What is a managed account?
A managed account simply trades a set strategy on behalf of members who either do not want to trade themselves, do not have the time to trade themselves, do not understand the strategy, or who might have had issues implementing the strategy. The managed accounts for Steady Options are offered through Lorintine Capital. Lorintine Capital is a separate company from Steady Options. It is a Registered Investment Advisory firm (CRD# 151204) with offices in Dallas, Texas and Gilbert, Arizona. Lorintine Capital currently uses TD Ameritrade Institutional as its primary broker.
Separate paperwork must be filled out to open a managed account. All managed accounts must have investment advisory agreements with Lorintine Capital and completed brokerage account documents with TD Ameritrade Institutional (all of which can be filled out electronically and DocuSigned).
Steady Option members in certain countries (such as Canada), may not be able to open an account. If you live outside of the United States and wish to know if you can open an account, please email Lorintine Capital (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The brokerage account is established in the client's name and gives the client full access to it. This means individuals can check the balance, view all of the trades as they occur, deposit/withdraw money, and generally maintain control over the account. If account holders decide to close the account or transfer money out of the account, we hope they communicate with us to make the process easy, but clients can always call TD Ameritrade Institutional directly and transfer the funds or close the account.Investors receive monthly statements from both TD Ameritrade Institutional and Lorintine Capital.
What Steady Options strategies are available for managed accounts?
There are two strategies currently available for managed accounts – the Anchor Trade Strategy and the Steady Momentum Strategy. The core Steady Options strategy and the Creating Alpha Strategy are not available through a managed account. Members will have to continue to trade those themselves.
The Anchor Strategy can be opened in leveraged or unleveraged form depending on each individual investors objectives and risk tolerance. The account minimum for the Anchor Strategy is $50,000, and Steady Momentum has an account minimum of $100,000.
How are managed accounts run (e.g. how are trades made)?
All investor accounts in each strategy are treated equally through block trading. After the order has been filled, the position is then distributed to individual accounts based on the average fill price of executed block orders.
How do I open a managed account and how much do they cost?
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com to initiate the process. There is a basic level of due diligence to ensure the investment is appropriate for your risk tolerances and current financial situation. The typical account opening process, depending on the investors funding source and if the investor promptly returns the paperwork, takes 5-10 business days.
Fees vary by account size and by what Steady Options subscription an investor currently has. Accounts in excess of $200,000 are charged an annualized management fee of 0.75% by Lorintine Capital and your Steady Options product specific fee is waived. For example, if you currently subscribe to the Anchor Trades strategy for $995/year, for as long as your account remains above $200,000, that fee will be waived. Note: this does not apply to the Steady Options bundle although the bundle fee will be discounted.
Accounts under $200,000 are charged a Lorintine Capital management fee of 1% and Steady Options subscriptions are reduced by fifty percent (50%).
Steady Options will bill for Steady Options' services. Lorintine Capital's fees will be deducted monthly directly from the TD Ameritrade Institutional account.
For any other questions relating to managed accounts, please just reach out to anyone at Lorintine Capital or Steady Options.

Pattaya's police chief is spending 6 million baht of his own money to upgrade the small, shabby Soi 9 city police station.
Pol. Col Supachai Puikaewkam said he consulted with his wife, Roi-et Deputy Gov. Juriporn Sinthuphrai before deciding to dip into his own pocket to revamp that station, which is so small officers must work in the parking lot and even small motorbikes often cannot find a place to park.
"I worked as a deputy suppression superintendent here, so I know the root of various problems the station has," the police chief said.
"The police station is small and some areas are not even in order. I will solve this issue by using my own money to renovate the station but those wanting to donate can do so," Supachai said. "The superintendent's office will be moved to the second floor of the seaside Rak Vinai building and will be bigger to accommodate citizens wanting to visit or file a direct complaint, as well as make them feel at home and not nervous."
Pol. Col Supachai Puikaewkam (2nd left) is spending his own money to upgrade Pattaya Police Station.
He said another floor will be added to increase the number of offices. A patrol-officers room and press-briefing room also will be added.
"The most important room is the one-stop service room downstairs, where we will add systems from Kasikorn Bank. I want citizens using the services to be impressed and get all services at one place."
He did urge those working in the larger station to conserve energy, as more lights equal higher utility bills.
"This is what I planned originally after accepting the superintendent's job because Pattaya city is visited by foreigners worldwide on vacations, some foreigners invest in real estate and live their retirement life here," Supachai said. "If the station develops for the better, citizens will feel warm, their lives and assets safe, and be impressed with services. Finally, citizens will trust and be more friendly with police."

Fifty Shades of Grey featuring Mr Bean - Rowan Atkinson blu ray:dvd trailer
It was one of the year's biggest movies... And, erm, well let's just say we can't really imagine Mr Bean making a cameo in the sequel. Especially after we saw this disturbing viral video!
For some of us, '50 Shades Of Grey' was the greatest piece of cinema in the entire history of film. For others, it was the cringiest movie to have ever been made. But there's one thing we can agree on...
Never, ever, EVER cast Rowan Atkinson to star in it. Ever.
One creator has mashed up the world of Mr Bean with the erotic movie, '50 Shades', and the finished result is terrifying.
We suggest you watch the clip now, so we can take the time to erase it from our minds.

(EDIT – 7/17/18 9:40AM) – I woke up this morning to find that Art All Night has been mired in tragedy. A shooting broke out around 3AM at an event that is known for peace, happiness, and the love for the arts. This isn't something that happened a thousand miles away. It happened in my backyard. I was there last night but left about two hours before the shooting occurred. I think all of my friends (who are a huge part of the Trenton community) are safe and for that I am incredibly happy – even with all of the sadness in my heart right now. I hope all of the victims of this tragedy are able to pull through. This is my second year doing a piece on the Pop Culture art of Art All Night and, for the most part, I am leaving this article intact. I completed it about 10:30PM last night and it posted originally at 8:00AM. Waking up to this news I thought of taking the article down until I read the words of bud Tony Goggles who said, "Art All Night is over, but share amazing things from AAN all day please." There's going to be negative, he said, so let's post more positive. His words make total sense. So here is my article. Art All Night is an amazing event. A phenomenal event. An event that brings friends, family, and the community together. I'm not going to let senseless gun violence downplay the work of individuals who spent days, weeks, and months preparing for the event. People pour their heart into their artwork. Their music. Into the festival itself. People volunteer their time to make sure this event is the best event Trenton has to offer. Please don't be offended in anything you may read here, this is just a small article trying to show the love. If you are reading this now please share this post. Please show the world how great Trenton and Art All Night really is. – Ryan McLelland
I can't believe an entire year has flown by and Art All Night has already arrived. Along with Punk Rock Flea Market and Pork Roll Fest, AAN is one of the biggest events thrown in the Trenton area. You may have to fight quite a mob of incredible hair colors and badass tattoos to see the fantastic artwork or your new favorite band, but it always so worth it.
Don't know what Art All Night? I'll crib from AAN's website http://www.artallnighttrenton.org about what the event is about:
Now moving into it's 12th year, Art All Night-Trenton is a 24-hour (literally) art and entertainment event in Trenton, NJ! An opportunity for four-year-old refrigerator artists, spirited novices and seasoned professionals to display one piece of art in a gallery like setting and for the public to enjoy that art in a dramatic renovated urban space. In 2017, over 1,500 artists of all ages, skill levels and mediums submitted work and more than 30,000 people attended! Enjoy live music on indoor and outdoor stages, interactive art, our International Film Festival, lectures about using art to revitalize cities, meaningful kids art activities, interesting food, and plenty of artful surprises!
That is…a lot of exclamation marks. Guess they are excited.
Me? There's one thing that gets me excited at Art All Night and that is all of the fantastic pop culture pieces. I mean I love me some art, but you throw in ANYTHING based on comic books, gaming, music, and movies it'll usually throw a big ol' smile on my face. This year? There is some fantastic pop culture pieces.
The easy winner of this year's Art All Night is this piece titled 'Batfiction' by Andreas Nicolaou. A coupling of Pulp Fiction and the Batman 66 television show, this piece speaks to me on so many levels. I'm a Batman fan and I count Pulp Fiction as one of the best movies ever made. This piece? Just perfect. Gorgeous. Fantastic. At $200 I thought it was a steal and was shocked that it hadn't sold when I snapped this photo. You can find more of Andreas artwork at http://nerdchamber.com.
Anyone who knows me knows that my favorite action movie of ALL time is John Wick, where Keanu Reeves plays a badass former assassin who decides to murder everyone who may be linked to the killing of his dog. If you've never seen it I can't recommend it higher. The second I saw that this piece, titled 'heres Johhny', was done by William Coward I was immediately brought back to his stunning Joker piece he did for AAN last year. Just like that Joker piece, this bad ass John Wick is not for sale – which is probably making someone damn sad. And, just like last year, I don't have an e-mail or website for Bill in case you want to commission him.
This 3-D Metroid piece is titled 'Samus Origin' and is truly a stunning piece of art. There are so many layers to Nazar Loun's piece that I really couldn't properly capture it all with my tiny little camera. It truly is a piece that has to be seen to be truly appreciated.
I did snap a couple different shots to try and show the different dimensions. Lots of different looks for everyone's favorite Nintendo bounty hunter including lots of Metroids, lots of Samus in her gear, and a Zero Suit Samus right in the middle. There's even a tiny Metroid II cartridge in the bottom left corner. Makes me want to bust out my 3DS and finish Metroid: Samus Returns. You can view more of Nazar's work at http://www.twocolors.weebly.com.
I'm not quite sure what else I can say about artist Vinita Mathur. She is one of my favorite artists and her piece from AAN last year still swims around in my dreams. This year Vinita decided to bring us the stunning warrior known as Lara Croft with her piece 'Tomb Raider.' Lara looks a little worse for wear in this painting but Vinita draws me right in with the eyes. My god this woman can paint. I highly recommend you head over to Vinita's website http://viniart.gallery and check out her mastery of the brush. Just don't buy my favorite piece – unless you are buying it for me. Love you, Vinita!
If Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with, then you really can't fuck with artist Dez FlyKickz. Her wonderful piece 'Sole of WU' features Wu's logo crafted with four pairs of men's Nike sneakers. The results? Well they speak for themselves, don't they? You can check out lots of Dez's work at https://www.instagram.com/flykickz but be forewarned – you may spend just as much time looking at Dez herself then you do at her artwork.
I can't find much on artist Hiawatha Cuffee but I do love me this Mobb Deep piece titled 'The Infamous." Prodigy would have been damn proud of this piece and looking at this made me throw on Shook Ones to listen to right now while I'm writing. You can contact Hiawatha at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This is a teapot. Let me repeat that. THIS IS A TEAPOT. A DEADPOOL TEAPOT. Usually I just throw a mug of water in the microwave for my Green Tea but I would always use this 'Deadpool Teapot' if I owned this badboy. This was crafter by Dan Kerr who is super foolish to sell this piece, unless he made two and still owns one at home. Dan can be contacted at email@example.com.
Couple trippy pieces this year and this Bart Simpson piece titled 'Acid Rain' really trips me the fuck out. Like I want some shrooms and want a double feature of The Simpsons Movie and Pink Floyd: The Wall. So thanks Chris Garcia for tripping me the hell out. You can find Chris at https://twitter.com/thatdanksinatra.
Then there's this Super Mario piece with Shy Guy's all smoked out and mushrooms and stars and shit. I don't know what the fuck is going on but what I do know is that this is one Super Mario game I'd love to play at 2AM. The piece is called 'Stardust' and was painted by 'Anonymous.' I bet it was my mom.
There was also this Mario/Pokemon mashup titled 'Pokemnon Battle' by Jeremy DiStephano. This is actually a pretty damn creative piece and honestly made me think that Nintendo could really make this game a reality. Here Mario throws out a Fire Yoshi Pokemon while Bowser is fighting with a King Boo. Seriously, I want to play this game.
This is a seriously spot on recreation of Marvel's Jungle Action #23 from artist Takira (I would add her last name here but my photo cut off so I'm kinda pissed). Simply titled 'Black Panther', Takira brings us her version of a classic John Byrne cover. You can find a few more of her pieces over at her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lomeinshrimp – if someone can get me her last name it would be vastly appreciated.
If you know your Fire Emblem (or your Super Smash Bros.), then you are very familiar with Marth. This is a 'Marth Action Figure' created by John Lewis from just paper, tape, and cloth. I love this to pieces and would have loved to hang this up on my wall.
RJ Ramrod KILLED it with this Doctor Who piece titled 'Last Son of Gallifrey.' I'm totally in love with it even though I am not a Doctor Who fan. Is it finally okay to say I'm not a Doctor Who fan? I like Daleks, though. Wish there was a just whole show of them exterminating.
Going to wrap this up with a little Jimi. While I'm pretty sure the Jimi Hendrix quote is "Good and evil lay side by side," artist Samantha Peralta called her Jimi piece 'Good and Bad Lay Side by Side.' This piece is absolutely wonderful, a bit trippy as well, and really captures Jimi beautifully. I honestly couldn't believe it was only $65 and, even more, that the piece hadn't sold yet. I may need to pick this up to hang in my mancave. It is a stunning work. You can contact Samantha at firstname.lastname@example.com.
That's my look at just some of the Pop Culture pieces of Art All Night Trenton 2018. There are THOUSANDS of amazing pieces to see so I suggest getting out, hearing some great music, meet some new friends, and find look at some wonderful pieces of art before the event is over. Until next year!!!!!!!!!!!! (How's that for some exclamation marks?)

Reasons Why Vehicle Owners Should Pay Visits Regularly to an Automobile Shop
A place where automobile are repaired by auto mechanics is referred to as an auto repair shops. When a car has been damaged, or maybe it has not been taken to a repair shop for some time for maintenance is referred to an automobile repair shop. It is important to appreciate the repair shops because they play important roles which help a lot in making of the automobiles. As time has gone through a lot of things have changed around the automobile shops. In the olden days the work in a shop was all manually done. One of the things that has been invented as time goes by is the technology. People use the technology in doing almost everything. Any kind of an automobile can be repaired in this place. Whether it is a truck or a small vehicle. There are services for all types of cars. It is necessary that anyone who has a vehicle they should regularly take their vehicles to the auto repair shops for regular maintenance shop for the following reasons.
Servicing of a car promotes road safeness. This is because when a car has been inspected by an auto technician, they make sure that all the car part are playing their roles in the right way. Most are the times that a car may have some fractures and after a period it can lead to one getting into an accident which returns turns to be very harmful and expensive. One gets to be sure of road safety after they have serviced their car.
Servicing is much better compared to the repair. Regular servicing of the car costs less than having to wait for damages. If a vehicle owner wants to save some money it is better to take the car for servicing. This helps to reduce expenses. And at the end what they save they can use it to buy another automobile after some time.
If one is having trouble with their vehicle repair shops are the best. There are fakes who pretend to know. Fakes only add up to more problems. As for the non-trained people they can even steal the car parts. When one wants to totally avoid this they should at least take their automobile to experts' shops because they will be sure that only perfection will be done to their vehicle because they are genuine experts.
Taking a truck or any other vehicle to an automobile shop it will help one in getting other extra services. This is because when the expert technicians in an automobile shop get to see another problem with the car they can tell the owner so that it can be repaired early in advance. The other good thing is that there are also other automobile shops that offer services such as those of cleaning once car after repair.
Options: 10 Mistakes that Most People Make

If the provincial government stops funding supervised drug-injection sites in Ottawa and the federal government doesn't step in, the city will have to find a way to pay for them itself, Mayor Jim Watson said Thursday.
This is a major turnaround for a politician who resisted these services in Ottawa for years.
"I think we have now four in Ottawa and they're serving a very vulnerable population and we'd have to find, if the province cuts the funding — we'd have to go and see if the federal government can help us, because of course they started the initial approval process, from Health Canada — but otherwise, we'd have to find the dollars within our own budget," Watson said, speaking with this newspaper's editorial board.
"We'll have to do what we can because the services are helping people and we need to ensure their continuity," he said. "I can't guarantee that we're going to be able to establish more than we have now, because Public Health has many priorities," but he'd look to preserve the four sites Ottawa already has.
This isn't what he wants to see happen, he said: The provincial government should fund health services. "It's another example of what I've fought all my political life, the downloading to municipalities," he said.
Supervised injection sites are places where people who take drugs with needles can go and use them with trained health workers on hand to step in if they overdose. Vancouver has had a legally sanctioned one since the early 2000s and for 15 years it was the only one in the country. But they spread quickly last year after fentanyl, a much more powerful synthetic drug in the same opioid family as heroin and oxycodone, started displacing other opioids in street drugs because it's easier to make, transport and conceal.
One lab analysis of a drug sold as heroin in Ottawa last year found it contained no heroin at all — only fentanyl and fillers. Carfentanil, an even stronger alternative, seems to be following.
Statistics kept by Public Health Ontario, a provincial agency, show that the number of fatal opioid overdoses rose from 571 in 2010 to 1,265 last year. The number of visits to hospital emergency rooms for overdoses tripled from about 2,800 to nearly 7,800.
In Ottawa, fatal overdoses rose from 22 to 64 in the same period. Hospital visits climbed from 128 to 370.
Reversing overdoses can often be done easily with an opioid antidote called naloxone if somebody recognizes what's happening and has some handy. But for a long time, Watson said he didn't think supervised injection sites were a good use of money. He'd rather spend it on treating people for addictions than on preventing overdoses, he'd say.
Last year, though, Watson acquiesced when Ottawa's health unit recommended that injection sites be permitted and even proposed opening one of its own. Then-premier Kathleen Wynne and health minister Eric Hoskins began approving them and funding them once the applications started coming in. Now Ottawa has two supervised injection sites in community health centres in Sandy Hill and west Centretown, one at the Shepherds of Good Hope shelter on King Edward Avenue, and the one run by the Ottawa public-health unit also in Lowertown.
The price of a supervised injection site can vary depending on how many people it serves, how it's staffed and how many hours a week it's open, but $1 million a year is a decent ballpark figure. That's the amount of annual provincial funding for the one in the Somerset West Community Health Centre; the health unit's small site, shoehorned into an office on Clarence Street, costs about $900,000 a year.
But the provincial government, now under the Progressive Conservatives, has frozen approvals for new sites and put existing ones on the bubble. Premier Doug Ford has said he personally opposes them but wants to get expert advice before he makes a final decision. Health Minister Christine Elliott took the summer to pull together evidence for him but at the end of September said she wasn't ready to deliver a recommendation.
There's virtually no rigorous scientific work showing injection sites are harmful. One recent paper got a lot of attention for pooling results of other studies and concluding that it's not clear they do any good; the editors of the International Journal of Drug Policy retracted it after a closer look concluded that the paper combined those other studies in a methodologically flawed way.
But anyway, Elliott asked the federal government for a six-month extension on a policy that lets the province approve supervised injection sites without submitting each one to Health Canada, which the feds immediately granted. Now everyone waits.
The city was practically shamed into this, mind you, by activists who set up a rogue injection site in a tent in a scrubby Lowertown park a year ago, protesting all the authorities' slow movement while people died. Watson hasn't changed his mind about them.
"I was not happy with this pop-up site in the community park. That was not helpful," he said Thursday.
Well, it forced the issue onto the public agenda, demonstrated how badly these sites are needed and helped the mayor find his way to the right side of this thing. Call it a win.

Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving *
and make good your vows to the Most High.
From St. Augustine's Exposition on the Book of Psalms (Psalm 50)
For now some one or other, because God had said to him, "Immolate to God the sacrifice of praise," and had enjoined in a manner this tribute, did meditate to himself and said, I will rise daily, I will proceed to Church, I will say one hymn at matins, another at vespers, a third or fourth in my house, daily I do sacrifice the sacrifice of praise, and immolate to my God. Well thou doest indeed, if thou doest this: but take heed, lest now thou be careless, because now thou doest this: and perchance thy tongue bless God, and thy life curse God. O my people, saith to thee the God of gods, the Lord that spake, "calling the earth from the rising of the sun unto the setting," though yet thou art placed amid the tares, "Immolate the sacrifice of praise to thy God, and render to Him thy prayers:" but take heed lest thou live ill, and chant well.
Augustine warns of a great danger in the Christian faith–that we do a splendid job of worshiping Jesus in church and lousy job of being his followers in the world. It's an occupational risk, and it's a challenge the church has faced from its inception. Jesus had plenty to say in his time about religious people whose lives did not show forth what they professed with their lips.
There are other dangers lurking nearby. What if we are good at backing the correct causes, showing up at the right do-gooder events, or making pubic gifts to the best charities, but our lives apart from this do not bear up the same virtue? In other words, it's not just a failure to connect worship and charity that can undo us. We are at risk whenever our lives are not integrated, when we followers of Jesus have disconnected worship from prayer from mission from evangelism from charity from advocacy. It's all meant to hang together.
Augustine is most certainly not attacking excellent worship, or suggesting that we shouldn't chant well. Rather, he's suggesting that we should offer our best to God with our whole lives, whether we're in church, at work, at home, or in the streets.

Martin's Double-Double Paces Logan Men
November 14, 2014
Logan Media Services
VINCENNES, IND. - Sophomore post player Jordan Martin knocked down 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds Friday to lead the John A. Logan College men's basketball team past Kankakee, 74-64, in opening-round tournament play at Vincennes.
Leading scorer for the Volunteers (5-1) was Martavian Payne with 14 points. Devontavius Payne contributed 12 and Connor Wheeler added 11. Lamont Walker chipped in eight, including a pair of 3-pointers. Tamas Bruce flipped in seven. Ranell Crossland netted five.
"I was proud of the fact that we came out and played hard against a pretty good team," said Logan head coach Kyle Smithpeters. "When you face a good team, you have to battle against whatever is thrown at you. I thought we did an especially good job on the glass tonight and valued the basketball. Anytime you get a win on the road, it's a good night."
The Vols led 43-29 at the half. Logan returns to the hardwood at 4 p.m. today against St. Clair County, Mich., a 96-42 loser to Vincennes Friday.

Dodgers complete first ever season sweep of Mets with one-hitter
NEW YORK (AP) — The Dodgers had just crushed the Mets like refuse in a trash compactor when Justin Turner heard a teammate marveling in the clubhouse food room.
"How many wins is that?" the unidentified player said.
"It doesn't really matter," Turner remembered as the group response. "We've got to get ready to play on Tuesday."
Turner's caught stealing turned into a two-out stolen base when a video review determined he reached around Amed Rosario to evade the rookie shortstop's tag. That sparked a three-run first inning in an 8-0 rout Sunday night that completed the Dodgers' first season sweep of New York.
"We show up and regardless of the circumstance, the opponent, location, we expect to win," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
Hyun-Jin Ryu (4-6), Tony Cingrani and Kenley Jansen combined on a one-hitter and the Dodgers' major league-high 12th shutout. New York's only baserunners were on Travis d'Arnaud's third-inning single and Brandon Nimmo's ninth-inning walk.
Los Angeles outscored the Mets 57-15 over seven games this year and outhomered them 25-11.
"We were overmatched. They outplayed us in every facet of the game," Mets manager Terry Collins said.
Los Angeles has won four straight, 13 of 14 and is 24-3 since July 4, losing three games to Atlanta. The Dodgers are 79-32, on pace for 115 wins, and they are just the fourth big league team to win 43 or more over a 50-game stretch — the first since the 1912 New York Giants, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The others were the 1906 Chicago Cubs and 1884 St. Louis Maroons of the Union Association.
Rookie Cody Bellinger hit his 32nd homer, a 447-foot, two-run drive in the eighth. Exactly half his homers have come from the seventh inning on.
"Sick," was his one-word response.

Turner, who like Bellinger homered for the second straight day, raised his NL-leading batting average to .349. He is hitting .346 (9 for 26) with four homers and seven RBI this year against the Mets, who let him go after the 2013 season.
"Who knows? If I was still with the Mets, maybe I'd be completely out of baseball now," Turner said.
Daniel Murphy, who left New York for Washington after the 2015 season, also has hit his former team hard.
"We text every night and give each other secrets on how to do damage against the Mets," Turner deadpanned, before saying he was joking.
Ryu extended his scoreless streak to 15 innings, striking out eight over seven innings as Los Angeles opened a season-high, 15½-game NL West lead and moved 47 games over .500 for the first time since 1962.
Umpire Will Little called Turner out on the first-inning steal of second. Los Angeles credited video coordinator John Pratt for spotting the missed tag, leading to the overturned call.
"Probably the turning point of the game," Roberts said.
Rosario's translator, Edwin Gonzalez, said "not tonight" when a reporter asked to speak with the player.
Bellinger walked, the Dodgers pulled off a double steal and Logan Forsythe grounded the next pitch up the middle for a two-run single. Runners are 9 for 9 on steal attempts on Steven Matz this year and 32 for 38 in his big league career.
Austin Barnes followed with an RBI double, and Turner made it 5-0 in the third with a two-run, opposite-field drive to right-center off Matz (2-5). Bellinger homered against Hansel Robles.
New York has lost nine straight to the Dodgers and seven of eight overall. At 49-60, the Mets are 11 games under .500 for the first time since July 2014.
Matz was removed after 102 pitches and 5⅓ innings, allowing five runs and six hits. He is 0-4 with an 11.03 ERA in his last six starts.
"It's shocking," Collins said.
RHP Yu Darvish played catch left-handed, two days after pitching seven shutout innings to win his Dodgers' debut. "He's got a three-pitch mix, and he can really do some things with the baseball left-handed," Roberts said.
Dodgers OF Kike Hernandez wore the Yoenis Cespedes No. 52 chain, given to fans as a promotion Saturday. Hernandez said he got it from family who attended the game.
Dodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw, who hasn't pitched since injuring his back on July 23, will rejoin the Dodgers on Monday night in Phoenix. … C Yasmani Grandal was out of the starting lineup, a day after leaving in the ninth inning due to a sore back. "I expect him to be ready to start on Tuesday," Roberts said. … Barnes was hit on the knuckles of his bare hand by Jose Reyes' second-inning foul tip. X-rays after the game were negative. … LHP Alex Wood (13-1) threw a bullpen session and adjusted his mechanics, three days after feeling fatigue after beating Atlanta. He is to start Wednesday. … 1B Adrian Gonzalez, who hasn't played for the Dodgers since June 11 because of lumbar disk herniation, went 2 for 5 with two RBI in the first two games of a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Mets: RF-1B Jay Bruce missed his second straight games with a sore neck. … Neil Walker, 3 for 27 since returning from a partially torn left hamstring on July 28, fouled out when he pinch hit in the sixth. … RHP Matt Harvey (right shoulder stress injury) pitched a bullpen session and is to throw batting practice Tuesday. … RHP Robert Gsellman, on the DL since late June with a strained left hamstring, allowed six runs — three earned — and seven hits in 2⅔ innings for Double-A Binghamton at Harrisburg.
Dodgers: RHP Kenta Maeda (10-4) starts Tuesday's series opener at Arizona.
Mets: RHP Chris Flexen (0-1) pitches Tuesday against visiting Texas in his third big league start.

Business Card for: Dan Springer
Skulluxe matches business card: I always wanted to have a business card that served a dual purpose or was something people would keep around. When I found out that 2 colour matches were extremely affordable I decided to give it a try. A built in advantage is that part of my business is designing band merch and posters so these are perfect for leaving on the bar at a show in case there are other bands in attendance. Another bonus is that some of the music bars need matches and ask me for boxes which I exchange for a drink or two… but they basically are handing my business card to everyone who asks for matches. Plus, people seem to get a kick out of them. Next pack will be a little simpler.

Felicity Nelson goes STRAIGHT on Class FM
She's regarded as one of Ghana's most popular female political analysts on radio; Class FM 's The Executive Breakfast Show.
The non-bias Miss, Felicity Naana Nelson is set to be the face of Midday radio with her show, STRAIGHT TALK, every Thursday, 2-3pm on Accra based radio station, Class 91.3 FM.
As a Staunch Feminist, Ms. Felicity believes women in the media shouldn't be relegated to only hosting lifestyle and fashion curated shows.
Hence, as the host of what is socially constructed as a man's job, she intends to bridge the gender gap and be the voice of the people by probing and holding accountable the government and its mutual associates.
Ms. Felicity studied Politics and Economics from the prestigious London Metropolitan University and will surely bring to light her experience and knowledge to analyse and tackle the seeming dysfunctional system and policies and help find alternative solutions to the socio-economic issues plaguing the average Ghanaian.
Her thorough and clinical approach exudes propelling energy which lies in improving spaces of the average Ghanaian. She's got a formidable and an enviable knack for excellence in social issues especially when it comes to female representation in the country. This triggers her drive for Women and gender equality issues which will definitely be given a boost and her audience can count on her to defend and help erase the erroneous impressions created about marginalised women and the ordinary Ghanaian while fixing regressive development.
Ms. Nelson will bring to the table the audacity and the courage to speak to power but, more importantly, the sensitivity and the compassion the carry the numerous challenges affecting the electorate in Ghana.
Ms. Felicity believes that the government must be able to structure and prioritise in order to focus on meeting the fundamental needs of the electorate.
For her fans, it will be the depth and passion-driven conversation that Felicity Nelson excites in her listeners.
Straight Talk unmistakably is predicted to be the nation's number one current affairs talk show and for the gender activist and feminist, her strength lies in the interests of the electorate and the ordinary Ghanaian.
Straight Talk is coming at a time when the big question in the heart of all peace and development loving Ghanaians is who defends the Ghanaian in their quest for a life of dignity, development and progress.
The show is slated to air on Thursday, the 16th of May this year on Class 91.3 FM.

|Taurine supplementation decreases oxidative stress in skeletal muscle after eccentric exercise.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21264889 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Infrequent exercise, typically involving eccentric actions, has been shown to cause oxidative stress and to damage muscle tissue. High taurine levels are present in skeletal muscle and may play a role in cellular defences against free radical-mediated damage. This study investigates the effects of taurine supplementation on oxidative stress biomarkers after eccentric exercise (EE). Twenty-four male rats were divided into the following groups (n = 6): control; EE; EE plus taurine (EE + Taurine); EE plus saline (EE + Saline). Taurine was administered as a 1-ml 300 mg kg(-1) per body weight (BW) day(-1) solution in water by gavage, for 15 consecutive days. Starting on the 14th day of supplementation, the animals were submitted to one 90-min downhill run session and constant velocity of 1·0 km h(-1) . Forty-eight hours after the exercise session, the animals were killed and the quadriceps muscles were surgically removed. Production of superoxide anion, creatine kinase (CK) levels, lipoperoxidation, carbonylation, total thiol content and antioxidant enzyme were analysed. Taurine supplementation was found to decrease superoxide radical production, CK, lipoperoxidation and carbonylation levels and increased total thiol content in skeletal muscle, but it did not affect antioxidant enzyme activity after EE. The present study suggests that taurine affects skeletal muscle contraction by decreasing oxidative stress, in association with decreased superoxide radical production.

I started this blog as a way to keep tracking of everything I found in marketing / advertising /online and to share it with like minded people.
Rather than just read and surf the web, I wanted to join the conversation, participate and write my own thoughts. I've been blogging for about 5 years now (since 2004).
Who am I?
My name is Matthew Ho. I work at a company called NextDigital as a Campaign Producer in Sydney, Australia. Currently, I work in digital media & marketing, particularly:
- Email & SMS marketing
- Online promotions
- Microsites.
NextDigital is Australia′s largest full service digital marketing & services company with approximately 220 employees. Please note that the views presented on this blog are my own, and not my company's. I may discuss things I have come across as a part of my work, interesting projects we may have worked on, but these opinions and thoughts are entirely my own intellectual property.
I joined NextDigital in 2008 and have been their since. Before that I worked at an large accounting firm. After several years, I decided to take a career break and ultimately made a career change into digital media. I believed that this area was growing, it interested me and there were opportunities.
My particular areas of interests are: digital media, email marketing, search engine marketing & optimisation, advertising, social media, websites, blogs, wikis, video apps, opensource, brand management, and anything to do with the internet. I do read a lot of various blogs, email newsletters, newspaper articles, books, and regularly attend marketing/advertising/mobile events on these aforementioned topics.
In my spare time, I'm often playing basketball, attending hip hop concerts, hanging out with friends, or helping out in my local church.
The meaning behind Inspired Worlds
People ask me why I chose the name "Inspiredworlds". The idea is that each of us have our own inspirations. By letting you into my world of online, creativity, digital media, and so on, I hope to inspire other people to share their thoughts and knowledge. I believe each of us have our own inspired worlds and by revealing a bit of mine, I hope to see yours as well 🙂
Peace Out,

Some of the most important factors in obtaining High Availability are redundancy, fault tolerance and resiliency. While almost all high-end disk subsystems provide these capabilities, the same can not be said for all mid-tier disk arrays.
A typical mid-tier array consists of a couple of Storage Controllers or Storage Processors which are connected to one or more Disk Enclosures thru Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL). Inside each Disk Enclosure is a backplane which the disks are connecting to. In addition, each Disk Enclosure is connected to Dual independent FC-AL loops and contains a Port Bypass Circuit (PBC). This type of Disk Enclosure is called a JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks).
Because innovation doesn't only allow us to solve new problems but also allows us to solve old problems, a new technology surfaced around 2001 in the form of embedded FC switches (also called Switch on a Chip) in the Disk Enclosures that address the above issues. Such type of an Enclosure is called an SBOD (Switched Bunch of Disks). The embedded switches allow for each drive to have an individual FC-AL connection and be the only element in the loop thus providing faster arbitration and lower latency. In addition, the embedded switches provide the ability to isolate drive chatter without endagering the Loop. Performance and scalability are also direct beneficiaries of this technology. An SBOD, can deliver up to 50% more performance over JBOD mostly due to the fact that the bandwidth is not shared as well as due to the crossbar architecture deployed inside the embedded switches. Scalability has also improved outside of the Disk Enclosure by being able to increase the number of drives and Disk Enclosures that are connected to the FC-AL loop(s) on the Storage Controller.
Network Appliance was one of the first vendors to recognize the benefits of such technology and have been providing our customers with increased storage resiliency across all of our product line for almost 3 years now.

Life happens in real time. Sometimes we read about it. More rarely, we are there. And after, we wish that we could have practiced a little bit before being thrown into it.
Checking Color Without a Meter
During the first minute of the Faces DCP, the screen shows a black background with a blue bar going across the middle. After a while the black background goes grey on one side. You'll notice when you look at the two ends of the blue bar now that they look different – one more solid blue, one softer. When the background goes solid black, the bar looks solid blue from end to end again.
When we walk into the auditorium to do our task attempt to judge whether the picture quality in an auditorium is correct, we have to be aware that the Human Visual System can be tricked. Perhaps that is the wrong way to say it. In fact, the Human Visual System uses tricks to get around the limitations that it has.
One example is the number of color sensors we have in the eye. For many reasons, we have 100 million sensors squeezed onto the inside of each eyeball. But only about 6 million are sensitive to color. On average, 4 million are sensitive to red light, 2 million to green light, and only a few hundred thousand are sensitive to blue light.
The major idea behind the two Faces Test DCPs is that the Human Visual System and the Human Hearing System work magic. To test the picture in your auditoriums, we have to somehow get around that magic.
One part of the magic is that people's eyes adjust to different light levels. We have the ability to see in dark moonlight and in bright sunlight. We can see great detail in our center vision, and we can see minute motion in our side vision.
The eyes and the brain work together to give the best image possible in different circumstances. We call the combination "The Human Visual System."
We hear sound in a similar way. In a quiet room we can here a fan or even a mosquito that is 3 meters (10 feet) away. In a loud kitchen, we can hear voices that are softer than the loud pots and pans. (Well, sometimes.)
We certainly can't hear that mosquito among the kitchen noises. And we can't see a dark cat go by in the shadows if there are headlights making the the scene too bright.
Usually this magic is a great thing. It is an automatic process that protects the eyes, yet lets us see through an incredible range of light in the right circumstances.
But it also means that when we see leaves of green and fields of rice waving in the wind, we presume that the clouds are white and the sky is blue …but they might really be grayish white and a light shade of blue.
This especially happens in a movie theater. The sun or reflections that we see outside are hundreds, even thousands of times brighter than a projector can display on the screen. Yet, we believe it is bright white. And that is what matters to the audience.
But we have to check that the projection system is giving all that can be expected, not wimping out or giving too much of one color or not enough of another.
Sound is the same way. It is a rare person who can hear a tone and accurately say with certainty, "That is the note 'E' below middle 'C' on the piano for example, or how soft it is or how loud. All we can say is that it is soft or loud in comparison to something else.
Our purpose is to test the system, to see if it has the right amount of light (and sound). How do we get around this amazing capability of the Human Visual and Hearing Systems?
One thing that people can do very well is determine if faces look right. So, your editor went to a photo sharing site and dropped a bunch of faces on top of each other and made a movie for the projector (called a DCP – a Digital Cinema Package). We think it turned out to be a very interesting way for you to judge the quality the projected pictures on your screen.
And, like the other DCPs, there are also clean and distorted and muted tones – high and low notes – to judge the quality of your sound. Oh~! and let's not forget the subtitles.
Watch it in your auditoriums several times. Pretty soon you will get a feeling that some face is too green or the expected white isn't actually white. But, you won't be certain. Watch and listen more. Pretty soon you will be certain.
Have someone download the DCP and install it on some projection systems. The DCP is at: Faces1 – 2K The passcode is QA_b4_QC
Here is a quicktime version of the Faces1 DCP – Have fun, and tell us what you think. With your help we can make a system that helps you tell the tech what is wrong and eliminates the complaints of the audience member.

New Delhi: The Railways has conducted a special drive to check the malpractices of touting, ticketless travel and misuse of facilities during which 307 touts and 59,115 unauthorised vendors were prosecuted, the Lok Sabha was informed on Wednesday.
Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu said a special drive was launched by all zonal railways from 1 April to 30 June to conduct checks in mass contact areas.
The drive was aimed at curbing malpractices of touting activities, ticketless passengers and misuse of facilities of e-ticketing, among others.
"During the drive, 307 touts, 59,115 unauthorised vendors and seven illegal ticketing agencies have been prosecuted. An amount of Rs 1.18 crore was recovered during the special drive," he said during Question Hour.
Prabhu said some steps have been taken to make the public aware of streamlining of reservation system and making it more transparent.
He said the ministry was conducting joint as well as independent checks by commercial, vigilance and security departments to curb the activities of touts and malpractices by the railway staff in connivance with touts.
The minister said these checks were intensified during peak rush and festival periods. Touts and unauthorised vendors were apprehended and prosecuted under sections 143 and 144 of the Railways Act, 1989. Illegal users of online e-ticketing are prosecuted under provision of section 143 of Railways Act 1989.
"Simultaneous checks were conducted at reservation offices and on the trains to detect the cases of transferred reserved tickets i.e. persons found travelling fraudulently against accommodation actually reserved in the name of another passenger," he said.

Cedar Rapids, "Nashville" and "Manhattan"
We've got our first-ever profile of Cedar Rapids-Waterloo-Iowa City-Dubuque, also known as DMA No. 88, in the new issue today.
My lede to the article played off the film "Cedar Rapids", the Sundance hit that stars The Office cast member Ed Helms.
Initially I'd written:
Sundance Film Festival sleeper hit 'Cedar Rapids' may not equal the buzz of Woody Allen's 'Manhattan' or Robert Altman's 'Kansas City', but the movie has helped put Iowa's second-largest city on the map.
Our managing editor hit me back, wondering if I meant to cite Robert Altman's "Nashville" instead of "Kansas City." I was in fact thinking of KC, but had him switch it to the better known "Nashville." Interesting that Altman would direct two films named for cities. (Film buffs…or IMDB readers….may know that he also directed a TV film known as "Nightmare in Chicago".)
That got me thinking of films named after American cities. (To be sure, Manhattan is technically the name of a borough, not a city.). There is "Philadelphia", and the film adaptation of "Chicago."
What's perhaps more interesting are the cities that don't have a film named for them. Boston, which does have a band by that name. Dallas, which of course has a TV show. Los Angeles, which is cited in a bunch of film titles ("LA Story," "LA Confidential"), but does not have a feature-length film named for it.
A little north of Dallas, there is Paris, Texas–also a 1984 film from Win Wenders. But that's not exactly a big city.
Any other city-named films I'm overlooking, where the name of the city and the name of the film are one and the same?
Oh, and speaking of DMA No. 88, KCRG is a monster, and KWWL puts out some strong product too.

Well, it turns out that empathy across group boundaries is a complicated matter. Although part of the glue holding society together is a desire to reduce the suffering of others, and though we're quick to empathize with and help members of our own groups, this dynamic can go haywire when it must extend to members of different groups (Cikara, Bruneau, & Saxe, 2011).
When we witness a member of our own ethnic group suffering (like Katniss, if you're European-American), our brain activates the same experience for ourselves, leading us to feel the same pain as she does.
But when we witness a member of a different ethnic group suffering (like Rue, if you're not African American), this response short-circuits – our brains do not activate a shared experience. This is especially true of people high in implicit racism (that is, people who harbor biases toward other groups, even if they won't admit that bias to themselves or others).
Instead of empathy, when competition abounds (and it is undeniably encouraged in The Hunger Games) we may respond to the suffering of people from different groups with Schadenfreude, taking pleasure in their pain. That is, reward regions of the brain light up when viewing someone from another, competing group receive a painful electric shock.
So although she was clearly Katniss's ally in the book, when Rue's race was made salient to viewers (by actually seeing her onscreen) in a savagely competitive context, it's possible that many viewers felt they could no longer relate to Rue or empathize with her suffering. Feeling robbed of an emotional relationship with a beloved character (yes, we do build one-sided "parasocial" relationships with characters), and perhaps having to face a sick feeling of relief or joy at her death, it appears some viewers coped with these aversive feelings in a very public way: by posting racist things – some subtle, some not – on the Internet.
This topic has inspired an intense public dialogue about modern expressions of racism, and multitudes of fascinating essays and blog posts – here's a good one.
So what should we take away from this? Rather than writing it off as "Well, some people are just racist," or adopting a "colorblind" stance that ignores group differences and strips Rue and Thresh of their cultural identity, it's essential that we celebrate group differences and carefully examine our own assumptions and biases. This latter task can be extremely difficult. Best of all, by cultivating friendships with members of different groups (according to the work of Elizabeth Page-Gould), we can build bridges between our own identity and that of the other group, and in turn become more comfortable when interacting with people of ethnicities different than our own.
Were you among those who had imagined Rue to be European-American? Why do you think that was? How did you react when you saw her in the movie?

"Most people would rather live within their means rather than expand their means." – Robert Kiyosaki, Retire Young, Retire Rich
Most of us would rather be rich than poor. Rich may not mean monetarily rich – it may mean experiences, family, friends – but generally wealth enables the accomplishment of many other goals. How can you do it? You can save. You can invest wisely. You can reduce debt or decrease expenditures. The hardest way to get rich, but the only way that really works, is to expand your means. You have to earn more than you spend, consistently and constantly. You have to expand your means.
I get frustrated reading about achieving wealth by cutting out lattes. Sure, you can be better off if you don't waste money on Wii's and lattes. You'll achieve your goals sooner if you invest in index funds instead of speculating on stocks. You'll be richer, sooner, if you choose a good career that allows for upward mobility. You'll win out – in today's America – if you choose a public-sector job that guarantees benefits. Sad, but true.
But one thing that most people will never try is to increase their "means" past their primary income. It's hard. I struggle to do it. If I asked you to generate, tomorrow, an extra $10 cash in hand, could you do it? Even if you make six figures a year, could you figure out a way to generate $10 above your normal daily haul? It would be difficult for most of us. Most of us would rather watch Lost than attempt it.
Expanding your means will make you wealthier than saving money. If you save $5, you've saved it once and you're done. If you come up with a new business model that makes you an extra $5 today, and might – might! – make you an extra $5 tomorrow you've created a new income stream. Making a tiny bit more will change your life far more than saving a bit.
Kiyosaki's phrase is telling. Most people would rather live within their means… and they'll pay for it in the long run. Don't kid yourself: it's tough to live within your means. With the onslaught of advertising and "keeping up with the Joneses" it's hard to resist the Wii's and the Kindles and the latest fashions and the gourmet foods. If you can, kudos to you. I think I have so far, but it's a constant struggle. But it's akin to health: if you can avoid heroin, you're in better shape than a junkie. It doesn't mean you'll live to 100. To do that you have to excel – you have to beat the norms, the average and the mean. Don't think that skipping the morning latte is enough. You have to make that extra effort to create more wealth. Sitting back and "not buying" is not enough. You have to go out, and make more. You to create wealth, not just avoid spending.

My life right now consists of working, school, baby shopping, sleep….repeat. When I have a free moment I can be found on the couch asleep or trying to be.
This week I wrench was thrown into the works. I woke up (literally woke up) with tendonitis in my right foot. Me being me thought it wasn't that bad and I had probably slept funny or something. So I limed around all week. then I had my first real leg cramp on Thursday night. Come Friday AM I couldn't put weight on my foot at all. Again me being me I tried to figure out how to get from the bedroom to the front room hoping and leaning on things (my husband asked why I didn't crawl? Because that would be logical!). Well I called the hubby home from work to take me to the dr. That is notable as I never do that. He freaked out and thought I had a blood clot even though I told him it was my foot. So when he got hoe very quickly he got home his adrenalin was through the roof. I was really ok and by then I had iced it and stretched so I was able to put some weight on it. So basically the dr has nothing that she can do for it, she said to got to physical therapy and all I can think is I don't have time for that! Well that was Friday AM and today I woke up and my foot is like nothing happened! WHAT??? crazy!
As long as nothing is wrong in my belly i can handle the rashes, sore feet, exhaustion and anything else that doesn't effect the baby. We did find out that we have to have another ultrasound because the images of the heart were not clear?? That's fine i want to see him again!
On the baby shopping front we got our crib, dresser and mattress courtesy of my father last week. This really takes a load of my shoulders. We have decided on the bedding from pottery barn kids. We didn't buy it yet though I am going to try and wait for a big sale since it is on the expensive end. This will kind of set the theme of the room. I have decided on an alphabet theme with rich primary colors. I really want a large navy blue rug (but rugs are also very expensive). Honestly I am trying to avoid a one theme because I know our family's and they will forever buy themed things for the rest of his life i.e. monkey's or Winnie the pooh. This is a great relief~ I think its funny we are spending so much time on a room that he wont use until this time next year, if we are lucky.
Registries… I have three… one at target, babies r us and buy buy baby. I would like to condense to two but I am not sure which to choose. I feel as though I am also breaking rules and registering for all kinds toys and things and stuff. Does anyone have advice on registries? I want a bigish one but i don't want to overwhelm people or deter them from getting things we want. Oddly enough i am not even sure how many people will buy from the registry.
On to baby showers. My good friend wants to throw it for us which is amazing! and my mom want to have a separate one for some of her friends. So that's two and my hubby thinks that's dumb. He thinks there should be one, i don't mind however many we have. If friends and family all want to get together big or small it makes me very happy to know they want to be part of this journey. I don't know how to relate to hubby that multiple showers can be normal. I love baby showers! however my own is feeling nuts. Not to mention i am so exhausted so planning is kinds limited. We set dates so that exciting! With all the holidays and bday's and our anniversary its going to be a very busy season.
Oh things about me…
I am at my pre-pregnancy weight now. which makes me happy, really unexpected because i have been eat not so good lately. All my old stretch marks are showing up and it looks like some are getting bigger and it looks there might be three new ones. That's at least according to hubby. I know its inevitable but grrrr not pretty.
I can only feel him flutter which worries hubby but i am ok with the occasional flutter as i know soon it will be a rib getting kicked. We bought a heart beat monitor thingy (against my advice) we tried it out last night and had no luck. We could barely find my heart beat let alone his. We found hubby's right away!
Well that's all my random rants for right now, i am feeling more attached to him this week and everything is moving along nicely!
Mrs. W.
