Stop & Search App Official Launch
LONDON, September 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
The phone app that tracks police stop-and-search incidents is set to launch 2-9-2013
The Stop & Search App is aimed at bringing more fairness and transparency to the Stop and Search procedure carried out by UK Police. It allows the public to stay up to date with what their rights are when they are Stopped and Searched and also allows them to hold the Police accountable for how Stop and Search is being used.
The free App was created by Aaron Sonson, Satwant Singh and Gregory Packowski as part of the Apps for Good course, which was run at the High Trees Development Trust in Tulse Hill, South London. The course was all about empowering young people to bring a positive social impact to their communities through the use of mobile technology.The "Upload Your Experience" feature in the app allows the user to provide feedback regarding how they feel they were treated when they were Stopped and Searched. This feedback is then uploaded with the ID number of the officer who carried out the Stop & Search and the location in which the encounter took place. Aaron Sonson, Co-founder of the app says "the public's uploaded experiences will provide a detailed picture of how Stop and Search is being used in the UK, providing a way for us to monitor and improve how the procedure is being carried out." For example, if a certain officer's badge number keeps coming up with negative experiences from the public, we will highlight this and seek answers as to why this is happening with the relevant authority." The uploaded experiences of the public will also be displayed on the Stop & Search App website, further increasing the level of transparency of the controversial procedure. The creators of the app have found their idea welcomed and supported at various talks and presentations that they have given at different community events and Secondary Schools in the London area. The Metropolitan Police were also keen to support the idea and offered to fund the development of the app; however, the offer was declined by the apps creators as they say they want to remain independent of the Police. The prototype version of the app was released in May 2012 and has already received over 3000 downloads on Blackberry phones. The official launch of the app will see it made available to download on iPhone, Android and Blackberry phones. The apps creators received a Liberty Human Rights "Close To Home" Award at the end of September 2012 and have been featured on national news streams such as The ITV Evening News and the Guardian Newspaper. To get the app go to the Stop & Search app website http://www.stopandsearch.org where you can find the links to download the app on Android, Blackberry and iPhone.

Strategy Analytics: Home 3D Printers Could Drive $70bn In Annual Global Market Revenues
BOSTON, Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Home 3D printers could eventually become an important segment in the consumer electronics market, generating an annual $70bn worldwide, according to the latest research from Strategy Analytics' Connected Home Devices (CHD) service. The report, " Home 3D Printers: Market Opportunities and Obstacles", analyses major obstacles and presents scenarios for the evolution of the home 3D printing market. It concludes that the industry will develop more slowly than some vendors expect in the early years but that demand will accelerate post-2020 as more use cases emerge, user experience improves and technologies advance. Under the report's core forecast scenario, 3D printers would eventually be owned by more than 50 percent of households in both the US and Western Europe, and global annual revenues from sales of printers and related materials would reach $10bn by 2024 and $70bn by 2030.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130207/NE56457LOGO-b )
"In spite of widespread publicity around 3D printing over the past year or so, 3D printers designed for home use are only at the beginning of their long journey towards widespread consumer adoption," says David Mercer, Principal Analyst and the report's author. "The industry must overcome a number of barriers if the long-term potential of 3D printing as a consumer market is to be realised."Amongst these barriers the report identifies two key factors: user experience and copyright issues. In spite of recent improvements the report suggests that most desktop 3D printers are still too complicated, slow and limited in applications to become mass market devices. These user experience issues are likely to be resolved over time as technologies improve but this will require vendors to devote resources to understanding the needs and attitudes of end users.

Telefon hakkında ingilizce bilgi verebilir misiniz?#2 (link)
The telephone is a telecommunications device that is used to transmit and receive electronically or digitally encoded sound (most commonly speech) between two or more people conversing. It is one of the most common household appliances in the developed world today. Most telephones operate through transmission of electric signals over a complex telephone network which allows almost any phone user to communicate with almost any other user.Basic principle
A traditional landline telephone system, also known as "plain old telephone service" (POTS), commonly handles both signaling and audio information on the same twisted pair of insulated wires: the telephone line. Although originally designed for voice communication, the system has been adapted for data communication such as Telex, Fax and Internet communication. The signaling equipment consists of a bell, beeper, light or other device to alert the user to incoming calls, and number buttons or a rotary dial to enter a telephone number for outgoing calls. A twisted pair line is preferred as it is more effective at rejecting electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk than an untwisted pair.
A calling party wishing to speak to another party will pick up the telephone's handset, thus operating a button switch or "switchhook", which puts the telephone into an active state or "off hook" by connecting the transmitter (microphone), receiver (speaker) and related audio components to the line. This circuitry has a low resistance (less than 300 Ohms) which causes DC current (48 volts, nominal) from the telephone exchange to flow through the line. The exchange detects this DC current, attaches a digit receiver circuit to the line, and sends a dial tone to indicate readiness. On a modern telephone, the calling party then presses the number buttons in a sequence corresponding to the telephone number of the called party. The buttons are connected to a tone generator that produces DTMF tones which are sent to the exchange. A rotary dial telephone employs pulse dialing, sending electrical pulses corresponding to the telephone number to the exchange. (Most exchanges are still equipped to handle pulse dialing.) Provided the called party's line is not already active or "busy", the exchange sends an intermittent ringing signal (generally over 100 volts AC) to alert the called party to an incoming call. If the called party's line is active, the exchange sends a busy signal to the calling party. However, if the called party's line is active but has call waiting installed, the exchange sends an intermittent audible tone to the called party to indicate an incoming call.
When a landline phone is inactive or "on hook", its alerting device is connected across the line through a capacitor, which prevents DC current from flowing through the line. The circuitry at the telephone exchange detects the absence of DC current flow and thus that the phone is on hook with only the alerting device electrically connected to the line. When a party initiates a call to this line, the ringing signal transmitted by the telephone exchange activates the alerting device on the line. When the called party picks up the handset, the switchhook disconnects the alerting device and connects the audio circuitry to the line. The resulting low resistance now causes DC current to flow through this line, confirming that the called phone is now active. Both phones being active and connected through the exchange, the parties may now converse as long as both phones remain off hook. When a party "hangs up", placing the handset back on the cradle or hook, DC current ceases to flow in that line, signaling the exchange to disconnect the call.
Calls to parties beyond the local exchange are carried over "trunk" lines which establish connections between exchanges. In modern telephone networks, fiber-optic cable and digital technology are often employed in such connections. Satellite technology may be used for communication over very long distances.
In most telephones, the transmitter and receiver (microphone and speaker) are located in the handset, although in a speakerphone these components may be located in the base or in a separate enclosure. Powered by the line, the transmitter produces an electric current whose voltage varies in response to the sound waves arriving at its diaphragm. The resulting current is transmitted along the telephone line to the local exchange then on to the other phone (via the local exchange or a larger network), where it passes through the coil of the receiver. The varying voltage in the coil produces a corresponding movement of the receiver's diaphragm, reproducing the sound waves present at the transmitter.
A Lineman's handset is a telephone designed for testing the telephone network, and may be attached directly to aerial lines and other infrastructure components.
Credit for inventing the electric telephone remains in dispute. As with other great inventions such as radio, television, light bulb, and computer, there were several inventors who did pioneer experimental work on voice transmission over a wire and improved on each other's ideas. Innocenzo Manzetti, Antonio Meucci, Johann Philipp Reis, Elisha Gray, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison, among others, have all been credited with pioneer work on the telephone.
A Hungarian engineer, Tivadar Puskás invented the Telephone exchange in 1876.
The early history of the telephone is a confusing morass of claim and counterclaim, which was not clarified by the huge mass of lawsuits which hoped to resolve the patent claims of individuals. The Bell and Edison patents, however, were forensically victorious and commercially decisive.
Early development
Early telephones were technically diverse. Some used a liquid transmitter, some had a metal diaphragm that induced current in an electromagnet wound around a permanent magnet, and some were "dynamic" - their diaphragm vibrated a coil of wire in the field of a permanent magnet or the coil vibrated the diaphragm. This dynamic kind survived in small numbers through the 20th century in military and maritime applications where its ability to create its own electrical power was crucial. Most, however, used the Edison/Berliner carbon transmitter, which was much louder than the other kinds, even though it required an induction coil, actually acting as an impedance matching transformer to make it compatible to the impedance of the line. The Edison patents kept the Bell monopoly viable into the 20th century, by which time the network was more important than the instrument.
Early telephones were locally powered, using either a dynamic transmitter or by the powering of a transmitter with a local battery. One of the jobs of outside plant personnel was to visit each telephone periodically to inspect the battery. During the 20th century, "common battery" operation came to dominate, powered by "talk battery" from the telephone exchange over the same wires that carried the voice signals.
Early telephones used a single wire for the subscriber's line, with ground return used to complete the circuit (as used in telegraphs). The earliest dynamic telephones also had only one opening for sound, and the user alternately listened and spoke (rather, shouted) into the same hole. Sometimes the instruments were operated in pairs at each end, making conversation more convenient but were more expensive.
At first, the benefits of an exchange were not exploited. Telephones instead were leased in pairs to the subscriber, who had to arrange telegraph contractors to construct a line between them, for example between his home and his shop. Users who wanted the ability to speak to several different locations would need to obtain and set up three or four pairs of telephones. Western Union, already using telegraph exchanges, quickly extended the principle to its telephones in New York City and San Francisco, and Bell was not slow in appreciating the potential.
Signalling began in an appropriately primitive manner. The user alerted the other end, or the exchange operator, by whistling into the transmitter. Exchange operation soon resulted in telephones being equipped with a bell, first operated over a second wire, and later over the same wire, but with a condenser (capacitor) in series with the bell coil to allow the AC ringer signal through while still blocking DC (keeping the phone "on hook"). Telephones connected to the earliest Strowger automatic exchanges had seven wires, one for the knife switch, one for each telegraph key, one for the bell, one for the push button and two for speaking.
Rural and other telephones that were not on a common battery exchange had a magneto or hand-cranked generator to produce a high voltage alternating signal to ring the bells of other telephones on the line and to alert the operator.
In the 1890s a new smaller style of telephone was introduced, packaged in three parts. The transmitter stood on a stand, known as a "candlestick" for its shape. When not in use, the receiver hung on a hook with a switch in it, known as a "switchhook." Previous telephones required the user to operate a separate switch to connect either the voice or the bell. With the new kind, the user was less likely to leave the phone "off the hook". In phones connected to magneto exchanges, the bell, induction coil, battery and magneto were in a separate "bell box." In phones connected to common battery exchanges, the bell box was installed under a desk, or other out of the way place, since it did not need a battery or magneto.
Cradle designs were also used at this time, having a handle with the receiver and transmitter attached, separate from the cradle base that housed the magneto crank and other parts. They were larger than the "candlestick" and more popular.
Disadvantages of single wire operation such as crosstalk and hum from nearby AC power wires had already led to the use of twisted pairs and, for long distance telephones, four-wire circuits. Users at the beginning of the 20th century did not place long distance calls from their own telephones but made an appointment to use a special sound proofed long distance telephone booth furnished with the latest technology.
What turned out to be the most popular and longest lasting physical style of telephone was introduced in the early 20th century, including Bell's Model 102. A carbon granule transmitter and electromagnetic receiver were united in a single molded plastic handle, which when not in use sat in a cradle in the base unit. The circuit diagram of the Model 102 shows the direct connection of the receiver to the line, while the transmitter was induction coupled, with energy supplied by a local battery. The coupling transformer, battery, and ringer were in a separate enclosure. The dial switch in the base interrupted the line current by repeatedly but very briefly disconnecting the line 1-10 times for each digit, and the hook switch (in the center of the circuit diagram) permanently disconnected the line and the transmitter battery while the handset was on the cradle.
After the 1930s, the base also enclosed the bell and induction coil, obviating the old separate bell box. Power was supplied to each subscriber line by central office batteries instead of a local battery, which required periodic service. For the next half century, the network behind the telephone became progressively larger and much more efficient, but after the dial was added the instrument itself changed little until touch tone replaced the dial in the 1960s.
Digital telephony
The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) has gradually evolved towards digital telephony which has improved the capacity and quality of the network. End-to-end analog telephone networks were first modified in the early 1960s by upgrading transmission networks with T1 carrier systems. Later technologies such as SONET and fiber optic transmission methods further advanced digital transmission. Although analog carrier systems existed, digital transmission made it possible to significantly increase the number of channels multiplexed on a single transmission medium. While today the end instrument remains analog, the analog signals reaching the aggregation point (Serving Area Interface (SAI) or the central office (CO) ) are typically converted to digital signals. Digital loop carriers (DLC) are often used, placing the digital network ever closer to the customer premises, relegating the analog local loop to legacy status.

Significant Latino-white disparities in youth mental health care access and quality exist yet little is known about Latino parents' communication with providers about youth mental health and the role of acculturation in influencing this communication. We estimated regression models to assess the association between time in the US and the number of psychosocial issues discussed with the medical assistant (MA) and doctor, adjusting for child and parent mental health and sociodemographics. Other proxies of acculturation were also investigated including measures of Spanish and English language proficiency and nativity. Parent's length of time in the US was positively associated with their communication of: their child's psychosocial problems with their child's MA, stress in their own life with their child's MA, and their child's school problems with their child's doctor. These differences were especially apparent for parents living in the US for >10 years. Parent–child language discordance, parent and child nativity were also significantly associated with communication of psychosocial problems. Greater provider and MA awareness of variation in resistance to communicating psychosocial issues could improve communication, and improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of youth mental illness.

Big Baby's drool and the play that went with it
This one time, when I was about 12 years old, I fell asleep in the car and woke up with my face firmly planted in an Olympic-sized swimming pool of drool. Even then, I don't think I drooled as much as Big Baby did last night.
But, if there was ever a play to drool about, wouldn't this be the one? Big Baby forced a Shannon Brown miss, dove on the floor after a loose ball (and almost put a crater in the court), staggered to his feet, raced downcourt and finally followed Tony Allen's ugly missed layup with an and-one that put the Celtics up seven points in the fourth quarter of a must-win playoff game. I don't know about you, but I'd say that's something to salivate over.
In fact, this play might be my favorite of the entire season. The effort required by Baby, Ray and TA epitomized Celtic pride. Plus, it's got to make you laugh that — while everyone else on the floor was hustling his ass off — Sheed lollygagged and couldn't even make it to halfcourt by the time Big Baby had made his and-one. Oh, Sheed.
So what'd you like better? The play or the drool? I take the play in a photo finish.
4 Responses to "Big Baby's drool and the play that went with it"
baby has been our mvp this series, matter of fact this entire post season. he's contributed even more than he did last year, nobody else on the celtics has been as consistent as him. rondo etc may have bigger impacts, but typically when baby doesnt play well/get minutes, we dont win.
Like or Dislike: 0 0
Rondo was a no-show last night. And actually most of this series other than Game 2.
The effort isn't there from what I can tell, when he rebounds, gives that extra effort and pushes the break he's unstoppable.
But his lack of defensive intensity, and inability to get back in transition in Game 3 is what let Derek Fisher go off. So in my mind, he's far from the MVP of the Celtics team this series.

Apparel and Armor (Revision 7276)
The apparel item catagory includes armor, mage robes, rings, amulets and other garments and jewelry. for a list of apparel items excluding basic armor listed below, refer to the Apparel Database.
Armor gives the wearer protection by increasing his or her armor rating. The armor rating determines the amount of damage the player takes from an enemy attack. The higher the rating, the higher the damage reduction. The max armor rating is 85, even if a shield adds up to more.
Common pieces of armor can be found throughout the world, but they can be made as well through Smithing. Special armor are crafted entirely from high-level smithies. At the high-end, Light Armor and Heavy Armor offer nearly the same level of protection, barring the weight differences.
Types of Armor

But when a mysterious package mistakenly arrives at Kumar's door on Christmas Eve, his attempt to redirect it to Harold's house ends with the "high grade" contents-and Harold's father-in-law's prize Christmas tree- going up in smoke.

December 21, 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Work has begun toward the demolition of Stokely Athletics Center, the former home floor of the Tennessee men's and women's basketball program.
University officials announced Thursday that workers had started removing asbestos from the interior of Stokely and had begun preliminary demolition work on the upper floors of the Gibbs Hall dormitory. Once asbestos removal is complete, both buildings will be demolished. The demolition should be complete by this summer.
Plans call for a 1,000-space parking garage, a 33,000-square-foot residence hall and an expansion of football practice fields to fill the space left by Stokely and Gibbs.
The Stokely Athletics Center opened in 1958 and closed in December 2012. The Tennessee men's basketball team played at Stokely from 1959-87, and the women's team played there from 1976-87.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Comfort Suites Turks & Caicos Islands Hotel
Comfort Suites Fit the Billfrom homec
nice island shame about the hotelfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Lets start with the staff the reception staff are very good at playing deaf and blind and if that doesn't get rid of you they just walk away out back untill you go.
The rooms are cleaned daily although the bottom sheets are too small for the matress and the air conditioning leaks and will pool on the floor making it very slippery. Nice shower with plenty of hot water.
The pool is big enough with a separate kids pool and stairs to the shallow end and plenty of sunloungers but will over 90 degree heat no shade or umbrella's. Plenty of free daily clean beach towels.
The complementary breakfast is minimal very minimal. Opposite the small Ports of call shopping area with a few places to eat and several gift shops, just don't expect any bargains, for a smile go to Mama's she takes your money with a laugh.
Comfort Suites is a no frills accomadation,if your looking for nice food and entertainment go to the bigger hotels
roach hotelfrom felland77
*hotel staff is very rude and will not answer any simple question (for example what gas station takes credit cards)they just don't care and roll thier eyes at you.
*Our room had roaches..saw 3 in first hour in room.
*the a/c breaks down all the time.. when you check in they give you a letter stating what to do for the a/c not to stop...but no matter what you do at 3 am no more a/c and you sleep in 90 degree heat. You would think they would fix the a/c units but they do not and say sorry the letter stated our units will stop if a/c is run to long. (we did not even turn our a/c on untill 8pm and at 3 am no a/c untill it started back at 8am.
*pool is very small and full of little kids..not a place to relax.
*if you stay at this hotel you have no shade options if you go to the beach. the hotel does not have beach chairs or shade umbrellas.
the only thing good about the hotel is the price but spend a little more and stay at a hotel that has beach chairs,umbrellas,no bugs and most of all working A/C.
Terrible Hotelfrom tbakas
At this time I took out their 100% guarantee pledge card that was left in my room and asked if this meant anything or is it just for appearances because I was not happy and according to their pledge they were supposed to rectify any problems but would not.
The hotel was not up to our standards and the pool was filthy with leaves and tissues!. We have photos of this. The bar was full of loud local taxi drivers at all hours of the day. Forget about having a quiet drink there. We were so disgusted we checked out early and went across the street to the Ocean Club West and were welcomed by courteous and polite staff that were happy to get our business. What a difference! If you've never been to a clean decent hotel before you probably won't mind this place, but we will never stay there again and will not reccomend this hotel to anyone. I think I've sworn off Choice hotels as they haven't even answered my email.
If anyone wants more info on the hotels/restaurants/gecko/etc please email. Beach was BEAUTIFUL, food was mostly delicious, and we saw Jo-Jo the dolphin so it was a great trip...once we got the hell out of the Comfort Suites!
Never Againfrom mdgmd2b
first timer - awesome!from onthebeach
The beach entrance is directly out the front of Hotel and only a 3 min walk. Beautiful GraceBay is shallow with great snorkling especially at Smiths Reef.

Top Local Tips for Providenciales
Tips Bring Bug spray for at night. Mosquitos - not bad, just to have. Expensive. Buy some drinks and put in your fridge. Cabs were anywhere between 5-10 per person to go anywhere, but it was fine. Shopping was okay, Mamas has cute t-shirts. Awesome bars were Calico Jacks, Jimmys Dive Bar, Comfort Suites Bar, Hemmingways.
TCI - Tourist Center If you have any problems on your trip stop by the tourist center. It is located next to the police station. They saved my vacation from being a total disaster.
go if you can afford to stay in high riced resorts expensive hotels may have more attentive staff, eating out is expensive, not much night life, most people are not friendly as others in the carribean- taxi drivers, wait staff, etc.- this is an island that has not yet learned how to treat tourists. the beach is the best attraction!

I always remember Mount Pain favourably because I really like the music. The mountain of teleporting Lost Souls made for a nice visual when I was younger too... But it is a crap map, as are a surprisingly large number of Evilution maps IIRC.

I am very happy to say I lost 1#. I was fairly sure I wouldn't have a gain and if I did it would be a small one.So losing 1# is a great way to start the day after Thanksgiving.
Since I made smaller portions all the leftovers except for turkey are gone and no temptation. When I finish here I will strip all the meat off turkey and get it packaged for freezer. I will throw all of the carcass in a pot and make broth for soups. Even tho it has been cooked it still makes a good broth. I don't waste any of turkey. And as I said the turkey will come out at our christmas party for small sandwiches. Saves me trying to think up what to have.
Later today hubby will drag out Christmas stuff so grand daughter can get to stuff tomorrow. It will be nice to have her around for the weekend. She is so good here and a normal teen to her mother.Which those of you will understand what I mean. Most of my grey hairs come from her mother and her mothers siblings.That is why I always say I will not dye my hair because I earned everyone of these grey hairs.LOL
Well I better get busy.I have to do turkey ,make up my meds which takes a long time and start on Christmas cards etc.
It is a beautiful day outside today
Lunch turned out great and I only had one helping of everything.Some were small helpings. The oyster dressing was yucky but I always wanted to make it.Now I know.I love oysters but not in dressing.I only had one bite of it.The other dressing was good but it wasn't cornbread dressing but I ate it. Decided to make gravy from pan drippings. The turkey was moist and falling a part. made all sides much smaller than I use to. Candy yams were just one small can and I only took a small taste. Made it mostly for hubby. Also only took a heaping tablespoon of mashed potatos. Those were also for hubby. I have no idea of calorie count, But know it is half what I would have usually had. The gravy was worse as it was only salty side which I don't know why. I used just a little on turkey with spices.But I did use some garlic powder so all in all I guess thats where salt came from. I used extra milk to cut the salt. But everything was good and I didn't stuff myself senseless. I also had fresh sliced tomatoes which helped to fill me up and not eat so much of other stuff. We will eat it again tonight and then I will wrap the meat and freeze it.I may leave some as hubby loves turkey sandwiches. Any leftover gravy will be thrown away. There isn't a lot of sides left so I should be ok.
Thanks you for all the goodies and the well wishes.My buddies are the best and you know who you are. Wait a minute.Here are some of my buddies who support me so much Hallucinating,Fiestymama,Vegefarmer,Rozie,Mdmnina,Dory@50,Rainspot,Kyann402,Sherye. You guys are the best . And to all the others who I am getting to know.I hope I didn't miss anyone. Ok It is now nap time.LOL
I was up early this morning to stuff turkey and get it going.And getting up early is not something I do. But the kitchen smells so good right now. I made the 2 stuffing's last night.The oyster dressing will have to be baked when I bake the green bean casserole and yams. I did taste test of both by cooking small amount in microwave.Both are good and oyster not quite as good as I thought it would be.The one in turkey will taste different as it will get juices from turkey. Will make hubby some mashed potatoes as he loves them. I took my piece of fruitcake out of freezer for my desert..
The best part is the scale was down this morning so if I can keep from pigging out too much I won't have a gain tomorrow
The kids have all started calling and we will be hearing from them all during the day.
It is a beautiful day today.
Hubby rented some movies for us to watch later. The Traveling pants 2 for me and Hancock for us both. I may start on Christmas cards later.I don't want to mail them before Dec but Monday will work.
Just checked the turkey and it will be done in about an hour.Boy does it smell great when I lifted the foil to check it.
Bill just said the newspaper is full of advertisements. Some stores are opening at 4 am tomorrow. It will be a mad house. Glad I won't be out. They do have some good deals and probably even more this year.A lot of people have cut way back on buying.
I think my grandkids will be a little disappointed as usually all the Aunts and Uncles buy for kids but several can't this year. Will be a good lesson for them tho.
Hope all have a wonderful day today.
Bill and I will just be relaxing and enjoying spending time together.
It was a little cool this morning but it is already warming up.
The turkey is out of the freezer and in refrigerator. It will be a long weekend for hubby and he is looking forward to it.
He brought me home 2 boxes of christmas cards last night and was so proud that he had snowmen like I asked.I hated to burst his bubble but they were different ones and not all the same.But I had 5 boxes from last year that are the same. Sometimes I use the same card and sometimes I use different ones and sometimes I make my own. I send so many that making them myself is too much. So it depends what design i like each year. I have most of my labels made.I am just waiting for a few addresses from spark members who also like christmas cards. My email address is on my spark page if you would like a card. I love to see them all hanging at christmas.
This is first year in many that I am cooking.because of health I stopped a few years ago.It was too much to cook for my large and expanding family.We have been going to different children's houses. But I didn't want to this year so I decided I would cook for us. Not cooking as much as if I cook too much I will eat it. So making small portions of some things.Bill picked up a one slice of pie already for him and I have a piece of fruitcake in freezer and that is all the sweets we will have.Am fixing him a small dish of yams. I am going to make me a small portion of oyster dressing which I have always wanted to make.I may not like it but we will see. I am probably repeating a previous blog here but you know how old farts all.We repeat ourselves a lot.LOL.
But I am looking forward to the weekend.My precious grand daughter Brianna is coming Sat morning and staying overnight to put Christmas decorations up.She is such a sweetheart. She called us last night to tell us her soccer team finally won and she made one of points. This is a big deal as last year when she played she did that girlie thing of being afraid of getting hit with ball. She is actually doing good this time.
Oh I just remembered. My hubby use to play a board game with me on Sat nights as I like to play and I did my wifely thing and made him feel quilty if he didn't .Not really.Only joking. ( I have been told by many that I have a weird sense of humor. (It was very funny when my heart doc told my husband that) We haven't played in months as I started a game night with my daughter Angel and Grand daughter Brianna when they came to clean.I would fix supper and then they would stay and play dominos. It was our together time and they were not allowed to argue with each other during this time. Grandma's rule. But things have been so busy for Angel we haven't done it in awhile. So I think hubby felt sorry for me and he got out card table last night and gave me my choice. That was sweet of him as it is not his favorite thing.So we played Upwords which is like scrabble. I always win but he was a good sport.Even when I told him the key to playing game was having the ability to spell. He agreed and just laughed.We always tease each other and laugh together a lot.Something else I am very thankful for. I plan on writing down all I am thankful for either today or tomorrow. It helps to see it in black and white.But everyone that knows my husband knows how good he is to me. I am known for bragging about him all the time.My daughters that are not married say it is his fault as they can't find anyone as good as him. Pretty good compliment for step daughters to say.But then they consider themselves his daughters. We don't use the word step for any of our kids or grandkids.
Well I have bored everyone enough for today. Have a good day.
I am glad some of you said you liked my ramblings as I sure have today.
Today started out dreary but sun is now shining. I did terrible with night eating last night . Oh well I have another chance to get it right tonight.
I really can't think of anything to say. maybe later I will ramble a little.
Hubby did pick up a stool that has a seat that turns for me to use in kitchen. I can't stand long so I do my cooking sitting. He will have to shorten the legs but it will be nice to just turn in seat instead of getting up and then sitting back down. I tried a computer chair and that was a disaster. I fell while going to sit down and hip still hurts..So hubby will not let me have anything with wheels in there.

Johan Santana
Johan Santana is struggling since his no-hitter
Jun 14, 2012, 6:13 PM EST
Did the 134 pitches take a toll? After getting lit up by the Yankees last week, Johan Santana gave up four runs in five-plus innings Thursday versus the Rays in his second start since his no-hitter. The 134 pitches Santana threw in shutting down the Cardinals were a career high for the left-hander, who was…
The Mets are appealing a scoring decision to try to get R.A. Dickey a no-hitter. They will lose.
Jun 14, 2012, 9:19 AM EST
Lost in the Matt Cain perfect game drama last night was the fact that R.A. Dickey nearly threw a no-hitter of his own. The only blemish: a first inning infield single by B.J. Upton. It was a slow-rolling grounder that Wright tried to barehand and couldn't. The Mets, however, are trying to get that single changed…
Lack of instant replay looms big in another no-hitter
Jun 9, 2012, 1:28 AM EST
Just like in Johan Santana's no-hitter exactly a week ago, a close play that could have been overturned by replay loomed large in Seattle's combined no-hitter against the Dodgers on Friday night. Dee Gordon, maybe the National League's fastest player, led off the bottom of the ninth with a broken-bat flare to shortstop against Tom…
Johan Santana gets pounded in first start after no-no
Jun 8, 2012, 10:13 PM EST
Someone did in fact flirt with a no-no in the Bronx tonight, but it wasn't Johan Santana after he threw 134 pitches last week in the first no-hitter in Mets history. Hiroki Kuroda held the Mets hitless for 5 2/3 innings Friday in the Yankees' 9-1 victory. Santana, who had thrown back-to-back shutouts against the…
Johan Santana is an underdog for no-hitter follow-up start
Jun 8, 2012, 1:18 PM EST
When Johan Santana takes the mound tonight for his no-hitter follow-up start he'll be coming off back-to-back complete-game shutouts and working on two extra days of rest without a limited pitch count. And he'll also be an underdog on the road against the Yankees and Hiroki Kuroda. Las Vegas has set the Yankees as -145…
No pitch count for Johan Santana against the Yankees tonight
Jun 8, 2012, 10:30 AM EST
Johan Santana, a year removed from major shoulder surgery, hit his all-time high in pitches last week while no-hitting the Cardinals. While he was given a couple of extra days of rest in the wake of that, he will not be on a lower-than-normal pitch count tonight, says Terry Collins. Biggest reason: the team was…
You can buy a reprint of the Johan Santana no-hitter ticket from the Mets for $50
Jun 7, 2012, 4:00 PM EST
This morning we noted that there was a brisk market for unused tickets for last week's Johan Santana no-hitter, and that they were getting pretty expensive. Over $100 in some cases. Today the Mets announced that they're selling reprints for $50: Your ticket there. And if you don't like the ticket you can buy all…
Tickets for Johan Santana's no-hitter are selling for more than future Mets game tickets
Jun 7, 2012, 8:53 AM EST
Ever since the Marlins did that thing where they sold the un-sold tickets to Roy Halladay's no-hitter a couple of years ago, there has been a market for such beasts following historic events. Maybe there was before, actually, but that's when we really started hearing about it. I dunno. But whatever the case, people are…
Jarrod Parker's no-hit bid broken up in the eighth inning
Jun 5, 2012, 12:28 AM EST
UPDATE: Parker is done after eight shutout innings. He gave up just the one hit while throwing 69 out of 111 pitches for strikes and now owns a 2.40 ERA over his first eight starts with Oakland. If everything pans out the way the A's hope, he'll have many more chances at a no-no in…
The fan who rushed the field after Santana's no-hitter missed his son's first birthday party
Jun 4, 2012, 3:30 PM EST
D.J. wrote on Saturday morning about the jersey-wearing Mets fan who rushed the field after Johan Santana's no-hitter and joined in the on-field celebration until security figured out that it was not, in fact, the ghost of Cary Carter, wearing jorts, coming back to revel in the historic accomplishment. As that went to press, we…
Johan Santana's no-hitter encore: Friday vs. the Yankees
Jun 4, 2012, 2:48 PM EST
Johan Santana threw a career-high 134 pitches in his no-hitter Friday night and the Mets decided to push back his next turn in the rotation to allow for extra rest, so his follow-up performance will come Friday against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Santana has given no indication that his surgically repaired shoulder feels worn…
Print media flame war: the St. Louis Post-Dispatch vs. the New York Daily News
Jun 3, 2012, 4:30 PM EST
After nearly a decade of hearing about the lack of civility in modern online media, allow me to be the first to chant "one of us … one of us … we accept you" at the folks behind the fun dustup between the New York Daily News and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch over Johan Santana's…
Day after no-hitter, R.A. Dickey settles for shutout
Jun 2, 2012, 7:23 PM EST
R.A. Dickey couldn't match Johan Santana's feat on Saturday, but he did give the Mets back-to-back shutouts for the second time in eight days. Dickey pitched a seven-hitter for his third career shutout as the Mets topped the Cardinals 5-0 on Saturday. He's won six straight and is now tied for the major league lead…
Johan Santana expected to get some extra rest before his next start
Jun 2, 2012, 5:45 PM EST
Johan Santana is feeling fine one day removed from throwing a career-high 134 pitches in last night's historic no-hitter against the Cardinals, but he's expected to get some extra rest before his next start. No official announcement from the team yet, but Bob Klapisch of the Bergen Record reports that the Mets will add rehabbing…
Ramon Ramirez apparently hurt himself while celebrating Johan Santana's no-hitter
Jun 2, 2012, 4:00 PM EST
UPDATE: Adam Rubin of ESPN New York was told by two people that it was Ramon Ramirez, not Elvin Ramirez, who got hurt in the no-hitter celebration. Sounds like Joel Sherman's source mixed up his Ramirezes. 3:02 PM: Mike Baxter wasn't the only casualty in Johan Santana's no-hitter last night. Apparently the newest member of…
Fan crashes Johan Santana's no-hitter celebration
Jun 2, 2012, 10:25 AM EST
There were so many things to talk about in the aftermath of Johan Santana's no-hitter that this one flew under the radar a bit. Still, it's pretty entertaining. After Santana struck out Cardinals' third baseman David Freese to complete the no-hitter, he was mobbed on the mound by teammates and coaches. But there was also…
What they're saying about Johan Santana's no-hitter
Jun 2, 2012, 9:43 AM EST
No, it wasn't a dream. Johan Santana made a little history last night by tossing the first Mets' no-hitter as part of an 8-0 win over the Cardinals. Here's some reaction from around the baseball world: R.A. Dickey, via New York Newsday: "We're all talking about it," referencing Mets manager Terry Collins. "What's he going…
Foul ball? Johan Santana caught a break in his no-hit bid
Jun 2, 2012, 8:31 AM EST
Let's be clear about something at the outset: this is not the bizarro Armando Galarraga/Jim Joyce play. This is not an egregiously bad call that should have anyone renting one's garments nor gnashing one's teeth. But it is inescapable: Johan Santana caught a lucky break on a missed call in the sixth inning of last…
Johan Santana's no-hitter is the latest step on his road to redemption
Jun 1, 2012, 10:41 PM EST
When the Mets acquired Johan Santana from the Twins in February of 2008 and signed him to a six-year, $137.5 million contract, he was supposed to be the piece that would bring the team back to the postseason. Things haven't exactly worked out that way, as the Mets narrowly missed the playoffs in 2008 and…
Johan Santana put Terry Collins in a tight spot
