Best answer: It's not an ideal solution for pet tracking if your pet might get lost outside your home. It doesn't utilize GPS, so it can't track pets in real time. However, the Tile community could be helpful in finding a lost pet with a Tile Mate on its collar, so it might be better than nothing.
Amazon: Tile Mate ($25)
Back up a minute, what is Tile Mate now?
The Tile Mate is a small, battery-operated Bluetooth device that can be attached to objects like your keychain and connected to your smartphone. If you lose your keys, you can go into the Tile app on your phone and tap a button which causes your Tile Mate to emit a loud beep so you can find your keys.
If you lose your phone, you can tap a physical button on the Tile Mate, which will cause your phone to emit a loud sound even if it's on silent mode.
Tile also makes other products, such as Tile Pro and Tile Slim, but the answer regarding pets will be the same. Read about Tile Mate vs. Tile Pro here.
Tile Mate uses Bluetooth technology
If you tend to lose your pet within your home, such as a cat that likes to hide in nooks and crannies, a Tile Mate could be just the thing to help you out. If your pet is lost outside, past Bluetooth range, you won't be able to track your pet in real time since Bluetooth range is only about 100 feet.
I track my own dogs two ways: they wear good old-fashioned collars with ID tags, and I had them microchipped.
However, you could still possibly get an idea of where your lost pet wearing a Tile Mate on its collar could be. Tile's community, i.e. anyone who uses the Tile app, automatically and anonymously picks up your Tile Mate's signal if it's nearby. You'll get a notification in your own Tile app so you can see the most recent location of your pet if someone with the Tile app on their smartphone was near it. If your pet is moving, that's of limited usefulness, but it might be better than nothing.
If you're concerned about the safety of Bluetooth technology and the proximity of it to your pet, you can read this article from NIH.
So how should I track my pet?
I track my own dogs two ways: they wear good old-fashioned collars with ID tags, and I had them microchipped. A microchip isn't GPS either, but it does contain your contact information. if your pet is found, the microchip can be scanned by any veterinarian or at an animal shelter and you'll be contacted.
A Tile Mate is most useful for inanimate objects. If you just really want to use a Tile Mate for your pet, you can, but if your pet is farther than 100 feet away from your smartphone, you'll be dependent on the Tile community to give you an indication of where your pet was last located. Over 15 million Tile products have been sold, so it's a pretty good-sized community. Tile Mate is a pretty great product generally, especially if tend to lose track of everyday items like your keys — or your phone.
Track your stuff
Tile Mate
Keep tabs on anything that's important to you.
While Tile Mate may not be the very best way to track your pets, but for anything that doesn't move it's a fantastic tracker. Whether you tend to lose track of your phone, keys, wallet, luggage, camera, AirPods, purse, jacket, or even your car in massive parking lots, Tile Mate is a worthwhile investment.

A clawing, gnawing at the inside of my breastbone. Tears behind my eyes, but not released. Anxiety creases in the forehead. A fluttering heartbeat to my left, blankness and emptiness of the soul to the right. I see how I will do it in my head, over and over and over.
I'm noticing everything in this moment. This is what I experience in my body Every.Bloody.Time I have suicidal ideation. Which is minimally every couple hours, and right now intensely every other minute. It interrupts reading, watching tv, even doing algebra this afternoon, and while in conversations.
I watched youtube videos of Steven Hays giving ted talks about psychological flexibility and putting the mental brakes on thoughts. He is one of the founders of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_and_commitment_therapy) which is the therapy that finally worked for me. I've been practicing it for years now. The reminders in the videos helped me a bit. Hours later I'm still using tips.
I tried something, and stopped because it hurt more than planned. I'm not going to do anything, yet I'm plagued by the sensations and thoughts I described. It's miserable and horrible.
I don't want to go to the hospital, nor do I think it would help. My mom, though not currently in a position to help, has hidden things I could use to hurt myself. This is as safe an environment as it could be, I guess.
I don't think more ECT would help, though my mood feels like it dipped, and I find it easy to fall into old thought patterns besides the suicidal ideation. I had a long and emotional Friday and Saturday getting certified as a NAMI support group facilitator, something I've wanted to do for years! But it wore me out mentally and emotionally. Which could lead to a natural mood dip, which is why I think ECT would be overkill since the depression should lift after more rest (my hunch).
Several doctors and several therapists have come to independent ideas that I just have suicidal ideations as obsessive thoughts (OCD) and there isn't anything that will stop them. If I didn't have the anxiety of whether my life was threatened or the bodily sensations I described, it would be a little easier. How do I live with this terrible debate and these sensations with no way to rid myself of them, to fight them, to welcome or accept them?

2002 edition.
Some passages in scripture are difficult to understand or seem to be at variance with other passages. God is not the author of confusion and so an attempt must be made to explain the passage and then ensure that this explanation accords with the rest of scripture.
As with a jigsaw puzzle, a piece may fit but if it does not harmonise with the overall picture then it evidently is the wrong piece. This book attempts to provide explanations for some of the puzzling passages in the Bible.
Watch the author introduce his book on YouTube!
In The Genesis of Blessings, Andrew Walker lays out a lifetime's love of Genesis with a unique perspective on its structure, key themes and connections. He shows us how the book of beginnings opens with the Lord as Creator of heaven and earth, and tells of the first bridegroom and his bride, of sin and its condemnation, and of the great victory promised over all the earth through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Above all, we discover that Genesis, more than any other book, is a book of blessings, where the promises of God become the foundation for all that follows.
Readers will be excited and challeneged by the magnificent canvas on which the Almighty paints: the promises made, the people prepared, the earth waiting to be filled with His glory.
Bible Companion – set of three bookmarks
The wonderful hope of the Bible is the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to establish the kingdom of God on earth. The Bible gives us indicators that God's purpose is moving towards its completion through world events that are a fulfilment of Bible prophecy. These are 'signs of the times', generating excitement and strengthening faith.
In his Mount Olivet prophecy about these signs, Jesus emphasises to his disciples the need to watch – but what signs should we be looking for? And did Jesus just mean keeping an eye on world events and current affairs, or is there more to it?
Supplied as a single sheet.
Contains 48 ruled pages.
2002 edition. Please call us on +44 (0)121 777 6328 for initialing information.
The path we walk as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and as children of God is described as the "narrow way" – and with good reason. We regularly encounter snares, obstacles and potholes as we patiently navigate the rocky road. Yet there is also much light and beauty to enjoy as we make that journey. An A-Z of Discipleship considers the many and varied aspects of discipleship – from cultivating acceptance to showing zeal. Down-to-earth, God-centred and thought-provoking, each chapter will both comfort and challenge the reader. With questions for consideration throughout, this book can help with personal devotion or be used as a basis for group study.

Cerro Fitz Roy, Historia Sin Fin and New Pitches
South America, Argentina, Southern Patagonia
At the end of February 2010 Luciano Fiorenza, Tomy Aguilo, and I—all Argentines—completed a new route on the west pillar of Fitz Roy, on the face right of Supercanaleta and just right of Ensueño. On the first day we hiked from Chalten and climbed six pitches to a big ledge, where we fixed two pitches above and then bivied. The next day we climbed 10 pitches up steep, well-featured rock, placing natural protection, except for one belay bolt. After those 10 pitches we joined No Brain No Pain and bivied again. The following morning we climbed on, joining Tonta Suerte and eventually the Supercanaleta, reaching the summit in late day. We climbed close to 40 pitches, of which 18 were new, with difficulties to 5.10. The rock proved better than expected, and the climbing on the ridge (on Tonta Suerte and Supercanaleta) required weaving around gendarmes and other alpine trickery. We name our new line Historia Sin Fin.
The following week, with another good weather forecast, Luciano, Matias Villavicencio, and I made another foray on Fitz Roy, this time on the north face. On the first day we climbed to the Grand Hotel, a big ledge halfway up, following a line to the far left of Tehuelche, just right of the French Route, for 15 pitches (some shared with the French Route). At the Grand Hotel we took a rest day and waited out some weather. On day three we started to the right of Hoser Chimney, with much offwidth climbing leading to a roof and a long traverse to the right, followed by a chimney that we avoided by climbing the face to the side. In the evening we reached the north ridge, 350m below the summit, and descended to the Grand Hotel via Hoser Chimney. We climbed 28 pitches, up to 5.11, dubbing our effort "Clinica de Aventura."

It's an incredibly busy time at Ayers Creek Farm, but contributor Anthony Boutard takes a few moments to give us an update—along with his usual edifying elaboration—on the farm in summer.
Even when we were at Hillsdale [Farmers' Market], we went quiet for the spring, only surfacing after the 4th of July. About 15 years ago we created our farm plan to emphasize production from late summer through winter, and avoid the distraction of trying to be the first to harvest this and that. It is a very busy time for us. Ten hour or longer days for us and staff, and little room for errors. We are very grateful that the Joshes at Barbur World Foods and Rubinette Produce have kept our grains, &c. available.
Delivering Montmorency cherries to Nostrana.
We finished parching the wheat last week and it is in the drying racks. [Top photo taken after threshing and cleaning the parched wheat, a dirty job.] Fruit for preserves is coming in apace and we are aiming at an increase in the popular varieties which run out too soon. We will thresh the mustard seed next week, trying to stay ahead of the buntings, finches, sparrows and quail who fatten up on the seeds. They will be demoted to the status of gleaners. The fields are in very good shape. We have expanded the plantings of most crops, some substantially. For example, the chickpea planting has gone from 24 to 46 rows, and we have added an extra row of Astianas. Perhaps, with luck, some new, unheralded odds and ends should emerge at harvest.
Tomatillo flower and immature fruit.
There are the usual frustrations. Bad batch of potting mix did a number on the vigor of the tomatillos and cayenne peppers. The plants sat moribund for ten days and when we dug them up and looked at the roots, they had barely grown. Three days ago, in a "Hail Mary" play, we decided to lift every plant, knock off the bad potting mix, and reseat it in the ground. We will see if this works. Interestingly, when we described the problem to others, they had experienced similar disappointing results. We looked at the plants 48 hours later and they looked better already, or at least we convinced ourselves that the effort was worthwhile.
Frogs love prunes, too…who knew?
We are scrambling to clean up the orchard so we can harvest the gages and prunes later in the summer. It is nearly impenetrable at the moment. For various reason, that work was neglected for the last three years. Otherwise talented field people, our staff are absolutely bone lousy at pruning fruit trees. In the cane fields, vineyards and tomato plantings they move deftly with confidence and art, in the orchard they are timid and visionless, making matters worse. Anthony has about three more weeks of work in the orchard.
There is no biological reason to prune an orchard. Fruits trees have evolved to multiply and be fruitful without much intervention. Human introduction of insects and diseases, pruning tools that spread disease and our compulsion towards monocultures lead to most biological challenges in the orchard, not neglect. However, good pruning is essential operationally. We need to pass the tractor under the canopy and the limbs must be spaced so as to facilitate harvesting. The tractor will strip the fruit of a low limb, and the operator suffers bruises and scratches. Moreover, if the staff cannot see a perfectly ripe fruit, it does not exist and will go unpicked. Pruning makes it easier to exploit the best of the orchard. The plant's architecture at harvest is critically important in tomatoes, grapes, berries and orchard fruit.
Just shy of two weeks from now, the next two generations [of Boutards] will be out visiting us. We are now insistent they visit when there are fruits and vegetables ripening, rather than based on some nonsensical mid-winter holiday grounded in paranoid pagan ritual when the Pacific gales roar. They are old enough to run a bit feral.
Chesters in situ…
We are planning to have an "Open Farm" weekend when the first Chesters ripen. We will have parched wheat, barley and popcorn available, as well as whatever fruit is ripe. We will schedule an informal farm walk as well.
The exact weekend is impossible to nail down. The Chesters are notorious for their erratic ripening schedule. We have started harvesting as early as the 18th of July and as late as the 20th of August. After 20 years working with the fruits, we know better than to suggest we have even a glimmer of insight as to when things will get rolling. Better than the offhanded familiarity begotten by an all-too-predictable behavior. As our grandson noted with his customary theater, "I prefer to grow difficult plants."
Barn owlet "in her emine stole."
Regarding the other element of the farm's productivity, our birds, bees and insects are doing well. The barn owls raised five chicks. They are now in their immature plumage. Happens quickly. In mid June, the youngest was covered in down and looked like a duchess in her ermine stole, with just its feathers bearing new plumage. Today, the down has been shed.
Our water feature, the swan, is still about, contentedly keeping company with the three families of young geese and an oh-so-elegant great egret.
Frugivorous acorn woodpecker.
A reminder that acorn woodpeckers are frugivores, fruit eaters, equally content with both the fruit of the oak, acorns, and our staff's sweet cherries. The acorn woodpeckers also enjoy other fruits such as grain kernels (yes, they are fruit) and plums. Soon, we will hear the reedy calls of the young when they leave their nest that the colony excavated in a fir snag.

Aizawl, July 28 (IANS) While the paramilitary Assam Rifles has stepped up security on the India-Myanmar border along eastern Mizoram to stop drugs and arms smuggling, border fencing work is on in western Mizoram along the India-Bangladesh frontiers, an official said here on Friday.
"Of Mizoram's 318-km border with Bangladesh, 233 km is to be fenced by March 2019," an official of Mizoram's home department said.
"Barbed wire fencing has been undertaken in 2005 to check various border crimes, smuggling of arms and drugs and cross-border movement of militants."
He said: "After the visit of the Madhukar Gupta Committee along Mizoram borders with Bangladesh, the Union Home Ministry recently asked to stop fencing work of the 'unfenced' border without citing any reason. The work would resume soon."
The official said the fencing work along the India-Bangladesh border with Mizoram has been delayed due to several reasons, including topographical adversaries.
Two central government agencies — Engineering Projects India Limited and National Projects Construction Corporation Limited — are erecting the border fencing in Mizoram.
The Assam Rifles, anti-insurgency trained paramilitary force, has stepped up security on the India-Myanmar border along eastern Mizoram to stop drugs, arms smuggling and cross-border movement of inimical elements.
An Assam Rifles official said the higher authority of the central paramilitary force has alerted troops deployed along the 510 km-long India-Myanmar border with Mizoram to tighten vigil along the porous border.
Acting on a tip-off, the Assam Rifles troopers recently seized five AK-56 rifles, some loaded magazines and ammunition between Farkawn and Vaphai villages in Mizoram adjoining Myanmar. These weapons were likely meant to be sold to Manipur-based insurgent groups.
Until 1986, after two decades of terrorism, Mizoram become a peaceful state but the arms and drugs smuggling from Myanmar has become rampant in recent years.
To review security along the India-Myanmar border, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh accompanied by his deputy Kiren Rijiju last month held a meeting in Aizawl with the Chief Ministers and senior officers of four northeastern states, which share borders with Myanmar.
Arunachal Pradesh (520 km), Manipur (398 km), Nagaland (215 km) and Mizoram (510 km) share the 1,643-km mountainous border.
There is a 16-km-wide free zone (eight km on either side) along the unfenced border.
Nagaland is unwilling to erect fencing along the India-Myanmar border, citing spoiling of relations among the ethnic tribals living on both sides of the boundary.

The Immigrant as Innovator
Technology areas where immigrant inventors were prevalent between 1880 and 1940 experienced more patenting between 1940 and 2000.
Immigrants are over-represented, relative to their population shares, among those who receive patents and develop new technologies. In Immigration and the Rise of American Ingenuity (NBER Working Paper No. 23137), Ufuk Akcigit, John Grigsby, and Tom Nicholas examine the long-run links between immigration and innovation. They find that talented immigrant inventors often have paved the way for long-term innovation, while receiving significantly lower compensation than their native-born counterparts.
Winners and Losers from the H-1B Visa Program
Using U.S. Patent and Trade Office and U.S. Census data, the researchers study the "golden age of U.S. invention," the period from 1880 to 1940. Some immigrant inventors, like the Scottish-born Alexander Graham Bell, made direct innovative contributions. Others made "spillover" contributions, such as those of the Chicago-based French engineer Octave Chanute to the work of Wilbur and Orville Wright. The researchers geographically track where immigrant inventors worked, as well as the geographic and patent classes of their filings. After 1940, when the Census began recording information on wages and income, they also consider the earnings of inventors.

A week ago, I had to rush to the supermarket to buy some whipped cream for a panna cotta dessert to serve for brunch. On my way to the dairy aisle, I was stopped by a food demonstrator. "Ma'am, would you like to try some shish taouk?" He handed me a generous slice that matched his generous smile.
My taste buds woke up with a jolt. "Do you have a recipe?" I asked. He pointed to the shelf behind him where packaged trays of marinated chicken were lined up. "Here they are," he said.
"You mean, that's it – just put them on the grill?" He grinned sheepishly. "I actually put dollops of this." He showed me a Classico sauce bottle called Alfredo and Roasted Garlic. "Anyway, it's my own version," he said with a hint of embarrassment.
I loved it.
Supermarkets in large cities like Montreal now sell chicken parts (mostly breasts, thighs and legs) marinated in shish taouk sauce which people throw into their barbecue grill.
Shish taouk is actually Turkish in origin, according to Wikipedia, which means "skewers", but is also popular in Syria, Lebanon and Israel. I have a weakness for Middle Eastern food, which is why I like to shop often in stores that sell Arabic cuisine. They seem to have the best nuts as well.
We're lucky to have Adonis in Montreal. Adonis is a large supermarket chain that specializes in Middle Eastern cuisine. They have the best shish taouk chicken I've ever tasted. They sell them fresh or already grilled. They throw in two large-size pitas and two extra cups of garlic sauce when you buy them already grilled. They're opening a branch nearer my place so I'm looking forward to opening day. In the branch I used to shop, parking was atrocious (Montrealers come in droves, at all times of the day). They have specialty ice cream, the freshest fruits and vegetables imaginable, and a nut counter that you can't resist. Their cold cuts and pastry counters carry an impressive array of goodies that you won't find anywhere else. If you should ever visit Montreal, make it a point to drop by Adonis; that is, if you're a full-fledged foodie.
If you like Shish taouk like I do, here's a quick way to make it:
1 packaged tray of Shish Taouk chicken (if your supermarket does not sell them, you can buy your favorite chicken part and marinate them overnight with garlic paste)
1 bottle Classico sauce, Alfredo and Roasted Garlic (your local supermarket will have its own product line of sauces, I don't know if they carry Classico, but I'm 99.99% sure they'll have a brand that has a similar Alfredo and Roasted Garlic flavor)
1/2 cup green onions, diced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
- Pre-heat your grill for five minutes, after spraying.
- Put your chicken and grill for 5 minutes on each side. If your parts are thick, you may want to increase grilling time by another 5 minutes. The idea is to cook the chicken so it is no longer pink, but don't overcook it.
- Pre-heat your oven 350 degrees. When the chicken parts are grilled, put them in a rectangular dish and pour the sauce generously over them. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
(The words below the picture say "short cut shish taouk before going into the oven." I had started to pour the sauce but realized I did not take a picture, so you'll notice that the sauce is covering only a few pieces of chicken. You'll need to pour the sauce over all the chicken)
- When you take out your chicken from the oven, sprinkle your diced green onions and red peppers on top. Serve over a plate of wild or white rice. A green salad like "tabouleh" would complement this dish beautifully.
Again, the words below simply say, "short cut shish taouk before serving."
Tip: if your chicken breasts are too thick, you may want to slice them into two just to make sure that they get cooked well. Also, I noticed that the sauce tends to be on the thick side. You could add a tablespoon or two of skimmed milk to make it less thick. You can throw in your own garnish like sesame seeds or parsley.
This one's definitely a keeper. When friends say they're dropping by, this dish is something you can prepare in about 45 minutes. Plus you can't beat four ingredients!

All-Star selection (2000)
Joe Girardi (born October 14, 1964) is an American former baseball manager and catcher. Girardi is an East Peoria native who played for the Peoria Chiefs, was the 2006 National League Manager of the Year with Florida, plus he has a pin-striped pedigree. He managed the Florida Marlins in 2006 and New York Yankees from 2008–2017.
He attended East Peoria Central Junior High School. He then attended Spalding Institute (now merged into Peoria Notre Dame High School) in Peoria, Illinois, where he played quarterback for head football Coach Tommy Kahn and was the catcher for Coach David Lang's baseball teams. He went on to play baseball at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in industrial engineering, and he was initiated into the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity.
Playing careerEdit
He began his major league playing career in 1989 with the Chicago Cubs, staying with them through 1992. He was taken by the Colorado Rockies in the expansion draft before the 1993 season, playing for them through 1995. He was traded in 1995 to the New York Yankees for pitcher Mike DeJean. Girardi is best known as the Yankees' regular catcher during that period, earning three World Series rings in 1996, 1998, and 1999. In 1996, Girardi caught Dwight Gooden's no-hitter and in 1999, he caught David Cone's perfect game.
In 2000, Girardi left the Yankees and returned to the Chicago Cubs, where he was named to that year's All-Star team, his only All-Star appearance. He played with the Cubs again in 2001 and 2002. In 2003, Girardi played for St. Louis Cardinals.
As a Cub, Joe Girardi announced to the fans at Wrigley Field that the game on June 22, 2002 versus the Cardinals had been canceled, though he did not announce that the cancellation was prompted by Darryl Kile's death. Girardi tearfully gave the news at 2:37 p.m. CDT, broadcast nationally on FOX: "I thank you for your patience. We regret to inform you because of a tragedy in the Cardinal family, the commissioner has canceled the game today. Please be respectful. You will find out eventually what has happened, and I ask that you say a prayer for the St. Louis Cardinals' family."
Broadcasting careerEdit
After a spring training stint with the Yankees in 2004, Girardi retired and became a commentator for the YES Network, and hosted the youth-oriented Kids on Deck. He received positive reviews for his abilities as a broadcaster, and was offered an expanded role on 2005 Yankee broadcasts. Girardi, however, decided to become a coach instead.
Girardi worked games 3–5 of the 2006 World Series for FOX as part of the network's pregame and postgame team, along with host Jeanne Zelasko and regular analyst Kevin Kennedy.
After fielding managerial offers for the 2007 season, Joe Girardi instead came to terms with the YES network to return to the broadcast booth for 60 plus games as a Yankees analyst, and co-host a new show on the network, Behind The Plate, with John Flaherty, also a former Yankee catcher.[1] Girardi also served as color commentator for the No.2 booth (Usually with Thom Brennaman) on MLB on Fox.
Coaching careerEdit
In 2005, after rejecting an offer to become the bench coach of the Florida Marlins with a guarantee to become the team's manager in 2006 (although he would eventually get that job anyway), he became the Yankees' bench coach. He even managed a game during a Joe Torre suspension, which the Yankees lost against the last place Kansas City Royals. Girardi remained the host of Kids on Deck in 2005, having shot his shows before Spring Training. YES promoted Kids on Deck during games by showing Girardi on camera sitting in the dugout during breaks in the game.
Managerial careerEdit
Florida MarlinsEdit
After the 2005 regular season, Girardi was named the manager of the Florida Marlins, replacing departed manager Jack McKeon. His first notable action as manager was to prohibit facial hair, a policy similar to that of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, except for mustaches which Girardi prohibited as well.
As a first-time manager for the Marlins, Girardi guided the team into a surprising wild card contention (finishing with a 78–84 record) even though the team had the lowest payroll in Major League Baseball,[2] approximately $14 million for 2006. Despite the success Girardi achieved in his first year as manager, he was nearly fired in early August when he got into a vocal (and visible) argument with Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria during a game. According to witnesses and video footage, the Marlins owner was heckling homeplate umpire Larry Vanover. When the umpire warned Girardi about the harassment, Girardi and his bench coach Gary Tuck then turned to Loria and told him to stop. Loria had to be talked out of firing Girardi immediately after the game. Rumors persist that Girardi used profanity toward Loria, but many are skeptical of this accusation because Girardi is Christian and has never been known to use profanity. Skeptics say the accusation of profanity was a smear campaign from the Marlins front office in order to justify their firing of Girardi.[3]
On October 3, 2006, the Marlins announced that they had fired Girardi. Girardi said only that he appreciated the opportunity to manage the club, a move that was seen as classy across the Major Leagues and kept him at the top of many teams' list of manager candidates. Girardi was thought to be among the leading candidates to replace Yankee manager Joe Torre after the Yankees' loss in the 2006 American League Division Series, but Torre remained with the Yankees. He was also a candidate for the Chicago Cubs manager position to succeed Dusty Baker and interviewed for the job just days after leaving the Marlins. With his playing experience in Chicago, he was considered a front-runner for the position even before the season was over.[citation needed] However, the Cubs chose to go with veteran manager Lou Piniella. Girardi took himself out of the running for the Washington Nationals' managerial job shortly thereafter and returned to the broadcast booth for the YES Network in 2007, doing this, he said, because it otherwise would have meant a third move in as many years for his family.[citation needed] Despite Girardi's firing, he was rewarded for his achievements with the Marlins in 2006 with the National League Manager of the Year Award and The Sporting News Manager of the Year Award for the National League.
New York YankeesEdit
In June 2007, Girardi was interviewed for the Orioles vacant managerial position (left vacant by the firing of Sam Perlozzo). On June 21, Girardi's agent informed news outlets that Girardi would be passing on the Orioles' offer to become their next manager. Many opined that Girardi would be the next Yankee manager.[citation needed] On October 22, Girardi was the first to interview for the Yankees manager job. Girardi was reported to be the Yankee's managerial choice on October 29,[4] and he officially accepted the deal on October 30. The contract is a 3-year deal, reportedly worth around $7.5 million.[5]
Girardi chose to wear number 27 as the new manager of the Yankees. He also selected the number to signify that he wants to lead the Yankees to their 27th world championship.[6] Upon taking over the team, Girardi banned players from eating junk food products in the clubhouse.[7]
On April 1, Girardi won his first game as manager of the Yankees, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 3–2.
On May 22, Girardi was ejected for the first time as Yankees manager for arguing against a strike out call on first baseman Jason Giambi against the Baltimore Orioles. He received a one-game suspension.[8] He was ejected for a second time on July 6 for arguing balls and strikes with home plate umpire Laz Diaz in the 8th inning of a Sunday night Yankees-Red Sox game. Then again in another Red Sox game when Derek Jeter was stroked out May 4, 2009.
On August 2, 2008, Girardi participated in his first Old Timer's Day. It was the last Old Timer's game played at the original Yankee Stadium.
On October 26, Girardi's tenure as manager of the Yankees ended after his contract expired. It was confirmed through Yankees leadership that he would not return as manager.
Personal lifeEdit
Girardi is married to Kimberly Girardi, and has three children, Serena, Dante, and Lena. His father's name is Jerry Girardi and his mother's name was Angela. His father is currently suffering from dementia.

I first started running the way most of us probably did – being forced to run the mile in elementary school gym class. I was always out of breath and one of the last to finish besides the walkers, but I always tried my best. From this early on there was something about running that really made me want to be good at it.
I never pushed much further than a mile until I joined cross-country in middle school. The main reason for joining CC was that I was a very impressionable middle-schooler trying to fit in and for some reason a few friends joined so naturally I did too. I began to realize running farther than a mile really felt GOOD. Then I saw the incredible results of all these after school practices when I lost a bunch of weight. As a chubby kid weighed down (pun intended) by all the pressures of the media to look a certain way, this had a major impression on me.
I've never stopped running since. However, I didn't go from the ~2 mile middle school races to 10 miles easily or quickly. I began just running on my own all throughout high school and ran my first 5k when I was a sophomore in college. I did another 5k as a junior but I never really thought of running as a serious thing I do – I just felt like it was something I could do for charity/good causes/a way to bond with people around me. (I did one of these 5k's with my boss at the time who has completed an Iron Man race!!! I did not keep pace with him whatsoever haha but it was a cool bonding experience).
Over the next few years (end of college & post-grad), it became therapeutic for me but still casual. It was just something I do that I never really thought about. I did gradually begin to run longer distances (4-5 miles).
In 2017, when I moved to Thailand, it became essential for my mental well being – it was my way of dealing with the stresses of being in a foreign country, the everyday misunderstandings and exhaustion, the worry about being far from home, etc. It became a lot harder for me due to the heat and humid weather so I went back to 2-3 mile runs. (I did have a gym at my apartment building but it didn't have AC so I'd usually just run on this path by a river since it was a nicer view.) It also became harder to fit running into my schedule since I was working full-time for the very first time, but since it was my main source of stress relief, I made it work.
In 2018, running became something much more to me. It became proof of what I can do – what I can set my mind to. It became a love and a passion that I believe will last for life. It is so many things to me. I began running 5-7 miles each time I would go. I experimented a lot more by starting to take different paths or running in the early morning instead of the afternoon and in different weather conditions.
I ran an 8k in March (Shamrock Shuffle), a 10k in July (Chicago 10k) and just completed a 10 mile race (Chicago 10 mile) in September. I hope to complete a half marathon next!
When I run a race now, it's a completely personal experience – I observe what thoughts cross my mind in a meditative manner and I feel myself working things out and processing emotions I didn't even realize were there much more efficiently and methodically. At the same time it's a completely collective experience, as I'm passing others and as others pass me, there's this sense that we all know running is freaking hard and therefore we're all cheering for each other. We're proud of each other for putting our bodies through this, for being so brave to challenge ourselves to our very core and we all want every single person there to win, to cross that line, to share that adrenaline rush of emotion when you've completed a goal that at one time seemed impossible.
In honor of completing my 10-mile race last weekend I wanted to document the way I got there. When I first set out to write this I planned to list physical steps I took (see below) but then I started writing and everything above just flowed onto the page because running is so many things to me now: it's individual, it's collective, it's mental and physical, it's pain and it's pleasure. If this article helps or motivates even one other person in the world I will feel that I've accomplished something great because running can truly change your perspective about the world, about what you're capable of and changing a simple way you think can change your life and so much more.
Here's what I do:
I run every other day because that's what I found works best for me personally. I do a hard run and then take one recovery day. I might work on my upper body or core the next day because balance is important but I give my legs at least one day's rest.
Pay attention your pace & keep checking in to make sure you haven't strayed– I think this is the biggest problem most people run into because people will start out too fast at the beginning and wear themselves out before they get very far or speed up when the adrenaline/pre-workout is really kicking in and use up those energy reserves too early on. This is especially easy to do during races because people either get competitive and want to pass others so they pick up the pace or if you find yourself running next to someone else you might just naturally adjust to their pace without thinking about it. So my biggest tip is to try to constantly stay conscious of your pace throughout. (If you listen to music, you can try to pick songs with a tempo that matches your personal pace to make it a little easier on yourself).
I use the Nike Plus app to keep track of my runs, distances, pace, etc. I really like the badges feature so there are always new goals to complete. It also lets you know every time you've broken your own record times/distances.
Diet: I maintain a pretty healthy diet the majority of the time. That could be another whole post in itself so I'll just say what I do before/after a run. Before a run I try to stick with veggies/carbs because they digest much faster than protein. Protein is definitely needed after a run though so your muscles can repair. I also like a natural version of Gatorade to hydrate and make sure you're getting your electrolytes back (listed below). Finally, running is so good for you but causes a lot of inflammation in the body so I take turmeric tablets to try to counteract some of that. (There's a ton of good recipes for adding turmeric powder to food/smoothies too if you don't like tablets).
(Everyone that knows me knows I'm really into NATURAL health supplements and prefer vegan when possible- so here's what I use.)

Older adults may eventually reach a stage when they are no longer able to live independently and must rely on the support of a nursing aid. For communities in Alpharetta senior home care involves round the clock assistance and professional resources to ease the burden of cognitive and physical changes. There are a number of steps that can be taken to ensure that healthy and affordable options are made available at the right time.
Residential assistance is becoming an increasingly popular solution for those who wish to remain living in the home and not proceed to a retirement village. Elders should be offered structured support services that include the means to maintain sanitation, bathe, and complete minor organization activities for patients. A number of strategies must be implemented that will tend to specific senior needs with a professional approach.
A great number of older adults find it difficult to make the transition to move from the home to a frail care facility or retirement village. In-home services are available to ensure that individuals are equipped and provided the resources to continue to live within their place of residence. It is important to assess the options available with such services to produce safe, reliable, and effective results.
There are a number of beneficial services that are provided to support many seniors looking to remain within their place of residence. Professional staff will aid in preparing meals, implement hygiene standards, assist with bathing, walking, tending to laundry, and light forms of maintenance. The assistants can ensure that appointments are met and help seniors take their medication of a regular basis.
For adults who are significantly affected by ailments, it is important to have professional carers available. Aging can place physical and cognitive limitations on individuals making it hard to perform previous activities. With the assistance of experienced and qualified care, it will reduce the amount of stress and strain that a great number of elders experience.
Many families suffer from the stress and burden of having to provide for the needs of ailing seniors on a regular basis. Reliance on a qualified and experienced carer will provide peace of mind that particular needs are being met and individuals are safe. All relatives must be honest and discuss options for assistance to make the change less uncomfortable.
Seniors should be provided qualified care. Staff with experience and a familiarity working with elders can provide for specific needs and assist individuals to remain in residence for an extended period. Such measures aim to provide for specific senior requirements and maintain safety.

Estrada testifies over 'bribe attempt'
Former Philippines President Joseph Estrada testified on Tuesday that he was offered a bribe three years ago but turned it down.
Mr Estrada said the offer appeared to come on behalf of an Argentine company bidding for a government contract.
Mr Estrada, who was brought down by popular protests two years ago, is himself being tried on charges of plunder.
He told the Senate that a businessman approached him in 1999 in connection with a bid for a government contract by Argentina's Industrias Metalurgicas Pescarmona SA (Impsa).
"Sir, $14m has been reserved for the Office of the President," Mr Estrada said he had been told by Mark Jimenez.
Mr Jimenez later became Mr Estrada's adviser on Latin American affairs and was elected to the House of Representatives in 2001.
He was extradited to the United States in December to face charges of fraud and tax evasion.
Mr Estrada turned down the offer from Mr Jimenez, who he assumed was representing Impsa, he said.
He told the Senate he had not considered it a bribe offer at the time.
The contract for Impsa to repair a hydroelectric plant was approved by the government of President Gloria Arroyo shortly after Mr Estrada was toppled.
Her government has said the contract was legal.
Mr Estrada was taken from a military hospital to the Senate by police convoy under helicopter guard for his testimony.
He has been confined to the military hospital during his own trial due to arthritis.
Prosecutors allege the former president stole nearly $80m during his time in office.
Mr Estrada has denied the charges.
Plunder is a crime which is punishable by death in the Philippines - but officials have said that if Mr Estrada is convicted his life will probably be spared.

My daughter prepares to stir the homemade pasta sauce in the tradition of our family. The torch has been passed! -tangledpasta.net
By Mary Anna Violi | @MaryAnnaVioli
It is no secret among those who know me well that I love to cook. This culinary love affair began when I was a child. My mother created magic in the kitchen, and the food she served up was not only tantalizing, but also made with love. She delighted in the culinary arts, though in later years she complained that it would have been nice if she could have convinced my father to dine out with her once a week. No such luck, however, for over 60 years of marriage and kitchen wizardry had spoiled him so that he refused to believe any restaurant's food could compare with hers. He had a point.
Hanging around the kitchen as my mother cut, sliced, sautéed, roasted, for whatever the evening's menu was, found her giving me tasks to assist. I learned how to measure ingredients, how to slice onions and not weep all over them, and how to gauge enough pasta for our family with enough left in case another family member or friend dropped by during dinner. One of the most vital dishes I learned at her side was how to make our family's pasta sauce. The olive oil my father's sisters sent us from Italy was a key ingredient, for he had purchased olive groves for them. I fetched two quarts of Mama's home canned tomato juice from the cellar shelves for this splendid feast. Usually, Mama had a thick cut of chuck roast, which I learned to sprinkle with onions, garlic and oregano, salt, and pepper browning in the fragrant olive oil. She would then pour the home canned tomato juice over the meat. I like to toss in the big bay leaf. The sauce would then be brought to a boil, stirred, and then allowed to simmer for hours.
The shape of the pasta was usually spaghetti or linguine. My personal favorites were rigatoni and rotini. While my maternal grandfather was still living, he and my late grandmother dined with us every evening and Sunday afternoon. Grandfather preferred spaghetti pasta, so that is what we usually ate on Thursdays and Sundays. Always Daddy's homemade ultra-dry red wine made from California grapes sat on the table. That is how I learned to drink wine: with dinner, with family, not in a bar. To this day I generally have a glass of dry red wine with my dinner, unless I am eating fish, in which case I imbibe a glass of crisp, dry white wine.
While I relish eating Indian, Japanese, and Vietnamese food, I cook none of those cuisines, for I enjoy eating these entrees at particular restaurants with friends. I cook Italian food, fresh, healthy, and made with my mother's elusive, key ingredient: Love.
Ciao for now.

|I wore my new raspberry trench...Antz is not a fan. I'm not sure if I love it yet, we'll see how it holds up in the rain.
We are definitely taking a hiatus for awhile. Nothing planned for the next month so far except my usual acupuncture, Liv's Scruffin Rock class and our tax appointment. I am still trying to decide/and confirm where we are going for Liv's birthday. How about you lovelies? Any vacations, birthdays or exciting plans coming soon? I find it more fun to have something to look forward to. I need to figure out how to get to Hawaii cause I am super bummed we aren't going to London for the Olympics *sadface*
MAJOR BUMMER!! I was all prepared to give a glowing review about my ASOS leather brogues order. I just received it and I am not happy. Not only did they send me the wrong size *stupid European sizing* but the shoes look worn and have marks on them. Le sigh, I'm apprehensive to reorder them but they are so darn cute and affordable. I can't even tell you how they fit cause they sent a size 8 and my Bigfoot feet are a 10. They feel really hard but all leather shoes need breaking in. Come on Asos, I thought we were cool!!
|Looks like two left feet to me
|Maybe white shoes is a bad choice for me
|Scuffed soles, someone wore these, ew!

Remember the old ADIDAS acronym in school? All day I dream about sex. Seriously. I never used to be that way. Perhaps that was because I was so busy working my butt off that I was too exhausted to think about it. I think about sex all the time, probably because I don't get it nearly enough as I'd like and my hours have been cut to part-time. Now I have time on my hands to not only think about sex but to feel horny as fuck most of the time – even at work.
It seems that when I do actually have sex, it's like a floodgate opening, and I just crave it more and more. The best way to describe it is I feel like I have a fire inside that needs attention. It's almost a burning hot horny sensation like nothing I've ever felt. If someone simply touched me, it would make me cum. That's how hot and sensitive I have become since becoming a cougar – just a deep burning passion that cannot be explained in words.

|A new Easter flag to welcome our friends to Games Night!
Every one arrived shortly after 3:00 and Hubby took the guys out for a spin around the block in the new truck (so much for it being clean, sigh). When they got back we put out some snacks and got everyone a drink and the we got right into the games!
|It was a beautiful day so Hubby decided to
wash Black Beauty, (AGAIN!).
|It is a pretty truck, especially when it's
gleaming in the sunlight!
The first game was the Elimination Game. Last week I mailed each of the four guests ten playing cards and I gave Hubby his own set of ten right before the game. There were two cards left over in case anyone wanted to trade. I had a matching set of cards in a bag and, one by one, I pulled out each card and the corresponding card was eliminated. After each group of ten cards there was a small consolation prize and the person with the final card got to select a prize from the Prize Basket. All the prizes were wrapped so that nobody knew what they were getting but these guys have all been here before so the knew to go right for the packages that felt like boxes of chocolates! Everyone loves chocolates, right? The other prizes included shower gel, packs of Kleenex, a novel, a puzzle book, lottery tickets, etc. There wasn't anything really expensive, it was all just for a laugh. The winner of the Elimination game, not surprisingly, managed to find the biggest box of chocolates!
|The Easter Bunny Girls.
|The dining room / games table is all
set for a night of fun!
|A close-up of my beautiful birthday orchid.
|Home-made butter tarts were just part of the dessert menu.
|Here are the games and the prize basket.
|The Elimination game is under way!
|The winner of the Elimination game gets to select the
first prize from the basket.
The next game was trivia contest. I found a great and timely quiz on the CBC website about the recent demise of the penny. The quiz is just below and I'll put the answers at the end of this post if you want to play.
1. Four of the five designs that have appeared on the reverse side of the penny have included maple leaves. What was the fifth design?
A portrait of a rock dove
A rendering of the Atlantic puffin
A view of the St. Lawrence River
A sketch of the Canadian Rockies
2. About 35 billion pennies have been minted since 1908. If they were stacked on top of each other, this would be the equivalent height of this many CN Towers:
3.The federal government announced plans to withdraw the penny, owing to production costs. How much did it cost to make one penny?
1.6 cents
2 cents
3.1 cents
5 cents
4. The net cost of redeeming the six billion pennies expected to be turned in over the next six years will cost the federal government:
5.How many pennies can you cram into a four-litre pickle jar?
344 pennies, or $3.44
4,992 pennies or $49.92
12,280 pennies or $122.80
175,333 pennies or $1,753.33
6.This country has also eliminated the single-unit coin from circulation:
New Zealand
All of the above
7.The last penny was produced in May 4, 2012 in which city?
London, England
Ottawa, Ont.
Winnipeg, Man.
Calgary, Alta.
8.A rare Canadian penny sold for $402,500 US at auction in January 2010. The penny, one of three ever made, bears this unique feature:
A misspelling of the word "Canada"
A small dot below the year
Renderings of both King George V and Edward VII
A hexagon shape
9.The letters KG appear on the penny below the maple leaf. This stands for:
King George, in honour of the monarch who preceded Queen Elizabeth
Kingston and Gatineau, to mark Canada's bilingual tradition
George Edward Kruger Gray, the artist who designed the maple leaf twig design for the penny
Kilogram, a reference to the metric unit of measurement standard in Canada
10.Pennies produced from 1982 to 1996 were unique in this respect:
They were made of copper-plated zinc
They were no longer round but rather had 12 sides
They didn't have "Canada" printed on them
They were extra lucky
After that we tried playing a game called "Don't Fall" but Larry got a perfect score of eleven on his first try so we stopped there and moved on to the Memory Test. This proved to be a lot harder. Everyone got to study a plate that held 13 items for 30 seconds and then the plate was taken away. The most anyone could remember was 11 of the 13. More surprisingly, when we we repeated the test later in the evening with the same items, most people did even worse!
|Larry played this winning entry in the "Don't Fall" game
in his first try!
|This is the Memory Test Game. The best anyone
could do was 11 of 13 items.
|Freddy was the King of backgammon and,
of course, crokinole!
|The only game I won all night was Blockus!
After supper we went back to the games. We had a game of Yahtzee with everyone and then we broke up into a couple of groups and played crokinole and Blockus. Blockus was the only game I won all night but by then all the prizes had been given out. Oh, well. It probably wouldn't have looked good if I awarded myself a prize! We had great fun even though I didn't feel well and I'm looking forward to the next time we have Games Night, maybe it should be a semi-annual event!
(answers to the penny quiz - (1) A portrait of a rock dove, (2) 100,000, (3) 1.6 cents, (4) $38,300,000, (5) 4,992 pennies or $49.92, (6) All of the above, (7)

Synopsis Edit
Move the mouse to any place of the screen with a few keystrokes by zooming (as much precision as you want).
Description Edit
When the command is invoked the mouse is warped to the center of the screen and a outline is drawn dividing the screen in 4 squares. You can then press an arrow key (or HJKL key) and the mouse will be warped to the center of a subset of the squares, half the size of the previous area. each new keystroke will half the area, increasing precision exponentially. When you press the spacebar or enter a mouse click is performed. If you press ESC no click will be made, but the mouse will be moved to that position.
The idea was inspired by a similar proyect shown in the Yahoo Hack Day '06: http://www.semicomplete.com/presentations/hackday06/
The keys QWAS can also be used for warping the mouse to one of the four quarters of the square, which would result in even less keypresses.
Installation Edit
Copy this script somewhere in your load-path (~/.sawfish/lisp by default) and add the following line in your ~/.sawfish/rc file.
(require 'Mousetrap)
Configuration Edit
You can bind a key to mousetrap-left-click using sawfish-ui

The crane was an American 8470. The operator first attempted to pick the panel of the slab at 47 feet. He then repositioned the crane twice more and finally got the panel off the slab and was attempting to boom it up and the crane would not boom up. The next thing the crew said they heard a loud noise from the back of the crane and then the boom buckled. This update report came in on 5/1/99: The American 8470 accident in San Diego was an Anthony crane and the panel hit the boom causing it to buckle.
The loud pop that job crew heard coming from back of crane was boom wire stacking up on itself next to boom winch drum flange which caused a severe shock on boom transition section located next to hammerhead when it fell off itself . Boom wire was brand new and this being first job in service. Consequently bottom cords of transition section buckled (open throat) causing boom to fail . After accident it was also noticed that transition section was also a hi-reach taper tip section (4″ chords) instead of Hammer head transition section (4/1/2″ chords ) which could have possibly added slightly to failure of boom. Thanks again!
Operator: Chris Taylor
P. S. The panel NEVER touched the boom, not even close!!!
