The big gamble: How MLB's Pete Rose decision could reshape its thinking on bettingJeff Passan at Yahoo Sports 1 day ago
Gambling is omnipresent in sports these days, the god that silently drives so much of its interest. It's no longer the harmless NCAA office pool or the three-team teaser on a boys' weekend in Vegas. It's the NBA commissioner touting its legalization in The New York Times and the governor of New Jersey pushing for the same in his state and daily fantasy leagues raking in hundreds of millions of dollars from venture-capital speculators and the subculture that lives for the sort of gossip that percolated late Tuesday night.
A Twitter account posted screenshots that were allegedly direct messages from Miami Marlins starter Jarred Cosart with allusions to gambling. Cosart's account was then nuked. Another account purported to be from Cosart sprung up, said his original one was hacked, then disappeared itself. Major League Baseball said it was investigating.
The god is everywhere, begging for him to kneel, knowing it takes a stronger man not to than one who does.
Why getting a nearly 30-year-old with a possible arm injury makes sense for DodgersJeff Passan at Yahoo Sports 2 days ago
Five months into the Andrew Friedman regime, it's becoming clearer and clearer how his Los Angeles Dodgers are going to operate. They covet roster flexibility. They prioritize growing high-end talent internally. They're in the midst of assembling a think tank of behind-the-scenes people to investigate every little area in which they can improve. And when it won't have a deleterious effect on the aforementioned areas, they will flex their Venice-quality financial muscle.
The former three make the latter so very scary to the other 29 teams in baseball, which have seen the New York Yankees spend, spend, spend their way to middling results because they hemmed themselves in with an aging and inflexible core, biffed on the farm and never built the analytics warehouse a team with such financial resources warrants. It's why Tuesday, even as the Dodgers gave more years and dollars to Cuban infielder Hector Olivera than any other team was willing, it was difficult to fault them with profligacy.

It's World Series or bust for the MarinersJeff Passan at Yahoo Sports 3 days ago
PEORIA, Ariz. – Over three weeks this offseason, Felix Hernandez hopscotched around Europe, from Istanbul to Cappadocia to Prague to Salzburg. Amid the sights and shopping, he couldn't stop thinking about Seattle and what was happening with the franchise to which he wedded himself when it looked so desperate and forlorn.
Every few days, Hernandez would text Robinson Cano and ask if it was happening. It was Nelson Cruz, the major league home run leader, signing with the Mariners, like Cano had done the previous offseason. While in Prague, Hernandez got the message he'd been waiting for: Cruz was coming to Seattle, and between his arrival and the leftover core from last season's team that missed October by one game, the Mariners, postseason-free since their 116-win juggernaut of 2001, won't be satisfied with anything less.
"Close is not good enough anymore," Hernandez said. "Our goal is to make the playoffs and win the whole thing. We've got the pieces now."

Why major league-ready Kris Bryant should start the season in the minorsJeff Passan at Yahoo Sports 8 days ago
MESA, Ariz. – At this juncture of spring training, when everybody in uniform wants the interminable days to end and the real games to begin, when the beat writers have exhausted their trove of story ideas, when the fans latch on to anything new or novel as a beacon shining toward opening day, a debate like the one over Kris Bryant's immediate future gets pumped full of bluster and narrative that simply doesn't match reality.
In a world of gray issues, this is the rare black-and-white dispute, one with a truth as evident as it is disheartening. Of course the Chicago Cubs should start Bryant at Triple-A Iowa to start the season, even if he is their best option at third base right now. Do not blame Theo Epstein for it. Do not blame Cubs ownership for it. Blame the system to which players and owners agreed that incentivizes this sort of behavior.
Is nine games in 2015 greater than 162 games in 2021?

Aroldis Chapman survived toughest challenge of his career, so now what?Jeff Passan at Yahoo Sports 11 days ago
GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Baseball's version of the Cuban revolution began July 1, 2009, in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, of all places. Aroldis Chapman walked out of a hotel where he was staying for an international tournament, jumped into a car, fled to freedom and birthed a half-billion-dollar industry.
Long before Chapman, of course, Cuban baseball players defected to the United States with occasional success. His arrival was different. He possessed a left arm that eventually would throw a baseball harder than any human being ever had been clocked. His finest years weren't behind him, either. Chapman was the young potential superstar whose $30 million contract alerted a generation of tremendous players that riches awaited them.
Teams have guaranteed $500.5 million to the 13 highest-paid Cuban players since Chapman arrived. From Jose Abreu to Yoan Moncada, Yasiel Puig to Yasmany Tomas, Yoenis Cespedes to Jorge Soler, the influx of Cubans has changed baseball. None thanks him, exactly, because, Chapman said, "You don't talk about what you did or what you left behind." Which, it was pointed out to Chapman, is rather sad.
"No," he said, "that's Cuban."

The 2014 Ultimate Free-Agent TrackerJeff Passan at Yahoo Sports 15 days ago
Here is the free-agent class of 2014-15, ranked from Nos. 1 to 165. The rankings are based on a number of variables, including each player's history, age and potential, and are as much about predicted performance as market value, providing a general outline as free agency unfolds between now and spring training.
Bookmark this page in your browser or favorite it on Twitter – and return frequently. As the offseason progresses, Yahoo Sports will update it with news of signings and their impact on the other free agents.
1. Max Scherzer, SP: SIGNED To turn down a guaranteed $144 million contract, as Scherzer did last spring, takes an enormous amount of faith in self and elbow. And while Scherzer's luck on balls in play waned a bit from his 2013 Cy Young season, his strikeout, walk and home run rates were practically identical over the last two seasons. Scherzer, 30, agreed to a seven-year deal with the Nationals.
50. Ryan Vogelsong, SP: SIGNED At that point in the list where consistent 180-inning guys become eminently valuable. The Giants retained him on a one-year deal.
Inside the new system that wants to revolutionize how we look at pitchesJeff Passan at Yahoo Sports 15 days ago
On Aug. 4, 2010, with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Boston Red Sox sent veteran utilityman Bill Hall to the plate as a pinch hitter. Hall quickly faced a 0-2 count, and on the fourth pitch of the at-bat, he grounded the ball weakly to second base to end the inning. This looked like just another dog-days plate appearance, that final pitch every bit as ordinary as the name of the man who threw it: Joe Smith.
At the time, Smith's career wasn't terribly distinguished, either. He was 26 years old, a sidearming right-handed reliever who overwhelmed right-handed batters like Hall but struggled enough that his ERA going into that game was 5.24. Of all the players to throw the single finest pitch of the last seven years, Smith was far from the likeliest candidate. And to the naked eye, it looked like little more than a regular 93-mph fastball in the upper-right quadrant of the strike zone.

Sources: Padres looming as favorite to sign Cuban infielder Hector OliveraJeff Passan at Yahoo Sports 16 days ago
The San Diego Padres are positioning themselves as a favorite to land Cuban infielder Hector Olivera, showing a willingness to spend significant money after strong-but-failed attempts to sign Cubans Yasmany Tomas and Yoan Moncada earlier this offseason, sources told Yahoo Sports.
The market for Olivera heated up Tuesday, with the Padres considering an offer upwards of $50 million, according to sources. The Atlanta Braves, Oakland A's and Los Angeles Dodgers remain in the mix, with the former two balking at the potential price tag and the latter still weighing whether to enter the foray aggressively.
San Diego's salvo is another assertive move from first-year general manager A.J. Preller, who has remade the team this offseason with an un-Padres-like spending spree. While he increased San Diego's star power and profile by adding starter James Shields, along with sluggers Justin Upton, Matt Kemp, Wil Myers and Derek Norris, the Padres' infield remains its weakest spot.

The power struggle over Josh Hamilton and why Rob Manfred needs to do what's rightJeff Passan at Yahoo Sports 17 days ago
The Josh Hamilton case should be about his addiction and only his addiction. It's what anybody fighting substance abuse deserves: The ability to remain sober with as few distractions as possible. The very last thing he needs is people with vested interests in his career twisting his problems into something about themselves. This is not about the Los Angeles Angels, not about Major League Baseball's drug program, not about anybody but Hamilton and his disease.
And yet here he stands, not the addict in need of unified support from everyone around baseball but a pawn in a game of politics and money and power. The fight over Hamilton has started, and as ugly as it is, it's bound to get worse unless Rob Manfred intervenes and does the right thing.

This is about Josh Hamilton and his disease. He doesn't need another fight to worry about.

Baseball's arm epidemic is getting worse, and Yu Darvish is just the latestJeff Passan at Yahoo Sports 19 days ago
Earlier this week, the Japanese Orthopaedic Society revealed the results of a massive survey of elementary-age baseball players. More than 10,000 children were asked a series of questions about pain in their throwing arms, and the results were staggering, particularly for a country that prides itself on building strong arms through endless repetition.
Nearly 6,000 kids reported feeling pain in their throwing arms. Among pitchers, 49 percent said they experienced a shoulder or elbow injury. Not even 5 percent of those in pain bothered visiting an orthopedist, the specialist trained to treat such injuries. The report suggested wholesale changes in the Japanese baseball establishment.
Such criticism tends to find as much traction in Japan as worn-down sneakers on wet blacktop. What resonates there, particularly among the children, are the fortunes of the stars who leave Japan for Major League Baseball. Perhaps now, with Saturday's news that Yu Darvish's ulnar collateral ligament is damaged and almost assuredly will require Tommy John surgery, Japan will recognize the depth of the arm epidemic plaguing baseball.
This is a worldwide problem, and it's only going to get worse.

With Elections, A Look At U.S.-Russian Relations
By editor
Three years ago this month, President Obama said he hoped to promote more cooperation between the U.S. and Russia. It would be hard to see where that may have happened recently, as Vladimir Putin approaches power again. Host Scott Simon speaks with the U.S. ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, about Sunday's elections in Russia.

What do I do with all this junk (potting mix).
As a preface, I live in a small rowhouse,and most of my gardening is done on the balcony (5x10?) off my home office.
So, I made a whole bunch of DIY SWC's out of soda bottles, and have been growing mostly herbs and small veggies in them ( couple types of basil, catnip, and some small hot pepper plants). Some of the plants are doing great, but most of them seem to have initially grown great, and are now showing signs of water deficiency. I repotted a couple of them this weekend in 5-1-1, and their roots were in pretty tough shape. The potting mix (Which I cut some with perlite) seemed to be pretty wet.
So, to make a long story short, I have a whole bunch of plants that are going to have to eventually go into 5-1-1, and a whole lot of almost new potting soil that is simply holding too much moisture. Is there anything that can be done with this?
I have a big 18" or so pot ( I think its styro or some sort of foam), might it work in this? Any ideas? Any veggies that grow well in soil that is a bit on the wet side?
A tomato plant can use up a lot of moisture in the heat and sun of summer as its roots grow to fill a container, so that may be an option.
I generally dispose of old potting soil and peat based messes by throwing them into my raised beds outside, but since you don't have that option, maybe you could give it to someone who composts or has gardens? A friend or relative, perhaps?
Honestly, I don't know of too many plant types that like peat based soils that tend to hold perched water... most plants prefer to dry out in a timely fashion so their roots can "breathe". I wish I could offer more suggestions...

Plastic bottle cap crafts help you go green and get creative at the same time. Make an Aleene's Bottle Cap Birdie from Heidi Borchers and display it on your desk or mantel. This eco-friendly project is simple enough for kids to make but still so much fun for crafters of all ages.
Save your plastic water or soda bottle caps and use them to costruct this project. Start by drilling two small holes into the cap. Cut small cardboard circles that could fit inside the cap and cover it with fabric and batting. For the head, use a smaller cap and repeat the process. Cut two pieces of wire and thread them through the holes in the cap. and spiral them around so they are secure. Create feet by simply bending the wire into a triangle shape. Assemble the bird by gluing the two caps together and adding feathers and facial features.
For a step-by-step tutorial of this project, check out Plastic Bottle Cap Bird.

Island hopping #5.
This island was constructed and planted in 2005.
It has for the most part stayed as it was first planted. There have been only several additions and subtractions.
This will complete my series on island plantings.
The next series will cover front, side, rear boundary. This will also include foundation plantings.
Pinus mugo 'Zundert' in winter color.
Pinus contorta 'Chief Joseph in winter color.
Island #5. Conifers and companions.
Picea abies 'Little Gem'
Ginkgo biloba 'Witch's Broom'
Cedrus libani 'Green Prince'
Platycladus orientalis 'Morgan'
Pinus strobus 'Horsford'
Pinus mugo 'Zundert'
Picea pungens 'St. Mary's Broom'
Picea abies 'Karlotejn' on standard.
Microbiota decussata on standard.
Picea abies 'Farnsburg'
Acer palmatum 'Kiyo-hime'
Thuja occidentalis 'Bobazam'
Picea mariana 'Echiniformis' Most sold as glauca in the states as this one was. I believe it to be mariana.
Picea pungens 'Glauca Slenderiana'. Purchased with this cultivar name. True cultivar name 'The Blues.
Picea pungens 'Theum' Beautiful blue color.
Pinus mugo 'Sherwood Compact'
Lonicera nittada 'Brilon' Noted primarily for its foliage, this low-growing ground cover has a golden yellow glow. Creamy white flowers appear in spring.
Picea abies 'Dan's Dwarf'
Pinus contorta 'Chief Joseph'
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Golden Sprite'
Picea abies 'Compressina'
Picea orientalis 'Gracilis'
Pinus mugo 'Tatry'

Juniperus horizontalis 'Mother lode'
Pinus mugo 'Tyrolean'
Pinus parviflora 'Glauca'
Cotoneaster dammeri 'Streibs Findling'
llex x. 'Mondo' Little Raschal
Nice setting of older specimens!
Some name corrections:
Picea pungens 'Theum'
Must be written as 'Thuem'
Picea abies 'Compressina'
Must be written as 'Cupressina'
"Picea mariana 'Echiniformis' Most sold as glauca in the states as this one was. I believe it to be mariana."
This is true, it's a Picea mariana clone.
Picea mariana 'Echiniformis' is also the name I used for this conifer.
Beautiful island bed Dave. You know I love to look at this one because it's such a wonderful mix and everything looks so good together, but it also has one of my very favorites that I fell in love with and have never seen another on standard on here other than yours. I just love the Microbiota decussata on standard and think it is so fantastic looking.
Yes I do candle prune the Pinus p. 'Glauca' every year.
The Picea omorika in the first photo in the back ground is "Gotelli Weeping'.
In my next series of front, side, rear boundary and foundation plantings there will be a better photo.

It's an art form that you improve on over the years.
Most conifers can be maintained to look and grow in a certain way for a time. When their time is up then you replace or move them to a different setting. Many have set up shop in a new area of my garden. I like to refer to this as (Green recycling).
Long term planning for the future and care in the now
keeps potential problems at a minimum and your garden responds giving you the best look possible.
Dave, I just noticed you have a nicely shaped Peve. Did you let that one go or have you cut that one back?
I just have a baby now but plan to cut it back (as recommended by others) starting next year to get a more full symetrical look.
Wonderful job, Dave.
I like you design and philosophy.
The 'Green recycling' works for me too. The hard part is determining when a plant's time is up so it has to be moved or cut down when all avenues of pruning have been explored.
Lately I've had to make some difficult decisions myself.

The late night television warfare has long been a one-sided battle. Despite critical favor siding consistently with The Late Show host David Letterman, rival Jay Leno has maintained a steady grip on the 11:35 time slot's viewership, with The Tonight Show dominating in the ratings game for years. But a new addition to the battlefield could very well mix up the fight entirely — Jimmy Kimmel, whose ABC talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! was bumped up from its longtime midnight broadcast starting on Monday, reportedly reigned supreme with Tuesday night's ratings.
Kimmel's Tuesday night broadcast, which featured guests Jennifer Aniston and No Doubt, earned 3.097 million viewers, beating both Letterman's and Leno's intakes for the evening. It's far too soon to tell if Kimmel will stake a consistent claim for late night championship, but the fresh and often ribald young comedian will certainly give both Letterman (who Kimmel lauds as a hero) and Leno (of whom Kimmel has not as kind things to say) a run for their money.

Some good reasons to have one might be:
- If forceps or vacuum extraction are NEEDED for some reason, they are going to want to make more room for the tools
- To reach in to deal with shoulder dystocia
- If mom really has been pushing a long time (and a long time is not, like, 10 minutes... I pushed for 6 hours, myself) with baby's head engaged but no SD, I dunno, maybe it could help. I had such a situation but ultimately I chose to tear on purpose, and it was done. I don't think anyone could know if the tear would have been better or worse if I had an episiotomy (I didn't). It probably could go either way, sometimes it's better and sometimes it's worse.
I'm not a trusting person & I wasn't comfortable with the idea of a hospital birth so I totally & completely understand this anxiety, but try to do the best you can to make your birth experience a positive one - and I think at this point the most important thing to do, after getting a labor support person, is to work towards greatly reducing this anxiety somehow.
Re: your q about tearing worse with subsequent births...I tore quite a lot with my first- I needed stitches in half a dozen locations (although none of the tears individually were really big). Anyway, I didn't tear at all with either of my others.
Posted via Mobile Device
Really? I pushed 3 hours with my first with a swollen cervix that left a lip and doc had both hands in pulling it back while I pushed. No episiotomy and no tear-just a slight "skid mark". Forceps or vacuum I can see, but not always and I don't see why it'd be necessary for hands/arms in the canal.
|"Patient delivered in a squat position. Patient was warned of the increased risk of tearing. Patient did tear and required several stitches."
If you can at all manage to labour at home in water and only go to the hospital at the last minute... or even just miss the chance entirely
I just wanted to mention that IME, these are becoming less and less common. Every OB I interviewed w/my last pregnancy stated that they "did not do routine epis." And I have never heard a peep of one, in either live birth I've had.
I think you are more likely to be fighting a section than an episiotomy!
There's gonna be so much to remember while I'm giving birth- I'm gonna be constantly telling them not to circumcise the baby and constantly telling them to keep the baby with me for all procedures and constantly telling them no bottles and pacifiers and constantly telling them to screen my visitors (the baby's father was abusive and threatened to take the baby) and now it occured to me that I will also be constantly telling them not to cut me (in any way!) unless it's a life or death situation. I'm worried that I will be unable to keep up with denying their demands, and I'm also aware of the fact that, even if they mean well, and even if they really do try to do everything my way, it's alot for the doctor and the nurses, etc. to remember.
Not exactly on topic here, but wanted to try to ease your mind about the bolded part above. Circumcision is an elective procedure that requires your consent prior to the surgery - there should be no fight to protect your baby from this!
Jessica, haven't you heard about baby Mario who was circed against his parents' wishes in a Miami hospital last month? The parents said again and again they didn't want him circumcised. He was in the NICU. They went home for one hour to get a change of clothes, and during that time he was circed.
Jessica, haven't you heard about baby Mario who was circed against his parents' wishes in a Miami hospital last month?
Yeah, that's part of my concern- it happens, and I do know people who have had close calls, as in baby taken and prepped, only to have the nurse notice there was no consent signed, literally seconds before the baby was to be cut. I don't want my main concern giving birth to be to keep everyone's genitals safe, I want to concentrating on bonding on my new baby!
I have heard again and again about things being done to babies against parents' wishes. Whether it is circ, vaxes, giving formula or sugar water or pacifiers.

Apple readies 'iTablet' device for books, albums and movies
SAN JOSE – Apple is poised to once again revolutionize the entertainment industry – this time with an "iTablet" portable device that lets users download and read digital books, watch movies and play games while also sparking new consumer interest in music albums packed with material such as video clips and liner notes, according to a new report.
The touch-screen, Internet-connected gadget, which the company could launch before the holidays, aims to do what Microsoft failed to accomplish and would instantly compete with Amazon's Kindle, Sony's Reader and a soon-to-launch device from Barnes & Noble, the Financial Times reported this week. The iPod touch-like device is expected to have a 10-inch screen.
Analysts and bloggers have talked at length about an Apple tablet device, with many pointing to an early 2010 launch.
Some have speculated the new product would be an extension of Apple's iPod line, which owns 70 percent of the North American market for digital music players but is starting to lose momentum. Last week, the company said iPod sales sagged 7 percent to 10.2 million during the quarter that ended in June, as compared with the same period a year ago.
Some analysts say such a product could fill a lucrative niche in Apple's product lineup between the iPod and the iMac.
Apple would be leery about releasing a tablet gadget that could compete with its MacBook computers, said Stephen Baker, director of industry analysis for the research organization NPD Group. Apple's laptop lineup is more of a premium product aimed at consumers willing to pay more for a better computing experience. In the second quarter of this year, Apple had just under 9 percent of the U.S. PC market. Its iPod and iPhone pocket products, though, are aimed at the masses, as a tablet-type gadget would be, he said.
"They need to keep those kinds of products away from the MacBook line," Baker said. "They don't want to give people a reason to trade down."
Despite the latest rumors, longtime Apple watcher Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, isn't convinced the company is ready to unveil some sort of new touch-screen device any time soon.
"Apple has a lot of products that they test and play with in the lab. It's unclear to me whether this is a lab project or a real product," he said.
He does, though, believe some sort of new digital album concept is in the works. The plan, code-named "Cocktail," is to bundle features such as video clips and lyric sheets with albums, according to the Financial Times.
"It's about re-creating the heyday of the album when you would sit around with your friends looking at the artwork while you listened to the music," the paper quoted an unidentified executive familiar with the project. The companies are looking for a September launch, according to the report.
In addition to its losses from online piracy of music, the recording industry has taken a big revenue hit from the changing behavior of consumers, who are moving away from buying complete albums. Between 2007 and 2008, sales of download singles rose 27 percent to 1.03 billion, while sales of physical CDs dropped 25 percent to 384 million units, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Download albums rose 34 percent to 57 million.

Tall Rush or Reed that can survive seasonal flooding and mowing
edlincoln(6A)June 18, 2013
There is a a spot that is flooded in the Spring but dries and is mowed in the summer.
Can anyone think of any kinds of ornamental grass, rush, or reed that can survive when the field is flooded and would look pretty, but which can also survive mowing in the summer. Ideally I want something Native to North America that either won't grow in the (surrounding) spots that are dry and mowed in the spring, or will sort of blend in when mowed. Zone 6, lots of sun, good soil.
I like the look of cattails and Spring flowers, but there probably isn't something like that fits the bill.

Eco tourism at Jungle Lodges Resorts
Head off to the Bheemeshwari (Cauvery Fishing Camp) Jungle Lodges for a memorable week end spent at eco tourism. Thats what we did for our second wedding anniversary, and we loved every minute of the time we spent there! :)
We left bangalore a bit late (arnd 10 AM) but will advise you to leave earlier to beat the heat (depending on the season of course!)...we reached there by around 12:30 jus in time for a nice welcome drink and a sumptuous lunch...
the place was awesome! huts, tents and small rooms so close to nature, on the bank of the river, surrounded by trees is an inviting sight to anyone and we were mighty thrilled with the palce...loads of birds of such brilliant colors were present and we went mad, clicking away to glory and hopin that some of those pics turn out good!! :))
after a nice lunch, we rested in a hammock which was tied in some welcome shade! we spent some "quality" time together before hopping on for a coracle ride! I have been on a coracle before but this was Aj's first time and he enjoyed it like a kid given a new toy!! :)) ... the guide (coracle guy) was very patient and explained to us everything that we can see at this time of the year!
we saw some really exotic wildlife and here is a list of them:
Kingfishers (dozens)
Cranes and egrets
Giant malabar squirrel
A few species of birds which we dont know the names yet..
last but not least a giant bald eagle flying with a prized fish catch!!!
we ended the day with a nice barbeque dinner and retried to bed tired but very happy!
Morning dawned and we went off on a trek to a nearby hillock...not exerting but the morning air, chillness and the stillness of the place was exhilarating! we saw a pack of sambar deer whizzing past at around 100mts away and a fleeting glimpse of a peacock but nothing else much apart frm the usual green and blue birds ... we then walked back along the river banks, had breakfast and left back for bangalore :)
on the whole a brilliant get away! :)

Chamrajsagar Reservoir
Chamrajsagar Reservoir: 35Kms from Bangalore, built on river Arkavati. It is called a picnic spot, but I could not get back to the resevior and only took this picture from off Magadi Road.
I would say just look at the reseviour and the submerged temple in the distance from Makadi Road, drive on to Savandurga and then go back via Mysore Road and see Machaable Dam and pass by the big Banyan tree too.
Also called Tippagondanahalli reservoir.

Hesaraghatta Lake
Take the Tumkur Road NH4 and then right on Heseraghatta Main Road. The Tumkur Road is crazy busy and the Heseraghatta Road is busy for five kilometers . Then suddenly you are in a reomote area with not much traffic on the road besides villagers on bicycles.
The lake has a remote feeling away from the Bangalore traffic. After you have visited then take the back roads through Jahali on the return to Bangalore.
Relax and put up your feet at Tamarind Tree
This is a relatively unknown destination off Kankapura Road around 15 kms from Bangalore. A couple of friends introduced us to this place where you can spend half a day easily. The interiors are done up in heritage style with wooden atrefacts that totally remind me of my grandma's house! The antique setting is enhanced by the presence of a water tank totally like a holy water tank in temples of yore. You can ask for food buffet if you are planning to be there for lunch, the feast is sumptuous! You can rent the place for a wedding/reception at an exorbitanat cost. But well worth it if you can afford it! :)
Head off on the Kanakapura Road towards Kanakapura, you need to take a left on a muddy fork, head right in the straight road and they have put up sign boards to help you get there.
Address:Avalahalli, Anjanapura Post, Kanakpura Road ,

Getaway to Nandi Hills
The place is located 60km north of Bangalore. In order to beat the heat of summers in Bangalore, Nandi Hill is the best place to be. This small hill station has been named after the bull of Hindu deity Shiva. It was once the summer retreat of Tipu Sultan and Britishers, it has now taken a shape of getaway destination.
You will have to climb about 1,175 steps to reach atop to have a splendid view of the city. Ruins of the Tipu Sultan's fort can be seen from the top. The most exciting place to see here is Tipu's Drop that is actually a 600m high cliff, used to push prisoners. The cliff provides magnificent view of the city below. Another important tourist attraction is the Yoga Nandishvara Temple which was built by Chola Kings. Amrita Sarovara is a famous lake and visited by a lot of tourists. Gandhi Nilaya and Nehru House will provide you a glimpse of life of two national leaders.
However it is very touristy and quaite a few people crowd here every weekend. Go early in the morning to catch a beautiful, misty drive and the sunrise. Watch out for sudden speed breakers in the road!

Early in twelfth century, the great Srivaishnava saint Sri Ramanujacharya took up his residence and lived here for about 14 years . It thus became a prominent centre of the Srivaishnava sect of Brahmins, who obtained from the Hoysala king Vishnuvardhana, who had become a follower of the Acharya, an assignment of the fertile tracts of land in the neighbourhood, especially of the Ashta Gramas, on either bank of the Cauvery. The temple is beautiful and the climb up offers you a fantastic view of the cauvery valley behind. The prashadham of puliyogare (tamarind rice) is famous and delicious, not to be missed!However steer away from the pesky goats that make a grab for the same!
So many lakes once you take a detour from the Mysore Road towards Melukote, you can literally walk into the lakes. (Chk photos)

Visit Shravanabelagola
Shravanabelagola in Hassan District is 157 km away from Bangalore is an important Jain centre. There is a pond and two stony hills, called Chandragiri and Indragiri. Chandragiri has the Chandragupta basadi of the Gangas and the Parashwanatha basadi here is the biggest. The town below the hill has the Jaina matha whose walls have very old paintings. Indragiri has the Gommata monolith, 58' tall, installed by a Ganga general and scholar Chavundaraya, and also Siddhara basadi, Odegal basadi, Chennanna basadi and Chauvvisa Tirthankara basadi, and also the finely engraved pillar called Tyagada Brahma Pillar. The floral designs on it are excellent. To the north of town is Jinanathapura which has the Aregal basadi and the Shantinatha basadi of Hoysala times. Shravanabelagola has over 500 inscriptions, and some of them are recording death by starving (`sallekhana') by Jaina ascetics and laymen.

sleepless journey to Mysore
We hired a taxi and driver and started off at around 0900hr. We stopped at a few sites along the way including a forced road blockade by the people from Tamil Nadu over water sharing dispute. That cost us a 2 hour wait by the roadside. Since you have to wait for the light show it is inevitable that you will return to Bangalore past midnight. While waiting for the light do try their tea, taste like teh tarik if you have been to Malaysia. To those Muslim travellers my advise is to get Muslim driver so that he can bring you to nice Muslim eateries. Our Hindu driver could not find a good one despite him asking around and presumably been there for umpteen times, so we had to settle for lunch in a hotel restaurant.
Visit a Silk (Reshme) Farm
Karnataka is the premier mulberry silk producing state in India, producing about 70% of India's silk.
Once you go into the rural areas outside of Bangalore you can see the silk production industry.
The process goes like this: the farmer buys the silk worm eggs from the government that come by the hundreds on one piece of paper. The farmer grows mulberry plants and feeds the worms in the basket. Once the worms reach a certain size they are placed in stands where they spin the cocoons. Then it is full circle back to the market.
If you can go to a place like Dodbalapur where they weave silk into sarees that is very interesting process too.
The Kannada word for silk is Reshme

Set amids the greeen exuberance of a sprawling garden is a palace straight out of the pages of british history- or so it seems. Built on the lines of medieval castles in Normandy and England, the bangalore palace is farily close imitation of Windsor Castle. It is, however a recent construction (1887). Made grand by its majestic turrets and ornamental stone work, the Palace boasts of lelegant wood carving in its interiors.

This mammoth rock which is very near to Lal Bagh has attracted world-wide geological intrest.

This rock is 3,000 million years old and in geolofical parlance, is lermed 'pennisular gneiss'.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Jimmy Walker opened a four-stroke lead over fellow Texan Jordan Spieth, shooting a 3-under 69 on Saturday in his hometown Texas Open.
Rory McIlroy made quite a first impression in America, even when he lost.

Colin Montgomerie is delighted to see Rory McIlroy take over at the top of the world rankings -- but he still thinks Tiger Woods will win the Masters next month.

Rory McIlroy is one round away from No. 1 in the world. McIlroy made two big par saves Saturday on a windy back nine at PGA National and finished with a birdie from the bunker for a 4-under 66, giving him a two-shot lead over Harris English and Tom Gillis in the Honda Classic.

Tiger Woods' agent lashed out Tuesday against Hank Haney's book, saying his "armchair psychology" about Woods was "ridiculous" and that it was clear the former swing coach only cares about self-promotion.

Where is the outrage towards the parents? THEY are the ones responsible for
feeding their children, NOT the school. The school is involved in the process
but that doesn't mean the resonsiblity is anywhere but with the PARENTS.
I'm sorry, "I forgot their balance was low" is not a good excuse. It's your child. Feed him/her.
My suggestion is schools start assessing fines to parents for going in the negative for lunch money.
The system can't be built on "pay if you want but no big deal if you don't pay"
Start fining the parents. For every dollar they go in the negative, have pay back twice that amount.

The REAL guilty ones are the parents. Next in line are the bureaucrats in the
district offices. The poor employees were made the scapegoats in typical
governmental fashion of seeking first to find someone ELSE to blame and then,
sometimes, trying to fix the problem.
Huge Kudos go to a Jazz player and his efforts to reach out to the victims (the children).
I am sure this is not the only school to have treated the children poorly.

It isn't always the parents fault for not knowing the balance was overdue.
I taught at a school in Tucson where overdue lunch notices went out for the first time during the school year in mid May. I had to tell a little girl to not panic at the $70 lunch bill, and to just ask her parent to pay whatever she could pay even if it was only $10. The fault in that case lied squarely on the shoulders of the principal who failed to send out the proper paperwork for free and reduced lunch and for never delegating responsibility. To her defense her husband passed away mid year after a long fight with cancer and she had to deal with the murder/suicide of a faculty member as well as a number of other valid reasons things didn't get done. In the end the school PTA covered the 10K shortfall.
Frankly, with what has been reported the problem stemmed from poor communication from the school and a new system was being used. Can't blame the parents for either of those problems.

YOu couldn't be more wrong. Its always the parents responsibility to make sure their kid is eating. Its the parents responsibility to request and fill out any reduced price paperwork they need to.
Its always the parents responsibility to ensure there is enough money to pay for their kids lunch or for proper communication with the school if there are other arrangements such as reduced price or free.
Always the parents responibilty to feed their kids.

Apparently you missed the story where it was determined to be an error in the school software that caused the problem. The parents were not aware there was a problem, and likely in most instances, were current in their lunch payments.

Choosing the correct accounting software between Wave Accounting and QuickBooks Online can be a daunting task. These accounting software can save you both time and money, which allows you to move away from hard-copy books and Excel spreadsheets into easy-to-read data.
Wave makes it easy to be your own boss. Focus on what you love, and lean on Wave's intuitive online software to manage your financial and organizational needs.
Best Free Accounting Software
I came across Wave when I started my business almost 4 years ago now. Wave provided me with an accounting system to use for myself and to recommend to clients.
QuickBooks Online: Great Accounting Operating System for SMB Industry Apps
QuickBooks Online has made incredible strides in the past several versions--2 of the most important advantages of choosing QBO over other cloud-based accounting options is the growing availability of apps available for QuickBooks Online and how easy it is to send to your accountant--the accountant tools (that your consultant or ProAdvisor has access to are top of the line) . If you are a new start-up, small business, or desktop user of QuickBooks Pro or Premier, QBO is likely the best option that you have for accounting needs Don't forget to demo and test the apps..
Easy and affordable
We have been using Freshbooks for over 3 years now and the service has scaled very well with us. The reports are very comprehensive and easy to run.
You will regret wave! Save yourself now
I have had Wave for about 4 years. I like them fine until this year when I added a business credit card account as a linked account on a new company I set up.
Terrible customer service
We have used QBO, Payroll and Intuit payments for over 3 years now. The service continues to get worse.
Not for everyone, or even most...
I've been using Freshbooks for the last couple of years, and at first it was a breath of fresh air after getting away from Quickbooks (both online and desktop version prior to that). If you don't have a proficiency for accounting, systems like Freshbooks are great, so I enjoyed the simplicity of it.

Please Help the Purloined Pug!
Now, when I first heard the story about missing Scooter in late December, I had no idea the twist it would take. For those of you not familiar with the case, this Pug apparently dug the way out of his Dallas backyard on Christmas Eve and when his owners, Rob and Kim Velevis, returned home from running errands . . . there was no doggie. The awful twist here is that, shortly after the new year, they received a typewritten letter (postmarked from Tulsa) telling them that a woman in fact had their dog (and their address from his collar), but decided to give the dog to her daughter, and included $20 to thank them. The couple is offering to buy the girl her own dog in exchange for getting their loved one back and have created this email account (email@example.com) for any tips. I can't even articulate how upset this story makes me, so I've included a clip of their heartbreaking news appearance when you read more.

Celtics Talk
Gary Tanguay and Greg Dickerson discuss the latest in the NBA lockout and if there's hope of seeing a deal in the future.
After yet another meeting, and no real positives to come from it, the NBA faces the real possibility of canceling regular-season games as soon as Monday.
The Celtics' star and the Lakers' Kobe Bryant are two of the NBA players who showed up Tuesday in Manhattan for Tuesdays big meeting.
The Celtics' coach says he has had a much-needed break, but preparation is underway even with the season in question.
Celtics guard Avery Bradley is nearing a deal with Hapoel Jersusalem, which includes an opt-out clause if the NBA lockout is lifted, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.
After several hours of meetings on Friday, both sides plan to go at again Saturday morning.
In this edition of Friday Free Throws, Kobe Bryant throws more fuel on the feud between him and Shaq, Delonte West gets a new job, and Rajon Rondo is being, well, Rajon Rondo.

Nick's place in Echo Park was very comfy, spacious, and quiet. The place itself was very bright & clean, and the deck had a beautiful view of downtown LA. We had lots of fun exploring the neighborhood, as there were plenty of cafes and little stores in walking distance. Nick was also very communicative over the duration of our stay, answering our questions in a timely manner. Really a lovely place and perfect for what we were looking for!
It's a very cozy apartment, located on a quite street (1 minute walk from Fix cafe, just few minutes drive from Sunset Av., supermarket etc…and no problem with parking ). Place is full of light and has a great deck with a view of downtown. All is exactly like on the pictures.
very accurate description of the listing. Nick's place was bright, clean, and just an awesome place to stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Nicholas's Hilltop Craftsman in Echo Park. The bed was so comfortable and the deck with a distant view of downtown LA was a wonderful place to enjoy breakfast or a late night drink. Thanks for a great getaway. Lisa and Reggie
Could not have had a better experience. Modern, large, bright, well laid out, snow-friendly place with free parking and a short walk to the lift. Accommodating, friendly, interesting host who was happy to share his home.
Nicholas' place is absolutly great ! Very sunny, nicely decorated and in a very peaceful and green area.The terrasse is perfect at any time of the day. And all this 5min drive to a lively area !
Oh, and Nicholas is very helpful and friendly! I would definitly recommand this place !

He left the place nice and clean. Thank you for doing the dishes and taking the trash out. We have flies that always find a way to sneak inside!
We didn't meet Nicholas. But he was a great guest!
great guest! come back anytime.
Nick and his girlfriend Becky and their two friends were wonderful guests. It was our first time hosting four people in the room upstairs for a weekend (as well as two people in Room #2 downstairs - six guests in one night), but it was a cinch! :) Everyone was so nice and friendly and easy. They were busy out and about in Santa Barbara and going to a wedding and were very low maintenance and the room was left nicely, even with four people and trips to the beach included in the weekend - how did they do that? :) Thanks so much for staying with us :) Hope to see you again.
Nick is a good man. He's just a bundle of positive energy and always goes out of his way to make sure people around him are okay. He doesn't even pretend not to be a sweet man. He just is. Enjoy your stay.
