The Stats Go Marching In
Reaching Back for a Little Extra, Part Two
In my previous installment, I explored pitch speeds in several situations and discovered that pitchers can add some gas to their offerings in certain spots. Both here at Baseball Prospectus and at The Book Blog, readers made insightful comments on the subject, suggesting possible biases and ways to expand on the analysis.
This time, I'll go over some of those points.
Starters and relievers
Last time we saw that pitchers go full speed in two-strike counts, while being more careful when behind in the count (and also on the first pitch of the at-bat.) The split analysis shows the same results. Starters and relievers follow a very similar pattern, but the former are able to increase their speed more.
That's what we were talking about just before the table. Relievers are always throwing close to 100 percent, so they don't have much of a margin for dialing up their velocity; conversely, starters who pace themselves throughout the game have more room to maneuver.
If more confirmation is needed, look at the 1-0, 2-0 and 3-0 counts. The decreases are higher for relievers, since they are the pitchers who have more room on the opposite side of the speed spectrum. (I suppose you can't hold back too much on 1-0 and 2-0 counts, or a tentative fastball can become a fat pitch.)
For completeness, below is the comparison by base/out situation. Once more, the pattern is quite similar for the two groups, but the magnitude is higher for starters.
One more thing on the starters/relievers issue. One reader pointed to a possible source of bias that could be leading to the results in the table above.
Suppose a pitcher comes back out for one more inning, but it becomes apparent that he doesn't have it anymore. He has suddenly lost some speed and, as a result, he can't retire any opponents. He is removed before getting anyone out in the inning. Conversely, if the starter still "has it," he will stay in the game and put batters away.
This situation could artificially lead to the observed effect of pitchers throwing harder as they put opponents away. My gut feeling (yes, we statheads have gut feelings too!) was that the effect of this would be minimal. However, I repeated the analysis of part one anyway, including only completed innings (that is, innings where no pitching change occurred). The results were unchanged.
Flamethrowers and control artists
I limited the analysis to half the starters in the 2010-11 PITCHf/x database. I labeled the fastest 25 percent of pitchers as the flamethrowers (the cut-off was around 93 mph of average fastball speed) and the slowest 25 percent as the soft tossers (the line here was around 89 mph.) The middle half was discarded from this analysis.
Below are the usual two tables, by count and by base/out situation.
The differences are quite small across the board, but nearly all of them are in the same direction—higher for hard-throwing pitchers.
It seems that flamethrowers can work (or need to work) on a larger speed spectrum. I'm going to use Justin Verlander's words (from David Laurila's interview at FanGraphs) to address this issue:
Batters' discipline
I decided to explore the matter again in three different ways.
First, as I did a few weeks ago for batters' production, I compared the speed pitchers used against a certain hitter with his proclivity for swinging at pitches outside the strike zone. While a mild correlation existed between run production and speed of pitches seen, none emerged between tendency to chase and pitch velocity.
Then I inserted the discipline variable (the percentage of swings outside the zone) into the regression model. Again, it did not come out as having an effect on pitch speed.
Finally, I repeated what I did above for hard versus soft tossers. Running split models on the 25 percent most-disciplined hitters and on the 25 percent least-disciplined hitters, I did not find any difference worth mentioning.
So, while the difference by count seem to indicate that pitchers in some instances might be willing to sacrifice control in favor of velocity, they do not seem to alter their behavior according to the opponent's discipline (or lack of it.)
However, percentage of swings outside the zone might not be the best choice for looking at this issue.
In fact, as I have investigated in a few trivial articles in the past (see the Yogi Berra's award series at The Hardball Times), there are hitters who can do some damage even on pitches way out of the zone. Thus one would probably want to control by production on bad pitches rather than tendency to swing at them.
Exchanging speed for control
Sportvision has COMMANDf/x data going back to 2010 at least, but they have not released it for public use. Measuring intended location is not a perfect science, though I think teams could conduct experimental studies in bullpen sessions if they had PITCHf/x cameras installed in the pen. Using the target set by the catcher's mitt as the indicator for intended location (as COMMANDf/x does) is far from perfect, but judging by the brief analyses I conducted on those data for the 2011 PITCHf/x Summit, I think it can be a reasonable proxy.
Thus, my take is that with COMMANDf/x data, a first rough measure of the tradeoff between speed and control can be calculated. Maybe Mike Fast already working on it.

This is a good sabermetric piece that simply makes it hard to comment on. I would hope that Max and his supporters see that the lack of comments doesn't signify anything other than that.

I am making an open world 3d platformer in Ogre3D, and I have no idea on what kind of 3d map file format I should use for it.
I want to make low-polygon blocky-style objects. Probably rectangles and other geometrical figures that don't have circular edges. Some of those blocks will have properties, like climbable or they might move.
I was wondering what would be the best thing to do to make the map (just one level, as it is open).

2016 will not be the year for a woman to break the tallest glass ceiling in American politics, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said in a conversation with syndicated columnist Cal Thomas last week.
When asked whether Americans are ready to elect a woman to the highest public office held in the nation, Bachman told Thomas: "I don't think there is a pent-up desire."
Bachmann credited Obama's victory among white voters to the "guilt" white Americans felt when faced with the possibility of electing a black man to office. But she said that same "guilt" will not apply if men are faced with the option to vote for a female candidate in 2016.
"I think there was a cachet about having an African-American president because of guilt," she said. "People don't hold guilt for a woman."
Bachmann went on to call a vote for Clinton a vote for a third term with Obama, identifying her as the mastermind behind Obamacare and the U.S. official who holds the most blame for the 2012 Benghazi attack that left the U.S. ambassador to Libya, another diplomat, and two security personnel dead. Clinton was serving as Secretary of State at the time of the attack.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee (SIC), has regularly contradicted Bachmann's opinion that Clinton is responsible for the deaths that occurred in those attacks. Last month, after the publication of an SIC review of the Benghazi incident, Feinstein released a statement discrediting Republicans who inflated Clinton's role in the attacks.
"Statements on the Senate floor this morning and some media reports about the Senate Intelligence Committee's bipartisan report on the attack against our diplomatic mission and CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, intimate that the report assigns culpability to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the tragedy," Feinstein said. "This is patently false. The report approved on a bipartisan basis says no such thing."
Bachmann, who plans to leave the House in 2014 without seeking reelection, ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. She dropped out of the race following an unexpectedly poor performance in the Iowa caucuses.
Even if Bachmann thinks America isn't ready for a female president, a Rasmussen poll released last month found that 77% of Americans expect to elect a woman to the oval office in the next decade. And with Hillary Clinton as the current frontrunner for the Democratic ticket, there is a good chance it could be her.
But Bachmann holds strong in her belief that whether it's her gender or Benghazi, one of those factors is likely to bring Clinton down in 2016.
After saying that the United States just "isn't ready" for a woman in the oval office, Bachmann went on to once again pin responsibility to Clinton for the deaths in Benghazi.
"Two things that need to be done: Remind people [Clinton] is seeking to become commander in chief [and] how she has operated in the past with these types of responsibilities," she said. "She was in charge during the Benghazi debacle. If a person reads the Senate Intelligence [Committee] report and the House Foreign Affairs [Committee] report released last week, it is damning for Hillary Clinton."

Some cancer treatments may cause your eyelashes and eyebrows to become thinner or fall out completely.
Losing your eyebrows and eyelashes can change your appearance, and this can be upsetting. But remember that eyebrows and eyelashes usually grow back.
The amount of hair that falls out depends on the type or combination of drugs used, the dose, and how the drugs affect you personally.
You may find that you lose your eyelashes and eyebrows later than the hair on your head - perhaps after treatment has ended. Or it can happen more gradually during treatment.
You can learn to create new eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil if you want to, or use false eyelashes.
Boots Macmillan Beauty Advisors can help you with the techniques described below. You can also watch videos from Boots UK containing tips for how to manage some of the visible side effects of cancer treatment.

Dionne Warwick to headline University Hospital's 'The Premiere'
The Premiere, on Feb. 9, will be largest fundraiser in the University of Colorado Hospital Foundation's history and five-time Grammy winner Dionne Warwick is expected to wow the crowd with a concert featuring songs from her latest album.
Sharon Magness Blake and her husband, Ernie Blake, are chairing the event with Claudia and Bob Beauprez. Pete Coors and Steve Bangert are heading the corporate committee.
Their goal is to raise $1 million for an expanded emergency department and a new 12-story inpatient tower.
The project will double the current size of the emergency department and add additional operating rooms and 276 beds in the 714,000-square-foot tower. The emergency department currently treats 70,000 patients per year in a space designed for 35,000 patient visits.
"This shows the need we have to expand," says Dr. Richard Zane, chairman of the newly formed Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. "Our goal is to provide seamless, patient-centered, state-of-the-art emergency care 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in an environment conducive to healing and commensurate with the incredibly high standards set across the entire institution."
Plans for the Old Hollywood-themed event were announced at a cocktail reception held at Palazzo Verdi in Greenwood Village. It turned out to be one of the most successful kickoff parties ever, with 47 tables sold and financial commitments of $656,000.
Sharon Magness Blake predicted that all 1,000 tickets will be sold well in advance, and she was right. Very few remain. Prices start at $300 per ticket and top out at the $100,000 Premiere Sponsor level. Phone inquiries can be made at 720-848-7772.
The Premiere begins with cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and "mystery box" sales at 6 p.m., dinner and the show is at 7:30 in a festively decorated tent set up outside the emergency department. The mystery boxes will be filled with sports memorabilia and experiences, and adornments from Trice Jewelers. The evening's live auction will be a piece of jewelry designed for the occasion by Trice.
Warwick, who is celebrating her 50th anniversary in the music business, has sold some 200 million records worldwide. Her newest album, "Now," includes some of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David songs that have become her signature.
Working with the event chairs is a dinner committee made up of such prominent Denverites as Christian Anschutz and his aunt, Sue Anschutz-Rodgers; former Denver Bronco Brian Griese and his wife, Brook; Colorado Rockies co-owner Dick Monfort; former Colorado first lady Frances Owens; retired financier Walt Imhoff; and philanthropists Fred and Jane Hamilton.
Gov. John Hickenlooper, Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan and Denver Mayor Michael Hancock are among those serving as honorary chairmen.

In Reply to: Nursery Rhymes posted by Cybill Freud on March 20, 2001
: : Is it true that:
: : Little Red Riding Hood is about a girl who goes through puberty and then loses her virginity?>>>
: According to Bruno Bettelheim it is, but of course fairy tales are meant to be viewed subjectively, each tale having special meaning to the individual. According to Bettelheim in his book "The Uses of Enchantment":
: "Red is the color symbolizing violent emotions, very much including sexual ones. The red velvet cap given by Grandmother to Little Red Cap thus can be viewed as a symbol of a premature transfer of sexual attractiveness...Little Red Cap's danger is her budding sexuality, for which she is not yet emotionally mature enough...premature sexuality is a regressive experience, arousing all that is primitive in us and threatens to swallow us up."
: : Ring around the roses, pocketfull of posies, atishoo, atishoo, we all fall down is about the bubonic plague in mediaeval Europe?>>>
: According to www.snopes.com, it's not. See http://www.snopes2.com/spoons/fracture/rosie.htm
: : Rock a By Baby on the Tree Top is about a serial killer?>>>
: I've never heard of that, sorry.
: : Jack and Jill is about a boy and girl who are having sex and they fall down a hill thinking they were on a bed?>>>
: Never heard of that, either. Honestly, where do you get these ideas? ;)
: : London Bridge is Falling Down is really about the London Bridge actually falling and sinking?>>>
: It could be. See http://www.moon.com/road_trip/callouts/london_bridge.html
Ms. Freud, FYI, the rhyme you haven't heard of goes like this (roughly; I'm relying on memory):
Rock-a-bye, baby, in the tree top,
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.
A member of my family once said, when in an unusually intuitive (altered) state of consciousness, that the deeper message in "Little Red Riding Hood" concerns an incest fantasy. But I've never been able to match up the elements in the story with the structure of incest fantasies so as quite to understand that. Some other tales of Grimm's are more transparent.

Ultimate Factories: Jack Daniels DVD-R
This item ships to the USA.
Smooth, strong, and utterly unique, the legendary amber liquor known as Jack Daniels is one of the world's best selling whiskies. And every single bottle is made in just one place -- tiny Lynchburg, Tennessee. National Geographic goes inside the factory where tradition and technology intersect to make 150 million bottles of Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 each year. The factory holds enough whiskey to fill 3 million bottles at any given time, fermented with yeast that descends from the same used in the original batch 140 years ago.
See some of the secrets to Jack's unique flavor at the Brown-Forman Cooperage in Louisville, where the barrels for aging are lit on fire to bring flavors out of the wood, and see how burnt sugar maple wood is ground up to make the unique charcoal filter that distinguishes Jack before it is bottled and shipped to more than 130 countries.

Special Case
SOMALIA (Special Case)
Somalia remains a Special Case for a tenth consecutive year due to the lack of a viable central government. Control of its geographic area is divided among the self-declared independent Republic of Somaliland and the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, with the remainder of the country nominally under the control of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG). Somalia currently lacks a national governing structure that could assume responsibility for addressing the country's human trafficking problem. During the reporting period, fighting continued between TFG troops, allied militias, and African Union forces against anti-TFG forces and the terrorist group al-Shabaab. The TFG remained preoccupied with the task of securing government representatives and installations from attacks by such elements and completing key tasks required for a transition to a representative government by the August 20, 2012 deadline. The government was, therefore, not able to address human trafficking in any organized manner. In addition, the TFG currently lacks the necessary means to identify, investigate, and address systemic issues in Somalia, including those related to forced labor and forced prostitution. Its capacity to address human trafficking will not significantly increase without tangible progress in re-establishing governance and stability in Somalia.
Scope and Magnitude: Information regarding trafficking in Somalia remains extremely difficult to obtain or verify; however, the Somali territory is believed to be a source and transit country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. As in previous years, trafficking victims were primarily trafficked within the country from Somalia's south and central regions to the Puntland and Somaliland regions in the north. Somali women and girls may be subjected to sex trafficking in Garowe, Las Anod (Sool region), and pirate towns such as Eyl and Harardheere. Girls are reportedly taken from coastal regions, particularly Bossaso, Puntland and placed in pirates' homes to be exploited in domestic and sexual servitude. Trafficking offenders reportedly used drugs to render victims unconscious during transport. In Somali society, certain groups are traditionally viewed as inferior and are marginalized, hence Somali Bantus and Midgaan are sometimes kept in servitude by more powerful Somali clan members as domestic workers, farm laborers, and herders. Due to an inability to provide care for all family members, some Somalis willingly surrender custody of their children to people with whom they share family relations and clan linkages; some of these children may become victims of forced labor or sex trafficking. While most child laborers work within their households or family businesses, some children may be forced into labor in agriculture, herding livestock, or in the construction industry.
Human smuggling is widespread in Somalia, and evidence suggests that smugglers use the same networks and methods as those used by trafficking offenders. Men, women, and children in internally displaced persons (IDP) camps or congregated along coastal areas hoping to be smuggled to nearby African countries, Europe, or the Middle East remained particularly vulnerable to trafficking. There were reports of trafficking offenders preying on young women and children, mostly IDPs from south and central Somalia, at marketplaces and in the streets, falsely promising them lucrative jobs outside Somalia. Dubious employment agencies facilitate human trafficking, targeting individuals desiring to migrate to the Gulf states for employment. Somali women are smuggled, sometimes via Djibouti, to destinations in the Middle East, including Yemen and Syria, as well as to Sudan, Kenya, and South Africa where they are subjected to conditions of domestic servitude and forced prostitution. Somali men are subjected to conditions of forced labor as herdsmen and menial workers in the Gulf states. Somali children are reportedly smuggled to Saudi Arabia through Yemen and then placed into forced begging. Members of the Somali diaspora use fake offers of marriage to lure unsuspecting victims, many of whom are relatives, to Europe or the United States, where they are forced into prostitution and domestic servitude. Ethiopian women are smuggled through Somalia to Yemen and onward to other destinations in the Middle East where they are subsequently forced into domestic servitude and prostitution.
According to the UN, the recruitment and use of children in Somalia's armed conflict has been increasing over the past years, particularly among al-Shabaab, which is estimated to have abducted as many as 2,000 children for military training in 2010 alone (the last year in which reporting is available). UN sources documented 46 incidents of unlawful recruitment and use of child soldiers by the TFG and its allied militia in July and August 2011, and observers recorded that the number of children wearing TFG uniforms in Mogadishu increased during the reporting period; this is believed to be due largely to a lack of systematic and stringent age screening procedures. During the reporting period, the TFG publicly reiterated its policy of not recruiting children into the Somali National Security Forces. New recruits for TFG forces were screened for child soldiers (including a medical screening) before inclusion in Uganda-based training programs. Children were included in Somalia's numerous clan and other militias and, without established birth registration systems, it remained difficult to determine the exact age of persons conscripted into armed groups.
During the reporting period, the terrorist group al-Shabaab used systematic force and deception to target vulnerable children, sometimes as young as eight years old, for membership in their militias. Al-Shabaab reportedly increased recruitment at Koranic and general schools and other educational facilities and threatened to punish teachers and parents who refused to send their children to the training camps. Al-Shabaab continued to use children for direct participation in hostilities and other support functions in southern and central Somalia, including for planting roadside bombs and other explosive devices, carrying out assassinations, portering, domestic servitude, and serving as human shields during incursions. The UN reported al-Shabaab's recruitment of over 180 boys and girls in Lower Juba in May and June 2011 and another 168 boys in July and August. Al-Shabaab also continued to forcibly recruit young girls who were then "married" to its militia leaders and used for sexual servitude, logistical support, and intelligence gathering.
Government Efforts: The respective authorities operating in Somalia's three regions made few concrete efforts to address human trafficking during the reporting period; anti-trafficking efforts were weak on all fronts – prosecution, protection, and prevention – in all regions of Somalia. There is a severe lack of capacity in every part of the country to adequately address the problem. Understanding of human trafficking and how to identify and address it remained low among government officials and the general population. None of the three regions have laws that specifically prohibit human trafficking, although the pre-1991 penal code outlawed forced and compulsory labor, and local laws prohibited forced labor, involuntary servitude, and slavery in Somaliland. In December 2010, the Puntland Parliament enacted provisions under Islamic law prohibiting the death of smuggled or trafficked persons and prescribing punishments of between one and five years' imprisonment. In April 2012, Puntland courts sentenced a Somali man to 12 years' imprisonment for attempting to traffic nine children between the ages of seven and 14 from southern Somalia to Yemen, via Puntland, for forced labor. The court transferred custody of the children to a local UNICEF-funded NGO until their parents could be identified. In 2012, Puntland's anti-trafficking unit intercepted five children in Galkacyo who they identified as potential trafficking victims. There were no known investigations or prosecutions of suspected trafficking crimes in Somaliland or TFG-controlled areas during the reporting period. No governments provided protective services to victims of trafficking, although IOM and local organizations provided rented houses and reintegration services to rescued trafficking victims in Puntland and Somaliland. These facilities were dedicated to trafficking victims and accessible to male and female Somali and foreign victims. These organizations also placed child victims with families for care. During the reporting period, IOM and its local partners provided medical and psychological assistance, food, clothes, vocational training, and seed money for establishing small businesses to 27 victims of trafficking – five in Puntland and 22 in Somaliland. IOM reported that clan elders referred a total of 68 suspected trafficking victims in Somaliland and Puntland to its attention, including five in Puntland, 62 in Somaliland, and one in Kenya. Neither the governments of Puntland, TFG, nor Somaliland provided financial or in-kind assistance to these organizations. During the reporting period, Somaliland immigration officials, the Crime Investigation Department within the police, and social services providers began using an IOM-developed screening checklist to refer potential trafficking cases to IOM. Officials from Puntland and Somaliland governments also formalized a referral process to guide officials in transferring trafficking victims detained, arrested, or placed in protective custody to NGOs that provided care. In July 2011, TFG forces arrested and jailed three boys (12, 13, and 14 years of age) for association with military activities. Despite requests made by local elders, the TFG refused to release the boys.
No governments made known efforts to prevent trafficking in persons, neither conducting anti-trafficking information or education campaigns nor making any discernible efforts to reduce the demand for commercial sex acts. IOM facilitated the formation of Counter Trafficking Task Forces (CTTF) in both Puntland and Somaliland, which were comprised of representatives from several ministries. It also provided two months of training for the task force members to develop action plans to combat trafficking; however, due to a lack of project funding and ministry turn-over in both governments, the action plans were not completed during the reporting period. In November 2011, the TFG entered into negotiations to finalize a UN-sponsored action plan to address the recruitment and use of child soldiers. In December, the TFG's Chief of Staff of the National Security Force appointed two child protection points of contact. The TFG agreed to allow third-party monitoring of its training facilities located in Uganda. Somalia is not a party to the 2000 UN TIP Protocol.

I am using the IP address to detect countries, and browser headers to detect language. But when it comes to having the user override these, it would be good interface design to:
- let them select neigbouring countries on top of the list
- let them select languages by clicking on spoken language lists on countries
In order to avoid very long or multiple step (continent, country) dropdowns.
I know you can find ISO lists of countries, currencies, currency symbols en notation, but has this all been put together in some kind of package with an API?

I was recently doing some online browsing on Herbivore and stumbled across this t-shirt:
Which got me thinking about bacon, and how much everyone loves it. I can't say that I ever shared that enthusiasm, which is probably why I've never given much thought to bacon substitution. I have methods, of course, for creating smoky flavors in my food (check out my up in smoke hummus), and I love adding a salty kick to my meals (dulse is my vehicle of choice). But bacon, per se? It's not often that I re-create it, unless I happen to be making tempeh bacon as garnish for this dish or that.
Last week, I had a plump, end-of-summer eggplant sitting around the kitchen. I didn't feel like roasting it, and I didn't even really feel like eating it: for whatever reason, it wasn't inspiring me, in spite of the fact that I really love eggplant. Suddenly, it hit me: I'd try eggplant bacon.
If you're wondering why I say "eggplant bacon" as though it's a commonplace dish, it's because it is a commonplace dish, at least among raw foodists. Most raw eaters have tried some version of eggplant bacon, which is really just marinated and dehydrated eggplant slices, at some point in the raw odyssey. Except, that is, for me. Until a few days ago, I'd never tried making the stuff for myself. Now that I have, I think it's safe to say that things will never be the same again.
Whether you like bacon or not, these slices are sure to brighten your cooking. You can use them in sandwiches, soups, or even as raw "breads," if you don't mind bread that's very salty. You can mince them and throw them into salads, or you can even snack on them as they are: I think they'd make a great option for camping and travel. I like them because they don't demand any fancy prep: simply marinade, dehydrate, and go.
A small NB: eggplant skin contains solanine, a plant poison. It's unlikely that the small amount found in this recipe will cause GI symptoms or other upset, but in any case, I recommend peeling the eggplant first.
Raw Eggplant Bacon (raw, vegan, gluten free)
Makes about 20 thin slices, or sized according to your eggplant
1 large eggplant, peeled and then sliced lengthwise into thin (1/4 inch thick or less) slices
2 tbsp tamari
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
1/2-3/4 tsp smoked paprika (adjust to taste)
Black pepper to taste
Optional add-ins: garlic, tomato sauce, cumin, cayenne pepper, mesquite powder
1) Mix all marinade ingredients (tamari through pepper) together. Submerge eggplant slices well, and let marinade for at least an hour.
2) Place slices in a dehydrator and dehydrate at 115 degrees till totally dry: this should take about 12 hours. For crispier bacon, dehydrate longer.
If you don't have a dehydrator, you can bake these at 350 for about 18 minutes or until golden, occasionally basting them with marinade.
Garlic and cayenne will add a nice kick to these; so will spices of your choosing. Cumin is a common addition to eggplant bacon, though it's a very distinctive taste, and I like these on the simpler side. No matter what, they are sweet and salty slices of raw, vegan heaven:
Thinner cut strips are great when you're trying to visually recreate the look of bacon—I just liked my slices thick!
This recipe is demonstrative of how raw foods can replace the essence of a mainstream dish without really having much to do with the original at all. These slices are as far from meat as can be, but they do manage to convey the salty, smoky, and earthy flavors that people associate with bacon. All without the attendant cruelty, saturated fat, and environmental toll. As with all raw vegan versions of animal food, they aren't a perfect imitation, but I think they're better: an inspired interpretation.
And that, my friends, is what uncooking is all about.
Have you guys ever tried eggplant bacon? Other vegan bacon substitutes you love? Lemme know!

Ceramic filters are useful because it filters out a diversity of contaminants that may be present in drinking water, while keeping the essential minerals needed for good health intact. Around 99.88% of contaminants known to cause sickness or illness are filtered out by ceramic water filters. The line of ceramic water filters from Doulton® stands out from the rest.
According to Tim Evans, Business Development Executive for Doulton® Water Filters:
"The ceramic is actually micro-porous. When you look at it, you see ceramic, but if you were to put it under a microscope, you would see a range of microscopic pores that very small, less than 1 micron in diameter. What that means is that water can pass through, but the contaminants in the water can't."
The ability for water to flow freely, while keeping contaminants at bay is the chief reason why you should invest in Doulton® ceramic water filters. By installing a ceramic filter in your home, you will filter out the chlorine and taste in your drinking water, leaving you with better tasting and a higher quality of water.
Within the ceramic filters is a carbon block filter that is designed specifically to remove any dissolved chemicals from water, such as chlorine, which is generally responsible for taste and odor in tap water. This taste and odor is a common reason why many choose to stay away from their tap water. However, its alternative (bottled water) is not any better.
Doulton® filters are both easy to use and simple to clean. As long as you have water pressure, the ceramic water filter will operate at highly efficient levels. Many filters, such as the Sterasyl Ceramic Filter Candle and the Imperial Sterasyl Ceramic Filter, are reusable which allows you to extend the life of your ceramic filter. Brush off the outer layer of contaminants under running water with a small brush to wash off the filters.
We recently caught up with Doulton® at WQA 2013 in Indianapolis and got to know them in an even better way. Watch the video below for first-hand information along with tips for choosing the right ceramic filter to fit your needs.
After being in business for 180 years, Doulton has plenty of experience in providing quality water filtration. Quality is exactly why choosing Doulton® is a wise choice.

Organized, Efficient Kitchen with Cool and Classic Styling
Modern and traditional find common ground in a quiet setting
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 11
Neutral, quiet, and peaceful were the look and mood Deirdre Duggan Cohen aspired to when designing the kitchen in her family's new home in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. Maybe that's because her everyday life is pretty much the opposite.
The Cohen household is a whirl of activity with twin 12-year-olds, Fiona and Hyatt (both play in a rock band that practices at home, plus they do sports, dance, and other activities), a husband who commutes to Manhattan for his building business, Deirdre's own career as an architectural designer, one large and still-growing Doberman pinscher, Ciara, and, the most recent arrival, a second Doberman puppy, Seamus. (Yes, there's an Irish heritage here.)
Their kitchen had to be organized and efficient—and Deirdre and her husband, Howard, were just the pair to make that happen. Howard's company builds luxury custom homes and Deirdre works with him, overseeing the architectural and finishing details. When the couple were ready to build their own home ("It was a case of the shoemaker needing new shoes," she jokes), Deirdre jumped into her familiar role of choosing windows and doors, floor treatments, tile and stone surfaces, hardware, plumbing fixtures, paint colors, and fabrics and furnishings.
But when it came to finalizing the kitchen, Deirdre needed a sounding board. She found just the partner in Mel Elion, a designer at Bilotta Kitchens in Mamaroneck, New York.
"I've done so many kitchens for other people, but when it came down to doing my own, I was a little bit gun-shy," Deirdre admits. "I needed someone to bounce ideas off of, and Mel was great. I had all the ingredients, but Mel helped me mix the pot." Elion agrees with that assessment and relished working with such an in-the-know client.
Deirdre established the quiet and somewhat modern mood, building on a gray-and-cream palette with polished nickel accents. She then balanced those visually cool tones with textures. "I wanted to create a peaceful and cool feel and then warm that with furnishings," she explains. "The cherry table and chairs in the kitchen, for example, are warm furnishings in a cool setting." The 8x3-foot walnut island with two chunky squared-off legs plays a similar role and acts as an anchor for the spacious room.
Cabinets are painted a stormy gray and walls a shade lighter, reminiscent of a morning fog. Glass-front cabinets have simple horizontal grills rather than multiple mullions, blurring the line between modern and traditional. "Timeless architecture is important to me," Deirdre says.
Elion and Deirdre bumped up the height of toekicks to six inches on the cabinet bases for practical and aesthetic reasons. The higher toekicks lessen damage to cabinet doors, plus the added height is in keeping with the room's proportions. Statuary marble countertops add drama with heavy gray veining. (Some veins spread to four inches wide before tapering down to a trickle.) The veining adds subtle pattern and complements stainless steel appliances.
The kitchen floor plan (one that Deirdre had come to love in her previous home) puts the island in the middle of the spacious room, creating a galley-style work zone on one side and a dining area on the other. The family eats most dinners around the pedestal table set in a window-lined corner with views of the backyard. Chair seats are upholstered in red easy-to-clean ultrasuede for a splash of cozy color that ties in with the nearby family room palette.
The gray travertine floor complements the checkerboard gray-and-cream marble floor in the center hall, which runs along one side of the kitchen. "I was going to have a chocolate-mahogany travertine like I had in my previous house, but Mel suggested the gray because it would be so much easier to keep clean," Deirdre says. "And the gray is somewhat contemporary and a little fresher, which I like."
Deirdre centered a farmhouse-style sink on a wall of windows that overlook the backyard. "I can look outside and watch the butterflies and birds," she says. "I think the kitchen window should always have the best view in the house because that's where so many of us spend the most time."

North Franklin Township police are investigating the disappearance of records from the township building, some of them dating back to 2008.
Township supervising Chairman Alex Migyanko said it appears the records, including planning commission and personnel files, appear to have been stolen earlier this year.
"It's very upsetting," said Migyanko, who announced the investigation at a supervisors' meeting Wednesday.
He said he discovered the problem at a public hearing and asked the township secretary in early August to alert police Sgt. Dean Urbanic.
"Sergeant Urbanic is handling the matter and he will contact the propery authorities during the course of the investigation," an internal memo sent to township supervisors said.
Migyanko said he didn't want "to elaborate on" what is missing from the business office.
He said there is video surveillance of the township parking lot, which could help the investigation.
The initial Aug. 5 memo to supervisors asked them to return any township records they might have and further states 2012 and 2013 records of former solicitor Dennis Makel of Associates in Washington are among those missing. Makel could not be reached Wednesday night.
Migyanko said the 2012 records were in the building during the regular township audit, but they since have disappeared.
"Nobody knows how they got out," he said, adding he doesn't even have a key to the township building.
Migyanko was appointed to the board following the April resignation of former supervising Chairman Jim Huff.

- 4: 1-1/2"- to 2" dia. x 3" branches cut lengthwise for sides of feeder tray
- 2: 1-1/2"- to 2"-dia. x 5" branches cut lengthwise for front of feeder tray
- 4: 1/4"- to 1/2"-dia. x 8-1/2" twigs to hold thatch on roof
Step 2
Cut the sides of the feeder from a 2x4 and the roof, top brace and feeder tray from a 1x6. Attach with 2-1/2-inch rust-resistant screws and exterior glue. Don't attach the roof to the sides—it slides up hanger wire so seeds can be poured into the bin from the top.
Step 3
Rip a 1-1/2- TO 2-1/2-inch branch in half with a jigsaw, miter the ends, then attach to the roof edges with 2-1/2-inch screws. Predrill all screw holes, and don't worry if the cuts are rough and uneven—they're supposed to be. The branches should be more or less flush with the bottom edge of the roof boards.
Step 4
Tape the thatch from brooms to hold it together, then cut it 7-1/2 inches long with a sharp knife. Arrange the thatch on the roof and nail two green twigs to each side to hold it in place. The feeder makes a convenient brace (as shown). Trim ragged edges with scissors after the thatch is nailed down.
Step 5
Drill three screw holes slightly bigger (5/32 inch or more) than the screw size through each side of the acrylic. Attach each piece of acrylic with six pan-head screws, but don't overtighten, or it might crack. Leave a 1/2-inch gap at the bottom for the bird feed to flow out.
Step 6
Screw or nail on half branches around the perimeter of the feeder tray to keep the feed in place. Finally, drill a hole at the center of the roof and the top brace, and slip wire or rope through for the hanger.

Love doesn't matter. Romance doesn't exist.
(Part 6 of 12 in The Future of Sex series)
In the year 2060, sex is a game of extremes. No desire is unexplored and even the unimaginable is possible.
Alexa Mathis, head of the monolithic O Corporation, has found a prodigy she believes will drive her sex empire to rapturous new limits: Chloe Shaw, a common girl with uncanny gifts that make her a powerful escort.
Chloe doesn't believe in love. She believes in ecstasy, and her employer's newest tool to usher "the future of sex": an intelligent network known as The Beam.
And so it is until she meets Andrew … and the whole world changes.
The Future of Sex is a 12-part serial that is being published in installments. As such, episodes are short and sometimes end on cliffhangers.
Book Categories: The Future of Sex.

ATB: Tournament Basketball Begins, an RTC Ends Badly, and the Final Big Monday of the Year…Posted by rtmsf on February 28th, 2012
Tonight's Lede. Championship Fortnight is under way! With three days still left in February, the Big South Tournament tipped off its opening round at two different campus locations to mark the arrival of the best time of the year. Elimination basketball, baby. Most of the nation is still focusing on the last week of the regular season in the power conferences, and the final Big Monday of the 2011-12 season featured one of the country's two NPOY candidates in action, an RTC that went oh-so-badly, and an impressive defensive performance by a team we're having trouble figuring out. Let's jump in…
Your Watercooler Moment. When RTCing Goes Very Wrong. You all know our general set of guidelines when it comes to rushing the court. Make it special. Listen to your gut. Full and complete coverage. Easy enough, right? Well, it goes without saying that you shouldn't be RTCing for any reason until the game is actually over. Delaware State's fans must not have gotten the memo tonight against Morgan State, and it severely cost them. After a tip-dunk by Tahj Tate gave the Hornets a one-point lead very late in the game, players and fans spilled onto the court in jubilation of the apparent victory. The only problem — there were still 1.1 seconds remaining on the game clock. After a significant delay, the officials levied a delay of game technical foul on Delaware State, allowing Morgan State's Aric Brooks to hit two free throws to win the game. It's not very often that MEAC basketball is highlighted on the national stage for something significant — this certainly isn't the PR hit that the league offices were probably hoping for.
Survive and Advance. Big South. The Big South Tournament got under way on Monday night with High Point overtaking Gardner-Webb, 68-58, and VMI (remember when they could score?) outlasting Radford, 55-53. High Point will advance to play the top seed, UNC-Asheville, on Wednesday night, while VMI will take on the #2 seed, Coastal Carolina.

You okay? Alright? Do you want a glass of water? Do you need some air? Here: Why don't you sit down for a moment.
Tweeter Kyle Darbyson (@starbyson, y'all!) suggested earlier that we make the case for The Manager to take home the hardware at the season's end as the league's best bench boss. And as we read it, we're not sure if he was being funny, or if he was completely earnestly looking for us to make the case.
And here's the weird thing: We think we might even be able to make that case.
Let's back up a second, and get something out there before we indulge in this excercise: We're actually not a big fan of this sort of award. Throughout all professional sports, the Coach/Manager of the Year award is generally given to someone who has a team that everyone presumes will kinda suck but that doesn't quite suck all that much. In some ways, it's barely even a reflection on the job that the person has done at all...It's mostly just an attempt to account for the difference between what was expected based on the team's perceived talent and what was delivered.
The answer to that particular bit of arithmetic is almost always assumed to be the non-player personnel who is closest to the game. In fact, you almost always hear this conversation start around two-thirds of the way through the season, with pundits saying: "I tell you what: You look at the job that Lindy Ruff/Eric Wedge/Sam Mitchell/Dave Tippett/Felipe Alou has done with this team, and I think you've gotta give him serious consideration for the Manager of the Year/Jack Adams Trophy."
(Seriously: At some point this February, Darren Dreger is going to look away from the dozen members of the NHL on TSN panel and stare gravely into the camera and say something almost precisely like the statement above, and act as though he doesn't make the same rote argument year after year. And then he'll light up a stogie with a five dollar bill and head out into the Agincourt night, doing donuts in the parking lot while checking his Blackberry. Prick.)
Sorry, we kinda lost track of ourselves there for a second.
If you wanted to take this from that typical point of view, then yeah, we think there is probably a good argument for The Manager to get...(clearing throat)..."serious consideration for the AL Manager of the Year." In the Junior Circuit, the Jays are probably the team with the greatest discrepancy between what was expected of them and what they've actually delivered. However, since the Jays are too far out of contention at this time, it seems unlikely that the Jays' skipper would get much more than a passing thought. Especially not when you have a ready-made triumph over coked-out adversity story that is probably already written for you if Ron Washington gets the nod.
Does the Manager deserve consideration? Well, here's what we can say about him...and believe us when we tell you that we've softened considerably on him the closer he gets to leaving the dugout for good: We think that The Manager has surrounded himself/been surrounded with an excellent staff, and that he deserves credit for empowering Brian Butterfield, Dwayne Murphy, Pappy Walton, Rick Langford and Omar Malave over the past year. We want to see the Jays bring each and every member of the field coaching staff back next year, and we hope that whoever they name as The Manager's successor will not feel the need to shake up the staff to suit his own needs.
Moreover, we're actually kinda impressed with the degree to which The Manager has shown some flexibility on the lineups, and that we haven't found his bullpen management to be over atrocious. (It took him a while to come around on David Purcey, but he got there in his own time.) Plus, seeing The Manager give as good as he got to Kevin Gregg, making the thin-skinned jar-headed closer's eyes well up and throat tighten in the post-game interviews was something of a highlight, and likely necessary to beat the delusion out of his pitcher's overgrown noggin.
So when you add up all of that faint praise, does the sum equal a Manager of the Year trophy? Probably not. Maybe. Really, who cares?

From Nov. 16 until the end of the year, attendants will return to the eight parking lots under the purview of the Chestnut Hill Parking Foundation and will track parked cars, allowing shoppers up to four hours of free parking.
"The lots will be policed more aggressively," said CHPF president John Ingersoll.
The policy shift is to ensure ample parking for customers as the holidays approach. Cars in violation of the new policy will be booted, although Ingersoll said they would give warnings before taking the drastic measure.
"We are trying to get people to understand that lots are for customers, not employees," he said.
While there had been some discussion of also bringing back the stickers once used to monitor parking in the lots, the foundation board decided against it. CHCF will also install cameras in all of the lots to help identify people who are parking illegally in the lots.
The earlier parking lot system that employed attendants and used stickers ended in January of 2009.
The parking foundation oversees eight of the nine parking lots on the hill. The parking lot behind Weaver's Way Co-op is no longer leased to the foundation.

It's those three words every mother dreams of hearing. Well, maybe not in all cases, but this time its pretty exciting. And I'll admit, I am still pretty giddy about this opportunity. Thursday of last week, I was featured on New Day NW (King 5), along with Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, and designer Jonathan Adler. Thank you to Su Ring, Meeghan Black, and Mark Klebeck for your amazing support and interest in what I do!
Thanks for watching everyone! Hopefully next time I am on TV, I will be talking about my new iPhone Portrait book. 🙂

DIVISION: Administration and Finance
DEPARTMENT: Information Technology Services
SUBJECT: Electronic Mail
OBJECTIVE & PURPOSE: To define guidelines on the use of electronic mail and the retention of electronic mail documents.
AUTHORITY: None. This document is published as a supplement to the policy entitled Network Acceptable Use Policy and is for informational purposes only. It does not supersede or modify existing University policies and regulations.
Electronic mail (email) is an efficient and convenient means of communication and Information Technology Services (ITS) supports a number of different packages. However, despite it's convenience, there are a number of aspects of its use that may not be readily apparent. This document outlines these aspects and provides guidelines for dealing with them.
Information Technology Services (ITS) backs up the contents of all email notelogs, mailbooks, and folders (referred to generally as "logs") once daily, usually in the evening. Exact times of these backups vary. These backups remain on file for up to twelve months. Consequently, if you send and log (usually the default) a piece of email during the day, it will be backed up that evening unless you take action to delete it from your log prior to backup. Even then, it will be backed up if all the recipients to whom you have sent the email do not delete it prior to backup.
Depending on content, an email is most likely a matter of public record and subject to the retention periods assigned to public records. Exceptions to this would include transitory messages with no retention value.
Back-up procedures are performed for disaster recovery purposes only and are not designed to support compliance with the public records law. Therefore, it is the responsibility of each unit manager to define internal procedures for retaining public records generated in email format.
While the technical methods for reviewing, storing, printing, and deleting email vary somewhat from system to system, there are two ways to satisfy public records retention requirements:
Questions about retention periods for various classes of public records should be directed to the Office of the General Counsel.
By its nature, email is easily forwarded to other individuals. When composing and sending email, always keep in mind that what you are writing could be seen by other individuals in addition to those to whom you addressed the email.
How do I know if an e-mail is a public record and, if it is, its retention schedule?
Consult the Office of the General Counsel.
What do I do if I inadvertently delete an e-mail that I want or need to retain?
Call the Information Technology Services (ITS) Help Desk or send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. If you deleted the e-mail on the same day you sent it, it is unlikely that it is recoverable. Otherwise, if the e-mail was sent within the last twelve months, there is a high probability that it can be recovered from back-up. However, as pointed out, back-ups should not be relied upon for public record retention purposes.

Très belle pièce, tissus de qualité, livraison dans les temps, tout est parfait
This is my first ever Yukata and I enjoy it very much. I am very interested in Japan and the culture and this is one step to learning and experiencing that culture. I probably won't wear it every day, but more for special occasions. It arrived earlier than expected especially because it was near christmas time. I am very happy with the service and it came very well done and in beautiful condition! I also liked the instructional that they gave with the garment for first time wearers like myself. I will most likely be ordering from this website another time at a different date!
Ordered slightly the wrong size but arrived as advertised in beautiful condition!
The yukata chosen is just what I was expected : size, pattern, material... and send just on time for Christmas. If I need another one I would definitely order on this website!
Arrived as expected, thanks
