Agency pursues an e-government policy of continuous improvement
"American Customer Satisfaction Index (ASCI) E-Government Satisfaction Index"
Citizen satisfaction with government Web sites dropped slightly for the first quarter of 2006, the first decrease since the beginning of 2005, according the University of Michigan's quarterly American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey. But despite the overall decline, satisfaction with many individual sites rose substantially.
A report on the survey highlights citizens' satisfaction with the Internal Revenue Service's Web site, which increased its score since 2005. The IRS has been emphasizing electronic services for taxpayers. Its goal is to have 80 percent of taxpayers file online. The ACSI report is one tool the agency uses in improving its online offerings, said Susan Smote, the IRS' director of Internet development.
"We use a variety of Web monitoring tools and respected measurement services to gauge our effectiveness, including ACSI," Smote said. "ACSI allowed us to identify specific elements of the IRS.gov site that were underperforming and tackle our most urgent issues." The IRS redesigned its Web site last November.
For this past quarter, the ACSI E-Government Satisfaction Index showed aggregate citizen satisfaction for the 91 Web sites it measured at 73.5 out of 100, a decline of nearly 0.5 percent from a score of 73.9 measured in the fourth quarter of 2005. A score of 80 is a threshold that demonstrates exceptional commitment to citizen or customer satisfaction, according to the survey's developers.
Claes Fornell, director of the University of Michigan's National Quality Research Center, said that with continuous effort, agencies can encourage more citizens to use government Web sites to get information and conduct online transactions.
Some e-government sites showed marked improvements in customer satisfaction, including the IRS' site, which rose five percentage points from a score of 68 to 73 points. Despite the essentially flat satisfaction score over two consecutive quarters, overall satisfaction has improved by 2.2 percent in the past year.
Several agency and department sites — including the primary Web sites of the General Services Administration, FirstGov, and the Food Safety and Inspection Service — have shown significant yearly increases in citizen satisfaction ratings, said Larry Freed, president and chief executive officer of ForeSee Results, which sponsors the e-government index.
This quarter, 14 sites or 15 percent of those measured have scores of 80 or higher. Of those sites, 12 have maintained scores of 80 or higher since they were first measured, according to the index. However, 25 sites scored 70 or below this quarter, with an average score of 65.6, survey results show.
This is not yet cause for concern, according to the authors of the ACSI report. "Citizen satisfaction with e-government has improved at a competitive pace with online private-sector sites measured by the ACSI, which is commendable given budget constraints and regulatory restrictions faced by e-government sites," the ACSI report states.

John was born on May 29, 1917 in Brookline, Massachusetts. He had the good fortune of being born into a family of some esteem. His father, Joseph, had made a fortune from humble beginnings. It is suspected, however, that a great deal of Joseph's fortune came from bootlegging during the times of Prohibition. Nevertheless, Joseph had important political connections and a good reputation in high society, even serving as ambassador to the United Kingdom under President Fraklin D. Roosevelt. John's mother, Rose, was the daughter of a mayor of the city of Boston. John had eight siblings. Among them were Joe Jr., who aspired to be President one day, and Robert, who would serve as Attorney General in John's administration. Joe Jr. was always his father's favorite son when the young Kennedys were growing up, and many of the other siblings were jealous of Joe. John, in particular, always wanted to prove that he could do just as much as Joe could.
John did not stray far from home to go to college; he went to Harvard and graduated in 1940. During his time at Harvard, he wrote the book Why England Slept, analyzing the United Kingdom's lack of readiness for World War II. Why England Slept became a bestseller, though it was originally intended only to be John's senior essay project. After college, Kennedy entered the Navy and became a skipper on a PT boat. He had a hard time entering the Armed Forces because of a bad health history: he had suffered numerous diseases including scarlet fever and bronchitis. Kennedy and his crew were placed in the Pacific Theater of the war, and a Japanese destroyer rammed the vessel, sinking it. Kennedy's coolness under fire saved the crew from disaster and they swam to safety on an island. Kennedy himself dragged one badly burned crew member through the water to safety. John was awarded the Purple Heart as well as the Navy Medal of Valor. His brother Joe was killed in action during the war, which was a major blow to his family.
After his military service, John turned his eyes to a political career after a short stint as a journalist. In 1946, he won his first seat in the House of Representatives. Six years later, he would become a United States Senator. Kennedy did not accomplish much while he served in Congress, mainly because of further health problems. Kennedy suffered from malaria, which he contracted during the war, and Addison's disease. Later he also had to have surgery on his bad back. While recovering from that surgery, Kennedy wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Profiles In Courage. This book told the stories of unsung heroes in American history who made decisions based on morals instead of votes or popularity. Kennedy was a candidate to be Adlai Stevenson's running mate in 1956, but he lost. However, four years later he won the Democratic Party's nomination for President.
Kennedy ran a very shrewd campaign for President. He was running against a popular Richard M. Nixon and he knew that it would take a lot to beat him. Kennedy was somewhat like candidate Al Smith in 1928 in that he faced an anti-Catholic prejudice. Another soft spot for Kennedy was his age. Kennedy was very young, and many considered this a disadvantage. Kennedy's young, vibrant image had actually been an advantage in many of his earlier campaigns and he wasn't about to let it hinder his run for the presidency. He resolved to challenge his opponent to a series of televised debates. Though Nixon brought better arguments to the table, Kennedy's image during the debates greatly improved the public's opinion of him. Nixon, on the other hand, looked very weary and he lost a lot of support. Kennedy was the first politician to use the television to his advantage. It's quite ironic that Kennedy became popular because of his youthful, energetic image despite his horrific medical history.
Kennedy continued his smart politics during his presidency. In his early administration, he began laying out groundwork for the legislation he would encourage. He quickly gained a reputation as a civil rights activist. He founded the Peace Corps and set the stage for other legislation which he would implement in his second term. Of course, Kennedy would never make it to a second term, so much of this legislation was passed under the administration of Lyndon Johnson. Kennedy also made the claim that we would send a man to the moon within a decade and began laying out plans for what would become NASA. Still, his most important actions during his short term as President would be how he dealt with the Soviet Union, Cuba, and communism.
The island nation of Cuba fell under the rule of Communist leader Fidel Castro while Dwight D. Eisenhower was still President. The people of America were afraid of having a Communist presence only 90 miles from their shores. The leaders of the CIA and Eisenhower had been planning to overthrow Castro for some time. Kennedy inherited these plans from Eisenhower's administration and he agreed to an invasion. The plan was to have Cuban exiles return to Cuba and overthrow Castro's regime, with the help of American training and supplies. This invasion, which would be known as the Bay of Pigs invasion, failed horribly and embarrassed the American government.
Having failed, Kennedy needed to save face. The Soviets built the Berlin Wall in 1961. Kennedy traveled there personally and delivered the infamous line "Ich bin ein Berliner". The Soviet Union threatened to end Allied occupation of Berlin, and both sides sent troops to Berlin to show they meant business. The Soviets eventually backed down, and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was impressed with the young President's confidence and assertiveness. The ball was now in Khrushchev's court once again.
The Soviet Union began assembling nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962. When this news was made public, there was a lot of panicking among the American public. Kennedy knew that this situation had to be defused quickly. The American government set up a blockade preventing the entry of any Soviet boats into Cuba. Though Khrushchev was gaining respect for Kennedy, he was not expecting such a gutsy move. In meetings, Khrushchev had commented that he was old enough to be Kennedy's father, and originally refused to take him seriously. Khrushchev made a promise to America, "We will bury you", as the world escalated ever closer to nuclear war. Kennedy and his advisors saw that the Soviet Union was in no condition to have a war, and gave Khrushchev the chance to remove missiles from Cuba if America removed its missiles from Turkey. This gave Khrushchev an easy way out, even though that agreement was secret. The threat of nuclear war had been removed.
Though he was a very successful president, Kennedy did not even finish one full term. On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas, while riding in an open convertible in a motorcade. Kennedy was dying in front of hundreds, and in the arms of his wife. What actually happened remains a mystery to this day. A man by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested as a suspect. Oswald suspiciously met his end as well when he was being transferred from a temporary holding cell. Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby, the owner of a nightclub in Dallas. The American government placed Earl Warren and the Warren Commission in charge of the official investigation of Kennedy's death and they determined that Oswald acted alone. Many people do not accept the Warren Commission's report because the facts about the assassination are unclear. Regardless of who actually killed the President, the whole nation mourned the loss of a great man that day. Every American alive that day remembered where they were when they found out that Kennedy had been killed. This is a testament to Kennedy's popularity and the legacy he has left on the history of the United States.

This is wonderful and the trout lilies are a great reminder of the spring to come!
I love this one, and the fact that you are thinking of wildflowers this time of the year!
Indeed it is. Makes me long even more deeply for the spring.


text: Trickett on 'Noles and his QB son By Mitch Vingle July 24, 2013 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Preseason college football polls and rankings mean little by the end of the season. Rightfully, teams earn or lose respect throughout the season and climb or fall accordingly. (Hmm. Might be a nice way to handle our political officials.)However you consider the preseason polls, though, most involved in voting take the task seriously. As West Virginia's Associated Press poll voter for 2013, I certainly do. I push aside preseason magazines and do my own research.What I found is one team that's being seriously underrated in regard to the upcoming season. And I spoke on the phone to one of the coaches of that team to verify my research.Masontown native, Glenville grad and Florida State assistant head coach Rick Trickett largely agreed with me. His Seminoles should be a force. "I think people don't realize how many people we have," Trickett said on Wednesday.I agree. When the Atlantic Coast Conference's media poll came out this week, FSU was ranked second to Clemson in the Atlantic Division voting - by a wide margin. Much of that, I assume, is because of standout Tiger quarterback Tajh Boyd and flashy receiver Sammy Watkins.Methinks, though, they doth hype Clemson too much - and not because a year ago at this time WVU was coming off a 70-33 Orange Bowl victory over the Tigers. Some follow the money. I follow the recruits. I follow their growth. The Seminoles have at least 10 NFL draft prospects. At least."I felt our best players last year were in our bottom two classes," Trickett said. "Now they are sophomores and juniors. The only thing we don't have is a quarterback that's taken a snap. He's got to grow up a little bit. But he has a lot of talent."That's an understatement. Trickett's son, Clint, left Florida State for WVU because of a good reason: Jameis Winston, a five-star recruit ranked by many as the nation's No. 1 2012 quarterback prospect.That's your FSU weak link. I know, I know. How many times have you been told Florida State was going to be a national title contender over the last decade, right? How many times have they inexplicably tripped?Also, Florida State had 11 players - eleven - taken in the most recent NFL draft. That's a lot of talent to replace, especially when you consider the Seminoles will play at both Clemson and Florida this season.But the 'Noles have that talent. They have at least six players projected to be drafted in the first two rounds of upcoming NFL drafts - and that doesn't include Winston. Again, 10 overall."When we beat Notre Dame in the Champs Bowl in 2011, we had four true freshmen along the offensive line," Trickett said. "Now they're four juniors." Many WVU fans have been yearning for Trickett to return and coach the Mountaineer offensive line since he left for Tallahassee. One Bleacher Report article criticized him, but Clarksburg native and FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher rewarded Trickett with a three-year contract extension.Anyway, I understand Florida State has fizzled many times over the last decade. But I've never pointed to them in that time frame. Fisher and company, though, had the nation's No. 1 recruiting class, according to Scout, in 2011. They had the No. 6 class, according to Rivals, in 2012.Keep in mind the Seminoles play in the ACC. Keep in mind that this year the target is on Clemson in that league.Oh, and while Trickett was on the line, yes, I did ask about his son, who is gunning to be the new Mountaineer QB."I hope Clint does well," Trickett said. "I know he really likes it there. I know he likes Dana [Holgorsen]. Clint is a little bit of a gunslinger and I think so is Dana."What I know is you won't find anyone who will compete harder than Clint. And he always wanted to play for WVU. He could have gone to a number of schools, like Auburn and Oklahoma State, but he wanted to play at West Virginia. "We'll just put it in the Good Lord's hands."Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

Mad Men x Banana Republic shawl cardigan
Will Ship To: Anywhere
Up for sale is a size L cardigan that I bought from another user. The previous owner had told me it shrank a little and it fits a medium or a slim large now. I have personally only worn it a dozen times and the person I bought it from claimed to wear it only a few times. The condition is easily an 8/10. I kept it folded in a closet so hopefully any stretching has been kept to a minimum. Comes from a smoke/pet free environment.
Thanks for taking a look and message me if you have any concerns.
Will consider all serious offers!

Term: Anatomy of the Body of God
Anatomy of the Body of God: If we accept the possibility of "truths" expressed in sacred literature we have to be open to "non-literal" interpretations. It is hardly sensible to think we are "created in God's image" and then look for such identity just in our physical bodies. Rather, knowing that Consciousness, along with Energy and Matter, have to come in the "Beginning with the Word," we can think of the unit of consciousness that is ours as modeled after God as Consciousness, hence "the Anatomy of the Body of God" is our consciousness as programmed for our development. In Self-Empowerment & the Sub-Conscious Mind, (co-authored with Joe H. Slate) Carl Llewellyn Weschcke draws upon a personal visionary experience in which the Great Pyramid of Giza becomes a model for Personal Consciousness expressed as the Sub-Conscious Mind, the Conscious Mind, and the Super-Conscious Mind and connections to Soul and to the Collective and Universal Unconscious. The major point is the realization that in our Personal Consciousness we are modeled after the Universal Consciousness set at the Beginning. As a model, we are constantly growing to fulfill that potential and in doing so we are fulfilling the Great Plan set for in the "Word."

An Iranian movie about female soccer fans? And a comedy, to boot? It may sound unlikely, but director Jafar Panahi pulls off a smart and savvy look at the roles of soccer and women in Iranian society. His six fearless females try to defy the country's all-male rule and sneak into Iran's crucial 2006 World Cup qualification match against Bahrain (Panahi somehow managed to film at the game in question). Many of the sequences are inspired, especially when you bear in mind that the cast was composed of amateurs. And while we don't actually ever see a ball being kicked, Offside still manages to achieve its goals: it won the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival — Berlin being, ironically, the city that played host to the 2006 World Cup final.

The former Bianconeri star feels the Serie A champions could spring a surprise in European club football's elite competition after impressing in their Chelsea opener
The former France international, who wore the Juve jersey from 2000 until 2010, was impressed with their performance in their Group E opener against Chelsea, and believes they have a number of world-class players in their squad.
"Juventus really impressed me against Chelsea. They are a united team and are very well organised. They can go all the way in the Champions League if they can keep up their current form," Trezeguet was quoted as saying by Tuttosport.
"The team's spine is of the highest level. Players such as Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Pirlo and Mirko Vucinic are all world-class."
The 34-year-old then voiced his opinion that Juventus lack a real finisher, but added that it is up to the coach to decide whether to field a typical striker or not.
"They don't have a player with my characteristics, a real finisher. I had faith in Alessandro Matri after his good start, but I don't know what's happened with him.
"It all depends on what the coach needs, though. He decides what kind of player he wants to field."
Trezeguet scored over 100 goals in Serie A during his spell with the Serie A champions.

I was recently diagnosed with RA and my pain moves from feet to back to hands- depending on the day. I have digestive issues that rule out oral medications, so I must rely on topical and natural products for relief. When my feet are particularly problematic first thing in the morning, I use this product and am then able to move about to start my day. It provides enough relief that I can get dressed and start my day-- does not burn, and provides immediate relief for me. Would recommend if you need temporary relief.

I had found a sample packet at work and tried it. I was hooked. So ordered myself 2 tubes of this. I am on my feet 8 or more hours a day and have arthritis. I tend to get a lot of Charlie horses in my calves and inner thighs. The minute I feel the tightening in the muscles I apply Pain Relief Cream to that area and the Charlie horses do not appear. Also my ankles tend swell at the joint and then they have this constant ache to them. I rub some of this cream on them and that ache goes away. The swelling also goes down some. I was a strong supporter of BioFreeze but now all I use is the TriDerma products.

I have been suffering from Plantar Fasciitis for about a year now and the Pain Relief Cream really helps relieve the aching I get a night. It also helps with the stiffness in my fingers. My Podiatrist said she couldn't recommend anything better. I am so happy I came across this product.

With these top 100 starters for 2017 fantasy baseball, I've finished our (my) 2017 fantasy baseball rankings for positions. Still coming will be a top 100 overall and top 500 to see how all the positions mesh together like your mesh Redskins jersey that meshes with your burgundy sweatpants. Trust me, when you see how long this post is, you'll be glad I kept this intro short. As always, my projections are included, and where I see tiers starting and stopping. If you want an explanation of tiers, go back to the top 10 overall and start this shizz all over again. Anyway, here's the top 100 starters for 2017 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Matt Cain
Twenty-six years after my Lord and Savior, Reggie Jackson, retired from professional baseball to collect cars, full-length fur coats and start a business where you use cocktail franks as cocktail stirrers, I saw a young Mariner by the name of Brad Miller. To this day, when you Google "Brad Miller sleeper," you still see archival footage of Grey's massive excitement — that's not what she said! I was jazzed back in 2013 because Miller had hit 20 HRs, stole 11 bases and over .300 between the majors and minors. Then 2014 and 2015 happened, Miller did nothing, and I retreated into my cubby hole of snack food that I eat out of sight from my Cougar wife. "I'm snacking on kale, baby doll!" "Grey, you sound louder than usual." I was being amplified due to eating a nacho cheese Bugle. Finally, this year I was sure not to own Miller anywhere. So, of course, he breaks out. Yesterday, Brad Miller went 3-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 25th homer, 5th homer this week, while hitting .265. On our 30-day Player Rater, Miller is 5th most valuable for hitters. The top 4 –> Blackmon, Hamilton, Braun, Betts. Yeah, pretty good company, like Reggie's cocktail frank stirrers' company, The Dog That Stirs The Drink, Inc. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Indians traded Clint Frazier, Justus Sheffield, Ben Heller and J.P. Feyereisen for Andrew Miller. A regular Thanksgiving bounty to the Yankees as the Indians received SAGNOF and smallpox. Hopefully, the Indians don't have reservations later about those prospects they sent for Miller and want them back like, um, a regretful trade partner. For a second this weekend, it appeared that the Indians traded for Miller and Jonathan Lucroy, but Lucroy vetoed the trade. Looks like Milwaukee is a bunch of Brewer-givers. Will say this, it was a bold trade by Cleveland vs. sitting around Indian-style as they did all offseason. So, Miller becomes the de facto closer in Cleveland, and remains a top five closer in fantasy. Cody Allen gets his value boinked on the head and it's now seeing stars. Mean's while, in New York, Dellin Betances becomes the 9th inning man for the Yankees and, taking over setup, is their newly acquired, Tyler Clippard. That's right, the Yankee Clippard! Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Oh man! So close to a Joel Youngblood sighting! Melvin Upton was traded from the Padres to the Blue Jays, a team they are currently facing. Is it me or does it seem like this year the teams are so cheap, they're not even using their cell minutes. If they're playing against a team, then they're trading with them. That's it. Surprised the Indians haven't been more active then. Ya know, cause they could use smoke signals. By the way, nothing you could ever say about Native Americans is more racist than a team being called Redskins or the Indians' mascot. So, go ahead, try! Melvin Upton shook the B.J. name, but you can't take the Upton out of the B.J.'s, Blue Jays, that is. The trade of Upton takes him from a mediocre team to a solid offensive team, but moves him from the middle of the order to the lower third of the order and potentially even hurts his playing time if the Jays want to get Smoak into the lineup. I'm gonna say all things being equal, it's a push, which technically means all things are equal, so there! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?"Naquin the Chef looks determined without being ruthless. Something heroic in his manner. There's a courage about him. Comes across so calm. Acts like he has a dream. Full of passion. Well, you know why. Knock homers out of the box all the time. Pitches know his repertoire, big fly. Yeah, straight up, Naquin mess your whole team up. It's for real though, ball connect with stick, ditto. We could trade places, ball lifted run around the bases. Word up, peace, infatuated redfaces." I almost didn't write the title of the Naquin the Chef song, Infatuated Redfaces, but then I was like, "There's a team named Redskins and a mascot named Chief Wahoo, I think I'm all right." Yesterday, Tyler Naquin kept it going with the insane run he's been on — 3-for-4, 6 RBIs with two homers (11, 12). He now has six homers in the last ten games. That's six homers in July to go with his six homers in June. As I said back in spring training when I saw Naquin play, he had a nice stroke against righties, but looked kinda gnarly vs. lefties. Looks like a 17/17 player that needs to platoon. Right now, his power's way above that, but will likely come down to earth at some point. Of course, I'd still own him now. Word up, peace, infatuated redfaces. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Aw, man, now we're left with the ominous team updates of "Giancarlo Stanton is not in lineup, no other news available." I think I need to have a talk with him. Maybe I'll hide in the trunk of his car and get out when he parks in his four-car garage, then go in through the kitchen that's got the espresso machine on the left; not the kitchen with the soft-serve machine. What? I memorized his Cribs episode, I never snuck in his house. So, times are rough for Giancarlo. The Marlins score 13 runs and he's not even playing. Holy sit! Giancarlo has the lowest batting average for a qualified hitter. Things are so bad, the other day he hit the hardest recorded ball in StatCast history, 123.9 MPH, and it was a double play. Digging through his numbers is a little bit encouraging. His BABIP is way below his career mark; he's hitting .192, but could hit .250 the rest of the way. You don't get him for average; it's homers you desire like I desire him. His ground balls are through the roof. Not literally, unless we're talking about roofs of ant farms. All he's hitting is fly balls and ground balls. His line drive rate is poor. He usually kills fastballs. So far, he's a negative on them. That was his bread and butter, and right now he's toast. He's 26 years old; this should be the prime of his beef. Instead, he's been getting a steady diet of sliders. That's not real beef! What I think is going on, he's dealing with some health issues after his collision with OZUNA, he's not spitting on sliders and waiting for fastballs. Then when he gets a fastball, he hits it hard, but gets unlucky. Can all of this be changed with me appearing mysteriously in his Snuggie? I'm not sure. The health is an unknown question mark. Eventually, he should get luckier and do damage on some fastballs, assuming he's healthy. I wouldn't count him out, but health has been an issue for him in the past. If I were able to get a tasty offer for someone buying him, I could see letting him be someone else's problem. For now, I will wait in his bathroom wearing a shirt that matches his wallpaper, and try to 'talk' some encouragement into him. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?I'll admit Wei-Yin and Win might be a bit of a stretch, but I've got winning on my mind and all of us grinders just want to "win, win, win, no matter what." Wei-Yin Chen at $8,000 gets his shot at the Padres tonight and I'd say "Just Win Baby", but he better do a lot more than that considering the matchup. Coming into the year, Chen looked like he was primed to have a big season as he moved away from Camden Homerun Yards and into the NL's largest park. Unfortunately Chen hasn't delivered on that preseason hype, but he was responsible for bruising J-Fer's ego by getting the Opening Day nod. Outside of his 12 K performance against the Brewers last month, he's been mediocre at best, topping out at 5 K's vs Pit and Atl. I love exploiting teams coming off that Rockie Mountain High and at the discounted price tag of 8K vs an already bad Padres offense, I'll take him in both cash and tourney play for tonight. I'm torn between pairing Chen with Max Scherzer vs the Cubs at $12,200 or Zack Greinke at $11,200 vs the Dodgers. I haven't rostered Greinke all year, especially at home, but he seems like he's finally settled into the terrible AZ jerseys nabbing 5 W's in his last 5 starts with 29 K's and a 1.89 ERA. Mad Max looks like he's back on track too, but I think Greinke will be under owned due to his struggles at home, so I'm rolling with the Zack Attack. I'd by lying if I said I loved the Greinke matchup, but he's facing his former team, so I anticipate a huge effort out of him tonight.

Please, blog, may I have some more?On Saturday, our prayers were answered. No, not the prayer about winning Powerball. Or the prayer about sweatpants becoming the new formalwear. Or the prayer about muttonchops being some magical aphrodisiac. Or the prayer about your mom forgetting that time you accidentally sexted her. Or that prayer about being as successful in real life as you are in fantasy. No, not those. The prayer about Yu Darvish returning and looking as dominant as ever. On Saturday, he threw the fastest pitch of his major league career, throwing three pitches for more than 98 MPH. The line of 5 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 7 Ks was solid, but I imagine this will be the start of him reaffirming his place in the top 10 starter conversation. Kevin from ESPN's "Get Him In Your Lineup" Department sang, "Yu, Yu got what I need…Yu say he just spends Yen…Yu say he just spends Yen…But baby Yuuuuuu,Yu got what I need!" Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Greetings! Ahhh, nothing quite like receiving the honor of writing the Friday night roundup. I imagine its quite similar to receiving the Medal of Honor, the Purple Heart, or maybe a Nobel Peace Prize. It certainly feels a heckuva lot better than the pride of Julio Urias' owners on this fine Saturday. Yeah, Urias was a real spark plug for Dodger nation last night..Sorry, did I say spark plug? I meant butt plug. They were hoping for Justin Timberlake, but instead received JC Chavez. We all expected Christian Bale, but the performance was more Christian Slater. 2.3 innings pitched with three earned and four walks sounds more like Jorge De La Rosa than Jose Fernandez. With that being said, I'm not concerned with the outing whatsoever. That's also possibly because I don't own him anywhere, and don't really care either way. Best of luck to you all though, my goodmen!
Anyway, here's what else I noticed yesterday in fantasy baseball. Take heed!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Nothing is a better, giant surprise than a Rubby in the morning!
Rubby De La Rosa has always been a guy with a power fastball and plus slider, but it's never been enough. Ks haven't been there, he couldn't get lefties out, and he's looked more and more like Nathan Eovaldi rather than "the next big thing". But after yesterday's outing, Rubby has somehow limited lefties to a .162 average and only allowed 1 homer in 87 LH batters faced. Compare that to last year, when lefties murdered him for .315 and 20 homers in 410 batters faced.
After a pretty brutal start – including 3 relief appearances due to the D'backs bullpen being overtaxed – I really didn't think too much about Rubby and his upside. Kinda thought "he is who we thought he is!" Wait, that's a different Arizona sports team… His last 5 starts have been really good with solid Ks, but I thought for sure the Giants with their bevy of lefties would crash the party. Alas, we got a Giant surprise! Here's how Rubby looked yesterday afternoon in Zona against those Gigantes:

The Best Hairstyles with BangsIf you're thinking about getting bangs, here's the key: You have to find a hairstyle that'll flatter your face shape. Here's the info you need |
Best bangs for you: Full, blunt fringe
Square shapes can definitely wear a full fringe, says Thomas. The bangs shouldn't be cut too far towards the outer edge of the eyes -- they have to be kept narrower in the center. "As a guide, I like to use the top of the eyebrow arch to the other eyebrow arch, but not any farther," he explains. He also suggests adding layers that hit below your chin, which will help elongate your face.
Celeb to Copy: Nicole Richie
Pro Tip: "Make sure you blow dry your bangs with a flat brush, straight down so that they sit a little bit flatter to the head. This way you will avoid bubble bangs," says Thomas.

Taylor Swifts bangs are the best. They couldn't be more flattering. Why aren't her bangs included in this?

Borrowing from French gauche ("left, awkward"), from gauchir ("to veer, turn"), from Old French gaucher ("to trample, walk clumsily"), from Frankish *walkan ("to full, trample"), from Proto-Germanic *walkaną ("to full, roll up"). Akin to Old High German walchan ("to knead"), Old English wealcian ("to roll up, curl"), Old Norse valka ("to drag about"). More at walk.
gauche (comparative more gauche, superlative most gauche)
- Awkward or lacking in social graces; bumbling.
- 19th century, Samuel Griswold Goodrich (1793-1860), The Spirit Court of Practice and Pretence:
- Seeking by vulgar pomp and gauche display
- In 'good society', to make her way
- 1879, George Meredith, The Egoist, chapter XLVI
- She looked a trifle gauche, it struck me; more like a country girl with the hoyden taming in her than the well-bred creature she is.
- 1895, H.G. Wells, The Wonderful Visit, Chapter 18:
- "He's a trifle gauche" said Lady Hammergallow, jumping upon the Vicar's attention. "He neither bows nor smiles. He must cultivate oddities like that. Every successful executant is more or less gauche."
- 19th century, Samuel Griswold Goodrich (1793-1860), The Spirit Court of Practice and Pretence:
- (mathematics, archaic) Skewed, not plane.
- (chemistry) Describing a torsion angle of 60°
- (lacking in social graces): graceless, tactless, unsophisticated, unpolished, gawky
- (lacking in social graces): adroit
From gauchir ("warp, distort"), a conflation of Old French gauchier ("tread") (from Frankish *walkijan, *walkan, cognate with English walk) + Old French guenchir ("deviate") (from Frankish *wenkjan ("sway, falter")). Gauche replaced the original word for "left", senestre, in the sixteenth century.
gauche m, f (plural gauches)
gauche f (plural gauches)
- the left, the left-hand side
gauche m (plural gauches)
- (boxing) a left-hander, a southpaw
- (left): droite

I have also picked (using the random generator) a second and third place winner. Second place is Karen, number 60 in the comments list and she wrote " Love the Tree skirt, and colors.. Great blogsite too!! Karen I will contact you for your address so I can send you the magazine issue as promised! Oh this is fun.
My third place winner was randomly generated for number 2! That is Celcelia who wrote, "I love this tree skirt! I've been wanting to make one for myself, but haven't found one I like. I really like yours, especially the fact that I don't have to match points. :) Thank you for the chance to win."
I'll contact you as well today for your address so I can mail you your new magazine.
Thanks to all of you who visited my blog for a chance to win. Don't forget there are more tours after mine so you still have a chance to win! Stay with it--you just never know when your number will come up!
Ok, so I have to share more quiling stuff with you this morning. I just finished a traditional quilt I designed from RJR's Incense and Peppermints line by Robyn Pandolph that will be available soon! A couple of weeks ago, I went to a wonderful class with Kim Diehl, and I have to admit she is one of my favorite teachers! I learned a whole new way to applique using several techniques I've used before but put together in a whole new way. I love it! So I had to make some applique blocks of course, plus a few yo yo's and I just shipped the quilt yesterday! So exciting! I'll share some sneak peak views for you here.
You use freezer paper templates, but instead of ironing the waxy side to the wrong side of the fabric, you glue stick the center of the paper side to the wrong side of your fabric. Carefully trim around your template leaving a 1/4" seam. The sides of the freezer paper will be loose, so use small scissors and keep rotating the edges in your hand while you trim. Then the fun part begins. Lay your piece right side down on a hard pressing surface, and using a small iron, (I perfer the Rowenta iron) press the edges to the waxy side of the freezer paper! Fabulous! You need very few snips to inner corners--like ONE-- and none to the outer curves! On outer corners press over one side, then the next and then using a dot of liquid basting glue, tuck under the point carefully and press to set the glue.
Now it's time to lay out your pieces. Fold an inner crease corner to corner on your background square to give you placement registration marks and work from the bottom pieces to the top. Put tiny dots of glue along the pressed over seam allowance only, and press in place! This holds all the pieces in place so you don't have to make your background block larger. This eliminates trimming your block to size after the applique is done. By the way, I have always used bias bars for any stems, they work wonderfully!
Sew the edges of your applique pieces, one layer at a time under the sewing machine using a tiny zig zag stitch, setting about 1.0 width and 1.0 length, using a cotton thread in the bobbin and a monofilament thread on top. One swing of the needle goes on the outside edge of the applique, the other into the applique. You will stop and turn frequently so a hands free system on your sewing machine works well (a knee lever to lift the presser foot). Well, I couldn't stop there so I made a pile of yo yo's and sewed them on (this time by hand) for the flowers! This was the most fun I've ever had with applique! It's usually so time consuming, and this was a pleasure to work on. I highly recommend all of Kim Diehl's books where she gives much more detailed instructions to the process, and some beautiful quilt designs too.
It's amazing to me what just four applique blocks can do to add interest to a quilt. You'll be seeing a lot more applique work from me in the future!
Have a great day and keep quilting!!

I think the adverb warning system is a bit touchy, but sometimes total abstinence is easier than perfect moderation. And after reading many new writers, I'd say that the complete eradication of adverbs makes for a much better story. That being said, I agree that adverbs are useful and they can do wonderful things when used sparingly by a writer who first learns how to get along without them.
ReplyDeleteI read a book recently littered with adverbs--like 10 to a page. All I could think was "Why does this author get to use adverbs and I don't" **pout**. But I will say that working to removed as many adverbs as I can has made me a much better writer. Thanks for the post. I love School House Rock :)
ReplyDeleteThe thing I try to remember with adverbs is that they're a form of laziness: they manifest most often when I don't want to go to the trouble of setting up the scene so that the meaning conveyed by the adverbs is already obvious.
I'm trying to fix that monster sentence so that it makes more sense, but can't. Sorry. :)- AnonymousJuly 26, 2011 at 12:30 PM
Well said Robin Weeks. Read a book just the other day where it had 68 instances of the word Suddenly. That was just one adverb. I also read a book by a NY best selling author and it contained two adverbs. In fact most NYBS don't use them often. That says alot.

Supreme Court Is "On Target"
The United States Supreme Court has issued three very important decisions in the last few days, and for the first time in a long time, I agree with all three decisions. All of the decisions were reached by a 5-4 vote. I wish the votes had been a little more lop-sided, but I guess you can't have everything.
Last week, the court restored habeas corpus rights to the Guantanamo detainees. This restored the "rule of law" by guaranteeing that anyone in U.S. custody can appeal their detention to a United States court. No one can be detained indefinitely without justification. This was a much-needed step in restoring America's reputation as a nation based on laws, rather than the whim of a ruling dictator.
Two days ago, the court struck down the penalty of capital punishment for child rape. They made it clear that the death penalty would only be tolerated in cases where there was a loss of life. Child rape is a heinous crime, but it can be handled with very long prison sentences.
This decision may actually save the lives of the abused children. If an offender already faced the death penalty, what would stop them from taking the life of the young witness? Now, if they take that young life, they will know their sentence can be upped to the death penalty.
Yesterday's decision cleared up a long-standing argument over whether the second amendment gave individuals the right of gun ownership, or whether that right was reserved to a militia. The court came down on the side of the individual. They said the opening phrase of the amendment (regarding militias) simply gave one of the reasons why individual citizens are guaranteed the right of gun ownership.
As the victim of a gunshot wound during the commission of a crime, I am not crazy about the ease with which criminals can get guns. I would be personally happy if all handguns were to disappear tomorrow. But I can read, and I believe it's pretty obvious the court made the right decision -- the Constitution gives the right to own guns to individuals (so they can form a militia if needed).
Some people were worried that this decision would erase all our nation's gun laws, but the majority on the court did not make their decision that far-reaching. Speaking for the majority, Justice Scalia said, "Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."
This decision leaves in tact such laws as denying guns to convicted felons and the mentally ill, mandating a waiting period for a gun purchase, the registration of guns, requiring a license to carry a gun and the outlawing of guns such as machine guns. I'm sure that some will try to contest these laws, but I don't think they will get far. This decision was about guaranteeing the right of ownership, not about the invalidation of reasonable laws.
The court guaranteed Americans the right to own a gun, but it did not give them permission to be stupid and abuse that right.
3 comments:
I'm not one who is generally inclined to give too much credit to the Roberts Supreme Court, but I think they got it totally right on the 2nd Amendment ruling. I think that our fellow Democrats would be wise to recognize that while most people support reasonable gun control measures, they are overwhelmingly in favor of the individual right to bear arms.

Well we have a second agreement on one thing at least. After the last two stupid rulings, I was really afraid of what might happen to the second ammed.

There has been some good news recently on the injuries that have plagued the Celtics so far this season. Jermaine O'Neal is back to practicing and is targeting a return before Christmas. Shaq has been a warrior at the center spot, playing through pain and a return by Jermaine will allow the big guy to get a bit more rest and heal up himself. Another bit of good news is the fact that Delonte said that even though he is just 6 days removed from the surgery on his wrist, he is ahead of schedule in his healing. He is healing so quickly, he won't even need a hard cast on it. The last time he broke that wrist, he was back in 6 weeks. It's not out of line to think he may be back on a similar time table with this break.
After originally targeting January for a return, Perk has said that he will probably play it safe and more than likely be back in February. If JO and Shaq and Semih can hold the fort until February, I think it's wise for him not to try to rush back. We need him at 100% for the playoffs and February will give him plenty of time to get back to top form. And I've said it before but I expect Perk to come back better than ever. He's been working hard on his free throws and his offensive moves. Those were always the knocks on him. We all know he is one of the top defensive centers in the league (second only to Howard) and when he comes back, I can see him with a much stronger game on offense.
Speaking of Perk, I'm always coming across threads on other boards where fans want to go after Perk in the off season. I posted before one that I found on a Raptors' board where they felt that he should be the top priority for their club to pursue. Now I found one on a Knicks board where they feel the Knicks should go hard after Perk and offer him $10 million per year. With the price of centers these days, $10 million would still be a bargain for him. As with everything sports related, there are some posters for and some against. But one statement makes a lot of sense and that is that the Celtics should make signing Perk a priority since center is a tough position to fill. I can't think of any other centers that will be available that will be better than Perk.
Big Baby is making a strong case as Sixth Man of the Year. Red invented the role of Sixth Man and the Celtics perfected it. It would be very fitting for it to be back with the Celtics this season. While his minutes and role may decrease somewhat when Perk comes back, he is still going to play a very valuable role going into the playoffs.
Another Celtic proving to be valuable is Nate Robinson. He has filled in admirably for Rondo while he rests his sore hamstring and feet. The plantar fasciitis may be an ongoing thing that needs rest from time to time and Nate has proved that he is ready to do whatever he is called on to do. And Avery Bradley proved in the last game that he can contribute. I loved his defense. Tenacious is a word that comes to mind. I say that we should rest Rondo now and let Nate and Avery get the playing time and if we lose a game or two now, it's not the end of the world. These two have proved that if the rest of the team shows up, they can still win without Rondo. Having Rondo come into the stretch going into the playoffs with sore feet or a torn hamstring would be a very bad thing. Get Rondo healthy and then bring him back. He might not like sitting, but it would be for the best of the team.
Wednesday's game marks the return of another former Celtic to the Garden. Shelden Williams has won the starting PF job in Denver and I couldn't be happier for him. He was always a class act in Boston. Never complained but was always ready to do whatever he was asked to do. He always reached out to the fans and was very accessible. I'm glad to see him doing well in Denver. But, I still hope his team loses this one.
I saw a headline this morning that made me laugh. It was "What's Wrong with Ron Artest?" I mean, there could be books written on that topic, not just one article. I doubt that they will find an easy answer for that one. Solving the Riemann Hypothesis might be an easier task.
And I'll close with a Happy Birthday wish to Larry Legend. Larry Bird was born 54 years ago today and he has given the presents to Celtics fans with 3 titles. I love watching footage of Larry play. It's poetry in motion. I agree with Magic. There will never, ever be another Larry Bird. I'll leave you with a video of Larry's 47 point game against Portland that he played entirely left handed just for fun.
5 Responses so far.
Wow. His name fits perfect - Larry LEGEND!! or Larry LEFT HANDED! ;)
Cool to see Bird, DJ, Parish, Walton, Danny and the Old Celts play!
I wish we could see:
Shaq, KG, Pierce, Ray, & Rondo vs
Russell, Bird, McHale, DJ, & Cousy
wow, that would be a game huh.. -
Thanks, FL for giving us the gift...loved seeing the game again! Happy Birthday, Larry...
You said:
"We all know he is one of the top defensive centers in the league (second only to Howard) and when he comes back, I can see him with a much stronger game on offense."
I'm with you on the defense but why could you possibly see him with a stronger game on offense? If anything I expect his minimal offensive game (which isn't even catch and dunk but more like "hopefully catch, not move his feet, and dunk") to have regressed considering he hasn't been playing. -
I disagree last Anonymous. Maybe you're confusing Perkins with Alex Ajinca or Erik Dampier or Ryan Hollins. Perkins has developed a very solid up and under move, his fall away jumper has continued to improve. And while he's not Olajuwon by any means in the block, he's a lot closer to Dwight Howard than someone like Jerome James.

An old, simple game between two players. A certain number of matchsticks (or stones, paper clips, etc.) are arranged in rows. The standard starting position is the 1-3-5-7 position, in which the first row has one object, the second has three, the third has five, and the fourth row has seven objects. The players take turns removing at least one object from any one row. The object of the game is to prevent your opponent from being able to make a move when it is his or her turn. This is done by taking the last object, leaving the playing area empty.

Normal surgical lasers aren't very precise. Heat from their pulses tends to build up and vaporize healthy tissue. That makes them lousy for delicate tasks like brain surgery, where all the tissue is, you know, important. So engineer Adela Ben-Yakar, an assistant professor at the University of Texas who cut her teeth in rocket science—designing supersonic engines for scramjets—decided to come up with a laser capable of vaporizing individual cells, one at a time.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
Using a so-called femtosecond laser, her device emits ultrafast light pulses that don't have enough time to damage surrounding tissue. While femtosecond lasers themselves aren't exactly new—they're standard gear for laser eye surgery—Ben-Yakar is the first to figure out how to make one small enough to be used inside a person. Her blaster fits in a 15-mm surgical probe that shoots the laser's light through a crystal fiber (similar to a fiber-optic strand).
Paired with another fiber for microimaging, it lets surgeons work through a small incision and burn off individual cells in places like the pituitary gland (normally accessed rather awkwardly through the nose) and the spinal cord, which is hidden behind bundles of sensitive neurons and axons.
"The laser turns the targeted cell into atomic dust," Ben-Yaker says. And the surrounding tissue? Untouched. Not bad for a second career. We're hoping her next project is a supersonic jet with a laser.
