rings for finishing; a carabiner; Nymo thread or a line; a needle; scissors; pliers
You can also use PRECIOSA Thorn™ beads in the same color as the PRECIOSA Pellet™ for additional decorations.
Step 1:
Thread the needle. String 10x R10, 1x Pl and 10x R10.
Thread the needle through the Pl (fig. no. 1). A loop of R10 will be created, on which you will attach the fastening. Do not forget to tighten the thread when working.

Step 2:
String 3x P and once again thread the needle through the Pl in the same direction from the loop to the rocailles (fig. no. 2).
fig. 2
Step 3:
String 3x P again and thread the needle through the Pl so that a flower is created (fig. no. 3).

Step 4:
Thread the needle through the following 10x R10, tie the ends and continue with the work. String 1x Pl, 3x P and thread the needle back through the Pl (fig. no. 4).
fig. 4
Step 5:
String 3x P and thread the needle through the Pl. You have created another flower. String 10x R10 (fig. no. 5).
fig. 5
Step 6:
String 1x Pl and 3x P again and thread the needle back through Pl (figure 6). Repeat the procedure according to figures 5 and 6 until you have the required length of the bracelet.
fig. 6
Step 7:
After achieving the required length of the bracelet, string 10x R10 and thread the needle back through the Pl. This will create a loop for the fastening. Sew the thread in firmly and tie several knots. Cut off the thread (fig. no. 7).
fig. 7
use the flat nose pliers to attach the fastening – the ring and the carabiner. You can use Th beads to additionally decorate the end of the bracelet with the rings (fig. no. 8).

This lovely, hearty frittata is packed with radish-y goodness. The daikon radishes are roasted to tender perfection in thyme and butter and them combined with radish top pesto, Parmesan cheese, and eggs to create a really light and delicious frittata. Two slices of this were perfect for me for a light dinner warm, and I ate two more slices for lunch the next day cold. Basically, this was a two-for-one, extremely inexpensive, quick, and easy meal that makes use of every single part of the radish. Dishes like this make me extra-happy to be a member of Geagua Family Farms CSA, since I never in a million years would have decided to buy a daikon radish at the grocery store and now I can't get enough of them – pickled, roasted, I'll take it all!
As noted below, the roasted daikon radishes are absolutely gorgeous on their own. I snacked on them for while before I got down to making the frittata itself. They would make an excellent side dish with something like chicken thighs.
Butter and Thyme Roasted Radish Frittata
2 medium daikon radishes, peeled and cut into 1/2″ cubes
1 tbs. butter, melted
1 tbs. fresh thyme leaves
1 tbs. radish top pesto
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 eggs
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/3 cup Parmesan, cheese, shredded
1/2 tbs. unsalted butter
Preheat oven to 350º.
Toss radishes with butter, thyme, salt and pepper on a tinfoil-lined baking sheet. Roast in oven, tossing pan once or twice, for 25-30 minutes or until radishes are tender.
[Note: These radishes on their own make a delicious dish – they are sweet and tender with a delicious herbaceous flavor from the thyme.]
Let cool. Cut into smaller pieces (I quartered most of the pieces of radish).
Preheat broiler.
Whisk together pesto, eggs, baking soda, and cheese
In a 10″ cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add roasted radishes. Stirring frequently, cook 4-5 minutes until heated through. Spread into an even layer on the pan.
Pour pesto-egg mixture over the radishes. Cook until bottom is set.
Transfer to the broiler and broil 4-5 minutes until the top of the frittata is set and lightly golden brown.
Cut into wedges and serve immediately.

I have a logitech x-540 speaker system and i recently replaced my hard drive, my sound card is a IDT HD Audio, but i have been experiencing problems when getting it to work with my new hard drive. I plug the jacks into my laptop and when the IDT audio screen comes up i set all the jacks to dealing with the speakers but i still wont get surround sound audio. Only the front two speakers will work. Even in the set up screen on the IDT window only shows two speakers. My system is set to 5.1 audio in the configuration but for whatever reason it just will not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When you got the machine, did you get a driver disk with it. Since you swapped out the hdd, you need to reinstall the drivers. It sounds like you're missing the audio drivers for your idt.
It works now, I had the driver installed but it wasnt working for a while after. But its fine now thank you for the response.
OK, good luck.

Welcome to my corner of the internet.
The main point of this blog is to discuss the number of different things that involve me being attached to my keyboard. The main one is gaming and online community development. I've been playing Guild Wars since 2005 and moved on to Guild Wars 2. Amongst all that I've worked for a variety of fansites and have been leading a social PvX guild since 2006. Past projects have included DJing on Split Infinity Radio where I hosted a show on Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 and another on dance music, and I used to be a regular co-host on the podcast Relics of Orr. I'm now taking things a little easier, with my guild Mystic Spiral [MYST] taking up more of my time and I've been writing about my experiences as a guild leader over on Dragon Season. Most of my blog posts revolve around this area of my life, including the odd head splitting theorycrafting session and rant about how my beloved Ranger has been (sort of) ruined.
I'm a C++ computer programmer by trade with a background in robotics, and occasionally my posts drift onto my other project – the development of a new website with custom tools for my guild, which I'm learning php and CSS for.

What could a whole year of your internet history reveal? The UK wants to find out – and without needing a warrant
Does your internet history from the last twelve months have anything that you wouldn't want the public, the government, or even a blackmailing hacker to know about? For most people in the world, our Internet activity can provide enough information to paint a clear picture. Browsing and search history can easily reveal your sexual preferences, financial state, travel plans, beliefs, and more. There are circumstances, such as criminal investigations, where this data can be useful to help the greater good; however, the potential abuse of this incredible power means that warrants must be granted before that happens. It is this basic safeguard against the government that is coming to a head in UK's House of Lords.
The UK is coming after your Internet History with the Investigatory Powers Bill
The Investigatory Powers Bill, called the IP Bill for short, would force Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to store information on the sites and services visited by all users for an entire year. What's more damning, the ISPs would be allowed to share this data with law enforcement without needing a warrant. With this power, the government needs to only accuse you of a crime and they will be able to see if your internet history turns up any more damning evidence. Lord Strasburger, a Lib Dem in the House of Lords, described the potential danger from the IP Bill:
"In the hands of an extreme government the IP bill is a toolkit for tyranny."
Additionally, Lord Strasburger, fears that vague wording in the bill presents a "threat to encryption." In fact, another part of the Investigatory Powers Bill allows the GCHQ, UK's NSA, to hack all the devices in a non-UK town for national security purposes – Oddly reminiscent of recent United States anti-privacy efforts a la Rule 41. Turmoil in recent events, including the terrorist attack in Turkey, have predictably sparked a new slew of violations against privacy across the globe. Politicians have even expressed concern that this type of legislation would become law without public backlash because of the media is occupied elsewhere.

Cat's Cradle
Turn of the Shoe is the second episode of Season 4 of Pretty Little Liars. The episode aired on June 18, 2013.
The girls are at the Brew, discussing the Woman in Black and where Spencer's sister was the night the Lodge burned down. Emily and Hanna agree that Melissa could be the mystery woman while Spencer is using french fries and carrot sticks to map out the geography of the area to see if it is even possible for the person who arrived in the plane could have gotten to the lofge in time to save Aria, Hanna and Emily from the fire. Hanna and Aria argue about Ali possibly being alive and rescuing them from the fire. Hanna states that they never saw a body at the funeral. Aria thinks it is crazy to believe their dead friend could be alive. Spencer is undecided if it could have been Ali that she saw coming out of the plane.
Mona comes into the Brew and says that she has been thinking a lot about the Ali thing. Hanna accuses Mona of putting her mom's phone in Wilden's coffin. Mona says she didn't do it and will do anything to prove that they are all in this together, so Spencer says to take them to the lair. Mona readily agrees.
The girls arrive in separate cars and Mona opens the gate to where the RV was parked, and is in shock to find it missing. The girls think that Mona is lying even though she swears she hasn't been back since she and Hanna locked the RV up the other day. Hanna and Spencer leave in one car, and Aria and Emily being to leave too, but then wait towatch Mona leave first. Mona gets into her car and then all of a sudden, from the back seat, a hooded figure with an Ali mask starts to choke her. Mona desperately tries to reach for the flashlight to use as a weapon and Aria and Emily from a distance can tell that something is wrong, so they start heading towards the car. Mona finally gets the flashlight and whacks "A" with it and jumps out of car, and onto the ground, gasping for breath.
Aria and Emily run over to her then Mona's car starts up and A tries to run all three of them over. Emily tackles them to the ground, out of the way of the oncoming vehicle, and in the process, lands hard on a rock, badly injuring her shoulder.
In the morning Hanna comes down the stairs and receives a text from Aria stating that Mona found her car dumped behind the school and is freaking out. Hanna walks into the kitchen and Ashley talks about her time in New York. Hanna says that she went to Wilden's funeral and asks her mom how she thinks he was killed. Ashley says that Wilden had more enemies than friends, and that one enemy decided to do everyone a favor. Hanna then mentions she found Ashley's phone in the mailbox. Ashley looks at it in surprise and tells Hanna that she must have left it at the hotel and they must have messengered it back.
Spencer checks her mail and she sees a letter addressed to her from the University of Pennsylvania. The letter says that she is a competetive applicant, but they are unable to offer her a place. She is distraught because this was the only school she applied to and the only option for a Hastings.
Hanna and Aria walk down the street talking about the Mona incident and how Hanna is now scared that "A" is trying to frame her mom for murder. Hanna says she wants to know who put the phone in the casket, who recorded that video of the girls outside Wilden's car, and who stole Mona's "A-Mobile." She thinks it had to be either Jenna, Melissa or Shana.
They see Shana sitting outside The Brew and Hanna storms over to confront her about knowing Jenna and why she wasn't at her buddy Wilden's funeral. Shana says that she was at a swim practice. Hanna shouts about Shana and Jenna scraping Wilden off the side of the road, then Aria drags her off.
In the computer lab at school, Paige shows Emily a computer generated model of the dorm room she envisions them sharing at Stanford. Paige hugs her in the excitement and Emily winces in pain. She tells Paige she just slept weird, not wanting to reveal how she actually hurt her shoulder. When Emily remarks she might not be able to swim in the next meet, Paige insists that she has to; her scholarship to Stanford might depend on it.
Spencer and Toby are talking in her room when Toby ignores a phone call and says he has to go. Spencer can tell he is acting weird, but Toby won't tell her anything and leaves.
At the end of English class, the girls including Mona agree to meet up at lunch and Spencer stays behind, still upset about the rejection letter she got from UPenn. Ezra asks her what's wrong and she tells him, then asks him not to say anything because she hasn't told anybody else yet. Ezra suggests she apply to other schools and offers to help her with her essay.
She talks to Ezra about her essay and he says she may not have gotten in because she decided to write about her experience at the mental hospital and how she overcame it. He says colleges look for someone with mental stability and she shouldn't have been so upfront in her essay.
While she's on the phone with Emily, Hanna discovers a bag containing her mom's muddy Manolo heels and the toothbrush she had been trying to clean them with under the kitchen sink. Hanna thinks it is suspicious, but Emily doesn't think much about it at all; her mind is focused on the swim meet. She swallows a prescription pain-killer from her parents' medicine cabinet, then takes a few extra with her in case she needs another one later.
Aria looks for Holden at the place where he practices martial arts, but she finds his instructor Jake instead. She is paranoid that "A" might trying to pick off the smallest ones in the "herd" and might attack her next. Aria asks Jake if he teaches private self-defense classes and makes an appointment to start the following morning.
In her bedroom, Hanna questions Ashley about the muddy heels, but Ashley dodges the questions.
The next day, Hanna is looking for Spencer when Jessica DiLaurentis sees her and calls her over. Hanna has an eerie feeling someone is watching them from the upstairs window, then hears a noise.
Mrs. DiLaurentis then introduces Hanna to Tippi, Ali's grandmother's pet bird, with whom Ali spent a lot of time with while she visited her grandmother in Georgia. The parrot can speak and its voice sounds a lot like Alison's voice. Hanna delicately tries to ask if Mrs. DiLaurentis ever saw Alison's body. She replies seeing the yellow blouse was enough and then recalls the afternoon she and Ali bought that yellow blouse.
Meanwhile, Spencer has a meeting with Mr. Fitz at the school. He tells her that her essay is well-written, but may be too honest for the admissions department of most universities. Spencer disagrees and thinks her essay shows what a strong person she is and how much she has overcome in her life, including a mental breakdown.Towards the end of their first self-defense session, Jake senses Aria doesn't trust him since she won't loosen up. He asks if the reason she came in is because someone threatening her. She says no, its just that she has a lot of stuff going on, including just breaking up with her boyfriend. Jake asks if her ex-boyfriend is who she is afraid of and she says no, but she's just angry and feels helpless. They keep practicing past the end-of-session bell and Aria ends up kissing him. She immediately pulls away, saying she doesn't know why she did that and runs out.
In the flashback, Ali asks her mother about letting her have a sleepover in Cape May with the other girls. Ali claims that their group is falling apart and they need a serious sleepover to get their bring them all together again. When her mother says no, Ali then begins to hold her breath, making her mom very angry. The longer she holds her breath, the angrier she becomes until she finally gives in and says she can have the sleepover.
Jessica tells Hanna it was a trick Ali perfected at the age of 5 to get what she wanted. Hanna says her that Ali never asked them to sleep over at Cape May and Jessica is not surprised considering she found beer bottles at the Cape May cabin. She figured Ali was running with an older crowd, and probably seeing a boy. Jessica is not particularly fond of Tippi, so she gives Hanna the pet bird stating she already has enough voices in her head.
Inside her car, Aria beats herself up for spontaneously kissing Jake. As she drives through town, she spots Mona talking to a cop outside the Police Station. Aria pulls up in front of them and yells to Mona that they're late. Mona plays along and gets in the car. Aria yells at her for talking to the police in broad daylight where "A" could see her. Mona says she was actually eavesdropping on the other cops discussing the details of Wilden's murder nearby. She relays that they taped off the south shore of Torch Lake and found two sets of footprints there - Wilden's and a woman's high heel prints. Mona recalls that Alison used to like wearing high heels.
In Spencer's kitchen, Toby admits that he was the one who moved the RV, explaining that "A" made him move it in exchange for information about about his mother.
Someone is watching Emily as she prepares for the big swim meet in the locker room and takes more pain medication. Shana comes up to her to ask for an extra swim cap. She asks Emily why her friends think she was friends with Wilden and Emily tells her she doesn't like to talk before the race. Shana tells Emily that she has her eye on the Stanford scholarship too, and may the best girl win.
"A" gave him a file from his mother's stay at Radley, including notes on the last session she had with her doctor, on the day she supposedly committed suicide by jumping out a window. The transcript says she was hopeful that day, wishing to get home to see her family, especially her son. Toby says that it doesn't sound like someone who killed herself that day or someone who didn't care enough to even say goodbye, suggesting that maybe she didn't committ suicide at all. Spencer agrees, but doesn't think they should trust any info that "A" supplies. Toby, visibly upset about the whole situation, tells her not to tell anyone about it and leaves just as Aria arrives.
During the race, Emily starts to feel dizzy and vision gets blurry. She misjudges the distance of the wall and crashes into it head first. She is pulled from the pool and rushed out of the school by paramedics. They ask her how she hurt her shoulder and even in a disoriented state, she is able to lie and say she fell off her bike.
Aria and Spencer are talking and Aria says that they don't know if they can really trust Mona and who knows what she was saying to those cops. She then tells Spencer that she can never go back to martial arts because she kissed the instructor. Spencer is distracted by what Toby just told her. Hanna then walks in with Tippi the bird. She says the bird probably knows more about what happened to Alison than anyone else, and it talks a lot so it might say something. Aria and Spencer think Hanna is losing it. They keep talking and they mention the high heels Mona was talking about and Hanna suspects that they were her mom's. All of a sudden Tippi says, "Hey board shorts, miss me?" (a reference to the Beach Hottie) and then sings a song.
Hanna goes home and asks her mom if she was in New York the whole time she was gone. Ashley says of course. Hanna has her doubts and asks if she came back to have it out with Wilden. Ashley sidesteps the qusetion and says she did not kill detective Wilden.Spencer is searching things about Toby's mom while the bird keeps talking and singing. She calls Hanna to come pick up the bird because its driving her crazy. But then Spencer notices that after Tippi sings the song, she says "hello?" Spencer realizes it is not a song, but instead a phone number dial tone.
Aria is at home when Jake comes by to ask her out for coffee. He says "But it's ok if you're not comfortable with the whole student-teacher thing; could be a little complicated." She agrees to go out for coffee with him. Spencer is reading Toby's mom's obituary online and also calling Hanna's cell when she realizes that the song Tippi has been singing isn't a song at all. It is the dial pattern of a phone number.
Aria is home alone when Jake shows up on her doorstep to clear the air after their kiss earlier that day. He tells her that he is interested in dating her if she is comfortable with the whole teacher-student thing. Aria gets a phone call and tells Jake she'd like to see him again over coffee.
In Emily's room, Emily confesses to Paige the real reason she hit her head during the race. She took too many pain-killers which ruined her depth perception. She explains that she needed the pain-killers because she hurt herself saving Aria and Mona from "A." Paige asks why she kept this from her and Emily says she just wants to get away from all the problems with "A" and just be together with Paige. She doesn't want Paige to worry about her.Aria, Spencer, and Hanna call the number that matches the dial tone that Tippi was singing, but no one answers. The area code is in York County. Aria says they should go record Tippi singing the phone number, but when they go back up to Spencer's room where they left the bird, Tippi is missing, and the window is open. "A" stole Tippi.
Someone is watching Ashley as she drinks a glass of wine and puts her muddy heels in a garbage bag. Sensing someone watching her, she goes to the door and turns on the porch light, but the bulb burns out. She then throws away the muddy shoes.
"A" prepares a meal of green beans, wild rice, and small bird. Tippi is in a cage on the table and "A" shares the meal with her.

GST rollout to boost India's economy: Ficci
GST will ease the burden of taxpayers in understanding and complying with tax laws and help in reducing the generation of black money, Ficci said.
06:47 pm
Industry body Ficci today said the rollout of GST will bring about significant gains to India's economy and it looks forward to working with the Government for successful implementation of the crucial tax reform.
GST will ease the burden of taxpayers in understanding and complying with tax laws and help in reducing the generation of black money, it said.
"Goods and Services Tax (GST) will prevent cascading of taxes since input tax credit will be available across goods and services at each stage of the supply chain. The harmonisation of the laws, procedures and rates of taxes enforced by the Centre and the states will bring transparency/uniformity in our tax regime," Ficci said.
Moreover, it said, the establishment of GST Network automates the processing of tax related filings, enabling automation of processes like registration, returns, refunds, tax payments, etc. Which is expected to reduce the interface between the taxpayer and the administration and will go a long way to reduce unwarranted litigation.
Asserting that the GST will help curb the spread of the country's parallel economy, Ficci said the framework of the tax structure, whereby input tax credit is available for the subsequent activity of manufacture or trading, serves as an incentive to be more tax compliant.
"Introduction of a comprehensive GST will enable accurate quantification and corresponding refunds of all taxes and duties suffered by an export product making India's exports competitive in the international market," the chamber said.

Sidebar: A Case (Study) for Hosted CMS
Vendor: WebSideStory; Customer: Fila Online, Inc.
Fila Online is still a work in progress, but Rob McClellan, GM of Fila Online, Inc., was brought on board to help build a global network of ecommerce sites to sell Fila footwear and apparel. He came from another online company where he had worked with an installed content management solution and after a less-than-stellar experience vowed to go with a hosted solution for this job.
He says that he was looking for a content management solution to allow him to roll out multiple Web sites and free up his Web development people. The main reason he cites for going with content management "is that I support a global marketing team that will be rolling out Web sites in multiple languages and I want to take day-to-day maintenance out of the hands of the Web design team as much as possible and put it in the hands of the content owners," McClellan says.
McClellan knew he wanted a hosted solution because of his past experience with an installed solution and because, for him, it put the content management in the hands of experts. "We're best at marketing and making footwear and apparel, not managing servers and upgrades and training people how to use these functions, which are fairly complex." He says the CMS he previously used "often required me to go outside to get help to roll out stuff that should be handled by users. It defeated the purpose of getting a content management system."
When it came to choosing a CMS for Fila, McClellan did not even have to go through a search process because he had done so at his previous company, and the vendor who came in number two in that search was Atomz (now part of WebSideStory). "I looked at six vendors last time around and Atomz came in second. I didn't want to waste time again. I knew it was a fair price, I knew what kind of functionality I wanted, and I knew what to expect," he says.
He was never concerned about losing control or any of the arguments about hosted solutions. "I think every ASP understands if their service is not steady, it's bye-bye," he says. What's more, he believes there are more security concerns in-house than with a hosted solution, which is built to be secure and has people paid to look at security.
In the end, McClellan is content to let WebSideStory deal with the CMS. "I like the idea they designed the stuff and are always working on it, as opposed to training a staff."
Vendor: CrownPeak; Customer: Hyundai Motor America
When Paul Juedes took over as eBusiness manager at Hyundai Motor America in 2003, he evaluated the Web site production workflow and he found his staff were spending too much time making updates to the Web sites, a task that was probably better suited to the content owners in various departments, especially since, he says, there were problems with content consistency.
"The primary pain we were feeling at the time was on our consumer sites and our dealer sites. We had a lot of the same information being posted to train our dealers about new cars and also to give information to our consumers about our new cars. And we were finding inconsistencies between what we were telling the dealers and what we were telling the consumers. So that was the starting point when we started looking at a content management tool," Juedes says.
Another issue is that Hyundai, in order to stay competitive, runs with a lean staff. Juedes has only a couple of developers and a graphic designer, and these people need to support all of the Web applications. Juedes found that making small changes to copy and images on consumer Web sites was taking between 50 and 60 percent of staff time, and because of other obligations, the staff were unable to make these changes in a timely fashion.
Juedes began evaluating content management vendors, both hosted and installed, including CrownPeak, Clickability, Interwoven, and RedDot. Initially he says he had no bias toward a hosted solution, but the more he looked at it, the better it sounded for his situation. "The more I read and learned about hosting, the more attractive it sounded because I have light staff here. And the more I started thinking about being hosted, there were benefits about not having to purchase the hardware and the software that we had to support," he said.
After going through an extensive evaluation process, he found CrownPeak scored highest in every evaluation category including cost, but in spite of this, there was some reluctance from the executive team about purchasing a hosted solution because the CIO had been burned by the hosted model in the past. "The executive team was concerned that hosted would come from smaller companies and that the company might get bought and not be around," Juedes says.
They explored all of the issues related to a hosted model and in the end were able to answer each concern. "We talked about security. We talked about owning content—that wasn't an issue. We talked about the viability of CrownPeak at the time and would they be around to support us. We went through their financials and everything fell into place. They had a good product. And to tell you truth, everything CrownPeak said came true," Juedes says.
According to Juedes, the system was up and running in two and a half months, training went fairly smoothly, and CrownPeak helped them through any rough spots. Hyundai was able to spend less money upfront using the CrownPeak hosted solution and Juedes says he was very happy with the results.

Yes, it is taking me quite some time, but I am still working on my Photography School Scavenger Hunt (anyone else?). I could so totally be done by now if I weren't so picky about my photo submissions in this non-competitive photography exercise. (I mean, I still haven't submitted to the "Something Blue" category — which seems like a no brainer!).
And now, since our Orlando vacation, I have hundreds of photos to sift through, touch-up and categorize, etc. So, hopefully there will be more submissions to come soon … to both the PS Scavenger Hunt and my Flickr collection of Disney Pics.
One day at a time 🙂

9/30/07 at Shea Stadium
This game was painful. It feels stupid to be writing about it four days after the fact, and quite frankly, I'd rather not even have to think about it. But the story must be told–and I apologize in advance for making it brief…
I went to the game with Clif and Gail. Remember them? They were my Watch With Zack clients five days earlier. This second game with them wasn't an official Watch With Zack outing. They had an extra ticket (and bleacher access). I'd been planning to go anyway (and had enjoyed their company), so when they invited me to tag along, I gladly accepted.
Gail parked the car at Shea at around 10am and then hurried over to GATE C to hold a spot at the front of the line. Clif and I wandered and got some good looks at the construction of Citi Field.
Shea opened at 10:40am, and when we ran inside, this is what we saw:
It was an appetizer of pain. The field was set up for batting practice, but there weren't any players in sight. I headed down to the front row of the Marlins' dugout. Head groundskeeper Pete Flynn walked by. I asked him if the teams were planning to hit, and thankfully he nodded.
Fifteen minutes later, a few Mets players trickled out of the first base dugout and began playing catch. I ran over and barely found a space in the first row as Ruben Gotay finished throwing. I asked him for the ball in Spanish. He flipped it high in the air right to me. I reached up for the easy catch. Clif gave me a high-five, and we headed out to right field. He got two balls thrown to him along the foul line, just short of the DreamSeats, and I got two more tossed up to me in the Loge. The first came from Lastings Milledge and required a bit of running on my part. The ball sailed over my head and landed in a tunnel, and I chased it 30 feet into the empty concourse. The second ball (which was one of the oldest balls I'd snagged all year) came from bullpen catcher Dave Racaniello, and I had to reach way over the ledge to make the grab.
When the bleachers opened at 11:40am, there was only half an hour left of BP. Clif (aka "goislanders4" to those who read the comments) got one more ball, and I'll let him be the one to share the details. I ended up snagging two more. The first was tossed by Brett Carroll, and the second–my fifth and final ball of the day–was a homer that landed in a crowded patch of benches.
Clif and Gail and I hung out in the bleachers for the first few innings.
Clif and I ran around the Loge until the seventh inning stretch.
Then we all snuck down to the Marlins' dugout.
I was hoping to snag some bonus items, and I was in a great spot to do so, but it wasn't meant to be. After the final out, someone on the Marlins tossed a cap into the crowd, and I managed to get my hand on it for a split-second before someone else snatched it away. I was furious, and to make matters worse, Fredi Gonzalez gave the lineup cards to the guy in the "VERGA" jersey after telling me earlier that he keeps them.
Let's not even go into detail about the game itself. Tom Glavine gave up SEVEN runs in the top of the first inning, and it was practically over before it started.
• 311 balls in 39 games this season = 7.97 balls per game.
• 494 consecutive games with at least one ball
• 321 consecutive games at Shea Stadium with at least one ball
• 3,272 total balls
• 1 very long winter for Mets fans

Ashley Sutton Unveils an Ode to Romance at IFC Mall
Ashley Sutton, the award-winning designer behind Hong Kong nightlife hotspots Ophelia, J.Boroski, Iron Fairies and Yojimbo, is returning to the city to open his most ambitious project yet: Dear Lilly. Located in a stunning glass-walled space on the roof of IFC mall, Dear Lilly is a romantic restaurant and bar inspired by the dreamy hole-in-the-wall florists found along the most beautiful boulevards in Paris. As with all of Sutton's other projects in Hong Kong, Dear Lilly is a collaboration with restaurant group Dining Concepts, who have consistently brought Sutton's bold, breath-taking ideas to life, turning them from sketches on paper into some of the most striking restaurants and bars in the city.
A tribute to love and romance, Dear Lilly is a floral wonderland. Floor-to-ceiling shelves in the restaurant are crammed with vintage perfume bottles brimming with flowers and hundreds of bouquets hang from the kinetic ceiling, which gently sways the garlands.
"Dear Lilly is unlike anything I've ever done before," Sutton says. "It's an incredibly enchanting space filled with flowers, love letters and charming antique ornaments that I've sourced from around the world. I want people to step inside and feel like they're in a fairy-tale."
As guests are led to their table, they will see striking heart-shaped marble inlays set into the floor, which are engraved with extracts from touching love letters. From their tables, guests can then look down at the marble tiles and read these moving letters over a drink or meal.
After reading thousands of love letters from throughout history, Sutton decided to fill Dear Lilly with extracts from love letters sent by soldiers to their sweethearts during World War I and World War II. The name of the restaurant, Dear Lilly, came from one of these heart-warming letters.
Love letters and poems scrawled on scrolls of paper are piled on the bar alongside vintage, black-and-white photos of couples, giving guests the chance to discover stories and secrets of past loves in every corner of the floral wonderland. The bar and mixologists' workstations are also decorated with antique typewriters, rolls of ribbon and other charming knick-knacks.
For romantic meals and private tête-à-têtes, diners can request to be seated in one of Dear Lilly's intimate booths. Designed to be supersized versions of vintage jewellery boxes, Dear Lilly's booths are heart-shaped steel structures that completely ensconce the diners. Sutton has specially treated the metal to give it the appearance of tarnished sterling silver, which makes the intricate booths look like they're from another era. Inside, the sumptuous seats are wrapped in luxurious velvet.
The staff's outfits also enhance the atmosphere of a magical, romantic garden. Some wear smart button-up shirts decorated with intricate embroidery, while others glide through Dear Lilly in elegant, Victorian-inspired dresses. Mixologists are decked out in vintage aprons with magnifying glasses, antique scissors and other knick-knacks poking out their pockets, while waitresses wear whimsical flower crowns.
The cocktails and food at Dear Lilly are just as impressive as the décor. Alongside classic cocktails such as Bellinis, Sazeracs and Manhattans, Dear Lilly's mixologists serve a selection of signature cocktails. Highlights include the Green Fairy, a sweet mix of Matusalem Platino Rum, green Chartreuse, yuzu juice, pineapple juice, and coconut water; the Mad Enchantment, a refreshing concoction of Pere Magloire Calvados, Lillet Rouge, apple juice, lemon juice, vanilla syrup and blackberry puree; and the Mademoiselle Lilly, which features vodka, Kwai Feh liqueur, Lillet Blanc, cranberry juice, lime juice, raspberry puree and homemade hibiscus.
Historic French cocktails from the 1920s inspired many of Dear Lilly's signature drinks, several of which also feature French spirits and liquers such as Lillet Blanc and Lillet Rouge, Domaine Canton and Pere Magloire VSOP Calvados. To match the restaurant's décor, the cocktails are garnished with edible flowers and sprigs of lavender. On top of its selection of cocktails, Dear Lilly stocks a range of beers from several leading breweries. These beers can be enjoyed on Dear Lilly's terrace, which has sweeping views of Victoria Harbour.
Dear Lilly serves contemporary European cuisine, with particular attention paid to the flavours of the Mediterranean. The restaurant offers both a set lunch and an a la carte menu. Available as either a two-course or three-course meal, the set lunch is the perfect choice for business executives.
Highlights of the a la carte menu include Slow-Cooked Octopus with Roasted Pepper Salsa, Rocket and Seaweed Hummus and the sumptuous Seafood Platter with Oysters, Mussels, Shrimps, Crab Salad, Baby Calamari and Octopus Carpaccio. Dear Lilly also offers a selection of salads and the Curly Kale Salad with Quinoa, Dry Seeds, Red Radish and Orange Vinaigrette is one of the chef's own favourite dishes.
Mains include the classic Italian Puttanesca Pappardelle, which is accompanied by olives, capers, anchovies, olive oil and Parmesan. Two further standout mains are the New Zealand Lamb Cutlets served with your choice of sauce and sides, and the Poached Sea Bass with Herb Crushed New Potato and Salsa Verde.
Dinners à deux are not complete without something sweet to share after your meal. At Dear Lilly, guests can choose between a Berriolette Dome, served with chocolate streusel, berries and fluid gel; Dear Lilly Heart, an indulgent raspberry and white chocolate dish; Chococaramel Tart, accompanied with milk whip ganache, sable and caramelised nuts; and Apple Yuzu Cremeux with hibiscus and passion mint.
Now the only question is: which special someone will you invite to Dear Lilly?

A Big Rock Show in Portland October 13 – 15th
On Friday the 13th of this month the doors will open for the Portland Regional Rock and Mineral Show and some people say it's the best yearly all agate and jasper show in the US. I've never been to this show before but I'll post a report when it's over.
I've been spending this summer west of Portland in Hillsboro which is where the show will take place. I was very happy to be included as a dealer and I've gotten some very nice pieces to add to my already large inventory. I went over to Denver and got fine Condors from Ana de los Santos and Mark Boche, the first really fine Polyhedroid I've seen for a long time and some nice Mexican and Moroccan agates… oh, on and on!
These are just a few of my striking new offerings, I hope you can join me.
Picture Jaspers added to The Cabochon Store
Fellow agateers,
I added two large offerings of Hans Gamma's wonderful picture jasper cabs to The Cabochon Shop this May. Many of the cabochons are from rare jaspers and they are all identified. You can see pictures of all these varieties in Hans Gamma's new book: Picture Jaspers of the Northwest. You can get a copy from Hans by visiting his website worldofjaspers.com.
I also posted eighteen Willow Creek jasper cabs in The Cabochon Shop. I cut them from an exceptional area in the deposit which was quickly exhausted. I liked it because the black strokes in the pale grey and tan backgrounds reminded me of the Sumi paintings made by Japanese Zen monks.
Now I'm settled in Oregon, my ETSY stores are open for business and new postings will be announced soon. Have a great summer,

In the Part 1 (click here) of our explosive coverage of the non-devotional activities from iskcon Durban, now a new temple stands tall exposing themself of being totally non-devotional. The new temple i am talking about is located in Alachua, Florida, United States. The recently held Holi celebration called "Festival of Colors" not only showed how non-devotional they can be but also showed us how collect money for it which is 10$.
The reason iskcon truth is making a big voice about this is because prabhupada never gave permission to do non-devotional activities in iskcon. In the first part we have posted how Prabhupada would not even sanction putting a different deity form of Krsna on the Ratha cart as authorized.
This is a TRAVESTY to HDG Srila Prabhupada to allow such events in ISKCON and to do it without any consideration for what Srila Prabhupada would have to say about this kind of so-called 'preaching'. Moreover, we suspect this is not the end, and there will be more compromises to Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON, as there is not one GBC man or woman who has stood up to defend Prabhupada's ISKCON's way of preaching, and His Instructions on rock music and deviations and change in ISKCON. Kali has again sneaked into ISKCON, this time under the pretense of preaching at so-called Holi 'Festival of Colors'.
Check out these pictures and videos from 'Festival of Colors' and decide for yourself. See how they sing and dance lords name, srila prabhupada would never ever allow this in iskcon.

Regret Takes Me for a Ride in a Limo

I was going to make a post on this same subject, but I agree with everything Sierra has said. I have very little to add, as this is basically an echo of my own thoughts. J.C. Ryle spoke well in reference to pride and humility – "Remember how often Scripture sets before us the excellence of a humble spirit. How strongly we are warned "not to think of (ourselves) more highly than (we) ought to think!" (Rom. 12:3) How plainly we are told, "If anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know!" (1 Cor. 8:2). How strict is the command, "Put on humbleness of mind!"(Col. 3:12). And again, "Be clothed with humility" (1 Pet. 5:5). Sadly, this is a garment of which many seem not to have so much as a scrap." – J.C. Ryle was very insightful in regards to pride. So, we know we are to practice humility; how do we do this? Where should we look? Christ Himself was the perfect example of humility. It was His defining characteristic when He was on earth. In Philippians 2:3-8, Paul speaks to this, saying: "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." The glorious Lord Jesus Christ, whose image we are to always be conforming to, is the complete and perfect example of selflessness, obedience, and humility. We cannot honor God without humility, for actions seemingly God-glorifying will only be tainted by impure motives of self-righteousness; pride, the very sin that cast Lucifer from the presence of God.
As Sierra said, when the Lord blesses us, we are to boast in Him, and Him alone. It is our responsibility to do so, and we should at all times, especially in suffering. Paul speaks of this in 2 Corinthians 11:21-33. In verse 30, he says, "If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness." Boast only of the sufferings and trials Christ has placed in your life, and by His grace, allowed and strengthened you to conquer. Please read and consider Sierra's post. Examine yourself; where does pride exist in your heart? In what ways does it manifest itself in your life? For it does, the reader can be sure of that.
Psalm 34:1b-3, "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul will make its boast in the Lord; the humble will hear it and rejoice. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together."
2 Corinthians 10:17-18, "But He who boasts is to boast in the Lord. For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends."
Who am I, a sinner ravaged by selfishness and pride, that God would look upon me with grace and magnanimous favor? All that I am, God has given. And yet, have I learned to boast in Him for His blessings? When will my heart glory in the only One worth bragging about? Boasting. My heart will always boast. But in whom is the question to be answered…
God is reminding me that He is the only…

She decides to regain her energy and zest for life, which she believed impossible after finding out she had lost a baby due to the multiple injuries she had suffered from the violent act. Her best friend recommends some kind of activity that revitalized her strength. Irene enthusiastically believes she has found the answer in a booklet: theater classes.

Reny and solid pitching spark Panthers to victories in Florida
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Junior Paul Reny (South Portland, Maine) cracked three hits and drove in four runs and senior Jeff Runnals (Wolfeboro, N.H.) and freshman Connor MacRae (Newburyport, Mass.) were impressive on the mound Tuesday as the Plymouth State University baseball team swept a doubleheader from NYU-Poly, 9-2 and 3-1, in the Gene Cusic Classic.
Reny drove in his four runs in the opener on a pair of hits, including a two-run double in the third inning that put PSU up, 4-0. He also drove in a run in a five-run Panther rally in the sixth inning that put the game away. Sophomore Patrick Cannon (Concord, N.H.) also reached base three times for PSU and scored two runs, including a lead-off triple in the first inning and scoring on an infield grounder by Reny.
The first six Panthers to come to the plate in the sixth inning reached base with hits. After junior Dan Armstrong (Danville, N.H.) and freshman Jarek Krajewski (Cranston, R.I.) singled, sophomore Dave Hall (Groton, Conn.) hit an RBI double and freshman Austin Karls (Severna Park, Md.) followed with a two-run single. Sophomore Mike Laflamme (Bedford, N.H.) and Reny kept the rally going with singles, and senior Brandon Cox (Nashua, N.H.) capped the scoring with a sacrifice fly.
Runnals earned his first win of the season (1-1), pitching 5.2 innings and giving up two runs on three hits and three walks, striking out three. He allowed just three base-runners in the first five innings on a walk, a hit and an error before the Blue Jays rallied for a pair in the top of the sixth. Senior Zach Cogswell (Allenstown, N.H.) came on in relief with PSU up 4-2 and the tying runs on base, getting the final out of the sixth inning before retiring the side in the seventh to record his first save.
MacRae earned his first win in his first career start in the second game, allowing just three hits and two walks and a seventh-inning unearned run. He struck out eight batters, including three in the seventh as he finished off his complete-game effort.
The Panther offense managed single runs in the second, third and seventh innings to pull out the win. Junior Justin Walsh (Goffstown, N.H.) singled home a run in the second, Reny doubled and scored on a single by junior Brian Thompson (Southington, Conn.) in the third, and Walsh tripled and scored an insurance run in the top of the seventh on a single by sophomore Justin Judd (Lebanon, N.H.)
PSU, 7-3, will return to the diamond Friday, Mar. 21, with a twinbill against Augustana College, beginning at 10:00 a.m.

Our eye health and sight are such an important part of our overall health and wellbeing. Making sure that we take the right steps to protect and look after our eyes is so significant to keeping a good quality of life.
We've created a series of blogs to give you lots of useful information and helpful tips for maintaining your eye health. This first blog talks through common eye conditions that many of us experience, along with our top tips for keeping your eyes healthy.
Common Eye Conditions Explained
Long and Short Sightedness
These are common conditions that are often corrected when wearing either prescription glasses or contact lenses.
If you are short sighted, you'll have trouble seeing objects at a distance. Short sightedness or Myopia, occurs when the eye is longer than average. This causes the light to focus in the front of the retina which makes objects appear blurry in the distance.
If you are long sighted, you may find it harder to focus on things closer to you but can clearly see objects in the distance. This occurs when the eye is shorter than average. It causes the light to focus behind the retina instead of on it, which causes the blurry vision.
Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that can occur when the eyes don't produce enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly. This leads to the eyes drying out, making them swollen and irritated. Common causes of dry eye syndrome include hot, windy climates, wearing contact lenses or medical conditions such as blepharitis. This can be treated with the use of eye drops, which we stock in the practice.
If your eyes are dry, but also red and sore, you may have blepharitis. This causes your eyelids to become inflamed and uncomfortable. It is a common condition and is usually long term, which means you will require ongoing treatment. At Richard Petrie Optometrists, we offer a BlephEx treatment which is specifically for dry eyes and blepharitis.
This is an eye condition when the optic nerve at the back of your eye becomes damaged due to raised pressure in the anterior part of your eye. If it is left untreated then it can cause you to permanently lose part of your peripheral (side) vision.
The different types of Glaucoma include, Chronic, which happens over time and Acute which can happen quickly.
Cataracts usually occur when the lens in your eye gradually becomes cloudy. Cataracts are more common in older age. If your vision becomes blurred due to the cataracts, your optometrist can arrange a referral for possible treatment.
We can give you lots of advice and information on all the common eye conditions you may have heard of at our practice in Littleover. You'll also find useful leaflets from the Association of Optometrists to read.
Our Top Tips for Eye Health
There are lots of steps that you can take to keep your eye health the best that it can be, here are our simple tips that you can follow to make sure that you continue seeing your best:
✓ Have regular eye tests – this is essential for maintaining healthy eyes, they can help to detect other underlying health issues early too.
✓ Eat well – a balanced and healthy diet will help to reduce the risk of eye diseases.
✓ Don't smoke – smoking increases the risk of eye diseases developing.
✓ Wear your prescription glasses – they help to make your eyes work more efficiently.
✓ Take a break from the screen – whether it's a smartphone, computer, TV or tablet, taking regular breaks gives your eye muscles a rest.
✓ Protect your eyes from the sun – make sure you never look at the sun directly, and wear sunglasses to protect from UV rays.
✓ Be aware of your family's health history – some eye conditions may run in families, which may increase your risk.
Keeping Up with Regular Eye Examinations
It is recommended that you should have an eye examination every two years. This allows your optometrist to check for any changes in your vision and your general eye health.
Our private eye examination includes 3D photos and scans of the layers in the back of your eye, taken by our OCT scanner, a visual fields tests, pressure checks for glaucoma and a full prescription check.

The Healthcare Roller Coaster Part 2
Providers, Distributors and Manufacturers
Let's Begin Part Two of this Series by Looking into our Healthcare Crystal Ball at the Year 2034:
• Patients can print their medications (and other consumables) on demand. They receive electronic "pills" from the manufacturer that contain patient-specific formulas, dosages and concentrations.
• Generics are fondly remembered; along with the Betamax, 8-track tapes and the rotary telephone.
• Manufacturing plants have largely disappeared and given way to more localized "print centers". These print centers serve a defined geographic area and focus on product lines that are manufactured (printed) in smaller lots and customized for patients, as well as high cost/low volume items.
• Just like patients do at home, providers can print needed inventory on a real-time basis. Providers primarily focus on printing surgical items that are specific to a patient's needs. Consumable items are delivered JIT from a warehouse that supports all of the provider facilities in a geographic region.
• The classic distributor has morphed into a specialty services provider with offerings such as synthetic material management, bio- storage for organ "printing", and business continuity printing services.

For the Yankees, the ultimate payback for Alex Rodriguez getting thrown at by Ryan Dempster was him hitting a key home run in an eventual 9-6 win at Boston on Aug. 19.
As the games increase in urgency for the Yankees, who have 23 games to make up 2 1/2 games in the wild-card race, retaliation is hardly on anyone's mind as the season enters the high noon portion.
The only difference is that the Yankees are the chasers and not the hunted like last season when Baltimore stalked them for most of the final month.
So about that retaliation?
Not going to happen at least based on the comments emanating from the Yankee clubhouse.
"No, we're not looking to do that," Robinson Cano said. "We're just going to go out there tomorrow, play the game the right way that we have always been and what's in the past we're going to keep in the past."
"Time is always good," manager Joe Girardi said on Wednesday. "I think we obviously know what is at stake. We have to go out and play the games and win the games. That is the most important thing. I think our guys know what is at stake."
Last night marked the one-month anniversary of Rodriguez getting handed a 211-game suspension for his alleged PED use in the wake of the Biogenesis scandal. In the first two weeks with Rodriguez playing while appealing the ban the Yankees won seven of 13 games, going from 57-53 to 64-59.
That was a time when emotions were at their highest with John Lackey saying he didn't think Rodriguez should be playing and Dempster seemingly reinforcing that sentiment with a purpose pitch that sent Girardi into a rage.
It was also at the peak of the "he said, she said" debate between Rodriguez and the Yankees. It was a weekend when general manager Brian Cashman conceded that his conversations with the third baseman, whom he famously told to "shut the f— up" in June, are limited to informal hellos. It also was a time when Rodriguez's new lawyer Joe Tacopina went on the offensive against the Yankees and MLB.
Now when Rodriguez talks the conversation is only about baseball. He declared that to be the case Aug. 21 and the Yankees have won nine of the 14 games since.
"We've been fighting since the beginning of the year," Mariano Rivera said. "We've been fighting with the team that we have. Now we have basically almost everybody back. We're still fighting. We not giving up and just pushing and pushing and pushing. We'll see if we can go that far."
The ultimate retaliation for the Yankees is not a fastball at someone's back but blowing one past a hitter or blowing one out of a ballpark.
"I think our guys understand that," Girardi said. "I don't expect there to be anything from Major League Baseball or the umpires. We've got to do what we've got to do to win."

Welcome to Source of Steel - The Heavy Metal Museum. For the metal head who likes to own or collect physical CDs, Source of Steel is my website dedicated to the love of physical metal on shiny plastic discs. Micro-reviews, thoughts, pics of my own collection and random utterances galore. The site started out purely as a way of sharing my rarities to like-minded fans, but now (for longevity's sake more than anything) it is open to new physical metal music bits I've picked up, including new releases and other random shit.
Belial - Never Again
Belial's early material is held in generally high esteem, and quite rightly so. They went pretty strange towards the end of their career, adopting a more punkish rock vibe for their final album '3'. 'Never Again' however was their debut full length from 1993 - and it's well worth looking into for fans of extremity with huge hooks. This is an original pressing on Lethal Records (it was re-issued years later on Galgenstrang/Funeral Industries, but with completely different cover art).
