After the monster free agency we saw for the Eagles during which we bagged 6 pro-bowlers, we have been watching with bated breath for the impact that the high priced free agents will make to this franchise. With two games gone now (the second against a play-off contender) it is probably worth assessing the impact that the new additions have had on the field! I am looking at any player on the current roster whom was not with the franchise last season. I have decided to omit rookies for two reasons. The first being due to the reduced off-season and loss of invaluable rookie training camps which has made things tougher to acclimate to the NFL. The second being due to the majority of veteran acquisitions having proven themselves already in the NFL and being expected to contribute in a big way day 1 (unlike the rookies whom are usually projects).
Nnamdi Asomugha (Five-year, $60 million deal)
I guess it is only fair to start of with the most sought after free agent in years. Billed as a true shut-down cornerwhom could cover any of the top #1 WR's in the league. Results have been mixed so far. In game one we saw Nnamdi beaten twice by Brandon Gibson (hardly Andre Johnson), the first leading to a 31 yard reception, and the second to an awful pass interference penalty giving Rams possession at the 1 yard line. In game two we did see Nnamdi grab his first INT as an Eagle, and had such good coverage early in the game that they even showed a replay of him covering Julio Jones. A better day at the office but still not perfect.
Rating: C
Played awful against the Rams NFL worst receiving corps, but picked up his game against the Falcons. So far not worth his whopper contract, but has time to prove himself as the season goes on.
(More after the jump)
Jason Babin (Five Year, $28 million deal)
Following his 2009 stint with the franchise, we allowed Babin to leave in free agency, and why not? Back 2 seasons ago he was still a first round bust. Following a Pro-Bowl year in Jim Washburns wide 9 scheme, we saw fit to re-unite Babin with Washburn when he came to Philadelphia, in part hoping to finally provide a threat opposite Trent Cole. In both games we have seen that Babin was not a one hit wonder, and is a complete DE in the Washburn scheme, he has consistently got pressure and hits on both Bradford & Ryan, alongside TFL against two of the NFC's top backs in Turner & Jackson.
Rating: A
Heck can we really say that Babin has not played lights out with 3 sacks in two games? So far worth every penny he is paid.
Ronnie Brown (1 Year, $1 million deal)
After years of trying (and failing) to sign a decent complimentary back for Westbrook, and now McCoy, the Eagles went after former Dolphin Ronnie Brown. The Wildcat ace had to do it all in Miami, run, block, catch passes, and even on occasion actually throw the ball. It is not common that a back with this skill-set becomes a FA, let alone one that has been to a Pro-Bowl. The Eagles signed Ronnie Brown, undoubtedly not only to back-up McCoy, but to spell McCoy and help give the Eagles a 1-2 punch at HB. After two games we have not seen much, bar a failed Wildcat play, and a few carries here and there we have not yet seen much of Brown in the Eagles offense.
Rating: C
Having re-watched last years Falcons game yesterday morning, he cannot help but remind me of Mike Bell who can 'rip off' a gain of 10 yards, but then be stuffed the rest of the evening. That being said, he is worth his bargain basement contract so far.
Kyle DeVan (1 Year, $525K)* *Final year of Colts deal
With the uncertainty at RG, despite being a position filled by rookie fireman Danny Watkins, rookie opera singer Julian Vandervelde and incumbent C Mike McGlynn, Howard Mudd was not satisfied with his personnel at the position and in a move much reminiscent of the Stacey Andrews/Reggie Wells trade 12 months prior, the Eagles signed Kyle DeVan, a former Mudd disciple from Indianapolis, off Wavers to protect Vicks blindside. So far, more than likely due to his knowledge in the Mudd blocking scheme, DeVan has been stable at the RG position having started both games so far.
Rating: C
DeVan snuck onto the roster at the 11th hour before the start of the season and has beaten out first round rookie Danny Watkins for the role at protecting Vick. He has not been outstanding, but has done enough to keep defensive linesmen off of Vick. Nothing more that could be asked.
Cullen Jenkins (Five-Year, $25 million deal)
Since the days of Corey Simon, the Eagles have unsuccessfully tried to fill the DT position with top tier talent using their first pick in the 2005 (Patterson), 2006 (Bunkley) & 2008 (Laws) drafts at the position. However this trio combined for only 24 sacks over a combined 14 seasons, a far cry from Corey Simon averaging 6 per season. With this in mind the Eagles went after Cullen Jenkins, previously a DE in the Packers 3-4 defense. We have seen Jenkins take to the Washburns wide 9 scheme like a fish to water, and has consistently beat his man opposite to get into the backfield. for a sack or TFL.
Rating: A
Jenkins for lack of a better phrase has been a monster at DT for the Eagles, having already bagged 3 sacks in two games including a brutal hit on Matt Ryan last night. It is also noteworthy that Jenkins is almost halfway to equalling the total sacks from the DT position on the team last season (7). Very much like Babin, worth every penny of his contract.
Evan Mathis (1 Year, $735K deal)
With one of the shakiest O-lines in football, the Eagles have done a lot to fortify the position, be it draft picks, trades, free agents or legendary coaches. Evan Mathis, the former Bengal highly rated by Pro Football Focus was signed to give the Eagles some depth and potential competition at the G position, which was losing all but incumbent starter Todd Herremans. Upon the season opener with Todd Herremans moving to RT, Mathis suddenly found himself starting at his favoured LG. Mathis has been stable at the very least during the first two games.
Rating: B
Seeing as you usually only hear an offensive linemans name when he does something wrong, the silence around Mathis bodes well for this offense. Upon further inspection of last nights encounter in the Georgia dome, it was his block at the second level which allowed McCoy in for his second rushing TD.
Jarrad Page (1 Year, $735K deal)
Since the departure of Brian Dawkins the question marks at the FS position for the Eagles have yet to be truly remedied. Macho Harris, Sean Jones & Marlin Jackson could not live up to the task in 2009 and in 2010 rookie Nate Allen performed well (bar the Titans game) before tearing his patella tendon and leaving the FS job to 7th round rookie Kurt Coleman. Entering 2010, Page was signed to compete with Nate Allen at the "SS" position and has started both games there, providing a veteran influence to what is a very young safety group (Allen, Coleman & Jarrett all 23 or younger.) Jarrad Page has not lit the world alight, and has somewhat benefited with Asomugha, Samuel & DRC on the outside.
Rating: C
Page has been steady, but took a real hammering yesterday against the falcons, out of position on Turners big gain and bullied by sure fire HOF Tony Gonzalez most of the evening. Played better against the Rams in week 1.
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (Six-Year, $16 million deal)* *Contract Signed with Cardinals
One of the worst kept secrets during the lock-out was that Kevin Kolb would be plying his trade in the Arizona desert by the end of the off-season. The only question was what compensation would the Eagles settle for. With CB a need the Eagles managed to acquire Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie along with a future second round pick from the Cardinals. Rodgers-Cromartie originally seemed to be pencilled in the starting gig opposite Asante Samuel, but eventually became the leagues best 3rd QB following the Asomugha acquisition. Since blocking a pre-season field goal, Rodgers-Cromartie has appeared sporadically in the Eagles defense during the first game due to Castillo using his Base 4-3 defense for much of the game. During his limited time he did allow a few receptions to Danny Amendola. Against the Falcons he did see a lot more game time with Asante Samuel heading to the locker room to sort out a dislocated finger. During this time he broke up a deep pass intended for Julio Jones and also made a TD saving tackle on Michael Turners breakout 4th quarter run.
Rating: B
In limited time Rodgers-Cromartie, has played well, particularly on the outside. He does not look comfortable in the slot but makes up for this athletically.
Vince Young (1 Year, $4 million deal)
Fact: Michael Vick only played 12 games last year
Fact: Kevin Kolb was also injured during the season
With this in mind, and Kolb having already been sent to the Arizona Desert for a small ransom, it is no surprise that the Eagles were in the market for another veteran back-up QB, and history has taught us that they often see playing time (Garcia, Feeley, Kolb). The Eagles pulled off a minor coup picking up Vince Young, a poor mans Vick & fellow fallen pro-bowl star to relatively cheap 1 year contract. He looked good during the pre-season, although picked up probably the worst looking hamstring pull in history when rolling out against the Jets.
Rating: N/A
To place a rating on Young would be superfluous to say the least. As long as he gets back healthy, he looks like a very clever acquisition.
Overall Impression:
After seasons of misses on marquee free agent signings (Stacey Andrews), marginal additions (Kelley Washington), projects (Dan Klecko) and total waste of spaces (Mike Bell) it is great to see that the Eagles are getting some good production out of its free agent signings from this summer. Although some players are a little rough around the edges, they are all to some extent validating their place on the roster by their performances. Not saying that all acquisitions came to fruitation (Ryan Harris), but the majority have.
Thanks for reading

Business owner looking for owners of lost memory card (From The Bolton News)
Business owner looking for owners of lost memory card
Updated 8:43pm Monday 14th April 2014 in News By Liam Thorp, Reporter
A BOLTON business owner is trying to locate a family who left a memory card filled with pictures in his shop.
John Fallon, owner of the Guitar Shack in the square next to the Octagon Theatre, found the 2GB memory card in his shop after a couple had been in with their young child.
He checked the pictures to confirm it was the same family who had recently visited the shop.
Mr Fallon said: "There were a lot of family pictures on there so I think they would want to get it back."
Anyone who believes they may be the owner of the memory card or may know who it belongs to is encouraged to contact the Bolton News on 01204 537243.

Thousands left in the dark after Wednesday's winter storm are back in service, but that was not the case Thursday for a popular Charlottesville grocer.
Whole Foods on Hydraulic Road relied entirely on generator power Thursday. After last summer's derecho knocked out power and caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses for stores in the mid-Atlantic, the company isn't taking any chances.
"We haven't used a generator before," said Geoffrey Garbaccio, assistant store manager. "After the storm in June, or this summer, the company decided to buy two generators and they are on call at all times."
But the generator didn't arrive in Charlottesville until early Thursday morning. Employees had to pack all perishable items into a refrigerated truck overnight, and unload them before the store opened.
Store managers say they dread coping with power problems, but admit they're getting pretty good at it.

I appreciate a good joke. Who doesn't? I've laughed at jokes about race, about religion, about war, about torture, and yes, even about rape. Jokes about sensitive topics usually elicit a laugh-gag reflex from me. I start to laugh, then a catch myself and my laughter soon turns to feined outrage. But I laugh. And I can appreciate a comedian who can make me laugh. We've all probably at one point or another laughed at jokes that were deemed offensive to some. For me to deny otherwise would make me a hypocrite.
These past few weeks, we've seen fighters getting into trouble for saying or tweeting some disturbing comments about the topic of rape. Forrest Griffin did it, Rashad Evans did it, and now Miguel Torres did it, but unlike the former two, Torres got fired over his tweets. Let's get this straight: I personally do not believe any subject is out of bounds. I can laugh at anything. When you make a topic out of bounds, that sets it up to be untouchable in some way, that you cannot criticize something, and for me, criticism is a healthy part of what makes society move forward. Without criticism, beliefs turn to dogma and dogma can create sheep. It is important for humanity to continually question its beliefs, and jokes in a way play their part in such criticism.
But what makes a successful joke is context. Context is key. What the fighters fail to realize here is that you cannot just deliver a punchline. There's a context you need to develop and create - the set up before the big punchline. And unfortunately for these fighters, Twitter is not the appropriate forum to set up such jokes. Fighters do not have 2 hours during an HBO special to set up their jokes. They have 140 characters on the limited public format that is Twitter. So if you're going to joke, or say something in general, it has to be thought out. There is a reason why you don't see comedians simply deliver punchlines all day.
Griffin failed to set up his joke. Not only did he fail to set the context, he responded poorly to those criticizing him. Dana White finally had to come out and set the story straight, but the question is: why didn't Griffin just set it straight himself? Why did we have to hear it from Dana, whose word is dubious at best to begin with? Rashad's comment was different, since it was in the context of hyping the fight. For me, it was just another unfunny Rashad joke. Was it appropriate even in that context? No, and that's why he got roasted for it. As for Torres, he just should have known better. By taking a joke out of context from a TV show, he can't have reasonably expected people to have seen that show and the joke, especially when he made no mention of the TV show. I've seen the show he refrenced, and I am a fan of its tasteless humour, but even I don't recall that particular line. If he did expect people to know, that's his stupid fault. And really, that's what it comes down to: we cannot read minds. You cannot assume people will just "get it."
Whether you believe it was fair of the UFC to punish Torres and not the other two is besides the point. And of course Torres wasn't making some grand commentary on society at large: He was being stupid. The crux of the matter is that fighters are using a public forum to make jokes, and it is their responsibility to set the context before they make their jokes. When there is no context, all bets are off, and if you're going to joke about subjects like rape, then you'd better be prepared to take what's coming to you. Bottom line: Torres got fired and it is entirely his boneheaded fault.

Libertyville Friday, 12/7/12 Libertyville's Olivia Mayer (22) tries to get a shot up past Stevenson's Alex Elzinga (42) during the second quarter of Friday evening's game. Stevenson won the game, 31-27. | Brian O'Mahoney~for Sun-Times Media
Olivia Mayer stands a shade under 5-foot-5, but she's a frequent visitor to the lane.
Taller players are rarely an obstacle to the scoring intentions of the senior on Libertyville's girls basketball team. Her fearless approach was on display during the Wildcats' 31-27 loss to Stevenson Friday, as she charged to the basket against defenders who check in at close to 6-feet tall.
"I've gotten my shot blocked before, and that's the worst that can happen," Mayer said. "I just try to help my team."
Her value to the young Wildcats — who started the season 2-7 — cannot be overstated.
"She's our leader on and off the court," Libertyville coach Greg Pedersen said. "She's our facilitator. We look for her not only to score, but to set people up to score."
Mayer, who scored 12 points Friday, said she takes whatever the defense gives her.
"I'm looking to take the open shot, but my role is driving in the lane and dishing off to my teammates," she said. "It's a fair mix (of passing and shooting)."
Her play grades out much higher than fair in the eyes of her rivals.
"Olivia played very well tonight," Stevenson senior Kari Moffat said Friday. "She plays aggressively and smart. She really makes her team go."
When the game is on the line, the Libertyville offense always flows through Mayer. She exhibits all the traits of a quality point guard, including the ability to dribble, pass, score and defend.
Pedersen has counseled his star on the importance of being a go-to player.
"We expect her to be fearless," Pedersen said. "We've been encouraging her to attack the basket. She's the one person who has to take chances to get us to where we need to be.
"She's an excellent point guard. ... Whatever point guards need to do, Olivia is capable of doing it all." ~.

SUMMER GIGS with DJ YODA
To promote our first gig of the summer with DJ Yoda, here's a new film of our collaboration with the Deckmeister last year at Bestival – Manu Chao's "King of the Bongo". We're playing an updated version of the show at the Elgar Rooms at the Royal Albert Hall on 11th July, and then Lounge of the Farm festival main stage on the 2nd August and Camp Bestival main stage on 3rd August. Tickets are selling out fast for the London show so grab one whilst you can:
NEW ALBUM on its way!
Good things come to those who wait…
…and we could not be more excited that there is a second TSMB album now recorded and in production! It's rare to see all 14 members of the Trans-Siberian March Band in a room together except on nights with a full moon, but here we all are messing with expensive lovely equipment at Air Studios in Hampstead.
The album will be a mix of originals and our own takes on traditional Balkan and Gypsy tunes. Even bigger and better than the last, it's mostly fast and furious but paces itself with the obligatory latin-flavoured smoochy number, a love medley and a quick blast of the Tetris theme. More brass than you can slide a trombone at comes as standard.. hints of drum&bass and hip-hop thrown in by the percussion section for good measure? Why not.
Huge thanks to Fi and Toby at Air Studios and Rob from the band for managing to herd everyone together for long enough to record us, and for all your time and effort in making it sound great. The release date is TBC, but we'll keep you updated here as well as on Facebook and Twitter (keep your eye out for the odd preview too). You can also still get our first album and our more recent Live at the Union Chapel E.P. on Bandcamp.
Ps. we're taking a break from our Rich Mix residency this month but we'll be back in July. Here's a picture of bass drum-ist and monkey-botherer Fotis leading a thoroughly enjoyable Balkan dance workshop at the May edition!
On our memorable European summer tours of 2009&10, TSMB played several gigs in Bosnia & Herzegovina, including one in the central town of Maglaj, on the River Bosna. Though not well covered in the Western press, you may have read or seen in the news that the region just had three months' worth of rain fell in the space of a few days.
Maglaj was completely flooded. The ground floors of buildings were submerged buy contaminated water, destroying all the appliances and furniture within them. The water was so high that it even reached the first floor of buildings. 1600 homes are currently unavailable. The library and the ancient texts held with in it was destroyed, along with a 50% of Maglaj's 700 businesses. Maglaj's largest employer, the nitrate paper factory, employing 900 people, is currently closed.
Of course it's not just Maglaj. The story is a similar one in many towns and villages across Bosnia and Serbia. Crops have been destroyed, factories, offices and schools shut, and landslides have moved the boundaries of minefieds and taken out buildings completely.
If you would like to help and you are in the UK, we suggest donating to the British Red Cross. We also support the Bosnian charity Dobro. They are currently helping children who are victims of the floods. If you are buying our album or new live EP (just £2!) from our music page please add a donation to Dobro and will will pass it on to them.
Residency at Rich Mix – update
NEW: Our YouTube channel now features a Rich Mix Residency playlist. There's ancient brass instruments and everything – check it out!
We've absolutely loved our monthly Rich Mix nights so far, and since we've just had another extension confirmed there's plenty more to come! If you haven't made it along yet we really hope you can come for Arthur Lea's Bootleg Brass (and us of course) on April 16th. Here's a reminder of the beautiful faces and sartorial expertise you'll be missing out on if you don't:

Longer trains and more services pledged for Earlsfield Station
Updated 3:38pm Friday 13th June 2014 in News By Sophia Sleigh, Chief Reporter
Commuters should be celebrating after improvements to Earlsfield station have allowed for more services and new 10 carriage trains to be used on the line.
Improvement works, including the construction of a new booking hall, wider entrance, new staircase, lifts and walkways and additional ticket machines were approved in 2007 and completed last year.
The £8m work also included the extension of platforms two and three and from July 28, the station will be able to accommodate 10 car trains.
Operators South West Trains have also introduced two additional morning trains, departing to Waterloo, at 7.29am and 9.30am.
Tooting MP Sadiq Khan who has long been campaigning for improvements at the station, plans to hold regular meetings with the station manager to monitor how the improvmemnts are working.
Councillor Jonathan Cook, transport spokesman at Wandsworth Council, said: "We've made great progress with Earlsfield Station but there is still some way to go.
"We want to see the platform canopies extended, restored waiting rooms, more seats and a publicly available toilet.
"The introduction of longer, higher capacity trains is a long way behind schedule and we need to keep up the pressure until a full ten car services is on the tracks."

On October 26, 2012 Joseph Sidney Hall Jr. of Tulsa, Oklahoma, was arrested for allegedly assaulting the mother of his child, and holding her against her will. The victim reportedly showed visible injuries on her head, face, arms and legs, bite marks on her torso and a piece of her ear had been cut or torn off. She had broken ribs and a collapsed lung. The victim was taken to a hospital, the whereabouts of the child are not known, and Hall was booked into the county jail. When they searched him they found blood stains and clumps of the victim's hair on him, and in his pocket the missing piece of her ear.
Just to show that women as well as men can be aggressors: On October 24 in Florida, DeLeon Springs woman Denise Harris, 39, was reportedly having a calm discussion with her boyfriend, Lemuel Courson, 38, about the fact that they were being evicted, when she got mad. According to Courson, Harris picked up a burning candle and poured the hot wax on his face and hair. According to the incident report, when he ran away from her she pursued him, bit him on the jaw, shoved him and punched him in the nose. The report noted that Courson in fact "had dried wax on the side of his face which lead into his hair." Dried wax was also found on the sofa and coffee table in the living room. Harris was arrested and charged with battery.

Depo Provera (DMPA) is a reversible prescription birth control method. Each Depo Provera shot slowly releases a synthetic form of progesterone medroxyprogesterone acetate that can protect against pregnancy for a period of 11 to 14 weeks. Many women stop using Depo Provera during the first year of use due to irregular bleeding (spotting) and/or continuous bleeding, both of which are especially bothersome during the first three months of use. The good news? After continuous Depo use for one year, the depo bleeding stops for almost 50% of women.
Frustrated with Unwanted Depo Bleeding?
The most common reason women choose to stop using hormonal contraception tends to be dissatisfaction with their bleeding patterns. Women seem to be most frustrated with unscheduled bleeding and spotting. It is estimated that discontinuation of contraception may account for almost 20% of the 3.5 million unintended pregnancies that occur each year.
Unfortunately, it seems that bleeding is the number one reason that women choose to stop using this birth control method. Depo bleeding side effects can occur as your body is adjusting to Depo Provera. Many women report experiencing irregular bleeding (spotting) and/or prolonged bleeding (like a continuous period) during this time. Unfortunately, there is no way to know ahead of time if you will experience this Depo Provera side effect. For some, the depo bleeding may continue until the injection wears off (12 to 14 weeks) whereas others may not have any bleeding/spotting at all.
Is There Hope For Me?
Even though this depo bleeding could occur right after your first Depo Provera injection, according to Pfizer (the manufacturer of Depo Provera), "in clinical trials, over a third of the women had stopped having periods (this is called "amenorrhea") by month 6. By month 12, over half of the women had stopped." A good number of women may be willing to "wait it out" knowing that the frequency and duration of their depo bleeding will decrease over time. These women are willing to go through the initial bleeding in exchange for the chance of not having to have a period anymore.
OK, so good for those women… But what about the 70% of women who experience depo bleeding during the first year of use and are feeling, is there any hope for me? You may really want to continue with Depo Provera use. After all, it is highly effective (97% to 99.7%) and super convenient to only have to think about birth control 4 times a year. Plus, you would love for your Depo Provera to be the agent preventing pregnancy and not the fact that you are not having sex (= no chance for becoming pregnant) due to this annoying bleeding! It just requires patience.
Depo Bleeding Interventions
If knowing that the depo bleeding should decrease isn't cutting it for you (or if your bleeding is not decreasing), there may be some treatments available. Keep in mind though, these interventions and medications may help stop the bleeding, but there is no evidence to support the routine use of these options. Seeking such interventions may help increase your likelihood of sticking with Depo Provera (and perhaps even being happy about your decision!).
Eager to see if I could uncover some hope for all of you complaining about depo bleeding, I researched an article on UpToDate -- a trusted electronic reference used by many doctors and patients. According this excerpt from UpToDate, some treatments include:
"Supplemental estrogen -- Oral or transdermal estrogen (1.25 mg conjugated estrogens, 2 mg of micronized estradiol, or 0.1 mg estradiol patch) administered for 7 to 14 days, if there are no contraindications to exogenous estrogen administration. An estradiol-releasing vaginal ring for the first three months after initiation of DMPA has also been tried. Estrogen supplementation is thought to promote tissue repair and coagulation. It does not affect the contraceptive efficacy of DMPA.
Tranexamic acid -- Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic used primarily in patients with hemophilia during operative procedures. A randomized placebo-controlled trial of 100 DMPA users with unscheduled bleeding found that tranexamic acid 250 mg orally four times per day for five days was effective in halting bleeding. The tranexamic acid group had a significantly higher percentage of subjects in whom unscheduled bleeding stopped during the first week of treatment (88 versus 8.2 percent with placebo), and during the four-week follow-up period (68 versus 0 percent with placebo). The mean number of bleeding/spotting days was also significantly different between the groups (5.7 versus 17.5 days)."
OK, what does this mean to you, the poor woman who is bleeding on depo and is desperate for some relief?
Estrogen: one option that you can discuss with your doctor is the possibility of using hormone replacement therapy/estrogen supplementation to get some relief from your depo bleeding.
- Conjugated estrogens (Cenestin, Enjuvia, Premarin): these are a mixture of several different estrogens (estrogen salts) and are derived from synthetic sources.
- Micronized estradiol (Gynodiol, Estrace): these are bio-identical estrogens, made from plant sources that are micronized (broken down into little pieces) so it is easily absorbed and used by your body.
- Estradiol patch (Climara, Alora, Vivelle Dot, Estraderm): a transdermal skin patch that releases the estradiol and allows it to be slowly absorbed through your skin. These patches are NOT the same thing as the Ortho Evra contraceptive patch.
- Estradiol vaginal ring (Estring, Femring): a flexible ring that provides vaginal estrogen. This is NOT the same thing as the NuvaRing.
These estrogen treatments, taken for 7-14 days (the ring is used for the first three months) may provide some relief from the depo bleeding. However, research is limited and mixed about how well estrogen supplementation may work. The largest trial investigating estrogen-use indicates that ethinyl estradiol was more effective than a placebo in stopping depo bleeding, yet the bleeding started up again once the estrogen was stopped. Likewise, there has been one major study on the use of estradiol patch for depo bleeding. The results show that women using this intervention had a higher rate of continuing with Depo Provera use. At this time, due to lack of research, birth control pills are not indicated to help with depo bleeding.
The therapeutic use of estrogen may help stop depo bleeding because it encourages blood clotting and tissue repair as well as promotes fast growth of uterine lining and stabilizes blood vessels. Estrogen therapy may also be a good option because it does not compromise Depo Provera's effectiveness at preventing pregnancy. That being said, you and your doctor must weigh the therapeutic advantages of estrogen supplementation against its potential problems. Not everybody is a candidate for estrogen, and it can be dangerous to use if you have certain risk factors or are estrogen-intolerant. Also, extended use of estradiol medications may increase your risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer or uterine cancer.

In this sermon Pastor Tim Gaydos explores Luke 11:29-32, where Jesus gives a wake up call to those who refuse to believe the evidence about who He is. It's also a wake up call for Christians who believe one thing about God, but how they live reveals that they believe something else in their hearts. Jesus gives the sign that He is greater than Jonah and everyone else by revealing that he will die and be raised again.
29 When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, "This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. 30 For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

Schierholtz set to return to action
San Francisco (61-51) vs. Los Angeles (68-45), 7:15 p.m. PT
SAN FRANCISCO -- As the Giants rekindle their age-old rivalry for the first time in three months, the team's outfield entered a state of flux, with players shuffling in and out of the lineup and on and off the 15-day disabled list.Before Game 2 of their set with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday at AT&T Park, San Francisco will make a 25-man roster move to accommodate Nate Schierholtz (strained left hip), who has missed 14 games. The right fielder went 4-for-18 during his five-game rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Fresno. The return of Schierholtz coincides with the murkier status of Aaron Rowand. The center fielder (tight left hamstring) wasn't in Monday's starting lineup. He was available to pinch-hit (which he did with a groundout in the eighth inning) and play late-inning defense after sustaining the minor ailment while pursuing a fly ball in Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Reds. "He probably could play," manager Bruce Bochy said before Monday's loss. "It's not worth the risk." While Bochy added he doesn't want his players getting "overamped" in facing their divisional foe, it will be tough for the skipper to keep Rowand on the bench for Games 2 and 3. "It's frustrating, because you want to be in every moment you can, especially in this series," said Rowand, who would especially enjoy taking hacks against Dodgers Saturday starter Randy Wolf, against whom he's homered once in 15 career at-bats. Another injured outfielder, Andres Torres (strained left hamstring), could return by mid-August, leaving Eugenio Velez (red hot at the plate), Fred Lewis (lukewarm) and Randy Winn (ice cold) in the mix for playing time. Pitching matchup
SF: RHP Joe Martinez (2-0, 5.87 ERA)
Pitching in his first Giants-Dodgers game won't rattle Martinez. After enduring the skull fractures and the concussion caused by a line drive that struck him in his forehead in the season's third game, nothing should faze the 26-year-old, who won his first Major League start last Wednesday at Houston. This will be Martinez's first AT&T Park appearance since his April mishap, so expect the crowd to be solidly behind him. LAD: LHP Randy Wolf (5-6, 3.55 ERA)
Wolf told reporters after Thursday's no-decision against the Braves that he felt he had some of his best stuff of this season on the mound that night. He also said that fact made the four runs he gave up in seven innings a little bit frustrating. Wolf kept the Dodgers within striking distance of the Braves, and his seven innings gave the bullpen an easier night. In all, Wolf pitched well and was not hit hard except for a few specific instances. Wolf is 6-4 with a 3.44 ERA in his career against the Giants. Tidbits
Travis Ishikawa made his second start in three days at first base Monday. Ryan Garko had eight hits in 34 at-bats as a Giant. ... Juan Uribe (hamstring) was available off the bench Monday. ... Catching prospect Buster Posey went 2-for-4 at the plate Sunday to raise his batting average at Triple-A Fresno to .272. ... The Giants' starters had 59 quality starts entering Monday's game, the fifth-most in Major League Baseball. ... As expected, Manny Ramirez wasn't exactly welcomed with cheers when he came to the plate in Monday's series opener. Tickets

Recurrent workflow in CRM 3
From time to time a question comes up in the newsgroups how to create a workflow rule that follows some recurrent pattern. For example, just yesterday surfbluedog (not her real name) asked:
The rule needs to wait for a 6 week period from the oncreate date. This sounds pretty simple. Well during this 6 week period, 2 messages (activities) need to be sent out...
... the messages need to be sent out twice daily throughout the 6 week period.
As a word is worth 1/1000th of a picture, I've decided to create an illustrated guide on how to complete the challenge. In this example we are going to create a rule for account entity that, after an account is created, will send a message on a daily basis until the deadline.
First of all, workflow in Microsoft CRM 3 does not have a concept of looping flow control statements in any shape or form. To create a recurrent pattern we need to use a manual rule that calls itself as the last step of execution (with some conditions, of course, to stop it from looping indefinitely). [more]
Manual rule
- Start Workflow Manager and, no, you don't have to do it on the server.
- Create new manual rule for account entity called, say, Send a message:
- First of all, we need to save 6 weeks deadline somewhere to be able to use it later in a condition. Arithmetic is not the strongest feature of the CRM workflow but a call to the date/time workflow assembly included with CRM is to the rescue:
- Name action Saved Deadline
- Double-click Date and time and specify Created On as a source value:
- Double-click Days and specify static value of 42 (love it!). Sorry, no weeks allowed:
- Your assembly call should now look like this:
- Now we can check if deadline has passed and stop the workflow if it did. Click Insert Condition->Check condition. In if part click Insert Condition->Check entity condition.
- Select Saved Deadline as an entity (I knew it'll come handy!). Select <= condition and Execution Time static value as a right-hand-side:
- In then section insert Stop action. Select Complete when asked how do you want to stop your workflow.
- Since the rule is going to be called in a loop, we now need to wait 1 day until sending the next message. Select end if line, click Insert Condition->Wait for timer. Specify 1 day from now on:
- Now, the meaty part, sending the actual message. Insert Action->Send e-mail. Fill in details as required by your process, we are simply going to remind user that 6 weeks are not up yet:
- Save the rule. Yes, we want the rule to call itself but until it's saved, it's not available to be called.
- Open the rule, select the last line, click Insert Action->Run subprocess. Select Send a message subprocess.
- Your manual rule should look like this:
Jump-starting the rule
Now we are ready to automate the process to start sending
spam notifications after an account is created.
- Create another workflow rule, this time event is Create:
- This rule is a very simple one-liner: Insert Action->Run subprocess. Select Send a message subprocess. Your rule should now look like this:
We are done! Now simply activate both rules by selecting them (you can use Shift and Ctrl keys to select more than one rule) and click Activate toolbar button. As soon as new account record is created, the manual rule is going to kick in and annoy record owner with daily e-mails for 6 weeks. Which is exactly what we wanted.

NEWBURYPORT — A Newburyport couple are planning to celebrate their milestone anniversary in a really big way.
Betsy and Jonathan Woodman, who will mark 50 years of marriage this fall, have organized a free jazz concert this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at First Religious Society.
"It's a gift to the community," Betsy Woodman said. "We have really deep roots here."
"It's our opportunity to give back to the people who have given us a lot," Jonathan Woodman said.
The Woodmans, who are both 71, also want to shine the spotlight on local musicians, including drummer Les Harris Sr. and baritone saxophonist Danny Harrington, whom they describe as "institutions in this community."
Harris is a retired Berklee College of Music professor who lives in Newburyport and still teaches at West Newbury School of Music. He has performed with a number of jazz greats, including Gene Krupa, Bobby Hackett, Zoot Sims and Dinah Washington.
Harrington is a Newburyport resident who has been teaching at Berklee for 35 years. He is the former president of the Firehouse Center for the Arts, which he helped develop 22 years ago.
"We have the best of the best playing Saturday night," Betsy said. "It's not just a concert. It's a concert that's going to be memory-making."
The concert isn't the Woodmans' only gift to the community. They have made a sizable donation to the Newburyport Education Foundation in honor of Harris Sr., who will be presented with a plaque on Saturday night. The money will be earmarked for enhancements to the music program at Newburyport High School.
During Saturday's concert, Harris will be joined by both his son, Les Harris Jr., who is also a drummer and Berklee graduate, and Les Jr.'s daughter, Aubrey Harris, a 16-year-old bass player who performed with Keith Urban at last year's American Country Awards and will attend Berklee on a full scholarship next fall.

What is the origin and meaning of the word kaydol?1 answers
Question asked ( October 28, 2009 , House )
What is the meaning of the word "kaydol"? I came across this word many times, but don't know what it means and what is its origin.
Answers to : kaydol...Answer
Answered ( 4 années, 10 moiss ago by Mithilesh )
"Kaydol", is a Turkish word. As per the translation in Babylon, it means, be enrolled, be enlisted, be written, check in, enter, enter into, or sign up
You may come across this word in Turkish websites which ask you to sign in or register for some services. Take for example, when you log in to the Turkish version of windows live website (https://accountservices.passport.net/reg.srf?id=2&sl=1&lc=1055), it asks you to "Kaydol" or register yourself for an email account.
You can also find this word in Turkish version of Facebook (http://tr-tr.facebook.com/r.php). However, in US, Kaydol also refers to a brand of chemicals, such as "Kaydol 35 Mineral Oil". Please visit http://www.chemistrystore.com/Chemicals_G_R-Kaydol_35_Mineral_Oil.html to know more about the prices and you can also order for some through this website.

FIVE MINUTES: South Africa
- Daily Maverick Staff Reporter
On Thursday, the EFF have stepped up their parliamentary-insurrectionist campaign, baiting President Zuma over the upgrades to his presidential palace in Nkandla. When the smoke finally cleared, and the riot cops had holstered their Glocks, South Africa had entered the Age of Rage. In the Big House, chaos now rules. By RICHARD POPLAK.
While the Western Cape High court was hearing an application initiated by the DA for an urgent interdict to have SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng's permanent appointment set aside and for him to be suspended immediately, the Public Protector and the Communications Minister met in Pretoria and agreed to co-operate on the matter. So where does that leave the DA? Or Hlaudi? Or the SABC, for that matter? By MARIANNE THAMM.
The ANC Youth League's national task team has been quiet of late and it appears to have done little apart from disbanding just about everything. On Wednesday, the administrators of the Young Lions released a handy document that could pave the way for regeneration or degeneration. The Youth League's demolishers could yet be seen as its builders. By GREG NICOLSON.
Since being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in April last year, Dr Mario Oriani-Ambrosini has suffered immensely, and in the early hours of Saturday morning, could endure the agony no more. He took his own life, bringing to an end a colourful career. A myriad of tributes poured in, praising his life's work. But Oriani-Ambrosini was also a controversial character in South African politics, which many people prefer not to speak of now. The passage of time can purify many political legacies but it can also destroy outstanding careers. With the ageing of a generation of eminent political leaders, how will and how should they be remembered? By RANJENI MUNUSAMY.
While counsel for embattled SABC COO, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, argued that an application in the Cape High Court to have him immediately suspended was "politically opportunistic", an affidavit by Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela, warned that the decision by the SABC Board and the Communications Minister to disregard her February report "has significant implications for the workings of our democracy and the independence and effectiveness of the institution of the Public Protector." By MARIANNE THAMM.
The ANC Youth league is now just five weeks away from holding its first national congress since its formal leadership was disbanded by the ANC's National Executive Committee in March 2013. At that congress it's due to reconstitute itself, and be welcome once more into the ANC family. However, it's going to be a long hard slog for the League to try to live up to the history it has so gloriously painted for itself. And its first big test is whether the young lions are going to choose the right lion to lead their pride. By STEPHEN GROOTES.
If you are reading this, you are among the ever-smaller band of people who still read stories about Marikana in Daily Maverick. Most people prefer not to. Most people choose to think of the Marikana massacre as a terrible thing that happened to other people, a world away from their own lives. By turning away from their suffering, we perpetuate the prejudice against the people of Marikana. Just because those in power treat the people of Marikana like children of a lesser God, does not mean we should too. In the US city of Ferguson in Missouri, a state of emergency was declared this weekend as protests intensified over the killing of an unarmed teenager by a police officer. We know who Mike Brown is because his community is demanding justice. Why are WE not? By RANJENI MUNUSAMY.
On Friday President Jacob Zuma's lawyers admitted in the Supreme Court of Appeal that they were conceding the appeal by the DA for access to what has become known in our political culture as the 'Zuma Spy Tapes'. In other words, the tapes are now going to be handed over. And one can safely presume that it will be a hop, skip and a jump for them to be made public by the DA pretty quickly after that. But just this concession leads automatically to the question of why Zuma has resisted for so long the publication of these recordings. And if this really the beginning of the end of one of the "sagas" that have come to define the Zuma era. And many, many more questions. By STEPHEN GROOTES.
President Jacob Zuma had 14 days to respond to Public Protector's report on the security upgrades at his Nkandla residence. It took him 148 days to do so. Despite having an extra 134 days to read, digest and respond to the report, one would swear that neither the President nor whomever it was who wrote his response had actually read Thuli Madonsela's report. Either that, or Zuma is deliberately choosing to ignore the key findings and recommendations. Spare a thought though for the new Minister of Police Nkosinathi Nhleko, who had a blazing hot potato dropped in his lap. Nhleko must determine how much, if anything, his boss must pay back to the state. By RANJENI MUNUSAMY.
Forensic expert Dr David Klatzow has been one of the most vocal and consistent critics of South African police handling of crime scenes and evidence. Speaking on Wednesday about his new book, 'Justice Denied', Klatzow wasn't mincing his words about the quality of local forensic investigations. By REBECCA DAVIS.
The collective pain was overwhelming at the Marikana Commission on Wednesday. Two years after the killings, the relatives of the victims took the floor and spoke of good men, justice, and finding a substitute for the unique. They spoke of men with names, faces and families, what they left behind, what can't be replaced. By GREG NICOLSON.
Just days after a national newspaper exposed his academic qualifications as a lie, Pallo Jordan apologised to the ANC and to South Africa, and stepped down from his public positions. This week, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa finally appeared before the Marikana Commission of Inquiry to explain his role in events preceding the massacre of 34 mineworkers two years ago, an appearance during which 'sorry' seemed to be the hardest word for him. He still remains the most likely candidate to be the next President of South Africa. Jordan, on the other hand, is headed into the political wilderness. What does this mean for the ANC and for South Africa? By RANJENI MUNUSAMY.
12 August is World Elephant Day. In Cape Town this year, conservationists gathered to mark the day by paying tribute to the Kenyan government's burning of 12 tons of seized elephant tusks in 1989, a move which garnered attention worldwide and led to an international ivory trade ban. The "tusks" burnt by Cape Town conservationists were fake – but the message was very real. By REBECCA DAVIS.
The drama between Advocate Dali Mpofu and Cyril Ramaphosa took precedence on the Deputy President's second day of testifying at the Marikana Commission of Inquiry. Mpofu wants Ramaphosa, who has become a symbol of the violent collusion between Lonmin, the state and police, charged with murder. GREG NICOLSON reports from the Commission and wonders whether the charges will stick.
As the Oscar Pistorius trial winds to a close, a Special Assignment documentary on Sunday night was a reminder of another South African murder case involving a high-profile man which has consistently failed to win a similar degree of media attention – or outrage. When artist Zwelethu Mthethwa goes to trial in November, will we see crowds, cameras and the ANC Women's League? Or does nobody care very much when the accused is an artist – and the victim is a sex-worker? By REBECCA DAVIS.
On Monday DA leader Helen Zille released her weekly online newsletter, in which she claimed that it may no longer be possible to trust the Independent Electoral Commission and the Electoral Court. She joins several other opposition parties who have made the same claim. While part of this claim is about the conduct of IEC Chair Advocate Pansy Tlakula, it is also about the ANC. Whatever the facts, what is frightening is that we appear to be heading towards a situation where we have the ANC and the IEC on one side, and almost everyone else on the other. Which cannot be described as very good for our democracy. By STEPHEN GROOTES.
Two years ago on Monday, Lonmin workers marched on the NUM and were fired upon by union members, starting a spiral of violence that ended in the Marikana massacre. On Monday, NUM founding general secretary and current Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa testified on his role in the murky collaboration between Lonmin and politicians. The 'buffalo prince' survived, steadfast and resolute, but human after all. By GREG NICOLSON.
Residents of Ward 44 in Gugulethu have taken matters in their own hands to combat crime in the area. About 122 volunteers have signed up to do community policing work, which encompasses patrolling the area 24 hours a day, checking sewage problems and collecting rubbish material. The group has divided itself into three shifts, working around the clock from 7am. By Johnnie Isaacs for GROUNDUP.
What on earth is going on with our land reform process? Recently, South Africa has experienced another of its periodic spasms of concern about the 'land question' – this time brought about by the unveiling of a sheaf of controversial new legislation and proposals by the Minister of Land Reform and Rural Development (DRDLR 2014b). After a year or two of relative quiet, we at the Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies are once again besieged by journalists seeking comment from experts who can help them make sense of the new proposals. The experts, it has seemed, are as stumped as the rest of us – or even more so. By ANDRIES DU TOIT.
It's an absolute tragedy that in 2014, we are reading newspaper reports and listening to radio bulletins about petitions to suspend and banish a schoolboy for expressing his opinion about the bloodshed in Gaza. Even more so given our country's dark past and the price paid for our beacon of light: our proud Constitution. But since we are, ALEX ELISEEV offers his analysis.
The South African national high school debating team, currently in Bangkok for the World Debating Championships, has come under attack for expressing solidarity with the people of Gaza during the tournament's opening ceremony. The events of the past three days highlight a disturbing trend in the local Jewish community, one which every South African should be concerned about. By SAUL MUSKER.
On Sunday, the Sunday Times and City Press newspapers appeared to be competing for the best angle on a story that could suggest, again, that the very foundation of our nation state is about to be rocked. The two stories relate to what looks like a formally loving relationship between the head of enforcement at the SA Revenue Services Johann van Loggenberg, and a lawyer, Belinda Walter. Walter was not only the former head of the Fair-Trade Independent Tobacco Association, but also, according to the City Press, a member of a "rogue unit within the State Security Agency". In other words, it appears that a member of SARS was involved with someone who was part of a group of people involved in the Richard Mdluli Affair, and who were trying to discredit SARS as an agency. It really could not be more serious. By STEPHEN GROOTES.
Since 3 March 2014, "M'lady" has become a principal character in the biggest criminal trial in the country, her unflustered temperament and quiet authority bringing equilibrium to the case that became global sensation. On 11 September, the world will watch Judge Thokozile Masipa deliver judgment in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial, a massive moment for her, for the criminal justice system and the country. In commemorating National Women's Day and Women's Month, it is women like Judge Masipa who should be upheld as role models. There are many like her, who beat adversity, advance to great heights and give back to the world so that others may rise. By RANJENI MUNUSAMY.

Lost amidst all the hoops madness a little recruiting note from the football team. CRN's program got a commit yesterday. Arcadia LB Golper is a Bruin. Here is Dohn's post in which which the kid also gives props to DeWayne Walker:Arcadia High linebacker Todd Golper said his family ties, and his bond with UCLA defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker, were big reasons why he gave UCLA a non-binding oral commitment today.
His dad, John, went to UCLA law school and his brother, Brian, is a first-year at UCLA law school. Also, he played with Walker's son, Kevan, at Arcadia High last season.
"My top two schools were Stanford and UCLA,'' said Golper, who was at UCLA's Junior Day today. "I saw what I wanted to see when I was at Stanford's Junior Day last week. I was at UCLA (today) and saw the part of student life that I hadn't seen.
"UCLA seems to be the best fit for me. Overall, the football program at UCLA, the school, and they were the first school to offer a scholarship, so it all fit. And DeWayne Walker, so I couldn't ask for more." More on Golper here.
Welcome to Westwood Todd. Hope you enjoyed Pauley yesterday.

It is shocking how little talent is on this offense. Whether it is throwing, catching, blocking or running; it is all being performed at a less than Pac-10 level. If you have seen any of the other Pac-10 games this weekend, you can see clearly that other than Franklin, these kids don't play on a Pac-10 level. Why are there so may penalties? It's because they know their overmatched. Mostly it's the fact that were shockingly slow. We can't make the blocks and execute the plays. Let's face it, we have guys on schlarship that would be walk-ons at SC. If you are waiting for this group to win games in this conference, you are waiting in vain.
I'm not going to absolve the coaching in this either. Some of these guys played last year and appeared to have potential. Many (the receiving corps) seem to have actually regressed. These people aren't making junior high plays. Some have been calling out the defense. 5 turnovers = 0 offensive touchdowns. That's not a defensive issue. They are average but at least they are Pac-10 worthy.
Once again we are treated to the airshow crash, that is our once again bowl-less season. It's not entertaining, it's not progressing, and it is not winning. Maybe these guys just can't be coached up, but Neuheisel's got to know that this seasons pass expires after we get worked over in the Coliseum. Bruin Nation will not take this abuse of our athletic tradition next season. The pressure is on.

A police officer who was shot while on duty is recovering at home on Thursday night. He was wounded while responding to a suicide threat call. The shooting suspect, 21-year-old Keith McAdams, was arrested and charged with Aggravated Assault Against a Public Servant.
Around 5 p.m. A Lacy-Lakeview neighborhood became flooded with police officers, state troopers, deputies and a swat van after the officer was wounded.
You could feel the intensity as they all geared up for what could have been deadly.
"Any time where there's a call where there is a possible fire arm or a suspect that's threatening himself and anyone else the danger level get's extremely high," said Lacy-Lakeview City Manager Keith Bond.
Two officers responded to a call that a man was threatening his life on Bobcat Street. The officers approached the house but got no answer.
As one of the officers, Officer Roy Wood, headed back to the patrol car he was shot through a garage door. He was hit in the back of the upper arm and the bullet exited through his shoulder. The other officer called for help.
It was quite a scary scene for neighbors nearby.
"As soon as he opened the door the cop turned around and told him get back in the house! Get back in the house! Get back in the house you can't come outside!" explained Brandon Trent, who was on his way to see a friend in the area.
Then a swat team surrounded the house, ordering the man to come out. An hour later McAdams and another man who was inside the residence surrendered. The other man inside the home was later released.
Luckily Wood's injuries were not life threatening. He was taken to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center and was released shortly after.
"We're just very thankful that the officer is in very good condition with very minor injuries," said Bond.
