text: This a.m., while innocently looking for a small part for my EOS 620 on The ACH!-Shun Site I came across a listing for an EOS 630 with grip, strap, new battery and manual. Being fascinated with it being a real metal bodied camera (as opposed to the polymer bodies of the 620 and 650 that I already own)- I just couldn't resist the Buy-itnow price of $53.00! It's been at least 6 (I think) weeks since I've done this!!! If anyone would like to give a mini-review of the EOS-630 or otherwise comment on this compulsive aquisition, please feel free to do so. :confused: p.s. (I've always been amazed at how well my 650 and 620 have continued to work flawlessly for about 20 years!)

Philippines: A New Horizon for One of Asia's Most Promising Nations
Since its creation in 1966, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been one of the key development partners of the Philippines. From 1969 to 2010, ADB approved loans amounting to $12.4 billion for the Philippines, of which almost 80% financed projects in agriculture and natural resources, energy, finance, public sector management, and transport and information and communication technology. ADB's operational strategy has emphasized social and environmental concerns, balanced regional development, and poverty reduction. In the coming years, its key objective will be to support high, inclusive, and sustainable growth in the country, with assistance focusing on infrastructure, environment, and education.
This country brief summarizes how the partnership of the Asian Development Bank and the Government of the Philippines has been instrumental to the development of the country.

He is a successful young (and obviously openly gay) Broadway actor. He has developed a impressive following of fangirls(and gays) considering he has done little "mainstream" work( a few episodes of gossip girl and indie movie Private Romeo).

Spirent Federal has teamed up with Innofone.com's training division, v6 Transition, to set up an IPv6 test center in the Washington D.C. area.
Under an Office and Management and Budget (OMB) memorandum, all government agencies must transition their network infrastructures to IPv6 by 2008. The test center to be jointly operated by Spirent and v6 Transition will provide these agencies and their private sector contractor with the test equipment and engineering staff with the appropriate security clearance to ensure IPv6 capability.
"The alliance with v6 Transition fits with our growth strategy of pursuing relationships that give us a further outlet for our proven IPv6 test solutions, and it complements our core business," Spirent Federal president Ellen Hall said in a statement. "Our goal is for Spirent Federal to be synonymous with government testing. This alliance clearly helps us toward that goal."
The first commercial initiative of its kind, the IPv6 test Center leverages Innofone's IPv6 transition expertise together with Spirent's connections to the government market

I want all my friends and family to get as excited about points and miles as I am… but to do it we've got to do it on THEIR terms. Gotta always remember that. This is the first of three posts that hopefully tell a story / help you educate your families.
Teach a Man to Fish:
- Part 1 (Educate)
- Part 2 (Encourage)
- Part 3 (Execute)
Each year for "Spring Break" I take a trip with friends to a beach house in the south of Florida on the gulf. It's on a private island and we're very fortunate to be able to do this for free. One of my friend's step-father owns a small beach house on Palm Island where we have a guys week each year. There are four or five us with about 1,000 square feet of living space with nothing to do on the island but eat, drink, go to the beach, and keep ourselves entertained.
One of the guys is a chef, so we eat well. The rest of us learn how to clean up and take orders for excellent food. Surprisingly a significant portion of our conversation focused on "how can I go to this wedding for free" or "I want to take a trip to Europe and not get ripped off" or my favorite (from my youngest brother) "I want to take a pimp trip".
My two friends have a bunch of credit cards that are getting them 0% interest, points at Amazon, and some cash back. My brother owns a small business and is racking up American Express Membership Rewards to the tune of about 300,000 points (time to get him an Ink Bold to diversify). Each of them in the end want the same thing. They want to travel at a price they can afford! Instead of a conversation focused on sharing stories they were all focused on "How do I do this?" and "Can you show me now?" or "Can we spend a day on this when we get home?". They're hooked; in their own way they've seen what is possible, and how with a little thought they can make it happen. Sure my brother has a head start with membership rewards, but he wants to fly Lufthansa First through Frankfurt … MR can do that but there are better programs for him.
Three different guys, three different wants, different credit scores, different financial situations, and different spending capability.
- Me: So, What do you want to do? / Where do you want to go?
- Someone Else: I dunno.
- Me: No really, where do you want to go?
- Someone Else: Ummm … how about XYZ or ABC?
No one ever says "I'd like to fly Lufthansa First to Frankfurt spend a week in Germany. Then I'd like to head to Bangkok in Thai first, spend a few days in the city and then off to Phuket. Lastly I'd like to Fly Singapore Airlines to Sydney for a week and then head back to Los Angeles on Qantas." … well I do. 🙂
If I said that to most of my family and friends I'd either get some blank stares or laughs. Either way, it's a foreign language to them. It is my (our) responsibility to help educate them on the basics; the concepts. If our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents were able to get us where we are today we can help them and others do the same.
We spent time talking about the various programs, but when it came down to it they all need to set goals. What was their objective? If they don't know where they want to go, or what they want to do then I couldn't help them figure it out. Not knowing where you want to go isn't the same as "I want to go here or here or here or here". Sure you might need to simplify / get down to it to figure out what to plan is … but its something.
With a goal set, we've got to explain simply how to do it. Talk about RDMs, EQMs, open-jaws, and direct versus non-stop have no place here. Here are the programs, here's how you track your balances, and here's how these points can be used. Two complimentary examples:
- United MileagePlus and Chase Ultimate Rewards … Earn United miles with both!
- Use AwardWallet to track your balances. They'll send you an email each day your balance changes.
- Give some examples of how miles / points can be redeemed.
- United miles could be used to book a flight directly on United OR on any of their partners (the latter is one of the least known things to new travelers and is oftentimes the BEST redemption option).
- Those Chase Ultimate Rewards points, book a flight on United through the UR travel portal, or transfer points to United to top off a balance and redeem for that dream trip to Munich on Lufthansa.
We don't need to give all the details here on how/when/who, but we need to open up minds. Don't overwhelm … did you learn all about calculus, or how to speak a foreign language in one session? Yes, points and miles are calculus and a foreign language (or 10) all wrapped up.
Oh, and tell them about a trip you've taken; SHOW THEM PICTURES!!! Its way more than 1,000 words of value.
With some basic education done you've likely intrigued your "subject", planted the seed, and they may already have a bug. Our next step is to encourage them …

Lying about who you're going to draft to fool other NBA GMs isn't in the same universe as lying/spinning/misleading/whateverpetwording the public through the media on completely different topics.Donnie Walsh is one of the absolute masters of this. If I hadn't been following him for ninteen years ("I'm drafing Kenny Walker, I'm drafting Kenny Walker" ... "with the fourth pick in the 1986 draft, the Pacers select Chuck Person.") I might be less cynical.
And if that weren't enough, it should be, but I'm sure it's not, this is Herb Simon talking, not Donnie Walsh.
I've never seen the Simons say anything to anybody. I've heard "The Simons think this" or "the Simons think that" but I've never seen them make any statement in a news outlet. It's actually been used as a contrast to, say, Cuban.
I believe I have to agree with that scenario. That also still fits with some of the other speculation and theories that have been discussed in the past. If Stern gave them the impression that he'd revisit Artest's suspension then they probably assumed their history as good eggs in the NBA would carry some weight as long as Artest met his obligations. So with Artest in check and Reggie's impending retirement, they played that card (their history as good eggs) and were still rebuked. Not only could they consider that a slap in the face but working off of Stern's (supposed) behind the scenes talk of a potential reduction they might've wasted time and let some other avenues go untested (such as taking their argument public or to another level with other owners).Originally Posted by UnclebuckThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
And with Stern's refusal to change Artest's suspension, the lack of penalties for the Pistons again bubbled to the top. Hence, Reggie's comments.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
I hate his guts almost as much as the Pistons
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.

Sometimes things that normally don't seem to go together actually were made for each other: cruise control and books on tape (or else, as I can well testify, beware speeding tickets or running out of gas), power naps and very hot or very cold afternoons, and yoga and coffee. While the last combination might make one a bit jittery, it's the perfect way as I can tell to start the day, and not just coffee, but very good, just-ground coffee mixed with chocolate or vanilla almond milk and a touch of hazelnut agave. It's the perfect breakfast food, an extension of sorts of the old Carnation instant breakfast drinks I downed on my way to high school back in the last century, but perhaps even better. I mean, there's caffeine, chocolate, protein and sweetness not to mention the aromotherapy effects of brewing the coffee.
Then there's the yoga. Today I drove to the Holiday Inn Express of all places for the final Saturday of my year-long yoga teacher training. Sitting on my mat in a circle with the 16 other women I've come to love and find great inspiration from, I alternately chanted Hare Krishna variation and sipped my coffee concoction. I had woken up feeling too tired to even imagine a downward-facing dog, and still a wee bit shaky from being a wee bit sick, but by the time I finished chanting, drinking coffee, and moving through a few sun salutations, I felt ready to burst out in "Oh, what a beautiful morning!" Lucky for my classmates, we were aiming ourselves into warrior poses instead, which funneled the sudden and alert magic of the moment for me through my extending arms and strengthening legs.
As I prepared to lift five or six bags of yoga books and props, including my mat and bolster, a friend came up to me, pointed to my empty jar, and said, "Please bring one for me tomorrow." I nodded as we both giggled over the mutual magic we know of, and told her, "Absolutely."

Fluff lovers get ready! I've got another review and giveaway for you from Tender Tushies Cloth Diapers!
Tender Tushies is a Maple Ridge, British Columbia based company that strives to provide cloth diapers for every budget!
Tender Tushies sells 2 types of diapers. The first diaper is a one size fits all pocket diaper. The outer pul material has a slight stretch to help hug in all the right places and also has the extra thigh snap for a stay put fit around babies leg. The inner lining of the diaper is made of a soft micro fleece that helps wick away moisture and keeps tushies dry. The insert is 5 layers of absorbent microfibre. These diapers are a breeze to use, machine wash, machine dry! Sold in a variety of colors.
The second type of diaper they sell is a super soft blend of organic cotton and bamboo. The inserts are made of 5 layers 2 bamboo, 3 microfibre. This diaper is ultra thin but extra absorbent.
I was sent one of each of these types of diapers to try out. This was my first experience with a bamboo diaper and I LOVE it! The insert is soft and so much thinner than the typical microfibre insert. This of course makes the diaper a lot trimmer on my girl. It also absorbs really well! I really liked the way this diaper felt on the outside as well. The fabric feels like a well-loved tshirt–so soft! You can see the bamboo diaper on the left side of the above and below pictures.
I was also sent a diaper with a microfibre insert. This diaper worked great as with, with just slightly more bulk than the bamboo diaper. I can happily recommend both to my fans!
If you decide to use either of these diaper for a nighttime diaper, you will most likely need to double up on the inserts, but for daytime use I had no problems with fit/leaks!
Tender Tushies also sent me one of their wetbags to try out. My favorite thing about these wetbags is that they have 2 separate zippered compartments. I can put clean diapers in the front, and put the dirty diapers in the back pocket. The only thing I'd change about this bag is the handle. I wish that it had a snap on it so I could hook it to my diaper bag. At only $10 for a medium sized bag (I can fit 5-6 dirty diapers in this bag) it's a great buy as well!
Visit Tender Tushies HERE and check out their selection! You can also find them on Facebook!
Tender Tushies is going to give one of my readers their own microfibre diaper! You pick the color/print! Just fill out the easy entry form below!
*This is not a paid posting. Thanks to the company for the complimentary review and giveaway items.*

Pulling Tweets – Comments Broken?
When social is pulling in tweets to create comments, they appear to create "invisible" comments as of the upgrade to 3.6 or 3.6.1 (not sure which).
Eg, I have two comments (each from a separate tweet on a different article) which should show up as pending comments for approval.
In the comments section, it says Pending (2), but when I click on the Pending, it just shows the top and bottom header bars (Author, Comment, In Response To) with no comments between them.
It also doesn't display the "No comments found" between them, like it would usually if there were no comments.
So it knows there are 2 comments, but isn't displaying them for approval / deletion.
When I view the source, there's data there which looks like the comments, eg (sanitised):

 Select comment <input id="cb-select-1210" type="checkbox" name="delete_comments[]" value="1210" /> 	 username

Anyone else seen this, or got any idea on how to fix?
Or even a pointer if it's a social issue with newer WordPress, or new WordPress issue with older comment format?

One note on addressing this issue to Bopomofo:
Under current Traditional Chinese bopomofo keyboard layout (used in Taiwan and China), two of the the first six Bopomofo syllaburies (bo and de) map to the first row of the keyboard (ie. the number keys). So when a user wants to input hex Unicode values, he will HAVE to switch back to Latin mode, OR use the numeric keypad together with the six keys on the side as described a while ago on this thread.
However, well-designed Chinese programs have always known to _automatically_ switch back to Latin mode when half-width data is needed, and _automatically_ switch back to the original mode once the input is finished -- this includes the field for font size in word processors and password mechanisms.
Also, the bopomofo has been declared obsolete in China and Singapore since the Simplified Chinese uses romanized phonetics.
Since neither the bopomofo nor the romanized phonetics depend on casing (in fact the bopomofo has no casing), Input Methods Editors have manipulated codings such that when the user wants to input an occasional latin letter, he can do so by simply pressing SHIFT and the letter without the need to switch back and forth.
Similar techniques can be used if someone desperately wants to implement a method for entering hex Unicode values for the Chinese users. But as a Chinese speaker, It would sound a bit too insensible to me if the bopomofo are used to represent hex values instead of the latin letters A-F.
Just my two cents here.

The text of IS 17455 says:
# As there are no digits available beyond 9, the first 6 letters # of the Latin alphabet (or of any alphabet if the Latin script # is not used) are used to represent the extra hexadecimal # "digits" [...].
Han script is not an alphabet, and need not be handled by an implementor of this standard, however internationalized. Therefore, there is an issue only for the Western scripts (Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, Georgian), the West Asian scripts (Arabic, Hebrew), and the South Asian scripts (Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Thai, Lao, Tibetan), plus Bopomofo.
For each of these, there is a canonical list of basic letters and a canonical ordering. ("Ch" may be a letter in Spanish for some purposes, but it is not a *basic* letter.)
Hiragana and Katakana are syllabaries, but can be handled by the same principles.
This list needs extending for Unicode 3.0.

Rural Investment and the Cost of Income Uncertainty
This paper studies optimal investment decision in agriculture under diminishing income expectations. The goal is to study the cost of income uncertainty and its implications to the efficiency of investment subsidies. Investment decision is modelled as a Markov decision process, extended to account for risk. Applying a stochastic programming approach, the cost of imperfect information is evaluated as the difference between the profitability of investment under stable income and under uncertain income. Computational experiments demonstrate that the cost of imperfect information can be high, deteriorating the efficiency of investment subsidies. Also, examples suggest that the optimal timing of the investment can be sensitive to risk.

Industrial conglomerate Tyco International Ltd. reported higher-than-expected quarterly earnings, lifted by strength at its fire protection and valves segments, and said orders had accelerated from prior quarters.
The maker of security systems, valves and fire safety equipment earned a net $334 -million (U.S.), or 71 cents per share, in the first quarter ended Dec. 30, compared with $659-million, or $1.34 per share, a year earlier.
Earnings from continuing operations before special items were 84 cents a share, 5 cents ahead of Wall Street forecasts.
Sales rose 4 per cent to $4.21-billion, below Wall Street estimates of $4.26-billion. Services accounted for 45 percent of total revenue.
Tyco's biggest division, which makes and services security systems for homes and businesses, posted slightly higher sales, but earnings dipped. The smaller fire protection and flow control businesses showed higher sales and profits.
Tyco, which last year announced a plan to split into three businesses, said that separation was on track for completion by the end of this fiscal year.
The company, which was built through acquisitions, said the split would allow its three businesses -- ADT North America residential security, flow-control products and services, and fire and commercial security -- to have more options for growth.
The split could make it easier for the stand-alone businesses to be acquired, and analysts have identified global industrial names like Schneider Electric, General Electric and United Technologies as potential buyers.
Tyco did not immediately update its profit forecast. It typically does so on its earnings conference call.

�4)������ How do teachers determine proficiency levels?
�5)������ Will there still be conference opportunities available to discuss my child�s progress?
�6)������ Will parents be able to view the grading benchmarks?
What is a standards-based report card?
A standards-based report card highlights the most important skills students should learn in each subject at a particular grade level. In our elementary school learning environment, students receive marks that report student progress toward meeting content and performance standards three times a year.� Benchmarks for each of the trimester marking periods are used to determine if the student is progressing toward the end-of-year standards.
Return To Top
What is a trimester marking period?
Our new standards-based report card is based on three marking periods (December, March, and June).� Teachers will use marking period grading benchmarks to evaluate student progress. Benchmarks often change each trimester to reflect new standards and expectations for student growth.� These benchmarks will provide consistency between teachers and schools because all teachers will be using the same district benchmarks.
Return To Top
What are the proficiency levels on the report card?
The proficiency level represents a student�s progress on the report card.� There are four categories, 1-4.
Earning a �4� means the student has advanced understanding and exceeds grade-level expectations.�
A student receiving a �4� demonstrates academically superior skills in that specific area.� This student shows initiative, challenges himself or herself, and demonstrates this advanced knowledge at school.� A �4� is difficult to obtain and indicates unusually high achievement.
Earning a �3� means the student has proficient understanding and meets grade-level expectations.� We want all of our students to reach a level �3.�� A student receiving a �3� is right on track with our high academic expectations.� A �3� is something to be celebrated!
Earning a �2� means the student has basic understanding and partially meets grade-level expectations.�
A student receiving a �2� understands the basic concept or skill, but has not yet reached the proficient level.� A �2� should indicate to parents that their child may need some extra help or extra time to practice/understand that concept or skill.
Earning a �1� means the student has minimal understanding and does not meet grade-level expectations.�
A student receiving a �1� has academic delays according to our district standards, and interventions may be needed to learn and stay on track with district expectations.
Please keep in mind that these numbers are not indicators of a linear performance from trimester to trimester; rather, they are reflective of the goals of the current trimester.� For example, your child may receive a �2� in a content skill in one trimester, but he/she may not automatically receive a �3� in that same content skill in the next trimester.� This can be reflective of the natural progression of skills and curriculum benchmarks that developmentally change throughout the year.
We want parents to recognize that our teaching and assessments are directed at ensuring that all students have an opportunity to meet our curriculum standards.� Different students progress at different rates, so standards may be met in varying amounts of time, with varying amounts of teacher support.
Return To Top
How do teachers determine proficiency levels?
Teachers determine which proficiency level your child has earned by using a report card benchmark.�
A report card benchmark outlines exactly what your child needs to know or be able to do to earn a 4, 3, 2, or 1 on the report card.
Throughout the trimester, teachers assess students.� With the standards for that grade level in mind, they consider:� knowledge of the child (How does this child learn best?� In what way does this child communicate his/her learning?); evidence of student performance (work samples that have been collected, student performance on activities and assessments, teacher anecdotal notes); and, finally, knowledge of what the child is expected to know or be able to do (district curriculum and standards, report card benchmarks)
After going through this process, the teacher assigns a proficiency level for each line of the report card.
Return To Top
Will there still be conference opportunities available to discuss my child�s progress?
Yes.� We will continue with the usually scheduled parent-teacher conferences in the fall and spring.
Return To Top
Will parents be able to view the grading benchmarks?
The elementary report card benchmarks are available to parents and students through the link on this website.� We want you to understand exactly what your child knows and is able to do.� Paper copies are available upon request at your child�s school office.

Hi all,
We had a great Christmas, but I find myself feeling withdrawn and generally sad. We've been TTC for almost 2 years and no luck. It's starting to look like endometriosis might be the culprit - a possibility we are just now beginning to explore. I had such a great time playing with all my nieces and nephews the last few days, but I also felt a deep sadness. It got to the point where I just needed to get out of there ASAP to avoid getting emotional in front of everyone. Just watching those sweet babies and wishing for one of my own....
I don't want to be THAT person. The one that seems selfish and weird because she's having personal problems. I just want to have a good time and enjoy everyone's company. But it was really tough this year. My husband sympathizes, but doesn't really feel the same way.
Has anyone else who had difficulty TTC felt this way? I'm sure I'm not alone, but I don't have anyone else in my life who's had these issues and can relate. I'd love to hear about your own experiences.
Thank you for listening and letting me vent!

text: Some interesting things were mentioned by someone in a thread at texanstalk.com. Like this quote from SI by Bush ... "Obviously I'd love to play in New York,'' Bush said Saturday. "I could have made a lot of money in the marketing [business in] New York.'' http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/don_banks/04/29/winners.losers/1.html It was also mentioned that on Thursday, a Houston NFL reporter asked Bush how he felt about signing with the Texans, and this reporter mentioned that his reaction was something like "You better tell him (Bob McNair) to up his offer". Bush comes off as a little arrogant, greedy, smart a**. In every interview I saw of Bush he always talked about wanting to be the #1 pick as in payday. He doesn't strike me as a team guy. He reminds me of that football player in those commercials who always talked in third person and everything was about himself. Something about him isn't right and JUST maybe the Texans saw all of this and decided to pass. I DO NOT buy into the media hype of Bush, never have. I was always the one questioning why he was on the sidelines during most of the 4th QTR in the Rose Bowl and wasn't on the field during crunch time (of course that was cast of by most of you as VY propoganda). I find it interesting that Casserly mentioned the same thing tonight calling Bush a part-time player. This guy might be a cancer type of player so McNair and company decided they were better off. I would love to believe these were the real reasons and this wasn't about Casserly trying to "outsmart" everyone.

UKIP candidate thanks the electorate for their support
PUBLISHED: 15:51 22 November 2012
I'D like to thank all the residents of Cambridgeshire who voted for me in the recent Police and Crime Commissioner Election. Whilst we didn't win, we did come a credible third and I am most grateful to you all.
Unfortunately, the organisation of the election left much to be desired which makes the efforts of those who did vote even more commendable. We may not agree with an elected Police & Crime Commissioner, or with the policies of the current government, but, in a democracy, our right to vote is the only way that we can enforce change.
I wish Sir Graham Bright and his team all the very best in their new role.
I thank you all for your support.

Rockies top Chukars, lose 1st-half title as Ogden wins
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho — Almost two hours after taking care of business Saturday night by beating Idaho Falls 11-5, the Grand Junction Rockies coaching staff and about a dozen players gathered in the visitors' clubhouse at Melaleuca Field, listening to the Orem Owlz radio broadcast to hear their first-half fate.
Orem was two outs away from helping the Rockies clinch the South Division's first-half title, but Ogden scored two runs in the ninth to tie the game and walked off with an 8-7 win in the 10th to clinch the first-half title for the fifth straight season.
The teams tied with 21-17 records, but Ogden claimed the tiebreaker by winning all eight meetings against Grand Junction in the first half.
The Rockies went 8-2 down the stretch to move into playoff contention as Ogden faltered, going 4-6.
"Its unfortunate that things didn't go our way, but it doesn't get more exciting than that," Rockies manager Tony Diaz said. "I'm proud of the way we handled our business tonight, and hopefully we can carry this momentum into the second half."
Knowing they needed to win the game to even have a chance to win the division, the Rockies shot out of the gates.
Ryan Garvey gave the Rockies a 2-0 lead when he drove in two runs with a two-out single, but Idaho Falls came back with three runs in the third lead 3-2.
However, just like in the series opener Friday, the Rockies didn't stay down for long.
They scored two runs in the fourth inning to regain the lead, and it stayed a one-run game until the late innings when the Rockies pulled away with a three-run seventh and four-run eighth to take an 11-3 lead.
Eddie Butler made the start for the Rockies and allowed only the three runs over seven innings, earning his fourth win of the season.
Rayan Gonzalez pitched the eighth inning and gave up two unearned runs to make it 11-5, but Kyle Roliard struck out the side in the ninth to preserve the Rockies' 21st win of the first half.
"Butler has been our ace for the last couple of weeks, and he didn't disappoint with the pressure on," Diaz said. "I was really happy with the way all of our pitchers threw the ball tonight."
Offensively, the Rockies had a season-best 17 base hits. The top five in the order combined to drive in all 11 runs.
Juan Ciriaco, Correlle Prime and Garvey had three hits each, with Garvey hitting the game's only home run, a solo shot with two out in the seventh.
"We just kept having quality at-bats and we put the pressure on their pitchers," Diaz said. "We came away with big hits when we needed them."
Along with his three hits, Ciriaco scored three runs and stole two bases. He has five stolen bases in the first two games of the series.
The Rockies' 21-17 first-half record is a 10-game improvement over the first half a year ago in Casper, Wyo.
The winner of the second half of the South Division also receives a playoff spot. If Ogden wins the second-half title, the team with the best overall record during the entire season receives a wild-card berth.
Grand Junction begins the second half of the season at 4 this afternoon at Idaho Falls. Johendi Jiminian will start for the Rockies against Zeb Sneed.

Schwarzer predicts new style for Socceroos
Veteran Mark Schwarzer predicts the Socceroos side of the future will play a drastically different brand of football as more players opt for non-European clubs.
With only seven players who were in the 2010 World Cup squad named in 23-man squad to play Oman in Australia's World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, it's already a new-look Socceroos.
But while the side goes through a period of transition, Schwarzer feels the emergence of leagues outside Europe as an option for Socceroos aspirants will shape the playing style of the future team.
Whereas the big leagues in Europe have long been the ambition of most players, of the 23 in the current squad more than half ply their trade in the Middle East, Asia and our own A-League.
The likes of Matt McKay and Ryan McGowan both play in the Chinese Super League while former Perth Glory defender Dino Djulbic left Chinese club Guizhou Renhe to join Alex Brosque in the UAE.
Socceroos tyro Tomas Rogic's rapid rise earned him a contract with Scottish giants Celtic but his former Central Coast teammate Mathew Ryan continues to prove himself domestically.
Ryan is among six A-League players to receive a call up.
"It's become a different path for a lot of players to take," Schwarzer said.
"I think the team in the future is probably going to take on a different direction in the way it plays.
"It will have different traits from different countries around the world."
But while Schwarzer is certain the future Socceroos side won't play the same way he's unsure if they'll be as good.
"That's the big question. Only time will tell," the 40-year-old Fulham goalkeeper said.
"You could argue whether or not playing in Europe is better for development than playing in Asia or playing in other parts of the world but only time will tell."

The Ebonics Debate Moves to the Senate
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
KWAME HOLMAN: Senate Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Arlen Specter said he held today's hearing to help clear up the nationwide controversy over using so-called "Ebonics" to help teach African-American students. The controversy arose last month after schools in Oakland, California, began instructing teachers to recognize black language patterns, called Ebonics by some, as a way of teaching standard English more effectively.
TEACHER: (teaching class) Ebonics is very simply African language systems on top of English lexicons.
KWAME HOLMAN: The Ebonics controversy born in Oakland was evident from the opening of today's hearing. Sen. Lauch Faircloth is a Republican from North Carolina.
SEN. LAUCH FAIRCLOTH, (R) North Carolina: But I think Ebonics is absurd. This is a political correctness that simply has gone out of control. As Rev. Jesse Jackson said, it was teaching down to people. And that's the last thing we need to be doing. Now I'm very much aware that teaching children in schools in the inner cities and in poor neighborhoods all over the country, rural or inner city, has never been easy, and it never will be. But rather than trying to lower the academic standards, we should try some of the old-fashioned remedies that I think would still work. Nobody should be passed from grade to grade unless they can master the basic three R's of reading, writing, and arithmetic.
KWAME HOLMAN: But Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who represents a district in Los Angeles, disagrees. She supports programs designed to help teachers understand the language patterns used by some black children and says they're already working in her city and others.
REP. MAXINE WATERS, (D) California: The fact of the matter is, Mr. Chairman and members, African–too many African-American children have been entering school year in and year out speaking different language patterns, something other than standard English. They really can't learn the sciences and math and other subjects that are being taught because they are not proficient in the English language. Nobody is saying we want to change English, we want to teach black English. Nobody is saying that. What we're saying is and what they said is we want to recognize that it is a fact of life. What can we do about it? How can we help students learn standard English? That's the goal. And so let's not talk about Ebonics being absurd or ridiculous. The fact of the matter is I think we all want the same thing.
KWAME HOLMAN: Robert Williams, professor emeritus at St. Louis's Washington University, coined the word "Ebonics," combining "ebony" and "phonics," in the 1970's.
ROBERT WILLIAMS, Washington University: Now we certainly all agree that standard English is the lingua funka or the common language spoken by the people of the United States of American. It is certainly the language of the business, commerce, and industrial world. Our goal is to develop methods that will enable African-American children to master standard English. I think the basic question that concerns us is: What are the best methods for achieving this goal?
KWAME HOLMAN: Williams said a 1972 test of 900 black kindergarten and first graders showed the effectiveness of using familiar language patterns to evaluate and teach some black children.
ROBERT WILLIAMS: The results were striking. The children scored significantly higher on the Ebonics version than on the standard English versions. The following two examples are given here to show the method of code switching or translations. Standard English: Mark the toy that is behind the sofa. Ebonics version: Mark the toy that is in back of the couch. Two: Standard English version: Point to the squirrel that is beginning to climb the tree. The Ebonics version: Point to the squirrel that is fixing to climb the tree. What I discovered in the first example, the word "beginnings" and "sofa" were blocking agents. I translated both worst to "in back of" and "couch." In the second example I translated the word "beginning" to "fixing to." These changes produced dramatic changes in the children's test scores.
SEN. ARLEN SPECTER, Chairman, Appropriations Subcommittee: Do you end up in the same place? That is, if you have the bridge language and you use the Ebonics, at the end of the course, do the students communicate in standard English?
ROBERT WILLIAMS: Yes. They know that there's home talk and there's school talk. And they learn standard English. I still speak Ebonics. Every day I play golf. We get down.
KWAME HOLMAN: Superintendent Carolyn Getridge says the Oakland schools use Ebonics because the 50 percent of students who are black have an average grade of D+, far below the grades of white and Asian students.
CAROLYN GETRIDGE, Oakland California Schools Superintendent: When students have an opportunity to engage in learning and they are consistently told that what they say or how they express themselves is wrong, with no explanation of the reason that it is not acceptable or standard English, then students begin to shut down and will at some point, either intellectually or physically, drop out of the process. We want to change that reality for many of the students in Oakland by giving teachers the ability to address these issues in a more consistent, thoughtful, and respectful way.
KWAME HOLMAN: But there were critics as well. Conservative talk show host Armstrong Williams said teaching teachers to understand African-American idioms is the wrong approach.
ARMSTRONG WILLIAMS, Radio Talk Show Host: Proponents of Ebonics feel that teachers should be able to relate to the students by showing that they too are able to speak the structured, cultural student idioms. But I do not agree with this approach, and I'll tell you why. A teacher would not teach mathematics by trying to show that he or she could make mistakes in addition or subtraction. Must one's senators have to smoke marijuana to be able to relate to teen-age drug addiction? Should they smoke marijuana in order to teach them a better way? Definitely not. And the same is true with language.
KWAME HOLMAN: In the end, Chairman Specter concluded the Ebonics issue is complicated and said he's not yet sure of the proper role federal education funding should play in such programs.

Am a Woman of 39years and I Want to Lift my Face Without Surgery Please Helf Me on What Will I Use to Do This Naturally?
Doctor Answers 13
Nonsurgical options

Minimally Invasive Alternatives
At age 39, it is highly likely that you would be offered nonsurgical alternatives prior to being encouraged to have a Facelift. There are a great range of minimally invasive procedures such as neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin), Fillers (Restylane, Radiesse, Juvederm, etc.), light and laser based procedures (IPL, micro fractional eCO2 laser), and soft tissue tighteners (Ultherapy) which could suite your needs and concerns. A consultation with a reputable Facial Plastic Surgeon would be the best way to explore your options and decide on a treatment plan that makes sense to you.

Improving the appearance of the face without surgery
Although a surgical facelift will give the best overall result for patients who have sagging skin, there are many non-surgical options to help generally improve the appearance of the face. The best procedure for you would depend on your individual circumstances, as every patient is different. During a consult with a board certified specialist, your needs can be assessed and recommendations will be made. Photos would be necessary to provide you with any specific advice, but many of my patients have had great results from a vampire facelift. For the Vampire Facelift, PRP is mixed with a filler like Restylane and injected under the lower eyes and into the cheeks to give a non-surgical lift to the face.

Alternative non-surgical facelift
The combinations of skin treatments (fraxel, quimical peels) with fillers (fat, restylene etc) will give your the best results for a non surgical alternative the best of advice to prevent the droppings of your face is a good skin care treatment with sun-blockers and moisterisers
Non-Invasive Facial Rejuvenation
There are several different options for lifting facial skin without surgery. The non surgical option that is best for you will really depend on the aging issues you are trying to treat. Without a picture it is hard to say which would be best for you, but here are a few options. Ulthera is a great option for individuals experiencing slight sagging and skin elasticity problems around the neck, jowls, lower face, and eyes. The treatment is completely non-surgical and uses ultra-sound technology to penetrate deep within the skins surface to promote collagen growth. Other options include a liquid facelift, where I often utilize Botox, facial fillers, and other non-invasive treatments together to lift, tighten, and tone the skin. I encourage you to visit my website to learn more about non-invasive facial rejuvenation procedures.
Learn more: http://www.facialplastics.info/botox.html
Non-surgical facelift
The best non-surgical facelift (but doesn't come close to what the surgery can do) is to use excellent medical grade skin care, sun protection and volume enhancement with fillers. I'd avoid the skin tightening machines like Thermage because of concerns for long term facial fat atrophy.
Facelift alternative?
There are no non-surgical alternatives that will provide as much benefit as a facelift. If you have loose skin, this is something that would need to be addressed surgically. But depending on your needs, there may be other options available. You can generally improve the appearance of the face by doing the following:
1) Restoring volume. Facial fillers can help restore volume and leave you appearing younger.
2) Eliminating fine lines and wrinkles with Botox or Dysport. They are great for areas such as the forehead, crow's feet, and glabella.
It is difficult to provide you with specific advice without seeing photos. I would recommend an in-person consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who has fellowship training. They will be able to provide you with options based on your needs. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

There are few good remedies for aging in the face that don't involve surgery.
Fillers and Botox are nonsurgical treatments that can help the appearance of an aging face. However at some point these modalities will have decreasing results. At that time facial surgery does an excellent job of restoring used to the face.

Lift Face Naturally Without Surgery
Pictures would help assess individual needs, but some nonsurgical options would include use of fillers and Botox to improve facial appearance. Facial fat grafting, though a surgical procedure, is not nearly as invasive and can improve certain aspects of facial volume loss. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Non surgical face lift
Dear austin,
It would have been very helpful to answer your question if you would have submitted your pictures. In any event, there are few non surgical techniques that can improve on your face, though they are short lived :1. Fillers - Restylane etc , fills up the nasolabial fold, jowles, tear trough, cheek groove etc. can last 6 - 12 months. 2. Threads lift - last about 6 -12 months. can cause asymmetry if breaks or loosens up. 3. Lasers - refreshes and tightens the skin some. Lasts 1-2 years. Surgical face lift is by far the best and logest lasting method for rejuvenation. Consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.
Best of luck,
Dr Widder

Change that to "will slow down and possibly corrupt" your system. In my experience (PG 8.4.x), the system can handle in the neighborhood of 100,000 relations pretty well. Somewhere over 1,000,000 relations, the system becomes unusable. It's not that it stops working -- day-to-day operations such as querying your tables and running your applications continue to work. But system operations that have to scan for table information seem to freeze (maybe they run out of memory, or are encountering an O(N^2) operation and simply cease to complete). For example, pg_dump fails altogether. After 24 hours, it won't even start writing to its output file. The auto-completion in psql of table and column names freezes the system. It takes minutes to drop one table. Stuff like that. You'll have a system that works, but can't be backed up, dumped, repaired or managed. As I said, this was 8.4.x. Things may have changed in 9.x.

What Video Game Console Do You Want For Christmas?
The Nintendo Wii, XBox 360 and Sony Playstation 3 are all hot items this Christmas, but it's still unclear which console will take the cake. Right now the Wii, which was marketed as woman-friendly and approved, is leading the pack with more than 1 million units sold in the U.S and Japan and Nintendo says they expect to sell at least 2 million units by January. If you're wondering how, check out this video of a Japanese woman shaking her groove thing while playing tennis. It's just plain addictive.

Vulture's TV MoJoe (Josef Adalian) says Chuck is a bright spot for NBC's fall 2010:
The network should be thanking the fans and bloggers who shamed the network into keeping Chuck alive: While no ratings giant, it's now NBC's Monday anchor.
I'm not picking on Chuck fans, one way or the other, like us, NBC should be thanking them. Chuck is indeed "no ratings giant" and the ratings certainly reasonably allow for a different take on the term "anchor" than Mr. Adalian's interpretation.

I have been wanting a nose job for a long time now, and I finally decided to get one. Since the beginning of high school I have been really self conscious of my big nose. I am seventeen years old and will be going through the surgery during my summer break before senior year. I am a little nervous about the recovery period, and am also worried about breaking out and being really swollen. I don't have acne anymore but I was put on antibiotics as well as Retin A many months ago, and still am on both. I was wondering if I need to stop taking my antibiotics before surgery as my doctor never mentioned anything about it. I just can't wait to have the cast off and feel like a better, more confidence version of myself.

Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans
Chris Pine To Boldly Not Go Where LiLo Has Gone Before: "Star Trek" star Chris Pine got his start working with Lindsay Lohan in 2006's "Just My Luck," but the new James T. Kirk told GQ's June issue that he's not looking to follow in Lindsay's footsteps. "She was making a lot of money and attracting a lot of attention from the paparazzi. It put in stark relief that I don't want that kind of life," Chris said of Lindsay. "I won't tell my publicist I'm going to Starbucks in twenty minutes and to call the photographers." But he did go for a shirtless jog the day before his movie opened at a public park – we're just saying!
New Couple Alert? - Portman & Penn?: Speaking of boldly going places – according to the New York Post's Page Six, Natalie Portman has been seen "cavorting" in LA with recently single Sean Penn. Guess it's time to update AccessHollywood.com's Celebrity May-December Romances gallery!
Hugh Gets Behind The Wheel: Hugh Jackman is also going places – without his personal driver. The "Wolverine" star finally got his NY driver's license this week at a Staten Island DMV, The New York Daily News' Gatecrasher reported. He reportedly "passed with flying colors," a witness told the paper. After getting his license to drive, Hugh stopped by the nearby Corporate Grind deli for a sandwich and some lottery tickets. Hmmm, millionaires playing the lotto… if he wins, we're gonna assume it will all go to charity.
The Josh Lucas Taste Test: Actor Josh Lucas won't be looking for love on Twitter. The "Management" star told People he likes to get to know a woman in person – along with finding out how she tastes. "If you don't end up sitting down and really having face time, and saying 'Hi, who are you, what are you about,' smelling their breath and seeing how they taste, it makes a huge difference," he said. Let's hope he asked Rachel McAdams before smelling her breath!

WARSAME, M. et al. Therapeutic efficacy of chloroquine and sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine against Plasmodium falciparum infection in Somalia. Bull World Health Organ [online]. 2002, vol.80, n.9, pp.704-708. ISSN 0042-9686. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0042-96862002000900005.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of chloroquine and sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine in the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum infections in Somalia. METHODS: Patients with clinical malaria in Merca, an area of high transmission of the disease, were treated with the standard regimens of chloroquine (25 mg/kg) or sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine (25 mg sulfadoxine and 1.25 mg pyrimethamine per kg). Similar patients in Gabiley, an area of low transmission, received the standard regimen of chloroquine. The clinical and parasitological responses were monitored for 14 days. FINDINGS: Chloroquine treatment resulted in clinical failure in 33% (n = 60) and 51% (n = 49) of the patients in Merca and Gabiley respectively. There were corresponding parasitological failures of 77% RII/RIII and 35% RII/RIII. Patients who experienced clinical failure had significantly higher initial parasitaemia than those in whom there was an adequate clinical response, both in Merca (t = 2.2; P t = 2.8; P n = 50) of the patients achieved an adequate clinical response despite a parasitological failure rate of 76% RII/RIII. CONCLUSION: Chloroquine should no longer be considered adequate for treating clinical falciparum malaria in vulnerable groups in the areas studied. Doubts about the therapeutic life of sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine in relation to malaria are raised by the high levels of resistance in the Merca area and underline the need to identify suitable alternatives.

Girl Dies After Fall from Rope Swing
According to Greenville News, a 16-year-old girl was fatally injured after falling from a rope swing at a Christian camp.
Fall from Rope Swing Causes Death
On July 14, Olivia Grimes of Florida died from falling off of a rope swing at Carolina Point- Young Life Camp in Brevard, North Carolina.
She was attached to pendulum rope swing when she became unhooked and fell roughly 120 feet. She was pronounce dead on the scene. Grimes is the daughter of the pastor of Oasis Community Church in Lakeland, Florida. Carolina Point- Young Life Camp is one of 28 Young Life Camps nationwide.
The spokeswomen for Young Life headquarters says that all ropes courses at all of the camps have been closed for the time being and that all swing courses have strict protocols. However, the S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation said that the swing had not been inspected and does not seem to fit the requirements for an amusement ride.

Humboldt County residents pay some of the highest gas prices in California, but the U.S. Census Bureau found they also have the fastest commute times in the state.
Humboldt residents spend an average of about 17 minutes traveling to work, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Statewide, the average commute time jumps to 27 minutes, and nationwide commutes are about 25 minutes.
The winner of the longest commute time in California belongs to Contra Costa County, which is home to cities like Richmond, Concord and Walnut Creek. Workers in this suburban portion of the Bay Area spend an average of about 32 minutes traveling to work. About 17 percent of them travel 60 minutes or more to their jobs.
This is far from the case in Humboldt, where only 3.3 percent of people drive 60 minutes or more to their workplace.
Humboldt County Public Works Director Tom Mattson said he's not surprised the county has the quickest commute times in the state.
"We just don't have the traffic congestion problems that the other areas do," Mattson said.
He said Humboldt residents typically don't have to travel as far to get to work, or face the type of traffic that Bay Area commuters do.
"There's housing near the jobs in the city," Mattson said.
Despite having fast commute times, Humboldt residents are less likely to carpool or use public transportation.
Of the 58,039 workers in the county age 16 and older, a total of 41,782 or about 72 percent, drive alone to work. Only 6,106, or about 10.5 percent, carpool and 789, or about 1.4 percent, take public transportation. The remaining 9,362 workers are unaccounted for by the census, but likely walk, ride a bicycle or travel to work by other modes of transportation.
Humboldt Transit Authority General Manager Greg Pratt said more people would probably ride public transit in the county if the buses were more frequent. He said the county simply can't afford to operate a transit system comparable to places like Los Angeles, where buses on one route run every 10 minutes or so.
"Being a rural agency and area, we don't get the funding other places do," Pratt said.
He said some people are hesitant to ride the bus if they have to catch it 20 minutes earlier than needed to get to work, or have to wait 30 minutes after work to get on the next bus. He said HTA staff are trying to re-work schedules.
"We're trying to identify the large concentration of workers, that is what we're doing now," Pratt said.
He said HTA staff are looking to determine the best stops for workers and where most of them are headed.
About 73 percent of Californians drive to work alone, while 5 percent take public transit. The numbers are in line with the nationwide average, which shows about 76 percent of people drive to work alone and about 5 percent take public transit.
More information about the nation's commute times can be found online at www.census.gov/acs/www/.

Humboldt County commute facts:
* Residents travel an average of 17 minutes to work
* Only 3.3 percent travel 60 minutes or more to work
* About 72 percent of workers drive to work alone
* About 1.4 percent of workers take public transit

Is anyone else even reading Oprah's boards?
Anyone find anything awesome there?
It's not a very easy to navigate board?
Love IS The Answer!
Come shop with me, the newest Queen Bee!!!
Yikes! When did I turn into a whipper snapper!
I don't even know what I'm talking about though- cuz I haven't been reading them at all.
Oh yeah, one more thing:
Love Always,
Lisa O.
Quoting LiaSophiaTina:Agreed.
I got bored after trying to read just ONE thread...
It's not a very easy to navigate board?
The last time I read the boards was about a month ago. I have to say I was really astonished at what I saw being posted. I had no idea how much resistance so many were (are) having to their own awakening. And I definitely had somewhat of a pain-body attack.
After I was finally able to notice my pain-body, and feel my pain in my chakras/energy centers, I was able to recognize that they are going through the same thing I remember going through when I started developing the desire to be awake in the experience of my life.
I remember being so resistant and wanting there to be one right way, one right recipe for living a spiritually perfect existance. I was constantly choosing inferiority/superiority over oneness and inclusiveness. And it took a few years of being with that inner-conflict before I realized, the only answer to my life is me. If I don't go within, I go without.
After spending so much time saviour searching and wanting to find the right book that would make me whole, or the right teaching, or the right career, or the right path to healing, blah blah blah. I finally almost out of the blue one day got that looking within and being present within is all there is!!
Reading the message boards was something that inspired me to have the desire to start coaching again; something I never meant to lose touch with. And it's all about perceiving through the eyes of Oneness. I'm starting to feel more and more gratitude towards the things that used to make me want to feel separate.
with love,
