More Jelly Bean Tomatoes in the Indoor Grow Box
Compared to three weeks ago when this tomato plant first started showing evidence of lateral growth, the plant has put on a lot of growth in terms of stem, foliage and fruit. The stems and branches are now growing every which way that they can within the confines of the indoor grow box. I'm guessing that the plant is stressed to no end, but it's certainly serving a good experimental purpose and proving that this grow box can grow indoor tomatoes.
Here's a close-up of some green tomatoes. I'm looking forward to seeing them all ripe and red. The best part about these indoor tomatoes is that I don't have to worry about the impending frost in the upcoming weeks or having another encounter with a tomato (or tobacco) hornworm. I guess that's two best parts. Granted, I probably won't be harvesting that many tomatoes from this plant, but the amusement value of growing a tomato plant in the indoor grow box has been totally worth it.
Happy gardening weekend, everyone!

Those are awesome! I think I may have hubby build me a grow box when he gets back, he loves making stuff! I grew Brandywines last winter by the sliding glass door, but it was too chilly to set fruit, only blossoms.

Do you have to hand pollinate everything in the growbox?

They look beautiful. I still don't have greenthumb growing tomatoes. Hopefully this summer I will have some luck growing them.

I got a couple of tomato plant marked Better Bush and Patio. They both have petite and stocky growth habits, the Better Bush especially so. I wonder if those would be good candidates for your growth box? I wish I could mail you one for experimentation purposes.

Your experiment seems to be working. That will be terrific eating fresh tomatoes when the snow flies!

What a nifty little trick! Getting some ripe jelly bean tomatoes for your mid winter salad will be a "bragging" moment for sure!

Erin - I think boys in general love to build stuff. I have no complaints!
* * * * *
meemsnyc - jelly bean tomatoes are a hybrid variety of grape tomatoes.
* * * * *
Linda - No. Tomatoes are mostly self-pollinating, since they have both male/female parts within one flower. Sometimes we gently shake the stems with flowers to simulate wind motion, which is supposed to help tomato flowers self-pollinate. But no active hand-pollinating is required. Same with peppers.

Angela - Thank you!
* * * * *
Malay-Kadazan girl - thank you! You grow so many other vegetables so well, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before you start growing beautiful tomatoes.
* * * * *
Carol - I've been hearing about these smaller tomato varieties. They sound like they would be perfect for the grow box and I will definitely try them at some point in the near future. Thank you for the thought!
* * * * *
Lexa - thank you! I hope this plant keeps producing flowers and fruits into the winter!
* * * * *
EG - it really is fun, and this grow box experiment has definitely worked out for the most part.
* * * * *
kitsapFG - that's what we're hoping for!

Oh how the mighty have fallen. This time last year, Manchester United were celebrating an unprecedented era of dominance under Sir Alex Ferguson as the Scot announced his long-overdue retirement. Now however, they find themselves staring into the footballing abyss with the future incredibly uncertain, following the revelation this morning that David Moyes has been relieved of his duties after just 10 months at Old Trafford.
Admittedly, it's hard to argue that Moyes' single campaign with United wasn't a complete catastrophe from start to finish. The Red Devils have now mathematically secured their worst points total of the Premier League era, and unless they claim four points from their remaining four games, United will also record the worst title defence in Premier League history.
Most worryingly, Moyes' best patch in the Carrington dugout was a ten-match unbeaten streak, rather miserly in the grand scheme of things, and with his win record from Everton last season so disturbingly similar to his inaugural campaign with Manchester United, it seems the club's board shared the growing opinion that the Scot had somehow 'Evertonised' the Premier League champions.
But in my opinion at least, the axed United gaffer should have been given more time. Manchester United were happy enough to stand proudly tall in the summer with a smug grin over their proverbial face upon the announcement that David Moyes had been issued a six year contract, as if to make their own poignant statement on the current state of managerial affairs in the English game, yet just ten months later, and rather hypocritically, they've found themselves committing the same sin they once mocked Chelsea, Manchester City and pretty much every other side in the Premier League for.
Likewise, Ferguson was famed for his many deconstructions of title winning teams, but despite implied assurances otherwise, Moyes hasn't been allowed to do the same. I'm no great Moyes apologist, but I'm sure even the Scot's biggest critics would be willing to admit that certain players have routinely let him down this season. We've heard of managers losing the dressing room before, in fact, many have argued that Moyes never won it at Carrington, but you wouldn't expect that kind of buck-passing mentality from a squad bursting with prior Premier League winners.
Ten months ago, Manchester United were rest assured that the club's experience, infrastructure and reputation could withstand any debasing tremor of Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement. So much so that they rejected notions of a Jose Mourinho or Carlo Ancelotti figure – the qualified custodian model of manager – taking their dugout, in favour of a head coach who had never made it to the Champions League proper or won a single trophy throughout a decade at his former club.
At the time, it was labelled as an inspired appointment, showing the faith that others daren't in a British coach, but less than a year later, it feels almost as if their vanity, this belief in Carrington's divine right, was perhaps their biggest motivation.
You can feel their sense of arrogance in the transfer market too, the idea that, despite losing the monolithic title credentials of Sir Alex Ferguson, his quality in the dugout didn't need replacing on the pitch. Much has been made of Moyes' two transfer windows as United boss and his limited ability to attract top targets. When a club are prepared to bid £30million for Ander Herrera but not meet his release clause of £36million however, it's incredibly telling of the state of mind around the Carrington camp, as if the Red Devils' prestigious past gives them free reign over transfer fees.
Indeed, whilst Chelsea and Manchester City have continually spent big and United have continually spent smaller over the last five years or so, this idea that the Red Devils view themselves as above others in the transfer market is certainly nothing new. Following the current campaign and the loss of their Champions League status, reverting that trend may be United's only route back to the top.
Similarly, there's something paradoxical about Sir Alex Ferguson's involvement in the decision-making process surrounding Moyes' appointment. This is a manager who has spent the last three decades making sure no player, no matter how talented, valuable or vital to the Old Trafford cause, became bigger than the club itself. Yet despite that being a core value of the Scot's leadership, he was allowed to pick his successor, presumably seeing a lot of his own hard-nosed character in David Moyes.
If that's not a glaring example of one man taking unhealthy autonomous authority over a football club, then I don't know what is. And as we've witnessed over the course of the last ten months, the nature in which Manchester United institutionalised itself around Sir Alex Ferguson, in the long run, has done the club no favours. The instability in the Manchester City and Chelsea dugouts can hardly be considered commendable trends, but with none of their appointments – even Jose Mourinho – becoming too powerful for their own good, at least they can boast a consistency of results whilst switching between regimes.
Manchester United have used the words 'honesty' and 'integrity' to describe David Moyes' abrupt departure, yet the way in which the story seeped out of the Carrington Camp lacked either. They've fallen into the ancient trap of scapegoating a manager that less than a year ago was issued a six-season contract.
Are the Red Devils hypocrites? Perhaps that's a rather scathing critique; the Glazers, assisted by Ferguson, clearly appointed David Moyes with the best intentions, yet, as with the vast majority of Premier League management gigs nowadays, it hasn't worked out as expected. Admittedly, there's been little to suggest in the last few weeks that a drastic change in on-pitch fortunes under Moyes was just around the corner.
But following a summer in which, through their own vanity, United turned their nose up at world-class managers and world-class transfer targets, as if they were somehow morally above it all and could maintain results without giving into modern temptations, perhaps this season has taught the Old Trafford outfit that they're no different to any other club, with no divine right to success.

"Message Received" is the twenty-second episode from Season 5 of Modern Family, it aired on May 7, 2014.
Plot Summary
Jay, Gloria and Manny challenge each other to step outside their comfort zone and try something new. Mitch and Cam's wedding is getting too big and costly so they resort to selling a couple of their prized possessions, and Haley, Alex and Luke play a joke on Phil and Claire.
Episode Description
Something old and something new with the Dunphys and the Pritchetts, and not just about Mitchell and Cameron's upcoming wedding. The problem is, everybody wants to see it, and quite a number of the relatives love the concept of an open bar. And pie on Cam's side. At this point, they would have to kill the centerpiece budget (quickly vetoed by Cam) or sell something valuable they have to pay for the extra expenses. Sadly, Lily's ruby ring wouldn't fetch much because it was made of candy. (A playground transaction she regretted). In his youth, Mitchell traded away a football Jay got him that was signed by Dan Marino. Had it been signed by Rita Moreno, much different story. But he did get a vintage Spider-Man comic #3, featuring the debut of Doc Ock. That had to be worth something, but Cam insisted he instead sells the vintage belt buckle his grandfather gave him that was worn by Wyatt Earp himself. Well, that's the story his grandfather told him, anyway. It turns out those were very popular at gas stations in the 1960's and was worth $20 at best. The Spider-Man comic, on the other hand, was worth a lot more. But Mitch wouldn't tell Cam that. No matter how crazy Cam's story got about his grandfather rescuing Wyatt Earp during a train robbery or that they wrestled for the belt buckle.
Manny apparently has an aversion to pickles. He wouldn't even eat a classic sandwich Jay made for him because the pickle was touching it. Jay decided this was a good teaching lesson for Manny, so he wouldn't let Manny leave until he at least tried it. Then Gloria reminded him he refused to eat any of her mother's blood sausages. And detente was a beautiful thing. For Gloria, anyway. And then Jay insisted she rub Stella's belly, something she hated to do. (GLORIA: It was like, 30 nipples). They all try it, and all three are grossed out. (GLORIA: Why so moist, Jay? WHY???).
Haley found a box of old things her parents were hanging onto in her bedroom, and she wanted to know if it could be thrown out. There was a lot of sentimental value, like the bottle of Zima Phil had in there. (PHIL: It was like a party in a bottle). They found a picture of Claire dating a much hotter guy before Phil named Bobby Nash, and there was also an answering machine with several messages still on it. And Phil's outgoing message showed he was a big fan of Wayne's World. On the machine, Haley, Alex, and Luke found out Mitchell had an issue with "distance" when it came to dating Phil's female cousin. (ALEX: That's the ONLY problem?). Oh, but it gets worse. Claire left a message on the machine telling Phil she was pregnant. At a Duran Duran concert, no less.
HALEY: I was conceived at a Duran Duran concert?!?
ALEX: A classy start to a classy life.
CLAIRE: You were not conceived at the concert; it was after the concert.
CLAIRE: It was a very nice car. The seats folded all the way back. (leaves)
HALEY: Ugh, images!
ALEX: I can't believe they kept it.
HALEY: I have a name!
And Haley also had a plan for a bit of revenge. They got Claire to repeat a text they "accidentally" meant to send to Phil and combined it with the recording from the machine. Phil, who was already feeling inadequate thinking Claire only dated him to get back at Jay, got a phone call on the golf course. "Phil, I don't want to bother you while you're playing golf, but I'm pregnant". Needless to say, Phil freaked out and left the course...and his playing partner...in the dust. Phil gets home and starts acting like any father would when they think their wife is pregnant without actually saying anything.
CLAIRE: (after being hugged and her grocery bags taken) Did you finally get a hole-in-one?
PHIL: Oh, I hope our baby has your sense of humor.
Claire denies she is pregnant, but Phil doesn't believe her for some reason, given her swollen ankles and her mood. And now she was REALLY mad at him. But then Phil plays the message, and they both realize it was the kids. (CLAIRE: I don't know whether to be angry or impressed). They're ready to lay into the kids, but then they decided they could have some fun with it. They waited for Haley and Alex to return and had a knock-down, drag-out argument that they could hear saying they regretted having any of their kids because they screwed them up so badly. Claire claimed if she hadn't gotten pregnant, she never would have married Phil and would be on a ranch in Aspen with Bobby Nash. Phil walks upstairs, and he was really selling being humiliated by Alex, Haley and now Luke. Although Claire couldn't be sure if he was just acting.
Mitchell retrieved his Spider-Man comic book from the attic in Jay's house. He had to admit some sentimentality for it since Spider-Man was a nerdy kid with a secret side, which made Mitchell feel better about having this other side he had to keep quiet for so long. Unfortunately, he ran right into a spider web and dropped the comic in a puddle. The comic was beyond redemption, but Cam tried to comfort him saying he still had the buckle. At which point Mitchell told him the buckle was a complete lie and was worthless. Mitchell instantly regretted ruining Cam's story. (CAMERON: It's OK. I had suspected the dates didn't line up. Now I'm starting to think that wasn't Amelia Earhart's compass). Gloria still said Jay could help, but both Mitch and Cam wouldn't dream of it. Jay suggested they scale it down and not make such a big deal about it, but Mitchell said Jay would be going over the moon if it was Claire getting married. Jay said he didn't want Claire's wedding to be a big deal, either. Oops. Things were degrading quickly. And Jay saying Mitch and Cam wouldn't want any of his friends there did not help. (MITCHELL: OK, who doesn't want them there? Me or you?). Jay wanted everyone to calm down because he didn't think he was out of line not wanting his friends to see him walk Mitch down the aisle or throw the bouquet or have a father-son dance, or whatever went on at a gay wedding.
JAY: I'm just saying I don't know how this stuff plays out. Fine, I admit it. This whole wedding thing is weird to me.
MITCHELL: (shocked) Oh, wow.
JAY: Now see, why do you get to be you, but I don't get to be me? I didn't choose to be uncomfortable! I was born this way!
MITCHELL: Are you really throwing a gay anthem in our face right now?
Jay was exasperated, wondering what more Mitchell wanted from him. Mitchell finally agreed. If Jay was that uncomfortable, he didn't have to go to the wedding. Both Mitchell and Cameron storm out.
Claire went up to the bedroom and wondered why Phil was upset. Phil admitted he heard her say earlier that Bobby was her boyfriend and she only married Phil because her dad hated it. She told him it was about the outfit she was wearing, but Phil still wondered if they would have been together had she not gotten pregnant. Claire admitted she did the same thing. She told Phil that she watched him wash the car with the kids and they got into a slap fight. She thought she was so lucky to have married him. (PHIL: I knew you were watching. That's why I dropped the sponge). Plus, Bobby Nash never made her laugh like Phil did. And she wanted him to pick up the ViewMaster she 'dropped'. And the kids, listening outside their door, we're sure they were fine. And the door locking made them run like hell.
But on the good side, Manny did finally eat a pickle and Gloria gave in to Stella all but begging her to rub her belly.

It was previously said in "Fifteen Percent" that Ling died, probably from the helicopter crashing. Anyway that message comes before Claire's one when she tells him she's pregnant and they do not have to get married, but in "Lifetime Supply", when Phil was on the TV gameshow he said he was married and had a beautiful baby daughter and he also wished good luck to his friend Ling who built his own helicopter and was testing it that very day, creating a continuity error assuming the messages were recorded and played in a temporal order.

Lil' Red and Wolf
This was an awesome semester. One of my favorite classes, taught by Alice Carter created this new project where we had to create two paintings of forests based on Little Red Riding Hood. One is suppose to be a happy kind of scene, while the other is when the story gets darker. There was so much I learned from this project and I had a great time painting as well. Strangely, I enjoyed painting the dark forest more than the happy one...

Press Release
RSA, the Security Division of EMC, to Acquire Tablus - Further Advancing Information Security Leadership
Acquisition to Significantly Expand RS' Data Security Strategy, Adding Key Technologies to Help Discover, Classify and Protect Sensitive Information
RSA, The Security Division of EMC (NYSE: EMC), today announced its intent to acquire Tablus Inc., a leading provider of data loss prevention solutions based in San Mateo, California. Tablus is privately-held; further details of the transaction are not being disclosed.
The Tablus solution will add industry-leading data discovery and classification, monitoring, and data loss prevention capabilities to RSA's data security portfolio, helping to enable the company to better meet the market's need for information-centric security by: finding and identifying sensitive data; preventing that data from "leaking" outside the organization; and simplifying the management of data security through policy-driven controls.
"Information security has clearly become an information management problem: today, many organizations struggle to establish exactly what data they have and where it all is – let alone how sensitive it is," said Art Coviello, Executive Vice President at EMC and President of RSA. "The hard reality of information security is that you cannot secure what you cannot manage, and you cannot manage what you cannot find. Once completed, this acquisition will significantly expand our ability to help organizations of all sizes truly secure their data – and accelerate our mission to bring information-centric security to life."
Locating and Classifying the Data
Data discovery and classification is a critical first step towards securing data in most organizations, as IT departments grapple with an explosion of digital information to store, manage and protect. This challenge is complicated by the fact that sensitive data exists in three different forms (database records; messages, such as email; and loose files) and in three different contexts (at-rest on datacenter storage; in-motion through the network; or in-use on laptops, mobile devices and portable storage). Comprehensive data discovery and classification must directly address this complexity.
To that end, RSA will combine Tablus' products with the EMC Infoscape intelligent information management solution to create a common "platform" that is engineered to enable organizations to discover, classify and take policy-based action on all of their data. Specifically, Tablus' expertise in quickly and accurately locating and protecting valuable intellectual property, sensitive personal information, and security-related content will be combined with Infoscape's solutions for managing data according to specific governance requirements regarding retention and archiving, as well as preparation for litigation support through e-discovery.
Preventing Data Loss
An understanding of the information landscape gives organizations the ability to establish and enforce data security policy and prevent data loss. This enforcement can take many forms, from data erasure, bulk encryption and digital rights management to simple movement and quarantine. These various enforcement mechanisms need to be applied at different points in the IT system: at the point of storage, at the point of creation, or at other times in the network.
In recognition of this reality, RSA plans not only to integrate the Tablus offering with its existing data control assets in the fields of encryption, key management and information rights management, but also to partner openly with industry leaders to enable policy-driven enforcement of data security where it makes the most sense.
"Data loss prevention is the battlefront in today's information security war, and winning that battle is going to require a united effort from the leaders in information technology. RSA is committed to building an ecosystem – through partnerships with leading information technology providers – that enables the common administration and shared enforcement of data security policies," said Dennis Hoffman, Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at RSA. "Our goal is to enable, elevate and simplify the management of data security – providing organizations with a richness of knowledge and range of protection options for their data that simply doesn't exist today."
Simplifying Data Security Management Through Policy-Based Controls
The ability to establish, enforce and audit data security policy is central to this vision. Specifically, enabling policy-driven data security controls throughout the infrastructure that are fully and mutually interoperable would not only address the data security problem, but also the associated cost of operation. Together with RSA's data security assets, EMC Infoscape and strategic partners, the core technology and intellectual property of Tablus will allow organizations to build robust policy around sensitive data, and distribute the enforcement of that policy as needed when that data is copied, moved or accessed.
"We are excited to be joining forces with RSA, an organization that has set the standard in data security for decades," said Anne Bonaparte, President and CEO of Tablus. "I am confident that Tablus' employees, solutions and services will make strong contributions to RSA's offering and both companies' customers can look forward to reaping the benefits of this compelling combination."
The acquisition of Tablus is expected to be completed early in the fourth quarter of 2007, subject to customary closing conditions.

The US Department of Defence has unveiled its fastest interactive computer - made out of 1,760 Playstation 3 consoles.
Dubbed the Condor Cluster, the new system is capable of performing 500 trillion floating point operations per second.
It will be used for quickly processing high-res satellite imagery, radar enhancement, and even research into artificial intelligence.
The consoles were used as they provide maximum computing power at a budget price.
When the project began four years ago PS3s cost around £250 each, while the equivalent technology would have been about £6,500 per unit.
Officials also say the Condor will also consume less than one-tenth the power of comparable supercomputers making it a "green" supercomputer.
Mark Barnell, director of US Air Force Research Laboratory High Power Computing, said: "Such capability exceeds any other interactive supercomputer currently used by the Department of Defense."
Based at the Air Force Research Laboratory in New York, the array also uses 168 GPUs and 84 servers to direct system traffic.
The older 'fatter' PlayStation 3 consoles were used as they allow installation of the Linuxoperating system.

Bottom Up Thinking
by Temple Grandin, PhD
Autism Asperger's Digest | September/October 2010
Individuals on the autism spectrum learn to form concepts by putting many specific examples of a particular concept into a "file folder" in their brain labeled with that concept. Contrary to how non-autistic people think it is "bottom up" instead of "top down" thinking. A non-autistic person forms a concept first, then adds in the details. I created a concept by building it from many specific examples. It is specific to general thinking.
Bottom up learning can be used to teach both very concrete and more abstract concepts ranging from basic safety rules to reading comprehension. In this article I will give examples starting from the most concrete concepts and finishing with more abstract ones. All concepts, regardless of the level of abstraction, must be taught with many specific examples for each concept.
To teach a basic safety rule, such as not running across the street, it must be taught in more than one place. This is required to make the safety rule generalize to new places. It must be taught at the street at home, at streets near the school, at the next-door neighbor's house, at streets around grandmother's house, or AuntGeorgia's house, and when the child visits a new strange place. The number of different specific examples required will vary from child to child. When I was little, I was taught turn taking with a board game called Parcheesi. If my turn taking lessons had been limited to this game they would not have generalized to other situations, such as taking turns with my sister to use a sled or a toy. During all of these activities, I was told I had to take turns. Turn taking in conversation was also taught at the dining room table. If I talked too long, mother told me I had to give someone else a turn to talk.
Using many specific examples should also be used for teaching number concepts. To achieve generalization, a child should be taught counting, adding, and subtraction with many different kinds of objects. Use cups, candies, toy dinosaurs, pens, and other things to teach the abstract idea that arithmetic applies to many things in the real world. For example 5 – 2 = 3 can be taught with five candies. If I eat 2 of them, I have 3 left. To learn concepts such as less and more or fractions, use many different things. Try using cups of water filled to different levels, cutting up an apple, and cutting up cardboard circles. If you only used cardboard circles, the child may think that the concept of fractions only applies to cardboard circles. To teach bigger verses smaller, use different sized objects such as bottles, candies, shirts, blocks, toy cars, and other things.
More Abstract Concepts
To move up a degree in the abstractness of concepts, I will give some examples for teaching concepts such as "up" and "down." Again, you must use many specific examples to teach these concepts.
We go "up" the stairs
We walk "up" a hill
We slide "down the slide."
Put the plate "down" on the table.
To fully comprehend the concept, the child needs to participate in the activity while the parent or teacher says a short sentence containing the word "up" or "down." Be sure to vocally emphasize the concept word. If the child is having difficulty with verbal language, combine the word with a picture card that says "up" or "down."
Recently I was asked, "How did you comprehend the concept of rude behavior or good table manners?" Concepts that relate to judgments or social expectations are much more abstract for a child, yet they can still be taught in the same way. When I did something that was bad table manners, such as waving my fork in the air, mother explained to me – very simply and without a lot of verbal chatter – that it was bad table manners. "Temple, waving your fork in the air is bad table manners." She used many naturally occurring teachable moments, helping me connect my action to the concept "bad table manners." She did this matter of factly and kept the message simple and consistent. Learning many specific examples also worked when she taught me the concept of rudeness. When I did something that was rude, such as belching or cutting in line, mother told me I was being rude. Gradually a "rude" concept formed in my brain from the many specific examples.
Reading Comprehension
Many children on the spectrum can decode and read, but they have problems with comprehension. To start, focus on the very concrete facts, such as characters' names, cities they visited or activities they did, such as playing golf. This is generally easier for the child to comprehend. Then move on to more abstract concepts in a passage of literature. For example, if they read, "Jim ate eggs and bacon" they may have difficulty answering the multiple-choice question: "Did Jim eat breakfast, lunch or dinner?" Teach the child to break apart the question and scan his or her brain files for information that may help with comprehension. For instance, I would search through the picture files in my brains of meals. Eggs and bacon is the best match for breakfast compared to lunch and dinner pictures.
These more abstract concepts and associations don't develop quickly. The child will need to add more and more information into his brain computer before he can be successful with abstractions. This data comes from experiences, and is why parents and teachers need to give the child lots and lots of opportunities for repetitive practice on a concept or lesson. I would start to learn this sort of concept only after a teacher had explained many different stories to me.

The Royals found out they were not playing the Athletics, Angels and Orioles anymore after the end of the Game 1 of the World Series. They found out early on that it's going to take more than magic to beat the Giants.
It wasn't pretty from the start for this underdog team. The Giants took control early, and by the third inning, it was game over. There was nothing to see for the rest of the night.
The Giants took Game 1 of the World Series by celebrating a 7-1 rout over the Royals last night at Kaufman Stadium. If the Royals don't figure it out by tonight, this could be a short series.
The Royals deserved the benefit of the doubt for now. It was one game, and it was a matter of time they were going to lose a postseason game. There was no way they were going 12-for-12 in the postseason, not with the way the Giants are playing.
Still, the Giants may have raise doubts about the Royals beating them. That was the takeaway from Game 1. That blowout was a message sent to the AL champs.
This is a Giants team that knows how to win in October. They know how to get hits, strikeouts and outs come postseason. They have done this every even year since 2010. That's why they are in the World Series for the third time in five years. That's why they are the favorites to win the World Series.
What the Giants did last night was no different than what they did this postseason. They were able to get a great starting pitching performance from Madison Bumgarner, and they were able to drive in runners with men on base. They played good defense, too.
The Giants have gamers that are tough to get out. It's never over with them. A team has to play perfect to beat them in October. The National and Cardinals found out the hard way this postseason when they played them.
It's guys like Hunter Pence, Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval that make the Giants hard to face. They grind it out at the plate. They always get on base with base hits or being walked.
Those guys take advantage of mistakes, and Royals ace James Shields found out the hard way last night when he was off to a rough start in the first inning.
Shields gave up a hit to Gregor Blanco and Posey in the first inning, and Sandoval's hit drove in the first of the game. Then, he gave up a two-run home run to Pence to make this a 3-0 game.
This was the last thing the Royals ace needed. He has been medicore in the postseason, and he knew he could not continue to get by against a great team like the Giants. He paid for it last night.
The Royals tried to make this a game in the third inning. There was hope by the KC faithful. After all, everything has gone the Royals' way all October long. With Omar Infante at third and Mike Moustakas at second, the thought was the Royals would tie it or make this a one-run game.
So much for that. Bumgarner struck out Alcides Escobar and Nori Aoki to get two much-needed outs. After he walked Lorenzo Cain to load the bases, he was able to get out of a jam by having Eric Hosmer ground out.
That was the turning point of the game. For all intents and purposes, it was good night, Royals. There was no way the Royals were going to get to the Giants ace anymore after last night.
Bumgarner is why the Giants are in a position to win the World Series. He is an elite starter no one talks about in the media. He went 18-10 with a 2.98 ERA in 33 starts this season. He tends to be underrated in that regard.
All he has done is go 3-1 with a 1.40 ERA in five postseason starts. He had a scoreless streak of 21 1/3 innings after Salvador Perez ended it with a solo home run in the seventh inning to make this a 7-1 game.
It's not just Bumgarner. The Giants have starters and relievers that know how to get strikes and outs when they have to. When they are in jams, they find a way to get out of it.
The Giants remind baseball fans of the Yankees in the Joe Torre dynasty years in the late 90s. All they do is find a way to win. They get timely hitting and great pitching. They put that in display last night, and they gave the Royals something to think about heading to tonight.
The Royals have their work cut out. We will find out how they respond tonight after their first loss of the postseason. A mark of a champion is handling adversity. The Giants have proven they can.
Now, we are going to find out what the Royals are all about tonight.

Lie In Ruins are a band from Finland that plays a very heavy and brutal form of Finnish death metal and this is a review of their 2014 album "Toward Divine Death" which will be released by Dark Descent Records.
The album opens up with some bells and background sounds that evoke an evil atmosphere before the heavy death metal parts start to kick in with its slow and crushing sound and once the growls start to kick in the music gets more skull crushing which then takes us into the faster parts of the music which also utilizes a great amount of blast beats.
Once the music starts mixing slow, mid paced and fast parts together the album really starts to take off, as we start to head into the second song dark sounding melodies are added into the music, which also leads up to the leads coming in and out of the music while not utilizing much in the way of solos and letting the heavy death metal rhythms dominate and growls dominate the recording.
Acoustic guitars when they are finally added into the music while bring out the darkness more clearly but they are not really used much on the album, but as time goes on by the music really starts to get more fast and brutal in certain parts as well as adding in more of a dark atmosphere which really starts to really blend together when high pitched screams are mixed in with the growls.
Once we got more into the album there are some evil avant garde sounds added into the music, before going into the nest song and the melodies that come out of the music evoke more of an occult feeling before returning back to the heaviness and darkness this album has plenty of, and when we get closer to the end there is a very dark and blasphemous guitar solos being utilized on one song, before bringing in a lot of old school Swedish and Florida death metal influences and the album closes with some dark sounding keyboards which bring a perfect ending to the recording.
Song lyrics cover dark, anti religion and occult themes, while the production has a very strong, powerful, heavy, dark, brutal and professional while the bass guitars are mixed down low in the mix, in addition the songs are very long and epic in length.
In my opinion Lie In Ruins are a very great sounding heavy, dark and brutal death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Endless Void" "Blood Of The Dead" "Venomous Tongues" and "Of Darkness And Blackened Fire". RECOMMENDED BUY.

Andy Goldfine, who runs RideToWork.org, believes that over and
above improving traffic and parking congestion, riding
motorcycles makes us better people. "Riding is a social good,"
he says. No argument there.
Ride to Work (and save the world)
The 23rd annual Ride To Work Day is a little over a month away. That makes today a perfect day to click over to RideToWork.org, where you can download free artwork and order merchandise that will help promote the idea that, on the third Monday in June – and every other day for that matter – motorcyclists should ride to work.
Ride To Work Day is a registered 501 c (4) non-profit organization, and the brainchild of Andy Goldfine, who is also responsible for the Aerostitch Roadcrafter riding suits that are worn by almost every motorcycle journalist when they're really riding, although they typically change into less-nerdy outfits for photo shoots.
Like the rest of us, Andy knows that if more of us commuted on bikes, we'd reduce carbon emissions and traffic congestion, and make it easier for everyone – even car drivers – to find parking spaces in crowded cities. Everyone benefits, right?
That may be a no-brainer to most Backmarker readers, but Andy's Ride To Work mission goes way deeper. That's something I'll get to, but first I want to add a personal perspective…
While I lived in France, I saw an enormous protest organized by the French equivalent of the AMA, which is the FFMC. The initials stand for Federation Francaise de Motards en Colere, which literally means, 'French Federation of Angry Bikers'.
The French love nothing more than a good protest, and the one I saw had, as its goal, forcing the government to change the paint used to make lines on the roads, to a type that was not slippery when wet. Thousands of motorcyclists gathered on a main Paris roadway at the height of rush hour, filling all the lanes, and riding at a walking speed for several miles. They snarled traffic and no doubtl angered quite a few car drivers, but they also made the nightly news and forced politicians to pay attention.
Two things struck me about the event: It gathered every type of motorcyclist; there was everything from choppers to trials bikes in that rolling roadblock. By sticking together, all motorcyclists had more political clout. And, because motorcycles are frequently used as practical vehicles in Europe, they're more likely to be taken seriously, unlike here in the U.S. where they're perceived as toys – expensive and dangerous, maybe, but toys nonetheless.
Ride To Work Day is a step towards solving both of those problems for American motorcyclists. The organization wants you to ride, no matter what you ride (as long as it's street legal!) They'd like nothing more than to see the parking lot at your office filled with scooters, dual-sports, naked bikes, sportbikes, baggers… you name it.
And, seeing people arrive on motorcycles, in riding gear, would remind non-riders (who will always outnumber us and have far more political clout) that motorcycles are vehicles, with the same road rights that cars, SUVs and trucks have; the only differences are that we're having more fun, and can fit four to a parking space.
Andy's love affair with two-wheeled vehicles began with a 20" Huffy bicycle, back in the 1950s. "I was the kid who was always late for dinner," he told me. "My mother would say, 'Where have you been?' I'd been all over the city."
Later, he bought a $100 minibike from a neighbor, and at 16 he got his first real motorcycle, a Honda 90. "For about a month," he recalled, "I had a BSA Victor 440. I was seduced by how it looked, but I couldn't start it, it wouldn't run. That was a life lesson."
The Victor was a dirt bike, of course, but it didn't put him off dirt bikes altogether. He bought a Can-Am from Jeff Smith, and did a couple of seasons-worth of AMA enduro racing.
Andy graduated from university and was working in commercial real estate. When he ran into old friends from high school, they'd ask, "Are you still riding those motorcycles?" as if it was something he should grow out of. Instead, he just looked for a bike more suited to the kind of riding he was doing.
Meanwhile, as a result of the liquidation of a factory that made snowmobile suits, he found that he owned 16 industrial sewing machines. "I spent a year or two writing business plans," he recalled. "I looked at all the things that I did; I fly fished, I rock climbed, I rode motorcycles. Well, I could've made fishing vests, but Orvis already made good ones. I decided to make a snowmobile style coverall, with impact-resistant armor, that you could wear over business clothes."
That was how the Aerostich Roadcrafter suit was born. The only real problem with the original design is, they never wear out.
"A few years after that, I was at Brainerd [a legendary Minnesota track that used to be on the AMA schedule – MG] and I saw a Honda Four in the parking lot," he told me. "Hand-painted on the tank, there was the slogan 'Work to ride, ride to work'."
He left a note on the bike, and got in touch with the rider, to ask whether he could print up some T-shirts bearing that slogan. The Honda owner told him it wasn't 'his slogan' per se, but that he'd seen it somewhere.
Around that time, Fred Rau (the editor of Motorcycle Consumer News) wrote an editorial in which he proposed a ride-to-work day. His readers responded enthusiastically. Rau contacted Andy to order a bunch of those T-shirts, and wrote a second editorial proposing a date.
After a few years – during which time the Internet was invented – Andy registered RideToWork.org and filed the paperwork to create an official non-profit organization.
Andy still divides his riding between motorcycles and bicycles, commuting about 100 days a year on each. Ironically, after he created Ride to Work Day for motorcyclists, bicyclists followed suit, and now there are bicycle ride-to-work days around the world. Andy's watched many cities institute bicycle lanes, and seen that just stenciling a bicycle on the side of urban roads has a profound impact on the way car drivers relate to the bicycles they encounter.
"When you go to a place like Chicago, the minute the government marks that bicycle lane; suddenly, drivers are less likely to lean on the horn. Some paths are being well used and others not so well used, but everyone's mellowed out," he told me. "I believe that motorcycling will ride on these coattails, because we've built our cities around the automobile, and the distances are simply too great for many people who would commute by bicycle. If you live in any of the suburbs where people want to raise their children, you're 20 miles out."
Andy sees motorcycles as filling that role as low-impact commuting vehicles for journeys too long for pedestrians or bicyclists. "Right now, it's not part of the culture, but Ride To Work Day is about increasing the tolerance for people who want to ride motorcycles for transportation, and making it possible to walk into a meeting or a nice restaurant dressed, essentially, like a Power Ranger."
Now, there are affiliated Ride To Work Day organizations in over a dozen countries. At different times over the years, volunteers have gone out on 'regular' days and counted the ratio of motorcycles in the commuting traffic flow, and then counted on Ride To Work Day.
"We've had a lot of anecdotal feedback," Andy told me, "from people who say things like, 'Normally there are two bikes in our parking lot, but on Ride To Work Day we had six'. We've estimated that, worldwide, as many as a million riders participate. So although I can't prove it, I feel it's the world's largest motorcycle event."
Andy's still an avid bicyclist, and he's well aware that issues like global warming and oil spills give bicyclists a degree of moral authority that motorcyclists don't have – in spite of the fact that, as noted, the more people who ride, the better the traffic flows for cars. But over and above the quantifiable benefits to society, he's sure that the act of riding – simply riding, in and of itself – makes us better people.
He's an advocate of riding because it literally and figuratively keeps us centered, and better-balanced. Most Backmarker readers probably agree with him. I know that I'm a better person – happier, more productive, and more likely to see things in a positive light – on days when I ride. That's why as Andy's constantly pointing out, "Riding is a social good."
So, go to www.RideToWork.org and check it out. The site has all kinds of advice and promotional materials you can display at your workplace. Maybe your boss will bring her bike out, and you'll have bonding experience; or that hot intern will realize you ride and suddenly start paying attention to you. Even if that doesn't happen, you'll contribute to a smoother traffic flow, free up three-quarters of a parking spot, and find your zen on the way into work.
A note on motorcycles in traffic…
For $25, RideToWork.org will send you a stencil you can use to
A couple of weeks back, I caught another news story about a motorcyclist killed in traffic, in Kansas City, Kansas. The guy was stopped behind a pickup truck at a red light when he was rear-ended by a following car, hard enough to slam him into the truck and be killed. He was on some huge cruiser, in Kansas (a state with no helmet requirement). He appeared to have been wearing a helmet; not a good one, but a helmet nonetheless.
Like most of you reading this, I've made a life decision about motorcycles, and it's unlikely any news story will ever dissuade me. But the general public sees the summer-long litany of motorcycle crash reports and is further convinced that, at best, motorcyclists have some kind of death wish. It weakens the case that Andy's trying to make that riding is actually a social good.
Anyway, something about that particular crash stuck in my mind. It occurred to me that in other places where there are a lot more bikes on the road, they filter forward between cars at traffic lights. In fact, filtering is an essential part of riding proficiency, and part of your motorcycle license test in France.
In most of the U.S., filtering will at the very least get you stink-eye, if not a traffic ticket (or, if some guy sees you coming up, a door opened in your path followed by a confrontation). American car drivers generally feel that it's not only illegal, but that if you filter, you're getting their spot in line.
American car drivers' hatred of filtering is irrational. Although filtering bikes and scooters do get to the front of the line of cars, they typically accelerate much faster than cars, so they're out of the way when cars start to move. By occupying interstitial spaces in traffic, and staying out of the traffic column as it accordions, filtering bikes get where they're going ahead of cars, but they also smooth and accelerate traffic flow for everyone. The car drivers who resent it when you filter (or split lanes) actually benefit from it.
Needless to say, filtering also moves riders out of the danger zone when it comes to being rear ended, which is a type of accident that is otherwise difficult to pre-empt.
There are an increasing number of states that have made specific traffic code provisions that encourage the use of bicycles. Notably in Idaho, cyclists are allowed to treat stop signs as if they were yield signs, and can proceed through red lights (after stopping, when safe). Those rules allow them to conserve momentum, and begin accelerating before stopped cars, so that cars will pass them at reduced closing speeds.
I guess if initiatives like Ride To Work Day were ultimately successful, we could hope to have some input into motorcycle-specific traffic laws (as opposed to what we have now; police who feel empowered to institute motorcycle-only traffic stops!)
I'm just expressing my personal opinion here, and not trying to drag Motorcycle USA into flame war, but I've spent years seething over the way 90% of the total political activism or lobbying effort of motorcyclists is devoted to repealing helmet laws.
If I ran the AMA, I'd reverse course and go to legislators with this proposal: We'll all wear helmets, in exchange for you'll let us lane-split in the 49 states that aren't California.
Of course, that proposal is totally irrelevant to guys who want to trailer their 900-pound custom to Sturgis, and then ride it bareheaded from their campsite to the Buffalo Chip. It's all about improving the functionality of motorcycles as transportation, used by the sort of people who are inclined to wear helmets and Roadcrafter suits, and who ride to work on every other day, too.

Dear President Kimberly R. Cline:
Your decision to lockout hundreds of faculty on September 4, 2016 – on the weekend honoring labor no less –is as bewildering as it is unprecedented. Your action threatens to severely damage Long Island University. Your decision to lockout faculty reflects an astonishing disregard for the fundamental bond between student and educator. At the University of Oregon, we understand that institutional respect for faculty is inexorably linked to student learning conditions.
Furthermore, your actions show poor faith in the negotiation process as a space where problems get solved. The process can be difficult at times, but cooperative working relationships and mutual regard can only happen when parties engage without the overt exercise of power by one party over the other. A lockout is a crude and brutal exercise of power, the kind that has devastated workplaces and communities across the country. Terminating faculty healthcare benefits without notice is a cruel manifestation of this type of power.
Your actions are having devastating effects not only on faculty, but on students and the larger LIU community as well. Students learn by the example we set in our lives and work. We urge you to return to the bargaining table and put a good faith ear to the problems being raised by faculty.

Whitby Swing Bridge will be closed to all pedestrians and vehicles from Monday at 6am until 6am on Wednesday in order to upgrade the control system.
The planned works are an essential upgrade of the control system panels, which bridge operators use to swing the bridge.
The upgrade is necessary so that the control system complies with current electrical standards. It is also part of the on-going maintenance North Yorkshire County Council is undertaking to protect the bridge's longevity.
In order to carry out the work - decommission the control system panels and replace with new ones - the bridge operations will cease for the closure period. The bridge will remain in the open position to allow river traffic through until the work is complete.
"Whitby Swing Bridge is an historic, finely balanced, mechanical moving structure and its reliability has been significantly improved by the county council's £400,000 upgrading programme in recent years," said County Councillor Don Mackenzie, North Yorkshire's Executive Member for Highways.
"The County Council therefore has to take every precaution to maintain its reliability and keep it in good working order for the town and its thriving tourist industry. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this closure will cause but we have programmed the works outside the peak holiday season when hopefully there will be minimum disruption."
A signed diversion route for vehicles will be in place and the free bus service will run on Monday from 6am until midnight and then Tuesday from 6am until midnight.
The pick-up points will be from the bus station on the West side and drop off outside Mr Chips on the East side.
This will run in both directions and the service provider is Arriva.

Tyromer Inc. is excited to announce that it has been selected a Winner for the prestigious 2014 TiE50 Awards Program at TiEcon, the TiE annual entrepreneurial conference in Santa Clara, California, on May 16, 2014. TiEcon is ranked alongside TED and World Economic Forum among top conferences for innovators and this year attracted more than 4000 technology professionals, entrepreneurs and investors from around the world.
The TiE50 Awards Program is open to all technology companies worldwide and the Winners represent the 50 hottest tech start-ups as chosen by TiE Silicon Valley. "This year the TiE50 Awards Program screened more than 2800 companies from 27 countries. The finalist pool is represented by early through late stage companies. A star attraction of the conference is TiE50 Finalist presentations. Audiences are treated to great ideas and amazing technologies" said Ram K. Reddy, the program chair. The TiE50 track record since its inception in May 2009 shows that 94% of the winners and finalists have received billions in investment.
To determine the winners, a panel of experts screened the companies to create a short list of the "2014 TiE50 Top Startups." This list was further screened by a committee of deep domain experts to select the best of the breed companies as the elite TiE50 Finalists. Finally, the TiE50 Finalists were judged by a panel of highly accomplished team of serial entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, angel investors, CEOs and well-rounded technology experts to determine the winners. Companies were evaluated on three parameters: Business Model, IP Value and Leadership team.
"In the six short years since inception, the TiE 50 program has become a global brand that attracts thousands of companies worldwide for this recognition," said Venktesh Shukla, president of TiE, Silicon Valley. "It is unique in terms of rigor of selection and the broad scope of companies that it reviews for this award and is one of TiE Silicon Valley's most successful programs. It is also worth mentioning that this is the only awards recognition in technology to be held by a large global non-profit organization. "
"We were so honoured about ten days ago when the TiE50 judges selected us a Finalist for the Award. Being named a 2014 Winner of TiE50 under the CleanTech category is another level of recognition that all of us at Tyromer did not expect. We believe this recognition will help us secure financing to complete the construction of our first production line in our lead customer's facility. We are confident that we
will not disappoint the judges as we begin to implement our socially responsible and ecologically sustainable solution to the global management of scrap tires," said Sam Visaisouk, CEO of Tyromer.
The inventor of the Tyromer rubber devulcanization technology, Professor Costas Tzoganakis of the University of Waterloo, was interviewed after the announcement.

KITCHENER — Auston Gough figures he saved about $50 a month on electricity bills this past winter after he installed devices that measure his hydro usage by the second and relay the information to his tablet. Gough lives in a two-bedroom apartment above King Street in downtown Kitchener and was spending about $400 for electricity every two months this past winter. His place is heated with electric baseboards and has a dishwasher.
Gough spent $129 for a kit from Eyedro Green Solutions Inc., a new company in the Communitech Hub. He clamped sensors on the main line feeding the electrical panel, and then hooked up a small box that sends detailed information on electricity consumption to his tablet.
Gough used to keep one baseboard heater cranked up high and the other three almost turned off. He quickly learned that doing that was hugely inefficient. He changed the settings so that all the heaters run intermittently.
Gough learned that the four light bulbs in the bathroom used as much hydro as his dishwasher. So he switched to high-efficiency bulbs. He only runs his dishwasher when electricity rates are lower.
"I just made some fairly minor changes and I was using less power, which is great," Gough said.
The downtown bartender is an early adopter of the technology developed by Eyedro. The company already has customers — residential, institutional and industrial — in 10 countries.
The more electricity a building uses, the higher the potential savings. Brick Brewing says using Eyedro sensors and software helped the company reduce the power it uses in its 50,000-square-foot bottling and distribution facility in Kitchener by 117,000 kilowatt hours a year.
"That works out to more than $14,000 a year in savings," said John Cowles, the brewery's maintenance manager. "Total installation time was probably about two-to-four hours."

Nothing screams "safety" louder than a school bus, with its vivid yellow paint, flashing lights and pop-out Stop sign.
But what if the driver has been drinking?
Shocking as it seems, it's not as unlikely a scenario as we'd all like to think.
Huron School Bus Driver Faces Impaired Charge, reads a headline dated April 15 of this year. Gatineau school van operator had four times legal blood-alcohol limit: police, reads another from the same day.
Mounted inconspicuously to the horn pad of a school bus steering wheel, the alcohol-sniffing sensor prevents the vehicle from moving unless the driver holds a hand over it for 10 seconds and it detects no ethanol emanating from the skin.
The device is currently being tested in a fleet of Ontario school buses in the lead-up to a roll-out to the entire school bus market in the coming months. If successful, Sober Steering sees potential for its technology to be standard equipment in all production vehicles someday.
I became aware of the company through Ellyn Winters-Robinson, a PR pro who helps area startups raise their profiles, and I was struck by several things: Sober Steering is a hardware startup with real technology, it's solving a major and meaningful problem, and it chose to locate here in Waterloo Region, despite its roots in West Palm Beach, Fla.
That was more than enough for me to seek a sit-down with Catherine Carroll, Sober Steering's Chief Operating Officer, who told me all about the company in a chat at the AC last week. A few days earlier, she had stopped by the Communitech Hub with a school bus to demonstrate her company's device.

Mechatronics – it seems to be the hot topic wherever you turn. The Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering Department at the University of Waterloo is now home to about 1600 students and faculty; UW is boasting that it was the first Canadian university to have a full undergrad mechatronics program; and UW grads are making a very large mechatronics mark in industry, wherever you turn.
There's no better example of this than the shining success story called Clearpath Robotics. This company now based in Kitchener, has already accomplished the unusual – it's both on a steep growth curve, and profitable. That's not the standard combination.
But Clearpath CEO Matt Rendall says, "We've been profitable since 2011. We have been sustaining profitable growth since then. Which is really challenging, especially when you are on such an aggressive growth curve. We've been managing a balance."
