NL Best & Worst Hitters Home & Away
I know it is not a revelation, but there is no National League hitting equivalent of Miguel Cabrera.
NL Home and Away stars
The closest we can find in terms of home and away hitting in the NL, is the Brewers Carlos Gomez who is hitting .362 in Milwaukee and .378 away from home.
Next among the elite NL home and away batters are the Dodgers' Adrian Gonzalez who is hitting .345 in LA and .345 on the road and Yadier Molina hitting .333 in St. Louis and .324 on the road.
Home bodies
The top three hitters at home in the NL are:
- The Reds' Shin-Soo Choo hitting .414 in Cincy (.254 on the road).
- Rockies teammates Michael Cuddyer and Troy Tulowitzki are hitting .408 and .390 respectively in Colorado
Road Warriors
We expect, and understand, hitting success in Colorado which is what makes Wilin Rosario's .417 road batting average, the best in the NL, fascinating. But what makes it truly amazing is that he is only hitting .184 at Coors.
The guys who prefer the road to hit are:
- Chris Johnson is hitting .387 away from Atlanta.
- Paul Goldschmidt is hitting .386 away from Arizona.
- Joey Votto is hitting .368 away from Cincinnati.
- Starling Marte is hitting .353 away from Pittsburgh.
Equal opportunity batter
Jean Segura is hitting .333 at home/.333 on the road. Segura is the only NL batter within four points on his home and away averages.
Some numbers of note
- Adam LaRoche is hitting .091 in Washington, the worst home batting average in the NL.
- Rickie Weeks is hitting .095 away from Milwaukee, the worst road batting average in the NL.
- B.J. Upton is hitting .133 in Atlanta and .159 away.
- Ike Davis is hitting .176 in New York and .167 away.
- Matt Kemp is hitting .189 in LA and .328 away.
- Lucas Duda is hitting .200 in New York and .308 away.
- Andrew McCutchen is hitting .316 in Pittsburgh and .182 away.
- Jimmy Rollins is hitting .275 in Philly and .185 away.
- Alfonso Soriano is hitting .333 in Chicago and .200 away.
- Jedd Gyorko is hitting .333 in San Diego and .203 away.
- Buster Posey is hitting .360 in San Francisco and .204 away.
- Starlin Castro is hitting .329 in Chicago and .224 away.
- David DeJesus is hitting .347 in Chicago and .224 away.
- Carl Crawford is hitting .377 in LA and .241 away.
- Bryce Harper is hitting .370 in Washington and .255 away.
- Pete Kozma is hitting .216 in St. Louis and .297 away.

Proper authority and market monitoring and mitigation could make the system work.
In the last few years we have watched...
Two Cato analysts suggest a return to the past-vertical integration, but now with no state regulators.
The defeat of the energy bill in the Senate last year has thrown electricity restructuring back on its heels. There clearly is no consensus among politicians or academics regarding how this industry ought to be organized or how it might best be regulated. Finding our way out of this morass requires a reconsideration of how we got to this dismal point in our regulatory journey. Doing so suggests a surprising series of conclusions about what has gone wrong and where to go from here.
The Case for Restructuring
What, in theory, are we supposed to get out of restructuring? From an economics standpoint, there were two major problems associated with the old system.
First, because investment in capital received a guaranteed return, total generation investment was excessive and skewed toward capital-intensive facilities. Couple that with the one-time enthusiasm for nuclear power (once thought of as a progressive energy source that would be "too cheap to meter") and the growing hostility to coal-fired generation, and it's no surprise that some states moved strongly toward nuclear-with costs generally much higher than antici-pated. 1 Introducing market forces into the utility industry would eliminate the bias for capital-intensive projects by introducing uncertainty about returns.
Second, prices for electricity did not serve their usual role of signaling to consumers the marginal costs of additional consumption. Instead, they served solely as a device to recover costs. Thus, electricity prices were wrong all the time. They were too low on peak and too high off peak. Market forces, it was hoped, would introduce marginal-cost pricing and as a result reduce peak demand, increase off-peak demand, 2 and reduce the needless political fighting (most notably, the eternal fight over more supply versus less demand) that inevitably arises in electricity markets because of the absence of prices as a signaling device.
Average voters and the politicians that listen to them, however, do not associate markets in electricity with positive outcomes. Accordingly, anyone who believes market forces ought to play a larger role in electricity must argue convincingly that:
- The California meltdown and the Northeast blackout were not the result of market forces;
- The low costs of the states still under the old regulatory regime are not the result of regulation; and
- Efficiency improvements not possible in the regulated would take place in a truly deregulated world.
The California Story
During 2000 and 2001, a large supply reduction in hydropower and weather-related demand increases (a hot summer and very cold winter) increased electricity and natural gas prices in California. Those price increases were exacerbated by NO x air pollution regulations in the Los Angeles basin, some design features of the California auction bidding system, and retail price controls.
The price controls were particularly harmful; they encouraged generators to price high because there would be no reduction in demand as a consequence of their pricing behavior. Moreover, retail price controls prevented utilities from passing on their higher costs to consumers, which caused the utilities to suffer

I'm sorry @butterflykisses! That is one of the worst feelings.
I received some not great news at the dr. yesterday and am feeling really sad and frustrated today. Maybe I'll post more after work. Fingers crossed for all the rest of you ladies this month!"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."

Looks like a disappointing day for three of us. My husband's back still has him darn near immobilized, which would suck at any time but particularly sucks during ovulation week. He went to work today for the first time since Friday, but still isn't really feeling better. We suspect a slipped disc, though his doctor thinks it's muscular. (My husband's sister is a PA in neurosurgery, and she says slipped disc; she tends to be right about everything.) I really can't tell which specific day I'm ovulating, or even narrow it down to two or three days, so I have no idea how this month is going to work. We have managed to try twice, when he has had a lull in the pain, but that may be it for this month. I hate to see him in so much pain, and the clash with ovulation week just doubles the misery. Somehow he is able to laugh through it and make jokes about his condition. He's such a goof.
@butterflykisses, I totally get you. It sucks so badly. I swear I literally grieve when AF comes.
@megmarie, I don't want to pry, but I'm sorry for whatever bad news you received today. I hope it isn't something serious. Keep us posted as much as you are comfortable.
March 6th, 2013 06:33 PM #285
Thanks @alzora. My doctor just told me that if nothing happens in the next two cycles then we will have to do an IUI and my husband would need to start getting his sperm tested, etc. She said that the Clomid is working but we have a couple of obstacles that need to be sorted out in a really short amount of time. It is so frustrating to hear that the Clomid is working but now new issues arise. IDK, I guess I am just really disheartened. I know it isn't the end of the world by any means, I was just really hopeful that Clomid would do the trick. I do know that I need to keep a good mindset because IT CAN STILL HAPPEN in the next two months!!! Maybe I'm the little engine that could Hopefully tomorrow I will wake up with positive thoughts and heck, I COULD be pregnant right now!
Does anyone know how much an IUI costs? I mean, I have good insurance but is that even covered with most plans?"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
Dalai Lama
March 6th, 2013 06:51 PM #287
Oh! And, @alzora, have you considered using an OPK kit to test if when you're ovulating? It is so helpful and super worth the $20. It takes some of the stress out of it for me. It is as easy as peeing on a stick every morning...and let's face it, we all really gotta pee when we first wake up anyway, so it just works straight into your schedule"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."

March 6th, 2013 07:29 PM #289
I don't know how much IUI costs-- I don't know how much anything costs, which is a large problem in modern American medicine-- but it is an incredibly easy and low-tech procedure. It will only significantly aid things if the problem is poor sperm motility/count, or abnormally thick cervical mucus not responsive to the usual hormonal changes.
Many couples have combined male and female factor infertility. Anovulation is a much bigger problem than anything sperm-related, so be glad that's sorted out with the Clomid.Blade, MD

It came out at 21-22 WPI, a very respectable laceweight. I dutifully recorded both weight and length and then promptly lost the scrap of paper. I know the larger skein was somewhere around 360 metres so I figure I have more than enough for a lace scarf but not enough for a shawl.
Some day I would like to have enough of this stuff to roll around naked in. It's that good.

A-Z Health Topics

Healthful Eating for Teens on the Run
The Basics
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Legumes (beans, peas, peanuts)
- Non-fat dairy products (eg, fat-free, unflavored milk)
- Nuts and seeds (cashews, almonds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds)
- Whole grains, such as brown rice, whole-wheat breads, and oatmeal
- Healthy fats, such as the unsaturated fats in oils, fish, avocados, and nuts
- Lean sources of protein, such as lean meats, low-fat dairy products, soy products, and beans
Tips for Improving Teens' Eating Habits
Don't Skip Breakfast
- Offer granola bars, bananas, and other breakfast foods that can be eaten on the bus or in the car.
- Keep it simple. Include a protein, complex carbohydrate, and a fruit: cereal with milk and fruit or a bagel with peanut butter and an apple to eat on the way to school.
- Make your own "fast food." Bake fruit and oatmeal bars with your teen on the weekend so they'll be ready to grab during the week.
- Get creative. Pretty much any food can be a breakfast food: leftovers from last night's dinner, a sandwich, cottage cheese and fruit, or whatever your kid will eat.
Encourage Teens to Try New Foods
- Bring them grocery shopping and have them pick some new foods for your family to try.
- Encourage the whole family to try a new fruit or vegetable each week, such as papaya, mango, or spaghetti squash.
- Try ethnic cuisines—Thai, Mexican, Moroccan, Spanish, Japanese, etc.
Mix Favorite Foods With Not-So-Favorite Foods
- Stock your pantry with a variety of cereals—some high-fiber choices and some lower-fiber, high-sugar cereals that teens tend to favor. Suggest that your teen combine a high-fiber cereal with their usual cereal for their morning bowl. They'll still taste the sweetness and get some extra nutrients.
- Encourage kids to add sliced fresh fruit (blueberries, bananas, or strawberries) or dried fruit (raisins, dried cranberries, dried dates) to a bowl of cereal.
- Smoothies are popular among teens. Make these drinks with skim milk or 100% juice, frozen yogurt, and fruit.
- Stir-fry fresh or frozen vegetables in olive oil and toss them with pasta and tomato sauce.
- Add sesame seeds, fruit, raisins, scallions, or other nontraditional salad ingredients to liven up a green salad.
- Stuff sandwiches with cucumber and tomato slices, lettuce or spinach leaves, and sprouts, and use smaller amounts of meat and cheese.
Involve Teens in Planning and Preparing Meals
- Plan a few nights each week (as many as possible) that the whole family can have dinner together.
- Assign your teen one night of the week to plan dinner. Help him with the preparations as needed. Assign smaller tasks on the other nights.
- Provide refrigerated pizza dough, low-fat cheese, tomato sauce, and fresh or sauteed vegetables, and let your teen be the pizza chef.
- Bring them grocery shopping and have them select foods for lunches.
Tailor Meal Times to Energy Needs
- For kids with sports or jobs after school, provide them with a hearty snack, such as a peanut butter sandwich and an apple, to eat before heading off to practice or work.
- If extracurricular activities interfere with dinner time, have leftovers ready when your teen gets home.
- Make healthy entrées on the weekend and freeze them in individual containers that can be thawed and heated for quick dinners during the week.
- Keep the kitchen, school locker, and backpack well-stocked with healthy snacks.

Hey! Whataya get when you cross a pop hit by the Fresh Prince's 10-year-old daughter with an indie-noise supergroup (featuring members of the Mae Shi, XBXRX, Robotanists, Robin Williams On Fire, and Signals) and some not-for-the-weak-stomached, Andrew WK-esque bloody special FX? Why, you get "Whip My Hair (Drowned In Blood)," of course.
The original is the massively popular "Whip My Hair" by Willow Smith, of course, and the supergroup in question covering the song is L.A.'s own Skull Tape, who are led by the Mae Shi's Brad Breeck and cite (the rather un-Willowy) Sparks, Iron Maiden, Wipers, and YMO as musical influences. Their debut, Invisible Hand And The Descent Of Man, is out April 12, and indie-rock fans will surely be whipping their hair, or maybe their skulls, when that fine day arrives.
We'd suggest Skull Tape challenge Willow to a rap battle to see who whips it best...but honestly, we'd fear for that poor girl's life. Skull Tape are not for kids.

Maybe a silly question, but did you prime it?
Hi all,
Anyone see the problem here! I have tried everything but nothing seems to work. Maybe the pump is not strong enough?
Maybe a silly question, but did you prime it?
Yes Primed it several times, even went as far to add a ballcock valve at center of hose where a garden hose could be attached and water pushed through the pipe until primer at pump was overflowing. when we switched pump on it sucked for a bit but then nothing!
If there are any joints on the suction side I would start there. Any air/suction leak will do it.
Use a submersible and you will never have priming issues or a pump not strong enough.
Thanks cacher_chick, I think I may have spotted a suction leak at the pump itself! cheap china plastic intake nozzle grrrr I'll call into the local fittings store and buy a brass nozzle instead.
Yes LLigetfa, I soon realized I made a huge blunder in my purchase of this type of pump, submersible is they way to go

Will UM scandal cost president her job?by Opinion Staff
University of Miami President Donna Shalala has appeared only once in public this week since the report on Yahoo! Sports that a UM booster and Bernie Madoff-Mini Me had given improper benefits to athletes – mostly football players – from 2002 until 2010. And when Dr. Shalala did pop up to issue a statement calling for patience, she looked like she he had just gone through a two-a-day practice with the players who surely will suffer from what happened over the last decade.
Indeed, there's already talk that if the allegations are true, UM football could get the college sports "death penalty" – at least one season cancelled. It hasn't happened in a quarter-century, but the sins of Southern Methodist University back in the mid-80s were a lot like what Nevin Shapiro says happened at UM – trips to strip clubs, trips on boats, direct cash payment, even "bounties" on opposing quarterbacks.
It all sounds like the UM football culture Dr. Shalala pledged to eradicate when she came in as president, the year before Shapiro says he began giving goodies to what would become more than 70 athletes. And since there's a picture of Dr. Shalala accepting a $50,000 check from Shapiro, who's doing 20 years for running a Ponzi scheme, she can't run from her knowledge of the UM version of Scott Rothstein, the disgraced Broward County lawyer and political contributor.
Donna Shalala may be less than 5 feet tall, but she's a heavyweight. She served as secretary of health and human services during the Clinton administration. She was president of the University of Wisconsin. She received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2008 for leading an inquiry into the terrible conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. And she has been hands-on with the football programs at Wisconsin and Miami. The inquiry will not stop at the athletic department. What do you think? Will the scandal take down UM's president? Take our poll.

SEC Awards And Honors Handed Out; Donovan Gets COTY Over Grant
March 8th, 2011 12:41 PM║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink
║ Schools: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
Tags: His Gators, MVP, Terrence Jones, Tony Barbee
Well, it looks like the "haters" won out, just as John Calipari had feared. Tony Barbee — he of the 4-12 record at Auburn — did not win the SEC's Coach of the Year award. Instead, Florida's Billy Donovan took that honor.
Last week, we stated that we would have given that award to Anthony Grant on the basis that going 12-4 with his roster trumps — by a smidge — Donovan going 13-3 with his roster. Grant did more with less. But you'll hear no complaints from us about Donovan's selection. Our feelings were 51-49 in favor of Grant, but Donovan had a tremendous year, too.
His Gators have no pure star and there isn't a string of one-and-doners in their line-up. And Donovan's squad proved to be the class of the league while playing in the more dangerous SEC East.
In terms of other honors, here goes:
SEC Player of the Year: Chandler Parsons, Florida
SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year: Riley Benock, Mississippi State
SEC Freshman of the Year: Terrence Jones, Kentucky
SEC Sixth-Man of the Year: Brian Williams, Tennessee
SEC Defensive Player of the Year: Sam Muldrow, South Carolina
The selection of Parsons will be met with hoots and hollers because he's not a big "numbers" guy. Instead he's a glue guy, a good-attitude guy. Being that he was the MVP of the best team in the league, it's no surprise he won the award.
The other controversial selection will be Terrence Jones over teammate Brandon Knight for Freshman of the Year honors. Both were good, but one ran the point and the other didn't. We'd have given Knight the award, but you can't argue with Jones' production.

Sample WPE
The students had 75 minutes to produce an essay on a topic given them at the test and were not permitted to use dictionaries or other aids. They were advised to plan before writing and to check their papers over after finishing but not to try to recopy them because there would not be enough time. The essays are, in effect, hand-written first drafts, with such revisions and corrections as the writers found time to make. All the essays printed here are organized, informative, and coherent, but even the best are not flawless and merely "adequate" papers exhibit several weaknesses and errors. It should be understood that in passing these papers the faculty is recognizing realistically the differences between an impromptu piece of writing and a paper prepared outside of class with adequate time for revising and polishing.
We provide here a sample essay topic, together with the scoring guide, and three sample essays, rated "6" (superior), "5" (strong), and "4" (adequate).
Sample WPE Essay Topic
The Debt Debate (Adapted from "Caught in the Credit Card Vise")
"I'm still paying for groceries I bought for my family years ago," said Julie Pickett. She meant it literally. The Picketts are profiled in a report, titled "Borrowing to Make Ends Meet," by a nonpartisan public policy group called Demos: A Network for Ideas and Action.
Mrs. Pickett and her husband, Jerry, of Middletown Ohio, are trapped in the iron grasp of credit card debt. Julie Pickett stopped working full time when she had the twins. Jerry Pickett's business hit a downturn about the same time. The family's credit cards, said Mrs. Pickett, suddenly looked as "lifelines" to the daily necessities—food, gas, auto repairs, clothing for the children. Another child was born and the credit card debt eventually reached $40,000—an amount (with its perpetually increasing interest) that the Picketts are unable to pay off. The Picketts, like an increasing number of American families today are incurring debt at an increasing rate.
Harvard's bankruptcy law instructor, Elizabeth Warren, claims her studies show that "families in financial trouble are working hard, playing by the rules—and the game is stacked against them." Warren and others cite the increasing costs of childcare, housing, and education while real income, adjusted for inflation, has not kept pace. For an average family budget in 1973, 54% would go to mortgage, insurance, and other fixed costs, leaving 46% for discretionary items. In 2003 that same average family budget, resulting from two wage earners instead of one, would require 75% for mortgage, insurance, and fixed expenses leaving 25% for all other expenditures.
Others, however, like Boston College social economist Juliet B. Schor blame a crassly materialistic culture for creating the "overspent American." Take Karyn Bosnak, for example. Karyn, a TV producer, found herself in deep financial straights after she moved to New York to take a $100,000 a year job on an ill-fated courtroom program and quickly ran up $20,000 in credit-card debt. "Unfortunately, the job went away, but the bills didn't. In my mind I was making a lot of money, so I should live like I make a lot of money." Forced to accept a much lower paying job on an Animal Planet show, Bosnak scaled down her voracious spending habits, but still found herself carrying around bills that she estimated would take 40 years to pay off at the rate she was going.
According to the Demos report, between 1989 and 2001, credit card debt in America almost tripled and the savings rate steadily declined. In this period, credit card debt for middle-class families rose 75%, and for very low-income families, with annual incomes below $10,000, the increase was a staggering 184%. Some of this increase can be attributed to growing credit card use by teens. Nationally, nearly a third of high school students already use a credit card, according to Jump$start's 2002 survey.
Banks and other financial institutions provide important services. Credit cards provide a convenient and easy way to handle unexpected emergencies. A credit card is almost a necessity for transacting business online or securing reservations.
Advocates for financial reform, however, see banks and financial institutions as a large part of the problem of rising debt. In the 1980s, most states, including California, stopped enforcing any limit on credit card interest rates. "Late fees," according to the Demos report, "have become the fastest growing source of revenue for the industry, jumping from 1.7 billion in 1996 to 7.3 billion in 2002." Credit card companies continue to lower the monthly payment, increasing the length of time and cost to pay off the debt. Meanwhile credit card companies aggressively pursue new customers.
Many believe that Americans have simply become more and more comfortable with higher levels of debt. Robert Manning, professor at Rochester Institute of Technology and author of Credit Card Nation, argues people now see credit as "an entitlement—it's not connected to having a job and understanding how much debt one can afford." Others argue that with recent annual wage and salary incomes adjusted for inflation increasing at only 0.8% or less, credit cards are their only option.
- Identify the arguments presented in the article.
- Explain whether or not you think credit card debt is a problem in America. Defend your position using your own reading, observations and experience.

X7 Phenom uses too much air?

Hi all,
first time poster, long time Tippmann fan (1998, with the Tippmann 68 carbine, my first marker ever).
I have a question about the X7 Phenoms, since I'm a recent owner of one now. I have the mechanical version, but I've noticed it eats up more air than my previous gun, the Alpha Black. I used to do at least 2 full rounds with the AB but with the X7P i have to fill up after every round, it seems. I'm also using a Ninja 3500 compressed air tank with a remote coil.
Has anyone experienced this? I had it checked for obvious leaks but found none. The gun, internally, is all stock and have not modified anything but the aesthetics.
Any info would help. I love playing with the X7P but my experience with the air is getting quite bothersome.

Like many of you, I was excited about the announcement regarding Heroku at Dreamforce. I wanted to learn more about Ruby and Heroku and what better way to learn a new programming language than to write and deploy an application. Though I found the getting started article useful, it assumes you have a working environment. This article shows you how you can easily setup a working environment on a windows machine.
The Big Picture
Before we get started, it is useful to understand how the toolkit fits into the overall Ruby environment. Ruby is a programming language and Rails is a web application framework. The Force.com… Continue reading

Felipe Gregorio 'Icon'
Posted by Keith
A few months ago I visited the Dominican-based Felipe Gregorio factory, owned by Philip Gregory Wynne (Felipe Gregorio is the spanglicized version of Philip Gregory). It had been 4 years since my last visit to this factory and I left impressed at the improvements in terms of consistency, thanks to ample inventory of quality tobacco and a beefed up production staff. I believe this guy has potential to become a star in the cigar world....something like a Rocky Patel circa 2001. Not because they are similar in personality or work style but because while he doesn't yet receive the attention or accolades among the wider consumer audience, he indeed is making some really solid blends and continually getting better - examples include Felipe Power, Pelo de Oro, and Petrus Reposado. Felipe's cigars also do great in the European market despite outrageous retail prices of $10+ per stick. In fact across the pond his blends rival Davdidoff and the best Cuba has to offer....at those prices one may wonder how he sleeps at night. Peacefully I presume, judging by his veritable French work day of 11am to 3pm (I kid, I kid).
But another of his blends caught my attention this last visit. It's called 'Felipe Icon,' an eye-catching little number set to be released soon. After smoking just one of these enjoyable Felipe Icon cigars, I instantly cursed all those crepe-snarfing Frenchmen and began badgering Philip to ship all Felipe Icon production to me instead of old Europe. After much resistance (and a half bottle of Grey Goose), Señor Wynne finally acceded to my demands and I am about to receive a gi-normous order of Felipe Icon any day.
'Felipe Icon' intrigued me for two reasons. First, its lovely boxes and bands grab the attention. The band depicts several of the world's most memorable cigar icons - including Winston Churchill, Groucho Marx, Albert Einstein, and Mark Twain. Second, its wrapper....easily the prettiest leaf I saw during the entire Dominican trip. This wrapper is a triple-fermented Costa Rican wrapper from the top priming grown from a very special Vuelta Abajo seed. This dark, oily leaf cloaks a complex blend of vintage Nicaraguan and Dominican long-leaf tobaccos - coating the palate with rich, dense flavors. Its got a toasty opening, developing complex notes of coffee and chocolate. The dark wrapper delivers a silky smooth smoke and naturally sweet aftertaste that never gets hot or harsh. The smoke remains medium in body all the way through. Upon finishing you will be very tempted into having another immediately.

The ballots are in for the 2004 Golden Links Best of Corporate Golf Awards. In the "Best New Course/Renovation" category, readers chose the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate, near Orlando. The resort features two challenging 18-hole par-72 championship golf courses designed by Greg Norman, the National and the International. Both have won honorable mentions by Golf Magazine as the "10 Most Distinctive Places to Play." ChampionsGate is also home to the world headquarters of the David Leadbetter Golf Academy and, opening in October, the 730-room Mediterranean-style Omni Orlando Resort.
"ChampionsGate has great layouts, a very friendly staff, and a nice clubhouse, says Frank Sablone, executive director of the Tag & Label Institute, Naperville, Ill., and a member of Corporate Meetings & Incentives' Golden Links Advisory Board. "The courses make it playable for all types of golfers. The International is one of those courses where players can play a course that the pros play. And the practice range is one of the best."
The winner in the "Best Service/Staffing" category is The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. The Broadmoor's East course is an old-timer, designed in 1917 by Donald Ross, while the West Course was completed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. in 1964. At 6,800 feet, it overlooks both the city and the mountains. The Mountain Course is the Broadmoor's newest, designed by Ed Seay of the Arnold Palmer Group in 1976. It is also known for its dramatic panoramas and superb golfing. But overall, what makes this resort so memorable is the staff—and how they cater to groups, says Sablone. "Staff members all have the ability to remember who you are," he says. "They work with groups very well and are good at making recommendations about play."
As the "Best Overall Course for Meetings and Incentives," readers chose Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami, home of the Blue Monster. Built in 1960 and redesigned in the late '90s by Raymond Floyd, the course is known for its several water hazards, some the size of small lakes. Says Golden Links Advisory Board member Walt Galanty, president of Accurate Image Marketing, Inc., Alexandria, Va.: " Without a doubt, Doral is one of the best facilities in the country to have golf events. The entire staff really knows how to run golf events for all sizes and types of groups. The variety of golf allows good players to be satisfied on the same course as beginners."

Republican women are rallying to Mitt Romney — their party's now-certain presidential nominee — boosting him to his best-ever showing on a fundamental measure of personal popularity, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Overall, Romney's favorability rating still trails President Obama's, but the gap is far more narrow than it has been. In the new poll, 41 percent of all Americans express positive views of Romney; 52 percent do so for Obama. Just over a month ago, the president's advantage on this score was 56 percent to 35 percent.

Ja, onze taal is niet zo simpel! Bedankt voor je comment! Die kleine jongetjes speelden al heel aardig op hun didgeridoos. Ze hebben precies de juiste houding en blaastechniek.

Rel, bicategory of relations, allegory
left and right euclidean;
extensional, well-founded relations.
An equivalence relation on a set is a binary relation on that is:
(One can also define it as a relation that is both reflexive and euclidean.) The dual of an equivalence relation is an apartness relation.
A setoid is a set equipped with an equivalence relation.
Equivalently, a setoid is a groupoid enriched over the cartesian monoidal category of truth values. Equivalently, a setoid is a groupoid that is 0-truncated. Then the equivalence relation on is a way of making into the set of objects of such a groupoid.
It may well be useful to consider several possible equivalence relations on a given set. When considering a single equivalence relation once and for all, however, it is common to take the quotient set and use that instead. As a groupoid, any setoid is equivalent to a set in this way (although in the absence of the axiom of choice, it is only a "weak" or ana-equivalence).
Setoids are still important in foundations of mathematics where quotient sets don't always exist and the above equivalence cannot be carried out. However, arguably this is a terminological mismatch, and such people should say 'set' where they say 'setoid' and something else (such as 'preset', 'type', or 'completely presented set') where they say 'set'. (See page 9 of these lecture notes.)
A partial equivalence relation is a symmetric and transitive relation.
A congruence is a notion of equivalence relation internal to a suitable category.
The generalization of this to (∞,1)-category theory is that of groupoid object in an (∞,1)-category.
For the history of the notion of equivalence relation see this MO discussion.

Bellaire >Food & Dining > Bellaire Broiler Burger
5216 Bellaire Blvd, Bellaire, TX | Directions 7740129.705882 -95.471668
Monday To Saturday From 11:00 AM To 08:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Bellaire, Southwest
Good – I got the Bellaire Special with onion rings. The burger was hearty and flame-broiled but not as tasty or flavorful as expected. The onion rings were alright.
Best burger in Houston – This has become my favorite burger joint in Houston and I haven't even tried the milkshake yet. Get the Bellaire special, a double meat, cheese and bacon burger that is not legal in at least 3 states. Be sure to have them cut it in half so it comes on a plate and you can catch all the goodness that is ussually lost in the little wrapper.
Decent burger, but not great. – After seeing all the raves for this place we went to give it a try.
It's a good burger, but not 4 or 5 stars worth of burger. The patty was thin and didn't have much flavor, like it had been frozen. The vegetables were decently fresh, but someone had put onions in the lettuce (we asked for no onions) but not that big a deal. It was cooked right, but somehow lacking that good broiled flavor.
The interior oozes 70s hole-in-the-wall. It's looking long in the tooth, there's no windows, overhead florescent lights don't help much. But somehow, it's so run down, it totally works and makes you smile a little bit.
Onion rings were from Sysco foods I think, as are the crinkle cut fries. At least the fries are cooked until crispy.
My dining partner said it tasted a lot like Whataburger, she was right. Whataburger makes a good burger, but not worth driving across town for one.
WHATS GOOD FOR CHRIS!!!!! Great Charbroiled Burger-Just do it! – I just got back from eating here! Very Good burger, charbroiled just perfect! I did add a pinch of salt. The staff was friendly, although the interior decor was not up to date, that's what made the place ( and who cares). It takes you down memory lane for some, an Old Fashioned mom and pop hamburger joint. The prices were extremely reasonable. Where else do you find a soft drink with refills for .80cents? I highly recommend this place for burgers. Very fast service, and best of all, they do serve beer.
A Timeless Institution... – As already mentioned in other reviews, the Bellaire Broiler Burger is a fixture as the best burger institution not only for Bellaire, but also for the entire Houston area. Most average restaurants have to rely on their immediate neighborhoods to supply them with customers because their food is good, but not unique, memorable or lacks the "wow" factor. Not so with the Bellaire BB! People will drive for miles to get to one of those oozy, charbroiled, fixin' packed burgers! The place is regularly packed with vintaged patrons and signature grill smoke. One of my many blessings in life was growing up two blocks away from the Broiler Burger and practically being weaned on the "Bellaire Special" and the crispy krinkle cut fries! And although I am now 46 and live 25 miles away, I regularly find myself with that burning craving in the pit of my stomach and the unexplainable urge to drive to Bellaire! If you need a burger joint with contemporary decor, a waitstaff and a perfect grill ventilation system... go elsewhere. If you want a timeless juicy taste to your burger, a dark, unchanged retro decor and are willing to wait 10-15 minutes for the perfect burger to be cooked, then welcome to the Bellaire Broiler Burger! WARNING!!! Once you've had the Bellaire Broiler Burger experience, you'll have to fight the same primal urges as mentioned above!
Burger is one of Houston's best! – On fridays we go in search of the perfect burger and have quite a few "burgers under our belt. Anyway, Bellaire Broiler Burger is one of the best. burgers we've had!!! The atmosphere is kinda of dreary and the ladies behind the counter are not only NOT NICE, but practically rude. That's too bad because the food is really good. Maybe a jukebox would help offset the lack of hospitality.
Just What it Claims to Be, But Better – For the past few months I have been checking out different spots that supposedly had the "best burger". So far I've tried Taste of Texas, Steak and Ale, Pappas, Becks Prime, a grill on San Felipe near Fountainview, and today Bellaire Broiler Burger. It wins hands down. I just go for a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoe, onion and pickel, usually with ketsup and mustard. Today, I tried the bar-b-q sauce. All the others were too big. Halfway through I'd be stuffed. This was just right, even had room for a half order of fries.
The cook even offered to put my grocery store ice cream in his freezer while I ate, since it was warnish today, Nov.29! That's what you call service.
OLD FASHIONED EXPENSIVE BAD FOOD! – This place is great for the person who doesn't enjoy hamburgers. The service is awful and not friendly and the onion rings are bathed in dripping grease. The only pro in this place is that it keeps its old fashioned decor making you feel like you're still in the 70s. Overall if you're gonna have a burger just go to Burger King and have a 99 cent burger that surpasses the most expensive burger at this joint.
Wayback Machine Time!!! – Wow, this place is still as good today as it was 20 years ago...
Big Burgers, awesome Onion Rings, and great fries!!
Don't like nostalgic Houston joints, stick with the crappy chain restaurants that are all over Houston...
This is the best burger I ever had. – If you want good food but not a snobby place to eat in, this is the place to be. I've been there at least three times and each time the food was excellent. Everybody that I've taken there enjoyed it and have gone back on their own. Hats off to a great place to eat.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
The two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian draws on personal correspondence and period diaries to present a landmark history of the American Revolution that ranges from the siege of Boston, to the American defeat at Brooklyn and retreat across New Jersey, to the stunning American victory at Trenton, capturing the people and events that transformed American history. Simultaneous.
"This is history at the ground level, sometimes even a few inches below. There is squishing mud for soldiers to trudge through, letters about absent loved ones and heartbreaking deaths, driving snow, and battlefields tipped with sun-gleaming bayonets like so many teeth grasping for prey. The prose is vibrant, and there is a telling insight into each character....But the book is essentially a portrait of the Continental Army's commander."
Joshua Micah Marshall, New Yorker, 05/23/2005Review:
"Simply put, this is history writing at its best from one of its top practitioners."

|Info What is it? PlantainDKP is an addon to manage in-game DKP, using a custom system named "Symphony". It was designed by the GM and Officers of the Behind My Camel Guild on EU-Kul Tiras and it has been in use since early Burning Crusade days. It's one of the fairest DKP systems I have used (in my opinion, of course). It is designed with simplicity and speed in mind, and requires close to no maintenance to operate over hundreds of raids! PlantainDKP is a fork of BananaDKP. How does it work?...
