Swimming Pool Landscaping Begins With The Right Fence And Decking
Fencing a swimming pool is a major safety precaution that every pool owner needs to follow. In fact, many cities require fences as a part of getting a swimming pool permit. Since your fence will be a major focal point around your pool take the time to choose one that will look attractive next to your house and provide a great backdrop for swimming pool landscaping. Don't make the mistake of placing your fence too close to your pool, or you won't have room to place plants around your pool.
Depending on the type of pool you have, the way that you surround your pool will vary. Above ground pools often have wrap around wooden decks and in ground pools are often wrapped in cement sidewalks or flagstones. Choose decking that compliments the shape of the pool, type of fence surrounding it, and the type of swimming pool landscaping you want to pursue.
Swimming Pool Landscaping And Plant Choice
When you are landscaping your swimming pool area, sometimes the plants you don't choose are as important as the plants you do choose. Many people like the idea of shade around the pool, but planting trees around the pool means you will be cleaning leaves out of the pool on a regular basis. If you want shade choose evergreen shrubs, such as junipers and you will have a cleaner pool.
It is very tempting to plant highly fragrant or flowering shrubs next to your pool. As beautiful as a flowering bush can be, it can also be a haven for bees. If you don't want to deal with bee stings at pool parties, skip the types of shrubs that attract these insects.
A great way to bring foliage near your pool, with the ability to keep things portable, is to plant shrubs and annuals in containers and spread them out around your swimming pool.

Click on the Punnett Square to the right to get a powerpoint of the notes for this unit. You may notice there are no notes on Punnett Squares, and that's ok! We will be doing those in class using some worksheets found below.
However, these notes are more complete if you would prefer to print them. Some notes on Pedigree charts are also available.
The best way to learn how to do Punnett Squares is to do some, we will be looking at both MONOHYBRID and DIHYBRID crosses. Make sure you can do both! You can get a STEP BY STEP process for solving dihybrid crosses as well.
If you want some fun with bunnies that will help with Punnett Squares click HERE. Hopefully it helps!
Some Help Videos
As always, a quick crash course in Heredity.
Punnett Squares! To the left is a quick how-to on how to draw Punnett Squares. To the right is a good tutorial on what types of questions you can answer with a Punnett Square. It is to your advantage to watch this video since similar questions are likely to show up on your tests and publics!
Here is a video on Dihybrid Crosses, it may not be the most exciting but it will certainly help you in learning how to set these up and answer questions based on dihybrid crosses.
To the far right I have also included a video on Incomplete Dominance, Co-Dominance and Sex-Linked Traits.

By Cycling Dad
This afternoon I went on a low intensity 35k loop through the Vienna Woods with 265m altitude gain.
While the figures may not be very impressive, the ride was noteworthy for two reasons: For one, check out the snapshots I took along the way. The colors of the woods were simply amazing. I have never been to New England during the famous Indian Summer, but this is how I imagine it to be. This is cycling at its best. Imagine fresh (very fresh), crisp air, colors exploding all around you and pristine tarmac under your wheels…
Secondly, and more importantly… did you notice the white powdery substance in the picture above? This is snow (for our friends in Hong Kong). It will be a common phase condition for water in the wild this winter and usually coincides with low temperatures. Sometimes even extremely cold temperatures. I thought quite a bit about this during the ride and worked through a mental shopping list of essential equipment, needed if I am serious about cycling outside and surviving winter. At the moment, temperature are still around zero degrees celsius, but last winter they stayed around minus ten for weeks. I am having mixed feelings about my current gear and am planning to write about it in one of the upcoming posts. I also have mixed feelings about road conditions during this time of the year as there is quite a bit of foliage on the road. It may be a good idea to monitor speed on descends.
Back home my body shifted immediately into fat bunkering mode (or rather shifted one gear further up). I reckon this is the logical consequence to parts of my clothing giving up on the cold weather conditions. The tuna pizza was excellent, as usually is the case after taking the bike for a ride. There still may be some work to be done on the nutrition side of the master plan. And on the training plan. Any suggestions ?

Using Monte Carlo Simulation with Microsoft Excel
- Authors:
- Humberto Barreto, DePauw University, Indiana
- Frank Howland, Wabash College, Indiana
- Date Published: December 2005
- availability: Available
- format: Hardback
- isbn: 9780521843195
This highly accessible and innovative text (and accompanying website: www.wabash.edu/econometrics) uses Excel (R) workbooks powered by Visual Basic macros to teach the core concepts of econometrics without advanced mathematics. It enables students to run monte Carlo simulations in which they repeatedly sample from artificial data sets in order to understand the data generating process and sampling distribution. Coverage includes omitted variables, binary response models, basic time series, and simultaneous equations. The authors teach students how to construct their own real-world data sets drawn from the internet, which they can analyze with Excel (R) or with other econometric software.Read more
- Active learning with highly accessible introductory text using computers and web site support rather than passive reading
- Well-prepared Excel (R) workbooks enable easy Monte Carlo simulation and other analyses
Reviews & endorsements
"Barreto and Howland have taken a truly innovative approach to teach undergraduate econometrics, using computer simulation methods to illustrate and clarify difficult topics. Fully integrated with Microsoft Excel, this textbook forces students to take a hands-on approach to the subject. There is no better way to learn econometrics than by doing econometrics!"
Jason Abrevaya, Purdue UniversitySee more reviews
"Barreto and Howland have done an excellent job of producing an introductory econometric textbook based on Excel software combined with a well written and applied intuitive approach to econometrics. In my opinion, their teaching philosophy is absolutely the correct method: Put the student in front of a computer and teach econometrics by doing econometrics"
Daniel V. Gordon, University of Calgary
"Humberto and Barreto have written a worthwhile and unique textbook on introductory econometrics. I was initially skeptical that Excel and Monte Carlo simulation could be integrated coherently, but the authors execute it well. This book has many positives, including accessibility, potential to engage some students who otherwise might not be interested and likelihood of students finishing with a strong understanding of sampling distributions and linear regression...instructors should consider this progressive textbook for their undergraduate econometrics course."

There was an article recently in the New York Times about the new scope and focus of right-to-life organizations around the country. The benefactors of these good works and services are a group both familiar and dear to me~young African-American women. Imagine this…
A local college or university campus center is screening a film about the horrors of genocide. Our host for the evening is a slender, well dressed mid-aged African-American woman. As she rises to speak and makes her way to the podium something of the familiar stirs in your consciousness: she could be a fondly recalled teacher, a neighbor from back home or perhaps even an "auntie."
After the film there is a breakout session and she makes her way towards your table and graciously asks if an open seat is taken. She is bearing cups with tea and other refreshments from the welcome table. The two of you enter easily into conversation about classes, student life…choices ~ and then that film! Oh that film…so awful! Yes, she muses whilst plying you with tea and sympathy. Careful, dearest…beyond here there be monsters.
The lobbies of abortion opponents have a newfangled approach for outreach in the African American community. Folks who look like you and yours are newly in the employ of agencies such as Georgia Right to Life, the state's primary anti-abortion organization, and have been dispatched to churches, community centers, and university campuses. The campaign also features a dedicated web page, and in the Atlanta area, eighty new billboards with the message that reproductive rights and pro-choice are merely code for "Black genocide." Additionally, there is a controversial documentary being routinely screened by African Americans sympathetic to the anti-abortion cause, namely religious groups and faith-based civic organizations.
The film, "Maafa 21" systematically connects the "dots" of the post-slavery period, the eugenics movement in the U.S., the Third Reich, birth control and abortion. Many of the assertions made early on in the documentary resonate with truths long accepted in our community concerning attitudes of whites during the period immediately following emancipation. The idea that there was going be a deluge of "unskilled, illiterate, and dangerous" Black people loosed on cities throughout the nation generated panic. The real concern was the sharing of wealth, ironically created expressly through the labor of the maligned people.
It was at this juncture, the approaching belle époque of the nineteenth century and the burgeoning of the twentieth, when the sociological science of eugenics began. At the fore of this movement was a woman, Margaret Sanger, who taught health, hygiene and family planning to black and white women in the slums and ghettos of the Northeast. Ms. Sanger's good works notwithstanding, her politics and related papers reveal her to be perhaps the most dangerous woman in America at that time.
Margaret Sanger's alliance with eugenics and her acceptance (and financing) by the white male power structure of the time, complicate the history of the organization she founded, Planned Parenthood. There is ample evidence in the film of the organizations "black-eye" as it relates to African Americans, specifically a segment that exposes conversations between mock racist callers and Planned Parenthood staffers concerning donations that would be earmarked for abortion services to minority groups, especially Blacks. This is where the focus of the documentary actually lies, associating family planning with abortion, and that with calculated Black genocide by the white power structure. There is just enough truth present in Maafa 21 to be persuasive to susceptible viewers, its scope is both sagacious and myopic.
The inflammatory content of the documentary aside, the statistics related to women of color and abortion rates are staggering. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reveals that nearly forty percent of the abortions performed in the United States are for Black women, although we comprise just thirteen percent of the entire population. The numbers speak for themselves…but what are we to say about ourselves and these numbers? Why are Black women having abortions at such disproportional rates? The answer is simple: too many unwanted pregnancies.
Many young urban, Black women succumb to the double societal ills of unwanted pregnancies and poverty not due solely to the excessively high costs of contraceptives. For most women with private or public health insurance plans, birth control pills, and other medically prescribed contraceptives are a covered item, comparable to any other medication dispensed from a physician's written prescription.
In the current framework the health professional (typically, physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner) is the de facto gatekeeper for access to safe, affordable, effective contraceptives.The cost of a reproductive health exam ranges widely, but in certain areas of the country, including urban centers, the fees may exceed $200.00. The missing links of a successful family planning formula within our populations must include a removal of barriers to accessing care (such as the expense of the medical exam required to obtain prescription birth control) and sustained sexual education resources. Research has borne out that one-hit, one-size fits all sexual education lessons are an ineffectual way for young women, particularly teens, to understand and access the labyrinth that is the health care system.
Barriers to medically prescribed birth control methods make the go-to method of choice the male condom. Unfortunately, inconsistencies in technical use and compliance render the male condom one of the birth control options with the highest failure rate. Ultimately, the lack of access to free or low-cost medical exams for prescribed birth control methods, coupled with inadequate sexual education resources leads to an increase in unwanted pregnancies, a higher incidence of termination of pregnancy, and the probability that a child is born into poverty.
Family planning, aka safe, affordable, accessible, birth control is the key to reducing the fact that almost half of all Black pregnancies' are ending in abortions. I am unapologetically pro-choice and I make a distinction between birth control and abortion. Choice is inclusive of planning for pregnancy via contraception. Arguably, the most outrageous inconsistency in pro-life rhetoric (they are legion) is an ideology that is both anti-contraceptive and anti-abortion. Intelligent, sexually active people of all creeds and allegiances commit to family planning practices everyday because it is understood that you cannot have it both ways in this fight.
Another disconcerting feature of the pro-life movements' new found interest in Black America is that it is targeting our young intelligentsia with its propaganda. The Times article highlighted the singular response of a college sophomore to the film: "I was pro-choice before I saw the movie…but now…I'd keep my child no matter what, because of the conspiracy." Pregnancy and parenthood as acts of protest; defiance to a perceived "conspiracy." The only conspiracy clearly present is that existing between some religious leaders in the African American community and pro-life organizations; it is a marriage of guile and convenience that is predatory in its very nature.
Family planning and contraception are and have always been about a woman's self-determination with regard to her reproductive system. The Roe vs. Wade ruling of 1973 was but a small, albeit significant triumph of this will for female autonomy. Black women must continue to think and act analytically about whom we align ourselves with on issues of reproductive rights. An old adage comes to mind when I consider the outreached hands of pro-life groups into our community: always be wary of Greeks bearing gifts.

If there is one TV series (drama) that has had an impact on every single person in South Korea (and in the rest of the world), it's "My Love from the Star". Sure, there are other shows that are popular and everybody knows them, but this one is a real phenomenon that goes far beyond just watching TV. The nowadays trendy junk food known as beer and fried chicken became big because the main heroine craves it despite being on a diet. Whatever she wore on the drama was sold out at the speed of light, even though it was super expensive designer clothes. When idols on lifestyle shows pick up accessories similar to what she wore, they will say "oh, do I look better than Cheon Song Yi?". Shops boast that they sell whatever it was that she had. Both main actors are endorsing dozens of products and whatever product you put their face on sells. The handsome alien is, by the way, the face of my popular skincare and make up brand, Beyond. In short, My Love from the Star is the drama you should watch if you're normally not a big fan of Asian drama and you want to be on trend when going to Korea in the near future. If you're a fan, you've probably already seen it.
And in spring/summer 2014, there was a special exhibition about this drama in Dongdaemun.
If you don't want to feel like a fat whale, don't stand next to Korean actresses.
Yours truly

CHELSEA star N'Golo Kante scored a cracker to earn the Gillette Precision Play of the FA Cup quarter-finals.
The Frenchman had to be utterly precise to beat an in-form David De Gea from 25 yards.
The curling drive escaped the Spaniard's reach and crept in just inside the post to see Chelsea safely through to a semi-final showdown with Tottenham at Wembley.
We've made a super slo-mo replay of the exquisite goal complete with stats to show just how clinical it was.
Kante becomes the fourth winner of the prestigious Gillette Precision Play in the FA Cup this year.
It was a pulsating quarter-final tie at Stamford Bridge between the Premier League leaders and Jose Mourinho's visitors.
But Manchester United were always on the back foot after Ander Herrera was sent off for a second yellow card in the first half.
Jose Mourinho smiled sarcastically as the Spaniard was given his marching orders near the end of the first half for a foul on Eden Hazard.
Chelsea, who had seen some great chances saved by De Gea already, then dominated the early part of the second half.
Then, in the 50th minute, Willian played a smart ball back across the front of the Manchester United box to an advancing Kante.
The midfielder took a couple of touches before sending the ball through the United defence and into the bottom right-hand corner of the net.
It was enough to earn Kante the Man Of The Match award and see Chelsea through to the semis at Wembley in April.
Chelsea will take on their London rivals Tottenham in the semi finals while Arsenal face Manchester City.

The Duchess of York is set to open her heart in a six-part television documentary, but British audiences may never get to see it.
The royal admits that despite "Fergie-baiting selling a lot of papers in Britain", Finding Sarah, to be aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network in the United States, may not go down well with a British audience.
"Could it air in Britain? Probably not without dramatic ramifications and negativity - because I think that it's difficult," she said.
The show, touches on subjects including the Duchess's exclusion from the royal wedding and her role in a scandal in which she admitted trying to sell access to her ex-husband to an undercover News of the World reporter.
"I knew this guy was wrong. I knew that he was a journalist," she said of the newspaper sting.
"I had an instinct as it was - and yet my people-pleasing addiction kept me going, if he could help me and if he could invest in my business - and he also promised to build schools in Afghanistan - maybe then everyone would love me more or maybe then all my staff would be paid. And you know what? It wasn't real. Why didn't I just listen?"
"You live with regret ... that's the most difficult thing I've had to learn."
Finding Sarah premieres June 12 on OWN.

BMI report cards? We can do better than that!
There is a disturbing trend these days to start to have the schools track students' Body Mass Indices (BMI's) and issue them like grades on report cards.
Okay, where do I start with this one? Well first of all, BMI has significant issues and is generally NOT the best measure of health and fitness, or overall disease risk. Secondly…don't the schools have enough to worry about without having an additional burden placed on them? Why don't we rely on doctors to keep track of health related metrics?
Hear what I have to say about this in the video below:

Cruciferous Veggies are Anti Cancer, AGAIN
Well, if you are a loyal vewier / reader of my blog (and who isn't, right?) you knew this information quite a while ago when I posted the "Breast Cancer Risk Reduction Workshop" . This article reinforces the anti-cancer benefits of cruciferous veggies and it's worth reading and passing around. Here is an portion of the article, and a link to the rest of it for you:
"Now scientists at the Ohio State University's Comprehensive Cancer Center at Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and the Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC-James) have even more good news about the health protective power of cruciferous vegetables. They've discovered that a substance in broccoli and Brussels sprouts specifically blocks the growth of breast cancer cells.
The new study, published online June 29th in the journal Cancer Prevention Research, involved laboratory and animal studies which revealed an important connection between the natural compound, dubbed indole-3-carbinol (I3C), and a molecule called Cdc25A that is necessary for cells to divide and proliferate. The Cdc25A molecule occurs at abnormally high levels in cancers of the breast, prostate, liver, esophagus, endometrium and colon, and in non-Hodgkin lymphoma; it is also elevated in other diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. The Ohio State researchers made the remarkable discovery that I3C found in broccoli and Brussels sprouts causes the destruction of Cdc25A — and when that molecule is zapped, there's a sudden halt to breast cancer cell growth."

WHO Admits Pharma Corruption
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently released a "fact sheet" detailing the pervasive corruption in the pharmaceutical industry. They detail the corruption at every level of the "medicine chain" or the flowchart each medication goes through from its inception, through trials, approvals, and distribution to patients. According to the article, " According to WHO data, unethical practices such as bribery, falsification of evidence, and mismanagement of conflicts of interest are "common throughout the medicine chain."".
The original article is definitely worth reading, we should all be aware that there are interests working in the pharmaceutical industry that are NOT working for the benefit of the patients!

Learn how to buy and rent Films & TV content on your Xbox 360 console.
If you have problems watching videos with Films & TV, see Troubleshoot Films & TV on Xbox 360.
Note To buy or rent videos on Xbox 360, you must:
When you rent a film through Films & TV, it's available to you for 14 days. This 14-day countdown starts when you make the purchase. When you start playing the film, another clock starts ticking: you have 24 hours to watch the film as many times as you want.
Let's say you rent a film at 3:00 P.M. on 1 May. If you start watching the film at 8:00 P.M. on 5 May, your rental period expires at 8:00 P.M. on 6 May.
Note Unlike a film that you buy, you must view a film that you rent on the device you rented it for (for example, the Xbox 360 console, a computer or a Windows Phone).
Films & TV provides you with a great selection of the latest free TV shows in our catalogue. You can choose from 100 episodes to watch for free.
You can download and play HD films and videos directly from your Xbox 360 console to your HDTV using an HDMI cable, the Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable or the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable. Full 1080p resolution requires a 1080p-capable HDTV that is HDCP-enabled, plus an HDMI cable or the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable.
If your home network is fast enough, you can also stream videos. With the Xbox 360 console's HDMI connection or the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable, you can view resolutions of up to 1080p. With the Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable, you can view resolutions of up to 720p or 1080i.
You can also watch SD (480p) videos on most TVs by using one of the following: Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable, Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable, Xbox 360 Composite AV Cable or Xbox 360 S-Video AV Cable. The cable you must use depends on the AV input on your TV.
When you buy or rent a video from Films & TV, you may have to decide whether to stream or download it.
Stream to watch now
Streaming is a great option if you have a fast network and Internet connection and you want to watch the video immediately. Although any Internet connection will support downloading a video, Films & TV requires at least a broadband Internet connection (cable, DSL or LAN), especially if you want to stream videos.
Note Films & TV runs a connection test before it tries to stream a video. This checks if your connection can handle the video stream. Because network speeds can vary with network activity (including background downloads), Films & TV performs this test each time you stream.
If your network isn't fast enough to stream the video, Films & TV will notify you before you confirm payment. If your network is too slow for HD streaming, you might be able to stream the SD version or simply download the title instead.
Download to watch later
Downloading works well when you have a slower Internet connection, when you want to make sure you get the best possible video quality from start to finish, or when your computer or device will be offline when you watch the video.
Regardless of whether a network is wired or wireless, download speeds vary by region, Internet service provider and individual network. To optimise your download speed, use a broadband Internet connection and a wired (instead of wireless) connection for Films & TV.

text: Gold is a modern expression of love, and every Valentine's Day thousands of shoppers browse boutique windows full of the stuff. Over 90 countries mine the gold that is fashioned into jewelry, with China currently topping the exporter tables (though as illegal exports are rampant in some countries, exact figures are hard to pin down). South American countries are also major gold producers, particularly Perú, which ranks variously fifth or sixth worldwide. A global gold rush over the last decade has seen a boom in South American mining. But this has led to a specific problem — it is now financially viable to extract gold deposits from areas which were previously unprofitable, such as under tropical forests, resulting in growing damage to one of the planet's most vulnerable ecosystems.

New Heathrow Terminal 2 takes step forward
Completion of major structural work on a new £2.5bn terminal at Heathrow Airport has been marked with a topping out ceremony.
The finished Terminal 2 will open in 2014 and be capable of handling 20 million passengers annually.
It is part of a £4.3bn programme of development at the airport.
BAA chief executive Colin Matthews said the work "puts us within touching distance of a future where Heathrow has some of the best facilities in Europe".
He continued: "There's a lot still to do, but the opening of Terminal 2 could move Heathrow into pole position among European hub airports and allow us to set our sights on elite airports such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Incheon in Seoul."
'Success story'
Transport Secretary Justine Greening said: "For tens of millions of people each year Heathrow is their first impression of the UK, which is why it is so important that it is a positive one.
"We have been clear that we want to improve the experience of those travelling through our airports, and this new terminal will do just that.
"This is also a success story for the country's construction industry, with British-made steel, electronics and engineering responsible for a state-of-the-art facility."
The old Terminal 2 opened in 1955, but shut in 2009 and was demolished in 2010.
Originally designed to deal with 1.2 million passengers a year, it was dealing with eight million when it closed.
The last opening of a new terminal at the airport, Terminal 5, saw operators heavily criticised after chaotic scenes.
Labour's plans for another runway at the west London airport were scrapped by the coalition government, days after it came to power in 2010.

Well, it's that time of the year and many women are turning to braid and cornrow styles. They are the most convenient way to keep your hair looking maintained and stylish in the summer heat. But even though this protective style is low maintenance, it still has to be MAINTENANCED. Protective styles should only stay in for a month at a time. 2 months maximum. Any longer than that and your new growth will stretch and damage. This completely negates the point of protective styling. In addition to this, your braided style will also need to be cleansed. Sweating,dust and dirt causes odor. Conditioning afterwards isn't necessary. Masks and conditioners tend to loosen braids because of their silken qualities. Conditioners will certainly affect the wear life span and often times will cut it in half. Use hydrating shampoos and oils sprays on braided hairstyles instead. I attached a video demonstrating the cleansing of a braided style below.

Days Off, Now.
It is within my concern to inform you that while the world rotates on its axis and I having the option to stay static on my chair looking blindly into the flat LCD monitor for the rest of the weekend to come, I will be going back to my hometown sometime in the evening tomorrow due to imminent personal errands from which I never want to procrastinate for anytime longer than now.
Therefore I would like to inform that even though the world is spider-webbed with internet accesses these days from any end, I may not be able to access my blog for a new 'what's up' for as explained schedule ahead of me.
So please allow me to be away for a while until the day I return to fascinate and entertain you with my more and more neverending tales, which probably at any day sometime next week.
Have a good weekend then, and do take care, all of you. You can still leave comments in any post you prefer. and as soon as I have my hands into the ravaging claws of the world wide web, I will approve them with replies.
Thanks, people.
Much Regards,
p/s: I'll be in Sunway and Wangsa Maju area, just in case.

Playing with the VAR statement ( Javascript )
JavaScript's VAR statement
Anytime you need to declare a variable in JavaScript, you need to use the VAR statement. Now it is most commonly used to create a variable, and usually to initially assign the newly created variable a value.
Because JavaScript assumes everything after the equal sign is an equation, you are able to do a couple really neat things while creating variables in JavaScript which would be much more difficult in another langauge.
Define a Variable ( Only if it Does not already exist )
This has to be, in my opinion, one of the more interesting things you can do in JavaScript. Since you can create your JavaScript in multiple files across a single website, it is possible for you to have a need to only create a variable after checking if it does not exist. And you can do that in 1 statement.
var settings = typeof(settings) == 'undefined' ? {} : settings;
This way guarantees that the variable will only be created if it is currently "undefined".
var settings = settings || {};
This is a shorter way as long as the value for variable "settings" is not something JavaScript would consider a false value. ( '', false, 0 ) This will work.
Setting a default parameter value in a function call ( Bonus )
If you are concerned that some of your function calls may be called with out all of the parameters being assigned a value, you can use the ternary operator to help you here as well.
function setBackgroundColor(newColor) {
newColor ? newColor : newColor = '#111";

Is Frank Francisco MLB's Next Great Closer?
Francisco Rodriguez. Joe Nathan. Jonathan Papelbon. Each young closer has risen from relative anonymity (at least outside of the realm of their respective fandom) to follow the path of the godfather of closers, Mariano Rivera, to national prominence while pitching in the crucible of ninth inning relief.
Now there are a pair of young relievers who could ably follow in their footsteps. One of them is Joakim Soria, who has garnered attention as an integral part of Kansas City's revived baseball fortunes (it's almost as if the city remembered it had a baseball team after 15 years, isn't it?). If you could name who the other one was before you saw the headline of this post, you're doing pretty well for yourself.
Without any significant attention of note, Texas's Frank Francisco has emerged as a dominant closer. He was tied for the major league lead in saves as of Tuesday, and his 0.00 ERA is, statistically, the best in history (obviously). It won't last, but hey, it's impressive for awhile, particularly since he's nearing double-digits in saves without letting in a run ... and only seven hits, for that matter.
The article linked above, from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, cites Francisco's low-key temperament and personality as the key to his success, but there are more compelling numbers to back that up. He's holding opposing hitters to a measly .173 batting average. And this isn't the first time Francisco has been so dominant: Last summer he didn't allow a run after mid-August, pitching perfect innings from August 18 on.
Those numbers stack up extremely well when compared with the early relief careers of Papelbon and, Rodriguez, in particular. When breaking in as a set-up man in 2004, Rodriguez racked up 12 saves with a WHIP of 1.000 as he segued into his full-time final inning gig in 2005, when he saved an impressive 45 games. As for Papelbon, his WHIP was 1.471 in 2005 before taking over as closer in '06, when he saved 35 games.
Francisco? His 2008 WHIP was 0.952, better than either Rodriguez or Papelbon, and his WHIP has increased at almost exactly the rate that Papelbon and Rodriguez's did when they took over as full-time closers.
Does this mean that he'll be able to keep up his torrid pace? Who knows. One thing is certain: He's off to a heck of a start.

One other thing that Soria and Fransisco have in common is that they are both on the DL. He's a lot older now than when K-Rod and Papelbon started closing. #4 on his list of comparables on his B-Ref page is Saul Rivera. Another coincidence is that were he with the club who first signed him, he would not likely be the closer because their closer is Jonathan Papelbon. That team also has his #1 comparable, Ramon Ramirez.
Didn't he throw a chair in an incident in Anaheim his rookie year? Yes!
Add in an injury history, too (wiki says 2005 TJ surgery).

The Miami Marlins are doing everything they can to horrify their fan base and the rest of baseball.
And it has nothing to do with the team's roster makeup.
As part of the team's drastic makeover, the Marlins will play in their new ballpark wearing day-glo orange uniforms, according to the Miami New Times.
Not only that, but their four jersey variations feature multicolored "Miami" and "Marlins" nameplates.
The mock-ups have not yet been confirmed. But if recent history regarding Marlins' rumors holds true, you will see manager Ozzie Guillen ripping umpires with profanity-laced tirades fully-clad in orange.
This is nearly as comical as their psychedelic drug-looking home run sculpture. Almost.

Clive Moodley 2344 days agoI stumbled by chance on this video. I was amazed how much the girl looks like me girlfriend, Taryn Govender. This video embarrassingly reminded me of what happened similarly 3 weeks ago. My girlfriend has a vicious dog as a family pet. She despises the dog because he always tries to attack her. Taryn is 24 years old and had th dog as a pup since 7 years. The dog has already bitten me twice. 3 weeks ago, I stayed the weekend at her home while her parents were on a ship cruize. I asked Taryn to dress up sexy in her office grey skirt and designer heels and a white blouse. We were having foreplay in her bedroom. Taryn lay on the carpet with her bum in the air while teasing me with glimpses of her panty under her skirt. Suddenly I saw her dog standing at the bedroom door, growling at me. Her dog attacked me and bit my hand. Taryn told me to remain still, just as she did. Suddenly I saw the dog mount Taryn and push his penis over her skirt against her bum area. I noticed the dogs penis get erect while he pushed it all over her skirt over bum area. I was astonished when Taryn's skirt lifted over her back and I saw her dog pushing his cock against her panty directly where her panty covered her vagina. I could see his penis making her panty wet where he thrusted his cock. Suddenly the dog started licking Taryn's panty by her vagina and then bit and tore off her panty. I was shocked. The dog started licked Taryn's naked puss and mounted her again and instantly grabbed and held his jaw on the back of her neck, so that she wouldn't move. I saw his cock get longer and very stiff. The dog pushed his cock directly inside Taryn's puss and started fcking her puss very hard and for at least 5 minutes by myy count. I thought he wouldn't stop. Suddenly I noticed the dog release his bite from Taryn's neck, and squeel while he appeared to cumm. He ran off afterwards. The dogs sperm poured for a while from Taryn's puss. I was most surprised when Taryn told me that she also came while the dog fcked her. She told me that she had sex with her dog many times and loves it. Reply Report

The Event As with past events, attendees were brimming with lots of ideas to form a business over the next 48 hours. The event kicked off on Friday evening with a brief welcome presentation by organiser Simon McCann, followed by 60-second-pitches from attendees. There were around 40 pitches and only around 15 got through to the second round. In the end, 10 ideas were chosen as projects for the weekend.
On such weekends, there is always plenty to work with, from inspiring and creative ideas to simply light and fun projects, such as having a platform that allows people to pay a very small fee in order to receive a compliment. In typical fashion, event mentors listen to the ideas and provide valuable feedback with the aim to help turn a great idea into a viable business. All aspects of the idea are explored: Is there a need for this product or service? What is the revenue model and what are the revenue projections? Who else provides a similar, if not identical offering? What research has been conducted to satisfy entrepreneurs that their idea is viable and will indeed be successful? It's not uncommon during such events that project names change and would-be businesses change direction over the course of a weekend. It is also not uncommon that at the end of the weekend the team may not have a finished product, mostly due to the fact that the ratio of business people to developers is about 5:1. However, the Launch48 team equips its participants with a wealth of resources that enable the creation of (at the very least) basic (and functioning) websites, payment integration solutions, financial and legal advice and much, much more. Attendees are highly encouraged to tweet and blog about their business throughout the duration of the weekend in order to drive traffic and gain (but also test) traction. But support doesn't stop with the end of the weekend. Launch48 offers additional workshops, such as LaunchPad which is an 8-week programme focused on refining and polishing a start-up in order to take it to the next level. In this way, entrepreneurs are introduced to a number of accelerators and incubators in the hope of bringing what was originally just an idea into realisation. The Ideas Where Pets Eat Where Pets Eat is a company that delivers quality and nutritional pet food to pet owners. In addition to home delivery, the service also provides analyses to people who are unsure about what to give their pets to eat by collecting information such as breed of the animal, activity and age in order to recommend the ideal nutrition. Lendmeit Lendmeit is an online lending platform for communities, where people can list items to lend out for a small fee. The platform allows people to utilise idle items in the household and make money by hiring them out to their friends and neighbours. Although the service could be for both lenders and borrowers (lenders to list their item, borrowers to post a request for an item), the team focused on lenders as their initial market for the purpose of the Weekend. While there are some competitors, Lendmeit are the only startup that offers a mobile platform, allowing potential borrowers to search for items on-the-go and at (or near) their current location. Karisma Kidz Karisma Kidz designed Moodville, an online platform for children between the ages of 3 and 6, that teaches kids how to manage their emotions. Moodville has different "emotion places", e.g. "Angry Alley", "Joyful Junction" or "Love Lane" where children can navigate and, using available online tools, work through their emotions. The platform includes games and also fun characters which children can assume and personalise. The aim is to not only provide fun gaming but, more importantly, a save environment with outstanding educational tools for kids. Since the website launched its early sign-up page, they have had a number of people sign up and are continuing to gain more traffic. Foodero.us Chefs hosting dinner parties at their homes. When traveling to a foreign country, it can be challenging to find places that serve good local and authentic cuisine. In addition, eating out in very tourist-y places can be quite expensive. Foodero.us is a platform where people can search for chefs who are offering their services to cook authentic local dishes in their homes for a small fee.
EventLick EventLick is a kickstarter for events. Rather than planning an event and worry about low attendance, event organisers can list their events on this platform which would-be event goers can browse for. If they like it, they can lick it. The more licks an event receives, the more likely it's going to take place. This spares event organisers from spending a lot of money on events that may not have the attendance they have hoped for in order to make their money back. WhoStation WhoStation allows people to gamify their social life by "blindmeeting" their friends. When going to event, users can use the app to find out who else in their circle is attending the same event and meet them there. Users can sign in using their Facebook credentials, tick the activities they are interested in and join an event anonymously. Compliment.Me Allows users to pay for a compliment and, in turn, be happier people. The idea was inspired by an article published by Forbes Magazine in which a study showed that receiving a compliment had the same effect on people as receiving cash. The website is a trade platform: pay for a compliment and earn by complimenting. In the first night of launch, the website had 254 unique visits with 95 visitors initiating the call to pay. BrandStar BrandStar.me takes highly expensive branding services and makes them affordable for start-ups. The service is aimed at small business owners or teams within big corporations that can't get traction. BrandStar looks at every aspect of a business to define the brand. Customers can pick from a list of words which becomes refined and turned into a word cloud. They can use this information as guide or inspiration to further define their brand and design their logo. Change the Future An ideas platform that helps turn good ideas into feasible actions. Users can create a roadmap to the potential implementation of their idea. Potential customers are teachers, students, parents and educational institutions that are tired of an outdated education system.
Scen.io A platform that powers different solutions to create and manage events. The platform allows event organisers to plug into third-party services such as Eventbrite, Meetup and Ticketmaster to market their events simultaneously across all platforms. About Launch48 Launch48 help entrepreneurs who have great ideas but don't know how to get started. Their Weekend events help provide common ground for people with different skill sets to come together, build products and launch their startup in 48 hours. With a good mix of technical and non-technical attendees, all that matters is that people come with an enthusiasm to try new things and work on new ideas.

2012 GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain — when he's not mangling the details of his own 999 tax plan — has been singing the supposed benefits of "the Chilean model" of Social Security privatization. Using the right-wing buzzword "personalization," (instead of "privatization") Cain claims that this model will provide a better deal for workers.
As many analyses over the years have shown, privatized retirement accounts would not provide a more secure retirement for seniors. In fact, an October 2008 retiree would have lost tens of thousands of dollars in that month's stock market slide alone. And as it turns out, not only would Chile-style private accounts be bad for workers, they'd be bad for the country's bottom line as well, as Bloomberg News detailed:
Herman Cain, the former pizza executive surging in polls for the Republican presidential nomination, wants to replace Social Security with what he called the "Chilean model" of private pension funds. Full adoption of that model may push the U.S. deeper into deficit than Greece. […] The U.S. budget shortfall would rise above Greece's 10.5 percent of GDP if all of the current payroll tax was diverted into private saving funds, according to Bloomberg data.
Chile's plan has "left millions without savings for their retirement and originally provided no safety net for the poor." According to estimates by Chile's undersecretary for pensions, "in 2007, only 60 percent of Chilean workers had some kind of pension coverage, down from 86 percent in the 1970s."
Of course, Cain would have to radically rethink Social Security since his 999 tax plan eliminates the payroll tax, Social Security's source of financing. But that doesn't change the fact that the sort of privatization he envisions would entail massive new costs to the government just to pay for shifting to a new system, while leaving everyone but the very wealthiest seniors more vulnerable and with less of a safety net.

Money is everything in the practical life in the USA. No matter how much one makes, it does not prove enough. A person usually gives all his potential to the business he is running to get extra money. But there are other ways that a person can try out to get his hands on extra money.
Expand your options; diversify your skills
If a person knows how to design a website or is expert in some other language, he can make use of that knowledge. Many people are making good amount of money by designing websites for different companies. People also use other skills they have to their advantage in order to earn money. Skills like carpentry prove very helpful for people in this regard. They can make different items, toys and other small household things to sale.
Buy yourself a franchise
Buying a franchise can also solve your income problems to some extent. Many companies in the USA like fast food chains offer their name and trademark in this regard. A person must have some cash money to pay upfront along with the whole investment. But every decision to be made in this regard should be calculated and carefully made to avoid loss.
Use what – you-don't-use to fetch money
Having an extra room in one's house can be a very helpful thing in terms of generating extra money. He can easily get a paying guest in that room of his, which is a good source of income with very little extra expenses. Besides the room, if a person owns a vehicle that is not used frequently, he can rent it out to get extra cash for himself. A person can also rent out the space in front of his apartment as a parking spot.
If you have some funds, put them to good use
Stock exchanges are becoming more and more popular among people in the USA who want to make money from their homes. It is a very great opportunity for those who have are more business minded. A small investment in the stock exchange can prove a very good source of extra income for a small scale businessman.
Miscellaneous income generating possibilities
There are many other opportunities for a small scale businessman to generate extra income for himself. He can use his good speaking skills to get cash. A person can also sell his driving skills to different automobile dealerships, which usually deals in specialty vehicles.

Carpet cleaning machines require a 120-volt outlet (the standard three-prong outlets that are found throughout the home). Most carpet clearing machines come equipped with a power cord over 20 feet long to enable them to reach to every corner of a standard room without having to change outlets.
Carpet cleaning machines come from a variety of manufacturers, each one specializing at different tasks. For example, the top-rated Hoover Power Scrub excels at cleaning large areas very quickly. However, if only a small spot needs cleaning, the Bissell Spot Clean may be a better option.
One of the most popular brands of carpet cleaners is Rug Doctor. Rug Doctor cleaners are available for rent at many home goods stores, such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Big Lots.

It's probably best if you don't remember the old Alex Cross played by Morgan Freeman from Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. This new Alex Cross from the franchise "reboot" (of sorts) is not a charismatic, middle-aged man with a magnetic, made-for-narration voice. This new Alex Cross is played by a hulking, 6'5″ dude best known for performing in drag.
I can only imagine how Alex Cross, vaguely based on the 12th novel of the series, Cross, by James Patterson, would have turned out had the producers been able to secure their first choice, Idris Elba from The Wire. It wouldn't have made up for the atrocious script and the deficiencies in the direction, but at least our protagonist would have the edge that Tyler Perry sorely lacks. Perry is clearly very good at what he does (his fortune from the Madea movies, where he plays a thuggish elderly woman, speaks for itself), but this role just felt uncomfortable for him.
Let me backtrack a little. Alex Cross is a psychologist and police lieutenant in Detroit who accepts a job as an FBI profiler. In Alex Cross, he and his partner (Ed Burns) begin a dangerous cat and mouse game with a psychotic killer known as Picasso, played by Matthew Fox from Lost, who enjoys drugging and torturing his victims. That's basically it. Picasso does a lot of crazy stuff and acts all crazy and Alex Cross and his partner try to track him down and bring him to justice.
The biggest problem with this movie is the script, which I am told has very little to do with the original story. Alex Cross is supposed to be some super clever detective, but in this film all he does is get angry, jerked around and continuously outsmarted by the villain. What's the point of this movie if all our detective uses is his massive muscles and not his brain?
My second issue is with the direction of Rob Cohen, who really shouldn't be that bad because he's the director of The Fast and the Furious, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story and Stealth, none of which are nearly as horrible as this effort. But instead, the film comes across like a B-grade, straight-to-DVD affair that reeks of laziness. The movie flatlines all the way through without any genuine thrills or excitement. Even the special effects are weak. And what the heck is the deal with those amateurish slow-mo effects during the fight scenes?
This brings me to Tyler Perry, who, to be fair, wasn't given much to work with but still underperformed as the titular character. I didn't feel his intelligence or his emotion, even at a pivotal moment when tragedy struck. Still, he was better than Ed Burns and his annoying voice.
Matthew Fox apparently underwent some serious workouts and diets to totally transform his body for this role, and it looks like it was a waste of time. His villain looks menacing enough but isn't given much substance. He's undoubtedly crazy, but just not very interesting. Hannibal Lecter he certainly isn't.
Not much else to say except to confirm that Alex Cross was indeed a huge disappointment. A sequel with Perry reprising the role was announced before this one was even released, but I wonder whether the plans will change with the film being bombarded by poor reviews and a subpar box office performance.

What datasets are most predictive and valuable? How can a company best manage all of its data and connect it seamlessly across platforms? What metrics are most useful and capable? The recent Cynopsis Data and Measurement Conference offered some insights into these questions, showcasing trends in media data from its impact, its measurement, its use by advertisers and its targeting applications. What follows are some key takeaways.

Quantitative easing has had a mixed press since it was announced by Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England, in February 2009. In his columns in the Sunday Telegraph Liam Halligan has lambasted it with an almost religious fervour, equating it with "the printing of money" and claiming that it will lead to a big surge in inflation. One of his recent articles proposed that money printing (and hence QE) was "the last refuge of declining economic empires and banana republics", and amounted to "state-sponsored theft". Halligan sounds like a hellfire monetarist, repeating Milton Friedman's old maxim that inflation is caused by excessive growth in the money supply.
But what is "money"? The question sounds simple, but it is actually both difficult and controversial. Obviously, legal tender notes and coin are the most familiar form of money, and many people — including Halligan perhaps — understandably believe that they constitute all of the textbook definition of "money". At one time the Bank of England did indeed prepare data for a money aggregate, known as M0, which was dominated by its own note issue. But nowadays, payments across bank deposits are many times larger — more than 100 times larger — than payments with cash. So the standard definition of money includes deposits. The quantity of money, as normally understood in the UK, embraces a very wide range of deposits and goes under the label of M4. The Bank scrapped M0 in 2006 because it had ceased to represent the notion of money properly. Roughly speaking, M4 was more than 30 times larger than M0 before M0's demise. So a basic question for Halligan is, to which money aggregate do your warnings relate? Is he concerned about the total of bank deposits (over £1,500 billion) or of the note issue (about £50 billion)? Without a clear answer, it is difficult to know what to make of the hullabaloo about declining empires and banana republics.
Friedman's own work related mostly to measures of money that included deposits, because he found from experience that these so-called "broad money aggregates" had the best relationship with national expenditure and income. Over the two years since QE began, the M4 concept of money has increased slowly, by about 3 or 4 per cent. The increase in the quantity of money has been the lowest in any two-year period since the 1950s. How can Halligan forecast a huge leap in inflation on the basis of that? The flow of words is wonderful, but what is he actually worried about?

Bleak House by Charles Dickens
Bleak House was the 9th novel of Charles Dickens. The novel was published in installments from March 1852 through September 1853.
The illustrator was Hablot Knight Browne. However, Browne was better known by his pen name, Phiz.
Bleak House – Dickens's Life at The Time
- In 1851 Catherine Dickens, Charles Dickens's wife, suffers a nervous collapse. Later Dora Dickens, the youngest daughter of Charles and Catherine, dies when she is only eight months old. The father of Charles Dickens also dies in 1851.
- The publication of Bleak House begins in 1852. That year also sees the birth of the youngest child of Charles Dickens, Edward known as "Plorn".
- In 1853 George Lewes complains about the manner of death for a Bleak House character.
What's in a Name?
Bleak House had several working titles. Some of these included:
- East Wind
- Tom-All-Alone's
- Bleak House and the East Wind
- The Solitary House that was Always Shut Up
Spontaneous Combustion
In Bleak House a character dies via an unusual method — spontaneous combustion. The unfortunate character to meet this fate is Krook, the brother of Mrs. Smallweed.
George Henry Lewes, a writer for the Leader, complained in his February 1853 column that people just didn't suddenly burst into flame. Dickens responded by writing a coroner's inquest into the next segment of Bleak House. In the book, Krook's death was investigated and authorities on spontaneous combustion were cited to prove that the phenomena really did exist.
Spontaneous combustion was a good literary device to demonstrate that passionate forces can lie within us. However, despite the fact that a Bleak House inquest "proved" that people can spontaneously combust, this idea is not taken seriously today.
Theme of Bleak House
Bleak House dramatizes the flaws in the British Court of Chancery. In Dickens's time, there were two main types of courts. Courts of Common Law dealt with crimes like murder or theft. In this type of case, someone was accused and tried. The outcome of the trial was based on principles of common law.
The other court system was the Court of Chancery. The Chancery handled items like property disputes. Each case was to be decided on the principles of Equity. In other words, each case was to be considered on its own merits. This was thought to be an improvement over trying this type of case in the Courts of Common Law.
However, the Chancery became as bad as the system it replaced. The Chancery was commonly looked upon as an ineffective, expensive and technically difficult system.
The litigants were charged fees at every step of the legal process. These fees went directly to the court officials. More steps in the justice process meant that there would be more opportunities to collect fees. As a consequence, the system became a bureaucratic nightmare.
Sometimes it took years for cases to even come to trail. From that point, it could be years before a decision on the case was reached. In the preface of a non-serialized volume of Bleak House Dickens writes:
At the present moment (August, 1853) there is a suit before the court which was commenced nearly twenty years ago, in which from thirty to forty counsel have been known to appear at one time, in which costs have been incurred to the amount of seventy thousand pounds, which is A FRIENDLY SUIT, and which is (I am assured) no nearer to its termination now than when it was begun.
Dickens was very familiar with the court system from this time spent as a law clerk. He also had a bad experience with the court in 1844. Dickens brought a case to Chancery that dealt with the copyright to A Christmas Carol. Dickens did win the case, however his opponents declared bankruptcy. Instead of collecting damages Dickens found himself paying court costs — on the case that he won.

Saturday October 3rd, 5.00pm
Little Missenden Church
This is an archived event from the 2015 Programme.
Josep-Ramon Olivé baritone Ben-San Lau piano
Schumann's Dichterliebe cycle is one of his finest and best loved compositions, born of his struggle to marry Clara against her father's wishes. His success unleashed a great outpouring of magnificent songs. The Dichterliebe settings, about the pain and joy of love lost and found, are tender, passionate, sad, defiant, angry – but unfailingly tuneful and deeply moving.
Duparc was a reticent and ailing genius whose total output of songs was no bigger than Dichterliebe – yet this tiny volume of work sets him firmly among the great songwriters. These perfect settings of three superb texts are among his best – and couldn't sound more French!
Finally, a quintessentially English set: Finzi's five Shakespeare settings, Let us garlands bring. These were dedicated to Vaughan Williams, who thought Fear no more the heat o' the sun one of the loveliest songs he'd ever heard.
These two exceptionally talented performers won the 2015 Oxford Lieder Young Artists Competition.
Barcelona-born Josep-Ramon Olivé is studying Opera at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He recently won the Paul Hamburger Prize; and 2nd Prize at both the 20th International Singing Competition of Mâcon and the 7th International Singing Competition of Balaguer.
Ben-San Lau took a Guildhall Master's degree with distinction in piano accompaniment. He is a Britten-Pears Young Artist. Graham Johnson chose him for the 2013 Song Guild concert of Schubert Lieder. He has collaborated with Iain Burnside, and taken masterclasses with Malcolm Martineau and Roger Vignoles.
