In the State of Washington all adoptions are filed in the Superior Courts. It is strongly recommended that potential adopters hire an attorney but they can choose to act pro se (meaning represent themselves) in this type of matter. Unlike most other family law matters there are no state wide standard forms available and the Superior Court Clerks Office does not carry any pre-made packets for this. Furthermore, our Court Facilitators do not have any training in or knowledge of this type of case. The filing fee is $260.
Once an adoption is finalized it is treated like a sealed case. The Clerk's office will not answer any questions or provide any copies of the case except by court order. If you need to access your adoption case you will need to fill out the form below and drop it off with the court. The request will be taken before the presiding Judge for review. There is no fee to drop it off.
Please be aware that this document will need to be notarized.

This week I’ve decided to share some of my past logo’s I’ve used for silvercrossfox. Well, most I used in place of a logo but are actually stand alone artwork. They were placements for a logo until I designed the one I’m currently using. (But, I am using a background for my fox logo on this blog).
This was the first one I used with my website (which is currently under construction so I’ll add a post with the link to it when it is live again). When I first did my website I did not have a logo, but I did have this illustration of a wild silver fox. Since I use silvercrossfox as my name on the web, this guy was a nice placeholder. And he is good on his own.
This one was used for a school project where I played around with my websites design. I used this one for a little while, the shortest of all them.
This one was my next main one I used. This one was simplified, done in illustrator. But, it was still too detailed to really be a logo. I used this one for a good amount of time. I prefer it as a stand alone illustration.
That last one lead me to make this one, a more official logo with text. I can’t quite remember whether I made this one before the sitting one I’m currently using or not. I wanted to have this moving one, but ultimately decided on the sitting one as that one I liked more. Plus, it works better as an avatar on many sites (where it fits better into a square). I am still using this fox as a bullet point on my website here and there… so, it didn’t get completely discarded.
This one is really just for the fun of it. I’m currently using it as my youtube logo and deviantID on deviantArt.
Thank you. Yeah, I used the detailed illustrator one on DeviantART and my website for a year or so.
Your work is astounding! You are very talented!!! I like all the logos but the last one is definitively my favorite! Looking forward to see more of your designs!
Fascinating blog to say the least. The quality of your work is indeed amazing. I’d like to know more about the process you go through with your work and getting it digitized. I like the very pleasing tones of this site’s template by the way. It seems totally appropriate for the subject matter. Not sure which logo I prefer but they all seem appropriate. Wow, nice stuff.
Oh, second suggestion. You might consider modifying your tag line (Just another WordPress.com site). It seems – too me – inappropriate to the quality of the site.

The table is done. I think. Yes, it's done. For now.
As I told you last Friday I painted the table with Annie Sloan chalk paint in French Linen. This is a pretty greige color.
I added chalk paint in the color Graphite to these crevices. I purposely did it messy.
Instead of using just clear wax or dark wax I mixed some of the Graphite chalk paint with some clear wax. I love the way it gave the paint color more depth and filled in the worm holes with the black color.
Here it is sitting between my two new chairs. Please excuse the cord. I hate cords.
Now you see why I painted the table. As you can see I have new chairs and I am loving the new look.
They are the Kooboo wicker chairs from World Market.
I was going to have the two old chairs either upholstered again or have slipcovers made, but I didn't want to spend that much money on them again. For now I will use these in here until I find some comfy club chairs at an affordable price. I have used the other chairs for a gazillion years and it was just time for a change. They will be going to a consignment shop.
I took my grain sacks and wrapped them around the white cushions for now.
When I find more chairs I can move these to the dining room since they are made to sit at a table. They sit very high.

Sandy's blog profile is not public so I couldn't find the blog. Hopefully Sandy will see this and claim her prize. If not I will choose another winner tomorrow.
Have a super day. I am going out to lunch and shopping with my mom and sister to celebrate my mom's birthday that was on 2/25.
Your table looks lovely in that new colour.
Love both looks so it's hard to choose. I do like the table better though ... and that green lamp ... Yum!
I love, love, love the color of your table! The gray looks great with your new chairs! Perfection!
It blends in much nicer now Kim! Good decision. Hope your week is going well!
I am in TRUE LOVE with these chairs. I also have a couple club chairs and ottoman that have seen better days. While I can't replace them right now, I just ordered a couple white slipcovers and holding my breath that they work. If not, I may ck out our World Market, too.
OOO, and meant to say I love that new color on your adorable table. It looks fantastic.
Have fun with your mom and sis and happy belated birthday to your mother.
Love the color and Happy Birthday to your Mother.
Love that fresh new look! the color on your table is just perfect with the new seating. really pretty, Kim!
Love, love, love the kubu chairs!! They look wonderful in your sun room! It's been so fun watching your rooms evolve. I just love the way the room looks now. So fresh and pretty! Must be a heavenly room to spend time in!!
Love the new chairs, and the table is a perfect fit. World Market is awesome. I see a stop there in my future very soon!
I love it! Easy on the eyes! Perfect!
Our World Market closed two years ago and I don't think there are any others in the Minneapolis area. I miss it.
And the chairs - love that color especially with the table. I have some wickery rattan in my porch and it's just a pine color. I wonder what would happen if I did a wash of a couple colors this spring.... add it to the list!
Your new chairs do look very sun porch-ish and go so well with the matchstick blinds. They are very fresh looking. I love the paint on the table and how you used the paint IN the wax...great idea. Thanks for sharing!
The table turned out wonderful and I love your new chairs....They will look great in your dining room too!
Love the new paint colour on the table it is such a nice table & height! The new chairs are perfect love the colour of them too!
Love the colors on the table! Also love wicker chairs in a sunroom.
I love your new chairs! I had seen them online and had considered them for head chairs at my dining room table, but I dint know if they would be comfortable. So, what do you think? I definitely love the way they look and I love them with your redone table! I think if I ever came to your house you wouldn't be able to pry me from this room!
The table is perfect. Love the colour.
great chairs. my friend has them in her kitchen and said they are so comfortable. I have been thinking about them too... they look great.. your entire sunroom is fantastic!
I love the new look with the rattan chairs. It seems these days I'm looking everything rattan! Happy Birthday to your mom!
I am totally loving those chairs. Hmmmm, where could I put two in our place?
Love Koo Boo in your room. I wondered about the slipcovers~but this looks nice Kim!
Love the chairs Kim and I know how you feel when you just get tired of something. Love how you painted the tabel too!
Love that paint color and the finishing you did. Great choice.
Sooo viele schöne Dinge gibt es bei Dir zusehen. Ich habe Dich eben beim Stöbern gefunden und freu mich wieder eine Kreative im Bloggerland entdeckt zu haben. Gerne guck ich wieder bei Dir rein. Vielleicht klickst Du mal rüber, ich würd mich freuen.
I've loved those chairs ever since I first saw them on Joni's blog...every time I go into WM I try to figure out where I can use them at home!
Kim the table looks great and I LOVE the new chairs! Boy we must be joined at the hip because I was just looking online at the same ones and thinking of getting one for my family room. Love love the new look! Hope you had a great lunch, my mom's birthday is Feb.3 are you sure we're not related LOL!
Love, love, love!! It's perfect.
Love the look. Very fresh. Less "grandma". You are a wizard with the ASP. I am amazed at the combinations you try.
Seriously.....I love Kooboo chairs! I have looked at those over and over again....brilliant! They are perfect with your new table!
i love your grain sack seat covers! i have the same chairs, you've given me an idea, thanks!
Changing the color of your table was a really good idea Kim! It blends so well with your room!
Hi Kim, What a change painting your sweet table makes in the room, especially with your new chairs. Love the new look!
Super pretty with the gray wicker. Looks so inviting.
Love the table with the chairs. You can edit out the cords but it takes time you probably do not have.
I think it looks wonderful as always! I love the worm holes in the table and the new lamp.
Mucho bettah! I like it.
Your table looks sooo good. Love the color and the graphite paint really shows the detail.
Love the table Kim. It looks so pretty in between the two wonderful chairs. This is such a great room.
Everything looks so pretty, Kim. I love those new chairs. Your old ones will find a good home!
Your old look was fine with me but I LOVE the new look! Isn't it amazing what a little paint can do!
What a pretty little curvy table with that great green lamp on top!
The table turned out great. Your colors blend very nicely together in now. I bet you'll enjoy this lighter color palette this summer even more!
I love the after. The table looks amazing and the chairs look great with your grain sacks added. Have a great weekend, Kim!
There's nothing better than a fabulous before & after! WOW!
Your table and new chairs are fabulous!!
The new chairs add texture to the room. Love the grain sacks on the seat. The olive jar is wonderful - love to collect items like that.
Kim...I love the way it turned out...I am so anxious to start on my painting projects...need to find the time!..I so love your red carpet...Did you get it on Shades of Light?
I love the new chairs - though I loved the old ones too! I basically LOVE your sunroom and everything in there! lol! We had a sun room at our previous house- it was on the wrong side of the house to get much sun- but I did love sitting in there with all those windows!!
I love the new color! Awesome!!!
those chairs are great and I love that you mixed paint and wax, I wanna try now! Thanks!
2 words...love them. They add so much texture!
I want some of those Kooboo chairs and have been looking for them. I have seen them on the World Market website but we don't have one here and they don't ship. I wish I'd ordered some when I imported furniture...probably could've gotten them for next to nothing! I just LOVE them! They look perfect in your space!
p/s I love your new (antique) olive jar in your recent post! They are so beautiful!

The Premier Division title is within Buckhurst Hill’s grasp after they were finally able to overcome a stubborn Leigh Ramblers who perhaps deserved at least a point for their endeavours. Sam Sollosi and Steve Townsend scored the Buckhurst Hill goals, cancelling out Andrew Webster’s strike for the visitors, with the win now meaning they need just one more win from their final six games and the title will be in the bag. The leaders were helped in their quest by Harold Wood Athletic who beat Kelvedon Hatch 1-0 courtesy of a Rob Whitnell goal. The win moves Harold Wood up to second but seeing as they have now played all their fixtures means they can have no further say in the title. Kelvedon Hatch however are now down in third and needed the points to keep their name in the frame. Mathematically Kelvedon can still be crowned champions if they win all their remaining five, Buckhurst Hill go on and lose all their remaining six, with the goal difference sorted out via some heavy wins. It really is a tough ask and it will be all sorted shortly. As it stands at the moment though it is Buckhurst Hill’s title to lose. Catholic United are finishing the season strongly. Having started their defence of the Premier Division title with a string of defeats, the defending champions found winning form as the season went on and they beat Bishop’s Stortford Swifts 6-2 on Saturday. Tom Hollingsworth (2), Aaron Balwin (2), Jamie Salmon and Max Kent were the marksmen and the win now sees Catholic United fourth. Gavin Cockman and Ashley Taylor-Forbes were the Swifts scorers and they are now fifth. Damien Siemienczuk and Jack Long were the Rayleigh Town scorers in a 2-2 draw with Springfield. Old Southendian and Sungate meanwhile also shared a point as their game ended goalless.
Shenfield AFC are on the verge of lifting the Division One title after a 5-1 win over promotion-chasing Basildon Town. George Cunningham and James Bigmore fired the leaders into a 2-0 half time lead with further goals coming from Mitch Day, who scored twice, and Harry Hatt. Jamie Miller scored the Basildon goal, who now need to win all their remaining six games if they want to land the title or gain promotion. FC Hamlets are also in the promotion hunt are fourth after a 6-0 win over Herongate Athletic. John Gilroy’s hat-trick was added to by Aaron Glasgow, Ashley King and Charlie Heatly. Old Chelmsfordians beat Galleywood 1-0 thanks to a Sam Adams goal. Ben Polley meanwhile scored twice from the penalty spot to help Ongar Town beat Rayleigh Town Res. 2-1. Ryan Cushway scored for the visitors.
Chingford Athletic beat local rivals Ryan 7-0 on Saturday which keeps their promotion hopes alive. Jack Yates scored a hat-trick with Alex Gordon also notching twice; Luke Dimond and Jonny Hirst supplied a goal apiece and Chingford now sit fourth but have three games left to play. Runwell Sports are second and now can’t win the Division Two title after they could only draw 3-3 with May & Baker E.C. ‘A’. Sports needed to win that one, but now have to get ready for next weekend as they visit fellow promotion-chasers Chingford Athletic.
Laindon Orient are top of the table after they beat Basildon Town Res. 7-0 with goals coming via Sam Lake (2), Jason Warner, Michael Agba, Jasper Read, Rodney Wilson and Henry Ballard. However Laindon have now completed their fixtures and have to sit it out. Meanwhile Old Southendian Res. are second after a 5-2 win over fellow promotion-chasers Wakering Sports. Tom Judge and Dave Stubbs scored twice apiece, Olive Tatton-Bennett also notching. Westhamians are down to third after they were held to a goalless draw by Leigh Town. Westhamians started the day as leaders, but have two games left to play as well as having an Essex Junior Cup Final appearance to look forward to in midweek.
Ramsden Scotia v May & Baker E.C. Res.

Edward Merrall and his wife Jane arrived in Preston some time between 1852 and 1858. They had married in Perth 1852 and moved to Preston where they had a daughter Ellen Elizabeth born in 1858. Other children included Edward William Merrall born in 1862 and Harriet (date unknown).
Merrall was a wheelwright and he established his business on High Street Preston, on or about Gower Street. He not only worked as a wheelwright but also suplemented his income proving grazing in paddocks adjacent to his property. In April 1867 Merrall was declared insolvent after being hit with illness, the death of his horses and lack of business. He had liabilities of £67 and a mere £8 of assets. With a young family to support, life must have been grim for the Merrall family.
"a house situated at High and Gower streets, Preston, containing six rooms, exclusive of those required for the use of the family."
It is not stated which corner of the hotel was located on.
In 1871 Merrall applied for a licence to sell colonial wines from his premises, an application which appears to have been suceesful.
Between 1872 and 1877 the directories indicated that Merrall was again working as a wheelwright with no indication that the Forester's Arms was still operating.
In was in May 1877 Merrall died, aged only 46. After his death his wife Jane sought an extension of the wine licence for the hotel which indicates that after Merrall resumed wheelwrighting she had been may have been running the hotel.
In May 1878 the coroner, Mr Chandler, conducted an inquest at the hotel into the death of Mr Septimus Hodson. The sixty year old Hodson, a resident of Preston for over twenty-four years and known locally as the "old Mayor." was found dead in his bed. Dr. Eccles, conducting the autopsy, noted that he was a "convivial" man and prone to intemperance.
The same month Jane Merrall passed away. She was 44.
There is no record of the hotel continuing past her death, however from 1879 to 1880 John Edwards ran a wine shop in Preston and that may have been a continuation of the hotel.
A month after Jane's death, her daughter Ellen Elizabeth Edmonds (nee Merrall) sought probate on her mother's estate which was valued at £150 of goods and stock in trade.

The Russian spiral is a beautiful stitch that's fun to play with. I couldn't stop with just one color palette – I had to make two!
It's fun to try the Russian spiral stitch in different color ways to see what kind of looks you can come up with. Cheri tried the stitch in both blue and orange colors to show how different the stitch looks when you switch up the colors. You can also switch up your bead shapes to create even more variation within the stitch. Learn how to do the Russian spiral stitch and see more design inspiration in this Artbeads Cafe episode.

Global warming: a trojan horse of modernity? | Climate Etc.
This article provides some interesting insights into the scientific and public debate on climate change. Particularly memorable are ‘anthropowarmist’ and ‘trojan horse.’ We have often discussed taxonomies of actors in the climate debate; for characterizing those on the ‘warm’ side of the debate, i think ‘anthropowarmist’ is the best I’ve seen.
Social science tells us that disagreement among citizens can ultimately produce good outcomes. But modern societies also need to learn how to express disagreement without the substance of the debate being drowned out by yelling and screaming – especially in science. Until we get to that point, Popular Science might just have made the right decision in putting a hold on online commenting and giving all of us a chance to debate this issue a bit more carefully.
The idea that many Australians – including our new PM and my distant cousin Nick Minchin – believe that the science of anthropogenic global is controversial, is a powerful indicator of the extent of our failure to communicate.
Re: Social science tells us that disagreement among citizens can ultimately produce good outcomes.
In my opinion, the reason PopSi (and other media sources) shut down online commenting is because the online skeptics were scoring points.

Bow is a residential area in east London that is 4.6 miles away from the central hub of Charing Cross. Part of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, it encompasses the E3 and E14 postcode districts and is in zone 2 of London’s transport area. Served by two tube stops on the DLR, District and Hammersmith and City Lines, it is well-connected to the central areas and is close to Bromley-by-Bow, Old Ford, Mile End, West Ham and Stepney Green. Firmly part of London’s East End, it has property prices that are below the London average. But following some redevelopments it is now thought to be growing in popularity. The residential districts here include a mix of old high-rise council flats and attractive Victorian terraces which can offer relatively good value for money for city professionals. Despite having a number of shops, bars and restaurants, it is the traditional East End market on Roman Street which is well-known here and is a great place to bag a few bargains. Other interesting sights in and around the area include St Mary’s Church, Mile End Park and Victoria Park.

A bagpiper leads new students into Memorial Chapel for the Convocation ceremony.
New students gather at the Fire Ring to listen to U of R ghost stories.
Dawit Aklilu ’20 opened with a story about the haunting of Prospect Park, followed by Meg Leach ’18, who told a tale about an insane asylum that, she insisted, today results in a strange phenomenon involving cars, baby powder, and handprints. Emily Grosskopf ’20 set the scene of a lonely ghost named Andy who dwells in the basement of Anderson Hall.
Cristina Gomez ’20 talked about her ghostly experiences while living in Merriam Hall and shared an account of hauntings in the Fine Arts Building. “It’s a well-known fact among music students that it’s a bad idea to be there after a certain time at night,” she said.
Throughout the evening, upperclassmen egged the storytellers on with exclamations of “It’s true!” and first-year students showed their appreciation with gasps, screams, and bursts of applause.
Ghost Stories concluded with a walk over to the Hall of Letters for a game of Sardines, in which I did not partake—I know better than to go in there at night.
Other not-so-spooky New Student Orientation Week activities included Pajama Jammy Jam, a pajama dance party, and Playfair, an interactive program that allowed new students to meet one another and begin forming friendships.
A giant game of rock-paper-scissors and other icebreakers are highlights of Playfair in the Orton Center.
Och Tamale Comedy Hour introduced new students to the services available to them on campus and featured the “PSafe Song” sung to the tune of “We Will Rock You,” a gameshow skit about finding love while avoiding STIs, and other skits about substance use and consent. There was also a guest appearance from Thurber.
Och Tamale Comedy Hour, directed by Noah Sylvester '18, features Bulldog talent to entertain and educate.
I haven’t walked past the Fairmont Rock recently, but I heard that the Johnston students may have staged a glitter and spray paint attack, despite any attempts from Fairmont Hall residents to protect it. If the Rock is looking extra colorful, it’s probably safe to say that these attacks aren’t just a myth.
On Friday, new students attended interest meetings about the academic programs available to them on campus, and Saturday was spent registering for classes.
Tuesday is the big day! Good luck to the new students, and, for returning Bulldogs—welcome back. Let’s make it a great year.

1998 was a truly memorable year for football. Manchester United had completed an illustrious treble winning season (curse them), the wonder and eccentricity of a World Cup was sweeping the nation and Michael Owen announced his presence on the world’s stage with THAT goal against Argentina. Consequently, the hunger for the beautiful game was at an all time, insatiable high. It wasn’t enough to just watch the games, we wanted to re-enact them for ourselves. Cue International Superstar Soccer Pro 98, the definitive football game of 1998.
Although ISS Pro 98 was dominated in the sales department by its more flamboyant, yet shallow rival FIFA 98′ Road to the World Cup, ISS Pro 98 was leagues apart in regards to gameplay.
Although ISS Pro 98 was dominated in the sales department by its more flamboyant, yet shallow rival FIFA 98′ Road to the World Cup, ISS Pro 98 was leagues apart in regards to gameplay. The end-to-end action was fast, fluid and exciting; an unbeatable combination for a modern day football game.
The simplistic menus and arcade-like sound effects exuded charm and the player models were surprisingly detailed. Even Tony Gubba’s commentary, though slightly robotic in its delivery in comparison to FIFA’s more established voice overs, produced unintentionally humorous moments with his classic, erratic one-liners.
Remarkably, the Japanese developer Konami – a company more known for their arcade exploits – had captured the essence of the beautiful game with their wonderful, vibrant representation. The unexpected brilliance of ISS Pro 98 finally offered some worthwhile competition and a more simulation focused experience, instead of the once monopolistic dominance of the FIFA series.
The presence of Germany’s Bierhoff would instil fear into any defence.
In all honesty, the game cover should have been enough to convince any football fan into an impulse purchase. Where else could you find the likes of Fabrizio Ravanelli and Paul Ince locked in an intense, confrontational stare down, accompanied by a flaming logo of awesomeness? Without question, this is how all football game covers should look. Period.
Like most infatuated fans, I can vividly remember England’s 1998 international side as if it was yesterday. The safe hands of ‘Seamon’, protected by the impregnable back line of ‘Adems’, ‘Cambell’, ‘Southgote’ and a young ‘G.Nevalle’. The creative yet combative midfield of ‘Inse’, ‘Scoles’, ‘Backham’ and ‘MaCmarn’ dominated the flow of the game, whilst numerous chances would be created for the deadly strike force of ‘Oren’ and ‘Sheallor’. To sure up the midfield, ‘Betty’ would break up the play if required, whilst the super sub ‘Shereng’ eagerly awaited his chance to grab that all important goal against the run of play.
Yes, ISS Pro 98 was unfortunately hampered by the absence of a FIFPro licence. The names of famous footballers were subsequently replaced with whimsical nonsense, an element which, in all honesty, added to the brilliance of the title. For the purists, this was nothing more than a minor inconvenience as an edit mode was available allowing fans the option to tinker and change to their heart’s content. Though why anyone would want to change ‘Betty’ back to the boring original ‘Batty’ is beyond me.
With 52 national teams to choose from, practically every popular footballing nation was covered. Each country had their own unique stats with the likes of Brazil towering over the lesser nations such as South Korea. But unlike the majority of sports games, where players would simply rush towards the best teams, the player moral system gave underdogs a fighting chance, resulting in some brilliant giant killing moments.
The goalkeepers would frequently produce astonishing saves.
Upon choosing the line-up, players’ morale was shown through a variety of animated faces. If your player’s face was grey and sad looking, then your once deadly striker’s stats would be dramatically reduced to reflect his mood. In contrast, a wide-eyed, grinning red face guaranteed that your player would be at the top of his game. Perhaps inadvertently, the moral system would encourage players to delve into their substitutes, merely than relying on the best players match after match. If you decided to leave your back line littered with grey and blue faces, it was at your peril. Players were also granted an array of changeable tactics and formations, a glorious time before the dreary 4-5-1 formation infested the game. 3-5-2 is a guaranteed World Cup winning formation if you ask me.
ISS Pro 98 offered plenty of value, with an Exhibition mode, League mode (16 international teams participate in a league and play either a full or half season), Cup Mode (an unofficial version of the FIFA World Cup format, with Asian, South American and European Cup formats), All Star match (a match between a select World eleven and European eleven), Penalty Kick mode and the always welcomed, Training mode.
A booking could often be predicted by the distinct change in crowd noise after a foul.
When a PlayStation multi-tap was introduced, players were able to unlock the ability of four-player multiplayer. Blessed with terrific AI, ISS Pro 98 was an entertaining single-player game in itself, however, the on-pitch battles that would ensue with four human-controlled players added a new dimension to proceedings. The satisfaction of scoring a goal was significantly increased, with each goal feeling genuinely unique.
Accompanying the celebratory moments of joy was the best replay music ever heard in a sports game, a statement which holds true today. A squeal from what could only be described as an angry thundercat joined a Japanese electro pop ensemble, making your fantastic strikes resonate even louder.
Unlike the more simulation focused football games of today, ISS Pro 98 encourages attacking football, long ranged efforts and fast-paced action. The end result is a thoroughly enjoyable game, even by today’s standards; a testament to the game’s fun, back and forth gameplay.

Following on from their Christmas craft book, the team at Mollie Makes have put together a book of bird-themed crafts: Mollie Makes: Feathered Friends.
I was delighted to be asked to contribute a couple of felt projects to this book - I'm really looking forward to showing you a sneak peek of them when the book comes out in a few weeks time.
Mollie Makes: Feathered Friends will be published here in the UK by Collins & Brown on 6th June. It'll be available direct from Collins & Brown at Love Crafts, or you can pre-order it from Amazon UK.
For those of you outside the UK... the US edition (published by Interweave) is available for pre-order from Amazon USA (though the publication date in the US is a bit later this summer, I think) and I've spotted a Dutch language edition that's been published too (called Mollie Makes: Birds). Lots of birdie goodness!

I have always wanted a lemon tree but have never had one of my own. The thought of having to pay for lemons abhors me so I have only ever made lemony treats when I have been able to score a bag (or two) of them from a friend or neighbour with surplus on their trees.
When I first went to look at my new house my eyes were drawn immediately to the fully laden lemon tree in the yard. Even before seeing inside the house I was mentally flicking through lemon recipes in my head and deciding what I would make first.
This lemon loaf recipe is very similar to the Crunchy Lemon Muffin recipe but, obviously, made in a loaf tin. It is lovely as it is and especially nice when still warm. A few months ago I made a couple of these but they didn’t get eaten as quickly as I thought they would and after a few days the last of it was a bit stale. Thinking stale bread is still OK for toast, I wondered what this would be like toasted. I popped a slice in the toaster then when hot and golden, spread with butter… hot, lemony, buttery…delicious!
Try it, and let me know what you think in the comments.
Beat eggs and butter. Add lemon rind and sugar and beat until creamy.
Mix in combined dry ingredients and milk until combined, then pour into loaf tin.
Bake 45-55 minutes until cooked.
Just before taking loaf out of the oven. mix the lemon juice and sugar together. Pour syrup over the loaf immediately after removing from the oven.
Cool a while in the tin then remove. The lemon juice will have soaked into the loaf giving extra sweet lemony flavour, while any undissolved sugar will have formed a slight crust on the top of the loaf.
HIGHLY addictive! But oh, so good!
When cool, dust with icing sugar and refrigerate.
Place all ingredients in a mixer and beat until smooth. If you like a bit more tang, add a small amount of finely grated lemon rind.
These are delicious served warm or cold.
Mix flour and sugar in bowl.
Melt butter, add the milk, egg and lemon rind. Beat well with a fork to combine.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until ingredients are only just dampened. Do not over mix.
Divide the mixture between 12 greased muffin cups. Bake at 200 C for 10 minutes.
Stir together the lemon juice and sugar and drizzle over the muffin as soon as they are removed from the oven. I like to prick the top of the muffins with a toothpick so the flavour soaks in more. Leave to stand in the pans for only a few minutes as the syrup will harden and stick the muffins to the pans.

Amazing Christian musicians Tommee Profitt and McKenna Sabin join forces for an incredible rendition of 'The Heart Of Worship'. This timeless worship song always brings me joy every time I hear it.
When you listen to their breathtaking version it will move you in such a deep way. What an amazing way to worship our Lord though singing.
I am adding this one to my collection for sure!

Now, abilities aside, I believe that there is an even greater reason he doesn't get as much love from buy MaplestoryM Mesos : his mastery. Granted, he has 60% command from the very beginning, but that would be it. Other classes get 80% control, keeping their damage comparatively steady. Hayato? His harm jumps about as far as he does. There is also the issue of his assault multiplier (which is quite tough to adapt in a way that's balanced).
To outline this, Hayato's Katana is known as 2h, but includes a multiplier more indicative of a 1h weapon. 2h swords/axes/maces have a overall multiplier of 1.34, and spears/polearms have 1.49. With the above in mind, what, praytell, do you guys think would equilibrium Hayato out?
I'm totally lost. I've hit level ten, but things started going wrong almost immediately. So I've got a few concerns. I accidentally put a point into STR, believing there was an"Apply Changes" Button and then that I could pull it out. And I have no idea how to get it back.
Also, in the skills section of this build, it says to place points into Improving Max MP Increase and Improving MP Recovery, although no abilities have those titles. I apologize for not knowing anything, but I truly don't need to mess up my own first character. I'm sort of panicking, if it wasn't clear.Once you put AP to a stat, you cannot get it back unless you have an AP reset scroll however, you ought to purchase it in the 10th Anniversary Coin Shop costing 160 coins. This late in the game, I would not say impossible but Know More Ckick Here would be quite difficult.

To decrease extra and not required workloads on a small workforce, small businesses and/or start-up companies are investigating various methods to concentrate their workforce focus on their core business activities. An easy and very effective method of making business processes more efficient is to outsource payroll functions to a team of professionals who will handle the work faster easier and better than having an entire in house payroll team.
The process of starting up a new business is difficult and time consuming. Taking care of the payroll activities on top of all this, when you are trying to stabilize your growth and show a profit at the end of the fiscal period is difficult as it involves both state and federal laws, insurance matters and other problems. Outsourcing allows your HR department to concentrate on other important matters like proper hiring and firing of employees.
When you consider the cost of hiring professionals and computer machines, buying or leasing specialized software for the computing of payroll matters, dealing with disgruntled employees, keeping on top of legislation that is designed to be confusing and complex and maintaining an entire department just to deal with these issues,outsourcing payroll systems seems very attractive economically and efficiency wise.
A professional payroll outsourcing company employs a large number of professionals that provide dependable round the clock service. It is much better than employing a few people who are probably not highly trained and are prone to make mistakes. A payrolloutsourcing company never sleeps, provides much better value for money and gives efficient service whenever called for. It gives you one less thing to worry about and allows you to concentrate on things that matter like expanding your company.
Making even a small mistake in payroll calculations can attract heavy penalties from local state and federal courts. Insurance legislation changes almost daily and is very difficult to keep abreast of. A payroll outsourcing company however employs professionals that are trained specifically to avoid mistakes of this type thereby making the process of payroll disbursement easy and hassle free. It also makes your companies secure against damage seeking litigation that means you save on both lawyer’s bills and charges in court if the case goes against you.
Payroll outsourcing companies not only take care of sending cheques on time and in accordance with laws to your employees but also offer direct deposit services, increased security and ease of service. Payroll cheques are deposited directly in the bank account of the employee by the company thereby preventing loss in transit and mismatching and misplacement of funds. Computer records being accurate, payroll management is almost error free. Payroll outsourcing providers also sometimes offer according to the business contract, credit cards at easy and convenient packages at no extra cost to thecompany.
Payroll outsourcing is the most important factors if you are going to run a start-up company to avoid extra efforts, investment, staffs etc. By outsourcing your business payroll you are able to concentrate more on your business to settle it well.
make available to a taxpayer directly.

With only six HGs remaining on Big Brother 2015, that meant everyone was playing in the Power of Veto competition for Week 11 on Big Brother 17 and this was a big one. The winner determines if the noms stay the same or we might have a new target for the week! So, who won POV for Week 11 on Big Brother 17? Check out the results below in my Big Brother 2015 spoilers!
Heading into it, we truly needed Johnny Mac, Vanessa or Steve to win it. They would, most likely, not use it and the noms would stay the same. Liz or Austin would use it to save themselves and Julia would be the most likely renom. Julia wins it and all hell breaks loose again, as she would save Liz and Steve would self-evict after having to choose a renom.
The POV is done and the winner is Austin!!!
So, what does this mean? Well, he definitely is going to save himself and then Steve has to name a renom, which should be Julia and one of the twins goes home. Hopefully they evict Liz, but not sure and who knows where things will go by Monday. At least Liz didn’t win it, as she is the one that needs to go most from the Austwins. And we have them all wearing tutus, so not sure what the comp was.
What do you think of the results for the POV on Big Brother 17?
Everyone take cover before Vanessa’s head explodes!!!!
Yeah and apparently it was like the spin bowling on BB15, where they spun around 15 times and then tried to knock down bowling pins. They got to challenge someone each round and all challenged Amanda. Well, it sounds like Vanessa is not happy with who Austin picked and the twins and her were complaining about it. He said it would make good TV though. And it sounds like Mr. Pectacular was there.
Oh god, please don’t let Mr. Pectacular make an appearance Haven’t we suffered enough!
I hope Liz or Vanessa goes home. Please Steve make a damn move in This game. Van can’t do it cause she’s useless. Now is your chance….. You and JMac to the end…….
at this point it has to be a twin to break the trio.
Yes and hopefully it’s Liz.
I just hope they never ever EVER have that twin twist again.
Mary, I told you we had a lot in common and we usually think the same way. I also won a twist contest with my first boyfriend and we won a stuffed dog with a squeaky tail. I think I must have been about 13 or 14 yrs. old. I went to a Catholic school thru 8th grade and I remember it being a party at the school. Those were the days, my friend.
LOL…i LOVE it! 4..3..2..1..KABOOM!! Vanessa’s head just exploded! Clean up in asile 3.
That really does my heart good to read!!
With these useless house guest, I feel like I’m living on an alien planet with a bunch of drone heads.
She also learned that her crown is made of crepe paper.
I’m just loving this, looks good on her hahaha!!!
Vanessa is up to something. From what I can see, she wants Liz to be mad at Austin because she wants Liz to be the twit that leaves.(She has a deal with Julia) Then the twits both hate Austin, Steve and Jmac (by extension) and then they love Vanessa, and have already talked about how they trust her. (stupid stupid) Vanessa then will have the twits votes in F2. She’s playing both sides tho, and still buddies with Austin and Steve. I think Steve might be onto her tho. I’m interested to see if that’s the end game she is /was earlier trying to pull.
are we talking about jesse?
Yea, next to him Asstin can realize what a tiny man he is!!

If you are here from our article: how to start a travel blog, you already know a thing or two about making money with your travel blog.
If you are here for the first time and doesn’t have a travel blog yet, you should not miss our article about how to start a travel blog.
If you already have a travel blog and want to learn in depth tricks about monetizing your travel blog, you are where you oughta be.
First of all, what are your expectations?
Do you want to earn $1 million in 3 years like Johnny Ward and become famous like Nomadic Matt? Or you only want to travel the world and make just enough for your nomadic lifestyle?
Well, it doesn’t matter what your future goals are. The only difference between the two is the amount of hard work you want to put into your travel life.
In either case, you should stay with me throughout this guide. I will teach you how to become the Jedi of travel blogging so that the Force will always be with you.
So, if you are ready, let’s get started!
I have divided this post into two sections: Prepare Yourself and Let’s Grab the Money. Both the sections are very important.
In the Prepare Yourself section, we will talk about how you can become the authority of the travel business while in the Let’s Grab the Money section we look into different ways of making money with a travel blog.
1. Don’t be a Professional Blogger!
DO NOT skip any of the following steps if you want to see yourself as a star of the travel industry.
Some people might say otherwise but don’t trust them. We, the team at Rara Theme, have helped many people create and sustain their website/blogs. And, trust me, we know the key to a successful blog.
And, my friend, the key is not to display too much professionalism.
Be creative in your writings. Be humorous. Be witty. People are looking for something interesting to read. When people read your travel blog, they mustn’t feel like they are reading a legal notice or some terms and conditions of a company.
Having said that, I am not suggesting you to start writing haphazardly.
There is a fine line between becoming too professional and a rookie. If you lean too much towards professionalism, you will sound boring. If you lean too much towards amateurism you might lose credibility. Identify the line and stay there.
If you are not sure, go through your writing when you are done. Did you find it engaging? Or did you find it monotonous like a textbook of Science? If the answer to the first question is “Yes” then you are on the right track. Otherwise, you need to work a little hard on your writing skill.
Don’t believe in those internet articles that say you can earn six figures annually with a blog right away. They are fake. All the “real” testimonials you read there are fake.
Earning real money with a travel blog (even with other kinds of blogs) takes time. You have to dedicate your time (also money sometimes, for advertising), just to make your presence in the online community, let alone earning a penny.
If you are committed and are ready to work hard, you will start to make money with your travel blog within a year.
Remember, the hard thing in the blog business is building your audiences. And, that requires a lot of dedication from your side. We will discuss some tricks for getting yourself loyal followers, and for expanding your network in the next few steps.
Where do you go for reliable information or news? Wikipedia? The Wall Street Journal? BBC? Why do you go to those websites? Everyone knows why! They are the authority.
Being an authority means people trust you, people take your opinion seriously.
Therefore, your aim as a beginner travel blogger should be to become the authority of the traveling business. Once you become the authority, you will have a fan base, and will eventually make more money.
And, here’s how you can become the authority and have followers. If you have read our article on how to start a travel blog, you can skip this part.
Write Quality Content: Firstly, no one will trust your blog if you have common spelling and grammatical mistakes. Secondly, if people visit your travel blog (somehow), they are never coming back to a blog with bad grammar and poor spellings.
Thus, quality content, content without any major spelling or grammatical errors, is a necessity if you want your travel blog to become the authority. However, you don’t have to be the language guru either.
You can use tools like Grammarly (even free one will do) to check your grammar and the Hemingway app to make your content easy to read.
Basically, before posting an article, you should proofread it. If there are no grammatical errors, and the article is easily comprehensible, post it.
Post Useful and Interesting Stuff: Okay. You know that you should write quality content. And, you have some tools at your disposal, to check your language. But, is that enough? No.
In addition to having error free writing, there’s another essential factor to consider.
That is, you should write useful stuff, stuff that people find helpful. For example, you could write about 5 places to visit in X country so that when someone is traveling to that X country, they will come to your blog. Or, you could write about cheap ways to travel, or you could write about problems one might face while traveling.
Also, try to do unique, thrilling activities during your travel to make sure people visit your travel blog regularly. People like to read about interesting stuff.
However, you don’t have to always be dauntless. If you have two or three posts about exciting adventures, people will think you are daring and fun; and will follow your blog. But, keep doing interesting stuff every once in a while.
If you were planning to just write your travel diaries on your travel blog, well, it’s time to face the truth. Nobody wants to read the travel diaries of a stranger. Remember, until you are the celebrity of the niche, people don’t have time to read about your personal stuff.
Social Media: According to a report by Shareaholic, social media brings in about 31% of the traffic to websites. Therefore, go and create an account on every social media platform– Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, StumbleUpon, Google+, LinkedIn and some other.
Then, create a page/profile for your travel blog. Post your travel photos, tag people, use hashtags and share interesting things on it.
Most importantly, be active on your social media. Respond to messages and comments. Make your social media page engaging. If you have extra cash to spare and want to grow followers quickly, promote your posts.
Similarly, you should also follow other famous travel bloggers on social media. See what they are doing. Engage on their posts. It’s always good to know your adversaries.
Social media is a free and easy tool for getting famous, go use it! Don’t miss any platform. Let everyone know you are in the game.
Keep Posting: Like I said earlier, be dedicated to your travel blog. Post regularly.
Don’t ever let your followers think that you have stopped traveling. It is hard to grow the audience so don’t let them slip away. Keep your followers with you by posting routinely.
You can organize your posts, manage and schedule them with an editorial calendar. If you are familiar with Google Calendar, you can easily create your editorial calendar with it. Hubspot has an easy guide on how to create an Editorial Calendar using Google Calendar. And, remember to stick to your calendar!
Write Guest Posts: Writing guests post on famous blogs/websites will help you bring in some visitors to your travel blog. Guest Posts will also help you with your branding and credibility.
Once you write few guest posts on famous websites, people will start to take you seriously. People will see you as an expert in your field. And, you will become the authority.
Also, guest posts are good for building backlinks and SEO. We will talk more about SEO later so don’t be alarmed with the word SEO and backlinks.
“Yea. Yea. I get it. Guest posts are important. But, how do I find blogs to write a guest post?” If you had that thought on your mind, that’s very good. It shows that you are still serious about your travel blog.
Follow famous blogs and contact them. Who knows, they may be looking for a guest writer.
Use your personal connections, someone in your circle might know a blogger.
Write a post on your travel blog and tell people that you are available for guest posts. You might have readers who own famous travel blogs. Remember what I said earlier? “It’s always good to know your adversaries.” Other travel bloggers might have been reading your posts.
Use social networks. Contact bloggers on their social page and ask if they are willing to offer a guest post. LinkedIn is a great networking platform that connects similar professions. Utilize it. Also, you can also use Twitter to search for guest posts. Here’s how.
Join forums and communities. Search for people who is willing to give you a guest post on their blog.
Finally, google! Use keywords like “Submit a guest post” and its variants.
BUT, be picky while asking or accepting a guest blog post. The guest post should help you and your travel blog. Therefore, you should keep the following things in mind before looking for a guest post.
The content you write as a guest writer should be related to the travel industry. For example, you do not want to be writing for an education blog, it would be a waste of your time.
The readers of the blog you are writing for should be interested in traveling.
The blog should have a good number of followers. You should also check if people really read the posts on the blog (check comments and social shares or any other signs of reader engagements).
Networking with people having a similar interest is good for business. The network can help you find guest posts, find sponsors and give you tips for success.
Thus, after you start posting on your new travel blog, you should immediately search for communities of travel bloggers and join them.
You can find lots of travel communities on the Internet. You can also search for travel groups on Facebook.
If you don’t know where to get started, join the following communities asap.
And finally, how can I miss Reddit! Reddit is a discussion-based social media platform. If you aren’t familiar with Reddit, you may get lost at first. But, after you start exploring it for few times, you will get the hang of it. You shouldn’t miss the travel community of Reddit. Click here go there.
So, now that you are dedicated, ready to write quality, interesting content, and ready to build audience and network, I will talk about SEO (SEO Engine Optimization) and how it plays an important role on your travel blog.
SEO is a technique for making websites/blogs rank higher in search engines like Google, Bing, Ask, Yahoo. If your posts and blogs are SEO ready, the chances of your travel blog coming to the top of Google search is higher. And, when your blog ranks higher in search results, you get more traffic.
So, you should write your content in such a way that Google likes it. The technique is also called SEO Copywriting. And, it is easy to learn so don’t worry. Just follow these 7 On-Page SEO tricks.
If you have already installed Yoast SEO Plugin on your blog, then you already have mastered some SEO techniques. Yoast SEO will give you SEO feedback on your content. Plus, I will also teach you some basic SEO tricks that starters should know.
Before we go to some basic SEO tricks for starters, you should first understand what Keyword is.
What is a Keyword (SEO)?
Keyword is an informative word that defines your content. Your blog post can have one or group of keywords. You can tell search engines for which keywords you want to get ranked. For example, if you are writing an article about how to travel to Asia for cheap, you would want Google to show your article when people search for “how to travel to Asia with low budget”. Therefore, your keywords should be “Asia Travel Cheap”.
You can define your keywords in the Yoast SEO plugin. I will teach you how later.
Your title tag should contain the keywords you are targeting. And, it should contain only 50-60 characters.
You should include your keyword in your URL slug. A URL slug is the URL for your post. Also, URL slug should be readable and memorable if possible.
You should have one (and only one) H1 heading. Include your primary keyword in the H1 heading.
Try to include your keywords or related keywords throughout your content but don’t overuse them.
Link to other travel articles of famous blogs when possible but, again, don’t overdo it. These links are called Outbound Links.
Use images and include your keywords in the alt attribute of the images.
Write an attractive but relevant headline.
At last, write good, long (only if it makes sense) articles with proper formatting to increase user experience. You should try to increase the engagement of users. The longer time a user spend on your article, the better chance you have to get ranked in the search engines.
If you found these tricks technical and baffling, it’s all right. Your articles can still be good at SEO because you have already installed Yoast SEO plugin on your travel blog. If you haven’t installed it yet, do it now!
Yoast SEO can be found below WordPress text editor.
Well, that is all the preparation work you need to start earning money from your travel blog.
Now let’s move to another section so that you can start making some bucks with your travel blog!
This section deals with different approaches you can take to earn money from your travel blog. So, let’s get the ball rolling!
This is the most common way for starters to earn money with a blog. You can place ads on your travel blog and get paid.
Once you have a decent number of posts on your travel blog, you can apply for Google Adsense. Google Adsense is a common method for displaying ads on your blog. Once Google approves you, you just have to copy and paste some codes on your blog, and you will start to see contextual ads on your travel blog.
Besides Google Adsense, there are other online advertising agencies that you can use to display contextual ads on your travel blog. Some of them are Media.net, Amazon Associates, Buysellads, Shareaholic. Check them out and use the one you like.
However, as a starter, you won’t earn much with the ads from these online advertising agencies. To earn plenty of money from this kind of advertisements, your blog must have tons of traffic (over 100k per months).
I suggest you to start looking for direct advertisements. Use your networks, contact local businesses and keep a “Advertise with us” page on your travel blog. This is a bit more difficult task than applying for Adsense. But, the benefits are high because you set the rate of ads.
Also, if your travel blog becomes famous, rich corporate travel industry might also contact you for advertisements.
In conclusion, you wouldn’t earn much using this method (unless you find direct advertisers). But, it can be a great passive income for your travel blog.
Most of the travel bloggers, including Nomadic Matt, earn using affiliates.
In this method, you put a link or a banner of product or service at the end or in the middle of your article. And, whenever people go through the link and buy the product or service, you get a certain commission.
For example, if you are writing about trekking in Nepal, you could add a link to the gears you used and would recommend.
You can find many affiliates network on the Internet. One of the best out there for travel bloggers is CJ Affiliate. Top travel companies like TripAdvisor and Flight Network use CJ affiliate for their affiliate program. Airbnb also has a great affiliate (referral) program.
Similarly, you could also join Amazon affiliate and advertise travel products.
But, the important thing to remember is, you should never promote products that you don’t trust.
Finally, this method wouldn’t make you rich but is a great passive income when you have a good number of visitors on your travel blog.
This is the best method of making money for average travel bloggers. And, this is also the most popular method of earning for most of the famous travel bloggers too.
You create your own product, like an ebook. And then, use your blog to promote and sell it. If you use right marketing strategies and if your product is useful and legitimate, you will get buyers. If people like your products, you will make a ton of money and become famous as well.
But, like other methods I mentioned earlier, you’ll need the traffic to get the sells.
If it doesn’t work out, you could even print a book. Compile your best travel experiences and contact a publisher.
This is another great way to make money with your travel blog. You can offer paid services, such as one-to-one counseling, speaking in conferences, or helping people create blogs.
In this method, you will use your travel blog to sell yourself. You need to advertise what services you can offer on the “About” page of your travel blog.
Be creative. Look at other travel blogs to check how they are selling themselves.
Similarly, you’ll need to convince people that you’re worth buying (with quality writings). And then, back up your claims once they purchase your service.
DO NOT offer services you are unsure of. You don’t want to ruin your reputation.
In this method, you will post about a specific brand, product or service and companies will pay you for it. It is like advertising a product, but with an article.
Once you have significant traffic coming to your travel blog, companies will approach you for sponsored post. But, remember, always be honest about the service or product while writing about it. I know, they are paying you, but you cannot lie to your audience.
And, don’t worry, many travel bloggers write sponsored post– some specify it as paid post, some don’t. As long as it’s interesting, your audience won’t mind if you write few sponsored posts now and then.
An example of sponsored post could be you writing your experience about the stay in a specific hotel. The hotel will pay you to write about them.
In addition to writing full-length articles on your travel blog, companies might also pay you for promoting products on your social media page. You could, on your Facebook page, share links to products or services, or share a photo of you using a service.
Travel industries or Tourism Boards could hire you to do their marketing. Once you are a recognized traveler, some travel industries might even offer you brand ambassadorship.
If you can land a paid marketing campaign, you will make very good money because you will decide your worth. You might be asked to do a film or to be a guest in their events. You should decide your fees based on the content and amount of time the project will take.
But, don’t go around hooking with every offer, remember, you have to maintain your brand.
Once you create a blog, you will basically become a writer. Your blog will become your portfolio. So, you use it to your advantage.
There are many blogs looking for a writer. Contact them.
Or, you can also go to freelance writing portals like Freelance Writing and Problogger, and find the right writing task for you.
Once you write for someone on freelance websites, and if they like you, they might even contact you in the future too.
You can always use this method if you want extra cash or if you are free.
Since you are a travel blogger, you will click photos for memories or for your blog. So, you will have lots of photos with you. But, did you know you can even sell them for money?
Businesses like tour companies, tourism boards, outdoor brands, media outlets could use your photos for marketing and advertising. The photos you see in the travel section of major news websites might have been clicked by some travel bloggers.
So, remember to carry a nice camera with you on your next trip. Click some awesome photos. Display them on your travel blog. If people or brands like them, they might contact you to purchase them. Plus, agencies might even hire you as their photographer for large projects.
Therefore, if you don’t know how to take great photos, take some photography classes or research on the Internet.
People love videos. Actually, they might even prefer watching a video to reading an article. So, you can also make videos when you travel to make money.
Going Bungee Jumping, or Skiing? Make a video and upload it on Youtube. Share the youtube link along with an article.
You could even make videos of everything you do while traveling.
Youtube is a great way to make money online. So, invest in a GoPro or other action camera.
Plus, with links to your videos from your travel blog and vice versa can increase the traffic to your blog notably. And, you know what rise in traffic means, MONEY AND FAME!
We are now at the end of this article so I am going to sum it up for you.

After some additional sketches I've decided to have 6 figures down in two separate groupings that fit together like a puzzle. I've decided to work with copper over plywood and paint the surfaces with different patinas to create a multi-colored effect. This is the first figures I've completed.

The couple has also rapidly expanded the menu to include more alternative fare for their clients.
Vegan choices and allergen-free food are only a small part of the couple’s vision. Their plans involve fresh bread, homemade salad dressings, and a dedication to providing a venue for community-based events that will feature live music and open mic nights.
The coffee house is pursuing a liquor license as well to include beer, wine, and breakfast mimosas to its menu.
Lacross and Mullikin have a lot in common. Mullikin is a veteran of the United States Navy, while Lacross is in the Naval Reserve.
Lacross is a business major at NVU-Johnson, while Mullikin takes classes to further his education as an environmental science major. Both are from Vermont; Lacross grew up in Fairfax, and Mullikin is from Montpelier.
Perhaps the biggest commonality is their love of good, healthy food.
Mullikin pursued his love of making French pastries while working for a French pastry chef in Colorado. Lacross has been no stranger to the craft herself, working at the Dream Cafe in Johnson for the past year.
Although Mullikan and Lacross will be making changes, the venue already has a long list of regular customers.
During its nearly quarter century, the café has seen a succession of owners and incarnations, beginning as the French Press in the early 1990s. Subsequent names have included Bad Girls’ Cafe, Groovin Beans, the Loving Cup, and the Dream Cafe. A distinctly welcoming, down-home atmosphere has characterized all of them, a quality upon which Lacross and Mullikan clearly intend to build.

After troubleshooting rattle & vibrations; symptoms point to motor and transaxle mounts. 220,000 miles and hoping for many more. Love the car. I'm 70 years old and have always been able to resolve most mechanical issues on tractors, cars and trucks.
Has anyone replaced either of these? I've located the engine mounts and removed the heat shields. It appears I will have to raise the engine several inches to clear bolts from engine and frame. Is it safe to place wood block on oil pan and slowly raise engine? Hmmmm. Sorry if this is a repetitive post...I searched for archival posts with zero results.
I, humbly, thank you all for any support you can offer.
FSM says to use a block of wood width-wise but I'd be nervous about that. I'd angle the wood to cover as much of the pan surface as possible. Changing the oil pan is a PITA.

Dan/Daytrepper is a very knowledgeable and experienced mechanic. I would trust his advice on anything car related.
PDF format. It's where the above diagram came from. Just print out whatever pages on your repair if needed. Way better than any Chiltons or Haynes! And did I mention it's free?

There was an unprecedented global change in gendered patterns of schooling attainment at the end of the 20th century. Women’s schooling attainment increased rapidly in both high and low-income countries so that by the end of the century women around the world, on average, had as much or more schooling than men for the first time in history. Changes in the educational distribution led to a global decline in educational hypergamy, or husbands having higher levels of schooling than wives Given that community context matters for family norms, what are the implications of contextual declines in the prevalence of hypergamy? Are macro-declines in the male educational advantage associated with increases or decreases in intra-familial tension? I explore this question using a case study from four countries in Eastern Africa: Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. Consistent with high-income countries, there have been dramatic declines in educational hypergamy in these countries. However, unlike high-income countries, changes in other dimensions of women’s economic, political, and social lives have been more limited. I argue that declines in men’s educational advantage accompanied by limited changes in women’s status in other domains provide an example of a “cultural lag” (Ogburn 1957), or a situation where one social variable changes more quickly than other related variables. Exploiting sub-national regional variation in declining hypergamy over a ten-year period, I conduct a multilevel model analysis of the relationship between regional changes in hypergamy and wives’ reports of recent experiences of intimate partner violence (a key measure of intra-familial tension) using Demographic Health Survey data. I find regional declines in hypergamy are associated with sizeable increases in wives’ reports of recent intimate partner violence, thus enhancing sociological understandings of how contextual changes in gender dynamics are associated with micro-level family outcomes.

Discussion in 'Mac Apps and Mac App Store' started by indigoblu, Dec 1, 2005.
I'm still running on Office X so I'm pretty unfamiliar with the problems. What are they exactly?
Nope, I haven't experienced any problems since the latest update (Powerpoint, Word, and Excel all seem to be working fine).
I'd uninstall, repair permissions, reinstall, and add those updates and try it out. But that's just the generic fix-it routine, anyone else having problems?
When I try to open Word, Powerpoint, or Excel, the icon just sits and bounces; and the Microsoft Error Reporter will come up (althought sometimes that freezes). It says it sends an error report to microsoft. My warning to people running Office 2004 on Tiger is not to install the newest update of office.
You could try deleting preferences assuming you've already repaired permissions (with Disk Utility). There are two files in particular; com.microsoft.Word.plist and com.microsoft.PowerPoint.plist that may be removed from the Preferences folder safely whilst Office is closed. In addition to this is the Microsoft preferences folder which will be nearby. Inside this is a list of other preference files, in particular some Excel preferences. This is all based on Office X but I imagine it'd be similar for 2004.
Anyway, removing these files from the folder will result in their recreation upon the next launch of each relevant app. Can I recommend not touching the Microsoft folder though, unless the removal of the first two files works. If nothing is fixed then close the apps again and put these files back where you found them, replacing the newly created ones to get back all your settings.
I hope that made a little bit of sense.
It's so good! Has a similar feel to MS Office but works better, has improved work flow and is 100% compatible with MS formats. It also has integral PDF support. There are six apps within Open Office and best of all, it's FREE!
Thank you for the advice. Right now I've uninstalled and reinstalled the entire office set of programs. It is working but a little buggy because it's the orig. edition of office 2004. I still need to get the first update when I am near a high speed connection. But I have your advice saved should more problems come again.
I have been seriously thinking about Open Office, I've read so many good things on the net lately. I was a little confused which one to download though. But I see that I need 2.0. So I will for sure download it when I'm at a high speed connection. Thank you.
Thank you to all for your help. Viva revolution, no more microsoft!!
I take some of that back. Do I download v. 2.0 of Open Office?? There is a version 1 and something else.
I'm definitely not an expert on Open Office, but from what I've heard v2.0 is OpenOffice which cannot be run directly in OSX (you'll have to be running X11). NeoOffice runs under OSX, and is basically v. 1 of OpenOffice.
You may want to check out a recent thread on this: Here.

Terms are used by the Numetric Dictionary to create associations between Tables and are the backbone of Datasets. For an overview of the Numetric Dictionary, see the Getting Started article Making Connections with Numetric Dictionary.
If you are using one of our connectors, Numetric will recognize any existing joins from the data source, and create Dictionary Terms based on the relationships in SQL.
1. Navigate to the Dictionary section of Numetric. Here all of your existing Terms will be displayed. Clicking on the name of an existing Term will allow you to view and edit the Term details.
To create a new Term, click on the New Term button in the top right.
2. Begin by naming the new Term. Make sure the name is universal and easy to understand so that everyone in your organization will know what this Term is referencing.
3. Each Term is based on a unique Primary Key. Because each Primary Key can only be used once, you will select from a list of all unused Primary Keys. To make finding your desired Primary Key easier, you can search for the Primary Key using the search bar under Term Name, or you can use the filters located in the sidebar; this includes filtering by Source, owner, and category.
4. Once the appropriate Primary Key is selected for the Term, click Create Term in the top right corner of the screen.
5. You will now see the Term details screen. The sidebar contains metadata that you can enter about the new Term. This includes a description of the Term, an option to display either the newly created Term name or the Column name, as well as space for you to provide clean examples of what key fields for this Term look like. From this screen, you can add additional columns from other Tables that also contain references to this Term. This is where you have the ability to cross-reference the same values across multiple Tables or for those of you familiar with SQL, this is where you add foreign key relationships. To add a new column to this Term, click the Add Columns button in the top right.
6. The Add Columns screen contains all unused columns from each Table in Numetric that are the same Data Type. Check the box next to each column you would like to add to this Term. Because of the number of columns that will most likely appear, using the search bar and the filter options on the sidebar will help in locating the columns you would like to add.Note - in order for two columns to be joined, they must both be the same Data Type. If the column you are searching for is not appearing in the list, it is either because that column has already been added to an existing Term, or because it is not the same Data Type as the key associated with the term.
7. Once you have selected all of the columns you would like to add to the Term, click the Add Columns to Term button located in the top right corner.
You have officially created a Dictionary Term in Numetric. The more Dictionary Terms you have created the more interconnected and powerful your future Datasets and Workbooks become.
For you database people, you'll recognize that what we've done here is identify the main, defining table for a key piece of data, and then identified the foreign keys that point to that defining table. You will also notice that we only perform left joins, and currently do not support multi column joins.
If you have any further questions regarding creating or managing Terms in the Numetric Dictionary, please let us know. We would be happy to help however we can.

the atkins diet is based upon the concept that your body burns both carbs and fat for fuel. cut back significantly on bad carbs like pasta, bread and potatoes, as well as sugar, and your body burns fat, including its own fat, for fuel.
the south beach diet can't be classified as a low-carb diet, a low fat-diet, or a high-protein diet. its rules: consume the right carbs and the right fats and learn to snack strategically.
What Is the Difference Between Good Carbs, and Bad Carbs?
the good carbs are the unrefined carbs that are found in whole, natural foods, such as whole grains, beans, rice and starchy vegetables. besides being packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, good carbs take longer to digest. bad carbs are refined carbs, the ones where digestion has begun in factories instead of our stomachs. refined carbs are found in packaged, processed foods, such as store-bought baked goods, crackers, pasta, and white bread.

The National Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Korea, at Gwacheon in Seoul’s south. Courtesy MOCA, Korea.
Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Korea (MOCA), Bae Soon-hoon, peremptorily resigned in mid-October, despite being only months away from the end of his term. Sixty-nine-year-old Bae was determined to leave after members of the National Assembly scolded him for his “bad attitude” during an October 7 parliamentary audit. He had apparently offended members with his “disrespectful” body language, which included crossing his legs and putting his hand in his pocket during the audit. He apologized for his actions six times before tendering his resignation.
Bae, a former CEO of Daewoo Electronics, and ex-Minister of Information and Communication, was appointed director in late 2009, despite having no previous arts administration experience. His appointment was made following the highly politicized termination of former MOCA director Kim Yoon-soo amidst what is seen as a targeted reshuffling of the arts environment by the Lee Myoung-bak administration. Kim was dismissed a year before his contract ended, a termination that was subsequently ruled to be unlawful, granting him back-pay.
On the other hand, it was hoped that Bae, known for his demanding managerial approach—colloquially described as “Tank-ism”—would introduce a more business-like environment, emulating the corporate structure of world-class institutions such as the Guggenheim Foundation. Despite Bae’s bureaucratic savvy, the original “managerial” goal of under his tenure was not realized: his administrative rating, by an independent agency, dropped from an “A” in 2009 to a “D” in 2010. Nevertheless, his personal connections have been a boon for the museum, his considerable clout meaning that large projects have often been approved more quickly than expected.
In its largest undertaking during Bae’s term, MOCA announced plans to open a third branch in 2013 on the site of the restored Kimusa hospital in Sogyeok-dong, though some argue that the building’s new role as an art institution makes light of its violent history. The historical landmark is fraught with painful memories, having been built in 1928 as a military hospital by Japanese colonial authorities. In the 1950s, after the establishment of South Korea, it was transformed into the Defense Security Command Complex, where the authoritarian government allegedly tortured dissidents.
At the site’s June 2011 ground-breaking ceremony, Bae told the Associated Press: “It is a place of terrible tragedy. However, to transform the pain and turn it into a place where people can come and enjoy [themselves]—that’s a wonderful thing.” The new museum will be named UUL National Museum of Art.
While Bae’s lack of experience in the arts was criticized by some, one staff member has cited fears about budget cuts and delays at the Kimusa site without someone as influential at the helm. It is unclear whether the government will select another bureaucrat-style manager to lead the institution, or an arts veteran like the ousted Kim. In the interim MOCA’s Secretary General of Planning and Management, Yun Nam-seon, has been appointed acting director.

There's now a wireless, vertical Pro-Ject turntable | What Hi-Fi?
The VT-E BT comes in red, white, and black, and is priced at £380. It's Bluetooth connected, and can be hung on your wall or mounted to a shelf.
Pro-ject's vertical, plug-and-play turntable is now available with Bluetooth compatibility. The VT-E BT, which follows the release of the VT-E, is priced at £380 - approximately £100 more than the wired version.
If you don't feel like using the Bluetooth settings all the time, you can still connect it up via the supplied cable to your hi-fi system.
Apart from that, it has all the same qualities as the original VT-E: it comes in right- and left-handed varieties, and can be mounted on a desk or wall, and is currently available in red, white, and black.

Harbour Asset Management head of fixed income, Christian Hawkesby, is leaving the firm after eight years to take up the newly-created role of Reserve Bank of NZ (RBNZ) assistant governor.
Hawkesby, a pivotal member of the Harbour fixed income and broader management team, will join the RBNZ in six weeks.
Andrew Bascand, Harbour chief, said long-time fixed income portfolio manager, Mark Brown, would replace Hawkesby while recent hire, George Henderson, steps up to run the boutique’s short duration and cash portfolios.
Fellow fixed income team member, Simon Pannett, has also been promoted to senior credit analyst.
Bascand said Harbour would likely recruit another analyst to further bolster the fixed income capability.
Harbour has over $4.5 billion under management including more than $2 billion in fixed income.
Due to take up the RBNZ job in mid-March, Hawkesby’s responsibilities would include input into monetary policy research and implementation, foreign reserves management, and currency creation and distribution (including payment and settlement systems).
As well as Hawkesby, the RBNZ also hired Simone Robbers as another assistant governor with responsibilities covering governance, strategy and corporate relations.
Robbers was previously Financial Markets Authority (FMA) director strategy and risk.

Transitioning from Notepad to VSCode.
On 19th March 2019, I tweeted this.
Got reply which suggessted me to write this post.
So, why not? It’s been a long time since my last blog post.
My transition from Notepad to VSCode was not a quick switch. While getting there, I learnt a lot of things.
Notepad > Notepad++ >Gedit (because notepad++ wasn't available for Linux) > VSCode.
I remember my first HTML CSS bootcamp I visited in 2015. They taught me to write code in Notepad.
Of course, being a former Windows boy, Notepad will always be your first choice to edit any kind kind of texts.
Notepad++ was like a huge upgrade from Notepad.
It had Syntax highlighting. And look at those numerous options in the menu bar! It had copy/paste, find, zoom, record and many more features that I didn’t even know nor tried for.
I wanted to not just design web pages, but make them dynamic.
So, I joined a PHP bootcamp in my city (Nashik). There I was kinda forced to use another Code Editor.
It had a lot of features in built for designers and developers, but was yet very distractive and complex for use. Its loading time was ridiculous. It makes you wait as long as you waited for Photoshop to open on a Windows machine.
After completing bootcamp in early 2016, I preffered Notepad++.
In late 2016, WordPress came in my life. That CMS runs this website today.
I started to learn to make plugins for WordPress ecosystem. During that time, the inner me asked for black. Dark! The developers in WordPress ecosystem used Dark IDEs which made me jelous as a kid.
This was the period when I spent most of my time coding basic PHP webapps. For learning purposes, I created Calculators, Budget Helpers, etc.
Every thing I knew by far was to write the code, go to the browser and reload!
I yet had a Windows machine. VSCode on Windows 8 was very slow. But, I switched to VSCode just for the sake of switching.
That was early 2017. Adoption rates of VSCode were comparatively low. Most devs used Sublime Text.
I created two WordPress plugins on this editor. I got some coding experience and felt the fun to code on VSCode.
This operating system, I swear is enriching developer experience!
Thanks to mom for getting me my lovely Macbook Air in late 2017.
Here, I first installed Atom Editor, and used it the most!
The Atom editor was fantastic. Never saw such an easy access to themes and packages in an editor via graphical user interface!
It had a lot of options in settings to play with. It’s just fun! But, again. A problem.
It took seconds to load every file. The pain of waiting for 3 seconds to just load a file in editor to check what’s in, is huge!
While in Atom Editor, I created a Twitter bot, learned Laravel and Java, I wanted a shift. I wanted Intellisense that you get nowhere but on VSCode.
VSCode on mac was fast. Though Sublime text is the fastest, but the intellisense you get on VSCode is all worth it.
That was 2018, when most of the developers were switching to VSCode from Sublime. This big shift was due to intellisense that the Microsoft’s software had.
It had Git builtin by default. That is a huge plus point!
I love VSCode because of Shades Of Purple!
It feels really very fascinating to know that there is so much more to learn in the field I have chosen.
My transition from NotePad to VSCode is a long story. Feels so good to look back today.
Of course, after few years, there’ll be much more to look back at. Excited about what changes tech brings to my life.

Iolana is a diver, and she's just made her first dive to steal precious gems from the sea. She gets two: one a lovely blue, and the other a forbidding red that marks her for--she doesn't know what, but it likely means that she will never leave her tiny island home. She hides the red stone, and things begin to happen. The spirit world, the environment, the political climate, her relationships with family and friends--they all come into play, and when her island is flooded, her family must leave, and be separated. It turns out that Lana's mom would do many bad things to keep her safe, and Lana, in turn, would do anything to keep her mother alive. Handily, plenty of people with terrible intent are happy to lend a hand, even Death her(?)self, and in turn, Lana may unknowingly destroy all.
One important theme is power, and the abuse of it; this is played out in Lana's apprenticeship to a witch, and the witch's use of her for her own ends. Even when Lana realizes this, it's very hard for her to recognize what's happened. This story also has a very strong feeling of being about women. There are men, yes, and they have storylines and lives of their own, but the central struggles with motherhood and family and love felt like they were coming from a different place than in a lot of stories where Girl Has an Adventure. Lana isn't taking on The Adventure Boys Have. It's difficult to explain, but I'm simply left with the impression that epic heroine's journey here, even if it plays to the same endings others have, is being approached somewhat differently than usual.
This is a complicated universe, and the many threads drag a little around the 2/3 mark, partly because you don't know what matters and what doesn't, and the part where you see where some threads are going is delayed by the episodic nature of this part of the story. As the first part of a trilogy, the story starts in a small space and many paths fan out as the plot moves along, though this first book, in my opinion, is not in the pattern of many "part one" books lately that serve only to set up a world. Lana develops quite a bit between the opening pages and the closing, as do other characters and themes, and while things certainly aren't resolved neatly at the end of the book, there is a sense that a new part of the story will begin in the next volume.
Racing the Dark is set in a world inspired by Polynesia and (I perceive) Japan; people of various backgrounds and beliefs wander lands that don't map to Earth geography. I think inspired by is the key phrasing here, because this goes further than filing the numbers of off existing places/people and renaming them for convenience. There are things obviously drawn from reality; Lana's home island has houses on stilts to get up and away from floodwaters during the rainy season. It felt like the ways that people lived were drawn from their geography first, and from the in-world religions and cultures, and lastly from the real world, and then rarely and when it seems like it would be very hard to explain a concept quickly (ex. "pagoda" is used once to explain the shape of a building). Another example might be that on Lana's home island, she doesn't have to wear a blouse--it's warm enough, it's not needed culturally, etc. When she goes to other islands, she has to wear one, and there's a struggle with not wanting to change vs. fitting in (and staying warm in a different climate). That's just one example of something that seemed to me to draw on reality, but something fitted into the world for a purpose. For my taste, I appreciate that such details aren't magically hand-waved, but addressed in terms of their physical and emotional impact; I also appreciate that they're woven into the complexity of the world.
This book ends on a really dark note--surprising for the first part of a trilogy, in a way. The follow up is due out June 2010.

Causes of civil war by Jamal MCcree. Causes of civil war by Jamal MCcree.
1.3. As America began moving west, the issue of whether or not slavery should be allowed in the new states forming out west became an issue. The first state in which this became an issue was Missouri. It's addition to the United States threatened to upset the balance between Free states and slave states. In 1820, Senator Henry Clay persuaded Congress to approve the Missouri Compromise. The Missouri compromise states: 1. Maine was admitted as a free state. 2. Missouri was admitted as a slave state. 3. Louisiana Territory north of Missouri's southern border was free. 4. Southern slave owners gained the right to pursue escaped fugitives into free regions.
2.4. Since the Missouri Compromise did not apply to the large territory gained from Mexico in 1848, Representative David Wilmot of Pennsylvania proposed that Congress ban slavery in all territory that might become part of the United States as a result of the Mexican-American War. The proposal passed in the House but failed in the Senate.
3.3. In the election of 1848, both the Whigs party and the Democratic Party hoped to win by not taking a stand on the issue of slavery. Antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces to create a new political party. It called for the territory gained in the Mexican-American War to be "free soil", a place where slavery was banned.
5.2. California wanted to be a state but was above the Missouri compromise line.
5.3. Gold was found in California and thousands moved to the area. Soon the territory had enough people to be admitted as a state. This angered the South and they threatened to secede (leave). The compromise was proposed by Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky in January 1850. He hoped this compromise would end the debate over slavery forever. This proposal produced one of the greatest debates in American political history. President Taylor opposed the compromise but died and the new president Millard Fillmore supported it.
6.2. Fugitive slave being captured.
6.3. The Fugitive slave act allowed government officials to arrest any person accused of being a runaway slave. Suspects had no right to trial to prove that they had been falsely accused. All it took was a slaveholder or any white witness to swear that the suspect was a slaveholder's property. The law also required northern citizens to help capture accused runaways if authorities requested assistance.
7.3. Written by Harriet Stowe in 1852, it was a novel abut kindly Uncle Tom, an enslaved man who is abused by the cruel Simon Legree. The book became a best seller in the North. It shocked thousands of people who had been unconcerned with slavery before reading the book. The book caused people to view slavery as a human, moral problem and not just a political issue. White Southerners were outraged.
8.2. The States affected by the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
8.3. Senator Stephen Douglas pushed the Act in 1854 which led the nation closer to war. He wanted to see a railroad built from Illinois through Nebraska Territory to the Pacific Coast. He suggested creating two new territories: the Kansas territory and the Nebraska Territory. Both were above the Missouri Compromise Line and would become free states which upset the Southerners. To win southern support, he suggested that the issue of slavery be resolved by popular sovereignty. This would undo the Missouri Compromise.
9.2. Continuous fighting in Kansas.
9.3. Both pro slavery and anti slavery settlers flooded to Kansas to try and win the majority. Thousands of people from Missouri entered Kansas in March of 1855 to vote illegally in the election of a territorial legislature. Kansas had 3,000 voters but almost 8,000 people voted. Of the 39 people (legislatures) elected, all but 3 supported slavery. Antislavery settlers refused to accept the results and held another election. Kansas now had two governments. Violence broke out. In April, a proslavery sheriff was shot when he tried to arrest some antislavery settlers in the town of Lawrence. He returned the next month with 800 men and attacked the town. Three days later John Brown, an antislavery settler from Connecticut led seven men to a proslavery settlement near Pottawat Creek and murdered five proslavery men and boys. This started widespread fighting in Kansas.
10.3. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts was the leading abolitionist senator and made fiery speeches denouncing the proslavery legislature in Kansas. In one of his speeches he singled out Andrew Butler who was an elderly senator from South Carolina who was not present when he gave his speech. A few days later his nephew, Congressman Preston Brooks, marched into the senate chamber and beat Summer with a heavy cane until he fell to the floor bloody and unconscious. Sumner never really recovered from his injuries.
11.3. The Whig party split in 1854 and many northern Whigs formed a new political party called the Republican Party. Their main goal was to stop the spread of slavery into the western territories. Their antislavery stand attracted many northern democrats and Free-Soil members. The party quickly became very powerful. In the first congressional elections held just a few months after the party was created, 105 of 245 candidates were elected to the House of Representatives. Democrats also lost control of two northern state legislatures. Two years later the party ran its first candidate for president John C. Fremont.
13.3. Dred Scott was an enslaved person who had once been owned by a U.S. Army doctor. They had lived In Illinois and wisconsin for a short time where slavery was illegal. They settled in Missouri. With the help of an anitslavery lawyer, Scott sued for his freedom because he argued that he was free because he had lived where slavery was illegal. The case reached the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court delivered its verdict in the case on March of 1857' three days later President Buchanan took office. The Chief Justice Roger B. Taney wrote the decision for the Court. Scott was not a free man for two reasons: 1. Scott had no right to sue ub federal court because African Americans were not citizens; 2. Merely living in free territory does not make an enslaved person free. Slaves were property and property rights were protected by the United States constitution. The ruling also said that Congress did not have the power to prohibit slavery in any territory. Thus, the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional. Southern ears were happy because slavery was legal in all territories. Northerners were upset because now slavery could spread to the west.
14.3. Lincoln was chosen as the presidential candidate for Senate against Senator Douglass in 1858. Lincoln and Douglass were political and personal rivals. Lincoln challenged Douglass to a series of public debates. Thousands gathered to hear them speak. Newspapers reported what each man said throughout the nation. Douglass defended popular sovereignty and said each state had the right to decide for or against the spread of slavery. He predicted that slavery would die out on its own but in the meantime Americans had an obligation to keep it out of the Western territories. In the end, Douglass won the elections but now Lincoln was known throughout the nation.
15.2. John Brown. Photograph taken near the end of his life. After he went mentally ill.
15.3. John a town was driven out of Kansas after the Pohawatomic Creek Massacre and returned to New England. He began a plot to free people in the South that were enslaved. In 1859' Brown and a small group of supporters attacked the town of Harper's Ferry, Virginia. His goal was to take control of the guns that the U.S. Army had stored there. He thought that enslaved African Americans would support him. He would give them weapons and lead them in a revolt. He gained control of The guns but troops commanded by Colonel Robert E. Lee surrounded Brown's force before it could escape. Ten of Brown's followers were killed. Brown was wounded and captured. At his trial, he sat quietly as the court found him guilty of murder and treason. He was hanged in Virginia on December 2, 1859. Many people in the North considered him a hero. Southerners were shocked that Northerners thought this about a person who tried to lead a revolt against them.
16.3. As the Whig Party split apart in 1854, many northern Whigs joined a new political party. It was called the Republican Party, and its main goal was to stop the spread of slavery into the western territories. Of the 245 candidates elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, 105 were Republicans. The Republicans' anti-slavery stand also attracted northern Democrats and Free-Soil Party members.
17.3. The Republicans chose Abraham Lincoln as their presidential candidate. His criticisms of slavery during his debates with Douglas had made him popular in the North. Northern Democrats chose Stephen Douglas as their candidate. Southern Democrats picked Vice President John Breckinridge of Kentucky. Some Southerners still hoped to heal the split between North and South. The election showed just how fragmented the nation had become.
18.3. Lincoln's election sent shock waves through the South. To many southerners, it seemed that the South no longer had a voice in the national government. They believed that the President and Congress were now set against their interests- especially slavery- South Carolina was the first southern state to secede from the Union. On December 20, 1860 the convention passed a declaration that "the Union now subsisting between South Carolina and the other states, under the name of the United States of America' is hereby dissolved".
20.3. A plan developed by Senator John C. Crittenden of Kentucky to compromise with the South one last time. It was presented to Congress in late February, 1861 while the South was forming its new government but it did not pass.

Genetically modified yeast can synthesise morphine and semisynthetic opioid pharmaceuticals, researchers in the US have shown. This could obviate the need to grow opium poppies, reducing security concerns and the resulting regulatory hurdles, as well as the costs of chemically synthesising some of the synthetic opioids.
The opium poppy is the source of a variety of pharmaceutical drugs such as the analgesic morphine, the cough medicine and painkiller codeine and the vasodilator papaverine. Several other pharmaceuticals can be chemically synthesised from poppy products too. But growing opium poppies is problematic because they’re used to produce heroin too. The International Narcotics Control Board has limited opium poppy growth to a few highly regulated areas such as Australia and Turkey, and a large proportion of the world’s opiates are grown on the Australian island of Tasmania, making the supply vulnerable to climate change and natural disasters such as floods.
In 2006, Jay Keasling and colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, successfully used genetically modified yeast to synthesise artemisinic acid, a precursor chemical to artemisinin.1 This is a highly effective treatment for multi-drug resistant malaria that had previously been available only from Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood), limiting the supply and making artemisinin unaffordable for many malaria sufferers. Artemisinin derived from yeast is now produced commercially, supplementing the natural supply, although it has yet to significantly reduce the drug’s cost. Bioengineer Christina Smolke and colleagues at Stanford University in California are working towards a genetically modified strain of yeast to produce opiate compounds – a much more complex process than artemisinin synthesis.
In 2008, Smolke and colleague Kristy Hawkins, then at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, reported a strain that could perform some key early stages of the pathway.2 In the present paper, Smolke’s team focused on the final stages. The group engineered a strain of yeast expressing three key enzymes used by poppy plants to convert the opiate precursor thebaine to morphine. After culturing the engineered yeast with thebaine for four days, they detected morphine and codeine. In initial experiments, more than half the product comprised an unusual isomer of morphine called neomorphine, which is not known to have any pharmacological use, although to date it has not been tested. They devised a strategy to localise various stages of the reaction to specific organelles of the yeast, and this, together with optimisation of the yeast strain to express the ideal proportions of the three enzymes, allowed them to increase the specificity for morphine to 86%.
Next, the researchers modified the yeast to produce high-value semisynthetic opioids such as the painkiller hydromorphone, which is up to seven times more effective as a painkiller than morphine. Currently, these drugs have to be produced from natural opioids by expensive chemical processing. However, bacteria found growing on waste from a poppy processing plant had been found to contain enzymes that produce these compounds directly. The researchers, therefore, added these enzyme genes into the yeast, to increase its synthetic repertoire. Eventually, they produced three strains of yeast optimised for the production of morphine and hydromorphone, as well as two other semisynthetic opioids, hydrocodone and oxycodone. Using the strain optimised for morphine the yeast could produce 4.7mg/l of the drug, which the researchers concede is lower than they expected. The oxycodone strain performed better, synthesising 70mg/l of that drug.

Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) is an international Earth observing "System of Systems" that will initiate the measurement of precipitation, a key climate factor, globally. GPM is a joint initiative with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and other international partners. It integrates previously planned and dedicated missions in a scalable and evolving constellation of multiple spacecraft and data processing and validation ground systems. Its science objectives are: - To improve ongoing efforts to predict climate by providing near-global measurement of precipitation, its distribution, and physical processes; - To improve the accuracy of weather and precipitation forecasts through more accurate measurement of rain rates and latent heating; and - To provide more frequent and complete sampling of the Earth's precipitation. GPM is a potential NASA contribution to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) as envisioned by the intergovernmental ad hoc Group on Earth Observations (GEO) through the U.S. Group on Earth Observations (US GEO). GPM directly supports three of the nine societal benefits identified by the GEO. GPM is envisioned to consist of a core spacecraft to measure precipitation structure and to provide a calibration standard for the constellation spacecraft, an international constellation of NASA and contributed spacecraft to provide frequent precipitation measurements on a global basis, calibration/validation sites distributed globally with a broad array of precipitation-measuring instrumentation, and a global precipitation data system to produce and distribute global rain maps andclimate research products. GPM is now in formulation phase and recently began the acquisition of the GPM Microwave Imager (GMI), NASA's principal instrument. GPM launches are targeted to begin in 2010.

1. Amp up your curb appeal!
Curb appeal may sound daunting, but there are several easy ways to make your home stand out on your block. While landscaping is an important part of curb appeal, it doesn’t necessarily mean you need to do a complete (and often expensive) overhaul. For instance, in lieu of several plants, add high plants in striking planters to add height and draw the eye in towards the front of your home. You can also add grandeur with a home number refresh or a fresh coat of door paint!
2. Break out the duster.
Spring brings a variety of dust and pollen (we’ve seen the latter quite a bit in North Carolina recently!) so make sure you break out your best dusters to freshen up each room in your home. Don’t forget the tops of fans and cabinets and any window blinds.
3. Clear out the clutter and the junk drawers.
No spring refresh is complete without a little removal of clutter in your home. Go through old piles, junk drawers, and storage areas to remove anything that no longer serves a purpose.
4. Deep clean any carpets.
Almost every season can create wear and staining on your carpets, so deep cleaning is a must for the spring season. Deep cleaning removes stains and any lingering allergens, so let your carpets shine with the warm season!
Is there a room on your home that’s feeling dull? Try refreshing or changing the color on the walls to maximize the natural light that the room receives. A new coat of paint can brighten the space and make it pop! If your cabinet handles or door knobs look a little too worn down, try to polish or shine them, or, try a new style to bring a new feel to the space.
What are your best spring cleaning tips? Share them with us in the comments below!

NL–I have no idea who will really win this award. I have my choice as to who should win it, but I’m not confident about who will win it. It appears to come down to four candidates: Todd Frazier, Bryce Harper, Wade Miley, and Wilin Rosario. Frazier had a good season, especially when Joey Votto went down, but his late season numbers were way down and voters tend to remember the last thing they saw. Harper had all the press early. He was the phenom of phenoms. He played with emotion, he played with style. What he didn’t do was have the phenom of phenoms year. I have a feeling that will hurt him. I also think the Strasburg mess will hurt him because it took the spotlight off Harper and put it somewhere else. That’s never a good thing if you’re trying to win an award. Miley is the pitcher in the mix. He became the ace at Arizona and piled up 16 wins (tied for sixth in the NL) with a 3.33 ERA. Rosario had a great year power-wise, hitting 28 home runs and putting up 71 RBIs, both of which led our rookie candidates. Unfortunately he did most of that damage in Coors Field and that’s not going to win him a lot of support. Voters don’t seem to take seriously anything that happens in Coors Field. Further, he’s a catcher, and not much of one. My personal choice for RoY is Miley and I wouldn’t be surprised if the voters favoring the hitters split their votes and Miley slipped in to win. But my guess is that ultimately Harper will win, if for no other reason than his team had the best overall record.
The playing part of the 2012 season is now over and congratulations are in order to the Giants. We now begin the second part of the season, the awards and honors section. This part of the season lasts until January and includes all the postseason awards plus the two Hall of Fame votes. I’m going to take some time to voice my opinion on the awards by letting readers know both who I think will win and who I think should win. Frequently those aren’t the same people. I start with the Managers. Let me remind you that all awards voting is done before the playoffs begin so nothing that happens in the playoffs can affect the awards.
AL–I presume Buck Showalter will win. The Orioles hadn’t won in the 21st Century, lost one of their best players (Nick Markakis), battled the Yankees with their overwhelming salary advantage, and made the playoffs as a wildcard team. That’s worthy of Manager of the Year in the American League. But let me remind you about Oakland and Bob Melvin. The Athletics last made the playoffs in 2006, then wandered through a wasteland with one semi-winning season (2010 when they finished at exactly .500). They hired Melvin with about 100 games left (actually 99) in 2011 and this year they won the AL West. In doing so they put up the second best record in the AL (one game better than Baltimore, one game less than New York. They also had to take on the reigning AL champion (Texas) and won the head-to-head matchup that propelled them to the division title (remember Baltimore won a wild card, not a division). I think Showalter will win, but I wouldn’t be upset if Melvin (my choice) won the award.
NL–I presume this is Davey Johnson’s award. He took a team that had never won a thing, led it to the best record in baseball, had to put up with the Strasburg circus, and still found a way to win. Certainly nothing wrong with those credentials and ultimately I’d probably vote for him, but take a look at the following candidates. Bruce Bochy saw his ace, a two-time Cy Young winner, fall apart, replaced him with pitchers who were over the hill (Zito), or had twenty total wins going into the season (Bumgarner), or whose claim to fame was that he was pretty good in Japan (Vogelsong) and had only one decent year in the US. Then he has a team that finishes dead last in power (only two players available for the Series had double figure home runs). Finally, his best player and All Star game MVP (Cabrera) is banned for 50 games. The result of all this is a first place finish. Also take a look at Mike Matheny. I know he manages the reigning World Champions, but it’s not the same team as last season. Three quarters of his infield is new. Pujols is gone replaced by Craig who isn’t a first baseman, Furcal goes down and is replaced by a rookie, Descalso has moved from third to second (but at least is still in the infield), Craig is on outfielder moved to third. That’s messing with half the starters. Top that off with losing his ace (Carpenter) and still the Cards made the playoffs. Not bad for a rookie manager.
I think that Showalter and Johnson will win and if they do they won’t be bad choices, but don’t forget the others. They deserve a lot of credit for the success of their team.
With the Giants up in the World Series, this seems like a good time to talk about the history of the team. It goes back to the 1880s, although almost no one knows anything that happened in Giants baseball prior to John McGraw. So let me introduce you to Jim Mutrie.
Mutrie was born in Massachusetts in 1851. He worked for his father, attended school, and played cricket. The latter got him interested in baseball. By 1867 he was catching for local clubs and making his name as a leading sportsman of the region. Besides proficiency in baseball and cricket he was known as a champion cycler (this is the old bicycle that had the giant wheel in the front and a small one at back) and won some distance races on the bicycle, including a 50 mile distance race in 1879. But baseball was where the money was and Mutrie was good enough to make it onto some minor league teams in the area. By 1880 he had quit as a player and was managing the Brockton team.
Baseball in New York City had fallen on bad times. One of the great cradles of Paleolithic baseball, New York hadn’t had a Major League team since just after the founding of the National League when the Mutuals were tossed out of the league for failing to make a late season Western (read Chicago) swing. Brooklyn, another hotbed of early baseball also was without a team, the Dodgers (originally called the Atlantics after a famous 1850s-60s team) weren’t formed until 1884. Mutrie saw the need and potential for a Major League team in New York. He got in contact with John B. Day, a successful tobacconist (the stories of how they met vary), convinced Day to invest in a baseball team, and found a suitable area to build a stadium, the initial Polo Grounds (not to be confused with the more famous one in Queens). He recruited players, named the team the New York Metropolitans (Mets) and joined the Eastern Championship Alliance (a minor league). They won championships in both 1881 and 1882, earning them an invitation to join the newly formed American Association (a new Major League). The team accepted and Major League baseball was back in New York in 1883.
And it was back in a big way. Not only did the Metropolitans join the Association, but Day formed a new team called the Gothams and managed to get them into the National League. So from having no teams between 1877 and 1882, New York now had a team in both Major Leagues.
The Mets won a pennant in 1884. That allowed them to participate in the first primitive World Series against the National League’s Providence Greys. It was a three game series with Providence winning all three games. But the Gothams made more money, had more panache, and finished fourth. Day approached Mutrie about changing teams, Mutrie agreed, and in 1885 he became manager of the New York Gothams. He brought with him Tim Keefe, the Mets best pitcher. It began a steady rise for the Gothams. By the end of the 1885 season they had a second place finish and a new nickname, the Giants.
There is some debate about the origin of the name. We know that P.J. Donohue, a reporter for the New York World used the term “Giants” in an article on 14 April 1885. Later Mutrie claimed that he’d refered to his team as “My big fellas, my Giants” to Donohue and thus deserved credit for the name. Donohue never commented one way or the other as far as I can tell. This brings up an issue when dealing with Mutrie. His nickname was “Truthful James”, but it was meant in the same ironic way that a 6′ 6″ 250 pound linebacker is called “Tiny.” Apparently Mutrie liked to brag, to take credit for things whether he did them or not, and inflate his importance, and let his stories improve with age (He’d make a great “booster” in the town where I live). So you should take his assertion about the “Giants” nickname with something less than 100% confidence.
Whatever Mutrie’s veracity, his team was good. They won pennants in 1888 and 1889, then swept to “World Series” wins in both seasons. It was a great team, one of the best of the 19th Century. Hall of Famers Roger Connor, Monte Ward, Jim O’Rourke, and Buck Ewing played in the field. Keefe and Mickey Welch, both Hall of Fame members anchored the pitching staff. Mike Tiernan and George Gore also played for the team and were household names in the era.
But all was not well with the team. The Brotherhood of Professional Base Ball Players was heavily represented on the team (Ward was the Brotherhood founder and leader). In 1890, fed up with low salaries and contract restrictions, the Brotherhood formed its own league (the Player’s League). It devastated the Giants. Of the 1889 starting fielders, only Tiernan remained with the team. Keefe also left the team, although Welch remained. The team finished in sixth at 63-68 (the only losing season in Mutrie’s career). They got back to third in 1891, but the team was in trouble. Day was broke and sold the team. Wanting a fresh start, the new ownership fired Mutrie.
For Mutrie it was the end. He never got back to the Major Leagues. He moved to Staten Island with his wife and daughter, survived doing odd jobs, and was largely forgotten. The Giants had an occasional reunion of the old teams and Mutrie was there. They eventually gave him a small pension, but he was never associated with the team again. He died on Staten Island in relative obscurity in 1938.
For his career, Mutrie won three pennants, two “World Series”, and finished with a losing record once. He managed nine years, won 658 games, lost 419, and ended with a winning percentage of .611. Know how many managers with 200 games have a better winning percentage? One, Joe McCarthy (.615) of the 1930s-1940s Yankees. You’d think that would get people’s attention, wouldn’t you? You’d be wrong. Mutrie has had almost no support for the Hall of Fame.
Jim Mutrie is one of those guys that early baseball seems to run across with frequency. Part showman, part genius, part fool. We’ve lost something with the modern ballplayer and manager. We’ve lost the Mutrie “character”. Ain’t that kind of a shame?
So it’s the Giants, is it? They’ve had a long and distinguished history. Interestingly enough they’ve never played Detroit in the postseason. Of all the original American League teams from 1901 the Giants have played each except for Detroit and the team now in Baltimore (via Milwaukee and St. Louis). How have they done?
Frankly, the Giants have, as a rule, been a disappointment in postseason play (I reference here only the 20th and 21st Century teams, not the successful 19th Century team.). In 1904 they won a pennant then refused to play Boston in the World Series. In 1905, under great public pressure, they changed their mind and bested Philadelphia in five games. It was their last win until the 1920s. They made the World Series each year from 1911 through 1913 and proceeded to lose all three. They lost again in 1917, going 0 for 4 for the teens.
They did better in the 1920s. From 1921 through 1924 they won consecutive National League pennants. In World Series play they beat the Yankees in the first two “Subway Series” in 1921 and 1922. Then they lost to the Yanks in 1923 and to Walter Johnson and the Senators in 1924. That was it for John McGraw’s tenure as manager.
In the 1930s they got back to the World Series on three occasions: 1933, 1936, and 1937. They won the first (against Washington), then dropped two Subway Series to Lou Gehrig’s Yankees. For the 1940s they did nothing. The decade was doubly painful because they saw their status as New York’s premier NL team be eclipsed by the Dodgers.
In 1951 they won the most famous of all playoff games and finally got back to the World Series. I’ve always been amazed at the number of people who think that either Bobby Thomson’s home run won the World Series, or that the Giants went on to coast to a World Series victory. They didn’t as the Giants hashed the Series in six games. They were back again in 1954 when they pulled off one of the great upsets ever by knocking off the 111 game winning Indians in four games.
And that was it for the New York version of the Giants. In 1958 they headed for San Francisco. They won the pennant in 1962 and faced the Yankees in a “Jetliner Series”. They lost in seven games on a smoking line drive by Willie McCovey that Bobby Richardson speared (The ball was hit so hard I always wondered if it dislocated Richardson’s shoulder). And then they went into hibernation. For the rest of the 1960s, most of the 1970s (one playoff appearance that they lost), and the 1980s they were dismal. In 1989 they made a second San Francisco World Series losing the “Bay Area Classic” to Oakland in four games (interrupted by an earthquake).
Then it was back to the boondocks until 2002. They won the NL pennant that year, had the Angels on the ropes in game six of the World Series, and managed to hash another playoff run. That finally changed in 2010 when they blew Texas out of the Series and claimed their first championship in San Francisco.
So it’s a very mixed bag if you’re a Giants fan. You lose more than you win, but your wins are as glorious as they are for any other team. And like Detroit, you can put together a heck of a team. Here’s a sample of what they Giants could put in the field over the years: an oufield of Mel Ott, Willie Mays, and Barry Bonds (before his head got big); an infield of Willie McCovey, Frankie Frisch, Al Dark, and Matt Williams; and Roger Bresnahan behind the plate. And the pitching? Try this staff without leaving the letter “M”: Christy Mathewson, Joe McGinnity, Rube Marquard, Sal Maglie, Juan Marichal. And of course that leaves out Carl Hubbell and company. They’ve even got a great pair of managers in John McGraw and Leo Durocher. Not bad, right?
So good luck to the Giants (You have any idea how hard that is for a Dodgers fan to type?). Win or lose I hope they play well. Most importantly, I hope it’s a great Series.
I wanted to comment on the team playoff history of the National League representative to this season’s World Series but the Cardinals and Giants are making it exceedingly difficult for me to do so. They are, however, having a heck of a series. So I’ve decided to write about Detroit baseball before the Tigers.
In 1881 Major League baseball came to Detroit. The Wolverines played in the National League and were reasonably good for much of their history. They finished fourth and fifth in 1881 and 1882, then slid back from 1883 through 1885 never finishing higher than sixth. It was too much for the owner.
In 1886 he went out and bought a team (George Steinbrenner would be pleased). What he did was to lure away a number of the stars of the era by offering big salaries (for the era) and a multi-year contract. In doing so he put together one of the better teams of the 19th Century. Although these names may be meaningless to you, in the 1880s they were household names among baseball fans. There was Hall of Famer Dan Brouthers at first, Fred Dunlap and Jack Rowe up the middle of the infield, and Deacon White (who should be in the Hall of Fame) at third. The outfield consisted of Hardy Richardson (a borderline HoF candidate) and Hall of Famers Sam Thompson and Ned Hanlon (although Hanlon is in the Hall as a manager). Charlie Bennett (who later had the Detroit stadium named for him) was the catcher and the mainstays of the staff were Lady Baldwin and Pretzels Getzien (God, they don’t make nicknames like they used to).
They finished second in 1886, 2.5 games behind Chicago, then roared to a pennant in 1887 with Charlie Ganzel replacing Bennett as the primary catcher. There was a postseason series in the 1880s (a sort of primitive World Series) played between the National League champion (Detroit) and the winner of the American Association (St. Louis Browns–now the Cardinals). The teams were allowed to pick the number of games in the postseason and the two teams settled on an all-time high of 15 games with all 15 being played regardless of who got to 8 first. Detroit won 10 games and brought the first World’s Championship to the city.
It was a short-lived triumph. You see the team was expensive to maintain and no matter how well they did, they just couldn’t turn a profit. With Dunlap going to Pittsburgh (Richardson replaced him at second), White turning 40, and Thompson having a down year they finished 5th. It was too much and the team folded at the end of the season. It was the last Major League team in Detroit until the Tigers were formed in 1901.
So Detroit has a long history of Major League play. Not just the Tigers have been successful. The team that came before had one great run. Thought you ought to know.
Without question the Detroit Tigers are the most unsung of the four teams that made it to the League Championship Series. The Yankees have won with great regularity. The Cardinals are reigning World Champs and the most successful National League team. The Giants are one of the most storied of NL franchises, particularly between 1885 and 1965. But Detroit? For most of its history Detroit has been a run of the mill member of the American League.
The announcers last night spent a lot of time reminding us that this will be Detroit’s 11th World Series (out of 107). They managed to win four of them (1935, 1945, 1968, and 1984) losing the other (1907-09, 1934, 1940, and 2006). They’ve been sporadically good, note how their championships tended to clump prior to 1946, but mostly they’ve been also rans.
That’s really kind of a shame. The Tigers have produced a pretty fair set of players over the 112 seasons they’ve played. Take a look at this outfield: Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford, Al Kaline. Then add in this infield: Hank Greenberg, Charley Gehringer, Alan Trammel, George Kell. Toss in Bill Freehan behind the plate and Harry Heilman DHing and you’ve got a pretty good set of hitters. The pitching isn’t as stout, but Hal Newhouser, Jack Morris, Dizzy Trout, Frank Lary, Mickey Lolich, Denny McLain, and Justin Verlander make a nice set of mound men. You’d think a team with this kind of talent (and I left out guys like Norm Cash and Willie Horton) would be better known.
So good luck to the Tigers whoever they play. If it’s St. Louis, it will be the fourth time (the Cards lead 2-1). If it’s the Giants, it will be the first time the two franchises have squared off. May it be a great Series and may Detroit play well, win or lose.
So far I’ve said little about Miguel Cabrera’s Triple Crown. I tend to worry more about old-time baseball than about the current season, but congratulations are certainly in order. With Detroit still alive in the playoffs he has a chance to do something that’s only been done twice.
Over the years a hitting Triple Crown has been accomplished 16 times. Only twice has the Triple Crown winners team also won the World Series. Here’s a quick review of each Triple Crown winner and where his team finished.
1878–Paul Hines won the Triple Crown for Providence. They finished third in the National League.
1887–Tip O’Neill won the Triple Crown for St. Louis of the American Association (a major league at the time). The team finished first and played a 15 game postseason series against Detroit of the National League (sort of a primitive World Series). They lost 10 games to 5.
1901–Napoleon LaJoie won the Triple Crown for the Philadelphia Athletics. They finished fourth in the fledgling American League.
1909–Ty Cobb won the Triple Crown at Detroit. The Tigers dropped the World Series to Pittsburgh in seven games.
1922 and 1925–Rogers Hornsby won the Triple Crown while with St. Louis. The Cardinals finished third in 1922 and fourth in 1925. Hornsby became the only player to win a Triple Crown and hit .400 in the same season. He did it both times.
1933–both leagues had a Triple Crown winner (only time that’s happened). Chuck Klein won the NL Triple Crown for the seventh place Phillies, while Jimmie Foxx won the AL Triple Crown for the third place Athletics. As a bit of trivia, both Triple Crown winners played in Philadelphia.
1934–Lou Gehrig won the Triple Crown in one of the few years the Yankees didn’t finish first. They finished second.
1937–Joe Medwick won the last NL Triple Crown for the Cardinals. They rewarded him with a fourth place finish.
1942 and 1947–Ted Williams won the Triple Crown in both seasons. His Boston team finished second in ’42 and third in ’47.
1956–Mickey Mantle became the second Yankee Triple Crown winner and first Triple Crown winner to have his team (the Yankees) win the World Series.
1966–Frank Robinson became the second (with Baltimore). Robinson also became the first (and so far only) black player to win a Triple Crown.
1967 –Carl Yastrzemski won the Triple Crown with Boston, but the Red Sox lost the World Series in seven games to the Cardinals.
Pitching Triple Crown winners are both more common and have won more frequently. Here’s a list of the pitchers who won both the pitching Triple Crown and the World Series (1800s version or modern version): Tommy Bond in 1877 (there was no postseason play that season but Bond’s Boston team took first place in the regular season), Charles Radbourne in 1884, Tim Keefe in 1888, Christy Mathewson in 1905, Walter Johnson in 1924, Lefty Grove in 1930, Lefty Gomez in 1937, Hal Newhouser in 1945, Sandy Koufax in both 1963 and 1965.
All that indicates that winning a Triple Crown (either variety) is no predictor of success in the postseason. Still, I think I’d rather win one than not.
Last evening, Jose Valverde had a bad night. Actually he’s had a couple in a row and hasn’t been overly effective the entire season. What Jim Leyland does with him for the rest of the playoffs is unknown to me and last I checked Leyland wasn’t asking for my advice (Dump him, Jimmy). But I can empathize with Valverde. I’ve had bad days too.
Way back when I was in Little League baseball, they played it a bit differently. OK, they still used bats and ball, but the way the leagues were put together was different. Once you were on a team, you were there as long as you were eligible to play at the age level. There was no switching teams every year. That was good if you were on a decent team, bad if you were with a bunch of losers. Also you had four years at a particular age level instead of the current two years. The levels where I grew up were 6 year olds played t-ball, 7-10 were the next level, and 11-14 were the old guys. Basically, you spent the first year on a team as a scrub unless you were very good, started getting significant playing time your second season, then did most of the starting your last two years. Me? I could run and could catch most balls so I spent the first two seasons of the 11-14 league as the center fielder. Then it was over to first base for the final two years.
I was usually the leadoff hitter. I was quick enough, but mostly I had a good batting eye. I almost never struck out, had a good on base percentage (which is a stat I’d never heard about), and could swipe second and third with the best of them. We did well, coming in second or first all four years. But there was this one day I had my Valverde moment.
I was 12, we were the visitors, and I led off sure I could get on base against this kid who was pitching for the other team. We’d faced him before and I’d done well. I don’t remember the exact stat line, but I know I had hit off him. So up I came, Mr Confident. He tossed three balls right over the plate, I took one for a strike and swung and missed the other two. Out one. OK, it wasn’t a great way to start a game, but I would have other chances.
The problem was that for the next eight batters I was the only out. My teammates smoked the guy. We got six runs off him. So there were two men on base when I came up again. Here was the first of the other chances and by God, I wasn’t going to go down on strikes this time. So I swung at the first pitch, knocked it on a line right back to the pitcher for out number two. Fortunately the two guys on base were alert and neither was doubled up to end the inning.
Well, that was bad, but the inning was still alive. So my teammates teed off again, plating 8 more runs. With a runner on first, here I came again, your number one first class designated rally killer. The first pitch was a swinging strike. It was over for me. I took the next two, not really looking at them. So the inning ended with 14 runs, a ton of hits, a few walks, an error or two, and three outs by the leadoff hitter, me.
I ended up back in the dugout. I have no memory of actually walking over there, but my guess is I wasn’t carried. My coach? He was a genius. He immediately pulled me from the game. I was in such shock that I was of no use in either the field or at bat (at least the latter was sure). Odds are I would have stood in center field in utter shock and let God knows how many balls go over my head, to my left, or to my right without even moving. So I sat in the dugout for the rest of the game not really paying attention (we won on a mercy rule in four innings, I think). I was absolutely and completely sure that my world had just ended.
I got over it. We had a good season (finishing second), I continued to leadoff and never again made two, let alone three, outs in the same inning for the rest of the season. And more importantly, it didn’t hurt me. I grew up, got married to a wonderful woman, had a son, have grandchildren, and have frankly had a pretty successful life, even if I did make all three outs in one inning.
By the time my son started Little League they had changed the rule, limiting each team to a maximum of five runs per inning (it was a local rule, not a Little League sanctioned rule) which meant you could have a maximum of 10 batters an inning (five runs, three men on, two outs or four runs, three men on, three outs). That meant out of nine batters no one could make more than two outs in an inning. I used my three outs in one inning to remind players that they couldn’t, no matter how hard they tried, do worse in an inning than I did. It seemed to help some of them. It certainly got a few good giggles.
So if you’re ever coaching Little League (or managing Jose Valverde in the Majors) and one of your players screw up royally, feel free to use my story. Maybe it’ll help some kid. At least it should get you some laughs.
Back when my son was still pre-kindergarten we began a tradition. We had these magnets for all the teams in MLB and when the postseason started, we’d place the magnets for all the teams in the playoffs on the fridge then move the winner one spot over to show who was leading. When a team won its series we’d remove the loser and replace the winner at the edge of the fridge. We’d keep doing this until there were 2 teams left, then we’d do the same thing until a World Series winner was crowned. Then we’d retire the magnets until next season. My son is long gone from home now, but in his honor I still keep up the tradition. I haven’t updated the magnets, so when Washington won its division I was at a loss for a magnet. So I used the Expos magnet to represent Washington (after all they had once been in Montreal). It marks the first time I’ve used the Expos magnet, because the only time Montreal made the playoffs was before my son was born and before this tradition began.
The 1981 season is probably mostly remembered for the strike that wiped out a good deal of the middle of the season. But it’s also the only time Montreal played postseason games. When the strike ended, MLB leadership decided to play a “split season”. The idea was that the teams that were in first when the strike occurred (the Phillies and Dodgers in the National League) would be declared first half winners and the teams that did best after the strike would be declared second half winners. The Astros and Expos won the second half in the NL (while St. Louis had the best overall record in the NL East and Cincinnati the best record in the NL West, both missed the playoffs). Then the two division winners would face each other with the two champions fighting it out for the pennant.
It was the only Expos team to win a division title. Here’s a quick look at the starters. Warren Cromartie, Rodney Scott, Chris Speier, and Larry Parrish held down the infield first around to third. The outfield had Tim Raines, Hall of Famer Andre Dawson (before he got lost in the Wrigley Field ivy), and Tim Wallach from left to right. Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter backstopped, and Steve Rogers, Bill Gullickson, Scott Sanderson, and Ray Burris all started 20 or more games. The closer was Jeff Reardon (although Woddy Fryman had more saves). Terry Francona (yes, that Terry Francona) was a rookie and the fourth outfielder. Dawson finished second in home runs (and led the league in being hit by a pitch with 7) and Raines won the stolen base crown.
They took on Philadelphia in a best of five first round. After winning two in Montreal, they dropped the next two in Philly. In game five (also in Philly), Rogers outdueled Steve Carlton and Montreal won its first ever playoff series. Gary Carter was the hitting star with two home runs and a .431 average. On the other side of the bracket, Los Angeles beat Houston and the NLCS (a best of five that year) was set.
The first two games were at Dodger Stadium. LA won game one, but Montreal came back to earn a split. With the final three games in Montreal, the series became a best of three. Montreal won game three and LA took game four, making it one game for the pennant. It turned out to be a classic.
The Dodgers sent young phenom Fernando Valenzuela (remember him?) to the mound against Ray Burris. The Expos picked up a run in the first on a Raines double, a Scott sacrifie bunt, then a Dawson ground out plated Raines. The score held until the top of the fifth when Rick Monday led off with a single, went to third on another single, and, like Raines, came home on a ground out. That tied the game and ended the scoring through eight innings. Valenzuela was terrific. He gave up three hits, one walk, one earned run, and had six strikeouts through eight. Burris was equally good, giving up five hits, one walk, one earned run, and striking out one through eight. But in the bottom of the eighth, the Expos pinch hit for Burris. That brought ace Rogers in to pitch the ninth. He got the first two men out, which brought up Monday, the man who’d scored the only Dodgers run. On a 3-1 count, Monday launched a home run into the right field stands, putting LA ahead with three outs to go (It’s still known as the “Blue Monday” homer in Montreal.). Valenzuela got two of them, then walked consecutive batters. In came Bob Welch. He induced a second to first ground out to end the game, send the Dodgers to the World Series (which they won), and ending Montreal’s run.
They never got back to the playoffs. In 1994 they were in first place when the strike wiped out the rest of the season, including the World Series. So they finished first that year, but there was no postseason. In 2005, they moved to Washington and made the playoffs this season for the second time in franchise history. So whatever happens over the next three games, the Expos franchise has finally won for a second time.
… and last in the American League” (an old joke about the Washington Senators).
Something happened yesterday that I’d never seen. A baseball team from Washington participated in a postseason game. Actually two things happened that I’d never seen. The second? A baseball team from Washington won a postseason game. It’s unusual to see but it’s typical for the nation’s capital. You see, they’ve generally had a woeful franchise.
In 1901 the American League sent a franchise to Washington. They finished sixth. They stayed awful until 1912 when a pitcher named Walter Johnson hit his stride. They finally made a postseason in 1924, winning the World Series. They got back to the Series in 1925 and in 1933. They lost both. For the rest of their time in DC they finished in the first division four times. In 1961 they left Washington for Minnesota, where they’ve had sporadic luck. Like the team in DC, they’ve been to three World Series (1967, 1987, 1991) and managed to win twice (’87 and ’91). They’ve had a handful of other playoff appearances. So the franchise has done better in Minnesota than in Washington.
Baseball thought it was a good thing to have a team in DC, so when the Senators became the Twins, the powers that be stuck a new team in Washington and cleverly named it the Senators also. Well, it worked about as well as the old team (maybe it’s just that the baseball Gods don’t like the name “Senators”). They were so awful they only lasted a little over ten years before fleeing to Texas. As the Rangers they’ve made the playoffs a handful of times and managed to lose in the World Series twice. So again they’ve done better in Dallas than DC.
And now there’s a new team in Washington and it’s done something that hasn’t been done in 79 years. Son of a gun.
And BTW Ryan Mattheus becomes the first Washington pitcher since Walter Johnson to win a postseason game on the road.

It wasn't even a soft-shoe performance, as there were no shoes at all ... at least not on Bert Cooper, who famously eschewed shoes in the office. Mad Men sent Bert on his way this Sunday, in the mid-season finale that will have to do us for most of the next year. What a great way to have Robert Morse say goodbye: a song and a dance, and a wink.
I loved the scene. And, really, didn't the choice of song - The Best Things In Life Are Free - not only tip its hat to that episode's moon landing plot but more importantly to the very crux of the ending episodes, between material success and emotional happiness?
When last we saw Don Draper, he had impulsively got engaged, and was hurtling through the end of 1965 with little heed to the thoughts of those who knew him best and/or cared for him. There's still no word on when Season 5 will air; I wonder if that season will deal with the latter-Sixties crazy days in the ad business, as documented in a number of books about the industry and the era.
Can Don Draper, the quintessential self-reinvented man, change? We shall see.
I spotted this image here.
The legendary attention to detail in the production design and writing of Mad Men includes well-placed office bars, among other places to have, say, a martini or some scotch.
Vulture put together what you could a highlight reel of a drinking tour of the show.
... and wound up looking a bit like Hunter S. Thompson.
With a new season, the app gets an upgrade. More options and backgrounds, and more clothes to pick from ... still within the Sinatra-era look and feel. Tennis whites, even.
The book is now out in the States, with one of the fundamentals of rebranding: a makeover.
More of a Don Draper look, to be sure ... and I have to say I prefer it.
Those who watch Mad Men know that Don Draper is a self-made man ... or, rather, a self-invented one. A new game from the makers of the show should help stir the coffee pot leading up to the third season.
With Mad Men Yourself, you create our own avatar. That's me in the middle; I chose to put myself right in Sterling Cooper's austere Madison Ave. office. You can stylize your own look, and it probably says something that I chose things (jacket with elbow patches, for one) that I actually wear. Being light of hair - volume, not colour - I took advantage of the era and got a hat. For accessories, I picked a cup of coffee (duh) and a briefcase. Again, they work well in either era.
Apart from making a wallpaper-sized image, you can also export your avatar with the right sizes for Twitter, Facebook, etc. Have fun.

Late last month, HBO Go, MLB.TV, and Comcast Xfinity apps were launched on Xbox LIVE, making a wide array of additional TV content available on the platform to those with the appropriate subscriptions. However, on launch day, Comcast (and Time Warner) subscribers were unable to access the HBO Go content. While there’s no word on whether or not Time Warner users will ever be able to use HBO Go, the @Xbox account did tweet today that HBO Go is now available for Comcast Xfinity subscribers.
Now, one unfortunate thing about using the HBO Go app instead of the Xfinity app to view HBO content is that doing so will count towards your monthly broadband usage. The Xfinity app on the other hand is treated as another set-top box (without any accompanying fees, of course), and thus does not count towards data usage.
Both the Xfinity TV and HBO Go apps offer Kinect integrations. In the Xfinity app, you can use either voice control or your arms to navigate through the app. And in the HBO Go app, you can use your voicew to search through the catalogue of shows.
So, what are you waiting for? You can now watch Game of Thrones using either the Xfinity app or the HBO Go app, so get to watching!

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) today awarded approximately $15 million to select owners of HUD-assisted senior housing developments to help their low-income senior tenants to age in their own homes and delay or avoid the need for nursing home care. HUD will cover costs related to hiring a full-time Enhanced Service Coordinator and a part-time Wellness Nurse to connect the elderly with the supportive services they need to maintain independent living and age-in-place.
"It is so important that we afford our seniors the opportunity to live independently," said HUD Secretary Julián Castro. "These grants will help owners of HUD-assisted senior developments to offer the services that will allow seniors to remain in their homes for as long as they can."
preventing unnecessary and often costly health care utilization-such as some emergency room visits and hospitalizations-for residents in HUD-assisted senior developments.
HUD and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) collaborated on several research initiatives to inform the design of this demonstration. Lessons from each have informed the resulting experimental research design that has three significant features: 1) the creation of separate groups of enrolled properties: treatment and control; 2) the use of a lottery, or a random assignment, to place eligible properties in these two groups; and 3) the requirement to uniformly implement the demonstration’s core components and ensure adherence to the study design.

By January 2011 the steering committee had approved a preliminary concept for the building that was a jolt to prominent civic leaders outside City Hall. The Trahan concept called for a building encompassing almost 145,000 square feet and costing $30 million to construct.
In February, Trahan and the committee displayed the first drawings that described such a building but also suggested the construction costs had grown to $32 million.
Though the rising numbers were much discussed among EDC and Chamber of Commerce board members, most of whom knew each other by growing up in Owensboro or by serving on the region’s interlocking web of college, business, and non-profit boards, all understood the potential consequences of formally raising their concerns with Mayor Payne. In other words, how hard was Owensboro’s leadership loop willing to lean on the man currently sitting at its hub in order to compel him to blink?
It was a serious question. Payne had indicated to EDC board members, said several in interviews, that he was prepared to cut city funding to the Centre For Business and Research, a new business incubator overseen by the EDC that was producing new jobs and actively recruiting new tenants. He also put into play, but hadn’t acted on, an idea to increase the city’s room tax by three percent in order to fund a city-managed visitor and convention marketing office, a direct swipe at the existing convention and visitors bureau. Raising the room tax would make Owensboro’s hotel and motel tax the highest in the state.
At first, leaders tried a gentle, private, but insistent approach. Higginbotham placed a call, according to several EDC board members. So did several others. Payne, they reported back, was intent on building the center at the size Trahan proposed. Payne asserted that data Owensboro had amassed from the steering committee’s experts warranted such dimensions. The city’s consultant conducted a market study that found that Owensboro’s convention should measure 98,000 to 143,000 square feet.
The city, Payne predicted, would attract enough traffic to support a big riverfront-gathering place. Miller and other leaders disagreed. Her research, and interviews with convention and visitor bureau executives in and outside Kentucky, indicated that Trahan and Owensboro might be pursuing an outdated business plan. The total number of big conventions was declining. The convention business is highly competitive. Would Owensboro really succeed in filling such a big and expensive building, especially if it resulted in stripping out elements of the downtown development plan that would attract more visitors?

'Mood Indigo' Ellington was a master at creating an element of surprise in his compositions, and the unique instrumental voicing on this standard is an example of his subtle sophistication.
Recordings Used: Original 1931 recording of "Mood Indigo;" 1951 remake from the Sony album "Ellington Indigos"
Legendary big band leader and jazz pianist Duke Ellington.
Duke Ellington liked to give the impression that his every move came effortlessly. Here's how he claimed to have written "Mood Indigo."
"I wrote that in 15 minutes while I was waiting for my mother to finish cooking dinner. "
The tune that Ellington originally titled "Dreamy Blues" was first recorded on October 15th, 1930. The theme is an almost textbook exercise in subtle sophistication, and Ellington's voicings of the instruments that played it were nothing less than a radical new innovation. The blend of Arthur Whetsel's muted trumpet, "Tricky" Sam Nanton's trombone and Barney Bigard's clarinet created a distinctive melancholy. Composer and jazz educator David Baker explains one of the ways that Ellington broke new ground in music.
"Sometimes, to create surprise, he would take that sound that you expected to be in that instrument and put it in another instrument, and that's where the genius and magic comes. Well, for instance, the sound of "Mood Indigo" where everything's all upside-down, the lowest instrument is on the top. That's calculated."
"Mood Indigo" is credited to Duke Ellington, Barney Bigard and Ellington manager Irving Mills, who probably did nothing but get the song published. But writer and jazz historian Will Friedwald says someone else deserves credit for part of the melody.
"The derivation of the song supposedly, according to Barney Bigard, began with his clarinet teacher, Lorenzo Tio. Bigard told the story that Tio showed him some melodies he had been sketching. They weren't fully developed. And one of them was something that Bigard thought had some possibility. So he played around with it, he developed it and that was then presented to Ellington at a recording date and Ellington liked it and what he wound up doing was developing the part that had come from Bigard and from Tio."
That's the part where Barney Bigard's clarinet solo begins. And on top of that, Ellington wrote a whole other piece of music. What's remarkable is that it's almost impossible to tell where Ellington's part of the composition breaks off and his collaborator's part begins. Ellington was a master composer who wrote many of his classic compositions by himself, but he could also be inspired by pieces of melody brought to him by band members.
"Irving Drake described Ellington's orchestra as a musical kibbutz, in that it was this kind of collective. There were, say, you know, five or six really talented composers apart from Ellington in that orchestra and often, you know, they worked with Ellington in developing his tunes and he would work on developing things that they came up with, and there was a lot of back and forth in it. To a great degree, they were credited and compensated and to a certain degree, they were not."
Incidentally, one name that gets lost in the credits for "Mood Indigo" besides Lorenzo Tio is lyricist Mitchell Parish, best remembered as Hoagy Carmichael's collaborator on "Stardust." Parish put words to "Mood Indigo" in the 1940s, and Ella Fitzgerald had one of her biggest hits with it in 1958.
By then, Duke, who could spin great stories as easily as he wrote hit tunes, had been regaling reporters for years with his own version of the tale. He said: "Mood Indigo" is just a story about a little girl and a little boy. They are about eight and the girl loves the boy. They never speak of it, of course, but she just likes the way he wears his hat. Every day he comes to her house at a certain time and she sits in her window and waits. Then one day he doesn't come. "Mood Indigo" just tells how she feels.
Duke Ellington's band was on the road almost 300 nights a year for more than four decades. And even a band that saw many personnel changes could get awfully tired of playing one of their greatest hits night after night. But Duke had several ways of heading off boredom and nipping any possibility of a perfunctory performance in the bud.
"He kept them fresh by constantly rewriting them, by finding new ways to play them," Mr. Friedwald says. "Every few years or so, he would come up with a new arrangement of 'Mood Indigo' or any one of the major tunes. So they never did sound like they were just running through, you know, an old hackneyed thing. He would always keep it fresh and lively and musically valid."
Duke Ellington is often called the first jazz composer, but he hated the word `jazz,' which has its origin in bawdy street slang. Besides, Ellington resisted any attempt to pigeonhole his compositions.
When Ellington gave praise to any art or artist, he usually described them as being, quote, "beyond category." That could be said for almost everything Duke Ellington ever wrote, but especially about "Mood Indigo."

Just in time for allergy season, allergy medicine company Zyrtec has launched an Alexa skill that shares the daily pollen count for the user’s location. The Zyrtec AllergyCast skill can also over time tell users which forms of pollen they are most sensitive too. The skill does this by asking how the person is feeling each day and records which pollen counts were high. Over time, Alexa will be able to alert you as to which pollens impact your well-being the most.
I tried the skill and it was easy to set up. After enabling the skill by saying “Alexa, ask Zyrtec” she asked me for my city and state and then gave the day’s pollen count and weather. She also asked if I was feeling good or bad to begin collecting data on which pollens I’m most sensitive to. Zyrtec has a proprietary algorithm that it uses to calculate a person’s “Allergy Impact” score based on how they’re feeling. While this feature wasn’t developed explicitly for Alexa, it seems like a natural next step for the company to offer it on a voice-first platform. Now in addition to checking your calendar, the news and weather in the morning, you can also determine how the pollen count will make you feel on any given day.
Similar to other brands that have created useful Alexa skills, Zyrtec isn’t using the platform to explicitly sell its product. However being on the Amazon platform does make it easier for users to order the allergy medicine. After hearing a dire pollen count, how easy would it be for the user to ask Alexa to also order Zyrtec? Pretty easy.
By using the skill as a tool to help seasonal allergy sufferers, Zyrtec seems like a brand they can trust which can only help sales overall. And, it gives the company the ability to provide a one-on-one, personalized experience for its consumers. Think of it as daily alone time. Isn’t that what every brand wants to have with its customer base?
iRobot’s Stock is Up. Can Alexa Take Credit?

Euroscience Open Forum 2012: Is the future of mathematics medieval?
Is mathematics more than just a single subject and what do we lose by teaching it in isolation? Ireland’s medieval heritage can provide tantalising hints at the answer. It suggests that mathematics is more a way of thinking that has applications from art and astronomy, to music and geometry. Moreover mathematical skills were considered intrinsic to intellectual, literary and artistic expression.
Ireland has a rich tradition of scientific endeavour, yet today uptake of mathematics is dismal. Does this suggest that the complex mathematical skills found in Irish monastic schools should be considered as a way forward for modern teaching?
The panel will argue that medieval education is relevant today. Indeed Dan Shechtman’s Nobel Prize-winning work on quasicrystals has connections to Kepler’s 16th Century work on Platonic solids and Fibonacci’s 13th Century aperiodic number sequences.

In this week’s parasha, parashat Shemini, we encounter Moses and Aaron on the eve of one of the most joyous days for the Jewish people. The construction of the Mishkan–the Tabernacle, had been completed, and the investiture of the priests–Aaron and his sons, was about to take place.
The inauguration of the priests was a complex, but majestic, process. A series of representative sacrifices were brought: a he-goat for a sin offering, a calf and a sheep for an elevation offering, and a bull and a ram for a peace offering. These various animals were to represent atonement for the Golden Calf, as well as commitment to leadership, eternal freshness, and resolve to work actively on behalf of G-d. The meal offerings that were brought together with the animal offerings were a means of “praying” for economic well-being.
After having completed his first day of performing the sacrificial service, Aaron blessed the people by reciting the priestly blessing for the first time. He raised his hands, as is the custom of priests today, and pronounced the tripartite blessing.
After this, Scripture, in Leviticus 9:23, informs us: “Va’yah’vo Moshe v’Aharon el oh’hel mo’ayd,” Moses and Aaron came into the Tent of Meeting. Our rabbis ask why was it necessary for them to enter the Tent of Meeting? Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, 1040-1105, foremost commentator on the Bible) quoting the Sifra, offers two explanations. He suggests that Moses went into the sanctuary with Aaron in order to teach Aaron how to perform the incense ceremony that was to take place on the golden altar. A second explanation cited by Rashi is that Aaron was upset that, despite all of Aaron’s efforts and preparations, the Shechina–the Divine presence, had not rested upon the Mishkan–the Tabernacle. Blaming himself, Aaron maintained that the Shechina was avoiding him because of his role in the sin of the Golden Calf. Immediately, Moses entered the Tent of Meeting and, together with Aaron, prayed for G-d’s mercy. Soon after, the Shechina appeared and rested upon the Mishkan.
Students of the bible often ask themselves what is the reason for the Torah’s use of a particularly unusual word or phrase. Our verse in Leviticus 9:23 states: “Va’yah’vo Moshe v’Aharon” and Moses and Aaron “came” to the Tent of Meeting. The verse could have simply stated that they “entered” the tent of meeting. What is the point of emphasizing that they “came”–as if to underscore the process of walking? Rashi points out “Mah ye’ree’dah may’ayn ah’vodah, ahf bee’ah may’ayn ah’voh’dah,” just as descending (from the altar) is related to the sacred service, so too, is “coming” related to the sacred service.
Because of the importance of the inauguration of the Tabernacle and the investiture of the priests into the service of the Tabernacle for the very first time, every textual detail describing the ceremonies is magnified and analyzed with intense scrutiny. But it was not only at the inauguration of the Tabernacle and the investiture of the priesthood that “descending” and “coming” played a critical role. In fact, at all future services, approaching the Tabernacle and walking down from the altar were considered integral parts of the sacred service, not to be treated lightly.
It is at such times, when we are filled with mental fatigue or physical inertia, that we reflect upon our labors, and suddenly recognize their importance. It may be that we are expected to teach a class or participate in a prayer service or attend a significant business meeting. So we quickly readjust our mental attitudes, and somehow summon the strength to make our way to our appointed destinations. Eventually, we arrive and do our “thing.” Yet, we usually give little thought to those little footsteps that were necessary to transport us to that destination. It is here in parashat Shemini, that the Torah informs us that we need to appreciate those seemingly inconsequential footsteps. The Torah, in effect, teaches that walking toward the mitzvah or toward the goal is really part of the actual mitzvah and an integral part of the goal. I would even be so bold to say that shlepping one’s body to shul when not in the mood, is actually part of the prayer itself. Even if you come and sit like a zombie at the service–it counts! Every step that is taken is important and valued in G-d’s eyes.
The Torah teaches us that those little efforts are of real significance, since they are the ones that make the big accomplishments possible. These little efforts are extremely valuable and must be regarded for what they are–an essential part of the sacred or valued goal. Those little steps are not small stuff. They are the fundamental building blocks of the big stuff, and are to be regarded with the utmost respect and value.

I have finally managed to finish the garment that I had to track down extra wool to complete. (See my post “I Should Know Better By Now”.) It has definitely been a mission, but I think it has been worth it.
As I have already mentioned, I started out this project by having to undo my first attempt at knitting the back. By the time I had done about six inches it became apparent that the finished garment would not be big enough. It was then that I checked the tension and discovered that I needed to use needles a size bigger than those recommended by the pattern, and also use the instructions for the next size up.
I had hoped that things would be a bit more straight forward once the initial problems had been sorted out, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. It turned out to be one of those projects where niggly little things just kept going wrong. There were a number of smaller “unpullings” as well as the previously described obtaining of another hank of wool.
I definitely needed the extra hank as the collar used almost all of it. All the leftover pieces together probably total about four metres. I managed to get the garment joined together without too many issues, which only left the purchase of an appropriate button.
The button turned out to be the final slight frustration. I managed to leave the garment at home when I went out to purchase the button. I decided to go ahead anyway, and ended up bringing home three to choose from. Fortunately one of them was exactly what I had hoped for.
I am very pleased that the vest is finally finished, and also very pleased with the end result. My next goal is to get the Mermaid’s Tail finished so that I can move on to some of my experimental projects.

Russia’s Ministry for Foreign Affairs reacted to the death of the head of the People’s Republic of Donetsk, Alexander Zakharchenko, who was killed as a result of explosion in Donetsk on August 31.
Maria Zakharova, an official representative for the Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation, believes that the Kiev authorities were behind Zakharchenko’s murder.
In her opinion, Ukraine wants to proceed to a «bloody massacre» in the Donbass, rather than implement the Minsk Accords.
«There is every reason to believe that the Kiev regime is behind his murder. This regime has repeatedly used similar methods to eliminate dissidents and disloyal individuals. Instead of implementing the Minsk agreements and finding ways to resolve the internal conflict, the Kiev war party is implementing the terrorist scenario, exacerbating the already complicated situation in the region. They have not kept their promises of peace and apparently decided to proceed to a bloody massacre,» Zakharova said.
«The world community should demand, and, considering the puppet system of Ukraine’s political system, control the impartial investigation into the crime that was committed in front of civilians,» she said.
Alexander Zakharchenko, the head of the breakaway People’s Republic of Donetsk, was killed in an explosion that ripped through «Separatist» cafe in the center of Donetsk on August 31. He died of his injuries at hospital.

As the summer season begins, you may be more motivated now than ever before to stick to weight loss diet plans. After all, the warm weather is the time to be seen with bare arms and legs while you sport those shorts and swimsuits. You can no longer hide in a sweater or bulky jacket and are ready to feel confident in your own skin.
Fortunately, there are a variety of healthy summer diet plans that can help you lose weight and boost your self-esteem while enjoying time at the beach, barbecues, and outdoor gatherings this summer. Read on to learn more about the diet plans at Total HealthcareMD that can make your summer weight loss goals a real reality.
Many weight loss patients who are on a mission to lose weight this summer will turn to a one-size-fit-all plan that encourages everyone to eat the same type of foods and follow the same exercise regimen to lose weight. Unfortunately, those who opt for one of these cookie cutter diet plans almost always experience short term success or no results at all.
For a diet and weight loss plan to be effective and provide long-term results, you need to stay true to a custom diet plan that is ideal for your previous diet history, mental and physical health, work schedule, likes, dislikes, susceptibility to hormonal eating changes, and more. At Total HealthcareMD, a registered dietician will meet with you for a consultation that will reveal which type of diet program is right for you.
Once you’ve met your goals, the next step will be to continue to maintain a healthy weight and good lifestyle habits. Indirect calorimetry, which is a type of sophisticated technology that was previously only available at hospitals, can accurately calculate your metabolism so that you understand how many calories you should be eating each day. It is an important aspect of our weight loss plans because it will make it possible for you to stay fit and confident long after the summer is over.
If you’re interested in a summer diet program that will give you long lasting results, the weight loss experts at Total HealthcareMD can help. Our medically supervised weight loss diet plans will target your particular needs and give you the knowledge and resources to achieve long-term weight loss that will help you live a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life. Contact us today to get started on a summer diet plan.

In my dreams....The SLC would go from 9 to 8 conference games and we would use the extra game in our OOC schedule for Home-away match ups with Schools from other FCS conferences.
A regular Home-away series with in-state SWAC teams for starters, unless Prairie View could be persuaded to join the SLC.
During ACU’s transition from D2 we played Illinois State away. It would be nice to bring the Redbirds to Abilene.
We played Northern Arizona at home. A game in Flag would be great.
I’d love to see us play a game a year against a private from another conference such as Mercer, Furman, Elon Wofford, Charleston Southern, San Diego, or Georgetown.
We would limit money games to one per year, except perhaps in 12 game seasons. Two money games in an eleven game season hurts our chances of going to the playoffs.
vs Drake (I want them on a 2/1/1 rotation. So over 4 years twice in CF, once in DSM and one year off. Their off year replace them with Valpo, or another generic NEC, PFL, etc buy game?
Buy game vs a lower to mid end "power conference" team. Say UNC, Idaho State, EIU, etc.
In a 12 game season a road game vs a decent opponent isn't a horrible idead, maybe as the front end of a h/h, or another cheaper buy game.

POST SEASON:....1-10.....GANGTACKLE [email protected] MALL........GT-11 CATCHES SNIPPETS UH HENS [email protected] SHACK..........BRAWK!
LOL. au contraire Foghorn. Recent history has it 11-0.....Bring back Brock chants in the Tub start this year!!
- one that is either part of a H&H against a full-scholarship FCS team...EIU, SEMO, Murray State...or another home game against maybe a SWAC team.
We're not really in a position to be buying many home games at this point though...hence all the H&H's on our actual schedule.

On November 14, my in-laws’ golden retriever had her 3rd litter of goldendoodles, and they are as cute as can be! I love watching the puppies be born, open their eyes a couple weeks later, grow up, and go to their own loving homes. Willow, their golden retriever, had 13 puppies this time around, all with their own unique and adorable personalities and looks.
The puppies are just over seven weeks old now and are all about to go to their new homes within the next couple of weeks. It’s always sad to see them go, but I love seeing the joy these smart, cute, and hypoallergenic dogs bring to families!
I thought I’d share some pictures we took with a few of the puppies from this litter! Check out goldendoodlesoftheozarks.com or find Goldendoodles of the Ozarks on Facebook for more information on Willow’s precious puppies.

roll call on brands of pellet grill | Page 10 | Smoking Meat Forums - The Best Barbecue Discussion Forum On Earth!
Discussion in 'Pellet Smokers Group' started by show me smoke, May 6, 2013.
I just ordered a Pellet Pro 1190 stainless. I had been looking for a while. What sold me was their true PID controller. Bad thing is I have to wait a few weeks since they are on backorder. Can't wait!
Bought this Pit Boss last week. Already beer canned two birds. Looking for a meat supplier in S/W MI. for better cuts then what you fined in a grocery store.
I'm sold on this P.B. w/ a 5 year warranty.
Rec Tec Trailblazer for me. Just the right size and seems like better quality than most other smaller pellet grills. I'll be doing a lot of mods and will try to post progress.
I have a Camp Chef DLX24, Daniel Boone GMG and Brinkman Smoker Grill (for cold smoking). Love my pellet smokers.
RecTec Stampede. The PID controller, build quality, materials and customer service reputation all at this price point was what did it for me.
Only "regret", if I can even call it that, is that I "should" have gone ahead and bought the Bull, but I have two other smokers, a Kamado Joe and a WSM, and really don't "need" the extra grill space though it would have been nice to have because this thing does everything those two do, except sear a sous vide steak like the Kamado Joe, and it does it on automatic pilot.
Being able to put a pork shoulder on it at some time between 11:30-midnight, and then turning in for the night and not worrying about a thing, is huge.
Rec Tec RT 700 Bull. only 6 months on pellet smoking but loving it! was an a 14" WSM for years. learned a lot, but man pellet smoking is nice!

In the early days of search engine marketing, the keyword epidemic hit and stuck. Despite several algorithm updates from Google and all the talk of content relevancy, many organizations are still hung up on keywords as the main focus of their content generation. For content generation services, this is a nightmare, with clients demanding that a handful of keywords should be squeezed into even the smallest piece of text. Not only does forcing keywords into content lead to poor-quality reads, if any, but it does not truly leverage how a search engine will see your website and rank it on the results pages (SERPs).
Will Predictive Search Make Keywords Less Important?
In our world of SEO and content writing, we are hearing a lot these days about "predictive search", "contextual search" and other similar applications / developments that are taking web search to a whole new level of personalization.

Hay Is the Hay Okay For Piggies to Eat?
Hay: Is the Hay Okay For Piggies to Eat?
Thread: Is the Hay Okay For Piggies to Eat?
Is the Hay Okay For Piggies to Eat?
My coworker gave me some hay that's been sitting in his house from when his family had guinea pigs. I don't remember how long he has had the hay but I do remember him telling me that someone else was supposed to come get it 2 weeks ago but never did. Originally his family was going to give it to a small animal shelter but kindly let me have it after learning I have guinea pigs of my own.
I've noticed the hay strand were a bit longer than what I'm used to and just wanted to get a second opinion about it and if it's okay for my guinea pigs to eat. The bag reads Oxbow and that's the brand I've always feed my guinea pigs. I usually order my timothy hay on Petsmart and buy the 90oz bag size.
Here's pictures of how the hay look like.
Re: Is the Hay Okay For Piggies to Eat?
See if you can find an expiration date on the package. Hay will hold almost all of its nutritional value for two years, so if it's no older than that, it should be OK.
I checked the bag and the expiration date said March 22, 2018. So would it still be good till 2020? Also, is there a reason why the strand is a lot longer than the ones I get at the pet store? I’ve ordered Timothy hay 50lbs on PetSmart last year and the strand weren’t long like the one in the bag here.
Yes it would still be good until march 2020.
The strands length is simply from when it was harvested, how long it was when it was cut and how the farmer cut it. Hay can vary a lot from season to season and from one farm to another, even the different cuts in the same season from the same farm are different when it comes to timothy.
It'll be good after March, 2020. Hay loses less than 5% of its nutritional value in two years, so it's not like it's going to go bad by April, 2020.

Time again for the fabulous Friday Fictioneers. A 100 words of fiction based around the photo prompt provided. The most fun you can have with your clothes on….
The headlights in front blurred. The wipers useless against the deluge, as bullets of water pummelled the roof, echoing round the cab.
Nothing but static on the radio………..
The rain eased. He could hear his breathing again. A single bead of sweat teased down his back, pooling at the base of his spine.
Clammy hands gripped the steering-wheel.
Twisting the dial again…. still nothing….
He folded the paper, smiled and ordered another margarita.
Another Friday, another Friday Fictioneers. A 100 words (approx) of fiction based on the photo prompt provided. My inspiration this week comes from the film ‘Philomena’. I only watched it this week and it’s still floating about in my head.
I remember tiny moments of hope that lit up the darkness, pockets of familiarity that happened by chance. In the distance, beyond the gate; the rumble of a truck or the anxious tap of heels rushing past the walls. Somehow, in those moments, the air always seemed a little lighter, its hold a little looser.
But between the laundry and the chores, the prayers and penitation, those moments never lingered, they just bled away quietly through a river of dirty water.
Now I’m on the outside looking in, only its empty shell remains. And I’m still searching for that hope and the child they took away.
A little bit of excitement has warmed my dreary September eve. One of my poems has been included in an exhibition called ‘All We Are Saying‘ (Artists for Peace) at Sunderland Minster. I’m delighted to be part of it, even if only in a small way.
I’ve done very little writing for quite a while now and have missed my usual fixes. But now the storms seem to be passing and life is getting back on an even keel, so here’s to being back in the saddle. What better way than the fabulous ‘Friday Fictioneers’. A 100 words of fiction to blow away the cobwebs.
She looked up and met his gaze. For a second, seeing a glimmer, something beyond the emptiness. But then just as quick it was gone. What was left, chilled her blood. She lowered her eyes and pulled her shawl tighter.
Biting down the promise fighting in her chest she plucked another feather from the still warm carcass. Soon. Soon she’d be free. The boat was half wrecked, but half a hope was better than no hope at all.

Companies are aware of open-innovation’s high stakes but few possess the tools to encourage the know-how of collaborators and creativity of consumers.

Two years ago, Wang Fei was a typical middle school student - an aspiring fashionista, who enjoyed Korean movies and hanging out with friends.
Fast forward to today, and the 20-year old police officer at the Mukang border checkpoint in Mangshi city, Yunnan province, has taken a crash course in drug law enforcement, covering everything from vehicle inspections to apprehending suspects.
The worst part of her job used to be performing cavity searches and extracting drugs swallowed by "mules".
"The first time I did one, I couldn't eat for two days. I even vomited several times a few days later. I never thought I would be put on the frontline and expected to do such a tough job just a few months after being recruited," she said. "I asked myself some tough questions and even thought about quitting, but the thought of the urgent cases at Mukang encouraged me to continue with my 'mission'."
Wang's role model is Su Dan, a former officer at the checkpoint who seized 15 kilograms of drugs during her first year in the force.
"I trained harder and accepted tougher assignments after I discovered what my predecessors had been through and the things they achieved. Now, I'm capable of disassembling a truck for a drug examination," she said.
"The most difficult of part of my job isn't limited to drug inspections anymore. I could hardly bear the moment last year when I had to arrest a drug-trafficking mother, who had her child with her. She knelt and begged me to let her go because she was only carrying a small amount of heroin, and because her child was so young. I had to arrest her, though. If I hadn't, more families could have been destroyed by drugs."
