CLEVELAND – Here we go, Game 7, the 1908s vs. the 1948s. The Cubs or Indians will win, provided the apocalypse doesn't strike first. Or a deluge that is forecast to strike at about 11 p.m. ET, and could be the first rainstorm in history to perpetuate not one but two droughts.
The beauty of Game 6 — an otherwise ugly affair resulting in a 9-3 Cubs victory Tuesday — is that it left the canvas blank for Game 7.
A Cy Young candidate will start for each team. The Indians' top relievers are rested. And the Cubs are set to unwrap a fresh set of relievers, plus extract every last 100-mph fastball from Aroldis Chapman's glorious left arm.
Oh, maybe that last part is extreme. Then again, maybe it's not. Game 7 could reveal if Cubs manager Joe Maddon pushed Chapman too far by summoning him with two on and two outs in the seventh inning of a game that the Cubs led, 7-2. But only if the night unfolds in a certain way.
Who knows? The Indians might lead start to finish Wednesday. Or the Cubs might build a big enough cushion to allow left-hander Jon Lester to serve as their middle man and closer, enabling them to avoid Chapman entirely.
Here's what to look for in Game 7:
*The starting-pitching matchup.
For the Indians, right-hander Corey Kluber will become the first pitcher to start twice on three days' rest in the Series since Curt Schilling did it for the Diamondbacks in 2001.
Kluber's combined line from Games 1 and 4:
"How can you not want to face Kluber one more time?" the Cubs' Chris Coghlan asked. "As a competitor, you want him all the way. You don't want anyone else."
Kluber is at 245 1/3 innings, including postseason. However, he threw only 30 1/3 innings in October. His average monthly total during the regular season was nearly 36.
Kyle Hendricks, meanwhile, will be starting on the road for the first time this postseason. His major-league leading 2.13 ERA — if it's any solace to the Indians — broke down to 1.32 at home, 2.95 on the road. And his 1.31 ERA in four postseason starts at Wrigley was nearly identical to his regular-season mark.
The one difference? In October, Hendricks barely averaged over fine innings per start.
*The Cubs' revamped bullpen.
Jon Lester and John Lackey, come on down! Especially Lester.
Maddon's call for Chapman in Game 6 was a complete vote of no-confidence in the rest of his bullpen. Lefty Mike Montgomery is gassed. Righty Carl Edwards allowed the only run in Game 3 and a leadoff single in Game 5. Righty Pedro Strop was shaky in the ninth inning of Game 6, and righty Hector Rondon is pitching only in low-leverage situations.
Lester, who would be working on two days' rest after throwing 90 pitches in Game 5, likely will be the Cubs' first reliever, sources said. His personal catcher, David Ross, will enter with him, replacing Willson Contreras, and likely play the rest of the way in the final game of his career.
Ross, 39, joked that he will be so excited for Game 7, he might need to drink decaffeinated coffee. Told that standing room tickets are $2,000, he said, "Can I sell mine? I'm looking for a job after tomorrow."
*Rajai Davis.
Before Game 6, I asked Indians manager Terry Francona if he considered starting Davis over rookie Tyler Naquin in center, even the Indians gained the platoon advantage by avoiding the right-right matchup of Davis and Jake Arrieta.
"A little bit," Francona said. "But I've been telling guys we need to be who we are. You start doing something different, it might set off doubts."
Fair enough, especially considering that Davis was 3-for-27 in the postseason. Still, two of Davis' hits came in his final two at-bats of Game 5. And Naquin's failure to catch a routine two-out fly by Addison Russell was the turning point of Game 6. Instead of ending the first inning trailing 1-0, the Indians fell behind, 3-0.
Naquin not only is 4-for-23 with 14 strikeouts in the postseason, but he also rated a minus-36 in center during the regular season according to John Dewan's plus-minus ratings, meaning he made 36 fewer plays than the average center fielder.
Davis was minus-10, but brings far more experience. It will be a shock if he isn't in center for Game 7.
*Indians bullpen.
If the Indians were going to lose Game 6, they were better off losing big.
Their top three relievers should be fresh – Andrew Miller would be working on three days rest, Cody Allen and Bryan Shaw on two. Francona, when asked about that group in his post-game news conference, turned the question around almost immediately, talking about how the Indians compelled the Cubs to use Chapman after trailing, 7-0.
"You always want to win the game, but the next best thing . . . was try to make them use pitching even in a loss," Francona said. "So we hung around enough, at least Chapman had to pitch. You never know, maybe that helps us."
Several Cubs players recalled Reds first baseman Joey Votto saying a few years back that Chapman pitched better with more work. The numbers suggest as much, and Chapman certainly doesn't sound as if throwing 62 pitches over three days, including 20 in Game 6, will preclude him from maxing out in Game 7.
"It's the last game," Chapman said. "I'm going to try and prepare myself physically and mentally before the game, taking the therapy that I need to get myself ready. Then we'll see where the chips fall. I'll be ready to go, whatever (Maddon) needs me to do."
The lingering question is whether Maddon asked him to do too much on Tuesday night.
The manager believed he had no other choice against the middle of the Indians' order. Chapman ended the seventh by retiring Francisco Lindor on a groundout; the original safe call was overturned, and Chapman, who appeared to twist his ankle stepping on first, said afterward that he was fine.
Maddon laments putting Chapman in difficult spots in the previous two series; a 7-2 lead certainly provided greater margin for error. The only reason Chapman started the ninth — and threw five extra pitches with a 9-2 lead — was that Strop needed more time to warm up.
Game 7 merely will determine whether Maddon gets second-guessed for a lifetime, becomes the first manager to win a World Series for the Cubs in 108 years or something in between.
Nothing much is at stake, really. Only histories and legacies, curses and droughts.

The Russian's Tender Lover Online - Elizabeth Lennox
The Russian's Tender Lover Elizabeth Lennox
Chapter 1
Darcy watched it all as if it were a movie. The only way to get through the evening was to pretend like she wasn't here. It was the only way to get through the night so the flashing lights didn't make her dizzy, the painfully loud music, which could be felt by the thumping vibrations as well as heard, didn't give her a splitting headache and the four inch heels she was wearing didn't make her feet ache as if the bones themselves were rebelling against the abuse. Instead of being in the middle of the dance floor as she was now, she pretended that she was sitting in a comfortable theatre seat watching the scene. In her movie, the people moving to the heavy beat of the music, laughing and flirting, were all actors, all playing their parts.
As was she. She was only an actress playing a part, Darcy reminded herself. She'd developed this part, this character, coming up with the props, choreographing not just the movements but also the entrance and exits of the main players in each scene, the accessories, the clothing. She'd even written the script. It had taken her years to perfect this scene, years of sweat and aching feet, cheeks sore from smiling and laughing, sleep deprived nights, exhausting, draining flights zipping across the globe to wherever the next scene needed to be played. She had worked to ensure that the correct "audience" was watching too. It wasn't all about the place, props and the costumes. Any director will admit that the audience is key. Play to the audience and everything works out exactly as planned.
Smothering a yawn because there as always someone watching, Darcy continued moving, swinging, laughing. All in an effort to play to the audience. Every time she wanted to just toss everything to the wind, she reminded herself of Fred and Ginger. They needed her. She was all they had and she couldn't let them or any of the others down.
"I need a drink," she yelled out above the music. Without waiting for a response, she turned on her already indignant toes and glided off the dance floor heading straight to the bar. Uncaring if her dance partner was with her or had even heard her, she slipped between the tightly packed bodies until she reached the bar, her eyes rapidly surveying the group of bartenders working diligently to mix all the drinks for the other patrons, slipping their tips into pockets, ringing up credit cards and flashing smiles to whoever was the highest bidder. It was all so cumbersome, she thought, smiling as seductively as possible to Jim, another actor who was playing his part perfectly.
Stepping up onto the stool's wooden foot rest next to her, she was able to get her whole upper body above the bar. Leaning over at the exact angle so that her dress titillated those behind her, hoping to get a flash of more than simply skin, she also purposely looked like she was flashing the bartender, who ogled on cue, and then smiled his gratitude as he leaned in as Darcy whispered something in his ear. Right on time, she felt rather than saw, the flash out of the corner of her eye.
Perfect, she thought with relish. The cameras had been smuggled in somehow, as they always were. Those paparazzi were ingenious at stalking their prey.
Nodding, the bartender moved back, winked and proceeded to mix her "special". A few moments later, two large martini glasses were placed in front of her, just as her dance partner managed to make his way to her side. Her partner apparently wasn't as agile at sneaking through hot, sweaty bodies as she was, but since this was her profession, she'd refined her skill so she was especially adept at maneuvering through the throngs.
Leaning against him slightly, she smiled up at him, winked and downed the contents of the first glass in one smooth movement. With a walk that started to falter, she reached out to hand the martini glass back to the bartender with a nod to fill it up again. "More of the same!" she called out, being heard by several other patrons nearby. Her dance partner wasn't as smooth and was only able to sip his martini. She felt a bit sorry for him since his was straight gin with only a breath of vermouth but there was no time for sympathy in this drama. The play had to go

Joe Weber: the Black Hammer. A hero from the Spiral Slums. A husband. A father. Gone without a trace. A visitor from the outside world arrives on the farm, looking for the Black Hammer and bringing news of Spiral City to its Golden Age heroes. Her arrival stirs up old memories and awakens new hope in the marooned heroes.
I had to fight back tears reading this. I read that Lemire wanted a bit of humor in this series, but Black Hammer #7 hit on some emotional heartstrings for me that seem to be getting plucked more often nowadays with some recent movies as well as just the personal struggles of getting old, feeling stuck, and looking back on more days than you can count and rethinking your decisions. Having said that, I think it's amazing what Lemire has done. He took a concept of superheroes that time somehow forgot, and gave them a crisis of character, which is: what do they do in a world that doesn't need them? That coupled with the art style of Ormston and coloring of Stewart were enough to take me on an emotional roller coaster ride that, as painful as it may be to get on, may be more therapeutic to experience than to not having ridden at all. Needless to say, I will be purchasing the previous issues and look forward to more! Read Full Review
Black Hammer is my favorite Dark Horse comic on the shelves today, and rightfully so. It is a super hero epic that shows the human side of these larger than life characters, which allows for us, the readers, to connect that much more. If you havent given it a shot yet, now is the time to jump on board with Black Hammer. Read Full Review
Black Hammer #7 delivers an emotional dose of reflective storytelling. Joe Webers story is a sad one and it leads to a sad conclusion. Im curious to discover more about Lucy and her journey to the farm and whether this renewed hope will eventuate into something more. Knowing that the hammer must never fall and that someone must always wield it has me intrigued with what will transpire next. Im curious and excited for what the next issue will reveal and looking forward to learnning more about this mysterious story. Read Full Review
The return of Black Hammer is definitely welcome and focusing on the character of Black Hammer even more so. Digging into his past reveals some familiar beats that are executed well as Ormston provides for some very fun pages and layouts to deal with his past and early adventures, as well as the creativity of the Kirby inspired material. At its core is the story of a father and daughter and the separate that exists because of what they've gone through. It's a very solid issue that brings more things into the picture in a clearer way while still holding back enough for some twists and turns ahead that I'm looking forward to discovering more of. Read Full Review
Artist Dean Ormston manages amplify the Kirby influence of Black Hammer's origin. Yet as the past and present switch places, it is clear he manages to distinguish each setting with great ease. The issue uses a mix of golden age and silver age art techniques for the past while using a more modern art style for the present. Read Full Review
This series delivers another solid chapter giving us one heck of an emotional read. We get some superb storytelling in Black Hammer's origin and our current timeline moves along nicely as well. I can't wait to see if something in Lucy's story will offer our Rockwood gang a clue on how they can escape their predicament. Read Full Review
Black Hammer is a terrific series. Lemire is doing top-notch character work while Ormston and Stewart are executing some lovely and expressive art. However, this issue was not as strong as what we've come to expect. I'm not sold on the Black Hammer character, and I think they may have been leaning too hard into his death for drama, but I'm looking forward to see how the creative team develops newcomer Lucy. Read Full Review
Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston devote the majority of this issue to fleshing out the background of the fallen Black Hammer and the bond he shared with his daughter. The story is executed well, as usual, with the creators doing an excellent job of making readers care for a hero who had little direct role in the series before now. Read Full Review
Although necessary and full of important information this issue comes off a little emotionally disjointed. That and some confusion due to art choices involved in a particularly important moment led me to be a little disappointed in this issue. Enjoyed enough, but without the emotional resonation it's hard to say I liked it near as much other issues. Read Full Review
EPIC ISSUE... Emotional stotytelling at it's finest. RIP BLACK HAMMER
We finally are witness to the history of Black Hammer and his death. I love the Silver Age-style storytelling in this. Though the mystery remains, this issue is another great entry in what is possibly comics' best series right now.
Superb storytelling and character work.

It's become a standard for me to disagree with close to 99% (I've done the math) of what the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has to say this time of year. They're the ones who, by some force of divine intervention, managed to convince thousands that Kate Winslet's supporting role in "The Reader" was that of a Lead actress (and that it was worthy of praise in the first place); they were the ones who shoved "The Blind Side" into the Best Picture category, tacked on to soften the blow of Sandra Bullock's wholeheartedly political win for Lead Actress (at least they got the category right). This is also the same organization I've slathered with praise in a gut-reaction post earlier today for nominating "The Tree of Life" for Best Picture (though I've had time to reflect; my sense of dread in realizing I praised an institution who left out Michael Fassbender and Shailene Woodley grew as today sloshed on).
While my relationship with the Academy has been Whitney/Bobby at best (I'm addicted and can't walk away to their, um, "substances," but they're bound to be the death of me at some point), I always find it necessary for those of us who have no need to be political come awards season share our opinions on the best of the best of 2011. Granted, I've yet to see Shame, Pariah, A Better Life, A Separation, W.E., or Pina (Holla C-Market Pittsburgh status!).
Without further ado, here's my personal Top 10 films for 2011 (#1 being the best, qualifier is being released in the United States theatrically sometime between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011) along with my personal nominations in every category the Oscars deems worthy to acknowledge in their own right (plus an ensemble acting category. Suck it, AMPAS).
Honorable mentions: Carnage – Roman Polanski, Hanna – Joe Wright, Like Crazy – Drake Doremus, Contagion – Steven Soderbergh, The Iron Lady – Phyllida Lloyd, Moneyball – Bennett Miller, The Descendants – Alexander Payne, The Debt – John Madden, The Help – Tate Taylor, Life, Above All – Oliver Schmitz, Viva Riva! – Djo Tunga Wa Munga, Crazy Stupid Love – Glenn Ficara + John Requa, Untouchable Girls – Leanne Pooley
10 – Beginners – Mike Mills
Imagine your father is dying. Imagine he was married to your mother for decades. Imagine the foundation of your life shattering to pieces once he tells you he's gay. Your reaction might be very similar to that of Oliver (Ewan McGregor) in Mike Mills' Beginners, a film which chronicles the post-rock bottom resurgence of a man who did each of the aforementioned. Christopher Plummer gives a beautifully intimate performance as the "born-again gay" in question, enveloped within a gorgeously crafted screenplay that ponders not only the mysticism of life itself, but the importance of finding a new one if yours isn't, you know, working out. Melanie Laurent rounds out the superb cast in this wise, contemplative, progressive drama.
9 – Submarine – Richard Ayoade
Coming-of-age tales are a standard in any year-end film arsenal. Richard Ayoade's Submarine introduces us to Oliver, a meek English teen whose demeanor perfectly matches the dreary, rain-soaked landscape which contains him. The film is characterized largely through its gorgeous aesthetic quality, with ingenious cinematography and intelligent editing elevating a somewhat standard tale to greatness. Submarine is, at its core, just another coming-of-age tale, albeit in beautifully alternative fashion that values the retention of the teenage experience as one ages.
8 – Martha Marcy May Marlene – Sean Durkin
State of mind was a large theme running throughout the films of 2011, and Sean Durkin's Martha Marcy May Marlene takes no prisoners as it immerses you into the mind of a runaway schizophrenic. Big on atmospherics and narratively disorienting editing (intentional effect and affect, of course), Durkin's film showcases the power of the medium when a talented mind takes advantage of its power to force an audience into submission and feel it instead of simply seeing it. Elizabeth Olsen takes out the entire 20-plus year acting career of her sisters in one fell swoop to round out this disturbingly underappreciated masterpiece from a first-time director.
7 – Bridesmaids – Paul Feig
"If this is only a chick flick, then call me a chick!". Such is the most prominent text on the back of the DVD case for 2011′s smash hit Bridesmaids, written by The Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern in his review of the film in May. There are two glaring issues here. The first being the fact that such a statement (no doubt wank to his own clever pairing of words) was made in the first place. The second being the decision of the marketing team behind Bridesmaids chose to feature it in their promo. It's this kind of gendered pandering (that the marketing for Bridesmaids is fully guilty of as well) that unfairly pigeonholes a film like Bridesmaids into a categorical hole the critic in question clearly felt the need to dig it out of before he even saw it. It's got an all-female focal cast. It's written by two women. Thematically it tackles issues of feminine companionship and coupling–hell, it even concludes with a Wilson Phillips (cue the bro at the back of the bar, hands cupped to mouth; "GAAAY!") musical number–most of which are explored while its leading ladies parade in four inch heels. But its elements like that which force a simple "comedy" one way or another into the realm of being "unacceptable" for a male audience to consume and, as Morgenstern would suggest, enjoy. In recent popular culture, critics and audiences alike will have you believe that "Bridesmaids" is only "correct" when it's trailblazing in the romantic comedy genre; when it's "women telling really dirty jokes and succeeding" and not just "a really fucking fantastic script written by one of the most endearing comedic writers and character performers of today," which a more appropriate form of praise would be. Bridesmaids is a film which relies more on the charismatic persona of Wiig to shine both on script and screen. It's a seamless fusion of her screenwriting talents and her ability to work that script into a physical comedic spectacle. The screenplay for Bridesmaids doesn't succeed on a "Film Studies" level, if you will, but rather simply on being an unpretentious, consistently hilarious vessel for an artist's infectious talent. Is it so wrong to champion Wiig and Mumolo's screenplay for simply being "funny?" Or have we in the realm of entertainment consumption strayed so far into self-important territory that we're afraid to praise something simply for succeeding on the most basic of levels? (the millions who tune in to "Saturday Night Live" every weekend to watch Wiig's character creations would probably argue otherwise). Must we really pad a movie that includes a scene of a woman shitting herself in the street as a defining piece of "feminist" comedy in order to legitimize its presence on the awards circuit this year? Some will say yes, it's not a high enough form of praise to analyze something on the basis of simplicity. I'd rather sit back and laugh.
6 – Young Adult – Jason Reitman
If there ever was a time where I enjoyed being whipped around in the "wrong" direction, it was when I saw Young Adult, Juno-writer Diablo Cody's brilliant concoction, for the first time. The film is a challenge not only to the waning morals and standards of America's women, but also to our classically-conditioned notions of what a film should and should not "do" for its audience. Closure and satisfaction are two things Cody's screenplay denies its audience here; we're presented with a character, Mavis (Charlize Theron), who we dislike at the beginning of the film and despise by its end. The screenplay flashes bits of hope in front of our face and snatches them away and punishes us for ever thinking we were right in the act of expectation. Young Adult is a powerful social comment thematically and structurally that succeeds largely on its refusal to let its audience win.
5 – Pariah – Dee Rees
4 – Take Shelter – Jeff Nichols
Another film which forces us into a daze of its beautiful atmospherics, Take Shelter showcases not only some of the finest performances of 2011 (Jessica Chastain shines as usual, Michael Shannon gives the best male performance of the entire year) but also some of the most inventive storytelling we've seen in years. The film is, at times, a muddled comment on our society's clouded values, stifled prophets, and familial complacency.
3 – The Artist – Michel Hazanavicius
It could have easily become a gimmick; a contemporary picture paying the most intense of homages to the silent era which laid foundation for what we see on screens at megaplexes and art theaters alike, becoming a "silent" film itself. It was through the silence of the early 1900s that cinema was able to become heard throughout the rest of the world, and Michel Hazanavicius' gorgeous tribute to the "father" era doesn't rely on its best selling point as a crutch to tell a ho-hum story. The Artist doesn't just use silence (and the eventual interplay of sound towards the middle and ending bits) as a gimmick, but rather utilizes aural emptiness to mean something within the context of its thematic structure, updating the style of 1920s silent cinema for a contemporary audience and intermixing it with modern cinematography and editing. Gorgeous aesthetics (costumes, makeup, and performance are all spot-on here) round out one of 2011's most ingenious entries.
2 – Melancholia – Lars von Trier
Von Trier's films aren't the easiest to digest, and Melancholia is no different. It's a deeply depressing voyage into the mind of one of the most pessimistic (misogynistic) artists working in cinema. But judging a filmmakers' personality versus their input is ludicrous, and Melancholia channels that personality into a cinematic representation of the apocalypse. Von Trier sets the tone for his film on a grim note and lets its implications simmer for the next 120 minutes, building upon the already infectious sense of dread in a gloriously terrifying crescendo. Gorgeous cinematography, haunting performances by Charlotte Gainsbourg and Kirsten Dunst, and the darkest tone this side of Dogville make Melancholia one of the most deeply disturbing films I've ever seen.
1 – The Tree of Life – Terrence Malick
The Tree of Life does everything the medium of cinema is supposed to do. It transports, it mystifies, it astounds, it affects, it makes dynamic the world we take for granted all around us. It's a powerful testament to the medium, reflecting its crafter's soul in a highly personal, lyrical encapsulation of life through the eyes of one of its subjects. It's a film that largely defies words, that deserves to be experienced versus watched, absorbed versus interpreted. At its core it's a tale of familial dischordance, but Malick's inventive methods of filmmaking convey much more to us than could ever be reduced to a mere plot description. It's a masterpiece of cinema, one which speaks to us through power which can only be conjured through visual language and affect. A true testament to why "film" gets under our skin, and why dreams like The Tree of Life blur the line between experiential fantasy and the reality binding you to the couch you sit on, basking in everything Malick wants to show you.

How Does Apple HomeKit Work?
We are truly living in the age of technology, where innovations are being made across all sectors, and products are becoming more readily available to the mainstream. Finally, all of the best gadgets from our favorite films are coming to fruition. Apple's new HomeKit, for example, makes Disney channel's Smart House a virtual reality. As a one-stop-app for home security and accessibility, Apple's HomeKit allows you to assemble all of your smart devices and monitor them virtually anywhere and anytime.
Think of the Apple HomeKit as the hive mind for all of the smart devices, or worker bees, you have hooked up around your home, from lighting to thermostats to motion detectors. This system lives inside the free Apple Home app and Siri voice commands
Those with iOS 10 or later can get acquainted with the app over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. To control your devices remotely at, say, the office, however, you will need EITHER:
- A third or fourth generation Apple TV, running tvOS 9 or later OR
- an iPad running iOS 10.
Not to put an end to the list of stipulations, it is also required that consumers who wish to share access to control their Apple HomeKit must have:
- a fourth generation Apple TV with tvOS OR
- an iPad running iOS 10.
So, despite the app being free, you can expect to dole out a hefty amount of money, depending on what you already own and what you must purchase to meet the system's requirements. As with any technology in its infancy, there are limitations to what devices are compatible. The HomeKit must be compatible with the smart devices it is meant to coral. Brands like ecobee are programmed to jive with multiple smart systems, including HomeKit, Google Assistant and Amazon's Alexa. Because it is not the only option for consumers, Apple's HomeKit must be able to stand out from the competition.
Set-up is made to be beginner friendly, with features such as scan-able accessory codes. However, classifying accessories creating a homepage can be confusing. There are functions, groups and names necessary for Siri to correlate your commands to location, product, and action.
Then there are zones that are a compilation of multiple rooms, such as the downstairs zone consists of a bathroom, living room and kitchen, which are each listed as individual rooms. Once you have set up all of your phrasing and terminology for Siri to recognize, and your app to list, you can begin to reap the rewards. Forgot to lock the front door on your way to work? Simply speak into your iOS device remotely or tap the app to ease your mind. Besides the practicality of security features, HomeKit allows you to embrace your inner wizard and control your surroundings like you've graduated from Hogwarts!
Technology has certainly come a long way in such a short amount of time. For instance, in 1954 a Chevrolet was available for about the same price as a new, clunky, and imperfect advancement known as colored television. It wasn't until upgrades were made and production became more streamlined that prices were able to drop and become a fixture in American households across the country.
We don't know where smart technology will take us from here, or whether systems such as HomeKit will become as ingrained in the average household as the television, but when innovation is encouraged, we all benefit.

Oxymorons are contradictory expressions. How can terms such as "false facts" or a "genuine lie" make sense? Because oxymorons tend to be ambivalent, they should be avoided in scientific writing. Nonetheless, there are a few oxymorons that are commonly used. Examples are ill health, common sense, bad grammar, disorganized system, conspicuous absences, or cruel kindness.
Q When using an oxymoron, make sure the term is commonly known and its use is appropriate in scientific communication.

Ahh, the English language. Effortless when you're chatting with your mates, a royal pain in the ass when you want to be technically correct.
All the rules and idiosyncrasies are enough to drive you mad. Heck, I've probably made a dozen mistake in the first two sentences alone.
Even still, there are countless rules in the English language that we abide by in blissful ignorance – one of them recently went viral on Twitter after catching everyone by surprise.
This particular rule is concerned with where we place adjectives ahead of a noun in a sentence. "Big dog" is simple enough, but what if I want to describe it as smelly and Australian as well?
The correct way to order adjectives before a noun is as follows:
Opinion – size – age – shape – colour – origin – material – purpose – noun
If you didn't know that, congratulations – neither did anyone else!
That was until journalist Matthew Anderson discovered the rule in The Elements of Eloquence: How to Turn the Perfect English Phrase, a fascinating book written by Mark Forsyth, and decided to share it on Twitter.
It didn't take long for it to go viral.
Things native English speakers know, but don't know we know: pic.twitter.com/Ex0Ui9oBSL

Not convinced? Let's fiddle around with the phrase provided and see what happens:
I love eating food with my green French old little lovely silver rectangular whittling knife.
Yep, I completely butchered it.
One Twitter user has a pretty decent theory as to why we all follow this rule without realising it:
I would venture a guess that children's books, songs and rhymes play a big part why you know this intuitively.
— Johanna Kivistö (@cresentum) September 18, 2017
That said, we could probably broaden that attribution to the general process of growing up with the language.
If you were one of the few people who knew of this rule's existence: don't spoil the fun, you jerk.

Thread: Bird keeps it simple
Bird keeps it simple
Bird Thongchais latest album is called Simply Bird, and as the title suggests, hes gone back to a simpler style of easy-listening pop. Its a definite change from the more dance-oriented records hes put out in recent years.
Youve probably already heard the first single, Chouy Rab Tee (Pick up the Phone, Please), which has become a big hit. Nam Ta (Tear) has a nice melody and brings some rap and R&B flavours into the mix, while Loke Bai Prod (Favourite World) has a jazzy, soulful vibe. Another highlight is Mee Tae Kid Tung (Thinking About You), a classy pop tune composed by Nitipong Hornak.
Simply Bird is an easy-going blend of R&B, hip-hop and pop. Thai listeners will already know about Birds outstanding voice and melodies, so fans should be able to appreciate this welcome return to his trademark style. VH

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Shares of AudioCodes AUDC, -0.34% rose 38 cents, or 3.6% to $10.85 in early trading Tuesday, buoyed by a First Albany upgrade to buy from neutral.

What is Septicemia (Foals) ?
Many times foals born in a dirty birthing stall or out in the pasture are more susceptible to developing septicemia. Usually, foals will become ill within three to four days of birth. In some cases, the foal is infected with septicemia in-utero. If this occurs the foal will be born in a weakened state or even comatose.
It is important that foals are born within clean conditions. Keeping the birthing stall disinfected and providing clean bedding every day will reduce the risk of septicemia in foals. After every birth, the birthing stall must be scrubbed, preferably with a bleach solution to kill any bacteria that may be present.
Septicemia in foals can be fatal if not treated aggressively and quickly. It is a disease that involves bacteria within the bloodstream. The bacteria then infiltrate the tissues of the foal. The bacterial infection will spread through the tissues and affect bones, joints, organs and the central nervous system.
Book First Walk Free!
Symptoms of Septicemia (Foals) in Horses
Foals are can be fragile with an immature immune system. Therefore, the slightest illness can be fatal. If you notice that your foal is not thriving or seems to be weak, contact your veterinarian for an emergency appointment. Immediate detection and treatments are vital for the survival of your foal. Symptoms of septicemia to watch for include:
- Unable to stand
- Weak suckling
- Lethargy
- Weakness
- Diarrhea
- Refusal to eat
- Excessive sleeping
- Bloating
- Labored breathing
- Fever
- Swollen joints
- Colic-like symptoms
Causes of Septicemia (Foals) in Horses
Septicemia is a bacterial infection that is caused when bacteria enters the body and then spreads through the bloodstream. Generally, foals that are three to four days old are the most susceptible to septicemia. Those born in dirty conditions are at a higher risk. Septicemia can be fatal if not treated aggressively immediately.
Adult horses can also develop septicemia, but instead of the bacteria entering through an umbilical cord, it occurs when the intestinal barrier has been disturbed. Generally, this is from inflammatory bowel disease or a GI obstruction.
Diagnosis of Septicemia (Foals) in Horses
There is no diagnostic tool available to detect sepsis early. Veterinarians have developed a system that helps identify sepsis at a more treatable stage. Your veterinarian will look at the foal's medical history, observation of the living conditions and laboratory testing to determine if septicemia is present.
A complete blood count and urinalysis will show the presence of bacteria within the foal. Arterial blood gas analysis will also help in diagnosing septicemia. A negative blood culture does not definitively rule out septicemia.
Your veterinarian will also look to see what organs, if any, have been affected by the infection. Once a full assessment has been completed and the definitive diagnosis of septicemia has been made, a treatment plan will be set for your foal.
Treatment of Septicemia (Foals) in Horses
Your veterinarian will implement an aggressive treatment plan that will include antibiotics to help reduce the spread of septicemia through the bloodstream.
Antimicrobial medications may also be used along with frequent monitoring, fluid therapy, nutritional support, and cardiovascular support. This generally requires that the foal, or horse of any age, be hospitalized during treatment.
Anti-endotoxin therapy may be recommended if there are GI disturbances or other illnesses within the abdominal cavity. Supportive care along with round the clock checks will be required for your foal. Most medications required will be administered through an IV.
Your veterinarian will discuss all of your treatment options for your foal and help you make the best choice. Immediate, aggressive treatments are required for a foal diagnosed with septicemia. Be sure to administer all medications as prescribed to ensure their maximum effect. If you are unsure of dosing instructions or concerned about any side effects, contact your veterinarian for assistance.
Recovery of Septicemia (Foals) in Horses
Septicemia in foals is fatal if not treated quickly and aggressively. Even then, some foals still do not make it. Speak with your veterinarian about your foal's prognosis and recovery time. By hospitalizing your foal, recovery time may be increased as opposed to keeping your foal housed in your stable with its mother.
Prevention is the best way to avoid septicemia in foals. This means maintaining good hygiene, removing any build up of mud or feces on your mare before and after giving birth. Keeping the new foal clean and out of muddy conditions is also important.
Place the expectant mother in the clean, disinfected birthing stall several weeks prior to delivery. This allows her make antibodies that will fight against any pathogens that are commonly found in a foaling environment. Clean the foaling stall daily, disinfect the walls and flooring prior to adding clean bedding.
Once the foal is born, wash mother and foal with warm water to remove any birthing fluids and bacteria. Ask your veterinarian about a solution that can be put on the foal's umbilical cord to help keep bacteria at bay.

Overhead bin was full -- no problem. A30 fits under the seat in JetBlue "even more space" section.
On our way home from Universal Orlando and Harry Potter fun. Everything for three rainy theme park days fit with room to spare.
Adding a packing contents picture -- I ended up replacing the rubber loafers with water-friendly sandals (it POURED rain the whole second day we were in Florida, and those ankle-length jeans were soaked to mid-thigh).
So the A30 held: jeans, 2 prs sandals, merino cardigan, three sets tshirts/socks/underthings, day bag w/emergency supplies cubelet, 3-1-1 bag w/all toiletries, and travel tray packed with in-flight supplies (headphones, tissues, hand wipes, charging cables). On the way home, there was space to add souvenirs and some of my sister's stuff that she didn't have room for. Also: laptop in the backpack strap pocket.
Wish I brought more wool socks and my small zip top shop bag to replace my day bag after it got soaked.
Edited to add: also not pictured: snacks.

I love that my family tolerates my TB addiction. Here's our luggage for 4 people going to Florida for 6 days. On the way out, we had no checked-in luggage. I attached a dry bag to my Smart Alec to hold a medium Yeoman Duffel. On the return trip, the YD was filled with gifts that needed to be checked.
I also took a large zip-top shop bag. It was packed flat in my SA on the way, used during the trip for holding gifts/doing laundry, and carried my DLBC when I moved the shoulder strap to the YD on the return.
My S25 in black halcyon made the trip from Orlando to Palm Springs, California this Christmas (via Dallas). Even stuffed, it fit nicely under the seat on American, and it was very comfortable to wear while schlepping between gates.
We ran into massive problems getting home when thunderstorms shut DFW down on the day after Christmas, so it took two days to get home: Palm Springs to Abilene to Dallas on Wednesday on the 26th, then finally Dallas to Chicago to Orlando on Friday on the 28th. With all the chaos at DFW last week (our bags arrived in Orlando a day earlier than we did!), I was happy that my supremely organized and comfy S25 was there for me.
While cooling our heels during a two-hour layover at Chicago O'Hare, I saw (but wasn't quick enough to photograph) two other TB bags in Terminal 3: a TB Buzz in line at Starbucks, and a Smart Alec in the food court. I was very excited :)

Why Choose Us?
Every year hundreds of people are injured and many killed from incidents involving portable appliances.
Business owners and employees responsible For the health & safety please take note:
Even one electrical fault can leave Your company insurance void.
Please Read This Important Notice Regarding PAT Testing Your Electrical Devices...
Issued: Wednesday, 31st March 2010
Dear Business Owner (& those responsible for the health & safety),
The information contained in this letter is important to your business. Please take 3 or 4 minutes to read this carefully.
Just imagine for a second how you would feel if your staff or customer were electrocuted because of even one piece of faulty equipment or, unknown to you, a loose wire.
Sadly, incidents involving electrical equipment are more common than you think.
For example, last year the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) published figures stating that there were 24,992 fires, 998 electrical Shocks and worst, 30 deaths caused from electrical equipment.
What are the legal consequences of such an accident?
You could be taken to court and you and your business fined potentially thousands of pounds. Many real examples exist on the HSE website. One such case describes an employee being electrocuted and the business owner taken to court and fined £4,997.48.
You can read the account on www.hse.gov.uk (type in case no: F06000229).
You can-and should-protect yourself and your business from electrical misaps, Possible prosecution and fine by having Your devices pat tested. It is low cost, and protects you 100%
Without getting into fine legislation here, let me inform you that the Health & Safety Act 1974 will hold you responsible in the event of an accident.
Further, the electricity at work Regulations 1989 States that your electrical items should be maintained so they are safe.
The trouble is, we all assume electrical devices are safe until they go wrong, or until an electrical shock is experienced.
It is natural to act this way. But it's dangerous. And when staff and members of the public are involved, it is potentially very costly (apart from the health or life risk to the person involved).
PAT testing is now available to your company: It 100% protects you, your staff, clients and your business
The Health and Safety executive suggest you regularly visually inspect and carry out electrical tests on all your electrical items. This includes items like kettles, computers, extension leads, fans, your fax machine, and any other devices with a plug.
The PAT test (portable appliance testing) now enables you to have every device professionally tested and certified at low cost. PAT testing by a reputable company is accepted by insurance companies as legal cover. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) accept PAT testing as proof of compliance with Electricity at work Regulations.
Importantly. PAT tested devices are even accepted in the unlikely event of an accident after the inspection and testing.
Your insurance and policy will have words to this effect:
"You must comply with all relevant legislation for your policy to remain valid." What dose this mean to you? If you had a fire caused by a faulty electrical item you run the risk of the fire damage not being covered by your insurance policy."

There is religion and then there is faith
Perhaps like the artist has canvas and paint, but they still need creativity.
Because, give it some thought and the parallel you'll see,
That a canvas has its limits and paints can dry up and go bad.
Both materials are not perfect and they each at some point run out,
Yet creativity is the heart of the matter, is it not?
And it is creativity that art is based upon.
So when you think of religion, realize it has its limits,
For it is composed of people and people are imperfect,
But that does not mean it is faith or that faith is not real.
The heart of the matter, the root of it all,
Is that as humans we're also spirit,
And are made to have faith in something, not nothing at all.
The desire and need is perfect, to have faith in something unseen,
Even if the materials like religion can go bad and let us down,
Faith is there and produces beautiful things,
Just as creativity results in beautiful things we see.

News Analysis
ROME – In Catholic circles high and low, a widely reported potential deal between the Vatican and China over the appointment of bishops is stirring varied reactions. While some hail the accord as a critically important way for the Church to deepen ties with a global superpower, others see it as capitulation in the face of a hostile atheist regime.
When my Crux colleague Chris White and I recently spoke in the University Series in Whittier, California – ironically enough, the onetime home of U.S. President Richard Nixon, whose historic opening to China was perhaps his signature foreign policy accomplishment – one gentleman in the audience became especially incensed, repeatedly insisting that, "You don't make a deal with the Devil!"
Whether he knew it or not, he was echoing Chinese human rights activist Chen Guangcheng, who's described the proposed agreement precisely as a "deal with the Devil," saying, "This will be a shame in Catholic history that can never be washed away." Retired Cardinal Joseph Zen has spoken in similarly harsh terms, insisting that "no deal is better than a bad deal."
RELATED: Cardinal Zen: Vatican-China proposal weakens the Church
To hear some leading Chinese Catholics tell it during a major Rome conference this week, however, the Chinese government is hardly the Devil, and the Church is gradually winning a place of respect in an evolving Chinese society.
The discussion unfolded during a two-day conference titled "Christianity in the Chinese Society: Impact, Interaction and Inculturation," staged at Rome's Jesuit-run Gregorian University. In some ways, the mere fact of the gathering was more important than any particular points made along the way, since not so long ago obtaining permission for senior Christian leaders to participate might have seemed implausible.
Instead, the lineup at the Gregorian seemed to suggest that a gradual thaw in Rome/Beijing relations is gathering force under Pope Francis, and few seemed anxious to slow things down.
At one stage, for instance, Bishop John Baptist Yang Xiaoting, who serves as the coadjutor bishop of Yan'an, and who was ordained in 2010 with both government and Vatican approval, seemed almost dismissive of fellow priests who request political asylum in foreign countries on the basis of claims of religious persecution.
"When I came to study in Italy in 1993, people asked me, do you belong to the underground church or the open church? Are you a real priest, or not a real priest? If you're real, how can you come out of China? They thought if you were a real priest, you couldn't leave China because of the registration system," said Xiaoting, who studied at Rome's Urbaniana University, which serves seminarians from mission countries around the world.
"I would tell them, 'I belong to the Church from St. Peter,'" Xiaoting said.
"When I was in the States, I encountered many cases in which priests wanted to stay, to get a green card, and so they would seek the status of political asylum," the 54-year-old prelate said. "If I had wanted to stay, I could have sought political asylum and claimed persecution."
"But I love my country and I love my Church, and I want to serve my Church and my country," Xiaoting said, adding: "What we hear outside China, and the situation inside, are often two very different things."
At another point, Xiaoting largely brushed off a question about whether the government attempts to control education in Church-run seminaries.
"We have not felt that there has been coercion by the government to impose a curriculum upon us," Xiaoting said. "We felt we need to know more about the policies of the government, so we can defend our rights and create more space for the Church to develop, to sustain itself and also to expand in our society."
Speaking during a panel session Friday morning, Xiaoting added that Beijing "is promoting a very precise plan to help the poor, which poses no contradiction at all with our teaching and also our practice," and that Chinese President Xi Jinping "promotes the concept of a common human destiny, which is similar to our concepts, emphasizing the common good and the welfare of all."
Far from an implacable enemy of the faith, in other words, the Chinese government as presented by Xiaoting seemed an essentially neutral, even benevolent, arbiter of social life vis-à-vis the country's various religious bodies.
His line echoed that of Cardinal John Tong Hon, the former bishop of Hong Kong, who in an interview with Crux's Claire Giangravé on Thursday said, "If you have a really far-sighted vision of China, I think that you will find that China is more open, civilized and close to the outside world."
RELATED: Chinese Cardinal 'optimistic' about Vatican deal, calls opposition 'unreasonable'
The bulk of Xiaoting's presentation was devoted to arguing that the Catholic Church in China is winning hearts and minds through an expanding array of social services, which represent an important form of "adaptation," he suggested, using a government-approved word for religions that accept the need to be good Chinese citizens.
"Catholic service in modern Chinese socieity is one of the ways for the Church to develop along the Chinese direction," he said. "The Church can maintain the basis of the doctrine of the faith, and also integrate into China's fine traditional culture."
Xiaoting ticked off 2013 data showing that the Church in China now runs a network of nine orphanages, seven homes for mentally handicapped children, 52 homes for the elderly, 136 clinics, eight hospitals, 43 kindergartens, two cultural schools, one vocational school, and 173 primary schools.
Moreover, he said, 11 dioceses offer programs for HIV/AIDS care, and 21 do the same for leprosy patients. The Church sponsors 40 water projects across the country, he said, involving more than 50 wells, and contributes roughly $12 million annually to scholarships for needy students and another $5 million in aid to various disadvantaged groups.
"These good deeds have witnessed the faith and glorified God," Xiaoting said, "and are prized by the society."
"The Church has a practical agenda, encouraging its faithful to practice in the light of their own faith, their historical traditions and their high social credibility," the prelate said.
Xiaoting even extolled a new law in China governing the operation of religious charities, adopted in 2016, which has been described by critics as a means of extending government control.
"It's an effort to actively support and earnestly implement the basic policy of national religious work," he said.
To be sure, not everyone at the Gregorian summit was quite so sanguine about the intentions of the government.
Swedish academic Fredrick Fällman of the University of Gothenburg, for instance, warned that the government's insistence on "adaptation" is not reciprocal process, because the state has no real intention of "adapting" to foreign understandings of concepts such as religious freedom.
"The government perspective is not that it works both ways, that's perfectly clear," he said. "It's not a two-sided adaptation, and you can buy the books [laying that out] in any bookstore in Beijing."
Government calls for religions to "sinicize" their faiths, meaning to integrate religious doctrines into Chinese culture, Fällman said, which translates in practice into recognizing religious freedom, but often not freedom of religious practice.
Fällman also expressed skepticism that growing numbers of Christians in China will result in significant social changes.
"Elites do have an impact, but as long as there's Community Party rule, it's hard to imagine a great impact even if [Christianity] grows much bigger," he said.
Chinese scholar Shi Jian of Sichuan University in Chengdu ticked off several reasons the government still exercises vigilance over religious bodies.
- Fear that religious groups are controlled by "foreign forces."
- Concern that the emergence of a "dominant religion" would destroy the country's "religious ecology."
- Anxiety over a "large number of cults operating in the form of religious belief."
"Christianity has been in China for over 1000 years, but it's not well integrated into the Chinese context," Jian said. "The government and the public are worried that it's being manipulated by foreign powers to threaten China's national security … This voice is still quite strong there, in the government."
Still, Xiaoting seemed optimistic in his long-term assessment of the Church's prospects.
"The Church, in adapting to modern society and living in contemporary times, can be a carrier of human, spiritual and cultural values," he said. "When the Church serves the modern Chinese society, her presence will become an evident product of a pluralistic and more international society."

Striker Florin Andone described Brighton & Hove Albion's victory over arch rivals Crystal Palace the 'perfect day' on Tuesday.
The Romanian international came off the bench to replaced the injured Glenn Murray after 35 minutes and he made it 3-0 late in the first half with an outstanding solo goal.
Andone won possession on the left touchline, skipped past James Tomkins and even when it appeared Tomkins had got back to clear Andone nipped in to score past Wayne Hennessey.
Albion played with ten men for more than an hour after Shane Duffy was sent off for violent conduct shortly after Murray had put Brighton ahead from a disputed penalty.
Leon Balogun made it 2-0 moments after Duffy's dismissal, before Andone's goal sent the Amex crowd wild in the final seconds of the first half. Palace got a late goal back through Luka Milivojevic's penalty but Andone – who had netted the winner on his first Albion start at Huddersfield on Saturday – was delighted with the performance and all three points.
He said: "The most important thing is the victory. It was very hard with one man less but I think we deserved the victory.
"We played very well and were very strong. We worked very hard and I'm happy for the team and for everybody because we deserved the victory."
Andone's wonder solo goal was one of the main talking points after the game among Albion supporters.
He said: "Maybe I surprised the defender with my speed slightly because he didn't know too much about me and I'm new in this division.
"I haven't played too much, and it's one of my biggest attributes – the last touch I didn't have much space, but I managed to get some space and get a shot away."
On the importance of his goal just before half-time, Andone said: "My goal was very important given how close it was to half-time, it was a bit of a surprise, but it was unbelievable to go in at the break three goals up in those circumstances.
"At 3-0 at half-time, you need to keep the result and to be careful but you need the second half to be horrible to lose the game.
"We played very well and we kept the result.
"It was a perfect day, it's very important for us this victory. The most important thing is to be far away from the bottom three positions and now we think about the next game.
"I'm very happy for the team but this is the past and the game is finished. Now we need to think about the next game and Burnley will be very hard but we need to fight and maybe we can win."
Andone had a frustrating start to his Albion career owing to injury. The summer signing from Deportivo only made his debut last month but he said: "It was hard for me at the start – I didn't play for four months, but that's in the past now and for me it's about the future.
"My first two games have been very good, and I love to be back out on the pitch – it's an unbelievable feeling."
Looking ahead to the rest of the season, Andone said: "It's always normal to look up when you're in good form but we have to be careful and work day by day.
"We have to be realistic and humble – we have to continue working hard every day.
"I'm happy for this side because we're a very good team who work hard to keep our shape – there's a good spirit here and I'm very happy for this victory, for the six points in four days.
"We can always improve, and I think the future will be even better – this is our ambition."

Suspended sediment in forested streams, Water quality in Blackfoot Basin in Montana
University of Montana
This thesis assesses efforts to reduce sediment impacts in Cottonwood Creek, a tributary to the Blackfoot River in western Montana. The first objective evaluated trade-offs in stream crossing improvements regarding short-term sediment impacts versus long-term reductions in sediment load from road surface erosion and possible culvert failures. Suspended sediment and turbidity measurements were taken during spring snowmelt the year before and after a culvert replacement by a bridge, and during the replacement activity. The two study years were typical snowmelt years; i.e., 2- and 4-year return intervals, based on a ten-year USGS period of record. Culvert fill and road surface erosion measurements were also taken. Likely sediment load from upgrading a culvert was compared to that of not upgrading a culvert. Upgrading probably produces less sediment over the long-term than not upgrading. The second objective assessed other stream crossings in high-risk areas in the same watershed to determine culvert failure risk and to estimate how much sediment load could be produced from culvert failures and road surface erosion. The annual sediment yield from culverts predicted to fail within 20 years and from estimated road surface erosion modeled over ten years was much lower compared with the literature, even for undisturbed forests. Two hypothetical scenarios were compared—in one, culverts that were expected to fail were replaced with bridges; in the other, they were not replaced and did fail. Replacing the culverts with bridges resulted in a six percent increase in sediment load to Cottonwood Creek, but this amount of difference is likely within the error range of these estimates. Hence there seems to be little long term benefit in replacing the culverts. The third objective critiqued the TMDL/Water Quality Improvement Plan for the Middle Blackfoot/Nevada Creek basins. While the TMDL involved considerable detail on sediment sources, quantities, and proposed reductions in loads, the implementation and monitoring features were weak. Based on examining sediment reduction efforts in these three ways, this thesis concluded that stream crossing improvements, such as replacing culverts with bridges, are likely to reduce watershed sediment loading over the long-term despite short-term disturbances by these efforts.
