More Finds in Search for Sensation: We are inching closer to the 1887 grave of Westminster's symbolic Pointer. Google Books is a Godsend to research. As more 19th century material enters the public domain, key word searches of vintage publications, recently digitalized, are available on home computers. Just discovered, an antique book and a familiar periodical provide new details about the Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) kennels and the lifestyle of the 200 dogs on the Babylon property near Southards Pond. Take a look:
•Although the 1887 book- Dog Stories and Dog Lore by Thomas Wallace Knox is listed as juvenile fiction because the author pretends to have a narrator conducting a tour so 2 boys can learn about rearing and training dogs, a Westminster incident cited has been verified by multiple sources. Knox (1835-1896) was a Civil War correspondent and international journalist who sold the government a Morse Code system later used to transmit weather maps. He also wrote many travel logs for young people. Therefore, I am considering Knox's remarks about the dogs as accurate.
Pages 76-77 segue from the Madison Square Garden dog show to the Westminster complex in Babylon. Knox says that WKC owned 80 acres when actually the club had 64. This mistake is in several old journals. He goes on to write: "every morning and every evening the dogs are allowed to run on the grounds, but during the middle of the day they are kept in the kennels or tied among the trees. The manager of the kennels devised a plan of letting the dogs' chains run on wires stretched between the trees, so the animals can go a great deal farther than the length of the chains."
There is a drawing of a doubleswivel dog chain. This is the first I have seen about the dogs being chained whereas an 1886 Sportsman's Journal describes the kennels opening upon roomy exercise yards enclosed by high "picket" fences while a sketch in an 1892 Harper's Weekly shows pens with high "wire" fencing.
His next paragraph hit a familiar chord. Knox explains: "Sometimes the dogs are taken for a swim in the lake [Southards]. The manager gets in his boat and rows away from shore, and the entire pack of dogs, big and little, follow him." Then he recounts how Sankey, a Spaniel, saved Wasp, a Skye Terrier, from drowning. Sankey received a life-saving medal from the WKC members. This 1881 rescue had been reported in the June 1881 Chicago Field and Forest & Stream, plus the canine heroism was also noted on June 18, 1881 microfilm of the Babylon newspaper- The South Side Signal. (See "Pets" Beacon May 17, 2007 for the full account.) Both Sankey and Wasp were entered in the first WKC dog show at the first Garden in 1877.
•The 1891 Cosmopolitan Vol. 12, yes, "Cosmo" has an article called "Kennel Clubs and Kennels" by medical doctor W. M. Bangs which also misstates 80 Babylon acres; then mentions the dogs loose and in the enclosed yards rather than chained between trees. He also gives precise clues to where the kennels were which parallel our recent rethinking that the clubhouse faced south, not east, as we first surmised. (See "Pets" Post April 29, 2009.)
Dr. Bangs states: "The kennels are long, low structures wherein the dogs, when not running free or in the exercising yards, are comfortably sheltered. Many of the dogs are housed in individual kennels in a grove of tall pine trees in the north-east corner of the eighty acre [sic] grounds now owned by the club. The main kennels, however, are in a one-story building about 100 feet in length, at the northern end of the grounds facing south" Later he says the dogs have free range unless the presence of members or their guests make it desirable to restrict them. Then the dogs are confined to 100 square foot yards enclosed by high open wire fences. Cosmopolitan, like other accounts, agrees the concrete kennel floors kept the dogs dry and safe from illness.
The north-east end would be near Morrison Street close to the pond, not where any buried cement has been reported by present residents. This location is still logical. The kennels would have been away from the shooting grounds and far from access by townspeople, buffered by the plot to the north that belonged to WKC member Wagstaff. An 1888 Outing eyewitness report of a good view of the kennels from clubhouse dining room still supports placing the clubhouse at the suspicious sandpit. The puzzle pieces are falling into place.
Early on Dr. Bangs praises Sensation, the WKC logo Pointer who had died in Babylon in 1887 and says that Naso of Kippen was now the head stud (Pointer) of the club. Presently there is a handsome, young English Pointer who romps at Southards Pond along with a Swiss Mountain Dog and Lab. His owner once told me he was related to "Holly" who happens to be the Pointer owned by a WKC member and Best In Show at last year's AKC Eukanuba show. Perhaps this Pointer pup's presence is more than a coincidence. It is dog destiny.
Special Dog for Adoption: "Tucker" is an 18 month old neut. fellow from Afghan Hound Rescue of the Mid-Atlantic (AHROMA). He looks like my Edgar Afghan Poe. Tucker was hit by a car and abandoned at an emergency hospital where he lingered for over 3 months until a client took him home and contacted Afghan Rescue. Via AHROMA, Tucker had his needed hip surgery / rehab and is now fully recovered. He is being fostered in Greenwich, CT where he is happy and active with kids, other dogs and a cat. To find out more, please contact slavtoanaf@ gmail.com or call 484-431-3099.
Back at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon: " Winston" & "Penny" are the last of 9 cats and a dog that lost their home due to an eviction in May. Both lobby cats are purrsonality plus. They need not be adopted together. The shelter has a huge selection of felines.
Female: older yellow Lab Cage 33; beige Shepherd mix Cage 29; brindle "Roxy" Cage 25; "Hallie" patient Pit Cage 38.
Male: last week's Jack Russell mix poster pup had dentistry when he was neutered; Lab/Corgi Cage 3; "Teddy" Retriever mix Cage 6; Coonhound mix pup Cage 14.

Hello! You can call me Momo, or whatever you like. (... Momo = Peaches in Japanese, but to tell you the truth I don't like peaches. I just love the name Momo. ) Nice to meet you!
I'm still a newbie here at theOtaku, but I'm learning as I go. I hope to make many other otaku friends here!
If anyone is wondering if I like Sailor Moon because of my user name my answer is: I have never watched or read Sailor Moon before. My sister found the song, had me listen to it, and I just loved the song so much that when I found this site later that same day I made it my username. Sailor Moon looks interesting so I am considering taking a look at it sometime in the future.
I love anime, but I've gotten quite a liking to reading manga these days so if you wanna talk sometime I'd be happy to! I'm always interested in learning about anime or manga I've never seen before so I don't mind being introduced to something new that might be your favorite.
That's about it, I guess. See ya around!
P.S. Thank you for all the warm welcomes! You all made me very happy.

- Aged white (with black text) >> Please note that this is not white. It has been painted white, then sanded and stained a medium brown.
- Medium Brown stain (with black text)
- Stone Grey (with black text) >> This is more of a grey wash, so it is very light, with a bit of wood grain showing through.

The front is sealed with a water based top coat after the ink transfer.

5 Print & Poster Shops from Down South
One of my goals for the new year is to tackle framing the stack of prints and posters I've been collecting over the past few years. I picked up most of the artwork on my travels and as I was sorting through them, I realized the majority of my collection hails from the South. While they are by no means all "southern themed", they do tend to have a bit of a southern flair. Here are five of my favorite artists for prints or posters below the Mason-Dixon.
1. Anderson Design Group - Graphic designer, Joel Anderson, and his team of artists have spent a lot of time designing prints that celebrate his hometown of Nashville. Eventually he decided to branch out to explore the rest of the USA, this time creating a collection called the Art & Soul of America. Over 50 nostalgically illustrated prints represent the collection, from National Parks to iconic American cities, all printed and produced in Nashville.
2. Hatch Show Print - Also from Nashville, I don't think you can mention Southern, music and art prints without talking about Hatch Show. Hatch Show Print is one of America's oldest working letterpress shops and you've probably seen their vibrant colorful posters without even realizing it. Dating back to the 1950's, Hatch Show's biggest clients were Grand Ole Opry performers such as Johnny Cash. They continue to create new posters for current artists like Neil Young and Avett Brothers along with quirky prints celebrating terriers or the famous Hatch Show resident cats. Now part of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, I was fortunate enough to get a tour of their shop when I was in town last year. If you like art or music, no trip to Nashville would be complete without paying them a visit!
3. Hammerpress - Hammerpress is another letterpress shop, but this one is located in Kansas City, Missouri. They make greeting cards, posters, art prints, t-shirts and other paper goods most recognizable by their bold typography.
4. Rebekka Seale - I probably shouldn't have included her in this list if I ever hope to have her do a custom portrait of my house (she's currently booked through March), but her work is just too dear not to mention. Rebekka, originally from the Alabama coast and now residing in Nashville, works creating hand-painted watercolor and gouache paintings, illustrations, and prints. My favorite from her catalog of work would definitely have to be her custom-illustrated house portraits.
5. Methane Studios - A partnership based out of Atlanta, Methane Studios got its start by producing silk screen posters for an East Atlanta club. While these two designers use the computer to produce their art, they never want their posters to "look" computerized and their goal is to always use it to tell a story or convey a message, often with a sense of humor.

#1274 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 09/05/09
, Ready For Supreme Court If Necessary
The State of Kentucky announced Friday that it would appeal
a court ruling that struck down legislation requiring the
Commonwealth's Homeland Security Office to display a religious
plaque and incorporate "dependence on God" in its training
Two statutes, passed in the wake of the September 11, 2001
faith-based terrorist attacks, were challenged by American Atheists
and a cohort of plaintiffs who maintained that they violated
key portions of both the U.S. Constitution and the Kentucky
Constitution's prohibition about establishing religion.
The hastily passed bills mandated that the new department "publicize
the findings of the General Assembly stressing the dependence on
Almighty God as being vital to the security of the Commonwealth."
Another statute called upon the Director of the new office to
promote the religious message, and prominently display the plaque
"at the entrance to the state's Emergency Operations Center…"
The text of the statue declared:
(1) No government by itself can guarantee perfect security from
acts of war or terrorism.
(2) The security and well-being of the public depend not just on
government, but rest in large measure upon individual citizens
of the Commonwealth and their level of understanding, preparation
and vigilance.
(3) The safety and security of the Commonwealth cannot be achieved
apart from reliance on Almighty God as set forth in the public
speeches and proclamations of American Presidents, including Abraham
Lincoln's historic March 30, 1863 Proclamation urging Americans to
pray and fast during one of the most dangerous hours of American
history, and the text of President John F. Kennedy's November 22,
1963, national security speech which concluded: "For as was written
long ago: 'Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but
in vain.' "
Edwin Kagin, National Legal Director for American Atheists took
the issue to court. The Kentucky Attorney General promptly
filed for a motion to dismiss, and disingenuously argued that the
statutes honored god and had little or nothing to do with religion.
On August 26, however Circuit Court Judge Thomas Wingate denied
the Commonwealth's request, and made a summary judgment in favor of
the plaintiffs. Wingate opined that the statutes clearly established
religion, and said that while the legislature had broad authority, in
the case of the two statutes, "the secular purpose has to be genuine,
not a sham and not merely secondary to a religious objective."
Despite the 17-page rebuke of the Commonwealth's arguments,
though, the Attorney General's office decided to appeal at public
expense. Mr. Kagin called the move "regrettable," and told reporters:
"I would not be at all uncomfortable taking the facts of this case
before the U.S. Supreme Court. I think the statue is so blatantly
unconstitutional that any court would find it unconstitutional."
Shelly Johnson of the state's Attorney General office declared:
"We believe there is a clear distinction in the law between
acknowledgement of religion, which has been permitted for years,
and the establishment of religion, which is prohibited by the
Constitution. The statute in question merely acknowledges religion
and should have been upheld by the court."
Associated Press writer Roger Alford noted the importance of the
case. "States in the Bible Belt such as Kentucky, cannot afford to
concede this court battle, even when legal grounds are shaky…"
Western Kentucky University political science professor Scott Lasley
concurred, noting the partisan electoral aspects of the case.
He observed that Attorney General Jack Conway is seeking the
Democratic nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in the 2010 race.
"The reality of the situation is that for most attorneys general
that (not challenging the court ruling) would be the end of their
political careers. It's just the reality of the situation, given
the political environment you're operating in."
The rise of militant atheism
Published: Sunday | September 6, 2009
Is religion good for society? Is the Bible really a good book let alone 'The Good Book'? And does God really exist? Can we prove it? A group of militant atheists have been giving a resounding and vehement "No!" to all these questions, much to the consternation of Christians.
In the last few years, Christians have experienced their own Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. There is no mystery to them, as they have made no attempt to disguise their identities or agenda. They are named Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett and Christopher Hitchens. They have written some profoundly disturbing books in the last four years: The God Delusion (Richard Dawkins); The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation (Sam Harris); Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon (Daniel Dennett); and god is not Great (Christopher Hitchens). Hitchens and Dawkins are the most dreaded of these four "beasts" in Christian fundamentalist demonology.
Unknown to most Jamaican Christians, including many pastors and theologians, there has been an intense, fierce and furious intellectual battle taking place over God in North America and Britain particularly, in the last four years. A new, militant atheism has arisen. The New Atheists, as they have been dubbed, have been carrying out their work with evangelistic and evangelical zeal. It's about time, they say, as for too long thinking, rational people have allowed Christians to dominate the public space, influencing public policy to great societal damage, with their myths and dogmas.
Christians, for example, have been at the forefront of the struggle against the right of gay people to live without stigma and prejudice; the right to have a "loving and legal marriage"; the "right" to adopt and rear children. Christians have stoutly opposed women's sovereignty over their own bodies, tyrannising public policy on abortion, as the atheists would see it. Christians have opposed stem cell research which would benefit people undergoing intense suffering. They are said to be responsible for untold suffering in places like Africa where AIDS has been rampant, because of the teaching of Christianity's largest denomination (Catholicism) against the use of condoms. Catholic teaching forbidding policy on artificial birth control has both swelled and harmed populations in Latin America where Catholicism has been strong.
Christians, charge the New Atheists, have been responsible for supporting or giving justification to some of the most obnoxious social evils which mankind has known. Christopher Hitchens sees religion as child abuse and devotes a whole chapter in his book, "god is not Great, defending that thesis.
"Violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry; invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry; contemptuous of women and coercive toward children, organised religion ought to have a great deal on its conscience," Hitchens spews in his highly polemical and angry book. (He sees it as justified outrage; the sort rational persons should exhibit to the kind of atrocities religion fosters, in his view).
Atrocious behaviour
And it is not only that Christians, as fallible human beings, have not been able to live out the ideal of the Bible and, therefore, they engage in atrocious behaviour. No, say people like Dawkins and Hitchens. That is how the Christians' God behaves. Explains Dawkins in his book, The God Delusion: "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, blood-thirsty ethnic cleanser, a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticide, genocidal, filicidal pestilential, megalomanical, sadomasochistic, capriciously bully."
Some Christians might even condemn me for quoting this "blasphemous" passage from the Gospelof Dawkins; a passage which would, under previous era, land him in jail. But people would be shocked to know that long before Hitchens wrote that, the revered American Founding Father Thomas Jefferson said, "The Christian God is a being of terrific character – cruel, vindictive, capricious and unjust". But now the New Atheists are popularising their ideas through the big American media, of which they have become darlings. Dawkins, Harris and Hitchens' books have been best-sellers on the New York Times lists (Dennett is more sober and restrained, hence less of a pull for media.)
The New Atheists have been helped considerably by a growing group of Christians, including scholars and pastors, who have become atheists and who are now openly confessing their atheism. From the 19th century particularly, with the rise of Biblical criticism, a huge percentage of Biblical scholars have rejected conservative views that the Bible is the inerrant word of God. Many Biblical scholars see the Bible as a human book, limited by culture and history and not by any means immune from error.
One prominent Biblical scholar who has become an atheist and who is a celebrity in the big American media is Professor Bart Ehrman who over the last few years has produced a stream of books devastating to Christianity and the Bible: Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind who Changed the Bible and Why; The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture; Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths we Never Knew; Lost Scriptures: Books That Did not Make It Into the New Testament; God's problem: How the Bible Fails to Answer our Most Important Question – Why we Suffer and his most recent; Jesus Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible (And Why We Don't know About Them).
Ehrman was a Bible-believer, Gospel-toting Fundamentalist Christian schooled in the most conservative Evangelical seminaries in America – Moody Bible Institute and Wheaton. But he later went to Princeton where he gained a PhD in New Testament studies. In his book God's problem he tells how he lost his faith after becoming a pastor and preaching every Sunday and holding prayer group and Bible studies.
"I realised that I could no longer reconcile the claims of faith with the facts of life. I could no longer explain how there can be a good and all-powerful God actively involved with this world given the state of things. For many people inhabiting this planet, life is a cesspool of misery and suffering. I came to the point where I could not believe that there is a good and kindly disposed Ruler who is in charge of it."
I could no longer believe
Unlike what almost every Christian might believe, Ehrman did not leave willingly, but tried to hang on to his faith until he simply could not anymore, his faith bursting under the weight of contrary evidence, as he would see it. "I did not go easily. On the contrary, I left kicking and screaming, wanting desperately to hold on to the faith I had known from my childhood. But I came to the point where I could no longer believe".
In the view of the New Atheists like Harris, Dennett, Dawkins and Hitchens, only the tiniest minority have the courage to leave an unthinking faith, which is what all religious faith is ultimately. Besides, the vast majority are simply not bright enough to realise they what they believe is an illusion, a myth, a fable like those from Greek legends. In fact, Dawkins has angered Christians for years by saying he cannot see how any educated person can believe in God. He says the evidence for evolution is too overwhelming and coercive for any person who claims to be educated to deny that evidence and say he does not believe in evolution.
He says atheists should be simply called Brights for those who are not atheists are not bright. (Dawkins , from the prestigious Oxford University, is considered the most arrogant of all the new atheists, followed closely by Hitchens). Hitchens says in his book, god is not Great: "Religion comes from a period of human pre-history where nobody had the smallest idea what was going on. It comes from bawling and a fearful infancy of our species and is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge (as well as for comfort, reassurance and other infantile needs). Today the least educated of my children knows much more about the natural order than any of the founders of religion."
The growth of Islamic fanaticism and terrorism; the danger of militant Islam to democracy and peace and the 9/11 experience have served to reinforce the view that religion is bad for society. In addition, the New Atheists are buttressed by scientific evidence which seems to prove that religion is harmful to sociological and psychological health.
The facts
An international survey of 23,000 persons in 17 democracies shows that "in general, higher rates of belief in and worship of a creator correlate with high rates of homicide, juvenile and early mortality STD-infection rates, teen pregnancy and abortion in the prosperous democracies". (See Gregory Paul's article in Vol. 7, 2005 issue of The Journal of Religion and Health).
Secular Europe scores higher on a number of indices of social health than the more religious United States. Japan, which is a highly secularised society, is far more peaceful and sociologically healthy than religious America.
Says Gregory in his Journal of Religion and Society essay: "The United States is almost always the most dysfunctional of the democracies, sometimes spectacularly so. No democracy is known to have combined strong religiosity and popular denial of evolution with high rates of societal health. The US is the least efficient Western nation in terms of converting wealth into cultural and physical health". And a religion is a major factor say the militant atheists.

Blind support? Where has that got the STHs this season? The club snaffle the cash in exchange for a monotonously downbeat, seemingly confused product on the pitch. I gave up my ST 5 years ago but always, always felt a tad envious of those that still awaited the envelope comeing through the letterbox and the anticipation of a new season to look forward to. Even last summer, as much as I thought SIM would be a disaster for Bath I was more than happy with the idea of being proven so so wrong I'd be marching up and down along side the river on matchday with a sandwich board to broadcast my stupidity.
I look desperately for tangible positives, I'm naturally an optimist - but I'm increasingly thinking I'm much better off well away from it all. The 3 times I've seen them live this has left me feeling seriously short changed.
Is it time to call it a day and look for another option to spend time and money on in exchange for honest endeavour and effort?
Damn it all!
Bod may be proved right in time but I think the owner will get it right but it will take time.I cannot believe with all the change anyone would think it was going to happen over night.
I am sure mistakes have been made and Mr Craig I'm sure is aware of them but it's the first season,let's get these teething problems out of the way and it's onwards and upwards.
I do get the fact that there might not be much to play for for the rest of the season.
Quote:Cum on u Barf
Sorry to be positive on a Wednesday but I think if we can play with tempo as we have been these last few games, cut out the errors and be more clinical then we are looking good.

Usually New Year's resolutions entail something in the vein of becoming a better person or losing weight. And that's great. Those are New Year's resolutions you should make. (And keep?) But I wanna talk about the small stuff for a second here. The little things we should do -- for ourselves -- that might make us the itsiest, bitsiest, tiniest bit happier. They're by no means hard resolutions to keep. And they don't involve any amount of will power or hard work. It's just that ... well, we can be lazy when it comes to maintaining ourselves. No more, ladies. No. More. Here are 5 beauty resolutions we all should attempt to keep in 2013. Come on, don't you want to look all pretty and polished this year?
Maintain your brows. Straight up -- I suck at this. Once upon a time, I would get brow waxes every month or so, and even pluck in between, but no more. And I can't even use having a baby as an excuse for this one, because this is something I stopped doing long before I got pregnant. In 2013, I want to try to stay on top of my brows more. Will this result in world peace? No. But it'll make me the slightest bit happier when I look in the bathroom mirror.
Trim your hairs. And while we're on the subject of hair, and maintaining it, let's talk about haircuts and trims for a second here. Am I the only person who pretty much does this once or twice a year? It takes weeks, no, months, of me complaining about my split ends and how lifeless my hair looks before actually doing something about it. Even if it's Supercuts, let's trim more this year, people!
Bikini waxing. Oh, hell, let's just go for the trifecta here. Let's wax more, ladies. Doesn't have to be every month, like it may have been back in the day, but every once in a while, let's hit up a salon, fork over nine million dollars, and brace ourselves for a world of pain, because ... I don't even know. It's the right thing to do?
Trying new makeup. Raise your hand if you've been using the same bronzer and lipstick for 3+ years! Let's make 2013 the year of getting out of our comfort zones. And let's start at Sephora.
Taking off our polish when it starts to chip. Really, there's nothing less sophisticated or unpolished-looking (heh) than nail color that's chip-chip-chipping away. When it starts to flake off, no need to redo nails, just take it off and go bare.
Do you have any beauty resolutions?

Discrepancy in number of ACD calls shown on custom reports
From DocWiki
Discrepancy in number of ACD calls shown on custom reports
|Problem Summary
|When running user-created custom reports, one report shows the number of calls for each hour of the day, totaling 244 calls. The other report shows the number of ACD calls for the entire report period, totalling 243 calls. Such discrepancies happen for other days as well, the difference being as many as four calls.
|Error Message
|Possible Cause
|If some ACD calls are transferred, the result can be that two or more call legs fall in different hours of the day. Therefore, the call is counted once in the first report and twice in the second.
|Recommended Action
The software is working as designed. If this is not acceptable, you could alternatively count call legs, instead of entire calls, and the totals on the first report and the second report will match. Then "select count distinct sessionID" becomes "select count distinct (sessionID, sessionSeqNum) pairs." However, be advised that this would change the definition of counting calls for the entire call center.

*Official* 2013 First AL & NL Managers Fired Predictions

Because nothing about Robin's situation indicates that he's unhappy in his job or that the Sox believe they made a mistake in offering it to him. Yes, he turned down the extension, but as I said, I think he recognizes the possibility that management may have a different perspective on his job performance in two years than they do today, and would rather earn a contract extension than risk being paid to do nothing if he's fired after 2014.

I'm not denying you the right to make an argument. I don't have the power to do that. I don't agree with your argument, but you're welcome to embarrass yourself at your convenience.

The reasons you've provided to justify your position are as follows:
1. Robin believes he's unfit for the job of White Sox manager.
2. Most MLB managers are fired before their third year.
Here's the problem with your reasons: Robin never said he believes he's not qualified for the position of Sox manager. I've re-posted what he said about his contract below:

Ill worry about it at the end of it.
For them, I want them to have two years to think Im still the right guy for the job for that to continue to go.
It wasnt anything that was a big deal, so Im not holding out for anything or disappointed in not wanting to stay here. I think at the end of that, thats when you talk about it. Im not worried about trying to extend anything right now. Im more worried with this team in this spring training than Im worried about 2015.
Ventura makes his feelings perfectly clear. He says that the decision about whether he's the right man for the job lies with Sox management, which it does. He's absolutely correct in what he says. He never says that he believes he's not qualified for the job.
As far as your second statement is concerned, I took the liberty of combing through the current list of MLB managers. Of the thirty managers currently working in baseball, eighteen are in at least their third season with their current club. Another manager, John Farrell, in in his first season with Boston after choosing to take the Red Sox job because he's always dreamed of managing in Boston.
I've include the
in this post, so that others may see it, as well.

The factors you've used to justify your argument are incorrect. That's the problem.

Yes, it is a prediction thread, but your predictions are based on nonsense. That's why I have a problem with them. No one else is making predictions based on the "factors" you're using.

I said you were in error because you are. I'll remind you again of the points you made to justify your argument:
1. Robin Ventura believes he's unfit to manage the Chicago White Sox.
2. Most MLB mangers are fired before their third year.
Ventura never said that, as has been pointed out before, and I've addressed your second point. I don't believe something is wrong with you because I don't want to hear your arguments. I don't want to hear your arguments because your arguments are wrong. If you can present an argument that makes more sense, I'll be happy to listen, but you've yet to do so.

Ppl there are both casual and hard players XD!
Thumbs up to give others ur POSITIVE energy!!!!!XDXD
Free to play:
Right now the only game i play from this category is Vindictus, dragon nest will be good too once its released.
Non Free:
:V hard to choose, right now im pretty much just waiting for the upcoming titles im interested in : Guild Wars 2, Blade and Soul
since i bought ffxiv when it came out (and was disappointed ) im playing again now to see what the new team is doing with the game, no problem since the monthly fee was indefinitely suspended.
However i wont encourage you to buy and try this game at this point, if you don't have it yet you might just wait until the ps3 version is out, by then the game will be at a stable state, hopefully
This is just my opinion so don't get mad for me not adding any of your favorite mmos :V
not even kidding ive played a couple hundred free to play mmo's and i have to say that most of them are similar. i liked alot of them that i played, but alot of them require to spend money in a cash shop to level at a normal rate
my skype is chaoszan :P
You shod try out dungeon and dragons online or loro
loro got lots good guys good content but have a boring combat system but excellent group play system.
Ddo up downs but there are allot of players willing to help. good combat all content is instanced based fun group play but alot of players solo play then do the group play.

With evolution sure to be a hotly debated topic at the next meeting of the Texas state board of education, with a bill just introduced in the Texas legislature aimed at restoring the contentious "strengths and weaknesses" language to the standards, and with a different bill aimed at exempting the Institute for Creation Research's graduate school from the regulations governing degree-granting institutions in Texas, there's no shortage of news from the Lone Star state.
House File 183, the so-called Evolution Academic Freedom Act, died in committee in the Iowa House of Representatives on March 13, 2009.
House Bill 4224, introduced in the Texas House of Representatives on March 13, 2009, would, if enacted, require the Texas state board of education to restore the "strengths and weaknesses" language in the Texas state science standards.
House Bill 2800 (PDF), introduced in the Texas House of Representatives on March 9, 2009, would, if enacted, in effect exempt institutions such as the Institute for Creation Research's graduate school from Texas's regulations governing degree-granting institutions.
As the final vote on the proposed revision of the Texas state science standards approaches, the Austin American-Statesman (March 8, 2009) offers a profile of the chair of the Texas state board of education, avowed creationist Don McLeroy.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 -- About HTTP Basic Authentication (Domain)
From DocWiki
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 > Web Conferencing > Configuring > Configuring User Authentication
The HTTP basic authentication method is a widely used industry-standard method for collecting user ID and password information. It works as follows:
- Users are prompted by a pop-up login window that is rendered by their web browser.
- Users enter valid domain user IDs and passwords. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace profile passwords are ignored and not used in the authentication operation.
- If the web servers accept the login credentials and the user IDs also exist in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace profile databases, users are logged in automatically to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace and are granted access to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace home page.
Note: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace profile user IDs are case sensitive and must match the domain user ID of the user.
The advantage of HTTP Basic Authentication is that it is part of the HTTP specification and is supported by most browsers. The disadvantage is that the password is Base64 encoded before being sent over the network. Since Base64 is not a true encryption, it can be easily deciphered. You can mitigate this security risk by implementing Secure Socket Layer (SSL) on the web server.
See the following procedures:
- To Configure HTTP Basic Authentication (Domain)
- To Verify the HTTP Basic Authentication (Domain) Configuration
To Configure HTTP Basic Authentication (Domain)
If you are also using Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook, complete the Allowing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook Authentication before beginning this procedure.
- Sign in to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing.
- From the Welcome page, click Admin , then click Web Server .
- From the "View" section of the page, click the name of the web server that you want to configure.
- Scroll down to the Web Authentication section.
- For "Step 1: Directory," choose HTTP Basic Authentication (Domain) .
- "Step 2: Login Method" is automatically set to HTTP Basic Authentication and cannot be changed.
- Click Submit and wait five minutes for the new configuration to take effect.
- (Optional) To verify your configuration, continue with the To Verify the HTTP Basic Authentication (Domain) Configuration.
To Verify the HTTP Basic Authentication (Domain) Configuration
Use a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace end user profile when completing this procedure.
- Open a web browser and navigate to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing.
- Verify the following end-user behaviors:
- You see an Enter Network Password dialog when accessing the home page.
- If you have a local account on the Windows server and a matching profile user ID, you are authenticated to the Audio Server when you enter your domain user ID and password.
- If you have a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace profile, your name appears on the Welcome page as firstname, lastname and the Sign In link no longer displays.
- You can only log in to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace if you are authenticated by the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web server.
- In IIS, the MPWeb/Scripts folder is set to Basic Authentication.

General information
Let us introduce our Project. The association Waldorf Sevilla Girasol was founded on February 2012 in order to:
Put into practice and expand the methodology created by Rudolf Steiner, at the beginning of the XIX century, also known as Waldorf-Steiner Pedagogy.
Promote this non-profit organization in order to create a kindergarten, a primary and a secondary school following this pedagogy, approved by the Spanish Education Ministry.
Promote and support other initiatives inspired on this Waldorf Pedagogy.
On the year 2013, we opened the first playgroup in Seville, with five kids and made a great effort to show the goodness of this methodology in our community. Thanks to the hard work from the families, teacher and associates, supporting the project, we successfully opened the first official kindergarten with a free pedagogy in Seville certified by Junta de Andalucía (See BOJA, 28th dec. 2015). Inspired by these important recognition, in the year 2017 we achieved the authorization to operate as an international kindergarten and primary school.
Next school year we are going to open our second primary classroom, to continue, this way, spreading the wonderful Waldorf pedagogy to our children and our society. This project that started with just one kid, has turned into a school in motion dedicated to children's services and to the whole society.
Belangrijkste kenmerken
Our school consists of a group of parents and teachers with a strong sense of social and pedagogical commitment, whose organization and support comes from the community itself without state support.
Next school year we will be opening our second classroom for primary children, following this process of development and growth. Last September 2017 we opened the first one, and we already have students in our kindergarten who will start primary education on September next year. We are still growing.
We need economic support to equip this new classroom, but we also open our doors to those of you who want to share with us the construction of this school, as adults do in Waldorf pedagogy.
We need a blackboard, tables and chairs for the students and teacher, a sink, shelves, for materials, watercolors, a bench with a coat rack for shoes and clothes and a climate control for extreme temperatures in Sevilla.
Waarom is dit belangrijk
The International School Waldorf Sevilla Girasol has become a referent point for education in Andalucia, as an official model of free school that integrates children of different sex, culture and confessions. Waldorf pedagogy always respects the individuality of children and also their maturity process. They learn in an artistic and multicultural environment, where different languages and cultural interchanges play an important role.
Our project is therefore designed to everyone concerned with childhood and also to all these dreamers who believe in a better society based on an education towards freedom.
As Rudolf Steiner said:
"The healthy social life is only found when, in the mirror of each soul, the whole community finds its reflection, and when in the community lives the virtue of each one."
We count on an experienced group of people used to work in adverse circumstances. The process of creation and legalization of the school has benefit a great specialization inside the educational community.
Nowadays the association counts on 42 families organized in different commissions: garden, maintenance, legalization localization of a new site, library and cleaning. Every group is headed by a person responsible to coordinate them and to represent them inside the management board of the association. This management board supports the legal and economic aspects of the association.
There is also a teaching body that consists of 4 supervising teachers and 4 specialists. They are in charge of ensuring the right development of the Waldorf methodology. The representative of this teaching body is the board of teachers that coordinates the everyday life in the school.

The discovery of an unauthorized bank account at H.E. McCracken Middle School has prompted a police investigation to find answers - including whether Principal Phillip Shaw, whose been on paid leave for undisclosed reasons since Nov. 8, is connected.
The Beaufort County School District unearthed the account in a review of school operations Nov. 20 and turned the matter over to the Bluffton Police Department on Friday to bring to light details about who set it up and how it's being used, said spokesman Jim Foster, who couldn't provide details about deposits or expenditures.
"We came to a point when we couldn't determine that because the bank wouldn't talk to us because it's not our account," he said. "We don't have the authority. Law enforcement does."
He wouldn't tell what prompted the review in the first place, saying only "personnel matters," but he said the discovery of the account was not connected to Shaw's taking of leave.
Shaw continues collecting his $93,744 salary while Assistant Principal Joseph Warfield leads the school. The district previously indicated to parents that his leave would conclude before the Thanksgiving holiday, though district officials won't say whether the extension connects Shaw to the unauthorized account.
Foster renewed the district's stance against revealing whether Shaw took leave voluntarily or was forced out.
School leaders and bookkeepers at each school have access to an account for student activities and emergencies, both of which come under scrutiny from district-level officials for every expenditure, Foster said.
At this point the district can't say whether the creation of the account is a criminal offense or just a violation of policy, Foster said. Information on the "personnel matters" that prompted the initial review as well as new details about the unauthorized account will be released "if we get to a point where the public's need to know outweighs privacy," Foster said.

Orlando Chemistry Graduate Schools & Types of Degrees
Chemistry Graduate Schools offer programs of study that could lead to a graduate certificate, Master of Science (MS), Master of Arts (MA) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Chemistry degree. While each level of study has its own goals and requirements, many chemistry graduate programs allow students to explore traditional areas of analytical, organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, as well as pursue interdisciplinary research.
Some universities might offer a specific type of chemistry program. For instance, medicinal chemistry schools could have a Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Chemistry Program. Make sure to read descriptions and inquire into research opportunities to help you make your selection.
Chemistry Graduate Schools: Basics
Prospective students might get excited to look for Chemistry Graduate Schools where they could conduct the research that interests them. Nano-science, green chemistry, polymer chemistry, chemical physics, biochemistry, chemistry-engineering, and genomics are some example topics. Research efforts at each chemistry graduate school often represent faculty projects and therefore may differ greatly. You might contact a school advisor or individual faculty member whose interests mirror yours to get more information.
Chemistry Graduate Schools and Chemistry Degrees
For certain, you will want to look for chemistry graduate schools based on your educational and professional goals. A graduate degree in chemistry could help you expand your overall knowledge base, as well as augment expertise in a focal area.
Schools for Chemistry Masters Programs
Chemistry Masters Programs often entail 30 credits beyond the bachelors degree, which could take a full-time student about two years to complete. Typically, each student, along with an advisor, chooses courses to create a tailored curriculum, planned-out to match their interests.
A curriculum could include core courses which aim to increase breadth of knowledge and focus area courses that could build depth. Each may have both classroom and laboratory components. Focus areas are defined by the chemistry graduate school. For instance, concentrations could be available in organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, polymer chemistry, materials science, and biochemistry. Aside from coursework, masters in chemistry programs might offer a choice of a thesis or non-thesis (project) track. The thesis usually requires more credit hours of research than the capstone and may be great for those hoping to pursue doctoral study.
Schools for Chemistry PhD Programs
Chemistry PhD programs award terminal chemistry degrees that are research-based. Students often need to show mastery over many areas of chemistry, while at the same time, choosing an area to anchor their dissertation work. The PhD is awarded to those who contribute original input to the chemical sciences through their research and final thesis. PhD students often work closely with a faculty mentor, although they may be able to interact with faculty from other disciplines such as physics, engineering and biology.
Schools for Chemistry Graduate Certificates
Some chemistry graduate schools offer programs that could lead to a graduate certificate. Students usually need a bachelors degree to apply and may be able to use earned course credits towards the requirements of either a PhD or Master of Science in Chemistry degree. However, this varies by program, so it is best to contact schools to learn if credits may be transferable.
Admission Requirements
Most chemistry graduate schools consider your undergraduate record and could presume applicants have a bachelors degree in chemistry. Admissions committees usually ask for letters of recommendation, such as from science faculty or past advisors. Some chemistry grad schools also ask for an essay that reflect your aims and why you see the program as a fit. Other material could draw from the list below.
- GRE Scores (e.g. verbal, quantitative and chemistry
- Language Exams
- Curriculum Vitae or Resume
Make sure you check in advance to determine the requirements for admission to each of the chemistry schools on your list.
Visiting Prospective Chemistry Graduate Schools
Visits to the graduate schools for chemistry that appeal to you might provide invaluable insights into the nature of the degree program, the school resources and the potential advisors. Some chemistry graduate schools might host organized events, while others might accommodate the individual. Either way, it could introduce you to the on-campus facilities in place to support your research.
Take the Next Step to Learn More About Chemistry Graduate Schools

Can we say at will to mean the same as as will?they offer us so much choice and the ability to generate new meanings at will.
No. 'At will' is an idiom meaning 'freely', or 'as, when you wish'. I am not aware of any meaning for the isolated phrase 'as will'.
