Beaded Bracelets:
Each Sydney Evan beaded bracelet is made from the highest quality materials. These materials
are often cut from natural sources and the use of hairsprays, lotions, colognes or perfumes can
alter the natural state of the materials used. For this reason our bracelets are highly sensitive to
waterand wearing them while sleeping, showering, exercising, or in a pool or sauna
should be avoided.These elements can weaken the elastic cord that holds the bracelet
together and can contribute to breakage in the future if not cared for properly.
To ensure the longevity of your Sydney Evan beaded bracelet, ROLL the bracelet on or off your
arm, rather than pull, stretch or tug on the beads. Repetitive tugging and pulling can cause
the elastic to weaken and break over time and should be avoided. To maintain the beauty
of your beaded bracelets, we recommend cleaning the beads by using mineral oil that has
been wiped off with a soft, white cloth.
Just like other fine chains, both our link and Bolita chains can be delicate and should be treated
with the utmost care. Do not pull or tug on them. Chains should be treated
delicately in order to prevent damage.
14k Gold:
Please use caution when applying hairsprays, lotions, colognes and perfumes when wearing
Sydney Evan jewels. Their application may cause the metal to tarnish. When cleaning fine
jewelry it is always best to leave it to a professional as many home cleaning methods
may cause damage.

By James Patterson, Richard DiLallo
Separated by time
From his grandmother, Alex Cross has heard the story of his great uncle Abraham and his struggles for survival in the era of the Ku Klux Klan. Now, Alex passes the family tale along to his own children in a novel he's written--a novel called Trial.
Connected by blood
As a lawyer in turn-of-the-century Washington D.C., Ben Corbett represents the toughest cases. Fighting against oppression and racism, he risks his family and his life in the process. When President Roosevelt asks Ben to return to his home town to investigate rumors of the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan there, he cannot refuse.
United by bravery
When he arrives in Eudora, Mississippi, Ben meets the wise Abraham Cross and his beautiful daughter, Moody. Ben enlists their help, and the two Crosses introduce him to the hidden side of the idyllic Southern town. Lynchings have become commonplace and residents of the town's black quarter live in constant fear. Ben aims to break the reign of terror--but the truth of who is really behind it could break his heart. Written in the fearless voice of Detective Alex Cross, Alex Cross's Trial is a gripping story of murder, love, and, above all, bravery.
First, I have to say, this book moved me. This is nothing like I've read in any of James Patterson's books. The story was so heartbreaking and real, and really made me think about some of the horrible things people have done in this country's history. I could never understand a world like that. Alex Cross's Trial was a definite page turner and I did not want to put it down. In fact, I just finished reading it and felt the need to share my thoughts right away. I was totally engulfed in the lives of Ben, Moody and Abraham. This is a story of betrayal and bravery like no other.
Alex Cross's TRIAL is available now for a discounted price on Amazon.

Have I got a great tip for you readers. There's a new mystery writer on the block and he's writing some humdingers.
Well, at least Bobby Cole is new to me. The only thing I can think about is going to bed so I can continue reading one of his novels.
Which is exactly what I'm going to do right now. It's currently 4:15 p.m. by the way. That should tell you how infatuated I am

When it comes to paying taxes, Americans are downright weird. We often say one thing and do the exact opposite.
Consider the billionaire Warren Buffett, who has gone public with his belief that rich folks don't pay enough. It may be silly to argue that he should just volunteer a bigger chunk of his hoard and leave everyone else alone. But Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, recently found itself at odds with the IRS and owing $1 billion from many years ago. That's business. It's also bad optics.
(MORE: What Happens If You Don't Pay Your Taxes?)
Speaking of Buffett, a tax proposal in his name (the Buffett Rule) is front and center. Republicans have so far succeeded in blocking the proposal. But the concept is far from dead. The Buffett Rule would ensure that anyone who makes more than $1 million a year pays at least 30% to the taxman. Most Americans, including many who are well to do, favor such a measure. A survey from Washington University found that 93% of likely Obama voters and 66% of likely Romney voters think the rich should pay more. Other surveys show that Americans of all means generally want to pay their fair share. So why do we keep electing politicians who only pledge to cut taxes or keep them the same? As the Toronto Globe and Mail opines:
"Dumping the Bush cut for middle-income taxpayers would yield significantly more money (than the Buffett Rule). But President Obama has pledged not to do so, and the Republicans wouldn't approve tax hikes of any sort either before or after the November elections."
Meanwhile, a new poll from SodaHead.com, an opinion-based online community, found that the vast majority of taxpayers (87%) cheat at least occasionally. The vast majority of those who do not cheat (84%) say they would if they knew they wouldn't get caught. This is willingness to pay a fair share?
The SodaHead.com poll also found that among people expecting a tax refund this year the top three targets for the money are saving it, paying down debt and paying bills. Yet this would be stunning discipline indeed for a population that is chronically under saved and routinely mismanages personal assets. Witness our retirement savings crisis, expanding credit card debt and near record-level of personal bankruptcies.
(MORE: Here We Go Again: Is College Worth It?)
We have a constant flow of celebrities that get into a tax mess. World Cup champion skier Lindsey Vonn just paid off a $1.7 million delinquent tax burden. But many others — from baseball player Lenny Dykstra to singer Lionel Ritchie — have wound up in court or jail over taxes despite their massive earnings. It simply doesn't make sense, and it sets a bad example.
But weirdest of all may be our cavalier approach to the annual tax deadline. Goingconcern.com, a website for accountants, polled members for the craziest things they heard from clients this tax season. A few were bell ringers:
- "I'm really busy this week so I'll stop by on April 17th to do my taxes."
- "I owe more than I did last year. What did you do wrong?"
- "I took my girlfriend to Vegas when I was on business. Can we say she was working and claim her too?"
- "I had surgery in December but didn't pay for it until January. Can we just say I paid it in December?"
- "I can't find my receipts but I can give you a pretty good guess."
- "I haven't filed a tax return in 10 years. Do you think I'll be in trouble?"
I guess it's easy to see why 44% of taxpayers use a paid tax preparer.

A Memorial ceremony was held on June 8 2011 at the Forward Operating Base Masum Ghar in the district of Panjwa'i to mark the burial of 59 stones representing 72 Canadian Forces soldiers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice fighting the insurgency in Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan.
A series of whitewashed boulders, representing the soldiers who died fighting in and around Masum Ghar ran along the bottom of a huge red-and-white rock mural Canadian flag etched into the side of a hill at the operating base. The erecting of the Memorial started in 2007 with American K9 operators who wanted to thank Canadian soldiers for their sacrifices.
Task Force Kandahar continues to conduct security operations to help Afghans build a country that is more secure, stable and prosperous, and no longer a safe haven for terrorists. More training of the Afghan National Security Forces is required

The reason the West is in decline is because we are not free and are steadily abandoning liberty, i.e., public indoctrination called "schools."
From my view, America's entry into WWI and WWII, the Marshal plan, the space race, the welfare state, etc all have driven America into decline. None of the debt for any of those things has been payed- just dumped on the youth and unborn.

Hedge Fund Titans Bet Billions On Success Or Failure Of 'Herbalife'
Originally published on Fri January 11, 2013 4:11 pm
A pair of prominent hedge fund managers have taken opposing positions on the nutritional-supplement company Herbalife. Bill Ackman of Pershing Square Capital Management says the multilevel-marketing company is a pyramid scheme and a bad investment. He's shorting the stock. Dan Loeb of hedge fund Third Point says Herbalife is a good investment. He's taken an 8.2 percent stake in the company and is betting that its shares will rise. Melissa Block talks with David Kestenbaum of the Planet Money team.

File this press release under "what will they think of next?":
The World's First Family-Friendly Domain Registrar Opens for Business
FAIRFAX, Va., May 2, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Up until now, if you were in the market for a domain name to launch a website, you would be forced into doing business with companies who almost certainly have been profiting from the sale of domain names being used to spread pornography.
With the launch of PurityNames.com, consumers and businesses finally have a family-friendly option.
Domain names are your address on the world wide web. If you have a great idea and want to turn it into a website, you can purchase a domain name through a domain registrar and build your website. Because of the highly automated nature of the process, nearly all domain name registrars allow people to register domains names for just about any purpose, no questions asked. But not PurityNames.com.
PurityNames.com Founder and CEO Jim Prendergast said, "What makes PurityNames.com different is that we refuse to profit from pornography. Period. Instead of doing business with a company that profits from activities that offend you, why not do business with someone who respects your morals and beliefs?"
Everyone who signs on with PurityNames.com must abide by the Purity Code of Conduct, which states you will not use the domain name for a website that will host or distribute pornographic content.
"We will police the domains and websites registered and hosted with us to ensure that they are not used for pornography. If we find someone who has violated the Code of Conduct, we will immediately transfer your business elsewhere. We put principles ahead of profit. Purity is that important to us," said Prendergast.
It's easy to sign on with or switch to PurityNames.com. Just go to www.puritynames.com and with a few clicks of your mouse, you'll be signed on with the only family-friendly domain registrar. "Enjoy peace of mind knowing that you're doing business with a company that shares your values and align your economic decisions with your moral compass," said Prendergast.

Help me with grids
Hi folks, I'm still trying to figure out grids. I want to create a flexy model here, but I think I'm off on the wrong track. Should I create a grid within the grid? Here is what I have... http://codepen.io/wragen22/pen/nqFGp
Here is what I'm going for. Each post has some links and text off to the right side. screen
Updated progress here... still not quite there if I'm wanting to do multiple posts.
No need to create a grid within a grid here. Chris has 2 cool takes on this; an article and a vid called "Don't over think it Grids".
Hope that helps!
Hmm... That's something I was looking at earlier. Reasoning for grid within a grid was for multiple articles containing each their own side links like my photoshop screen.

My wife and I are now the proud parents of a five-day-old baby, and as we expected, he's already drastically changing our lives. Here's what I've learned so far.
1. Babies = Time Travel
If you want a time machine, forget Doc Brown and his Delorean: instead, have a baby. Except, this time machine is no express train; it won't whisk you away to 2015 or send you traipsing back to 1955 and the days of "I Like Ike."
No, this time machine is entirely random. When your kid won't stop crying, time essentially stops. That might sound obvious, but experiencing your kid doing it is another thing altogether. It's excruciating. (This happened to our little guy on our second night.)
And really, little guys and gals have lots to cry about—being hungry, dirty diapers, and of course, the shocking realization that eating one's own hand is not very tasty.
Of course, more often than not, time seems to accelerate, so one day your little guy/gal is five days old, then suddenly they are five, fifteen, twenty five.
Now I know I'm only five days in, so I'm extrapolating a bit here, but I've experienced this vicariously with my niece (already nearly two!), and I'm assuming this effect will only get more pronounced.
Taken all together, the experience is pretty mystifying. I mean, imagine if this were a movie: Most of the action would be shown in fast forward, except for the excruciating portions, which are in slow-motion. And there's no predicting any of it, minor disasters (goldfish funeral #732; the infamous ice cream accident of June 1, a.k.a. ice cream down! ice cream down!) happen all the time, and there are no smooth transitions from shot to shot. In other words, life with a baby is something like an avant-garde film.
2. I really need to start working out again.
I used to work out quite a bit, especially in high school and college, and I stayed in reasonably good shape until a year or so after grad school (about three years back). Then, when I started working a 9-5 for the first time, I started to let things slide a bit.
Now I don't look like the Hindenberg or anything like that (THE HUMANITY!) but I know I don't have the strength or endurance I once did. Not even close.
Having a baby made this quite clear. Our baby boy was large—nearly 10 pounds—and while 10 pounds doesn't sound particularly heavy, carrying a ten pound baby isn't as easy as it sounds.
First of all, it's a wiggly ten pounds, so it's hard to keep a grip. Plus, there are only so many ways to hold a baby, as you have to support their neck and their bums. So you're constantly using the same muscle groups. All of this adorable weightlifting occurs in tight spaces, so you have to get pretty Cirque du Soleil with things; in our hospital room there was a breast pump, a table for meals, the fold-out bed, the giant hospital bed, the IV, the vitals monitors and all of our accumulated stuff (diaper bags, presents, paperwork).
And then there are the reps. If your baby is somewhat fussy, like ours, you end up picking him/her up, walking them around and putting them back down quite often. This adds up to some serious lifting. My advice: Buy Epsom Salts in advance.
There's another reason to work out. If you're like me, you'll notice your papa-bear instincts kicking it—that whole must-protect-baby-and-mama-bear thing. While I think I could do OK in a scrap, I'd like to get in better shape for that, too. (To be fair: at 5'6, I wouldn't make much of a proper "papa bear." More like a Papa Ewok.)
3. Your pre-baby definition of tired and your post-baby definition of tired will, how shall we say, differ.
I know, I know, you're expecting this, but there's no real way to prepare for it. I think part of it is when you're up with your little one, you're exerting mental effort as well as physical effort. So it's doubly tiring, and if the kid is sick or fussy, there isn't always a reprieve, and your fatigue compounds itself.
4. Babies really like to scream.
Pretty self-explanatory, yeah?
5. Even when they are screaming, babies are pretty darn cute.
Oliver likes to scream. (He gets this from his mother, I think.) But even when he's going at full volume—and this kid's got lungs—it's still cute. Oliver's cries tend to sound something like, "Wh-wh-wha-whyyyyy?" as if he has been grievously wronged.
6. I really need to buy my parents a beer.
See #3, #4 and #5.
7. My preconceptions about parenting were often wrong.
I thought I knew what I was getting into, but I was wrong. I had the broad strokes right (changing diapers! feeding baby! toys!), but I got the day-to-day details all wrong.
I figured there would be a reasonably set feeding and changing schedule and that his behavior would be mostly predictable, even at first. Nope and nope.
While I know I'm only five days in, I feel safe in saying this: If you don't have kids, you don't know what it's like to parent. In other words, no amount of anticipation and preparation equate to experience. That's like thinking you know what it's like to experience skydiving without, you know, actually doing it.
To extend that metaphor a bit more, unlike when you're jumping out of a plane, in parenting there isn't a real back-up chute. I mean, there's family and friends, and their support is essential, but when it all comes down to it, you've got a tiny person who needs food and shelter and toys and most importantly, your constant love and attention, and they're relying solely on you.
8. No one should ever make fun of mothers, (or women generally).
I've never really understood the word "pussy" as a byword for weakness. If you've never seen a woman endure the less pleasant day-to-day aspects of pregnancy, you really have no idea what you're talking about. (It's not surprising, then, that the world is primarily used by high schoolers and other young men who have little to no contact/respect for actual pregnant women.)
And of course, all of that pain is merely the previews to the feature film: when a woman goes into labor it's the "pussy's" big day, and it was goddamn awful, even for me.
It was like watching my wife being tortured; all that was missing were the guys in fedoras and a flickering fluorescent bulb overhead. Somehow, my wife endured it, and even more than that—she was cracking jokes when her contractions were about a minute apart. She is far tougher than I am: I would have been yowling like a kitten in a blender.
Biological nuances aside, I think that having folks witness a woman actually giving birth could go a long way toward helping us ditch some of our shoddy societal preconceptions about women (and perhaps the use of the word "pussy"). Plus, if teenage girls and boys were to actually witness a birth (they could do so in one of those observation hospital rooms with the one-way glass) they may then realize what bringing a child into the world actually entails. If they did, there might be a subsequent "scared straight" effect, and perhaps they would make better choices in their nascent sex lives. (Plus, this would be a great way to augment a health class or a biology class.)
Of course, I'm aware that this would probably never happen, for a myriad of reasons. Not least that we're a nation of hypocritical prudes: some of the most famous women in our culture are actresses, many of whom have had topless roles, and nearly all jaunt down the red carpet in plunging, showy gowns. But showing the actual biological machinery at work (breastfeeding) is practically anathema.
9. No one should ever make fun of single mothers.
See #7 and #8. Doing this with two people is hard enough. Doing it alone is almost unfathomable.
10. Changing diapers isn't the hard part.
The hardest part has been those moments when I've been unable to settle our little guy down, despite having fed him, changed him, and having done all I could to account for his well-being. It's unfair that the most innocent should have to suffer.
11. When you go to the hospital, bring your own pillow.
Hospital pillows are often covered in this weird plastic, and it feels like one is sleeping on a jellyfish. The pillows don't just feel weird, either. They squeak when you reposition your head. Pillows shouldn't sound like birds; I consider that a self-evident truth.
12. Baby swings are worth more than gold.
Worried about the collapse of the dollar? Don't invest in gold. Invest in baby swings. These things are seriously undervalued. Once the baby is here, it's often pretty fussy, at least for us. Our little guy likes to be rocked, but unless you can crush a beer can with your biceps, your arms will be shot pretty quick. Baby swings solve this problem; Oliver likes them so much, we've got two (thanks to our fine friends and family).
13. Doomsday preppers are probably nuts. But baby prepping makes complete sense.
I'm not a doomsday prepper, but my wife and I were baby preppers. Let me put it this way: We practically own stock in the Pedialyte company, we've got more diapers than the Octomom, and we have cornered the market on baby outfits featuring cute cartoony crabs and lobsters. (There is perhaps nothing cuter than a pissed-off infant looking all Mr. Angrypants while wearing a shirt that features a large smiling crab.)
14. Modern Medicine Probably Saved My Wife and Child
While my wife and I wanted our child to be born the traditional route, we eventually had to opt for a C-section. I'm glad we did, because it probably saved both of their lives. After they ganked Ollie out, they measured his head; it was 14.5 centimeters in circumference; when the female reproductive system is ready to deliver, the opening is 10 centimeters. The doctor said it herself, "There was no way that baby was coming out that way." To put it another way, if this birth had taken place 150 years ago, there probably wouldn't have been a happy ending.
15. You've probably wasted a lot of your life.
I'm 29. I've spent considerable amounts of my life playing Nintendo systems of one sort or another, drinking a rather staggering amount of beer, and generally not being productive.
As I'm a writer, this is clearly problematic, and I've always had a vague of idea of how much time I've been wasting. But now that Ollie's here, it's quite clear. I suppose you never know exactly how much time you've wasted until you don't have time to waste anymore. As they say in Star Wars: we shall redouble our efforts!

ComicKick Promotes Crowd-Funded Comics Projects on Kickstarter
A new Facebook page is tracking a recent trend in the creation of comic books and graphic novels. ComicKick describes itself as "a community dedicated to promoting comic book and graphic novel projects on Kickstarter and IndieGoGo!"
Both of those sites help creators turn to their potential audiences for help in financing their creations. In exchange for the help, the creators offer their supporters signed copies, original art, and other unique incentives. It's a model that traditional outlets never thought would work, and while it's not a fool-proof method of getting published, there have been some startling success stories.
Rick Burlew wanted to raise about $15,000 to re-release a print collection of his popular webcomic The Order of the Stick. "Popular" is putting it lightly. Not only did fans contribute $250,000 within a week, the project raised over $1 million from almost 15,000 backers! The money was enough for Burlew to reprint the webcomic's entire 7-book library. As of now, it is the second most successful Kickstarter project, eclipsed only by the over $3 million raised for the video game Double Fine Adventure. Burlew's incentives included a new prequel story delivered as a PDF to everyone who pledged $10 or more, a walk-on cameo in a future strip for one person that donated $5,000, exclusive magnets, original crayon drawings, and even a coloring book. During the fundraising period, he amped up his production to release a new installment of The Order of the Stick every day to help generate extra excitement and energy around the event.
Renae De Liz's all-female comics anthology Womanthology also had similar success, as reported last year. Their Kickstarter page met their goal of $25,000 within just 18 hours, and finished with over $100,000. The buzz around the project garnered the attention of IDW Publishing, which helped distribute the anthology and has agreed to publish a 5-issue mini-series for a second graphic novel.
Not everyone is making such huge bank. Using Kickstarter or IndieGoGo (or another crowd-sourcing platform) takes a serious commitment to promotion, and of course a pre-existing audience helps. But more and more comics projects are matching their goal, like LA cartoonist Keith Knight (The K Chronicles, The Knight Life), who brought in over $40,000 to produce his original graphic novel I Was A Teenage Michael Jackson Impersonator.
According to the Kickstarter Blog, the Comics category in 2011 raised over $1.7 million from over 27,000 backers of 267 successful projects. It's important to note that with Kickstarter, only projects that match their goal receive funds pledged. Considering that The Order of the Stick nearly eclipsed that total dollar figure by itself earlier this year, the 2012 figures should see a remarkable increase.
With these success stories, others are turning to this method to try to publish their own comics and graphic novels, or books and films about comics. To keep them all straight, enter ComicKick on Facebook. Only about a week old, these fans are posting about a variety of new projects by creators trying to bring their dreams to reality.
One of the most promising projects they've posted about is The Graphic Textbook, a project by Reading with Pictures to produce a comic book for the classroom. From their page:
Aimed at grades 3-6, The Graphic Textbook features a dozen short stories (both fiction and non-fiction) that address topics in a variety of disciplines (Social Studies, Math, Language Arts, Science) drawn from the list of Common Core Standards used in classrooms countrywide. The accompanying Teacher's Guide will include Standards-correlated lesson plans customized to each story, research-based justifications for using comics in the classroom, a guide to establishing best classroom practices and a comprehensive listing of additional educational resources.
The Graphic Textbook will prove once and for all that comics belong in the classroom by creating a comic that every teacher will actually want to use and a textbook that every student will actually want to read!
It includes chapters from professional creators of comic books and graphic novels, such as Fred Van Lente and Ryan Dunlavey, who produced the educational series Action Philosophers, plus Roger Langridge (The Muppet Show Comic Book, Snarked!, Popeye), Chris Schweizer (Crogan's Vengeance), Katie Cook (Fraggle Rock, Gronk: A Monster's Story) and more. The cover to the right is by Ben Caldwell.
The comics projects on Kickstarter and IndieGoGo are often unique and different from what is being produced by the bigger comics publishers, so it's worth it to "Like" ComicKick on Facebook to find out about what could be a future hit.

This could be right. I think it's right. But, there is algebra and probability involved and those always confuse me. Then again, I could just be trying to get prof to drop Nocioni. Here's the logic for Monday nights. There are 22 Mondays with games during the regular season 135 games are played on Mondays That's averages to 6.1 games each Monday night Double that to get the average number of teams that play on Monday – 12.3 Divide by 30 to get the fraction of teams that play on Monday – 40.9% Multiply by 14 to get the average number of fantasy players you have available on Monday nights – 5.7 Seems o.k. so far. Here is the full week… Monday – 5.7 Tuesday – 6.1 Wednesday – 10.3 Thursday – 2.4 Friday – 10.7 Saturday – 8.0 Sunday – 5.6 Thursday is the odd night out. You will have the most players (on average) playing on Wednesday and Friday nights. Now, suppose you don't have 14 players from 14 teams. Suppose you have two players from the same team. Divide by 30 to get the fraction of teams that play on Monday – 40.9% Multiply by 13 to get the average number of fantasy players you have available on Monday nights – 5.3 40.9% of the time your 14th man will be available, but 59.1% of the time he will not be So, add .409 and subtract .591 (for when your duplicated team isn't playing) Get an average of 5.1 players available on Monday nights 5.1 is only 90% of the average number of players available to a team with no duplicates If you have three players from the same team it gets worse. On Monday nights you will only average 79% of the available players as a team with no duplicates. If you have two players from the same team and 12 from unique teams you will have the following percentages of players available as a team with 14 players all from different teams. Monday – 90% Tuesday – 91% Wednesday – 97% Thursday – 65% Friday – 98% Saturday – 95% Sunday – 89% If you have three players from the same team… Monday – 79% Tuesday – 81% Wednesday – 95% Thursday – 31% Friday – 96% Saturday - 89% Sunday - 79% Feel free to use at your own risk.
maybe that's why i have fewer players than linwood playing this week. on the other hand, i'm not sure you can do the formulas in this manner. if you look over the course of the season, every player has an opportunity to be in 82 games regardless. the question to me is more of, do all teams average the same number of games per week? if yes, your numbers seem to have little effect. if no, your numbers are more significant. you see what i'm getting at?
Yeah, and it's all giving me a headache trying to think about it. You only have a fraction of your team available on any given day. Anytime this fraction falls below ten then you aren't scoring as much as you could with another mix. So, some proportion of the time having a team duplicated in your roster will hurt you more than others. I think the problem is that cnce you miss a potential player game, it's gone forever. It doesn't help you that your duplicated team has more games later in the week, you can never make that miss back up. So even if every team played the same number of games per week, if your duplicated team is unavailable on some night, you lose potential games that never come back. Later in the week when your team is available, you are only at parity with a team with no duplicated since you only have 14 players. I think.
As usual, very impressive DBA. However.. The biggest problem with having multiple players on the same team is that you run into more situations where you have more players with a game for a given day than slots available. Having a team where you have 2 sets of same team players is rough, 3 sets is murder. The impact of this is just as bad as having greater than 2 players from one team. This doesn't come from calculations, just eexperience. I'd be curious as to how you could weigh that into your calculations as well.
I may not quite be understanding what you're saying. What I think I hear is that more often the problem is that you have more eligible players than you have roster slots. That doesn't seem possible to me with a 14 player roster. The one part I'm fairly sure about is the number of games on any given night. Tonight there are seven games, so 14 teams are playing - 47% of teams. So, the random fantasy team (with no more than one player from a team) of 14 players will have on average 6.5 players with a game to be played. On average between three and four slots will be empty for that team tonight. There does seem to be an understandable pattern of games throughout the week. Thursday are low since TNT and ESPN don't carry games then. Weekends are high since game attendance is higher and the owners like that. So, on only two nights a week (Wednesday with 10.3 and Friday with 10.7) should the average fantasy team have more players available to play than there are active slots available. Am I reading you wrong?
motown has a point. even in the 1st week i've had situations where more than 10 of my 14 players had a game that week, and i had to choose who to bench. so i lost a game (as you put it) that i can never get back. the situation *does* occur, especially since there's nights like wed/fri where so many teams play and the chance of it happening is greater. you also said: "So even if every team played the same number of games per week, if your duplicated team is unavailable on some night, you lose potential games that never come back. Later in the week when your team is available, you are only at parity with a team with no duplicated since you only have 14 players." The difference here though, if your opponent has no games that day, and you have 3 guys on the same team who *do* play, you will get 3 games back that your opponent can't match. I think you have to look at this on a weekly basis and not daily, since stats are summed up over the entire week and wins/losses are *only* calculated at the end of the week.
Having more players than slots definitely does occur. (And a lot more often than I had thought until I started filling out rosters.) But I don't count that as a lost game since my opponent can only have ten active too. I may lose production by selecting the wrong 10 to play, but once I fill all the slots I get no penalty from having more than one player on my fantasy team from the same real team. Once I have ten, my opponent can gain no advantage since he or she can likewise only field ten. The lost games are those in which you had could have had players active if their teams had been playing. If I have multiple players from the same team then that is more likely to happen. Based on the averages my opponent can field (for example) 0.4 more players than I can. That 0.4 you can never get back other than through luck. Over the course of ten such games we would expect the opponent without any duplicate teams on the roster to have had the advantage of 4 players games more. But, I think your point is right - that since scoring cuts off each week the long term impact will be less since there is no carry over week to week. Your only penalty can come from the games within that week and next week you start over. That over time will lessen the impact of the multiple player penalty. Maybe later today if my head clears any I can think of a way to measure how much that is. Anyway, multiple players from the same team do have the ability to hurt you in that you will at times have fewer players available than an opponent without duplicates. Even if that only averages a 10% penalty, it will impact close matchups. And those of us fielding Joey Graham need all the help we can get.
Fair enough, but here's a scenario. You have 2 fantasy teams of 15 players. Team 1 has players from 15 different teams. Team 2 has players from 10 of the same 15 teams, two from other teams, and then 3 more guys who are all on the same team (different from all the teams from Team 1). Day 1: 10 teams shared by fantasy teams 1 and 2 play, and two more teams from fantasy team 1 play. Day 2: 5 teams shared by fantasy teams 1 and 2 play, as well as the extra one from Team 2 (that he has 3 players for). Team 1 gets 10 games (out of 12 possible) the first day, and 5 the second day, for a total of 15 games. Team 2 gets 10 games the first day, and 8 the second day, for a total of 18 games. Here Team 2 is at an advantage because he didn't have any missed games the 1st day, then racked up an extra 3 games on day 2. Let's look at it more simply: - Team 1 has 4 players from different teams. - Team 2 has 4 players on the same team. - Each NBA team plays 3 times that week. - Team 1 plays (1 + 1 + 1 + 1) + (1 + 1 + 1 + 1) + (1 + 1 + 1 + 1) = 12 games that week - Team 2 players (4) + (4) + (4) = 12 games that week As you can see, for the week there is no difference as long as the number of NBA games matches up.
Yes. There are lots of examples where it can work the other way. The simplest one is team one was two Pistons and everyone else from different teams except the Knicks. Team two has no player from either the Pistons or Knicks. Tonight the only game is the Pistons versus the Knicks. Having two Pistons helps me. But, on average over the full season you should still have a bit of an advantage from having no duplicate teams on your roster. As long as you have the flexibility to occasionally bring in a new player, and the ability to set your lineups at least every day if not more than once during the evening you should be able to negate most, perhaps all, of the disadvantage. But if you are less involved, you can gain at least a bit of an advantage over similarly less involved GMs if you spread your players across multiple teams. I'm guessing this is at least a goodly part of the reason why fantasy teams with only Pistons last year tended not to do so well. I'm curious now though to know how often teams don't play the same number of games a week and how big those variances are. That's not all that easy to figure out with the data I have sitting around right now though.
I've run into situations...just last week where I had a team play twice versus 4 times is an obvious situation. Sometimes it even grows to 5 games. Typically I only pay that level of attention to schedule when I'm: only allowed to make lineup changes weekly based on league rules need to develop a winning strategy with supplemental players (open roster spot) based on a short week near the end of the season where remaining games impact the rest of the playoffs I do agree that there are a ton of things that negate advantages: stacked schedules, injuries and performance based on a back to back. (just to name a few).
I'm imagining Fatoine on a spit and it's... well, it's disturbing. But yes, I think it only matters in the head to head world.
I had a question that's somehow similar- theoretically, you could place your role players (if you have 2 on one team, one of them a role player) on the FA list, and add another role player so that you avoid that situation- but couldn't it happen that someone always acquires role players and dropps them all the time so that he has about 10-12 players in action on every night???
Absolutely. Its a strategy that I've seen deployed in the past. It can be curbed by setting a limit to the max transactions (I typically set mine to 100) and/or increasing the number of roster spots so that the amount of talent available is negligible. The interesting thing about the free agent/max games strategy is that it is only effective when noone else is competing for resources. The waiver period of the "role players" prevents players from dropping and readding the same players effectively. Outside of this, it just makes it less enjoyable for the masses and ultimately will blow up in your face when you max out your transactions right before the playoffs.
yah, also when you drop someone they've got a chance to be picked up by another squad, so that's the risk you take by trying to get guys to play every night.
Been there, done that. Very effective if you have the time to manage it, and perform your GM duties in a heartless manner.

Not gonna lie. I hit a slump. A big HUGE ugly blogging slump. I know I'm not the most consistent poster. I'd be a much better blogger if I was, I'm sure. But I usually spend a lot of time thinking about future posts and what pictures to use, and feeling bad about not having posted.
Not recently though. In fact, typing this right now, required a LOT of motivation. I had let my domain registration lapse. I even started balancing my checkbook as a way to procrastinate writing…yeah. I don't know what has been up with me, but I've been doing a LOT of reading lately. Reading all kinds of books. Let's call it R&D….
But the fact that it has taken so long for me to post isn't fair. It's not fair to anyone who reads this blog, and it's not fair especially to the people who made the food that makes up the content of this post much MUCH earlier.
I wanted to post earlier, but I just for some reason, couldn't get my butt into the chair in front of my computer. I sincerely apologize, and here it is:
Some people look forward to Thanksgiving every year. Some people to Christmas. Me? I look forward to Oscar Sunday every year, because it is consistently one of the best meals that I'm guaranteed to have all year. (I'm pretty sure any posts I've done about Oscar Dinner in the past are tagged as such, so please feel free to check the archives.) It's not just that the food is delicious, because it always is, but it's that I get to spend an evening with one of my best friends, Chrissy, and her wonderful family. That they have included me in their family tradition year after year, never ceases to make me feel just a little bit extra special and I love them for it.
This year's menu featured some items we've done in the past – I think Tom started off thinking that this year would be a "Greatest Hits" kind of menu, but Chrissy informed me that he kept finding new stuff he wanted to try, so there were a couple of new additions as well.
Our first course was this beautiful Corn and Lobster Chowder. I like corn, I like lobster. Can't really go wrong here. Especially since it had a little bit of a kick – just enough to cut through the sweetness of the corn and make you go, "Oh!" and then smile…
That was followed by a "re-run" of a lovely Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Pistachios that we'd had a few years ago. I enjoyed this dish the first time, and I enjoyed it again this time. Beets might be one of my favorite root vegetables…
Along with the beets we enjoyed some expertly baked Gruyere Gougeres, which I think we may have had last year, and they were definitely a hit. This was another great item to see again, and I was lucky enough to be given a bag of yet unbaked gougeres to take home and bake and eat later…basically the next day because I wasn't going to let them wait to be eaten!
A couple of new additions included this beautiful Yukon Gold Potato Pancake with Creme Fraiche and Caviar. Golden brown perfection…
And also, this portion of Spaghetti Squash with Fresh Herbs. Spaghetti squash is all the rage right now, and I'm not going to lie, I liked this so much, I ended up trying to duplicate this dish for dinner later that week…
We couldn't have had an Oscar Dinner Greatest Hits without a return of the Striped Bass in a Salt Dome. This dish is not only massively impressive, but absolutely delicious. I wish I could eat all my fish prepared this way, but that seems like a lot of work. It's just that it comes out so tender and flavorful and, well, perfect. I remember the first time Tom made this, after dinner, Scott and I literally stood over the carcass and with our fingers, picked out any remaining bits of fish flesh we could find, like ravenous vultures.
To top off the dinner, Tom traditionally does a chocolate dessert, and this year was no different. This was an Orange and Almond Chocolate Tarte.
Some other highlights of the evening…a nice dry bottle of champagne:
Winning the Oscars game…again!
And this Cream Sherry I brought…which was perfect with our chocolate dessert!
I am so blessed to count these people among my friends, and I look forward to next year!

We've been using Spring in our company with great success and are about to start implementing a couple of Web Services. Luckily, my collegue came across Spring-WS. However, I was wondering if we can actually use it because of two of our requirements:
1) Clients can send the request either as XML or as HTTP GET request parameters.
2) We only want to use raw XML and schema files as opposed to SOAP and WSDL.
Does Spring-WS support these use cases out of the box or is there a way to extend it in order to make it work with our requirements?

A scathing letter claiming Marylanders are appalled over a Baltimore Ravens player's stance on same-sex marriage may be marked return to sender.
Baltimore County Delegate Emmett Burns Jr., D-District 10, has taken exception to a new campaign supporting same-sex marriage, and he's asking the owner of the Baltimore Ravens to get involved.
In a letter sent to the media last week, Burns refers to an email that advertised the raffle of two tickets to the Ravens season opener as part of a Marylanders for Marriage Equality fundraiser. The tickets were courtesy of linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo, who supports equality, including same-sex marriage.
The delegate's letter asks Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti to step in, saying, "Many of my constituents and your football supporters are appalled and aghast that a member of the Ravens football team would step into this controversial divide and try to sway public opinion one way or the other."
The Ravens announced Friday that the organization supports Ayanbadejo's First Amendment rights.
BaltimoreRavens.com reported Ayanbadejo was "shocked" upon seeing the letter.
"For him to be a delegate, I was kind of shocked that he would want to silence me and tell me to stick to football in a free country," Ayanbadejo said on the team's website. "People have died to have those rights to be able to voice those opinions – no matter what their opinions are."
Upon consultation with Bisciotti, Ravens President Dick Cass said, "We support Brendon's right to freedom of speech under the First Amendment."
Ayanbadejo, worried about how his actions could affect the fan base, said on BaltimoreRavens.com, "[Cass said], 'We're in support of you and it's good that you're able to voice your opinion and say how you feel.' Dick personally told me, 'We're not an organization that discriminates.'"
USA Today reported on Friday that Ayanbadejo thanks Burns for making bringing national attention to the issue.

stepped on a very long upholstery tack
Yesterday morning, I stepped on a very long upholstery tack that was totally rusty and disgusting. It went in so deep that I had to have someone remove it for me and it bled because it was such a deep puncture wound. It hurt like crazy but was bearable. It went in right underneath my 2nd smallest toe. The later the day went on. the more extreme the pain became. Finally at 12:30 this morning, I had to have my husband take me to the ER because it was so swollen, I couldn't stand ANY pressure on it and I had red lines going up the top of my foot and lower leg. The hospital gave me a tetnus shot, a shot of pain medication, an oral antibiotic and a shot that hurt like crazy that was also an antibiotic. Today, my foot feels a lot better but still hurts, but I feel so weak and nauseated. Does anyone know why and know what I should do?
