A yellow swallowtail butterfly perches on the top of the pink Rose of Sharon bush and sways with the wayward breeze. It seems to be surveying the landscape and wondering if summer is truly on its way out. There is a fall look in the gathering clouds that drift and mass in darkening clusters, overshadowing the sun that shone so brightly such a short time ago.
This summer has passed so quickly. Already the bright yellow fronds of goldenrod bloom along the road banks, and purple ironweed raises a regal head above the weeds and underbrush. These are definite signs that fall is on its way. Another sure sign is the big yellow school buses that are making their rounds over ridges and across the winding roads of our county.
School seems to start earlier and go on longer than it did when I was a youngster. We started in September and got out in early May. We walked to grade school, which was a short journey for us, but many of the school children had to tread weary miles for their education. Now school buses pick up our children in the early morning mist to disgorge them, tired and weary, in the late evening.
Sending your little one to school for the first time brings a real wrench to a mother's heart and some anxious tears shed. When our oldest one, Mike, started to school, it was more traumatic for me than it was him. As I watched him walk down the driveway, I had an urge to grab him and bring him back to the safety of the house. Time does wait for no man, and it certainly doesn't wait for our children.
The years have passed by swiftly, our children grew up and all except Crystal are now grandparents. We saw the generation of our grandchildren as they too followed in the footsteps of their parents and take their places in the classroom. Some of our great-grandchildren (Morgan, for one) starts to high school this year. It boggles the mind.
Times have changed drastically since I started to school. School exposed us to a lot of new words. It was in the first grade that I heard, "L'ar! L'ar! Pants on far!" I was horrified. In the first place, we were never allowed to use the word "liar" to describe anyone. It belonged to the rest of the four-letter words that we didn't use.
If one of us told an untruth, we would call them a storyteller or say they told a story. Here at school the word "liar" was bandied about freely. Now, grade school children hear and use words that would burn the ears of an old sailor and talk about subjects that I didn't know even existed when I was in school.
It is a scary world that we send our young ones into every day. We would like to enclose them in a plastic bubble to protect them from the filth of the world, but of course it is impossible. The best thing that we can do for our children is to teach and instill in them at an early age the moral values and godly principles set forth in the Bible.
It is not enough to merely teach them, but our lives should be an example that bears out these teachings. Children in our society today are becoming morally bankrupt and ignorant of true Bible principles because they are not being taught these things in their homes. This is our responsibility and duty to our children.

[JURIST] Benon Sevan [UN profile], the former head of the UN Oil-for-Food Program [official website], resigned from his current honorary position at the UN Sunday one day before an independent panel [Independent Inquiry Committee website] investigating corruption charges and program irregularities was due to present a new report on its findings. In a letter to Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Sevan, who has denied earlier panel allegations that he received cash and oil allocations, said "I fully understand the pressure you are under [...] but sacrificing me for political expediency will never appease our critics or help you or the Organization." BBC News has more.
[JURIST] British police Sunday charged three more individuals, including two alleged bombers, in the ongoing investigation into the July 21 attempted terror bombings in London. Muktar Said Ibrahim, 27, and Ramzi Mohammed, 23 were charged with conspiracy to murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to cause explosions and possession of an explosive substance. Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, 32, was charged with conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions after he was linked to an unexploded device found in a west London park. Sunday's charges mean that with counts made Saturday against Yassin Hassan Omar [JURIST report], all three of the suspected bombers still in the UK have now been charged. A fourth suspected bomber arrested last week in Italy is facing extradition [JURIST report] under a European warrant. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told reporters Saturday that he would consider invoking administrative detention [Amnesty International overview] - traditionally used against Palestinians, allowing them to be held without charge or trial - against all extremists, including Jews, who participate in illegal protests designed to disturb the upcoming Gaza pullout. Earlier this month, the commissioner of Israel's prison system announced that detention facilities are prepared to hold as many as 2,300 anti-pullout protestors [JURIST report]. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US ambassador to Iraq met with interim Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari Saturday, warned that the US would not tolerate a new Iraqi constitution that would oppress women or other religious sects. Zalmay Khalilzad [US Department of State profile] delivered the message one day after Al-Jaafari met with several Shiite clerics [JURIST report] who communicated their hope that Islam become the main source of legislation in the pending constitution. Khalilzad told reporters that he "assured [Al-Jaafari] that the United States believes strongly that the Iraqi constitution should provide equal rights before the law for all Iraqis regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion or sect". Reuters has more.
[JURIST] AP is reporting that Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resigned unexpectedly Sunday to protest next week's Gaza pullout [JURIST report]. Netanyahu cited the danger of terror operations that could be launched against Israel from the ceded territory if the pullout occured. Despite the resignation, the Israeli cabinet gave final approval Sunday to the removal of a first group of Jewish settlers from the area.
[JURIST] All legal proceedings in the West Bank and Gaza came to an abrupt halt Saturday after all Palestinian Authority judges went on strike. According to reports, the judges went on strike after repeated calls for increased courtroom and personal security were not met. Last week, the home of Chief Justice Zuhair al-Surani was attacked [Reuters report], and a bomb damaged the home of Attorney General Hussein Abu Asi. Al-Surani later told reporters that he had resigned in protest at what he called "lawlessness in the courts", although whether he had actually submitted a formal resignation to Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas is unclear. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Officials in London have issued the first set of formal charges in the failed July 21 London bombings [JURIST news archive]. Somali national Yassin Hassan Omar was charged Saturday with four criminal counts, including conspiracy to murder, attempted murder, and possession of explosives. Human rights groups in Britain have questioned whether any of the bombing suspects can receive a fair trial [JURIST report] in light of the firestorm of negative and even vitriolic UK media coverage of the terror attacks. Reuters has more.

Welcome to the NFL — if you haven't already heard those words either on the field or in the locker room. Coach is preparing for his new line-up. You Coopster-bloggers, I can't wait to hear what you have to say because it was a bone of contention all year on the blog.
Either you guys/gals loved him or hated him. Me… he held down the opposite side of a Pro-Bowler and one of the best in the league and was thrown at, a lot, and had some tough duties. He seemed to play better when Champ was hurt, but I won't profess "as you know," to know the defensive back position as well as I know other spots on the filed so I have to go with the pro's on what they see and how they call it… you bloggers! )
It looks to be an interesting off-season, so stay tuned and let me know what you think because Bly was a topic all year on this blog.
If you've never blogged in here….. check it out, we have some great folks and interesting exchanges…. just check prior blogs and get ready to laugh a little.

If you're wondering why Peter Andre is working the sexy fighter pilot look then wonder no more.
And no, he hasn't joined the red arrows, there's an even better reason for that outfit - he wore it to open a 32-foot tall chocolate-themed climbing tower at Alton Towers.
And yes, that is indeed a glass of chocolate he's got in his hand - taken from the chocolate waterfall that cascades down the the side of the tower. All four tonnes of the stuff.
We said you might need a little lie down.
Pete visited the Staffordshire theme park earlier today to unveil the Mt. Rocky attraction, which apparently resembles a giant version of the Rocky biscuit bar. We wouldn't know, they never stay in our hands long enough to notice.

Oh well. Sucks for BT, probably his last play in a Jets uni.
Also getting sick of Steinberg. Been telling us to get used to Sapp's name for weeks. Meanwhile, the guy's done nothing and was even deactivated today.
@MMehtaNYDN: OLB Bryan Thomas, longest tenured Jets player, suffered what appears to be a serious pectoral injury, per source. Further tests coming #nyj
@Steiny31: Just heard the #Jets lost a key player on defense due to injury...
@Steiny31: #Jets fans, get used to the name @Sapp55
Oh well. Sucks for BT, probably his last play in a Jets uni.
Also getting sick of Steinberg. Been telling us to get used to Sapp's name for weeks. Meanwhile, the guy's done nothing and was even deactivated today.
I actually unfollowed steiny. He's so annoying like he's friends with all these players.
Good riddance. This organization spent far too much time trying to develop this JAG
Terrible evaluation of Thomas
He has been a good pro for many years.
Anyway, at this point in his career he is far from irreplacable, however if you watch a replay of Jacks TD run, mcintyre was supposed to set the edge on that play and got absolutely steamrolled which directly led to that seam being created.
I would think mcintyre should be able to step into that spot, but who knows. This should mean that sapp will be active going forward
Thomas is a good pro, he can make some plays here and there and is stout vs the run. it's too bad about the injury.
I would be lying if I told you I noticed him at all this season. Same can be said for Pace..
Not saying he isn't doing his job .. Just don't notice him on the field especially when it comes to making plays.
If I remember correctly we lined up two down lineman inside, Coples on the left and McIntyre on the right as is was 2nd and 17 and we expected them to pass. It was a great call and they caught us in the wrong personnel as the guard and center just doubleteamed and steamrolled McIntyre. It wasnt really his fault. The tackling downfield was atrocious again though and we all know who was in the middle of it... ERIC SMITH...
Just checked, Coples was the only down lineman over the right guard and McIntyre was standing up with no help outside.
Last edited by Flaming Mo; 12-10-2012 at 08:24 AM.
I barely even noticed Thomas this season, but he is a solid run stopper. Garrett McIntrye will get the playing time the rest of the way, not Ricky Sapp.
Average players dont last in the league for 11 years and start each season for multiple coaches in multiple schemes.
Yes thomas was a high pick, but not every 1st round pick turns into bruce smith. He never had the sack numbers, but he did his job on the defense very well and did it for a long time.
BT was our leader in sacks this season. I know that's not saying much, but he was still the best player we had at that position.
sucks for bt longest tenured jet. mcintyre steps in and we sign a journeyman lb who can hopefully contribute on special teams for the playoff run.
this team is going to win out!
BT is so underrated by the fans it is mind-bottling. He has been a great Jet. Anytime you take a guy in the first round and he is on the team for 11 years that is OK in my book.
If he is done, I wish him the best.
I've noticed Bryan Thomes quite a bit this season. If he was younger and healthier you can bet he wouldn't come off the field when the defense is out there. I wouldn't bet against him making the team as a backup next season.

I seem to recall such a proposed solution in the previous article that you linked to. I don't recall that solution working 100%.
Have a feeling not 100%
I created a new user to test it and it works. A new user folder plus necessary links is created in the Users directory. No problems here.

If you got it to work, then congrats, because it doesn't on my install of 10.0.4. If I go into the Users System Prefs Panel and create a new user, the program ACTS like it is making a new user, but the ~userhome and its assorted files are never created...a bit of a pain to say the least.

A diagram of the Kepler space telescopr. (NASA image)
NASA's week-long effort to fix its $550 million planet-hunting Kepler telescope began July 18.
Kepler, which has confirmed the existence of 134 plants outside our solar system, broke down in May when a second of its four reaction wheels quit working properly, forcing the agency to sideline the telescope as it orbits the sun 40 million miles away from Earth.
Since the breakdown, NASA engineers have come up with a plan to attempt to resurrect at least one of the two bum reaction wheels, beginning with detailed diagnostic reviews of the malfunctioning components.
The rescue effort's second phase involves actually trying to get the reaction wheels spinning again – the resurrected movement of one is necessary for the telescope to position itself precisely enough to monitor for changes in the brightness of stars its lens targets.
Without at least three of its four reaction wheels operational, Kepler's planet-finding days are over, though the space agency has said it will still have uses for Kepler, albeit far less important ones, if the effort fails.
NASA officials are not optimistic about their chances, but Kepler has produced significant results already. Launched in 2009, the satellite found more than 100 confirmed planets and detected another 3,200 possible candidates, 90 percent of which scientists believe will eventually be confirmed. In addition, Kepler produced enough unexamined data in its four-year lifetime to keep scientists on Earth busy for another two years.

Roger Alvarez dropped out of high school despite the efforts of his English teacher, Antero Garcia. "You were determined to help me, but what was I willing to give? I could have actually tried," Alvarez says.
Roger Alvarez, 22, was one of the 52 percent of students who didn't make it through his senior year at Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles.
He dropped out in 2007, but by the time he was in ninth grade, Alvarez says he already knew he wasn't going to graduate.
"There's a certain amount of knowledge you have to have when you enter in a specific grade, and I didn't have it," Alvarez says. "Every class I used to go in, I was like, 'Do I know this? I don't know this. Nah, I'm not going to pass this class.' "
It was a shameful attitude, he tells his former English teacher, Antero Garcia, 29.
"You were determined to help me, but what was I willing to give? I could have actually tried," Alvarez says.
For his part, Garcia wants to know how he could have reached out to Alvarez better, but Alvarez says Garcia had always been helpful.
"I mean, you could pump me up, and then I see other students doing way better," Alvarez says. "So then, I get nervous. I get stuck, and then my motivation goes to the floor." He felt the situation was hopeless.
"You talked to me like if I could do it, but inside me, I knew I couldn't," he tells Garcia. "I just didn't want you to think that I'm ... stupid."
Now, school is a life tool that Alvarez says he's missing — but his teacher isn't to blame.
"Always, I just wanted you to know ... you were a good teacher, and I always respected you," he tells Garcia. "Some teachers, I kind of felt like they only wanted to teach a certain group of people. But you looked at me and you paid attention."
"Maybe it didn't get me to graduate, but there's a lot of teachers, they don't take the time to take a look. And it was never your fault."
Alvarez now works the night shift at a loading dock. He still hopes to get his GED one day. [Copyright 2012 National Public Radio]

Federal Judge Extends Block of Abortion Clinic Law
A federal judge has blocked enforcement of Alabama's new abortion clinic law until Aug. 15 to allow time for both sides to file more legal arguments. The new law was passed by the Legislature in its spring session. It requires doctors at abortion clinics to have approval from a local hospital to admit patients. The law was supposed to take effect July 1, but Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union and others got U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson to delay it while the groups challenged in it court. Thompson's temporary restraining order was supposed to run out July 12, but he extended it Tuesday to Aug. 15 with agreement from parties on both sides. The plaintiffs contend the law will stop abortions at three of Alabama's five licensed clinics. (Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

There's nothing prettier in tennis than winning ugly
Joel DruckerWhat is it about tennis that skews our expectations toward the elegant and causes us to overlook the importance of a good grind? After all, there's nothing more attractive than victory.

Brad Gilbert says he had no idea Andre Agassi was taking meth
Andre Agassi's former coach says the first time learned Agassi had used crystal meth was when he read an early draft of Agassi's autobiography last year, The New York Times reports.

Since assembling new team, Murray has flourished, matured
Ravi UbhaNot long ago, Andy Murray wasn't such a fan favorite in Britain. He was accused of being too cocky, didn't take his fitness seriously and, inevitably, was always injured. But since assembling a new team late last year, the 21-year-old has flourished and, admittedly, matured.

Blake, coach have worked in concert from the outset
Ravi UbhaIn tennis, the itinerant lifestyles of coaches are often the norm. Just ask Brad Gilbert, who has mentored Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick and Andy Murray for short spurts. But there are rare partnerships that have thrived because of longevity.

Relax Federer faithful, it's only March
Tom PerrottaDisappearing forehand. Waning confidence. Match deprivation. For Roger Federer, it all adds up to early-season doom and gloom. But fear not, the world No. 1 has been mired in frosty streaks in the past, and a return to top form is just around the corner.

I think we actually start fast for a change and go up 14-3. But after that, I think Georgia's talent and depth takes over....
Hoping for a 31-28 NU win.
But sadly I see something more like a 45-24 Georgia victory...
Look look obvious truth is very hard to conceal!! YOU MAY NEED TO READ THAT AGAIN!!
That being said, Wisconsin exposed and undressed our defense in the B1G Championship game; and ran and ran over and over again on us! GA will attempt to do the same thing and why not? Unless Coach Bo and the "boys" decide to stop that.
Games are won and lost in the trenches, on both sides of the ball. I have told you all what you already knew before; nothing new here folks.
Therefore for Nebraska to be competitive, we will need to take care of the ball (i.e. self destruct turn overs especially on our side of the field); then only we may have a chance to pull an upset! I ain't got no scores for you man but GBR!

Olynyk shot 9 for 9 from the field and 8 for 8 on free throws to go along with nine rebounds, and Harris had 10 boards for Gonzaga (18-2, 5-0), which was coming off a last-second loss at No. 9 Butler last weekend.
Josh Sharp and Brandon Davies led BYU (15-6, 5-2) with 14 points each. The Cougars scored just 21 points in the first half, and made only 35.6 percent of its shots from the field.
BYU's Tyler Haws, the WCC scoring leader at 21 points per game coming in, missed all nine of his shots from the field and was held to just one point. Haws had 42 points against Virginia Tech, the most by a Division I player this season. His previous low this season was nine points against Iowa State, and he had scored at least 20 in seven consecutive games coming in.
The Cougars next play at Portland Saturday night.

Middlebrooks is day-to-day
Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe Staff
May 8, 2013 02:47 PM
In his weekly interview with WEEI this afternoon, Red Sox manager John Farrell said third baseman Will Middlebrooks does not have any rib fractures and is day to day.
Middlebrooks is not in the lineup this evening.
Catcher David Ross, who bruised his quad, also is day-to-day. Middlebrooks and Ross collided chasing a foul ball Tuesday night.
No roster moves are imminent, Farrell said.

MERMAIDS AND PIRATES, THE HULK AND IRON MAN! By Chris Bregler, CEO of Manhattan Mocap
An internship is a supervised learning experience designed to broaden a student's knowledge. It allows a student to explore career options, provides on the job training, and encourages mentorship. The Career Services department will assist any qualified student in obtaining and maintaining an internship.
Students earn academic credit while helping to design and build sets, make costumes, plan publicity, and perform in the department's two productions each year. The theatre program, founded in 1988, has staged plays as wide ranging as Sophocles's Antigone to modern musicals such as Pippin. In addition, students in their last two years of study can work with NYIT's resident professional acting company, A Small Company in America. This group stages four plays a year from an eclectic repertoire.
Creative expression and undergraduate research with faculty members has become an integral part of a student's educational experience at New York Institute of Technology. The SOURCE is intended to provide a unique opportunity for students to present their research and creative scholarly work in collaboration with faculty members and mentors.
In its second year, the SOURCE has sponsored well over 100 presentations, artistic exhibitions and scholarly papers, each one the product of NYIT undergraduate student achievement and effort.

Does anyone (or their children) have one? My daughter has been having some problems with anything she's eating coming up into her nose; her doctor took a look yesterday and noticed her uvula is split. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this, if it caused any problems, if her problems eating are something that she even can outgrow or if it's going to be an ongoing issue, etc, etc, etc. We were referred to a specialist, but it will be a little while until we can get in to see him, and our regular doctor didn't have very much information on the subject. Dr. Google has been telling me all about the nasal regurgitation issue, speech issues, adenoid surgery complications, etc, etc, etc, but not about treatment options if it does cause ongoing problems.

Max Scherzer has been almost exactly the same pitcher the last three years. He pitches around a 3.75 xFIP then fights Nazis in the offseason. (He sure is limber for being thousands of years old, made of mud and having two different color eyes!) I say almost because his strikeout rate fell a tad in 2011, but nothing that I'm worried about. His velocity was fully populated with speedballs. Gas at 93 MPH on average. Sometimes turning the heat up to 98 just to confuse thermometers. Three years under his belt and he's going to be 27 years old for half the season. Don't think we've seen the best of what Scherzer has to offer. Can you tell my excitement. I can't even make complete sentences. What's got me even more excited for 2012? He cut his walk rate last year. To borrow a yokelism that no one says, that was the big junebug in his bonnet and he eradimacated it. So what can we expect of Max Scherzer for 2012 fantasy baseball and what makes him a sleeper?
Please, blog, may I have some more?2012 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers
Brad Peacock isn't even ranked in the top 150 starters for CBS. Then again they have Javier Vazquez ranked 47th overall and he retired, so there's that. Here's what I said when he was traded to the A's, "Peacock had a great season in Double- and Triple-A last year, putting up a 2.39 ERA and a 177/47 K/BB line. The A's basically got Gio Gonzalez back. I'm gonna be all about Peacock in 2012 like I just woke up from a nap after drinking seven glasses of water." And that's me quoting me! I obviously thought the acquisition of Peacock by Pitt was a great get. I wonder if skinny Jonah Hill is as good a baseball evaluator as fat Jonah Hill. I know he's not as funny. He's not even as easy to look at. Nothing worse than the nerd who gets the summer makeover and thinks he's now cool. You're still a nerd, embrace your Jew-fro. Don't make me take off my mustache and smack you with it. Peacock is done with the minors. He has nothing left to prove, so I do think the understaffed A's will show off their Peacock in their Opening Day rotation. So what can we expect of Brad Peacock for 2012 fantasy baseball and what makes him a sleeper?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Look at you getting two posts today, which we will continue until next October. It's an exciting time to be alive. Kinda like in the 1300′s when doorknobs were invented and people no longer needed to axe down the door to enter their house. So how about those Cleveland Indians brimming with prospects? It's the biggest Native American bounty since the original Thanksgiving. Fingers crossed these Indians aren't practically wiped from existence, then almost 400 years later Lonnie Chisenhall's great-great grandniece is allowed to open a casino. Lonnie Chisenhall was called up in the middle of last season, like a firefly without a light. In his first full month, he hit two homers and .217, like a slow torch burning. In his 2nd month, he didn't do much better, like a key that could use a little turning. Seemed like he should've been getting somewhere. Then in September, he hit four homers and .279. Like a madman laughing at the rain. If you knew those were Soul Asylum lyrics, pat yourself on the back…with a knife. I'll take that September month from Chisenhall every day of the week and twice on Muesday if we can get that from him every month next year, but can we? Let's see what we can expect of Lonnie Chisenhall in 2012 fantasy baseball and what makes him a sleeper?
Please, blog, may I have some more?I, Albert Lang, have been a Kelly Johnson fan, for no real reason, for some time now. I seem to be the only one. ESPN has him in the 200s, and his ADP is at 253. Certainly his 2011 (.222/.304/.413) did nothing to engender him to fantasy players, but I think this just makes him a steal for 2012.
Please, blog, may I have some more?No, they don't refer to these Nolan Reimold-types as being "Grey's stubborn and unable to let go of past" sleepers. No, I'm not just recycling posts from 2009. Though how about that Garrett Atkins?! These players are post-hype sleepers, y'all! Catch the excitement! Don't worry, I won't push Carlos Quentin on you. Though he is reporting he's fully healthy. (I'm joking; Quentin is never fully healthy. Padres might want to consider the Tijuana farmacias to cut back on Quentin's overhead (and under-oblique.
Please, blog, may I have some more?This is ridiculous. Brandon Morrow has been a sleeper for me going on three years. I realize this. Hence my pointing-it-out'ing. Here's what I have to ask myself. Is he just another Ricky Nolasco? A guy that consistently has an ERA higher than his xFIP and you should just ignore? Nolasco had a 5.06 ERA in 2009 and a 3.23 xFIP. Pegged by everyone and their monkey's uncle to be a breakout candidate in 2010. Monkey's Uncle, "Actually, I liked Mat Latos." Then in 2010, Nolasco flopped again — 4.51 ERA vs.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I'll give you a little insight into my writing these posts. I write the majority of them in October and November. Baseball's slow then and it gives me time to backlog. I tell you this because I want to be clear that when I wrote this post Alex Presley was a sleeper with everyday playing time coming his way in five months. Whether that holds true through the offseason and Spring Training, me no psychic. Me no grammar smartie either. Any the hoo! Last year Presley was the top earning dead celebrity…*checking notes* That's all wrong! Presley had 4 homers and 9 steals with a .298 average. Yay, maybe he can get a float in Pittsburgh's St.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Who knows how to get pageviews better than me? I mean, when people see the title Vernon Wells, 2012 Fantasy Sleeper they are bound to click on that. Am I right, or am I right-right?! Shoot, I imagine a lot of people will link to this article and before I know it I'll have a castle made of all the pennies I earn from people reading this article then people will tour my penny castle in a bus and point out the room where I went mad waiting for Vernon Wells to actually hit. The irony! (If that's irony, I don't know. Only British people know what irony is.) Neverthehullabooloo, guys and three girl readers, Vernon Wells really wasn't bad last year. He was terrible! See what I did there? Clever with a capital K. He hit 25 homers but batted .218 and he just turned 33 years old. Nice sleeper, Grey, did you not want to write about Edgar Renteria?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Ugh. I hate Alex Rios. It hurts me soul, Lupe Fiasco, to write this post. Unfortch, I gotta point out Alex Rios because of his terrible 2011 has made him underrated. I'm just going to write the rest of this post and then pretend like it never happened if he disappoints again. You know, like Matthew Berry would. Last year, Rios put up a line of 64/13/44/.227/11. That looks a lot like the line you get if Darwin Barney is pinch-running for Adam Dunn every time he gets on base. Rios had a career worst year in average, steals, RBIs and walk rate. Also, his worst power year in 7 years (since his sophomore year) and worst Isolated Power since his rookie year. The only thing he didn't do last year on the negative side of things was verbally attack your grandmother while defecating on your favorite team jersey. Though I'm sure he would've if he knew where you or Gramsie lived.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Peter Bourjos was one of my sleeper picks last year, so here we are doing our fantasy baseball 2012 sleeper posts with more of the same? Yawn! Hey, Random Italicized Voice, yawning and sleepers go hand in hand. I'm going to ignore you said that.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Self Doubt in Computer Engineering
My name is Melissa and I am a 2nd year student at El Camino College and also my major is Computer Engineering. I sometimes get really discouraged when most people are progressing along in their majors faster then I am. I mainly think I should just change my major and finish fast. Have you ever had these thoughts and if so how did you solve the problem?

Answer by
Jananda Hill
Hello Melissa, Congratulations on reaching your second year in Computer Engineering! Although it is a tough, time-consuming major, when you're done, you'll have a wonderful sense of accomplishment. You will also have a marketable skill that can be applied to many real-world problems, and many companies will be interested in hiring you. Whenever I felt discouraged, I just remembered my goal. My future goal allowed me to feel good in the present about all the hard work I was putting into my major. I want to share this quote with you: If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for. Also, remember to learn the basics before proceeding to more advanced topics, and you will be greatly rewarded. I wish you all the best in your studies! Warm regards, Jananda

Dear Readers,
As mentioned in the previous newsletter issue, we've been busy bees organizing the upcoming SmashingMag Meetup as well as a one-day workshop with CSS Guru Jens Grochtdreis in Frankfurt on Monday the 27th of February. The CSS3 Master class will be held in English and all you have to do to join is to answer a short question related to the topic of the workshop on our meetup page. Last but definitely not least, we'd like to thank MailChimp for sponsoring the workshop, and Linotype for sponsoring the evening event — both to which we all look very much forward to!
Last week was also pretty exciting for us, especially after the launch of the Smashing Book #3 presale. We've received truly smashing feedback and promise to give our best to answer all further requests and questions via our contact form and on Twitter (#smbook3). The pre-order is available for just a few days so don't miss your opportunity to pre-order the Smashing Book #3 at a special price while you can!
In today's newsletter issue, we'll be covering some CSS and HTML snippets, a quality free font, a color scheme tool and vintage album covers. We're also giving away 2 tickets to the Mobilism Conference in Amsterdam. Further details regarding the conf tickets are provided below.
We hope you enjoy the newsletter!

Whether you are a design enthusiast or a company marketing director, you're likely to be always looking for new and exciting designs to spice up your wallpaper/company website. Browsing for nuggets on the Web can be a lot of fun, but sometimes you wish someone would take the time to put together a little designer "Hall Of Fame"… actually, 'he' did.
365 Awesome Designers is a "no-frills" — but lots of "design-thrills" — project, that features interesting, creative, (pick your "awesome" adjective of choice) designers and some of their creations. Every day the avid design fan can discover a new craftsperson. And should your interest in a designer go deeper, the website's creators provide you with all the necessary information to either stalk your new favorite designer online or on Twitter. (jc)
Whatever project you're working on, the chances are high that you'll be using the same snippets of code that you've used in your previous projects as well. Whether it's a data table, a search, breadcrumbs or pagination — wouldn't it be nice to have a library of bulletproof reusable CSS/HTML components and just grab them when you need them for your work?
Pea.rs might be just the tool you're looking for. It's an open source WordPress theme that lets you collect, test and experiment with interface pattern pairings of CSS and HTML. You can easily have your own pattern library setup and running quickly. Essentially, each pattern is a post in WordPress, code snippets are added using custom fields, and the main content field is used for optional notes. Very useful! (vf)
Pictograms are simple symbols that represent signs, instructions, or any other idea. They are also common interface design elements — widely used for apps or general websites. While you could use them separately (or integrate them as sprites in your website), they are often useful to have as perfectly scalable icons, e.g. if you want to display something on a map.
Entypo Pictograms is a set of more than 100 pictograms available as OpenType fonts, released under Creative Commons license and also free for commercial use. The collection consists of many navigation elements and other easily recognizable icons. Authors Daniel Bruce and Andreas Blombäck will appreciate seeing any usage of Entypo in your design. (af)
Few people have pitch-perfect color vision. Disregarding the large part of the population that has some form of color-blindness, it is rare that one can say with utter certainty exactly which color corresponds to which. For designers whose work partly depends on matching color palettes, the hit-and-miss approach to color selection can be nerve-wrecking and time-consuming. Colllor represents a viable, if not overly clinical, tool to help choose your color palette.
Colllor helps you find specific colors and their corresponding shades, hues and tones. You can even look for associating colors to broaden your palette, which can be a useful tool in a Web developer's belt. You can input color names using plain English as well as in Hex code, but don't expect too much — we have tried (in vain) to get results on 'rust', 'sunset', and 'yellow', to no avail. (jc)
So you've got about a dozen projects running on WordPress. Some of them are somehow customized, but most are using the same plugins or even the same themes. What do you do if your plugins or themes get outdated, or if a new version comes along? Going through all the websites and updating the plugins manually doesn't sound very exciting, does it?
WP Remote to the rescue. This little online service helps you monitor and manage all of your WordPress-powered websites and keeps you up to date. The tool allows you to instantly take care of core WordPress updates, plugin updates and theme updates, generating daily backups. WP Remote is absolutely free to use; you only need to install the WP Remote plugin on your WordPress sites, activating it with your API key. A great little time-saver for small projects. (vf)
Sorting, filtering, pagination and state-saving in an interactive table sounds like quite an overhead for any developer, especially if you're keen on high performance and the scalability of your tables. DataTables is a highly flexible jQuery plug-in that can help you with exactly that challenge.
The library can display data from different sources, be it DOM (i.e. an HTML table in a page), a JavaScript array, or a server-side file with JSON formatting. Among other features, the library provides pagination, on-the-fly filtering, and multi-column sorting with data type detection. And the features that DataTables provides can be enhanced by many freely available plug-ins: e.g. with row grouping, column filtering, column resizer, etc. The library weighs 68K minified, and 20K gzip'd. If you're looking for an advanced and robust data tables plug-in, this is certainly one worth checking out. Open source, and released under GPL and BSD. (af)
Flash preloaders are well-known from the good old days. At that time, loading times on the Web were long, Adobe Flash was kind of cool, and preloaders were not only useful but necessary to indicate the status of the loading process for Flash-based websites. In fact, in 2008 we featured creative Flash preloaders in one of our articles. But the New York Web and advertising agency Big Spaceship devoted an entire website to (its own and other) Flash preloaders.
The site is called Prettyloaded, and it's actually a (pretty long) Flash movie — with its own preloader, of course. Most of today's preloaders are much simpler: the notorious AJAX circle ball and its various minimalistic descendants dominate the scene, so no Flash plugin is necessary. Still, looking at creative preloaders might be useful to come up with more original HTML5 preloaders, as well. (sl)
Some people collect postcards, others collect stamps or pencils. The guys behind Jive Time Records, a Seattle-based store specializing in used vinyl, collect — guess what? — vintage album covers. More than that, they group and classify them according to their shapes: circles, dots, squares, lines, stripes or arrows.
The result is Project Thirty-Three, a growing collection of vintage album covers that convey their messages with only simple shapes and typography. The website features over 430 covers and the collection keeps growing. Now, that's an interesting source of inspiration for your next cover design or poster! (vf)
Being organized may be very helpful in our everyday lives. Some people are naturally organized, and without noticing it, create patterns and rules for systemizing their objects. In case you're one of those talented people who makes a hobby out of this mania, you'd certainly like to visit Things Organized Neatly.
In the blog curated by Austin Radcliffe, you'll observe perfectly harmonized compositions that vary in shape, size, material, color, category and related objects. Some examples are vintage matchboxes, headphones, keys, cups, to name a few. There's also the possibility of posting one of your compositions, in case you'd like to show your friends that organization can also be an art in itself. (tt)
As always, we sincerely appreciate everyone's time and support. We would also like to thank our trainees Ana Flasker and Luca Degasperi for all their great work and contribution in the previous months. We hope that your internship at Smashing Magazine has met your expectations and we wish you both all the best in your future endeavours!
As mentioned at the beginning, this time we're giving away 2 tickets to the Mobilism Conference in Amsterdam, Netherlands. If you'd like to win one, all you have to do is tweet "Goddag @smashingmag take me to #mobilismconf in Amsterdam!
" The two lucky winners will be announced on the 2nd of March. Good luck and stay tuned!
Frankfurt, here we come!
Yours sincerely,
The Smashing Team

A Historic Landmark in Chennai
Vivekananda House (known as Vivekanandar Illam in Tamil), an important landmark in Chennai is associated with the Sri Ramakrishna Math since 1897 when Swami Vivekananda stayed here for nine days after his triumphant return from the West. Later, Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai was founded and functioned at this place during its ten years from 1897 to 1906. Now, this historic place houses a permanent exhibition on Indian Culture and Swami Vivekananda's Life. Currently, Vivekananda House is maintained by Sri Ramakrishna Math and it's a source of inspiration to thousands of people who visit it every year.
Swami Vivekananda's 150th Birth Anniversary Yearlong Events – 2013-14
Vivekananda Navaratri Celebrations – Feb 06-14, 2014
The 150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda is being celebrated in all parts of India and abroad and an awareness of his singular contribution to Indian resurgence is being felt anew. Chennai is blessed as it played host to this great beacon of light for nine days when he stayed in Vivekananda House or Vivekanandar Illam (then known as Ice House) from 6th to 14th Feb, 1897. It is befitting that these nine days are celebrated as 'Vivekananda Navaratri' from those times itself.
To mark this occasion special programmes were held as usual at Vivekananda House from Feb 6th to 14, 2014.

Experience Vivekananda Project – Exhibition on Swami Vivekananda's Life & Message
As part of 150th Birth Anniversary Celebrations of Swami Vivekananda, Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai has launched "Experience Vivekananda" Project, an initiative to showcase Swami Vivekananda's personality and message through state-of-the-art multimedia galleries and exhibits at Vivekananda House utilizing various types of exhibits, short inspirational videos, 3D animated movie clips and a Holographic presentation.

A jury was seated Monday afternoon in Washington County District Court for a Sperry man charged with the death of an Oklahoma Department of Transportation employee.
Deven Franklin is charged with first degree manslaughter in the death of Ira Henderson in November 2011. The incident occurred on U.S. Highway 75 north of Ramona. Henderson was part of an ODOT work crew when the Oklahoma Highway Patrol says a car driven by Franklin struck and killed him.
OHP troopers said they found a wooden box containing marijuana and related paraphernalia in Franklin's car and a blood test determined that enough drugs were present in his system to impair his ability to drive.

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff-- including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see. This was passed on to me from another pumpkin. Now, it is your turn to pass it to a pumpkin, I liked this enough to send it to all the pumpkins in my patch.
Happy Fall--Happy Thanksgiving! To All
Cheers,Millie & Jim
Thanks Millie & Jim McG.

Leaf Ultimate Redemption...redeemed...
I bought one of the "mystery memorabilia item" redemptions from Leaf Ultimate basketball. There have been plenty of breaks of this product with only a couple of these redembtions showing up on EBAY. There are a couple of others that were pulled on this forum too I beleive. So...after seeing numerous box breaks and multiple case breaks I figured these redemptions were pretty rare since I have only seen a handful of these redemptions. There are big ticket items you can pull based on the sell sheet for this product. There are Lebron and Jordan signed jerseys...amongst other high end items. I know in the card game you win some and you lose some but this was pretty dissapointing. I ended up with an 8X10 signed photo of Bradley Beal. This is maybe a $20 item. Would you consider an 8X10 photo "memorobilia"? I may be a little jaded becuase I spent a bit more than this worth but I beleive the redemption card is a little misleading. Your thoughts? Please set me straight if I am not thinking clearly! Thanks! -Josh |

Yes, I have always considered 8x10's to be memorabilia.

Argyle & Crew - Adventure in the Land of Skcos Regular price: $2.09 Bundle price: $2.00It's a collaborative storytelling adventure for kids. It's a great pick up game for adults. It's the sock puppet RPG!
The land of Skcos is inhabited by all manner of things, but primarily its inhabitants belong to a race of ever changing, always interesting creatures called Soppets. Soppets are a magical breed of intelligent, funny, thrill seeking socks.
Yes, you read that correctly, Socks.
Argyle & Crew is a free wheeling system powered by imagination. Rather than a character sheet like a traditional RPG, your character and it's attributes are all based on a sock puppet, or in Skcos lingo, a Soppet. Each Soppet has several unique qualities which allow it to do extraordinary things!
Argyle & Crew is great game for children as young as 4 years old. ...
Welcome to Argyle & Crew's Little Book of Big Ideas! Here you will find eleven scenarios for you and your players to enjoy. Some are geared towards younger children facing new situations such as airports and traveling on a plane. Others are geared towards children who could use a hand facing their fears or learning more about their own emotions. Some are just plain old fun. We hope you'll enjoy them all!

(DES.uh.mul dust)
An inconsequential numerical amount.
Example Citation:
In 1999, Gonzalez received $1.4 million from the National Institutes of Health to compare his enzyme-nutritional therapy with the best chemotherapy now available for the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. As a percentage of the fifteen billion dollars that the federal government spends on medical research annually, the grant amounts to what one federal health official described to me as "decimal dust."

Earliest Citation:
Critics worry that as partnerships bloom, they could drain billions of tax dollars from the Treasury, and even lead to the "disincorporation" of America. The Treasury Department originally estimated it could raise $665 million over a five-year span by changing the tax status.
The Stanger Report dismisses that revenue estimate as exaggerated, saying revised Treasury studies now say the government would gain just $24 million next year if it taxes MLPs as corporations "decimal dust," as one senator put it.
Stephen Maita, "The Bloom is Off the MLP Market," The San Francisco Chronicle, July 27, 1987
Something (usually a dollar amount) gets called decimal dust after it has been compared to something much larger. For example, consider the numbers in the citation above: Dividing the $1.4 million received by the doctor with the $15 billion medical research budget, the result is 0.000093. That tiny decimal fraction makes the smaller monetary amount seem almost nonexistent, as though it could be blown away like a speck of dust.
