Most comfortable flamethrower ever
By ABQ Wanderer on Wednesday, July 31, 2019Q5 Prestige with Warm Weather package (Sport Seat both front seats identical with cool ventilation). Riding on air. There is no other way to put it. The sport seats difference other than cooling is "wings" that hold your butt and back in place, a 24 position electric adjustment on BOTH identical front seats with thigh support extenders, excellent for a couple with very bad backs. Power: watch out for fishtailing as you can feel G forces when accelerating, if you want. When researching a replacement for our sloppy 2017 Pilot I noticed most owners of other new vehicles in the south were complaining about AC unable to keep up with the Florida, Texas and desert heats. No problem here, the Q5 has more cool air than needed here at 5200' in the sunny July southwest desert. Instrumentation is terrific with heads up display, maps and routing directly in front of the driver. (What is more ridiculous than the cars that put the map in the center stack and aim it straight to the rear of the car? Who is sitting on the shift to look forward at the map?) Moving on, the interior materials scream quality. Plenty of rear legroom for a knee replacement patient and headroom not a problem anywhere. Rear seats recline a couple inches. Owners manual very well written with detail. You can spend an evening laughing hysterically at the index though. Looking to program the garage door opener? Look in a subcategory under "O", "Open and Close"! It goes on, and kept us looking up things just to laugh at where they are. Summarizing: most comfortable luxurious road rocket I've ever owned.

Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. As we come unto Him, He saves us, helps us feel His love, and brings us hope. His role is to save us and provide an example for us.
We each come to this world with the divine Light of Christ inside us, with the ability to recognize truth about ourselves and about the Savior. Much like little children, Jesus Christ is deeply empathetic, so much so that He was capable of taking on the anguish, regret, and pain of all of our sins. He suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross under an immeasurable weight to ransom us from our mortal burdens.
After three days Jesus Christ overcame death, emerging from the tomb resurrected and winning for us that same reward; He made possible our own resurrection, the permanent union of our spirit and perfected physical body. Jesus was sent by His Father to offer eternal life to all of His children; His sacrifice empowers the plan of salvation.
Jesus Christ was both divine and mortal, being the Only Begotten Son of God but also having a body of flesh and blood. He and His Father are one in purpose, but They are two separate beings.
The Only Begotten Son was born to the Virgin Mary, and Jesus Christ fulfilled ancient prophecies and covenants between God and His people. During Christ's ministry, He endowed priesthood and leadership authority upon many of His worthy followers on the earth and taught divine truths that were recorded in sacred scriptures. He administered saving temporal ordinances such as baptism, which He Himself submitted to though He had never sinned. The Savior did this because He asks us to follow Him in all things. He ministered to the sick and to the sinners with pure love and compassion. That compassion extends to each of us through the Atonement, a gift that satisfies the scales of justice by paying for our transgressions—a gift only Jesus Christ could have given.
By humbling ourselves, exercising faith on His name, repenting, and keeping His commandments, we can receive the blessings of the Savior's atoning sacrifice. Before His ministry began, Jesus Christ was a carpenter, and in many ways, He still is. Christ's skilled, patient hands can transform us if we remain teachable, even as little children. In Matthew 18:4, the Savior taught, "Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." When we become humble and rely on our Savior, we come to understand a great truth about ourselves: there is an inherent divinity—the Light of Christ—in each of us.
That light witnesses to the truthfulness of His gospel, which contains all of the principles, laws, covenants, ordinances, and doctrine we need to return and live with our Heavenly Father.
The word gospel literally means "good news," and how could the gospel of Jesus Christ be otherwise? The fundamental gospel elements are these: faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. Throughout the history of humankind, God's prophets have preached Christ's gospel. In 1830 Jesus Christ restored His gospel for our day through a prophet named Joseph Smith. The Lord instructed Joseph Smith to bring forth and translate the ancient scriptural text known as the Book of Mormon. The Savior also restored the keys of the priesthood and the saving ordinances that are required for His Church to accomplish His work again on earth. The Prophet Joseph Smith received revelation from God, as have all his successors, and during their lives they have all taught the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of their time. The current prophet does so today. From each of these prophets we learn what is required of us to become more like God and to prepare to live with Him again.
There are five fundamentals of Christ's gospel. The first is faith in Jesus Christ. It isn't enough to believe in Christ; we also have to believe Him—believe that we can be made whole through His Atonement and that we are worthy of such a gift. Through faith, our minds and hearts are opened, and the words of the gospel find room to settle into our hearts. Such faith and humility bring about the second principle of the gospel: repentance. We want to correlate our actions with our beliefs, to align our behavior with our thoughts, so not only do we seek sincere forgiveness for previous misdeeds, but we also actively turn toward Christ and a new way of living our lives.
This commitment to a "new" way of living is demonstrated through the act of baptism by immersion.
The third fundamental of the doctrine of Christ is baptism by immersion. Baptism is a symbolic ordinance of cleansing that signifies our rebirth as disciples of Christ and followers of His gospel. We join His Church and make sacred covenants to God. We then receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, which is the fourth fundamental of Christ's gospel, and our sins are forgiven. As a member of the Godhead, the Holy Ghost is one with God and Jesus Christ in character and in purpose. He is the conduit of Their love and knowledge, and He is given to us as a constant companion if we remain worthy. He speaks to us in a still, small voice to communicate to us the will of God and to provide guidance and direction. As the Apostles of Christ did when they were on the earth, priesthood holders today place their hands on the heads of the newly baptized and confer the gift of the Holy Ghost upon them.
While the ordinances of baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost may seem almost momentary in their brevity, the process of following the gospel itself is one of enduring commitment, a promise we make to retain the freshness of conversion always and to constantly recommit ourselves. Enduring to the end is the fifth fundamental of the gospel that eventually leads to salvation. Taking the sacrament weekly is an important part of this process, and each time we partake of the bread and water, we remember Jesus Christ and His Atonement and we remember to keep the commandments of the restored gospel.
Jesus Christ leads His restored Church today, which is why the Church bears His name—The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Jesus Christ is assisted by earthly Apostles now as He was during His ministry. The Book of Mormon, which was kept and preserved to be brought forth in our day, is another witness of Jesus Christ. It includes teachings of the Savior and clarifies many aspects of the gospel. It also tells of His visit to the Americas, where He taught the people and called Apostles as He had done in Israel; this is another witness that the Savior's message is for everyone. Today, around the world, some 80,000 young missionaries are bringing this testament of Christ to all who will receive it, allowing the book's truth about the Redeemer and about the inherent divinity of each of us to be confirmed by the Light of Christ inside them. That light is in us; it is part of what binds us together.
Millions of people know about Jesus Christ. Is it enough to know who Jesus is and His role in our Heavenly Father's plan? That knowledge is really only the beginning.
Understanding and embracing Jesus Christ's role as Savior is key to every Christian faith. And it requires more than having a theoretical belief that He lived and accomplished great things. It requires having confidence that He was indeed resurrected and that He suffered not only death but also spiritual pain for our sins.
Jesus felt the pain, guilt, and suffering we experience as a consequence of wrong choices. More importantly, He accepted responsibility and paid the price for our wrongdoings on earth—if we in turn sincerely repent and accept His commandments and divine role as Redeemer. When we do so, we are released from our sins. We can be spiritually clean and worthy to enter the presence of God.
That's a complex concept—one that can be hard to fathom from our limited perspective. But it's possible. The sublime peace that our Heavenly Father wants us to have is also available to us right now because of the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ.
How is spiritual and emotional relief possible?
While we cannot come unto Christ physically as the first disciples did, we can come unto Him by searching the scriptures. We can come to know of Him through the testimonies of living prophets and followers. We can be assured of His existence through the Comforter, the Holy Ghost.
"Most of us will not see God, as the prophets have, but the still, small promptings of the Spirit—the thoughts and feelings that the Holy Ghost brings into our minds and hearts—will give us an undeniable knowledge that He lives and that He loves us" (Robert D. Hales, "Seeking to Know God, Our Heavenly Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ," Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2009, 32).
Jesus Christ knows each of us personally. If we but reach out, we can know Him too.

Olof Palme
Olof Palme, in full Sven Olof Joachim Palme, (born January 30, 1927, Stockholm, Sweden—died February 28, 1986, Stockholm), prime minister of Sweden (1969–76, 1982–86), prominent leader of the Swedish Social Democratic Workers' Party (Sveriges Socialdemokratiska Arbetar Partiet), Sweden's oldest continuing party. He became Sweden's best-known international politician.
Born into a wealthy Stockholm family, Palme studied at Kenyon College, Ohio, U.S. (B.A., 1948), and obtained a law degree from Stockholm University in 1951. An active member of the Social Democrats from the early 1950s, Palme became Prime Minister Tage Erlander's personal secretary in 1953 and entered the Swedish Parliament in 1958. Palme joined the Social Democratic government in 1963 as minister without portfolio. In 1965 he advanced to the post of minister of communication and in 1967 to the dual post of minister of education and ecclesiastical affairs. He succeeded Erlander as party secretary and as prime minister in 1969. Soon afterward his attacks on U.S. war policy in Vietnam and his acceptance of U.S. Army deserters who sought refuge in Sweden led to strained relations between his country and the United States. (He denied the deserters official political refugee status, however, saying that one could not be a refugee from a free country.)
The 1976 general election resulted in the defeat of the Social Democrats after 44 years in power. Between terms in office Palme continued to be active in his party and maintained his strong pacifist stance. He also had close personal relations with European Social Democratic politicians such as Bruno Kreisky of Austria and Willy Brandt of West Germany. He served as president of the Nordic Council from 1979 to 1980, chaired the Independent Commission on Disarmament and Security in Geneva, and acted as UN special envoy to mediate in the war between Iran and Iraq.
The nuclear accident in 1979 at Three Mile Island in the United States had a great impact in Sweden, and Palme contributed to a referendum (passed in 1980) to remove all nuclear reactors in Sweden. After being elected prime minister again in 1982, Palme tried to reinstate socialist economic policies in Sweden, and he continued to be outspoken on matters of European security.
Palme was assassinated by a gunman in 1986. Christer Pettersson, a man who had previously served jail time for manslaughter, was convicted of the crime in July 1989 and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, the conviction was overturned in an appeals court that October on the grounds that no murder weapon or motive had been discovered. Though an extensive investigation was conducted and numerous theories posited, the murder remains unsolved.

A strapping heart-breaker. That is how Marcel Wanders pictures the character that inspired this original nutcracker. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome the world's strongest man! With his barbell loaded with big golden balls to show off his amazing strength, his face grimacing from the effort, his muscles rippling and his feet planted firmly on the platform. Marcel Wanders has fun with this character, concealing the functional elements of the nutcracker within the design. The platform conceals the hollow where the nut is placed, turning the weights lowers the cursor and the lace-up boots typically sported by weight lifters form the element that actually cracks the nut.
Marcel Wanders grew up in Boxtel, the Netherlands, and graduated cum laude from the School of the Arts Arnhem in 1988. Marcel Wanders' fame started with his iconic Knotted Chair, which he produced for Droog Design in 1996. He is now ubiquitous, designing for the biggest European contemporary design manufacturers like B&B Italia, Bisazza, Poliform, Moroso, Flos, Boffi, Cappellini, Droog Design and Moooi of which he is also art director and co-owner. Founded in 2000, Moooi has grown into an internationally renowned design label. Additionally, Marcel Wanders works on architectural and interior design projects and recently turned his attention to consumer home appliances. Marcel was the editor of the International Design Yearbook 2005. In the same year, together with Chef Peter Lute, he established the extraordinary LUTE SUITES hospitality-concept, the first "all over city suites" hotel in the world. He also designed the interior of Blits, a new restaurant in Rotterdam and the interior of the restaurant 'Thor' at the Hotel on Rivington in New York including bar, lounge and private club. Marcel is the first and among the most important designers of Droog design. He was a juror for various prizes like the Rotterdam Design Prize (for which his own products were nominated several times) and the Kho Liang Ie prize. He lectured at SFMoMA, Limn, the Design Academy, Nike, IDFA, FutureDesignDays and has taught at various design academies in the Netherlands and abroad. Various designs of Marcel Wanders have been selected for the most important design collections and exhibitions in the world, like the Museum of Modern Art in New York and San Francisco, the V&A Museum in London, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Central Museum in Utrecht, Museum of Decorative Arts Copenhagen and various Droog Design exhibitions. Coverage on Marcel has been published in all leading design magazines and newspapers such as Domus, Interni, Blueprint, Design Report, Frame, I.D. magazine, Abitare, Wallpaper, Nylon, Elle decoration, Icon, Esquire, the International Herald Tribune, Washington Post, the Financial Times, the New York Times and Business Week.

Subscribe To The Bible Sequel Miniseries 'A.D.' Will Air On NBC In 2015 Updates
I've already subscribed
After the success of History's miniseries The Bible, it should come as no surprise that creators Mark Burnett and Roma Downey are looking to do a follow-up. But it won't be happening at History. The planned sequel miniseries, titled A.D., will make the leap from cable to network television, airing on NBC in 2015. The Peacock announced today that they've greenlit a 12-hour miniseries called A.D., which will come from Burnett and Downey, and serve as a follow-up to The Bible. If all goes as planned, the miniseries will air in the spring of 2015.
History's The Bible left off with the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the immediate aftermath of that event. From what NBC's Robert Greenblatt says in the network's official statement, A.D. will focus on the events that took place after Christ's death…
"Last year when Mark Burnett was launching 'The Bible' on cable, I told him, without hesitation, that if he wanted to tell more of the story, we'd love to do it at NBC. We are firmly in the 'event' business and nothing has more event potential than 'A.D.' as it continues immediately after the 'The Bible' ended. The heft of a broadcast network, combined with the promotional arms of NBCUniversal and Comcast, will push this miniseries to a mass audience. We value our relationship with Mark and Roma and know that no one could bring this story to life better than them."
The script for the miniseries will be written by Simon Block (The Shooting of Thomas Hurndall). A director has yet to be set, and NBC plans to announce casting at a later date.
The Bible brought in a total of 13.1 million viewers for its March 3 premiere on History when factoring in live-plus-same day viewing, with the final episode bringing in 11.7 million viewers. It's not hard to understand why NBC would take the opportunity to present the sequel, especially when we factor in what Greenblatt said about NBC being "firmly in the event business." The network did extremely well with their recent live broadcast of The Sound of Music Live!, and it's already looking like they're planning to do another live musical broadcast next year. NBC also announced that they're developing a four-hour Rosemary's Baby miniseries, adapted from Ira Levin's best-selling suspense novel.
NBC isn't the only network pushing forward with more event programming. Fox has Wayward Pines and 24: Live Another Day lined up, as well as a number of other projects in development, including a possible TV adaptation of Shogun. Meanwhile, ABC has the Cold War-set miniseries The Assets set to air next month. So TV viewers should expect to see more event programming on network TV in the coming years.
As for Burnett and Downey's next project, while we have more than a year to wait for A.D., Burnett and Downey have feature film Son of God set to arrive in theaters February 28.

How many people interested in ethics here put their ethics where their plate is, Whilst The religious masses have an excuse for eating the flesh of our fellow mammals and other species, What is your excuse!!!! ( unless of course you are already Vegan)...
Views: 1427
I am pretty sure that the deaths I have witnessed are indicative of the accuracy of the stats I mention.
Present science doesn't even agree on what is a low risk diet... cholesterol is loosing its the top position to grains
Science agrees that high cholesterol diets are a health risk, So do all those who do the autopsies.
As for grains It has long been known that gluten is a digestive problem. I personally don't consume wheat spelt or barley as my wife is celiac. I actually have a much healthier life because it prevents me from consuming junk food.
Autopsies merely show the presence of cardiovascular disease; they contribute NOTHING to the concept of WHY it occurs. The studies that blamed red meat and cholesterol were chosen by political representatives with no scientific background to push an agenda -- that is very clearly explained in Taubes' book. And ever since reading that book, and several others, I cast a jaundiced eye on ANY book or govt. policy that pushes one concept -- there are just too many variables, and nothing yet that incontrovertibly explains the facts. Meanwhile, I will eat in a way that preserves MY health as best as possible, and it AIN'T vegan.
The studies that blamed red meat and cholesterol were chosen by political representatives with no scientific background to push an agenda
So you hunk the Vegan lobby group is larger than that of the meat industry....come on you have a larger axe to grind than I do. At worst I am just depriving my self of easy protein, at best I am respecting the lives of other sentient beings. where as At best you are just murdering anther sentients and achieving easy protein from that, At word's you are violating any ethics you have and killing yourself at the same time. If you think your diet of meat and dairy is better for you than the vegan alternative you are ignorant, I would agree it might be easier though. Have a look at the acid levels created from the breakdown of animal products. Also have a look at the studies of seventh day eventists.
We are not carnivores, we are omnivores and have digestive tracts only adapted to tolerating small amounts of meat. As natural selection selects for procreation not old age, The fact that meat will reduce lifespan is not selected against. Meat consumption was clearly sporadic as b12 levels last in the system for years. In any case you would be silly to use evolutionary arguments if your goal is to live beyond middle age. Evolution will get you to 40, Science will get you to old age. The science says a plant based diet is healthier by a long shot. Have a look at "The china study" people in china that consumed no meat had 0 heart disease. The biggest argument for a vegan life is to prevent radical climate change, the elimination of animal production would have a more positive effect than taking every vehicle off the road!!!
Oh come now, the China study is a farce and has been multiply debunked. Percentage of meat in earlier humans was entirely dependent on geographic location. Moutain Ecuadorians had almost none, North American Indians had plenty of small trapped mammals/eals, etc in their diets. Other than NOT living fully, most humans only achieve longevity pas 'middle age' through being high maintenance and medicated. How many seniors do you know who are not under medical maintenance. Longevity is a high maintenance joke.
I can give ou an example of many seniors in australia who are receiving far more improvements in life from doctor guided diet change than pills. I have a hiatus hernia that required acid inhibitors for years, whilst I was Vegetarian My acid levels were high, Soon as I went vegan I no long needed Acid inhibitors.
As for the china study it has not been debunked, yes there were a view flaws but much of the data is very valid.
Most medication seniors are on is for cholesterol and heart issues caused by diet....
If you think you can just eat what ever you wan't and medicate in your old age, you are in for a rude shock. You do realise that most western world illness in middle age is self inflicted and not as genetically caused as you suggest. Smoke and it is likely you will die earlier than you would have, Drink and it is likely you will die earlier than you would have, eat poorly and it is likely that you will die earlier than you would have.....
The only question is....Are you being honest with yourself and do you really wan't to shorten your life?
Abuse of nicotine shortens a lifespan, but not limited use.
Abuse of alcohol shortens a lifespan, but limited amounts have been amply demonstrated to be beneficial.
So what if vegetarians live statistically a few more months than meat inclined folks. There are many behaviours with a much greater impact. Is all the fuss worth a few months, even if it were truly demonstrated, which it isn't... How much tweaking and fussing must we be coerced into?
The 'whatever you want' and 'medicate' attitude is what most people do. I'm somewhere in between, I've been moderately careful about behaviours, to the extent of convenience and budget, but NOT religious about any of these behaviours... I don't think the fuss is worth it.
I can say this with certainty, had I been a person of more means, I would certainly have imbibed in much more recreational drugs/alcohol/partying in my life, notwithstanding a remote possibility of a shorter life. But I have the fun I can with my modest budget. My priority in life is quality not quantity years. I'll gladly chose death at 60 rather than an extra 20-30 years on meds and maintenance and precautions.
Edit... I do encourage my peers to reduce flesh intake to a few meals a week, and add greens to their diet, but I don't proselytise. I spend more time chiding my single mom friend over thinking that her 12 y/o's life is being saved by a stupid foam helmet.
Abuse of alcohol shortens a lifespan, but limited amounts have been amply demonstrated to be beneficial.
This is very disputed, It was at first considered to only be red wine and port that had the effect. New evidence considers all alcohol consumption to be a risk. This makes sense as all alcohol contains formaldehyde and methanol in varying amounts. neither of these are a good thing.
Which would completely belie French and Italian longevity, pre-colonial indigenous peoples. There are so many problems with human studies, they simply aren't very reliable, due to the number of variables which are impossible to control for. Humans population studies are the most error-prone of the biological sciences, which is the reason behind the 100s of books in bookstores claiming to have "the" solution to long life, each with different theories.
Its not about the solution to long life, more the risks associated with short life. Your argument is more likely evidence that you drink.

"Fabulous trip around a unknown part of SA. 4WD through the southern Vales and out at Deep Creek was truly breathtaking. The surprise stop off with delicious canapes over looking KI was a real treat. Highly enjoyable tour."Fleur & Tom - Sydney
"My partner and I planned to fly directly to Kangaroo Island and by chance picked up an Off Piste 4WD Tour business card from Samuel's Gorge Winery. Curious, we called and booked that day. Both of us are so fortunate we did. Ben gave us a unforgettable day showing us so many wonderful things around the Fleurieu Peninsula which we had no idea about. What a beautiful part of South Australia! Wineries, wild 4WD tracks with kangaroos bouncing through the vineyards alongside the car! Amazing lunch at a restaurant Ben choose for us and got us a table that day. Very informative, and a comfortable trip with huge amount of stories and great humour. I would recommend Off Piste 4WD Tours to anyone with a sense of adventure. Good luck Ben!"Camille & Francois - Quebec
"We were looking for a company to transport us between home and a few wineries on the weekend of Sea and Vines so that we could enjoy a few beverages. I contact Off Piste to see if they were free for the day. They happily picked us up from home and returned at the end of the night with 3 wineries in between. Traffic at times around McLaren Vale was frantic on the Sunday, but luckily this was a 4WD tour and Ben was able to take us on a few short cuts down fire tracks and avoided all the slow traffic. It was a great way to see the vineyards and would definitely book him again. Thanks for the day Ben!"Jeff Wright,

Marlins targeting offense at GM Meetings
ORLANDO, Fla. -- With a single-minded focus, the Marlins head into the General Managers Meetings on Monday knowing exactly what they need.
"Offense, offense, offense," said Michael Hill, president of baseball operations. "We want to find ways to continue to keep our pitching strong, but also to add more offense."
ORLANDO, Fla. -- With a single-minded focus, the Marlins head into the General Managers Meetings on Monday knowing exactly what they need.
"Offense, offense, offense," said Michael Hill, president of baseball operations. "We want to find ways to continue to keep our pitching strong, but also to add more offense."
The Marlins finished last in the Majors in pretty much every significant hitting category in 2013, including batting average (.231), runs scored (513) and home runs (95).
Because of financial limitations, the Marlins aren't expected to become major players on the free-agent market, but they are open to wheeling and dealing in their search for hitters. Aside from Giancarlo Stanton, who is not expected to be traded, the Marlins don't have substantial power, but they're not looking exclusively for home run threats, either.
"I don't think it's necessarily power that we are going to be focused on," Hill said. "It's going to be run production. We need to score more runs. Whatever form that comes in, that is our goal."
Players who may fit the mold could be gap or high-batting-average hitters.
"If it is utilizing our spacious gaps, then it could be a high doubles guy, who can drive in runs and maintain a high average," Hill said. "We're in search of increased run production. I think that is paramount in us moving forward."
The GM Meetings have traditionally marked the unofficial launch of the Hot Stove season, though they aren't necessarily where trades or free-agent signings occur. Often seeds are planted for deals that end up being completed later in the offseason.
The Marlins' 12-player mega-deal with the Blue Jays was first discussed at the 2012 GM Meetings. A few weeks later, Miami sent Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Emilio Bonifacio and John Buck to Toronto for seven players, including Henderson Alvarez, Adeiny Hechavarria and Jeff Mathis.
The Marlins are now building around a young core of players and are open to being creative in discussing trade options.
"It's to be determined how active we'll be," Hill said of this year's meetings. "It will be the first opportunity for us to get face time with our counterparts in the game and assess what their needs are, and to see if we match up on anything. But we're looking forward to getting together with them and seeing what we can do to improve our ballclub."
The Marlins are in the market for a catcher and third baseman, but they are not limiting themselves to those two positions. Their best trade pieces are some of their young pitchers, although promising left-hander Andrew Heaney, the club's top pitching prospect, is not regarded as available.
"Pitching is the hardest commodity to acquire," Hill said. "We know that. We do have somewhat of a surplus of upper-level starting pitching. We don't want to completely weaken ourselves. We're mindful that once it's gone, it's gone, but we also know you have to give to get in this industry.
"We're going to try to be creative in our discussions, and hopefully, in the deals that we make to upgrade our roster, we will be able to maintain as much depth as we possibly can. If we're talking about any type of deal with our premium [pitchers], we definitely need to be sure it is something that is going to help us in the near term and long term."
Starting pitching is Miami's strength. Jose Fernandez, Nathan Eovaldi and Alvarez make up a solid top three, and Jacob Turner, 22, has shown signs that he can be effective middle-of-the-rotation candidate. Tom Koehler is a hard thrower who offers versatility either as a starter or a reliever.
Hill noted that the team is open to adding a veteran starter to complement its young staff. Kevin Slowey, a non-roster invitee a year ago, provided an experienced presence in the rotation the first couple of months of 2013.
"We've talked about that, just because our pitching staff is relatively young," Hill said. "Last year, Kevin Slowey was a tremendous influence on our young guys, just in his professionalism and how he handled himself.
"I'm not sure what shape or form that type of pitcher will come in, be it a starter or a reliever. But that type of influence we definitely want to have as part of the roster."

WASHINGTON — Officials say birds struck Vice President Joe Biden's plane as it was landing Thursday night at Santa Barbara Airport in California. Nobody was injured.
Maj. Michelle Lai of the U.S. Air Force 89th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Office says two to three birds hit the right side of Air Force Two.
Biden left Santa Barbara as scheduled Friday morning on another plane. Lai says Air Force Two was grounded as it was being inspected for damage.
It's not clear what kind of birds collided with the giant Boeing 757. Biden was in Santa Barbara for a fundraiser.

I use Spielman's lectures on course Spectral Graph Theory
I have few question regarding Lecture 2. The Laplacian, especially Lemma 2.3.1 (Graph connectivity). Please, help me to make it a little bit clearer.
Lemma 2.3.1. Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph, and let $0=\lambda_1 \leq \lambda_2 \leq \cdots\leq \lambda_n $ be the eigenvalues of its Laplacian matrix. Then, $\lambda_2 >0 $ if and only if $G$ is connected.
Proof: We first show that $\lambda_{2}=0$ if $G$ is disconnected. If $G$ is disconnected, then it can be described as the union of two graphs, $G_{1}$ and $G_{2}$. After suitably re-numbering the vertices, we can write
$$L_{G}=\begin{bmatrix} L_{G_{1}} & 0\\ 0 & L_{G_{2}} \end{bmatrix}.$$
So, $L_{G}$ has at least two orthogonal eigenvectors of eigenvalue zero:
$$\begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 1 \end{bmatrix} \mbox{ and } \begin{bmatrix} 1\\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$$
where we have partitioned the vectors as we did the matrix $L_{G}$.
What does it mean "orthogonal eigenvectors of eigenvalue zero"? Are those eigenvalues really equal 0? How do we know that these eigenvalues correspond to $\lambda_{2}$? I suspect that all $\lambda$'s are ordered by multiplicity. But how can I prove that every $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrix has $n$ eigenvalues, counted with multiplicity.
On the other hand, assume that $G$ is connected and that $x$ is an eigenvector of $L_{G}$ of eigenvalue $0$. As $L_{G}x=0$, we have
$$x^{T}L_{G}x=\sum_{(u,v)\in E}^{} (x(u)-x(v))^{2} = 0.$$
Thus, for each pair of vertices $(u,v)$ connected by an edge, we have $x(u)=x(v)$.
Why actually it's true if $u$ and $v$ are connected by an edge, we have $x(u)=x(v)$, it's not obvious for me, even if $x$ is eigenvector, and what happens in the general case?
As every pair of vertices $u$ and $v$ are connected by a path, we may inductively apply this fact to show that $x(u)=x(v)$ for all vertices $u$ and $v$. Thus, $x$ must be a constant vector. We conclude that the eigenspace of eigenvalue $0$ has dimension $1$.
OK, by now we prove that $\lambda_{1}=0$, but what about $\lambda_{2}$?


text: Andy Diaz Hope and Laurel Roth are San Francisco artists who often collaborate in addition to their solo careers. Their most recent work together is a triptych of tapestries inspired by the Unicorn Tapestries and structured on the three fundamental conflicts in literature - Human vs Nature, Human vs Him/Herself, and Human vs Human. The first tapestry, Allegory of the Monoceros, illustrates the end of Darwinian natural selection and the growth of human-centric evolution. The second, Allegory of the Infinite Mortal, portrays a garden for contemplation of the scientific and philosophical structures humans have used throughout history to explore the concepts of infinity and immortality and our place therein. The third tapestry was created during their fellowship at the de Young Museum and explores how cooperation and conflict have shaped human evolution. Each tapestry began with extensive research at the San Francisco Public Library.

text: I began my radio career in Washington in 1993 at a news/talk station, working overnight playing back reruns of talk shows that aired earlier the day before. At that time we were recording the shows on reel-to-reel tapes!In order to get my foot in the door with an on-air position, I took a job with a station in Winchester, Virginia. Once a weekend (and sometimes twice), I would trek 75 miles from Rockville, just to have the opportunity to open the microphone! Within a year I was able to cut that commute in half, working in Frederick, Maryland. In mid-2005 I joined WMZQ, cutting my commute about as much as possible (unless I ever have a home studio built!). I'm here most weekends, and regularly cover a weeknight or two.While I'm coming up on nearly two decades in radio, I'm approaching a decade in real estate, as well. I obtained my Maryland real estate salesperson license in 2003, and have since added salesperson licenses in Virginia and the District of Columbia.In my personal life, I can attest that good things come to those who wait. In mid-2010, a few months before my 39th birthday, I met the love of my life, Claire. She's everything I could have asked for, and more. One year after our first date, I proposed, and (as Chad Brock sang) "she said 'Yes!'" The wedding was one year later, on the same weekend as our first date and our engagement.

Uganda: Who's Stealing The Rent?
One property registered to the Uganda government, is located at 30 Ingram Avenue; there has never been any money submitted to the Treasury of Uganda, although it is believed to earn $240,000 annually.
Africa News Update
A group of Uganda members of parliament has come to London to investigate government-owned properties whose income may have been diverted into individual bank accounts.
One member of the group in an interview says even though some of the properties generate revenue, none of the money goes to the East African country's treasury; one member of parliament says the best solution is to hold a hearing in parliament and call Uganda's past high commissioners to the U.K. to testify; high commissioners are equivalent to ambassadors.
One property registered to the government, is located at 30 Ingram Avenue; its proprietor is the Republic of Uganda and its Title No. MX287092, with its date of acquisition April 6, 1971.
Yet, since 1986, there has never been any money submitted to the Treasury of Uganda, although it is believed to earn $240,000 annually. Some of the properties are under an entity; Uganda Property Holdings Ltd.
"We came to find out the existence of several properties belonging to the government of Uganda, but some individuals were illusive non cooperative," says MP (MP for Budadiri West), Nathan Nandala Mafabi, at Express Holiday Inn, North Acton-London; he is Chairman Public Accounts Committee and Shadow Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development.
In an appeal to members of the public and Ugandans living in London, Nandala, adds, "We also call upon individuals to come-out," and help his team with their investigations, with any information to "rescue the properties."
The five lawmakers who traveled from the East African country belong to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in parliament and also include: Ssebuliba Richard Mutumba (MP for Kawempe South), Ronald Reagan Okumu (MP Aswa County), Lt. Saleh Kamba (MP for Kibuku), and Peter Mutuluza (MP for Mawokota North). They spent the last seven days meeting with some illusive occupiers of Uganda properties in the UK.
Kamba (MP for Kibuku) and Mutuluza (MP for Mawokota North) are from the ruling NRM party.
Additional to establishing whether the properties exist, the group wanted to know how these properties are managed; the value of the properties; and, what, if at all, income it generated for the Ugandan Treasury.
Nandala Mafabi recommends a hearing be held before the committee in parliament, for a full accounting. "Our recommendations are that all the former High Commissioners must appear before the committee, Uganda Property Holdings must also appear before the committee."
According to a reliable source most of the properties benefit big wigs in the government and their income generation remains a mystery.
Other holdings under scrutiny include 189 Wardour Street, London, W1F 8ZD whose proprietor is the Republic of Uganda. It is said to have been registered on August 21, 1975, with Title No. 49881, at City of Westminster.
It has been established that this property was once a subject of charge in favor of Lloyds Bank Plc. Being leased by Edgegrange Properties Ltd. since July 29, 1996, it had also been condemned by local authorities, who offered to renovate it and occupy rent-free for a period. Property income generation started May 2005, but not money has been submitted into Uganda's Treasury. This property currently has tenants, offices and a very huge restaurant. All the money is believed to be going into some individuals' private bank accounts.
Another Property under scrutiny is at 7 Deacons Rise, Finchley, N2 0BF. The proprietor is Uganda Property Holdings Ltd., with Title No. NGL 311332. There is also property at 48 Gainsbourgh Garden, Hendon, NW11 9BL, with Uganda Property Holdings and Title No. NGL9634; 35 Harman Drive, NW2 2ED, with proprietor Uganda Property Holdings and Title No. MX389783.
One property is believed to have once housed members of External Security Operation (ESO), Uganda's spy organization.

Secret Santa searchable
Reader Simon Barnett has made the Secret Santa data searchable online. See here.

A few sites I've stumbled across recently....
Reader Simon Barnett has made the Secret Santa data searchable online. See here.
If he's trying to be anonymous, putting a by-line on the search page isn't the way to go about it.
Edit: never mind.
P.S. Typo on the search page - should be "string delimiting"
Links from the search results don't work for me -- win7 & chrome.
Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 22.214.171.124:801
Donna is now receiving demands from the IPCC legal counsel to stop all of this leak stuff.
Kudos and thanks to Simon for this facility, but:
Searching for 'bollocks' finds 419 results.
Searching for 'climate bollocks' finds 69 results.
I find it difficult to believe that IPCC reviewers would be so candid about the contents of the various draft documents.
I can see the search results (e.g. for "wind energy") but cannot connect to the links supplied.
Using IE 10 in normal as well as in compatibility view => same result
Look suspicious. A search of this site shows no previous appearance of a 'Simon Barnett'.
The server is severing the connection, so it looks like a performance issue.
Same for me. Reports search results, but the links go nowhere.
Probaby a government/IPCC site to collect deniers' IP addresses. Smiley, I hope.
As lapogus it seems a little buggy - I did the bollocks search and it managed to open a few of the docs - none of them contained the word when I searched inside them.
Good effort though.
I'll be interested in all of the papers that are on topics such as redistribution of wealth, poverty reduction, getting women working so that they have fewer babies, natural resource management, equity, justice, global governance...
Search does not work. Suspicious, don't go there.
Tried the 'bollocks' test on the FOIA Climategate searchable database for comparison and it passes with no results returned.
However, 'balls' returns an email to Mike Hulme.
This time the search works; I received a number of working links on the keywords "wind energy". One of the documents returned was IPCC WGII AR5 Chapter 10. It contained no real information, though. A very bureaucratic-style doc.
Hiya --
Firstly, there was some firewall weirdness earlier in the day that has now been resolved. I've also been tweaking the code to iron out some "undocumented features". Apologies to those of you who caught errors / weirdness.
Note: I've just done an update that allows you to search the files on your local machine if you already downloaded them - instructions of the search page.
@lapogus - yep, hands up - twas a bug in the negation code. Should be resolved now. Sorry about that and thanks for positive feedback :).
@John Silver - C'mon dude, show some love - I'm doing this during coffee breaks ... it's entirely legit but I've rushed to get this into the hands of sceptic community as soon as possible. If it takes another day to iron out the kinks (and I think/hope I now have) please just bear with me, mkay?
@Rhoda Klapp - your privacy is assured at this end ;)
@HaroldW - nope - delimination is a valid conjugation of deliminate :).
@John Shade - Hey! I've been here, just not had anything useful to contribute till now!
Simon -
OK, thanks, that's a new word by me!
Only the paranoid survives.
Only the paranoid survives... and then only if he's paranoid enough!
Just call this AR5 (arse) GATE.
I'm only half as paranoid as I should be.

Former Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III will star on the cover of NCAA Football 13, publisher EA Sports said today.
The Heisman Trophy winner and projected #2 NFL draft pick will join one of eight other athletes on the game's box art. EA said in a press release that starting March 12, fans will be able to vote on Facebook for Griffin's partner:
The candidates include former University of Southern California running back Marcus Allen, former Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie, former The Ohio State University running back Eddie George, former The University of Michigan wide receiver Desmond Howard, former Oklahoma State University running back Barry Sanders, former University of Georgia running back Herschel Walker, former Florida State University quarterback Charlie Ward and former University of Houston quarterback Andre Ware.
I'm voting for Doug Flutie in hopes that the picture is just him dropkicking Griffin.

Subscribe To Gulliver's Travels Director In Talks For Goosebumps Movie Updates
I've already subscribed
If you were a kid in the 90s, chances are that you picked up at least one of R.L. Stine's Goosebumps books. The short, throw-away paperbacks were great quick reads for kids looking to read some scary stories about evil ventriloquist dummies ("Night of the Living Dummy"), haunted Halloween costumes ("The Haunted Mask"), or spooky cameras that tell the future ("Say Cheese and Die!"). Thanks to the series' immense popularity - not to mention that chance for nostalgia points - studios have spent years trying to make a Goosebumps movie, but now it looks like the project may actually be moving forward.
According to Deadline, Sony is now in talks with director Rob Letterman to helm a feature film version of the kid-friendly horror series. While it's possible that they have moved on to a new script, last year the studio hired Jack The Giant Slayer scribe Darren Lemke to write a script based on books, though at the time it wasn't said which story he would be adapting. Late last year Stine actually suggested that the project would never come together, but perhaps this is the start of developments that will prove him wrong.
Letterman is no stranger to kid-friendly fare, though fans may not be too happy with some of his credits. His 2009 animated film Monsters vs. Aliens was given a pass by critics, but the same can't be said about 2004's Shark Tale or 2010's Gulliver's Travels. Should he sign on, Goosebumps will be his first film since the Jack Black comedy flopped.
For all the drama surrounding a feature, it's worth remembering that there was actually a live-action series based on the books that ran on Fox Kids from 1995 to 1998. Check out one of the more famous episodes below and relive the nightmares!

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has requested $US37 billion ($A35.45 billion) in aid from the US government to help the US state recover after superstorm Sandy.
A parade of escalating numbers detailed Sandy's toll: More than 30,000 businesses and homes destroyed or structurally damaged, an additional 42,000 homes with problems, kilometres of beach severely eroded.
Already, Christie said, 233,000 people in the state have registered for assistance.
The revised cost estimate - which represents a $US7.4 billion jump from the initial figures last week - now includes money to help the state forestall similar devastation in any future natural disasters. They were submitted to the White House on Wednesday as one of the first steps in a campaign to secure an unprecedented infusion of federal aid.
"We think we've been very responsible with the numbers we put forward," Christie said.
"We haven't padded the numbers, we're not playing games, we're not negotiating. These are numbers that we need and we hope that members of Congress go down and get it for us."
The numbers submitted so far offer a broad-brush assessment of the havoc wreaked by Sandy in late October. Coupled with New York's latest request for about $US42 billion, they clearly put Sandy in rare company, giving it the potential to exceed Hurricane Katrina as the most costly storm ever in the United States.
Christie announced the latest damage assessment - and pledged bipartisan co-operation with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in seeking relief - during a news conference at which he introduced Marc Ferzan as New Jersey's new overseer of the storm recovery.
Christie said he made the decision to put one person in charge of the overall effort - rather than spread out the responsibility, as Cuomo has done - after consulting with various governors who steered their states through Katrina.
Ferzan, 45, managed a staff of 8000 when he was the state's executive assistant attorney-general for two years until he left earlier this year to become managing director of PricewaterhouseCooper's investigative consulting practice.
"I am truly humbled and honoured to take on this role," Ferzan said.
"New Jersey is my home. It is where I grew up. My family is here, my friends are here and the destruction I recognise has and will continue to touch all of us in the weeks and months to come."
A damage assessment such as the one submitted on Wednesday by New Jersey usually starts a process that leads to a disaster declaration. But since US President Barack Obama made that declaration the night Sandy hit, the assessments by Christie and Cuomo are likely to have more of a political impact as members of Congress push for more aid.
