Sifting, as we do each month, through the international mailbag sent via our U.K. and North American agents, we're forever staggered by the mix of communiques contained therein. Press events, product suggestions and invites are one thing (actually, make that three things), but it's the design negative imagery we're sent that really strikes a chord. As we mince and wince over snapshots of loathsome living rooms, bilious bathrooms and calamitous kitchens, we're reminded that the world still has some way to go before design atonement is achieved.
And this month's most frequently posted subject? Requests for advice on kids' rooms and nurseries. Aye, it appears the stork has been extra busy of late and, consequently, making babies (babies' rooms, that is) has become quite the C&J preoccupation.
Handily, we've first-hand experience that makes it easy to talk about child-friendly environments. Indeed, we once fitted out a fabulous nursery in our very own home. STOP. REWIND. Nursery?
Well, we had to provide the perfect backdrop against which our baby could grow. Blimey, we can hear your minds working overtime as you absorb this statement. Yup, the aforementioned stork once flew over our Scottish pile to deliver Damien, our wonderful wee bundle of baby joy.
It all started after a gin-fuelled evening (doesn't it always?) with American supermodel Caprice. Now we've got your attention! Supermodel? Believe us, there was absolutely NO biological element to this parenting situation.
Caprice declared (while, ahem, chatting lingerie design, makeup tips and party frocks) that she'd never really considered motherhood, while we countered her pleadings, explaining how much we'd love the opportunity to become dads.
Hmm. What is it they say? "Be careful what you wish for." Anyway, to cut a long story short, a TV production company at the time was scouting participants for a groundbreaking reality show and we were approached to take part in an experiment to "raise" an animatronics $150,000 baby over the course of a weeklong observation.
Several meetings later, Caprice was also on board and our - un-biological - gestation began.
Scared yet? Wondering how it all went? Well, over the course of a week Caprice managed to drop her baby on the floor (thereby dislocating one of his arms) and we almost poisoned ours by feeding him curdled milk. "But if he was a robot," we hear you cry, "could he actually be poisoned?" Well, actually, yes. Notionally, at least; bear in mind we were under the watchful eye of a group of antenatal nurses and a child psychologist.
Our little lad could also pee and soil his diaper, these functions being controlled (to test us) by radio. Come to think of it, he did a mean line in projectile vomit and an even meaner line in ear-splitting screams. Aye, he was a difficult mite to say the very least, but we shall never forget the time we cared for him. Okay, so he wasn't a real child. And okay, he was remotely controlled to drive us crazy. But weird as it probably sounds, we bonded with little Damien. Or rather, we bonded - and fell in love with - the notion of a blessing we shall probably never enjoy. But hey; that's another story, for another time.
In the meantime, let's get down to business. Kids' rooms; we have experience. And, over the years, we've created many, using colour as our starting point. Shade selection is clearly personal and, while we appreciate the market is predisposed to pink and blue, white is our top tip as it makes a great backdrop against which to add drama via subsequent, flexible layering.
But white? Well, if you're worried about wee fingers leaving crayon or foodstuff smudges, try this: add a decorative border at waist height and use matte emulsion above, and gloss below. Et voila - offending marks will vanish courtesy of a damp cloth. Another trick is to designate one area as a blackboard; simply paint with specialist product, allow it to dry, then give the little 'uns chalk and let them get stuck in. And when it's time to clean up? Simply rub off the masterpiece and start again.
How about underfoot? In our Glasgow "nursery," we used floor paint on untreated boards and provided interest by blocking out slabs of brighter colour to delineate play areas and walk zones. International Paints (check our resource list) do a fab range that's durable enough to cope with even the roughest of tumble. If choosing carpet, select product that's washable and stain repellent. Bright shades date, so make statements with decorative elements or rugs.
Lighting, too, is important and should remain subdued. As well as visiting specialist outlets, raid the aisles of a big box store, which carry great ranges that work well in junior domains. The secret to making lighting work (in adult or juvenile contexts) is a simple dimmer; with the twist of a button, mood can be adjusted to suit circumstances.
We're frequently asked about "future proof" furniture - beds in particular, can be problematic, but worry not; the clever chaps at Room To Grow have addressed this head on with a selection of cribs that extend and convert as your child makes the transition from baby to teenager. Click on our link for details.
In a nutshell, the secret to a successful project is a clean and comfortable backdrop, one that can be modified (without fuss or expense) as time and tastes fluctuate. Our watch word, therefore, is flexibility. Kids' passions switch frequently and the last thing you want is to face a complete gut down six months after your child springboards from Batman to Spider-Man, or from Barbie to My Little Pony.
For the most part, adults assess risk and exist in such a way as to avoid incidents. Children, however, particularly young ones, need safety to be considered for them so they can get on with the serious business of having fun. This in mind, let's have a look at health and safety.
Tiny fingers are easily trapped in door hinges, so install plastic safety mechanisms; these fit easily and can be found in DIY chains.
Ensure window cords and blind chains are tucked out of harm's way. Each year, sadly, deaths occur when children become trapped in the workings of "innocent" window apparatus.
Avoid trailing electrical flexes and protect plugs with childproof fronts.
Fit windows with secure locks that allow for ventilation, yet limit opening without supervision.
We never install open fires or gas fires in kids' rooms. We don't even need to explain why.
If you have exposed radiators, we'd counsel they're kept on a separate thermostat to restrict heat. If this isn't possible, position a decorative safety screen in front to protect delicate digits.
Rugs on hard floors should have anti-skid mats positioned below to protect against slipping.
Avoid low-level shelves. These might seem appropriate, but they can be hazardous upon collision with little heads.
What? Hello? Is this the lair of a young Freddy Krueger, or the result of a misguided attempt at child-friendly décor? The red hand effect, we're sure you'll agree, was a nightmare and indeed the polar opposite of that which might energize a young mind. Remedy, fortunately, lay just around the corner, aided and abetted by some white latex and a roller.
Our design inspiration stemmed from the fabric we chose for the blind and the cushions. To save money, we reused the existing bed, but padded the wooden frame with foam and then reupholstered it with the same material. We colour matched the paint to the fabric, and then created the magic with masking tape and a great deal of patience. The results speak for themselves and cost little more than a litre of each colour. Ikea carries a range of jaunty textiles that are fun, colourful and well priced, so head over and get creative.

A park "for birds, for pleasure and for the people of Hamburg" was established on the site in 1930, followed in 1935 by a horticultural exhibition called Planten un Blomen (local dialect for plants and flowers), the name which remains to this day. In the centre of the Planten un Blomen Park stands an array of listed tropical hothouses retained from the previous botanical gardens. The park's traditional rose garden, occupying 5,000 square metres, offers a different kind of calm and tranquillity. The flowerbeds with box hedging are the perfect backdrop for the classical concerts that are performed here every day throughout the summer season. There is also an apothecary garden where visitors can learn about the healing powers of plants. Stressed city dwellers love nothing more than sitting by the fountains during the water and light shows. In 1985 work began on the ramparts, and a delightful Japanese garden with a teahouse was added, the largest of its kind in Europe. Children can expend their energy in the fun-packed playground, while visitors of all ages can go ice skating in winter. The huge rink is one of the largest outdoor rinks in the world and is used by roller skaters and bladers in summer. Located in the south-west tip, the Museum of Hamburg History tells the story of the city from its origins around 800 AD to the present day. Nearby attractions: when it opened 100 years ago Hagenbeck Zoo was the first to dispense with caged enclosures and paved the way for zoo keeping as we know it today. With 25 hectares of varied countryside and 7km of marked trails, it is now a themed family attraction offering an unforgettable experience for all. The Speicherstadt district from the late 19th century remains to this day the largest warehouse complex in the world. In 1991 the buildings came under a preservation order. In St. Pauli, the Landungsbrücken landing stages – the 'gateway to the world' – is where barges, sightseeing boats and museum ships set off on harbour tours.

Faced with increasing consumer demand, limited spectrum assets and a need to provide the best user-quality network, MetroPCS partnered with Ericsson to launch the first 4G LTE network in the US, a milestone in the telecom landscape.
The benefits of LTE
LTE simplified the network and increased spectral efficiency significantly while driving down costs.
The transformation, which began at the end of 2009, included Ericsson LTE /Evolved Packet Core products as well as turnkey services and was completed within a year.
Malcolm Lorang, CTO and cofounder of MetroPCS, says it was important to the company that it stay ahead of the competition by offering the latest standards-based technology available, while providing a service that didn't burden users with high costs.
"Rich communication is what people are demanding, and we need to ensure they get the right solutions to keep them happy. However, not everyone wants to enter a phone contract that they can't control – nor can everyone afford to – so it was great to find a solution that was able to do both."
Overcoming obstacles
But it hasn't always been smooth sailing. Nishant Batra, Ericsson VP and Key Account Manager for MetroPCS, says innovation, perseverance and speed were essential.
There were numerous product design challenges that had to be overcome because the technology was still new, standards were still evolving and this was the first such large-scale deployment.
"Our Services teams worked closely with the global Ericsson organization and the customer to deliver truly innovative end-to-end solutions, whether the focus was planning, design, deployment or optimization," Batra says. "We did this with great speed and quality, market-by-market, in 12 markets across the US. Deploying a network of this scale in record time was definitely a challenging and intense experience."
He also recalls the supply challenges, such as when volcanic ash from an eruption in Iceland completely disrupted transportation across the Atlantic.
But all the obstacles were overcome thanks to constant communication between the partners, excellent project management and a strong desire to launch the first 4G LTE network in the US.
And that is what they did. Months before the competition, MetroPCS was first to market with 4G LTE services. Looking ahead as a testament to the strength of the partnership, MetroPCS has asked Ericsson to take on several subsequent assignments. One of the most significant is to build a microwave-based backhaul network to support the current LTE network.
"Business only succeeds when you meet the demands of the customer," Lorang says. "The difficult thing in today's economy is that business is no longer stationary – it is constantly changing. What was true a year ago is not true today, and what is true today will not be true a year from now. So it's important to always stay ahead of the pack.
"The responsiveness we see from the Ericsson staff is greatly appreciated. They are willing to work with us and go the extra mile. It's a very valuable partnership for both of us."
Batra agrees. "Helping MetroPCS stay ahead of the curve when it comes to LTE technology is very beneficial for Ericsson because it gives us the opportunity to ensure we stay ahead of the curve too."

Jolt Awards: The Best Books, October 01, 2013 Five notable books every serious programmer should read.
Finalist: Team Geek
By Brian Fitzpatrick and Ben Collins-Sussman
One of the hardest aspects of a manager's job is building a team, keeping it on track, and helping it stay free of productivity-sapping dynamics. Likewise, for developers, the great challenge is how to work in a team and handle the inherent stresses and strains without becoming an impediment or drain on the collective effort. This book is very much oriented to explaining these dynamics and how teams can ideally be assembled, managed, and led towards productive results. In this sense, it is a modern-day version of the classic title Peopleware, but updated for today's teams.
This update is necessary because the culture of software development has changed so much. The authors, both presently at Google but earlier contributors to high-profile open-source projects, cast the necessary wisdom so that it's tailored to present needs. The latter include handling teams that comprise not only developers but designers, the current emphasis on agile and lean methods, and the expectation that team leaders will provide direction on the basis of more than just a hierarchical authority.
As such, the advice is supremely pragmatic and eschews philosophical views of management. For example, here are the suggestions on managing problems without drama:
• Reject behaviors, not people.
• Guard your team's attention and focus.
• Ignore trolls and stick to facts.
• Don't sacrifice long-term culture for short-term convenience.
All good advice that is elaborated with care and presented so as to be implemented immediately. The discussions of meetings and team communications are especially well thought out and clearly articulated. It's evident the authors have spent a lot of time thinking about the problems and testing solutions before formulating the counsel they present here.
This book is short and highly readable. Team Geek should be mandatory reading for most developers today.

The Lady Panthers looked good at home for two quarters against rival Durango on Tuesday night.
There's just one problem.
High school girls basketball is four quarters.
Montezuma-Cortez High School led the rival Demons 11-8 after the first eight minutes. But offensive stagnancy in the second and third quarters doomed the Lady Panthers at Ron Wright Memorial Gym. The Demons built a 21-point second half lead and in the end, M-CHS lost by 20, 59-39.
"We have such beautiful, shining moments where the girls just look so good. And then, we turn it over," Montezuma-Cortez coach Justine Bayles said. "It's so hard to keep them from reverting back to those bad habits that we have tried to really reinforce and try to break. There's just those moments where we get back into bad habits."
The Lady Panthers (1-15, 1-7 4A Southwestern League) got behind 8-3 in the early going. But senior captain Miranda Elliott steered her team in the right direction with four free throws. Nicole Demby added one at the charity stripe in between Elliott's free pitches and the game was tied at 8.
Naomi Pinnecoose banked in a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give M-CHS an 11-8 lead after the first frame.
The Lady Panthers built their biggest lead at 14-10 early in the second quarter when Elliott converted an old fashioned three-point play.
Durango (11-6, 4-4 SWL) started a decisive run fueled by Emily McCue and Augusta Brockus to reclaim the lead. The Demons ended the first half on a 15-1 scoring spree and led 25-15 at the break.
McCue continued to have her way inside, as Durango took control in the third quarter. The Demons would build a 45-24 lead going into the fourth quarter.
M-CHS got its offense back on track in the final eight minutes. But that wasn't nearly enough time for the Lady Panthers to mount any sort of a comeback.
"It's our turnovers that really got us. We needed to just slow it (the tempo) down," said Elliott, who plans to play college softball at Garden City (Kan.) Community College. "We were getting frustrated and started trying to really get the points. We didn't slow it down."
Elliott paced M-CHS with a game high 23 points.
"We need to work more on our passes," she said. "That's one of the biggest things we need to do."
McCue led Durango with 16 points, while Brockus chipped in 13.
The Lady Panthers finish the regular season Friday and Saturday against Grand Junction and Montrose at 6 p.m. and noon.

Half of exchange-traded fund investors in the 2013 Charles Schwab ETF investor study said they plan to increase their ETF holdings over the next year, representing a 22% rise in demand from 2012, Schwab reported Thursday.
Nearly one in 10 investors, or 9%, now hold 50% or more of their portfolios in ETFs, more than double the 4% reported last year. Cost and fees continued to be critical factors when investors make ETF buying decisions, according to the survey that studied ETF investors both in and outside of Schwab's platform, but worries about possible hidden fees topped investors' concerns about expense ratios and trade commissions.
"Demand is up across the board, and investors who own ETFs appear to be more interested in the product than ever," said Beth Flynn, vice president of ETF platform management at Charles Schwab, in a statement. "We're seeing less discussion of 'if' and more about 'how' investors will buy and use ETFs. We're seeing an upward shift in sophistication among ETF investors, and a hunger to learn more."
The 2013 ETF Investor Study, Schwab's third annual survey of ETF investors, is an online survey of more than 1,000 individual investors between the ages of 25 and 75 with at least $25,000 in investable assets. Conducted by Koski Research in August, the survey focuses on investors who have purchased ETFs in the past two years and/or are considering purchasing ETFs in the next two years.
A Merrill Lynch retail ETF analyst in attendance at the Morningstar ETF Invest Conference 2013 in Chicago who was familiar with the Schwab study said Friday that he the survey results were useful. "They provide data points about ETF investors," he said, noting that whether or not an investor buys ETFs comes down to two factors: cost and education.
Similarly, the Schwab study found that investors reacted strongly to lack of transparency when it comes to cost, with 94% saying that understanding an ETF's total cost is important. Clarity around a fund's redemption fees or other hidden fees was considered the No. 1 cost factor, with 71% calling it extremely important. That factor ranked ahead of expense ratios at 61% and trade commissions at 54%.
Investors surveyed also pointed to the importance of education, with the study revealing that three in 10 investors said they still need to know more about ETFs in order to invest more in them. Respondents are most interested in learning more about ETFs' tax implications, followed by a desire to understand how to best use ETFs in a portfolio.
The top benefit of ETFs, according to study participants, is that they can be bought and sold like stocks. More than half, or 53%, said they believe ETFs are best suited for those in the market for the long term, while 40% felt they were well-suited for active traders.
As for ETFs most in favor with investors these days, sector funds ranked first, with equity and international ETFs rounding out the top three. Among specialty ETFs specifically, respondents are most interested in purchasing commodity funds.
Flynn, who attended the Morningstar ETF Invest Conference, said Friday that another indicator of interest in ETFs comes from investors' use of the Schwab ETF Portfolio Builder, which has not yet been advertised yet is already being used by 5,000 clients.
"That shows an appetite for building a long-term ETF portfolio," said Flynn, who is the Portfolio Builder's business owner. ETF Research managing director Michael Iachini designed the self-directed tool for retail investors with a minimum investment of $5,000, offering a portfolio of eight ETFs based on five risk tolerance profiles from conservative to aggressive.

Remove now unnecessary gnome-power-manager blocker, all revisions of it that could file collide with hal are gone now and it included the 2.22 versions in the blocker, which was not necessary and is problematic with HAL stabling but g-p-m staying at 2.22. This fixes bug 287037; Gracious revbump to ensure amd64 stable users get the blocker fixed in VDB, permission from mrpouet to keep the stable keyword (Portage version: 2.2_rc33/cvs/Linux x86_64, RepoMan options: --force)

Fix #267706 and #267621 (Portage version: 2.2_rc31/cvs/Linux x86_64)
Bump to hal-0.5.12_rc1-r1 - I'm taking primary maintainership from chainsaw, with his permission - Add policykit and consolekit flags. Since pk support depends on ck support, the policykit flag will enable consolekit support, even if the consolekit flag is not set. This allows proper USE-depend from other packages. - Add CPUFreq to the dbus allow lists (Portage version: 2.2_rc31/cvs/Linux x86_64)
Drop useless ||() construct since there is only one atom in it. (Portage version: 2.2_rc31/cvs/Linux x86_64)
Update HOMEPAGE, closes bug #261356 by Mr. Anderson <email@example.com>. Version bump to 0.5.12 release candidate 1 which incorporates some patches. Patchset trimmed and rebased accordingly. (Portage version: 184.108.40.206/cvs/Linux x86_64)
Marked ppc64 for bug #259080. (Portage version: 18.104.22.168/cvs/Linux x86_64)
Stable for HPPA (bug #259080). (Portage version: 2.2_rc23/cvs/Linux i686)
arm/ia64/sh/sparc/x86 stable wrt #259080 (Portage version: 126.96.36.199/cvs/Linux 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 ia64)
Mark stable on AMD64 for bug #259080 based on an arch tester report by Víctor Enríquez <firstname.lastname@example.com>. (Portage version: 220.127.116.11/cvs/Linux x86_64)
alpha stable wrt #259080 (Portage version: 22.214.171.124/cvs/Linux 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 ia64)
Mark stable on PowerPC 32-bit for bug #259080, based on arch testing by Christian Schmitt <email@example.com>. Unmasking USE=laptop in the powerpc profile as requested on the bug. (Portage version: 126.96.36.199/cvs/Linux x86_64)
As per Christian Schmitt, PowerPC plans to stop masking the laptop USE-flag. This would break compilation with the current setup, so enable MacBook/MacBook Pro support unconditionally on both AMD64 & X86. It introduces no additional dependencies. No revision bump, those that care already had the laptop USE-flag on anyway. (Portage version: 184.108.40.206/cvs/Linux x86_64)
Revive a patch by Cardoe to fix test failures, closes bug #176535. Enable support for MacBook/MacBook Pro if USE="laptop", closes bug #200643. Patch from Ambroz Bizjak <firstname.lastname@example.com> removes ill-conceived UID checks so NTFS volumes can be automounted, closes bug #205901. Upstream commits scavenged by Ricardo Salveti <firstname.lastname@example.com> allow mac80211-based wireless devices to be detected properly, closes bug #246026. Reverted partition unhiding from bug #247025, it was already controversial but has been proven to automount recovery partitions. (Portage version: 184.108.40.206/cvs/Linux x86_64)
Do not break the dependency tree by being silly about hal-info. (Portage version: 126.96.36.199/cvs/Linux x86_64)
Avoid circular dependencies between HAL and X by dropping migration script and py86 dependency, closes bug #225091 by Ster0n <email@example.com>. Properly ignore Dell recovery partitions, patch supplied by Pacho Ramos <firstname.lastname@example.com> in bug #236784. Stop hiding unmounted partitions, as suggested by Kirill Igorevich Cherniy <email@example.com> in bug #247025. Upstream patch identified by Rafael <firstname.lastname@example.com> fixes detection of partitions over ~1.2TB in size, closes bug #253815 by Yar Odin <email@example.com>. Cease using deprecated keys in our installed examples, as pointed out by Sebastian Günther <email@example.com> in bug #256304. (Portage version: 184.108.40.206/cvs/Linux x86_64)

Enable PMU support for PowerPC hardware, as suggested by Christian Schmitt <firstname.lastname@example.com> in bug #253866. (Portage version: 18.104.22.168/cvs/Linux 2.6.28-05716-gfe0bdec-dirty x86_64)

How Do You Enjoy the Post Season When Your Team Doesn't Have a Post Season? + Really Josh Hamilton?
I answered one facet of this question in one of my very first blog posts, wherein I talked about choosing a team to adopt for the postseason. But that is only one aspect of the answer. For some folks the entire answer is a simple, you don't. But that just doesn't work for me. The stakes are too high, the players too good and the action too exciting to ignore…besides, this is the last small slice of baseball we get to enjoy before the cold lonely baseball-less months of late fall and winter begin.
So, how do you enjoy the post season when your team doesn't have a post season? For me the answer is eagerly, excitedly and with a sense of fun, but also distractedly and with a sense of detachment. Witness, I am watching the games, as many as we can when so many of them start while we are at work, but our kitchen is clean. Our bills are filed. When the game is one the east coast and starts early for us, dinners are more elaborate than slapped together sandwiches. (Okay, we ate sandwiches for dinner this evening, but they involved left over pork loan, brie, sautéed apples and onions and a chipotle peach jelly. They were absolutely not slapped together. 😉 ) The laundry is not only folded but — gasp! — put away. Both my husband and I are more willing to pick up a few mid-week groceries on our way home from the office instead of trying to cram the trip into a lunch break while crossing our fingers that no one swipes them from the office fridge. For better or worse, these things are simply a lot less true during the regular season…even more so during an Angels post season.
So the answer is, you enjoy the post season much the same as you would otherwise, but with a passion that is purely generic in nature. Oh, many of the teams in the current post season excite me and there have been several truly great games so far to be sure. But I can tear my eyes away from the screen for a little while for even mundane chores…and I do. That would never happen with the Angels, but I can't think of a single other team that would inspire adopted passion on the same magnitude. The only teams that come close for me are family teams.
If the Angels were out but the Dodgers, my childhood team and the team half my family roots for, were in? I know could summon a fair bit of passion. Not the same as for the Angels by any means but passion even so. When the Giants, the team whose orange and black colors the other half of my family bleeds, made the series, it wasn't even the same as the Dodgers would have been, but it was in fact more special than the current post season's offerings. That's it…and those two teams still aren't even close. So, I will continue to hoot and holler and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, but I think the kitchen won't have any problems staying clean.
Oh, and for the record, my answer to the "who am I rooting for part of the question" is not as cut and dried as it was last season. My favorite non-Angels teams heading into the post season were the D-Backs, the Brewers and the Rays… *sigh* I wanted badly for the Rays to be able to go further, but what they accomplished was nothing short of miraculous and a joy to behold. So, I have been rooting for the D-Backs (though I won't mind if the Brewers win instead…I do like them too), the Rays, the Cards and the Tigers. I will narrow it down further, of course, after the ALDS and then again for the World Series.
I'd love the D-Backs to take it all, because I adore Joe Saunders — and I miss him even though I wholeheartedly approved of the Dan Haren trade — and because Kirk Gibson was a childhood hero whom I still admire. Ryan Roberts grand slam against the Dodgers, where he paid homage to Gibby's famous homerun as a Dodger with arm pumps down the first base line? Chills. Absolute chills. But I could find myself happily rooting for one of the other teams I mentioned should the D-Backs not make it past Friday. Because when you're strictly a for the month of October, adopted fan, switching allegiances based on who won and any number of other frivolous reasons is not only acceptable, it's darned necessary. 🙂
* * * * *
As several media sources reported, just before Tuesday's game Josh Hamilton was asked about the success in a Rangers uniform of Vlad Guerrero last season and Mike Napoli this season. A leading question to be sure, but still…
Hamilton's response? "I think we're going to look at who we can get from the Angels next year." Ouch. But whatever obnoxious truth there may be in that statement, nice Josh. Way to stay classy. Especially considering that the Rangers dropped Vlad like a hot potato the second they could no longer say 'Who cares how much money we spend?! We're filing for bankruptcy!'
Hey Josh, chances are Fernando Rodney is going to be available next season. Likely for a bargain price. Since the Rangers are so excellent at finding diamonds in the Angels rough, I suggest they dive on that grenade. With gusto!

2. It's almost cool enough at night to bust out the electric blanket. We bought one last year, and oh.
It's impossible not to feel like a queen when you climb into a perfectly warmed up bed.
3. We adopted another dog after our beloved Mesa passed away, and although she is perfectly pleasant - albeit high strung - it's just not the same. Do you ever get over losing the perfect pet?
4. Friday morning walks with one of my favorite friends are more precious than gold. And not just because she can quote more episodes of Seinfeld than me (how is that even possible??)
5. The hot turkey/pesto/red onion sandwich from Costco is worth every penny of that 3.99
6. I can only drink milk if I'm eating sweet stuff, so when the kids see me putting a glass of it into the freezer (it has to be super cold) (don't ask me how many times I've forgotten and left it in there to freeze solid), they know dessert is hiding somewhere in the kitchen and the search begins.
7. I only fix my hair once a week. At work I wear a hat, and on Saturdays I'm usually too busy to remember to jump in the shower before 5pm, and by that time...what's the point?
8. Not having my hair fixed makes me feel frumpy.
9. I can't keep the office desk clean to save my life. I can *clean* it off, but as soon as I'm working on something, my spreading tendencies take over and we're back to square one. If Roger could change one thing about me, this would surely make the list. Right below not taking off my earrings and leaving them on said desk. Or coffee table. Or kitchen counter.
10. The alarm clock by my bed disappeared a month ago and has yet to show up. I thought maybe it got knocked off, but it wasn't under the bed, behind the dresser, or anywhere else that it could've possibly gone. I thought for sure it would eventually reveal itself but 'tis not so.
11. The guitar I was supposed to learn to play is upstairs in Sierra's room. She's taught herself, and someday I'll buy another one so we can jam together.
12. After I learn how to play.
13. I've had a chest/bronchitis thing for the last two weeks that's finally (!) gone. I learned the hard way how weak my bladder is during a cough attack. Lots of laundry, is what I'm saying.
14. I don't feel like getting the Christmas decorations down this year. Not in a gloomy I'm-a-scrooge kinda way, but in a do-we-really-need-to-deal-with-more-crap-in-the-house kinda way. On the flip side, I'm tickled pink to deck the halls at our store.
15. I'm 5'9 and Brendan, age 14, has passed me in height. Jordan, age 12, has about another inch and I'll be looking up at him too. I'm realizing that someday all four boys are going to be towering over me. Weird.
16. I made a New Year's Resolution to clean off the bathroom counter every morning before I leave. For the year, my success rate is 75%
17. Next year I was thinking of trying to make the bed every day, but should I even attempt something that I KNOW I won't follow through on?
18. My bottom kitchen cabinets haven't has a thorough scrubbing since I painted them. Over 3 years ago.
19. No matter how much they may deny it, every once in a while I see my kiddos do something that is so obviously "something they got from me" and I experience what can only be described as a proud mama moment. Exhibit A: dancing in the grocery store.
20. No matter how much they may deny it, every once in a while I see my kiddos do something that is so obviously "something they got from me" and I experience what can only be described as a mortified mama moment. Exhibit B: horribly irreverent captions drawn on a church program.
Alright. Enough about me. Guess what?
When I was at Target the other day, I found another Hello stamp.

Manny Ramirez has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and will be suspended 50 games starting today, The Times has learned.Well, shit. SoSH says Gammons saying not steroids, but a prescription from his doctor that he was told was not banned by MLB (tic tacs?). We shall see.
The test result and suspension is expected to be announced later today.
The suspension will cost Ramirez $7.7 million, or roughly 31% of his $25-million salary. Players in violation of baseball's drug policy are not paid during suspensions.
Ramirez is expected to attribute the test results to medication received from a doctor for a personal medical issue, according to a source familiar with matter but not authorized to speak publicly. ...
Ramirez would become the biggest star suspended under an oft-criticized major league testing program that started in 2003. He had been a model citizen since arriving in Los Angeles last August, following a stormy tenure with the Boston Red Sox. ...

The story broke about 20 minutes ago, so I'll wait and listen to what he has to say. And I'll wait to learn what drugs were found.
If true, it would suck, because it would be highly unlikely it was something he started doing in August 2008.
But, as I believe I have shown numerous times, I have never been on a moral crusade against steroids and/or other drugs. My postings have generally been to laugh at Fat Billy.
And I have never said the Red Sox were clean. That would be insane. Players of every level have been caught: hitters, pitchers, stars, scrubs ... everyone.

Even if it's something he didn't know about, the question is the same: why would an athlete who takes all this great care of their body put something in there without knowing what it is?
- May 7, 2009 at 9:17 AM
- allan said...
In saying I don't much care which players are/were using, I'm assuming I have been fairly consistent in my comments about that for the last 5+ years. (Maybe someone will show that somewhere I acted like Dick Young, but I doubt it.)
I'll laugh and post about Yankees who get caught because I'm hard-wired that way. No other reason. Fat Billy and Slappy McBitchtits still belong in the Hall of Fame.

I wasn't offended. Just trying to quickly explain. (I have to drive to Buffalo and pick up L in about 10 minutes.) "Man crush" bothered me, but only because of the "man" part, as we have discussed!
This initial report says Manny was told whatever he took was okay to take. So I'd say he knew what it was.

Okay, then, why would you take something on the banned list? The point is, how could any of these guys get caught?

Ho lee shit.No kidding - I guess we have to wait to see what the full story is. I admit that I have a full-on "man crush" of Manny - no matter what, he's still a big part of Sox history.

Gammons is saying not steroids? That matches what SI is saying ("banned substance" and not "steroids"), so we'll see if that sticks.
I hope it's a prescription from a doctor because otherwise I'm going to be really upset.
- May 7, 2009 at 10:03 AM

I don't really believe these guys anymore when they say it was a doctor's prescription that they thought was OK ... or they thought it was a vitamin B12 shot their teammate was giving them ... or that somehow they ate their twin in the womb (OK, that was cycling). They have come up with every excuse in the book.

Steph asked me if I heard that manny took sex enhancing drugs???? She reads up on all that gossip shit.
There's no way that THATS what he took...anyone else hear anything about that?
I'm assuming that she sadly mistook "performance enhancing" to automatically mean "sex" somehow???

"Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons. I want to apologize to [Dodgers owner Frank] McCourt, Mrs. McCourt, [manager Joe] Torre, my teammates, the Dodger organization, and to the Dodger fans. LA is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation."

The reports are that it was some kind of female fertility drug called HGC that bodybuilders take when coming off a steroid cycle.
If true, that's pretty damning. Why would Manny be taking a female fertility drug?
- May 7, 2009 at 2:33 PM
- Pepe Lepew said...
Oops, it's actually called HCG:
In the world of performance enhancing drugs, hCG is increasingly used in combination with various anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) cycles. It is included in some sports' illegal drug lists.
When AAS are put into a male body, the body's natural negative-feedback loops cause the body to shut down its own production of testosterone via shutdown of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPGA).
In males, hCG mimics LH and helps restore and maintain testosterone production in the testes. As such, hCG is commonly used during and after steroid cycles to maintain and restore testicular size as well as endogenous testosterone production. However, if hCG is used for too long and in too high a dose, the resulting rise in natural testosterone will eventually inhibit its own production via negative feedback on the hypothalamus and pituitary.

Looks like it's a women's fertility drug that is sometimes perscribed for male weight loss. It has a use within the steroid-user community: when coming off a steroid cycle, the body doesn't produce enough of its own testosterone (which is sort of why testicles shrink) and steroid users use this drug to kick start testosterone production in the body. Apparently it gets used after HGH cycles. The test where he tested positive was during Spring Training apparently.
I don't know how long this would stay in one's body, but it makes me wonder about the trouble getting his contract worked out this offseason and his late arrival to Spring training. I'll happily admit that's total conjecture and bordering on MUMS.
He says that the drug was for a "personal health problem" and that he checked the substance against an older, non-current list of banned substances, from which it was absent. Apparently the substance wasn't banned until recently.

From ESPN:
"... testing by Major League Baseball showed that Ramirez had testosterone in his body that was not natural and came from an artificial source ...
The sources said that in addition to the artificial testosterone, Ramirez was identified as using the female fertility drug human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG. ...
ESPN reported earlier that testing showed Ramirez had used hCG, which is typically used by steroid users to restart their bodies' natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO. ...
Ramirez's case was set off when a test in spring training revealed he had elevated levels of testosterone in his body. MLB followed up with a more comprehensive test that confirmed the testosterone had to come from an artificial source, the sources said.
While investigating, MLB obtained documents that indicated Ramirez's use of hCG, and it was those documents that formally were used to hand down the 50-game suspension."

I've just got this to say--it looks mighty suspicious, but nobody with a swing that beautiful can be that evil. I may just be a Manny apologist, but I believe him when I didn't Roger or A-Rod.

1. Definitely will not change 04 or 07 (as previously mentioned)
2. I'm just glad he didn't get suspended for 50 games while on the Red Sox - that would've sucked!

Like what? What could he do that would stick it to the Red Sox?
If you mean naming other players who are using, that's not Manny's fault - if you're going to use, you run that risk. But maybe you mean something else.

A report released April 30 by Cogent Research identified major trends among plan sponsors. Linda York, director of syndicated research for Cogent and lead author of the Retirement Planscape, described some of the results in a webinar.
"In an increasingly complex legislative environment, it's no surprise that compliance and regulation dominates plan sponsors' focus for the upcoming year," York said. Nearly 60% of respondents said ensuring their plan is in compliance was one of their top three priorities, and 27% said it was their No. 1 priority.
Reducing plan costs was another major priority for plan sponsors, with 46% saying it was in their top three objectives, and 19% saying it was their main area of focus. "Perhaps as an effect of the fee disclosure regulations enacted in 2012, nearly half of all plan sponsors said they will focus on reducing plan costs this year," York said.
About a third of sponsors said they anticipated re-evaluating their investment menu this year, but York noted relationships with recordkeepers appeared "fairly secure," as just 17% of respondents said they were thinking about changing their plan provider. Just 6% said they would definitely switch in the next year. However, "The proportion of those on the fence about switching has increased over the last two years," York said. The most commonly cited reasons for considering a switch are administrative fees and service quality.
York said this year's survey asked for the first time whether plan sponsors prefer a bundled model, where the recordkeeping and investment management of a plan are conducted by the same provider, or an unbundled model. "The bundled model, which by definition requires the least amount of additional coordination and support, is the preference for the majority of plan sponsors, particularly those in the smaller plan size segments," she said.
Over half of respondents in each market group said they preferred a bundled model. However, preference flipped for the mega plan market, where 52% preferred an unbundled model. "This could very well be a reflection of the larger proportion of these plans that choose consulting firms as their plan provider," York noted.
The use of automatic features, including automatic enrollment, rebalancing and escalation, has remained steady over the past three years, York said, with automatic enrollment being the most common. Still, 40% of plan sponsors offer no automatic features at all, and just 4% offer all three.
"It appears the industry has fallen into a state of complacency in its efforts to help individuals save for retirement," York said. "This is a bit discouraging, particularly given that a study Cogent released in 2012 found that more than two-thirds of plan participants are open to more automatic features that help them with their retirement goals."
York told AdvisorOne on Monday that large and mega plans have "gotten the message" about automatic features and are more comfortable integrating those features into their plans. Smaller plans have been more hesitant for several possible reasons: their work force may be different or they may only have a few workers or a lot of seasonal workers, she suggested.
One of the goals of the fee disclosure legislation enacted last year, York said in the webinar, was to give sponsors the ability to benchmark their fees against those in similar plans, but "there's a little more work to be done." Just 40% of sponsors said they were confident their fees were comparable to their peers, and under half are "taking a do-nothing approach" and maintaining their fee arrangement.
The report found that providers with the strongest brand had a high level of likeability and awareness in the industry, and were able to differentiate their brand well. Fidelity and Vanguard led the top 10 firms based on brand equity, maintaining their top spots over the past three years. Charles Schwab has risen over time from No. 8 in 2011 to the third spot.
Overall awareness in the industry is trending down, according to York, as more mini-micro firms with less than $1 million in plan assets enter the industry. "These plans are not only relatively new to the DC world, but they're also more likely to rely on the expertise of a financial advisor, and as such have a relatively limited knowledge of the broader options available to them," York said.
Overall client satisfaction is relatively high, York said, but she noted that there were dramatic differences in satisfaction levels on specific aspects of a plan. Mid and large plan sponsors reported the highest levels of satisfaction, especially regarding service and problem resolution, while small and micro plans reported the lowest satisfaction levels, primarily surrounding fees.
"Small and micro plans are more apt to be working with advisors," York told AdvisorOne. "Micro plans are less satisfied than small and mid plans. This may be because they're needier, if you will, or it may be that their expectations are ill-informed."
The Retirement Planscape report surveyed more than 1,500 plan sponsors in March from the micro, small, midsize, large and mega plan markets. Micro plans, those with less than $5 million in plan assets, represent the largest segment of the market due to the "sheer number of small businesses offering these plans compared with more established or larger organizations," York said.
