of it are relatively confined and scenic, too, providing a total of six miles of awe-inspiring Mohave Canyon waterway, beginning at Picture Rock and continuing northward to Mohave Wash Cove. That stretch is also popular with anglers; a good many sizable rainbow trout and other fish are taken from waters here each year.
All of Mojave Canyon and its Topock Gorge are within Havasu National Wildlife Refuge where waterfowl and other birds abound in and above the bulrushes of many marshland habitats. Only boaters and hikers are permitted here. There are no vehicular accesses to the shores.
The remoteness of the gorge region presented no barrier to the early people of the Colorado River Indian tribes. Each aboriginal site and artifact represents a priceless page in the continuing chronicle of a culture about which virtually nothing is knows. For that reason, today´s Native Americans (who believe such places to be holy), together with agencies that administer historic lands, discourage visitations to artifact sites by the public.
Whipple PointAs early as 1849, just a year after much of the American West had been acquired from Mexico, soldier-surveyor Amiel Weeks Whipple was locating a new international boundary between the two countries. A West Point graduate assigned to the U.S. Corps of Topographical Engineers, Whipple was next sent to survey a possible rail route linking Midwestern states with California. He began the task at Fort Smith, Arkansas, and then went Albuquerque, from where he led 16 wagons and 120 men westward. On February 20, 1854, he rode down the Bill Williams River and stood on the banks of the Colorado about where Parker Dam is today.
Near starvation, and forced to abandon his expedition´s wagons, Lt. Whipple and his troops were befriended by Mohave Indians who guided the party upstream to a ford where they crossed and continued their journey to Los Angeles. Whipple, later a Union general, was killed in action during the infamous rout at Chancellorsville in May 1863. Whipple Point Bay and Wash, and the mountains to the southwest of them, are all named in honor of General Whipple.
Whitsett Intake Pumping PlantThree big, glistening pipes rise from the largest building on Lake Havasu´s California shore, just north of Parker Dam. They mark the threshold of one of man´s great hydraulic engineering feats; the Los Angeles Metropolitan Water District´s Colorado River Aqueduct. Within the long concrete structure from which pipes extend are nine big pumps of 9,000 horsepower. Each can push 200 cubic feet of water from the lake to a tunnel 281 feet above in one second of time! Emerginy, the water pours into Gene Wash Reservoir. Most of it then begins a journey of 242 miles from within Whipple Mountains to Lake Mathews near Riverside, California.
From there, the water continues for many more miles, splaying out through a system serving users in an area of 5,200 square miles. (Another portion of the aqueduct´s water goes to San Diego and Riverside counties). Along its flow from the Whitsett plant, Havasu´s water travels through 92 miles of 16-foot diameter tunnels and 150 miles of canals and conduits and 144 inverted siphons. By the time it reaches Lake Mathews, the water has been lifted to an elevation of 1,807 feet, the allowed to drop to near sea level.
The pumping plant on Havasu´s shore is named for W. P. Whitsett, an early 20th century Los Angeles businessman, civic leader and water commissioner elected in 1928 as the Water District Board´s first chairman. It was the aqueduct project that prompted construction of Parker Dam (paid for by the Water District) and formation of Lake Havasu.
Whyte´s Loop TrailBeginning at the boat-launch ramp in Cattail Cove State Park, this mile-and-a-half-long nature trail features cliff-top views of Lake Havasu, an interesting "slot" canyon carved into one of the few exposed sandstone outcroppings of the region, and a good variety of desert plants. The trail leads to Whyte´s Retreat boat camp, and then returns through lava-rock taluses of the Aubrey Hills where many caves and "pocks" are in evidence. Creosote bush and crucifixion cactus are most obvious here. At trail´s end, in a broad arroyo, big Palo Verde trees grow in profusion.

The Athletics have taken great pride in celebrating their 50 years in Oakland.
From putting together a 50th Anniversary Team — a collection of the 50 greatest players to don the Oakland green and gold, selected by the fans — to offering free tickets to their showdown with the Chicago White Sox April 17 — the 50th anniversary of the Oakland Coliseum's first A's game.
Taking the celebration one step further, the organization, on Friday, unveiled its new "Kelly Green" alternate jerseys, to be worn for all Friday home games this season.
Beyond the deep green, an ode to that worn by A's of yesteryear, these alternate jerseys also bare the name of the organization's home of a half-century. Rather than "Athletics" or just "A's" as the team's home uniforms have featured on their fronts in the past, these Friday specials will be emblazoned with "Oakland" and display a 50th Anniversary Season patch on the right sleeve.
Former A's pitcher and current television analyst Dallas Braden served as the emcee of the day's festivities, saying of the jerseys:
"The jersey has the city of Oakland on the front, because there is no better place in the world. … This jersey, remember is a nod to the A's rich history, since Kelly Green became one of the A's colors back in 1961."
Kalama Hines is SFBay's sports director and Oakland Athletics beat writer. Follow @SFBay and @HineSight_2020 on Twitter and at SFBay.ca for full coverage of A's baseball.

So you lost a thumb drive containing a git-annex repository. Or a hard drive died or some other misfortune has befallen your data.
Unless you configured backups, git-annex can't get your data back. But it can help you deal with the loss.
Go somewhere that knows about the lost repository, and mark it as dead:
git annex dead usbdrive
This retains the location tracking information for the repository, but avoids trying to access it, or list it as a location where files are present.
If you later found the drive, you could let git-annex know it's found like so:

The upcoming BMW X7 has been snapped inside and out, giving us a better peek at the upcoming SUV flagship.
After previewing the production car with an eye-catching concept at last year's Frankfurt motor show, BMW is preparing to put it in showrooms likely late this year or early next.
Compared to previous teasers, you'll notice the lights and wheels look production ready, with detailed LED signatures under the zebra-themed stickers. Whether you like it or not, the massive kidney grille that sparked so much conversation on the concept appears bound for production as well.
It's certainly distinctive, and you aren't going to miss it – that's for sure.
Moving to the cabin, you'll notice a fully-digital instrument binnacle and a sleeker centre console than currently offered on the X5 and 7 Series. Although the image shows a 7 Series in the cluster, this is definitely an X7, it's just a pre-production model.
The climate controls have been moved from the lower dashboard to a space between the air vents. The console is still angled toward the driver, and you still have a stubby little gear lever and the rotary iDrive controller on the transmission tunnel.
Given it's aimed at the Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz GLS, you can expect to see seven seats and, presumably, all the leather and wood trims you could dream of.
Under the skin is a stretched take on the CLAR platform also set to underpin the next-generation X5. It's already in use under the 7 Series and 5 Series,, along with the X3.
Given it's going to sit atop the BMW SUV range, reports have suggested a range of turbocharged six- and eight-cylinder petrols and diesels will be offered, along with a plug-in hybrid and potentially a V12.
The car will be built at the BMW plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, likely to commence later this year. Stay tuned for all the latest X7 updates over the coming months.

Above is a nice summary of what has happened so far--24h total precipitation from the Seattle Rainwatch web site. You can see the heaviest precipitation was in a band extending from Victoria eastward to Skagit County. Some folks there have gotten 6-12 inches...and even more. Here is a video from one of them this morning:
The other thing that the precipitation summary shows clearly is the profound effects of rainshadowing downstream of the Olympics for a good part of the day.
Quite a bit of snow shower activity now in the central Puget Sound between the northerly and southerly air streams, with a number of areas getting whitened, but very few near the Sound experiencing the kind of totals that were in the forecast. Snow showers have been particularly heavy near Renton--you can see the snow on the roads there:Here is the latest radar. There is still shower activity...but nothing particularly heavy. But it is not over yet....

Opening dates primer
Thu., April 15, 2010
Idaho and Washington have numerous fishing seasons geared to different waters and fisheries — too many to even summarize here. Always check current regulations for specific waters before going fishing. There's talk of more changes starting next year in both states. Meantime, here are some opening dates to note:
March 1: With some notable local exceptions such as Amber, Downs and Coffeepot, this opener is primarily for catch-and-release lakes or for trout lakes in the Columbia Basin where warmer temperatures promote early fishing.
April 1: Primarily for lakes with some sort of special regulations, including Dry Falls Lake.
April 24 (last Saturday in April): THE opening day for most anglers heading out to some of the state's most productive lowland lakes stocked with hatchery trout.
June 5 (first Saturday in June): General stream fishing opener. While many rivers, including Crab Creek, can be fished year-round, be careful. Much of the Spokane River is open year-round, but portions have seasonal closures.
Dec. 1: For specially managed winter fishing lakes such as Fourth of July and Hog Canyon.
Year-round: Unless specifically mentioned in the Washington fishing regulations pamphlet, all other streams and lakes are open to fishing year-round.
May 29 (Saturday of Memorial Day weekend): Rivers and streams general opener.
Dec. 1: Winter stream opener for catch-and-release trout and whitefish and brook trout harvest.
Year-round: Unless specifically mentioned in the Idaho fishing regulations pamphlet, all other lakes are open to fishing year-round.

When you read the list of artists that Cey Adams has worked with it reads like a 'who's who' of hip-hop all-stars. He has worked on the design of album covers, logos and artwork for the likes of Jay Z, Notorious B.I.G., The Beastie Boys, P-Diddy and Run DMC; an incredible collection of work that most design agencies would kill for. Cey started out as a graffiti artist making his mark on the emerging graffiti and hip-hop scene in New York City in the late 1970's. After a while he saught inspiration from the fine art world and created paintings inspired by Pop art that he would sell around the city; his keen eye for great artwork and his graffiti skills didn't go unnoticed as he would end up becoming the creative director at one of the most important record labels of all time – Def Jam. A remarkable story about an incredibly talented guy whose artwork has shaped and changed visual culture within music and popular culture forever.
Five Things: Where did you learn your craft, both as a graffiti artist and as a designer?
Cey: Well, it stems a long period of time and it certainly didn't happen over night: for example, I started writing graffiti when I was a teenager but I didn't turn professional until I was about 20 which was around 1980/81 or something close to that. It was kind of a lot of trial and error, as I didn't go to school to learn art, so a lot of the stuff I learned was just from teaching myself. Around this time (1980/81) I decided to make the transition into fine art, I started creating and selling paintings around that time. In terms of really developing my craft I really learnt it from my peers and from going to museums and galleries to look at paintings and work by the likes of Warhol, Jasper Johns and Lichtenstein, that was really how I learned my technique. A little bit at a time and as I said, it certainly didn't happen overnight.
Five Things: So how did that lead to you becoming the creative director at Def Jam records?
Cey: Again it was a process, when I started at Def Jam it was what it was; it was a small indie label and there wasn't a lot of meetings and there wasn't a lot of decision making about the creative for the label. I was the only artist who was there and was I designing flyers and logos; nobody gave me any direction about what to do or what direction the artists wanted, it was just about getting it done. Again I learned trial by fire, it was more out of necessity that I picked up things. I had to learn how to do traditional graphic design because I had album covers to design and these had to meet the standards that the printers required, so I picked up my design skills by learning on the job. We are talking about a much simpler time and it was a lot of fun, no one was getting in the way and telling me what to do or what not to do. I was passionate about the music and that's what drove me, this was the early 80s and people were trying to figure out who they were and how to push their art forward. For me, my goal was to make the transition from graffiti artist to a traditional artist – whether that was making paintings or by doing graphic design for the label.
Five Things: From all your years working at Def Jam, and also in the time after Def Jam, could you pick a piece of work you are most proud of?
Cey: You know it's interesting, because I get asked that a lot and to tell you the truth looking back on it they are all such important records. The thing I'm most proud of is being affiliated with Russell Simmons, Public Enemy, Run DMC, The Beastie Boys and LL Cool J; and still maintaining a friendship with all those guys today. I'm proud of the journey, the friendship gained and to watch how we have all matured and developed as artists, because not all of my friends did that and not all my friends made it. I have a lot of friends who started out with me as graffiti artists but who never made it and ended up doing other kinds of work. So what I'm most excited about is staying the course and still getting to make work that I love and make a living doing it. That's what is really special.
Five Things: Looking through your book – Definition – the volume of work produced over the years at Def Jam is pretty amazing and it's also very noticeable to see just how much these visuals have shaped popular culture. You have created so much artwork and so many logos for different artists; do you think it's necessary for hip-hop artists to be branded?
Five Things: Hip-hop has always been about more than just the music. Would you agree that visual communication within hip-hop is nearly as important as the music?
Five Things: My favourite design of your would be Beastie Boys Hello Nasty– could you give us a brief insight into that design?
Five Things: Would you be able to pick a favourite album cover design of all time?
So that's one cover; the other one I really love would probably be EPMD's Business As Usual, because we got to work with illustration. At that time getting Def Jam to allow us to work with illustration was difficult and nobody in hip-hop had ever done that before. Shortly after N.W.A. did it and RZA also used the same illustrator to do his Bobby Digital album, but at that point nobody had done high-end illustration like that on a hip-hop cover. I just thought it was really unique because the way comic book illustrators work is do a rough sketch then show a client then makes changes, so working with a comic book artist I felt I was close to working with guys who had worked on Batman, Superman and things like that; and I loved comics as a kid. So it was a lot of fun working with a famous comic book artist. That cover is beautiful and the paintings that came from it are really beautiful, looking at it in CD form you may not get a sense of how amazing it is but the vinyl is gorgeous and the double page advertising campaigns were just amazing.
Thing: Who's you favourite band/artist of all time?

Edited to add: I wish I had time to reply to everyone's comments below, but I don't ... so please take this as a personal thank-you to everyone who has wished us well for tomorrow's appointment. You guys are all so amazing. What would I do without you? =) The appointment is at 10:00 am (sorry Moxie, I told you the wrong time!), so if you think of it, please pray for me then! I promise to post an entry and let you know how it went by tomorrow evening, even if it's just a short one. Wish me luck! =) ~ Rebekah
First, thank you SO much to all of you who offered such kind words of encouragement last week. I am feeling much better now, and that is due in no small part to all of you. I am blessed to have friends like you, who are always so supportive.
Sooooo, I am very happy to tell you that I'm going to see my RE for the first time on Wednesday (the 1st)! This whole thing has been on hold for so long now, I can't believe we're finally moving on with this. Thank goodness! Oddly enough, although we have been waiting, and I was planning on making an appointment in the next week or so, I still kind of made the appointment by accident.
T and I were on our weekly breakfast date while the Shookie was at school last Tuesday, and I asked if he'd be willing to try and locate the office on our way home. (I'd tried to find it before, and couldn't.) He agreed, and I lucked out this time, finding it quickly and easily. (I never said I looked very hard!) We were both pleasantly surprised ... the office is very comfortable, even pretty. I was just going to duck in, take a quick peek and head right back out, but the receptionist greeted me so quickly and seemed so nice that I decided on the spot to go ahead and try to make the appointment right there.
I filled out some forms, gave her our insurance information, and she explained that we would need to be enrolled in their (our insurance's) infertility program. I believe I asked something along the lines of, "Duuuh, how can I sign up with that there program yer speakin' on?" She handed me the phone, dialed a number and said I could do it that right then, and she would help me if I needed. I was so surprised! Aren't the ladies in these offices supposed to be warty old farts?
I spoke to some woman on the other end who asked me pretty personal questions, actually ... how long we'd been trying for, what fertility tests I'd had, when I miscarried and how long ago. Apparently I answered her questions to her satisfaction (she was kind, but still ... jeesh!), b/c she approved our admittance into the program. It wasn't until I hung up that I realized that even though we were accepted, she could have just as easily said "no", and then where would we be? She has no real idea what our history is, what we've been through, what is going on with my body. How ridiculous that some stranger on the other end of the line has that much control over, essentially, our ability to continue trying to have a baby!!
Anyhow, we got set up, and when I hung up the phone, the receptionist scheduled the initial consultation. I was fully expecting to have to wait at least a month to get in, probably longer, so you can imagine my surprise when she said they could see me on Wednesday! Wow! I couldn't be more pleased.
Of course, there was a small bump with our insurance. Basically, I was told that we have minimal coverage. They will cover my initial meeting and workup with the RE. Surgeries, if they are needed, are also covered. Blood work and ultrasounds, however, are not. These might be covered if I go to an off-site lab, but I need to get more specific answers about this next week. I'll be making some phone calls before my appointment to see if we can get our coverage extended, and what exactly they will and won't be covering with our current plan. (Yeah, like I said ... here we go.)
Finally, I want to send a huuuuge thank you to Cat for recommending this Dr. and his office to me, and to BrooklynGirl for pointing me to Cat in the first place! I can't begin to tell you how much peace I feel knowing I'm going to see a Doctor who has given such good care to others. I didn't feel ready to re-tackle this part of our lives until now ... and now I feel really ready. I'm ready to start trying again, I'm ready to find out what the hell is wrong, and I'm ready to put my heart out there again and hope that all of this works.

Media appearance in Lianhe Zaobao (联合早报)
I'm so happy to announce that not too long ago, I was featured in Lianhe Zaobao (联合早报), Singapore's most prolific Chinese newspaper read nationwide. I couldn't be happier or more flattered by how the interview came out.
Here is the translation of the entire interview:
Title: College student pursues social escorting because of her desire to be financially independent
Not everyone chooses to be a social escort/pursue a career in the sex industry because it is their last and only option. Rebecca, a 20 year old local college student is one such example defying this stereotype. She is from a typical upper-middle class family, and she doesn't have to worry about her daily necessities like food and shelter. She chose to be a sugar baby by becoming the exclusive companion to a sugar daddy who agreed to pay her $2000 allowance every month in order to maintain this one-on-one relationship with her. Six months into the arrangement, Rebecca felt drained by the intense emotional labour required of her by her sugar daddy and decided to call it quits, to leave the sugar bowl and become a social escort instead.
So why does she want to be a companion? Rebecca says: "If you're good at something, never do it for free. There will always be a demand/need for companions. The clients that I meet are typically successful people who are well-mannered and know how to appreciate and treat their beautiful companions. Our relationship/connection is more straightforward and simpler than that of a sugar baby and sugar daddy. There aren't any extra requirements/emotional attachments being expected beyond the date itself. The monetary rewards of this profession are high, it's a great way to earn extra income." You can sense the confidence radiating from her designer spectacle-clad eyes.
At the very beginning, Rebecca started escorting via an escort agency. Soon, she learned that being an independent companion allowed her more freedom and control, along with keeping all the money she made without having to pay an agent for it. She has invested a lot of time to re-launch herself as an independent companion, studying the dynamics of the escort industry, with online research as well as networking with other more established foreign escorts. She eventually chose to have brand new photoshoots and designed her own website to fortify her presence and brand. Her dedication and professionalism rival those who choose to launch start-ups.
Advanced Screening of Client Information: In order to protect her own privacy and maintain confidentiality as a companion without compromising her real identity, Rebecca has chosen to not have any personal social media accounts of her own. Prospective clients can only reach Rebecca via her secure online form found on her site. She says her typical client is between 30-50 years old, and have achieved relative success in the fields they are in. About 70% of her clientele are foreigners/non-Singaporeans. Rebecca's companionship rates start from $550 per hour, while a 24 hour rate can reach $4,500.
"I'm selective about who I see and I make sure to read my clients' information and understand their preferences thoroughly before I proceed to accept them as a new client. If I don't feel safe/secure about a particular client, or sense that a client could potentially be demanding/high-maintenance, I will choose to decline their requests to meet for a date." Rebecca's rejection is about 50% and perhaps it is because of her thorough screening that is part of the reason why Rebecca has yet to meet a terrible client.
When asked about her earnings as a companion, Rebecca paused a bit, and reflected that her annual minimum profit goal is $35,000 and it is an achievable figure for her to reach a few months into being a companion. She has also chosen to control her spending on luxury brands, and simply favours clothes that would look good on her and fit her style and budget. "My earnings are sufficient to cover my expenses now, and I don't have anything to complain about. I chose to be an escort so that I can achieve economic independence in the long run so that I don't have to worry about my finances in the future." Rebecca's occupation is kept unknown to her family members.
Many people insinuate that it is easy to become a companion and earn lots of money. Rebecca immediately sits up and adjusts her posture when faced with such a generalisation, and seemed to be annoyed by these comments. She recalls, "A classmate of mine joked about becoming a social escort if she couldn't find a job in the future. But she's not even qualified to be one in the first place! Being in this profession, one must be very strong emotionally, while maintaining your sanity without having your boundaries pushed. Boundaries should be respected by the client, and definitely enforced by the escort. I am put in a very vulnerable position when you are in a private room with a stranger, and it is a delicate balance to keep the client happy and make him enjoy himself without having my own boundaries violated. Another aspect of companionship is to listen to your clients and their stories like a genuine close friend would, and this also takes a high emotional toll on the escort."
After being a companion, Rebecca has developed into a person with a stronger sense of self-identity and has become more opinionated, better at reading people and has become more adept at declining less-than-desirable invitations from unwanted men. Rebecca admits that it will be increasingly difficult for her to have a typical boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, because her successful clients and the affection that she has received from her clients have elevated her requirements for a boyfriend. It is rather difficult to find a boyfriend who is a mature and successful person with the financial security at levels Rebecca has now become accustomed to, which is similar to the clients that she has.
Rebecca has chosen to prioritise her college studying over providing companionship for now, as being an escort is just a part-time side gig. Rebecca predicts that she would look for and secure a normal job after graduating from college, and will likely reduce her escorting availability to existing regulars only or just stop escorting altogether. "If there was a perfect job where rating it a 10 is a perfect score, I would give escorting an 8. How many people are truly happy with their jobs? Being a young woman is an advantage and no one will be 20 forever. Why not seize the moment that youth has afforded us, maximise my capabilities and all the benefits it could potentially bring for me?" Rebecca concluded our interview with this reflection.
PS. I am very seriously considering visiting London, as well as accepting fly-me-to-you requests in from December 2017 till mid-January 2018. If any of my readers are interested, please reach out to me on Twitter or via my contact form! :)

A Vancouver daredevil died after his parachute failed to open during a BASE jump from an Idaho bridge.
Bryan Turner, 32, jumped from the Perrine Bridge on Monday, but plummeted straight into the river nearly 150 metres (500 feet) below. Several of his friends, who were also jumping that day, went out in kayaks and were able to bring Turner to shore, reported Reuters.
Paramedics soon arrived, but Turner later died in hospital.
BASE jumping is a daredevil sport that got its name back in the 70s. BASE is an acronym for the four types of fixed platforms parachuters can jump from: buildings, antennas, spans (such as bridges) and Earth.
The Perrine Bridge, which stretches over the Snake River Canyon, is a popular spot for BASE jumpers because it's the only man-made structure in the United States where the sport is allowed daily without a permit.
Turner, who was originally from Vancouver, had been living in New York before his death.
His friend, Zahra Aldunia, told CBC News that Turner wrote a letter in 2013 in case he was killed pursuing his passion.
"If I die BASE jumping … don't waste time being upset about my dying; be upset about the seven million kids that die every year," he wrote.
Aldunia said Turner created a group called Students To End Extreme Poverty, while they were studying at Carleton University in Ottawa.
Last year, two people were seriously injured BASE jumping from the same bridge. According to Indiana's Daily Reporter, the two parachutes got tangled together after the jumpers lost their balance and fell too close to one another.

Much later, I read about tantric sex, there after a strong, long-term and sometimes even painful tension in a certain posture of relaxation comes after orgasm. So do not rule out the possibility that I still finished, but it's an orgasm could only be called a stretch. Live sexy video chat.

I've been a little MIA this week, and for a good reason (I promise!). My little family moved across the country from California to Tennessee in 4 days, WITH our 3-month-old daughter and 3-year-old dog.
Yes, I'm exhausted.
We planned as well as we possibly could with a baby en route. My husband created an itinerary for us that mapped out how long each day would be so that we would never be in the car for more than 9 hours at a time. Of course, it was a rough draft since our daughter pretty much ran the show.
In the end, I was VERY proud of my little one (and dog, too!). She did better than I expected her to. That being said, I'd love to share some key tips on going on a road trip with an infant!
Take Breaks
Our little one was okay with taking breaks every 2 hours to stretch, have a diaper change, and get some fresh air. She definitely let us know if she needed breaks sooner than that- but it was rare. Imagine being crumpled up in a car seat for hours and hours on end!
PS- There is no shame in changing your baby's diaper on a tailgate. You go, mama! Oh, and keep a pillowcase or sheet under your baby in their car seat! I'm so glad I thought of this before we left the house. The last thing you want miles away from running water is a blowout on the side of the road!
Have the Baby Survival Kit on Hand
I made sure to have a little basket accessible that was packed with:
- diapers
- diaper cream
- wipes
- 4-5 burp rags
- PLENTY of little toys
- hand sanitzer
- pump, bottles, nipples and bag
or formula pre-packed into bottles if you're not breastfeeding/supplementing
- baby's first aid kit with nail clippers
- extra blanket
- change of baby clothes
- tiny plastic trash bags
- chapstick (for mama; you'd be surprised how much this comes in handy!)
Keep Baby Company
Okay, I have to admit: I don't know HOW I would have survived the trip if my mother-in-law hadn't have come with us. I drove most of the way there and she was able to sit in the backseat with my daughter. Ditch your co-pilot!
If you're travelling alone, may the force be with you. I admire you so much. Just be sure to have a backseat mirror installed 🙂
Get Your Playlist Together
I don't know about you, but my baby does so much better in the car when there's music playing (and so do I). 3 days before our departure, I added hours of music to my Travelling to Tennessee playlist. Fleetwood Mac makes everything better.
No Bed? No Problem!
Maybe I'm weird, but I didn't know that you could request hotel cribs! Not all hotels have them, of course. If you can't get your hands on one, request two roll-away chairs. I pushed them together and used her big changing mat as a mattress. If you bed-share, you can push a chair up against the the side of the bed. Easy peasy.
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
As a parent, you know that stuff happens and not everything goes according to plan. You will have unexpected stops. Embrace the time with family and try to relax. I know, easier said than done. But it really does help going into this with an open mind and good sense of humor.
Sure, it's daunting travelling with a tiny human, but you got this, mama!

Giants likely to be active, fill needs via free agency
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants' list of anticipated changes for the 2017 season will be relatively short but highly significant.
Free agency is expected to be a key component of the offseason for the second year in a row. The Giants need a legitimate closer and left fielder. Emboldened by the acquisition of right-handers Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija as well as center fielder Denard Span on the open market last winter, San Francisco believes it can tap this stream again with bountiful results.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants' list of anticipated changes for the 2017 season will be relatively short but highly significant.
Free agency is expected to be a key component of the offseason for the second year in a row. The Giants need a legitimate closer and left fielder. Emboldened by the acquisition of right-handers Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija as well as center fielder Denard Span on the open market last winter, San Francisco believes it can tap this stream again with bountiful results.
"Resources will be expended as necessary," club president and chief executive officer Larry Baer said.
One way or another, the Giants are certain to remain active this offseason. Besides filling their needs, they have six free agents and six salary arbitration-eligible players to address as they strive to compile their eighth winning record in nine years.
• Uneven 2016 starts with bullpen
Baer expressed confidence that the Giants are operating from a position of strength.
"In many ways, we're better off going into 2017 than we were a year ago," Baer said.
Video: Brian Sabean on improving Giants' offense in 2017
Arbitration-eligible: INF Ehire Adrianza, LHP Will Smith, 3Bs Eduardo Nunez and Conor Gillaspie, RHPs George Kontos and Cory Gearrin
Free agents: LHP Javier Lopez, RHPs Jake Peavy, Sergio Romo and Santiago Casilla, OFs Gregor Blanco and Angel Pagan
Rotation: Barring injuries, the top four spots will securely remain in the capable hands of Madison Bumgarner, Cueto, Matt Moore and Samardzija. Intrigue awaits after the 2017 season ends, when Cueto can opt out of the remaining four years of his six-year, $130 million deal. If he duplicates this season's success (18-5, 2.79 ERA), it's easy to imagine that Cueto would dive into free agency, if only to gauge his own value. Veteran Matt Cain and rookie Ty Blach will be the leading competitors for the rotation's fifth spot.

Bullpen: The Giants have an ample, skilled crew of young relievers. But their depth is just a bottomless pit without a legitimate closer. Casilla sealed his fate with early-season bouts of inconsistency and a stretch of three blown saves in a span of six September appearances. Romo has been a Giants mainstay since 2008, but he is unlikely to be asked to return, due to the club's plethora of right-handers (Kontos, Gearrin, Hunter Strickland, Derek Law and Albert Suarez, who'll probably open the season as San Francisco's long reliever). Lopez, another valued Giant during the World Series years, appears bound elsewhere.

Catcher: Buster Posey established personal highs with 122 starts and 102 complete games caught. This was much appreciated by the pitching staff, which enjoyed throwing to the four-time All-Star. Skeptics believe that Posey's industriousness behind the plate also accounted for his career-low, full-season offensive totals, including 14 homers, a .288 batting average and a .796 OPS. The series of nagging injuries that Posey sustained -- and never complained about -- also might have muted his offensive production. Interestingly, talk of Posey's moving to first base has been virtually silenced. Trevor Brown has proven to be a competent backup on those increasingly rare days when Posey rests.
Video: NL WC: Bumgarner on close relationship with Posey
First base: It wasn't just the diligent work of the Giants' social media crew that sent Brandon Belt to San Diego as the winner of the 2016 Esurance MLB All-Star Game Final Vote. He put himself there with an excellent first half (.302 batting average, 10 homers, 47 RBIs, .928 OPS). Likewise, Belt was responsible for his second-half slump (.241 average. seven homers, 35 RBIs, .792 OPS). The Giants would like to see steadier production from Belt, who's signed through 2021.

Second base: Joe Panik didn't come close to meeting expectations with his .239 batting average. But it's easy to forget that Panik had to cope with the aftereffects of a concussion he sustained when he was hit by future teammate Moore at Tampa Bay on June 18. Given that adversity, his totals of seven triples,10 homers and 62 RBIs don't seem so bad. He also was the Majors' most difficult player to strike out (11.19 plate appearances per K). The left-handed-batting Panik has no desire to be a platoon player, so expect him to work hard to fend off right-handed-swinging Kelby Tomlinson next spring.
Video: CHC@SF Gm3: Panik connects on walk-off double in 13th
Shortstop: With excellent defensive range to either side and versatile offensive skills, Brandon Crawford is on the brink of establishing himself as one of the National League's best all-around performers. The NL's reigning Gold Glove Award winner at his position, Crawford emerged as the league's top fielding shortstop according to calculations from John Dewan's Stat of the Week. Crawford played 155 games, and the Giants couldn't fathom having him out of the lineup any more than that.
Video: CHC@SF Gm3: Crawford dives to snag a sharp grounder
Third base: Nunez received most of the activity here after the Giants obtained him from Minnesota on July 28. His status will probably remain intact next year, though he'd be well-advised to maintain his effectiveness against right-handed pitching (.301 as a Giant, .295 overall), given Gillaspie's startling postseason production.

Outfield: Though Pagan performed admirably at times (.277 batting average in 129 games), the Giants believe that they can find an upgrade, perhaps from within their own clubhouse. Left-handed-hitting Jarrett Parker and right-handed-swinging Mac Williamson have demonstrated power potential in limited Major League action and could receive a chance to form a platoon or compete for the job individually. The Giants will also pursue free agency or trade options in this area.

Extend A USB Mac Webcam With Active Repeater Cable
The USB device specification limits reliable data transfers over a devices USB cable to around 5 meters or about 16 feet for High-Speed devices. The distance is a bit less for Low-Speed devices like keyboards and mice. An Active USB repeater extension cable can extend the webcam's distance considerably.
USB 2.0 Active USB Cable Extender
Lengths Up To 100 Feet
Active Repeater cables are available up to 100 feet. Some of the shorter one's simply reamplify and reclock the 5 volt signal coming from your Mac computer's port to extend a webcam (or any other USB device's) range. However for longer distances, you should look for USB extension cables that include a separate power-supply to adequately and reliably boost the signal. Extending a webcam with ordinary USB A-to-B extender cables will likely result in the device disappearing off the USB bus and possibly causing your video application to lock-up or crash.
USB Over Ethernet Extender
Twisted Pair Cat5 Wiring
For some, extending their Mac webcam via Ethernet cabling is preferred for ranges up to 300 feet. Above you see a pair of USB transceivers: One for your Macintosh's USB-A port, and the other end with a power-supply input and USB-B female socket to plug your web camera into.
Lastly, note extending SuperSpeed USB 3.0 devices (not webcams) required different, USB3 certified cabling and extenders. That's not an issue for Mac webcam users since NO web cameras made currently require nor operate at USB 3.0 speeds. All Apple-friendly UVC compatible webcams are USB 2.0 speed devices.
