I'd really like to win this,
the colors suit me fine!
They're such pretty fabrics,
it's a really fabric line.
So if you pick me to win this,
I'll write a poem for you,
You can post it on your website
or flush it down the loo!
(No, I'm not English) but I used
the word because it did rhyme,
So now I'll end this horrible poem,
and beg again one more time!

Cabbage Rose is one of my very favorite on-line quilt shops. I only wish that I could visit it in person. I love kits and would have so much fun making this table topper. Currently I am organizing all of my quilt notions and patterns so that I can find everything much faster. One of my favorite quilting tips is for bent/broken needles. I keep a small empty prescription bottle in my notions and when I come across a broken, bent, or dull needle I store it in the bottle that way no one gets stuck. When the bottle is full just throw it away and start over. Thanks Again, Tanya Anderson
- July 2, 2010 at 7:07 AM
This is my first blog effort but the opportunity to win such a great prize has motivated me to respond. I am currently back from a 2 wk trip east to visit some of my grandchildren and their parents. I have a total of 9 grandchildren and am currently working on embroidering a shower curtain with various animals for my family that has a 1 and 3 year old. Then it will be back to piecing fabric into a wall hanging or something for Christmas or perhaps a Birthday gift as I hide out from the Texas heat. firstname.lastname@example.com

Ooh, choose me, choose me! I'll even come to the store to pick up my prize, and I'll bring my two Ft. Worth grandchildren with me. (No worries--they are very well-behaved.) They love to come with Granny to Cabbage Rose and look at all the fabric. Luke (4 yrs. old) likes to say "Watch your step" whenever anyone enters the rear door--he thinks that is so cool!

Having just done the 3rd Saturday BOM in both bright and warm vintage I have become a Fig Tree fanatic. Last week, I went on the Western WA Shop Hop - hitting 49 of 54 shops. One of my favs was Sister's Fabrics in Chehalis. When I commented on their great selection of Fig Tree fabrics, the owner told me she was a FAN and sold me a Breakfast at Tiffany's charm pack (one of just a few she had).
I would love to win your fabulous kit to feed my new found addiction - Fig Tree! You are now book marked on my daily blog checks.
- July 2, 2010 at 10:07 PM

Hi, How generous of you to offer a free kit. Looks like you have a lot of hopeful's so add me to it. Would be great addition. It is always fun to learn something new and then make two for tried and true. My great granddaughter (age 8) are trying to make the little pillowcase dresses for Africa. Have not started the sewing yet just getting stash fabric together to start!

Oh this fabric line is too cute. My favorite summertime tradition with my girls is visiting a local zoo and going on a tractor pulled wagon ride which is followed by a GI-NORMOUS camel named Joe. He is very friendly but sometimes spits which can be very messy for the riders in the back.

Before the ball was touched for kickoff on Saturday night, it seemed inevitable the UCSD and Chico State men's soccer teams would go to overtime in their NCAA Division II Tournament game.
The sides are so closely matched they weren't divided by more than a goal in any of their previous three meetings this season, and their last two matches went to overtime.
This time, in front of a boisterous, overflow crowd at Triton Soccer Stadium, 110 minutes wasn't good enough to break a 1-1 tie. Five penalty kicks weren't good enough. Six weren't good enough.
In the seventh round, Tritons redshirt freshman Malek Bashti netted his shot, and UCSD goalkeeper Josh Cohen made his third PK save to lift the hosts to a victory that sends them into the third round. UCSD (15-3-3) will play Simon Fraser, an overtime winner over Cal State L.A., on either Thursday or Friday in Denver.
UCSD made five penalty kicks to Chico State's four.
"It doesn't get much more dramatic than that," said Tritons coach Jon Pascale after hundreds of fans rushed the field to swarm the players.
The man they hoisted in celebration was Cohen, the two-time reigning CCAA Defender of the Year who made an incredible save to keep the Tritons alive. Chico State's top scorer, Octavio Guzman, had a chance to win it for his team if he scored in the shootout's fifth round. He powered a shot headed for inside the right post, but Cohen sprang to tip the ball wide.
"Back in club days, I made some saves like that that I faintly remember," Cohen said. "This one I'll remember for a lifetime."
Fast-starting Chico State scored first in the ninth minute on a long blast by Escondido High alum Matt Hurlow. The Tritons tied it 10 minutes later on a free kick earned by Andisheh Bagheri. Bagheri lined a cross and senior defender Gavin Lamming powered a header for his second goal of the season.

NABLUS, West Bank (Reuters) - Nestled in a basin in the northern West Bank, the city of Nablus was for millennia a Palestinian cultural and commercial hub, attracting traders to its souk in the heart of the old town.
But Israel's occupation of the West Bank, and local policy paralysis, have since isolated the Palestinian economy from global markets and pushed unemployment up to nearly 25 percent.
Fledgling Palestinian high-tech firms hope they can now help revitalize the economy, making the West Bank more resistant to Israeli controls on land and the movement of goods and people and less dependent on fickle foreign aid flows, which are blighting the public sector.
"We're far, far away from being Silicon Valley," conceded Husam Dweikat, general manager of Isra Software & Computer Co., an e-commerce firm with 35 employees based near the old city.
"Still, we can become a sector that transforms the future of the Palestinian economy, despite the fact the Israeli occupation and our government have deprived us of the right infrastructure, skills and exposure," Dweikat said.
The information and communications technology (ICT) sector, which includes telecommunications, contributed 6.1 percent of Palestinian gross domestic product by 2011, a more than seven-fold increase since 2008.
Relatively high rates of computer literacy and English language skills compared to Arab neighbors offer advantages.
Paradoxically, proximity to Israel is also a boon. A powerhouse of global ICT, Israel provides Palestinian IT companies with outsourcing work from multinational firms that have subsidiaries in Netanya and Tel Aviv, just 20 kilometers from the West Bank.
Those companies are taking advantage of cheaper labor in the West Bank compared to Israel and a strong local skillset, and have also cited corporate social responsibility as a reason to invest there.
U.S.-based Cisco Systems, the world's largest maker of networking equipment, along with other tech partners and the European Investment Bank have pumped $78 million into developing the sector since 2008, raising the profile of the Palestinian industry abroad and providing valuable know-how.
Yet business owners still speak of horror stories trying to import hardware past Israeli authorities, who impose strict curbs on materials they deem a security risk, and of travel problems which deter potential clients.
"Try landing in (Tel Aviv's) Ben Gurion airport and telling Israeli passport control you have business in Palestine - it doesn't work so well," said Abeer Hazboun, general manager of the Palestinian Information Technology Association (PITA), which represents more than 100 ICT firms.
Israel has denied Palestinian companies access to the 3G frequency, key to innovating in the mobile phone app market, granting it to Israeli firms serving Jewish settlers instead.
Israel captured the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza in the 1967 Middle East War, and built Jewish settlements across much of the territory. Palestinians, who number 2.65 million, wish to establish an independent state and want the half a million Jewish settlers to depart.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, on a round of shuttle diplomacy last week, said Israeli and Palestinian leaders had agreed to unveil shortly a U.S.-backed plan to relieve the "bottlenecks and barriers" to economic growth in the West Bank.
Infrastructure rebuilding helped the aid-dependent Palestinian economy average 11 percent growth in 2010-11 but the World Bank predicts growth will more than halve to 5 percent this year, again driven by construction.
Rising unemployment and soaring prices helped sink the popularity of U.S.-backed Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, who resigned on Saturday after months of tension with President Mahmoud Abbas.
Many businessmen say years of high costs and limited reforms have made it difficult to boost growth.
"Somebody needs to come up with a plan. The emphasis on bureaucracy that's been built up is an impediment to private sector growth," said Tareq Maayah, head of Exalt Technologies, a Palestinian company.
Exalt does research and development of software and mobile phone technologies outsourced by companies like Cisco, Hewlett-Packard and French-American group Alcatel-Lucent and is one of the sector's biggest and most profitable companies.
In the shade of Nablus's al-Najah University campus - Arabic for "success" - 28-year-old freelance web programmer Abdullah Yaseen clicks away at his bulky PC.
Since he graduated six years ago, he has marketed his services through social network elance.com and has devised computer programs for a range of U.S. websites from America's Home Shopping Network to U.S.-based consultancy RES. He is the lead engineer of its offshore IT solutions branch, RESpodo.
"All I need is my laptop and the Internet," Yaseen said. "Most of my friends go and look for work with the (Palestinian) Authority, because a government job is fixed, easy. Me, I don't think this way."
Many of the 2,500 Palestinian graduates specializing in computer science each year, however, cannot find steady work and seek jobs abroad.
Nearly a quarter of the Palestinian labor force is employed in the public sector, but unstable government revenues means wages are volatile.
The United States withdrew aid money last year after the Palestinians successfully bid for a status upgrade at the United Nations, while Israel withheld customs tax revenues it collects on Palestinians' behalf.
Declining state revenues, and a shortfall in aid from Arab states distracted by unrest at home, have frequently delayed public sector salary payments, setting off strikes and protests.
The shortfall has also left the Palestinian Authority (PA) with a recurring deficit and external debt, both of about 1 billion dollars, or nearly a fifth of gross domestic product.
The private sector meanwhile is held back by Israeli curbs on land, water and movement. Around 40 percent of all Palestinian workers are employed by small enterprises of around three or four employees making low-cost products mostly for the domestic market.
Since the 1993 Oslo Peace accords gave Palestinians partial self-rule, upheaval has repeatedly challenged economic progress.
Hazboun of the Palestinian IT association said that had implanted a mindset among Palestinians that there was no confidence that the economy could prosper.
"ICT can help counter this with its emphasis on innovation and a knowledge economy," she said.
A wave of Palestinian suicide bombings during the second Palestinian Intifada in 2000-2005, or uprising, was countered by numerous Israeli incursions that wrecked local infrastructure. A violent rift between the Palestinian Fatah and Hamas parties in 2006 paralyzed parliament and prevented economic reform.
Sabri Saidam, an economic adviser to President Abbas, said developing the IT sector would provide opportunities for the territory's brightest young people.
"But no Palestinian will ever accept economic development as a substitute for our national liberation," he said.
Still, outsourcing work from international firms based in Israel is helping to counter an unequal economic relationship in which the Palestinian market is mostly captive to Israeli goods, Maayah of Exalt said.
"Go into a supermarket here and what do you see? Eighty percent of the produce is Israeli. By outsourcing, it's us selling to them. This pushes the economic balance in our favor," he said.

After considering this question, I realized that we are more outspoken about shutting down racist attitudes, comments, and stereotypes than we were before. While I never thought about it before, I was so guilty of perpetuating racism by simply being passive to racist comments. In other words, I thought that I was not being a racist if I didn't laugh at someone's racist joke. Or if someone made a comment that perpetuated racial stereotyping, I wouldn't agree with them. But I also never disagreed. And in terms of social justice, I think that being neutral is the very worst form of racism.
Neutral shows that you just don't care enough to have an opinion. Our silence so many times is mistaken by those committing acts of racism as solidarity. I can remember during the last presidential election being around a group of elderly people. As they watched television coverage and debates, they would look at Barack Obama and say things like, "He seems really smart, for a colored man." And while inside I was screaming that of course intelligence has nothing to do with color, I said nothing. Looking back on that, I am so ashamed that I didn't speak up. And I am ashamed for all the times that I said nothing when someone made a derogatory joke about being black/religious/gay/female/overweight or any of the other labels that we use to judge people. In not laughing or agreeing, I thought that I was making a statement. But really, in my silence, I told people without saying a word, that I was tolerant of racism.
Since our son came home from Africa, we've heard a lot of comments on race. Most of them are well meaning. You have no idea how many times we've heard, "I had a black friend in high school," or "he acts just like a little white kid!" These people usually think they are complimenting Miles. Ummm... yes- sadly we are still in this place in America where people haven't had friends of a different race in over 30 years and still compare one's "whiteness" as a mark of supremacy.
Before we adopted, some people were blatantly mean about it. Once we were told that we had "no business raising a black child." But what I've learned is that people fear what they don't understand. Once Miles came home and added a splash of color to our neighborhood, people's tunes changed. They realized that he is just a little kid, who likes to play outside and run around with the other kids. He's just as smart. He's just as sweet. He's just as easy to love. For so many people who have never had meaningful interaction with someone outside of their white bread world, Miles busted down some barriers without even trying. He just had to be himself. He showed so many of the people that didn't understand us wanting to adopt transracially, that kids are just kids and people are just people.
Our intent with our son is never to exploit his race. We love that he's black. We love his culture. We love his hair and all its teeny tiny curls. We love all the things that make him unique. But, it is not his job as a child to make people think differently of black people. Somehow that just happens as a bi-product of his very existence. I also get that as a white person, I will never understand the racism that my son will experience. I can sympathize with him, but I can never empathize because I have never felt that level of discrimination because of my skin color. But my hope is that by trying to stand up and speak out on injustice and discrimination, I will be able to show him that I am trying to make his world a better place and that I care about what he will undoubtedly experience. If there is anything that I have learned from this whole experience, it is that we can not remain silent. Never again will I let silence speak for me as a passive form of racism.
To sin by silence, when we should protest, makes cowards out of men.- Ella Wheeler Wilcox

A refugee footballer has been freed by Thailand and left on a flight to Australia after prosecutors said they were no longer seeking his extradition to Bahrain in a case that has drawn worldwide attention.
Thailand came under pressure from Canberra, sporting bodies and human rights groups to send Hakeem al-Araibi back to Australia, where he has refugee status and plays semi-professional football.
Australian foreign minister Marise Payne said she looked forward to seeing Mr al-Araibi back in the country.
His lawyer and Thai immigration officials said he left Thailand on a scheduled flight taking him directly to his home town of Melbourne.
Thai prosecutors submitted to court a request to withdraw the case to extradite Mr al-Araibi to Bahrain, where he faces a 10-year prison sentence for an arson attack that damaged a police station. He has denied those charges and says the case is politically motivated.
Prosecutors made the decision after Thailand's foreign ministry sent their department a letter on Monday morning that indicated that Bahrain had withdrawn its request for Mr al-Araibi, said Chatchom Akapin, the director general of the attorney general office's international affairs department.
Officials in Bahrain, an island kingdom off the coast of Saudi Arabia that is home to the US Navy's 5th Fleet, said the country "reaffirms its right to pursue all necessary legal actions against" Mr al-Araibi.
Bahrain's Foreign Ministry said in a statement after his release that the "guilty verdict against Mr al-Araibi remains in place and Mr al-Araibi holds the right to appeal this court verdict at Bahrain's Court of Appeal".
Mr Al-Araibi, 25, a former Bahraini national team player, says he fled Bahrain due to political repression and that he fears torture if he returns. He has been living in Melbourne, where he plays for a semi-professional football team.
He has said he was blindfolded and had his legs beaten while he was held in Bahrain previously. He said he believed he was targeted for arrest because of his Shiite faith and because his brother was politically active in Bahrain. Bahrain has a Shiite majority but is ruled by a Sunni monarchy.
His supporters had said he should be freed and was protected under his status as a refugee with Australian residency. He was detained at the request of Bahrain relayed through Interpol upon his arrival in Bangkok in November while on honeymoon with his wife.
Activists praised Monday's developments.
"This is a huge victory for the human rights movement in Bahrain, Thailand and Australia — and even the whole world," said Sayed Alwadaei, the director of advocacy at the Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy.
"Hakeem's ordeal ended after 70 days when there was a clear public stance and solidarity movement."
Former Australia national team captain Craig Foster, who has been leading the campaign for Mr al-Araibi's release, praised all those who worked on the campaign.
"Many wonderful people stepped forward to help Hakeem," he wrote on Twitter. "They all deserve to be in front of camera now, not only me. I can't list them, but will thank each of them in time. My thoughts are with Hakeem's wife. Her nightmare will shortly be at an end. Our prayers answered."

Soup day!
It's chilly out there. Warm your cockles with this cozy soup from Martha Rose Shulman's excellent cookbook "The Very Best of Recipes for Health."
Pureed Red Pepper and Potato Soup
Adapted from "The Very Best of Recipes for Health," by Martha Rose Shulman (Rodale). Serves 6-8.
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 pounds (4 large) red bell peppers, cut into large squares
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 pound russet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and diced
2 quarts vegetable stock or chicken stock
Bouquet garni with a bay leaf and a couple sprigs each of thyme and flat-leaf parsley (wrapped in cheesecloth and tied, or just tossed into the soup to be removed later)
Ground black pepper
Croutons (optional)
Thyme leaves for garnish
Heat the oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot. Cook, stirring often, until the onion begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt. Continue to cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and the tomato paste. Stir for 1 to 2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the tomato paste has darkened. Add the peppers, paprika, and another pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the peppers begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the potatoes, broth or stock, and bouquet garni. Bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour. Remove the bouquet garni.
Blend the soup until smooth in a blender or food processor (work in 1.5 cup batches and cover the blender or food processor with a kitchen towel to prevent the hot soup from splashing). Strain the soup through a medium sieve, pushing the soup through the sieve with a spatula or the bottom of a ladle, and return to the pot. Heat through over medium heat, adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper, and serve. Garnish with croutons and thyme if desired. Drizzle a few drops of olive oil over each serving.

We may earn commission from companies mentioned on this blog, however our praise cannot be bought!
Life in Portugal doesn't always involve sitting on the beach and drinking cocktails, although of course I do try to do that as often as possible (it's Lou here today, by the way). This week, with high winds and torrential rain, we have hibernated indoors with the heating on full blast.
The miserable weather has given me a chance to spend some time furthering my studies of the Portuguese language, to watch a few movies and to spend some time in the kitchen, the results of which can be seen on our sister blog, Food and Wine Portugal. It has been a chance to regroup and relax in our lovely home.
However, a full week of this weather has led me to reflect on a fact often overlooked by holidaymakers and those considering moving to Portugal – there is really very little to do here when the weather is bad.
Once you have exhausted the shopping centres and worked your way through the cinema listings, the Algarve quickly runs out of bad-weather attractions. Strolling around pretty little towns, lazing on the beach and sitting outside a café for a coffee are all activities that quickly lose their appeal when it's pouring with rain. The result has been – in our village at least – that locals have either stayed indoors or flocked to the village's bars, seemingly content to simply sit and drink until the sun comes out.
Thankfully we both work fulltime, so the bad weather hasn't had the chance to lead to too much boredom. Once you add in the usual domestic chores, which sadly don't go away when you move to another country, the day fills up pretty quickly. So for the moment it's a case of battening down the hatches, working hard and saving up for the dreaded annual Portuguese tax bill. Still, it will all be worth it once the sun finally comes out again and we can begin to enjoy all the wonderful activities that summer life in Portugal has to offer.

Pizza Hut was founded by brothers Dan and Frank Carney in 1958 in Wichita, Kansas. The brothers borrowed $600 from their mother and opened a small restaurant in downtown Wichita.
In 1959, the first franchise opened in Topeka.
The business grew quickly in the 60s through aggressive marketing. By 1966, there were 145 franchise locations.
In 1972, Pizza Hut went public and rapid growth continued. The company merged with Pepsi in 1977 and became a division of the soft drink company.
In 1986, the 5000th franchise was opened.
In 1994, growth finally began to slow. In 1997, Pepsi packaged all their restaurant holdings which included Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell and spun them off as Yum! Brands.
As of 2018, are currently over 18,000 Pizza Hut locations operating under Yum! Brands in 94 countries worldwide.

Originally constructed in 1961 as the Hockey Hall of Fame, the building was expanded in 1967 to include Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. The portico and vestibule are faithfully reproduced here through the use of materials salvaged from the Halls of Fame building. Heritage elements include the cast-in-place-folded-plate concrete canopy, its four granite columns and two-story glazing including the original glass doors. Also preserved are the exterior pre-cast-concrete panels. Only the interior blue-grey mosaic tiles on the walls were replaced with modern materials to replicate the original tiles.
Dominating the entrance is the mural "Face-Off" by Canadian artist Ronald Satok. This mural was originally painted, in situ, at the conclusion of the construction of the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1961 using Polymer Tempura. Prior to the demolition of the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2006, to facilitate the construction of The National Soccer Stadium, the mural was carefully removed and later restored and installed in its current location.
Heritage benches located around The National Soccer Stadium were made using granite salvaged from the Hall of Fame. The benches were commissioned by the Board of Governors of Exhibition Place and designed by Canadian artist, Stephen Cruise. They depict historic events or buildings associated with the Exhibition Place site and the annual Canadian National Exhibition.
B-P, as he became familiarly known, founded Boy Scouts in 1907 and Girl Guides in 1910. The movements grew spectacularly and have touched the lives of over 300 million throughout the world. At our investiture we undertake to love and serve God and country and to develop ourselves fully so that we can help others at all times. For over forty years, Scouts Canada of the Greater Toronto Council has operated a free wheelchair service for those who cannot easily get around the EX. Many thousands of visitors appreciate the help provided by the youth and adults of this volunteer Service Corps.

The Canadian International Air Show originated in 1946 when the National Aeronautical Association of Canada attracted overflow crowds to a show at De Havilland Airport in Downsview. Staged annually thereafter, the air show moved to Exhibition Place in 1949 and became a regular feature of the Canadian National Exhibition in 1956. Here it developed into a world class exhibition featuring diverse types of aircraft, precision and stunt flying, and aeronautical technology.

With additions made in 1926, the complex ranked as the largest exhibition space under one roof in the world. Its towers and classical detailing complemented the Beaux Arts Buildings at the west end of the exhibition grounds. During the Second World War, the Coliseum served as a recruitment centre, known as Manning Depot Number One, for the Royal Canadian Air Force. It has hosted a wide range of entertainment and sporting events and has served as a showplace for livestock and other farm products. Today, the Coliseum is part of the Metropolitan Toronto's National Trade Centre, the largest trade and consumer facility in Canada.

Santana K's eight, but home runs prove costly
White Sox go deep for all five runs as Royals drop second straight
CHICAGO -- Alex Gordon, the Royals' left fielder, was dreaming of what might have been.
Gordon climbed up the wall in front of the White Sox bullpen and strained to catch Dayan Viciedo's home run drive. If he had grabbed it, perhaps the Royals would not have lost as they did Wednesday afternoon, 5-2. He was so close.
"Almost, it hit the tip of the glove," Gordon said. "If it wasn't cold and my glove wasn't stone hard, it might have stayed in. But it just hit the tip of it and came out. If I could've just done it over again, I wish I could, because I was right there in position, ready to make the play."
Instead, the ball dropped into the midst of the happy Chicago bullpen crew for a two-run homer that gave the White Sox a 4-1 lead in the fourth inning.
The Royals could not overcome that, and their season has begun 0-2, certainly not what they envisioned when they burst out of the Arizona desert with the best record and the best batting average in baseball.
In two games, the White Sox have outscored the Royals, 6-2, with all their runs coming on five homers. On Wednesday, starter Ervin Santana gave up three, and reliever Luke Hochevar surrendered the other.
Certainly the two wins buoyed the White Sox's confidence.
"Definitely, especially against a team like Kansas City, and they played us tough these first two games," said catcher Tyler Flowers, who has two of the Sox homers. "Just establishing that, and the pitchers coming out and doing a great job starting and pretty much everybody, the bullpen coming in and doing their thing -- it has been a great start."
The Royals just are not hitting, going 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position Wednesday to delight most of the 14,213 sun-seeking, shivering patrons at U.S. Cellular Field. In the series, they are 2-for-13 with RISP and have stranded 14 runners.
"We will hit," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "The weather is no excuse, because the weather's cold for them, too, but we'll get on track. We can swing the bats, and Jake Peavy was pretty good today, too."
The weather, charitably announced as 43 degrees, certainly did not hinder the White Sox. Adam Dunn blasted a 431-foot homer to right field on Santana's first pitch of the second inning.
Then Flowers, who won Monday's 1-0 opener with a home run, hit the rerun button and led off the White Sox third with a homer to left on Santana's first delivery. Viciedo's homer off Gordon's glove came in the fourth, and Alexei Ramirez, the first hitter to face Hochevar, connected in the seventh.
Santana struck out eight and gave up just five hits, but, of course, three of them left the park.
"I don't know how much the weather plays into anything," Yost said. "In Spring Training, he was 92, 94 [mph], today he was 90, 91, but command was really good," Yost said. "Yeah, he's going to give up homers because he throws strikes. ... The majority of his pitches were in really good locations, and the three pitches they hit for home runs were in a pretty good spots."
The Royals' first run of the season came in the third, unearned by virtue of two White Sox errors. Their second run came in the sixth on Gordon's double off left fielder Viciedo's glove and a couple of groundouts.
The Royals' juiciest chance came against the White Sox relievers in the seventh, when Kansas City loaded the bases with one out. But Gordon and Alcides Escobar flied out. And the Royals did not get another runner the rest of the day.
"I'm trying to drive the ball and just didn't get it done, didn't hit it far enough out there," Gordon said. "We've just got to have better hitting. But we went through this last year, where we were in these big situations and it didn't happen. So, hopefully, we learned from it last year and we can change it tomorrow. Tomorrow's a new day."
That's the tack the Royals were taking after their season had begun with two losses after such a promising time in Spring Training.
"It's just two games into the season, you guys [reporters] act like we've gone 0-162," third baseman Mike Moustakas said. "It's just two games into the season. We're going to be OK. It's a good team, a lot of great players here. ... You can't judge anything off two games."
That's what Yost was thinking, too.
"We couldn't push a run or two across in some of those spots to get us back into the game," he said. "But we'll get on track here real quick."
And if Gordon had just made that catch, who knows what might have happened? Last year on a similar play he went up and came down, belatedly and dramatically revealing that he had caught the ball.
"That was the play I was dreaming to make," he said. "I wish I could do it again."

The Consumer Product Safety Commission and IKEA North America have announced a worldwide recall of 23 million wall-mounted children's lamps after incidents were reported where infants became entangled in the lamp's cord.
There were two reported incidents in Europe involving the product, including one where a 16-month-old child died after becoming entangled by the lamp cord. No reported injuries of this nature were reported in North America.
The SMILA-series lamps were sold exclusively through IKEA at their stores, online and through their catalog from 1999 through May 2013.
Lamps came in eight designs, including "blue star, yellow moon, pink flower, white flower, red heart, green bug, blue seashell and an orange seahorse," according to an IKEA press release.
Consumers are asked to immediately stop using the recalled lamp and to contact IKEA for a free repair kit.
The lamps were made in the United States, Lithuania, and China, according to the CPSC. The consumer organization said 2.9 million of the lamps were sold in the United States with an additional 1.1 million sold in Canada. Worldwide sales of the lamps over the four year period was 23 million.

Iraq: Meaningful Reconstruction and Development
I recently represented MIGA in a special working group of the OECD focused on Iraqi reconstruction. It was an interesting and useful gathering, attended by Iraqi civil servants from across the administration, export credit agencies, and of course private sector representatives interested in doing business in the country. During the meeting we discussed a number of issues, including how countries rich in natural resources, such as oil, can use those resources to stimulate growth and development and diversify the economy. My objective at the Paris meeting was two-fold: to really listen to the views of Iraqis and then to hear the perceptions of the private sector and their views on investing.
A number of companies spoke about their particular areas of expertise, in infrastructure and project finance. Project finance and public-private partnerships are new concepts for Iraq, so there was an opportunity to discuss how the country could bring more innovative models for building infrastructure—beyond the traditional budget financing and public procurement approach.
This brings me to an important point. Iraq today is struggling with a dearth of expertise as a result of a past regime that effectively closed the country for decades. This fact cannot be avoided. However, certainly this means that there is ample room for concerned public sector and non-government organizations, working groups, and a responsible private sector to give the country a leg up, a crash course on development, if you will.
The discussion was quite interesting, and I came away thinking we could see some movement on the investment front going forward—though investors are still significantly concerned about the security situation.
MIGA has already been part of a World Bank Group delegation that visited Iraq last year. We have seen some projects coming into the pipeline and, provided they meet our requirements, we hope to be able to be doing business soon in that country to assist reconstruction and development in a meaningful way.

BALTIMORE – UMBC softball's freshman pitcher Nicole Casagrand (Horsham, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) tossed a four-hit shutout in game two of Tuesday afternoon's doubleheader to help the Retrievers split against La Salle in non-conference action at the UMBC Softball Stadium. The Retrievers fell, 5-3, in game one, but came back with a 4-0 victory in game two.
Junior second baseman Katlin Olesky (Irvine, Calif./Northwood/Saddleback College) and freshman third baseman Kaelin Jackson (Export, Pa./Franklin Regional) each drove in three runs on the day, while sophomore Mary Hartman (Eldersburg, Md./Century) hit .600 for the day (3-for-5).
The Retrievers improve to 28-17 on the season, while the Explorers move to 18-16.
La Salle took advantage of its lead-off batter being hit by a pitch, as senior Megan Hodgson drilled a double into the gap in right center to score freshman Michelle Hagerty from first and jump out in front, 1-0, in the top of the first inning. The Explorers added a pair in the top of the third inning on a two-run double to left center again from Hodgson to take a 3-0 lead.
The Explorers took out starting pitcher Alicia Aughton for the bottom of the fifth inning, despite throwing four hitless innings. Senior first baseman Chelsea Bertoglio (Laguna Hills, Calif./Laguna Hills/Saddleback College) started the rally with a two-out single through the right side. An error put runners on first and second and Hartman put the Retrievers on the board with an-RBI single to left center. With Hartman able to reach second on the throw, Olesky's single through the left side added a pair of runs to tie the contest at three apiece.
A pair of UMBC errors in the top of the sixth inning setup the game-winning RBI-single from junior Kristin Travers. The Explorers added an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning following an errant throw on a double-play opportunity.
La Salle's Mary Cate Scott picked up the victory, surrendering three unearned runs in three innings of work. UMBC starter Jessica Holte (Ashland, Va./Atlee) falls to 16-8 on the season after surrendering three earned runs on nine hits and striking out six batters.
The Retrievers started early in game two, jumping on Scott, as a single from junior catcher Taylor Hall (Cosby, Va./Cosby) was followed by a double off the fence in left field from Jackson to put the Retrievers out in front, 1-0, in the bottom of the first inning.
UMBC added to its advantage in the bottom of the fifth inning on Olesky's RBI-single through the left side of the infield, one of four-straight singles in the frame for the Retrievers. Jackson's second double of the contest came with the bases loaded to extend UMBC's lead to 4-0. Jackson went 2-for-3 from the plate with three RBI in the contest.
Casagrand (5-3) held off the Explorers to earn her second shutout of the season. Scott was credited with the loss (7-9) after allowing four earned runs on eight hits.
The Retrievers open a three-game series in America East action on Saturday, April 26 at Hartford.

I'm developing an app that automatically captions photos. It uses GPS among other things to create a human readable text.
There are cases where a photo has some data missing, (i.e GPS coordinates). I could still try to recover some data (last known GPS position), but that wouldn't be as accurate as the original data (exact GPS position). Therefore, the generated caption would also be slightly more incorrect than normal.
What's better in this case? Not generate a caption at all, or generate a slightly incorrect one?

from the kings-and-pawns deptWe had just covered the shameful Russian court ruling that sentenced members of the punk band Pussy Riot to two years in prison over their political music/speech at an Orthodox church. Aside from being a simply horrific example of the Russian government coming down hard against free political speech, this move was also curious in that it essentially took a moderately-known punk band and turned them into The West's next great martyrs. Several high profile musical artists have already kept the story going, including Madonna, Bjork, and Paul McCartney, in the tradition of The Streisand Effect.
And now, as is being reported in several places, we learn that famed chess champion Garry Kasparov's name can be added to the list of high-profile figures involved. He details in The Wall Street Journal his own arrest outside of the courthouse the day of Pussy Riot's sentencing. It should be noted that Kasparov is the leader of the United Civil Front in Russia and Chairman of the Human Rights Foundation here in The States, and that he's been a critic of Vladimir Putin in the past, but none of that appears to excuse his arrest.
The crowds outside the court building made entry nearly impossible, so I stood in a doorway and took questions from journalists. Suddenly, I was dragged away by a group of police—in fact carried away with one policeman on each arm and leg.Taking Kasparov at his word, it would appear as though the Russian government decided to silence more political speech against the silencing of political speech. This is something that can easily spiral out of control, because, while reports are that Russia in general isn't particularly supportive of what Pussy Riot did, they are far more vehemently against how the Russian government responded. As The Economist notes, recent polling shows the Russian people's compartmentalized views:
The men refused to tell me why I was being arrested and shoved me into a police van. When I got up to again ask why I had been detained, things turned violent. I was restrained, choked and struck several times by a group of officers before being driven to the police station with dozens of other protesters. After several hours I was released, but not before they told me I was being criminally investigated for assaulting a police officer who claimed I had bitten him.
Although recent polling by the Levada Centre shows that many question the court's objectivity and see the hand of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Kremlin in the prosecution, fewer are ready to support Pussy Riot: 51% held negative or hostile views toward the group's actions, another 20% were neutral or indifferent.Negative views of Pussy Riot or not, when you begin adding more arrests against speech, particularly of high profile people like Garry Kasparov, the Russian government risks losing the advantage of that ambivalence entirely and becoming the chief bad guy in this entire story (if they aren't already). Unfortunately, from Kasparov's viewpoint inside of Russia, not enough has been done diplomatically from The West as of yet.
Such a brazen step should raise alarms, but the leaders of the Free World are clearly capable of sleeping through any wake-up call. A spokesman for the Obama administration called the sentence "disproportionate," as if the length of the prison term were the only problem with open repression of political speech.
If officials at the U.S. State Department are as "seriously concerned" about free speech in Russia as they say, I suggest they drop their opposition to the Magnitsky Act pending in the Senate. That legislation would bring financial and travel sanctions against the functionaries who enact the Kremlin's agenda of repression. Hit them where it hurts and expose them as the thugs that they are. Those who wish to help should pressure their representatives to pass such measures. If you live in a democracy you have a voice. Do not waste it.Mike has written in reference to the Magnitsky Act before, but I think it goes without saying that if America wants to be a nation that stands on Free Speech principles, it needs to do so consistently, regardless of any touchy diplomatic issues that may be present. There is simply no excuse for the United States not to come out strongly against what has happened to Pussy Riot and Kasparov. As a country founded on Free Speech principles, we are obligated to uphold those values across diplomatic lines.

So it took me awhile to get around to writing the first thread in what will hopefully be a series of discussions.
I'll point out that I tried to provide a contextual intro here: http://www.onlinedebate.net/forums/s...n-on-fallacies
The first fallacy is one I've thought about a lot over the last five or so years, the appeal to authority fallacy.
For those reading, Nizkor has a pretty good summary:
Description of Appeal to Authority
An Appeal to Authority is a fallacy with the following form:
1) Person A is (claimed to be) an authority on subject S.
2) Person A makes claim C about subject S.
3) Therefore, C is true.
This fallacy is committed when the person in question is not a legitimate authority on the subject. More formally, if person A is not qualified to make reliable claims in subject S, then the argument will be fallacious.
More here: http://www.nizkor.org/features/falla...authority.html
To frame this discussion, I would like to pose a few questions to my fellow Peers:
Do we agree that this is fallacious?
Are there exceptions to it being a fallacy?
What, specifically makes it a fallacy?
I think we will generally all agree that there are times when it is a fallacy. Arguing "The sky is blue because that mentally deranged homeless man said so" is clearly a fallacious argument given the working definition in the intro thread (A fallacy is when the statement Conclusion is true because of premises is false).
Often we will make exceptions when the expert cited in the premise is in a relevant field however.
IE: "Eating a low carb diet will facilitate weightloss because PhD X, a nutritionist said so."
While I 100% agree that this gives us warrant to hold the conclusion (I'm all about specialization and trade after all), it would still seem to run afoul of the definition, and what's more would still lead to untrue conclusions.
Clearly the diet doesn't elicit weightloss because the nutritionist said so. Rather, the nutritionist, presumably, had some reasoning why that conclusion was true and we are using her title as short hand for her evidence.
That would seem to be problematic from a philosophic point of view (and absolutely essential from a practical point of view). After all, if we are going to compose a logically supported argument, it should be the underlying evidence that is the support, rather than title of the person putting forward the evidence.
I'll set aside all the practical implications of that. Obviously it isn't an effective technique for debate because not many will understand that kind of argument. Obviously there are fraud issues and more benign issues revolving around the evolution of knowledge in science to be dealt with. I would suggest setting those aside.
So my question here (aside from the structural questions above), is do we simply accept the authority as a generally useful fallacy? Or is there a point I'm missing that makes it not fallacious in those scenarios?

|Andrew Hindes
I recently wrote an article for PR News about the importance of using proper grammar when writing public relations materials, even in our digital age of texting shorthand, hashtags and 140-character tweets. Judging by the number of times it has been shared via social media, the piece struck a chord with readers. It was heartening to see how many people are passionate about the correct use of the English language.
But while we can all agree on the value of weeding out typos and adhering to stylistic conventions, in today's crowded media environment, simply avoiding grammatical mistakes isn't enough to make your press materials stand out.
In my work as a PR writing instructor, I strive to help clients write effectively—not just correctly. Here are seven essential elements of good PR writing that will help make your press materials clearer, more concise and more compelling to journalists and other readers:
Planning: Before you start writing, know your objectives, who your target audience is and what types of outlets you'll be pitching.
Storytelling: It's been said that good stories happen to those who can tell them. Honing your storytelling chops will make whatever you're writing—whether it's a corporate profile, a press release or a Facebook update—more engaging.
Empathy: Put yourself in the readers' shoes and focus on their interests and needs rather than yours or your client's.
Context: Help journalists—and their readers—understand the broader significance of your story and how it fits into the larger context of your industry, your community or the world.
Flow: Good writing has a rhythm that carries the reader along like a catchy melody. Pay attention to the way you transition between ideas, where you put your paragraph breaks and even the sounds of the individual words and sentences.
Structure: The way you organize a story—which ideas you present and in what order—can have a major impact on whether a reader hits delete halfway through the first paragraph or reads it all the way till the end.
Accuracy: The best writing in the world won't matter if you get your facts wrong.
Good grammar is like wearing nice clothes for a job interview. Sure, it's important, and failing to do so can be a deal-breaker, but just showing up in a suit and tie is not going to land you the job. Similarly, poor grammar can be a turn-off to journalists, but merely demonstrating your ability to use a semicolon properly isn't going generate press coverage for your company or clients.
To increase the chances of your press release or email pitch getting picked up, tell your story well, in language that is engaging and easy to understand.

Regional Forum: Developing Pacific Local Food Crops and Fisheries Value Chains – Key Innovations and Critical Success Factors
Victoria Parade
In 2016, the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) launched the four-year project "Promoting Nutritious Food Systems in the Pacific", which is being implemented in partnership with the Pacific Islands Private Sector Organisation (PIPSO). CTA and partners will organise a regional forum, from 7 – 10 May 2018 in Suva, Fiji, to share the results and recommendations from commissioned multi-country studies and national and regional consultations on: the agriculture/nutrition nexus; weather risk management and tools; agricultural and value chain finance; business development; novel ICTs and priority nutrition sensitive value chains. This cross-learning event will bring together key stakeholders; senior officials and experts from the public and private sector and producer, women and community based organisations to craft the way forward for collective national and regional action that can lead to the further development and upgrading of Pacific local food crops and fisheries value chains for improved food and nutrition outcomes, livelihoods and income and sustainable natural resource management.

A former "One Life to Live" star has admitted resisting arrest in a plea deal that resolves charges stemming from a fight at a New York City gas station.
Nathaniel Marston pleaded guilty Thursday to the misdemeanor charge. He has completed an anger-management program, and his case is expected to be closed without jail time or probation.
Marston was accused of attacking three men with a metal crate and kicking at police officers during the scuffle in October 2007 at a service station. Police say one officer was bruised, and one man suffered a leg.
The 34-year-old actor played Dr. Michael McBain on the ABC soap opera from 2003 to 2007. He says he was dismissed after his arrest.
A show spokeswoman declined to comment on the circumstances of his departure.

MyVector is an innovative start-up designed to addresses the challenges faced by corporate travellers. It was conceived and incorporated by a group of employees and former employees of one of the worlds most global companies, who were familiar with international travel, and the problems it poses. Between them, the team has travelled over seven million miles, on over 5000 commercial fllights.
MyVector aims to bring the community aspects of the Internet that have been popular to young leisure users to a more mature professional audience. MyVector is an easily updateable way to securely let people know where the user is at any time. It also lets them see clearly what that means in global terms - whether it's day or night where the user is, and if (and how) they can be contacted.
eleventeenth was selected by MyVector to offer consultancy and design services, and to architect, develop and host their service offering.
MyVector wished to provide a flexible networked information system, enabling users to easily publish their whereabouts to colleagues and friends. The requirement was for an easy to use website that would enable users to enter their information, backed up by a permission system to enable users to manage who could see this potentially sensitive data. The application also required a friends system that enabled users to group their friends so that they could apply the permissions in a meaningful and useful manner.
MyVector was development from the ground up. Since the management board of MyVector is distributed around the world, eleventeenth took part in several teleconferences before a specification document was created and distributed for collaborative input and approval.
Once requirements were collected they were prioritised, and a baseline agreed for a soft launch in late 2006.
A system was developed that included content management for the website using the Digital Logistics Manager platform. An event and calendar management system was created for users, and integrated with an account management system, with an advanced permissions and 'buddy' system to ensure users' data was shareable on a granular level. The event entry system integrates with global gazetteer data to speed entry and improve data consistency, so that locations can be accurately matched with the geographical locations.
"MyVector created a splash as soon as it launched, and quickly began to attract users through word of mouth. Although its appeal is not easily apparent to users who do not frequently travel internationally, among its target audience, it has achieved immediate success.
MyVector now plans to use their working concept to seek funding to expand and market the service, and to develop a corporate service offering to help companies achieve resource efficiencies, reduce their carbon footprint and manage risk in security alerts or natural disaster situations."
Tarquin Clark, CEO MyVector
