Rampant speculation suggests that Luis Perdomo's beard provided much needed sustenance as Luis Perdomo pitched 5 innings, giving up only one hit and one run while striking out 6 for a win in Richmond. The length of Perdomo's outing (a season high and duration unmatched since 2010 in Portland, OR) prompted beard watchers to examine the situation. It seems likely that the beard shifted during Perdomo's follow through to feed him various foodstuffs trapped inside of it, and provide the calories necessary to pitch for an extended period.
It is unclear whether such mid-game munching violates Eastern League Rules, however the precedent set by David Wells eating and drinking in the majors suggests both beard and pitcher should be commended.

Perdomo promoted to Rochester and picked up his first win in AAA last night with 2.2 innings of scoreless relief.
Thank You Stringer Bell, I was a day late in posting the news of his joyous elevation to AAA (where Perdomo's not alone in his scruffiness), however belated we should all rejoice that his neck warmer looks even better in Rochester red.Peanuts From Heaven

Anthony Swarzak went on the 15 day DL with a rotator cuff strain, and Carl Pavano moved to the 60 Day DL to make room for our beloved Adopt-A-Prospect. For those who don't know: Luis Perdomo is a relief pitcher who spent a brief while with the San Diego Padres and a briefer time with the New Britain Rock Cats, and the briefest time yet with Rochester. But more to the point Luis Perdomo is a man with a beard, and not just any beard, a beard that bests the scruffiest climbers of Mount Everest, a beard that the Visagoth's themselves envy, a beard that has prepared him to enter the long line of Jeff Reardon and Rick Aguilera as a Neckwarmer Nightmare Reliever!
AND! It's possible that he may end up better known in the Twin Cities than the Jazz pianist who shares his name:

This is truly a great day for Beardom! Good Luck Luis Perdomo the Baseball player and no luck is needed for Luis Perdomo the pianist - he seems to be doing just fine without any luck. PFH... you are the man!
Well, that debut could definitely have gone better.
After posting a .949 WHIP between AA & AAA (only .661 in AAA) Luis Perdomo gave up 1 hit, 3 walks and a Swagalicious Error to 7 batters last night, his first night as an honest to goodness Minnesota Twin. He was wild (19 balls to just 11 strikes) and gave up 2 (unearned) runs before leaving the bases loaded in low leverage situation.
There is one natural thing to blame this on: THE SOUL PATCH!!
LUIS, your beard is a thing of beauty and a joy to behold, I'm sure that Terry Ryan asked you to shave it for some voodoo ritual to increase the prowess of Misters Deduno, Fine et. al. But now it is on you to either get in on the juju, or grow it back! I grant that your soul patch is more stylish than 90% of the other Twins facial hair, but it cannot compare with the full-on muzzle. So rub in some chia pet seeds and water regularly, so we can get back to the business of kicking butt and taking names.

After ten days I'm back from Montana. And I'm happy to report that Luis Perdomo's cup of coffee with the Minnesota Twins has turned into something rapidly approaching a real date! Sure, the Twins might just have called him up out of desperation, a need to have SOMEONE with them, and a desire to feel attractive again (even only for a moment). But Perdomo could easily have screwed the pooch and gotten kicked to the curb with another disastrous outing, or by calling Terry Ryan fat or something.
Instead, Perdomo has been appreciated if still underwhelming; the ultimate low-leverage situation pitcher who comes in with the game's outcome not remotely in doubt, can be trusted to do a middling job, and will totally take you to the brake shop if you need to pick up your car.
(The Key stats: in 14 days, he's made 3 appearances going 4.66 Innings, 4 hits allowed (2 Doubles), 2 inherited runners (both of whom scored) and a Strike to Ball ratio of 45:34--that's about 9 strikes per 7 balls...)
Meanwhile Luis Perdomo's beard may yet be given the coveted position of "facial hair of the year" for the Twins' franchise. The potential of his chin scruff is clear, and the Twins front office is all twitterpated in the hopes that the beard may yet infect the rest of Perdomo's body and create a super reliever (one who's more than just a safety date).
Key Stats for Luis Perdomo's beard in the past two weeks: 3.8 Inches regained (thank you chia seeds!), 4 attempts to battle the Green Monster, 6 Perogi/Clam Chowder flavored CheezIts lost in the tangle of hair, 1 Drew Butera Inspired.

It is a time for sad peanuts and sad Perdomo's as Luis Perdomo's beard (and the pitcher himself) were sent back down to Rochester. Unfortunately it seems that the Twins continue to value talent on the ball field over beautiful facial hair (FOOLISH!). Still, given the rarity of Perdomo's appearances it may be best for him to rejoin the Red Wings for a few weeks before returning in September with the scruff back in full force.
Until then, be bold beard lovers, and trust that justice will result in the return of hairiness in due course.Peanuts From Heaven
Having returned to Rochester about 10 days ago, Luis Perdomo has returned to his stature as a semi-dominant reliever (not sure whether he has Liam Hendricks Arm, or Liam Hendricks has Luis Perdomo arm).
Key Stats for Luis Perdomo in the past two weeks (AAA): 4 App. 7.33 Innings, 2 ER, 6 K, 1 BB (rather a shift from his numbers in Minnesota, eh?)
Minor league totals this season: 2.17 ERA, 9.1 K/9, 3.53 K/BB Ratio, .950 WHIP
The return to Rochester was similarly helpful for Luis Perdomo's beard. With Bobby Cuellar's soothing spanish tones providing a sense of home, and Tom Brunansky's mustache ghost as inspiration, things are looking up after a rocky term in the bigs.
Key Stats for Luis Perdomo's beard in the past two weeks: 2 inches gained, 4 Rochester-area commercials conceived, 1 Cheez-it Consumed mid-inning (he's trying to cut back on sodium).

You are doing a tremendous job here, Peanuts. Keep up the good work--a message both to you and to Perdomo!
HE'S BAAAaaaaAAAACK!!
Much to the delight of everyone* in Twins Territory, Luis Perdomo has been recalled to join the big league roster as part of the September Callups, that annual rite of fall when teams finally admit: "Ah, who gives a #%*" and give nervous young rookies, and desperate journeymen a chance to prove themselves one last time.
Perdomo's spot came at the expense of Anthony Slama because, quoth GM/Mr. Clean's Cousin Terry Ryan, "We know a lot more about Anthony Slama than we do Perdomo, frankly, so it's one of those situations -- it's just like bringing Escobar up instead of Dozier....We need to find something out about these guys we don't know so much about."
Expect that, in addition to playing time, Terry Ryan, Ron Gardenhire and Rich Anderson spend sometime just talking the night away with Perdomo, learning his hopes and dreams, his favorite movies, if he thinks that Kristen Stewart is a total ho-bag or just a mini-skeez, that sort of thing.
Meanwhile Luis Perdomo's beard continues to do everything possible to impress people: growing scruffily, shining with phosphorescence in the moonlight, hypnotizing call-ups on other teams. Bravo Luis Perdomo's beard...bravo.

Watched Perdomo in the low-leverage blowout situation last night (Tues 9/4) in Chicago. You can see why the Twins are intrigued: His arm motion is a whip style delivery similar to Matt Guerrier, except that Perdomo's arm slot is more 3/4's overhand. Great potential for easy velocity, but Perdomo last night struggled to get his motion synchronized, so his pitches were semi-wild.
What puzzles me is why more pitchers and pitching coaches don't break down the few old films of Walter Johnson, the best example ever of the whip-style delivery. Johnson himself was only 6'1", 200 pounds, but he did have very long arms, and the few videos I've seen of him were clearly intended to show how he threw a baseball. I think a lot of people see where WJ got his easy velocity, but they miss where he got his pinpoint accuracy - the long control moment where the palm of his pitching hand traveled towards his target as if it were guided by a long string.
Most pitchers seem to concentrate on getting a tight snap, bending their elbow to the max. Johnson actually didn't bend his elbow that much, about 90 degrees, and the palm of his hand during the second stage of the whip was thrusting from in front of and just below his rotator cuff. From this position he could avoid injuring his elbow and his rotator, while guiding the ball to target with a smooth motion. WJ's finish was a lesson in relaxed balance - palm down, elbow slightly bent, back knee next to stride knee indicates linear transfer of weight for a tight upper body rotation over the front leg, also adding to his accuracy. No wonder this guy could spot the ball within inches. There was zero round-house in his stride. As a side-armer, he had natural control of the vertical. With a linear stride, he controlled the horizontal. Bull's eye.
In contrast, Perdomo's delivery changes the natural plane of the whip from sidearm to 3/4s overhand, and he bends his elbow farther to add snap. Problem is, when to snap? Unlike WJ's delivery, Perdomo's is extremely timing sensitive. His control moment is compressed to a few inches, where WJ's is about a foot and a half. The longer arrow is naturally more accurate. Funny thing is, Perdomo could alter his motion to more like WJ's in about half an hour. What would take longer is to match WJ's perfect balance. Jump rope? Trampoline? Balance beam?
By the way, I was watching Humber get pounded, and he was tipping his pitches. Standing on the mound, he was leaning towards the side of the plate he was going to throw to. Think the Twins hitters noticed?

First the gritty details on Luis Perdomo's statistical output in the last two weeks.
FINAL 2012 Minor League statistics (between AA/AAA*): 45 App. 72.66 Innings, 2.60 ERA (lowest since '08), 1.046 WHIP (lowest since '07), 3.09 K/BB (best since '07), 8 W, 5 L, 10 Sv.
*While he made more appearances in AA, the innings pitched were reasonably close and his averages were actually lower in AAA than AA, suggesting this isn't entirely a case of a 28 year old dominating younger competition
Meanwhile Perdomo has made just one appearance since his September call-up. Going an inning and 2/3rds in a blowout win in Chicago (alluded to by jimbo92107 above); surrendering 1 run on 2 Hits, 1 walk, 1 K (he also had 18 strikes to 14 balls, his best ratio in a Twins uniform this year)
As to jimbo92107's analyses...yes...good point...
Seriously, though that's some fine researching and analyses. I cannot explain the ignorance of the Big Train's delivery, and I trust that Twins coaches have discovered the magic of youtube (including Cat videos) and can therefore find footage of Walter Johnson. Heck, I did in 20 seconds
Ideally of course, Perdomo would get a little practice redefining his arm angle (particularly the snap). His success in the minors suggests that there's something he has done that has been successful (not sure if its mechanical or mental), but a combination of that and a little historical fine-tuning could make for an excellent relief option.
But I ask you jimbo92107, how dominant and intimidating would Walter Johnson have been with a beard the size of Waseca? By all acounts Johnson's mild mannered nature belied a fierce competitor, but one who was afraid to pitch inside (at least according to Ty Cobb). Chances are he could hide that feeling more effectively behind a Rutheford B. Hayes style beard. Combining all these factors makes Luis Perdomo an extremely interesting prospect indeed.
Key Stats for Luis Perdomo's beard in the past two weeks: 1.5 inches gained, 3 facial hair stroking contests lost to Ron Gardenhire, 15 Cheez-its consumed at Chicago hotel minibar (cost to Twins organization: $19.98)

WILMINGTON, North Carolina - Citing the continued support and generosity of longtime benefactor George Rountree III, UNCW Chancellor Gary L. Miller announced Tuesday that the men's basketball offices at Trask Coliseum will be named the George Rountree Basketball Suite.
In a special afternoon ceremony near the offices off the Trask lobby, Miller said Rountree's loyalty with the program has been significant.
"George and Sylvia have made a difference on our campus in many ways as friends, volunteers and very generous donors," said Chancellor Miller. "Their commitment to the journey of learning inspires our student-athletes, coaches, faculty and staff to 'Dare to Soar.'"
The UNCW Board of Trustees announced the naming in February of 2011 after Rountree and his wife Sylvia made a $250,000 contribution to support UNCW Athletics. The gift was part of the Campaign for UNCW: Soaring to Greatness, a comprehensive fundraising effort that raised more than $66.5 million in support for scholarships, programs and services across campus.
Rountree, a civic leader and senior partner with Rountree, Losee & Baldwin, played a key role in the development of the Seahawk Club during its early years and served as president five times. He is a former member of the UNCW Board of Trustees and the Board of Visitors.
Rountree was inducted into the UNCW Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010 and the Greater Wilmington Sports Hall of Fame in 2009.

Research: 2012 Network Computing Salary Survey
Research: Network and Data Center Pros Wait for Budgets to Open Up
While staff and managers are satisfied with their jobs overall, more than 50% of staff and management got raises of less than 5% or had their pay frozen, and about a quarter saw benefit cuts.
Survey Name InformationWeek 2012 U.S. IT Salary Survey: Networking and Data Center
Survey Date January 2012
Region United States
Number of Respondents 1,220 networking and data center IT professionals, including 711 IT staff and 509 IT managers.
Purpose To track IT salary and compensation trends from the perspective of those on the front lines, InformationWeek conducts an annual U.S. IT Salary Survey. Now in its 15th year, it's the largest employee-based IT salary survey in the country. Last year 18,201 full-time IT professionals completed the Web-based survey. This year 13,880 took part. The goal of this trendable study is to measure various aspects of compensation, benefits, and job satisfaction. This report focuses on the 1,220 networking and data center IT professionals who participated in the survey.
Methodology The survey was designed by InformationWeek and fielded online. The survey was promoted in InformationWeek's daily and weekly newsletters. In addition, email invitations with an embedded link to the survey were sent to qualified IT professionals from InformationWeek Business Technology Network print, newsletter and events databases. The survey was fielded from November 2011 to January 2012.
The information within this report is based on responses from 1,220 networking and data center IT professionals. Unemployed and part-time workers were excluded from these results, as were respondents from outside the United States. This report uses median rather than mean or average figures for salary and percentage salary changes to eliminate distortions caused by extremes at the high and low ends of the responses.

Sessions and Users in PHP 5 CMS
In this article, by Martin Brampton author of PHP 5 CMS Framework Development, we get into the detailed questions involved in providing continuity for people using our websites. Almost any framework to support web content needs to handle this issue robustly, and efficiently. In this article, we will look at the need for sessions, and the PHP mechanism that makes them work. There are security issues to be handled, as sessions are a well known source of vulnerabilities. Search engine bots can take an alarmingly large portion of your site bandwidth, and special techniques can be used to minimize their impact on session handling. Actual mechanisms for handling sessions are provided. Session data has to be stored somewhere, and it is better to take charge of this task rather than leave it to PHP. A simple but fully effective session data handler is developed using database storage.Read Sessions and Users in PHP 5 CMS in full
Creating a Recent Comments Widget in Agile
In this article by Jeffery Winesett, author of Agile Web Application Development with Yii1.1 and PHP5, we are going to turn our focus to the second primary goal of this iteration. As seen in the previous article Adding User Comments in Agile, we now have the ability to leave comments on issues.
We want to display to the user a list of all of the recent comments that have been left on various issues across all of the projects. This will provide a nice snapshot of user communication activity within the application. We also want to build this small block of content in a manner that will allow it to be re-used in various different locations throughout the site. This is very much in the style of web portal applications such as news forums, weather reporting applications and sites such as Yahoo and iGoogle. These small snippets of content are often referred to as portlets, and this is why we referred to building a portlet architecture at the beginning of this iteration. Again, you can refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portlet for more information on this topic.Read Creating a Recent Comments Widget in Agile in full
Adding User Comments in Agile
The ability for users to engage in a dialogue about project issues is an important part of what any issue tracking tool should provide. One way to achieve this is to allow users to leave comments directly on the issues. The comments will form a conversation about the issue and provide an immediate, as well as historical context to help track the full lifespan of any issue. We will also use comments to demonstrate using Yii widgets and establishing a portlet model for delivering content to the user (for more information on Portlets , visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portlet ).
In this article by Jeffery Winesett, author of Agile Web Application Development with Yii1.1 and PHP5, we will focus on some of the nice-to-have features in our TrackStar application. The first of these features that we will tackle is the ability for users to leave comments on project issues.Read Adding User Comments in Agile in full
Agile with Yii 1.1 and PHP5: The TrackStar Application
In order to understand the framework in the context of a real-world application, we need to build something that will more closely resemble the types of applications web developers actually have to build. That is exactly what we are going to be doing.
In this article by Jeffery Winesett, author of Agile Web Application Development with Yii1.1 and PHP5, we introduce the project task tracking application called TrackStar. There are many other project management and issue tracking applications out there in the world, and the basic functionality of ours will not be any different from many of these. So why build it, you ask? It turns out that this type of user-based application has many features that are common to a great many web applications out there. This will allow us to achieve two primary goals:
- Showcase Yii's incredible utility and feature set as we build useful functionality and conquer real-world web application challenges
- Provide real-world examples and approaches that will be immediately applicable to your next web application project

Hands-on Tutorial for Getting Started with Amazon SimpleDB
With Amazon SimpleDB you can scale your application's database on the cloud. In this article by Prabhakar Chaganti and Rich Helms, authors of Amazon SimpleDB Developer Guide, we going to sign up for an AWS account, download and install the necessary libraries, and create little code snippets for exploring SimpleDB.

Building a News Aggregating Site in Joomla!
Bad news is always good news for the press. This is why Vaughan Pyre has decided to take advantage of this fact and creates a website that will aggregate bad news and weird happenings from all over the world. In this article by Timi Ogunjobi, author of Joomla! 1.5 Site Blueprints, the content of the site will be entirely derived from Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds from several sources (each feed being automatically fetched and its items displayed on the website).
Weird Hap'nins requirements will be the need to:
- Get external feed sources and allocate them to menu links on the website
- Create the means to automatically fetch and display article items located in the feeds
- Display the latest content from all feed sources on the front page
User Authentication with Codeigniter 1.7 using Facebook Connect
In a previous article we covered User Authentication with Codeigniter 1.7 using Twitter oAuth. In this article by Adam Griffiths, author of CodeIgniter 1.7 Professional Development, we will continue our discussion on how we can utilize third-party authentication methods by using Facebook Connect.
Facebook Connect is just like Twitter oAuth, but for Facebook accounts. It doesn't use the oAuth protocol, so its workings might seem slightly different to developers. To users, however, the difference is marginal. Just like in Twitter oAuth, users do not need to enter any of their account credentials on your website or application—it is all handled by Facebook.Read User Authentication with Codeigniter 1.7 using Facebook Connect in full
User Authentication with Codeigniter 1.7 using Twitter oAuth
User authentication is an important part of many applications. Let's look at how we would utilize third-party authentication methods. oAuth is an open protocol for secure user authentication across APIs. It allows users to gain limited access to websites by using their Twitter credentials. It's a very sound method of user authentication, and doesn't take too much work to get going. Twitter oAuth is used by hundreds of third-party Twitter clients and mashups—just to give you an idea of how useful it can be.
In this article by Adam Griffiths, author of CodeIgniter 1.7 Professional Development, we will:
- Learn how Twitter oAuth works
- Create a library for authentication
- Utilize the library in order to create an application to demonstrate how it works

What happens, if for example, a waist size is S, but your bust size is 36B. Does the shaper allow for differences in sizes and still maintains its objective of shaping the body?

I was torn giving 4 or 5 stars, but settled on 4. I am 5'8 and the suit is plenty long, however, if you are the least bit over weight, it will feel more like squeezing into a girdle. The bra is perfect for my size 38B. The fabric is very comfortable. I am gradually losing weight from 160 to 142, so I am hoping the fabric gives a little more. Otherwise, I am very satisfied.

Magnify your bust size by 2! This strapless bra gives you everything you are looking for in a bra; the cups center & increase your cup size giving you that extreme push up you adore. Super high quality design for its contour cups made of an ultralight incorporated padding with memory form - flexibility to adapt to your bust shape. Wear it strapless! Anti-slip silicone elastic along bustline, underbust and back to keep bra firmly in place.
I love this bra, super fast shipping and I wore it out the night i received it, an old friend asked if i got my boobs done!. It is super comfortable dramatically adds two cup sizes, it makes me feel so confident in my clothes now!

Perhaps magnetic fields were at play as a retired professor drew the lucky key to a new car.
Seelyville resident William Trinler proved to be the winner Friday in a United Way of the Wabash Valley fundraising contest with a 2012 Chevrolet Sonic LS Sedan at stake. Valued at $14,675, the car was donated as a prize by Terre Haute Chevrolet.
The 83-year-old retired chemistry professor from Indiana State University denied any magic was involved in the drawing, where he and two other contestants pulled out keys to vehicles, with only one fitting the Sonic.
"Through no accomplishments of our own, I can assure you. Dumb luck," he chuckled, offering a bow to a small crowd inside the dealership.
The names of Trinler, Jim Bosley and Matt Blair were randomly drawn from a pool of 3,000 new donors and contributors who had increased their donation to the United Way by $50 or more, said Troy Fears, the organization's executive director.
All three wore neon green "Live United" for the key drawing, with Blair, an employee of Terre Haute Savings Bank, going first, followed by Bosley, an employee of First Financial Bank, then Trinler. But the first two keys proved invalid to the Sonic, and it was ultimately Trinler's which started the car.
Blair, who received a free auto detailing as a consolation prize, said the event was fun as he thanked Terre Haute Chevrolet and the United Way.
"It's good to give back and help out in the community," he said.
Brian Boyce can be reached a 812-231-4253 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I believe the parts list on this one will be -
Clarity Cap PX on the midbass/woofers and Clarity SA or ESA on the tweeter. Mox resistors most likely.

We can see pretty clearly that those who wield a 'Tool have a thirst for power/control, and each 'Tool seems to provide them with a means to achieve that goal.
- Wanda: Controls a vast, upkeep-free force that is loyal to her rather than her overlord.
- Stanley: Was able to tame rare units that were also loyal to him alone, and he rose quickly through the ranks as a result.
- Charlie: "Publicly" admits to a desire to control all information/espionage in Erfworld, and has the Thinkamancy to do it.
- Ansom: Though not an attuned user, he did have quite the superiority complex and was very attached to the 'Pliers.
Given the 'Dish's powers, and this psychological profile of those who have 'Tools (whether the personality is because of exposure to a 'Tool, or an inherent trait that made Fate choose them as an attuned user is unknown) I can hazard a few guesses at Charlie's true nature.
The first that comes to mind is that Charlie in fact an "ordinary" Thinkamancer and still has an Overlord...but somehow he has justified totally mind-controlling that Overlord. In fact, the voice we think of as Charlie may in fact the the voice of the Overlord.
This could explain why Charlie only allows a handful of Archons to see him.
If this is not the case, then it would appear Charlie is a legitimate Overlord. This means that either:
- Heirs can pop with Casting ability.
- A caster can be appointed Heir Designate.
The final possibility is that Charlie is a resident of Stupidworld and was brought here just like Parson, perhaps by the GMTTA. This of course means that he as a unit could "break" cannon like Parson does, though the previous two hypotheses suggest new cannon that would allow for the possibility that Charlie may not be a unique case.
Any thoughts, or references that support any of these theories?

In Detail
Providing appealing plots and graphs is an essential part of various fields such as scientific research, data analysis, and so on. Matplotlib, the Python 2D plotting library, is used to produce publication-quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms. This book explains creating various plots, histograms, power spectra, bar charts, error charts, scatter-plots and much more using the powerful Matplotlib library to get impressive out-of-the-box results.
This book gives you a comprehensive tour of the key features of the Matplotlib Python 2D plotting library, right from the simplest concepts to the most advanced topics. You will discover how easy it is to produce professional-quality plots when you have this book to hand.
The book introduces the library in steps. First come the basics: introducing what the library is, its important prerequisites (and terminology), installing and configuring Matplotlib, and going through simple plots such as lines, grids, axes, and charts. Then we start with some introductory examples, and move ahead by discussing the various programming styles that Matplotlib allows, and several key features.
Further, the book presents an important section on embedding applications. You will be introduced to three of the best known GUI libraries—GTK+, Qt, and wxWidgets—and presented with the steps to implement to include Matplotlib in an application written using each of them. You will learn through an incremental approach: from a simple example that presents the peculiarities of the GUI library, to more complex ones, using GUI designer tools.
Because the Web permeates all of our activities, a part of the book is dedicated to showing how Matplotlib can be used in a web environment, and another section focuses on using Matplotlib with common Python web frameworks, namely, Pylons and Django. Last, but not least, you will go through real-world examples, where you will see some real situations in which you can use Matplotlib.
This book is a step-by-step tutorial to the Python 2D plotting library Matplotlib, which teaches you from the ground up to advanced levels with plenty of examples, code, and images.
This is a practical, hands-on book, with a lot of code and images. It presents the real code that generates every image and describes almost every single line of it, so that you know exactly what's going on.
Introductory, descriptive, and theoretical parts are mixed with examples, so that reading and understanding them is easy. All of the examples build gradually with code snippets, their explanations, and plot images where necessary with the complete code and output presented at the end.
Who this book is for
This book is essentially for Python developers who have a good knowledge of Python; no knowledge of Matplotlib is required. You will be creating 2D plots using Matplotlib in no time at all.

Monty is the true definition of a love bug. He's a sweet, affectionate and playful pit-mix who just wants to be loved and be part of a family. He's a handsome boy who's only a year old and weighs in at about 60 pounds. His body is still playing catch-up with his big, blocky head, and he has a big, warm bully smile that lights up when he sees you.
Monty's story is one that demonstrates the best and worst in people. He was found running free in an abandoned parking lot near a major highway by Lauren Bradford, a Good Samaritan and local senior at Fairfax High School. Lauren's parents were away for the weekend, and she took it upon herself to take this sweet pup in, canvass the local neighborhoods and post flyers and ads on Craigslist in hopes of finding Monty's family.
When Lauren's parents returned home, they supported their daughter's act of kindness, and started reaching out to friends and family to help find Monty a new home. Their house was already full, with three kids and two senior dogs with health issues, but they wanted to do right by this sweet dog who had quickly captured the family's heart.
They soon came to realize that finding a home for black pit pup like Monty is no easy task. In shelters and rescues, black dogs are typically the slowest to be adopted, and when you factor in the prejudice surrounding pit bull-type pups, it's that much harder. Even their calls to numerous dog rescue groups initially fell on deaf ears.
A few days later, they received a call from Monty's owner who saw one of Lauren's flyers. She said she was having "boyfriend issues" and suggested they take him to the local shelter.
Stunned by her response and lack of concern for her own dog, the Bradfords stayed committed to Monty, determined to find a solution. After reading they reached out to us for help. Mutts Matter receives calls like this every day, and we're unable to help every dog, but we respected the Bradfords' commitment to Monty and their willingness to continue to provide a safe place for him while we found a good foster home.
When we picked up Monty to take him to his new foster family, it was immediately clear that he was an exceptionally sweet dog, and very calm for a young pup. Most dogs at his age are bouncing off the walls if they aren't fresh off of a long walk, but Monty greeted us warmly and behaved very well from the get-go.
We took him for a long walk, and he walked well on the leash with very little pulling. When we stopped on a grassy hill to take a few glamour shots, silly Monty flipped on his back and slid all the way down like a seal on a water slide, enjoying the pure pleasure in the freedom of the outdoors. He is such a loving, good-natured dog, and as we drove to his foster home, he laid his head on my lap, so content just to be close to someone.
Like any young pup, Monty is still a work in progress and learning the rules of home life. He has been known to jump up on counters and likes to chew things, so he will need to be monitored initially and given some durable toys to chew on while he progresses through adolescence to adulthood.
Even though he is relatively calm for his age, he does still have puppy energy and will need regular exercise, stimulation and playtime to stay healthy and balanced. Monty is already crate-trained, and knows his basic commands. He will do almost anything for a treat, and gently takes them from your hand when offered.
Monty's favorite thing is to be around his people. He did well in the Bradford home with three active kids and a steady stream of visitors, and he greets new people with ease and a friendly tail wiggle. He also likes other dogs, and would do well paired with a playful, balanced pup who will not take advantage of his more submissive nature, or as an only dog in a family that has quality time to spend with him.
A special Thank You to Lauren and the Bradford family for doing right by Monty and stepping up for a pup in need. They have made a difference in his life and it's because of their compassion and willingness to help that Monty will find a great home and family who loves him.

Lisa's notes for this recipe:
When my mother passed away, a close family friend made us two wonderful cakes. One was the Kentucky Apple cake, which was a hit with the big guys, and the other was this moist, dense chocolate cake, which was a hit with my three sons and their friends. My twin boys requested this for their birthday with one stipulation - they each wanted their own cake, just for them! Oh, and don't be thrown off by the inclusion of coffee in the recipe. You would never know it's there. Matter of fact, if my boys knew it was in there, they would freak out since they hate coffee!
It's true... This is one of the best chocolate cakes we have ever made! Simple and straightforward, this is one of those recipes that everyone will love. (Be sure to have plenty o' milk on hand... yum!)
Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer.
Add eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Beat at medium speed for two minutes. Batter will be thin.
Pour batter into a greased and floured 9x13 pan or two 9 inch cake pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes for a 9x13, or 30-35 minutes for layer pans.
Combine frosting ingredients and mix with a hand or stand mixer. Spread frosting on cooled cakes.

Le Figaro says the Pope Francis gets up at 4:30 am and that he is not to be called Francis I, the Vatican insists, and certainly not to be confused with the French king Francis I.
Also, it says that he is missing a piece of the lung, not the whole lung and that while he has never revealed the nature of his illness, specialists think it was TB. Le Figaro also says that he withdrew from the 2005 race with Ratzinger citing poor health and that his health is indeed fragile. OTOH, the Vatican spokesman says that "those who know him, had always seen him in good health."

A round-about spokesperson answer, if you ask me. Regardless, I hope he stays healthy and strong. He is going to be busy.

The Methodist Hospital is about to undergo big changes to its property in the Medical Center. In the largest expansion in its history, the hospital will spend $200 million to construct new towers and renovate its existing building.
Palmira Arellano, vice-president of marketing and public relations at the Methodist Hospital, said the renovation and construction project will add two patients towers – one for adults and one for children.
"It'll change the entire look and footprint of the hospital and it will expand the campus by about 445,000 square feet," Arellano said.
As if putting on large scale plays and musicals weren't enough work, The Playhouse had to find a way to put itself back together after weather damage it suffered from a thunderstorm last May. A rain-damaged roof soaked through and ceiling plaster came raining down on the seats at their Russell Hill Rogers Theater.
As Playhouse CEO Asia Ciaravino notes, fixing a theater is tough work for people who just want to entertain you in one.

With the City of San Antonio taking the unpopular step of closing its seven community learning centers, what does the work load look like for organizations trying to teach people to read and how to pass GEDs. Upcoming changes to the GED test will make it more difficult to pass them, especially for adults, service providers worry.
The Texas Department of Insurance has finalized a list of additional rules federal navigators will have to follow before helping anyone sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act's website, Healthcare.gov.
The rules come as a response to a letter issued by Gov. Rick Perry that points to privacy and security concerns about the current federal standard for navigators working in Texas to help navigate the Affordable Care Act's website.
United Airlines is providing the plane for a special Christmas "Fantasy Flight" for 75 terminally-ill children this Saturday, Dec. 7.
The event is a San Antonio-local effort in cooperation with the American Cancer Society.
The "Flight to the North Pole" is an elaborately-staged scenario where the kids arrive at a private airport hangar and are run through security checks with real TSA security agents.
"Once they're cleared and have their boarding passes, they get on the airplane," said event organizer Connie Harrison.
A new exhibit at the Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum is getting some heated interest and the reason is probably because if its subject mater, and size. It's not exactly something you can hang on your wall.
"The sculpture at Blue Star is approximately 70 ft. long," said Blane de St. Croix, the artist who created the sculpture he calls Broken Landscape III.
The City of San Antonio's Animal Care Services operates a dog shelter facility on the Southside at Brooks City-Base. In its three year history, it hasn't attracted much attention. It was used for overflow from the main campus located off Hwy 151 near the San Antonio Food Bank.
Several weeks ago the Brooks facility transitioned from an overflow shelter to quarantine. It is now responsible for holding animals for bite or cruelty cases.
On Tuesday the Texas Supreme Court heard from attorneys representing competing waste disposal companies in a defamation lawsuit.
The two companies at odds are Waste Management and Texas Disposal System, who runs a landfill in Southeast Travis County and is the source of the defamation case at hand. According to court records, an anonymous action alert fax originating from Waste Management was sent to various groups, pointing to environmental concerns with the TDS landfill.

Sleeves designed with a bit of extra length to fit over your gloves and keep snow out when strapping into your bindings. Body lengths vary and are tailored specifically around each jacket's style. PANTS Classic, rider-focused articulated fit, built with room to sag and layer underneath, without being overly baggy. Based on rider feedback, leg circumference is slightly narrower from thigh to cuff without looking pinner.
