Whenever we are afraid of anything, it is important to remember that God is always in charge. Many people are afraid of thunderstorms because they are so loud and can be dangerous if we do not take cover from them, but whenever you truly understand in your heart the love that God has for you and the fact that He is in charge, even the "big, bad" thunderstorms will not make you afraid.
Why does God make thunderstorms if they can be so scary? There are probably many answers to this question, but one is that sometimes God uses thunderstorms to do good things. One example of this is when He answered the prayer of St. Scholastica by sending a thunderstorm.
St. Scholastica was a very faithful nun who loved God more than anyone or anything else. Her twin brother was St. Benedict, a very holy man who felt the same love for God that his sister had. St. Scholastica and St. Benedict were also the best of friends and loved to spend time together talking about the things of God. St. Benedict lived in a monastery and he could only visit with his sister about once a year, so St. Scholastica would come to meet her brother in a building just outside the gate of the monastery and they would talk together there.
Once when St. Scholastica went to visit St. Benedict he brought some of his students with him. After many hours of talking, it began to get dark and it was time for him and his students to go back to the monastery. It was very important that they be back on time unless there was a very good reason for them to be late, and visiting with St. Scholastica was not a good enough reason to be late! St. Benedict told his sister that he had to go back to his room, but she didn't want the visit to end. She tried to convince him not to go back just yet so that they could talk some more about their love for God, but he argued that he could not break the rule. St. Scholastica knew how important the rules of the monastery were to her brother. She also respected the rules of the monastery and she knew that there was nothing in her own power that she could do to make the visit last longer, so St. Scholastica folded her hands on the table in front of her, laid her head on her hands and prayed.
As soon as St. Scholastica finished praying and raised her head, a very powerful and raging thunderstorm appeared. There was loud thunder, flashes of lightning and a terrific downpour of rain! St. Benedict and the other men were unable to go back to the monastery! Knowing that his sister had prayed for the thunderstorm, St. Benedict said to her, "May God forgive you, sister. What have you done?" St. Scholastica said to him in reply, "I asked you and you would not listen, so I asked my God and He did listen." St. Benedict, St. Scholastica and the students spent the whole night talking as the storm raged on and they enjoyed it very much.
Three days later, St. Scholastica died, but the wonderful part is that St. Benedict was lying in his bed in his room in the monastery and he saw a vision of St. Scholastica's body and he saw her soul turn into a dove, fly out of her body and up to heaven. St. Benedict was very happy to see his sister going to heaven and he was very blessed by God that he was allowed to see it in a vision.
The Lesson of St. Scholastica and the Storm is that God sometimes uses storms to do wonderful things! For this reason, we should not be afraid of thunderstorms. Instead, we should try to think of what might be happening somewhere miles away from us where someone else is being helped by the very same storm. Remember, also, that death is nothing at all for Christians to fear because it is then that our souls, like that of St. Scholastica, will be released from us and taken to the most wonderful place of all -- the throne of God in heaven with all the angels and saints.
Dear St. Scholastica,
Watch over me during the storms of my life and ask God to give me peace in my heart whenever storms come.
Dear God,
You wanted us to know what will happen when Your followers die, so You allowed St. Benedict to see St. Scholastica's soul fly to heaven like a dove.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ.

American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance; | 1 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. |
2 that ye should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandments of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles: | 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. |
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery, walking after their own lusts, | 3 First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. |
4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. | 4 They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." |
5 For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God; | 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. |
6 by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: | 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. |
7 but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. | 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. |
8 But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. | 8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. |
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. | 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. |
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up. | 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. |
11 Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in [all] holy living and godliness, | 11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives |
12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? | 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. |
13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. | 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. |
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight. | 14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. |
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you; | 15 Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. |
16 as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. | 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. |
17 Ye therefore, beloved, knowing [these things] beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own stedfastness. | 17 Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. |
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] the glory both now and for ever. Amen. | 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. |

Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
Coles County in East Central Illinois.About Our Shelter:
County Animal Rescue & Education is a small not-for-profit county rabies control center and animal shelter that services Coles County in East Central Illinois.(I truely wish we had the ability to be a no kill shelter but since we are animal control we have limited space. We have to hold all stray dogs that come into the shelter for 7 days to give their owners a chance to claim them then they go up for adoption. Since cats multiply twice as quickly as dogs we can only hold about 80 in our facility. dogs we have 32 runs avaliable. So when we are out of space we turn to rescue groups and have a few foster famlies but their space is limited too. It is something that we do as last resort but it does happen. Reality is as of today since Jan1,2010 we have had over 300 animals come through the shelter. A lot of people don't understand how many animals we see and how cruel some people are to their pets. That is why we push for spay and neutering so much because we typically get the puppies or the adults when they are not cute and playful anymore.I could actually go on for hours about why some people have to reliquish their pets. The thing for no kill shleters which are few have to choice weither to accept the animal or not. We do not we take in all of Coles county's animals we never turn one away. We try our best everyday to find these animals a for ever home.)

There is a noticeable trend in the monthly trade balance! UK exports to China have grown over the years but the trade imbalance has widened enormously! According to former Business Secretary, Lord Mandelson UK exports to Brazil, Russia, India and China - the so-called 'Bric countries' - are lagging behind the rest of the world. The share of exports to the four BRIC nations remains persistently below our 3.7% share of world trade. Some economists point to an "export gap" worth £19.8bn with China, £3.2bn with India, and £1.8bn with both Russia and Brazil.

Strap Spanking For Bare Bottomed Teen Girlfriends
These two girls were screwing around at the Girls Boarding School. And the school doesn't take kindly to girls that do whatever the hell they like.
It is therefore decided that these girls are going to get a strap spanking across the bare bottom.
Both of them. At the same time. In each other's presence.
You know… to make this an extra humiliating spanking session.
I always like to watch spanking videos that show multiple bottoms on screen.
I can never decide where to look.
Which bottom is prettier?
They're both so full and round and… voluptuous!

Jodie Naughty Bottom Spanked With A Strap
Teen Jodie is at it again. She's been naughty once more and she will have to endure a teen spanking just as long until she starts behaving like a nice girl.
You can tell by the look on her face she's feeling a little exposed already. She knows what's coming. Her bare bottom is going to be in plain sight for the next half hour, while she can do nothing but take her spanking punishment.
She's done this before.
But is it Jodie's fault that she has such a lovely round bottom that simply begs to be spanked?
Ofcourse not!
Over the lap she goes for a bare handed bare bottomed spanking. Then she must bend over a bench and receive a strap spanking.
All through this spanking video, her teenage bottom is revealed and the redder it becomes the more interesting it gets.
Beneath Jodie's buttocks, we see her pussy lips that are constantly increasing in size. We all know Jodie secretly enjoys being given a humiliating spanking. That's probably why she keeps being naughty all the time.

Strap Spanked Teen Gets Swollen Pussy Lips
You'd think these teen girls from Girls Boarding School would learn their lesson at one point.
Some of them don't, as it turns out.
And I think I know why!
Some of these girls secretly enjoy the thrill of an older man taking control of them.
They enjoy the sheer submission and relinquishment of control when they expose their most private parts to a man.
What they want is for men to give them spanking punishment so they can feel like little girls again.
When they are made to bend over and take a strap spanking to the bare buttocks, they can't help but get incredibly turned on.
It makes their pussy lips swell.
It also makes for one of the greatest spanking videos ever!

Cane Spanking At The Girls Boarding School
View The Full Length Movie Here
This girl was privileged enough to be sent off to the Girls Boarding School, where she is trained and disciplined through extensive use of the cane.
First the girls is almost thrown over the table, her skirt is lifted and her panties are pulled down.
Her round teenage buttocks get a nice paddle spanking to start off her spanking punishment.
She is pretty much spanked to tears. And if that is not enough, her punishment is finished off with a harsh cane spanking.
I'm sure she will grow up to be a very obedient housewife.

Medical Spanking For Two Sassy Girls
These two girls, one a real teenaged, the other a teenager at heart, are here for a medical.
What they don't know, is that it's a medical spanking!
They sense a little trouble as soon as they're ordered to strip down to their underwear. But they go along with it anyway, because it's kind of exciting!
Then, the oldest 'tee' is ordered to take down her panties and sit on all fours.
Her naughty bottom is now showing, with nice thick pussy lips beneath it. I think they're already a little bit swollen up from the excitement.
And that's when the real fun starts in this medical spanking video. The girls are both given strap spankings. Hard ones, too.
They're both on all fours with their bums sticking backwards. Their pussy lips are showing between their legs.
Their buttocks take harsh spankings and their pussies are enjoying it. Who would have thought that two innocent teens would enjoy to undergo such spanking abuse in a medical environment?

Spanked To Tears At Girls Boarding School
No girl ever gets special treatment at Girls Boarding School.
That includes really pretty teen girls that were enormously popular in high school.
This poor teen had the misfortune of having rich parents that were sick and tired of her disobedience, so they shipped her off to the boarding school.
Her ideas of the world being all about her are quickly destroyed. She is given a teen spanking just like any other teen girl in the school.
While she is bent over the couch, her pants and panties are taken off and her bare bottom is exposed to the teacher.
She is quite literally spanked to tears, and not just a few. She's crying Niagara Falls.
This has to be one of the most spectacular spanking videos I have ever laid eyes upon!!!

She's a naughty girl and she's earned herself a cane spanking across her bare buttocks.

Teen Ass Strapping For Being Lazy
This naughty teen assistent has been much too lazy. This will simply not hold!
The headmaster is completely fed up with her laziness and he has decided to teach her a lesson in this spanking video which is, dare I say it, almost sadistic?
Her laughing soon ends once the strap spanking continues for longer than she can bare. That strapped little bottom is starting to look real nice with those red spots on it.
This spanking blog sees many spanked bottoms, but not all of them light up as nicely as this one does!
Kailee Robinson Spanked For Being A Very Bad Girl
Kailee Robinson was at it again at the Girls Boarding School.
God knows what she's been up to now but I'll bet my ass that it wasn't pretty!
Her teacher is fed up with her shit and he wants to give her a teen spanking so bad that he doesn't even take the effort to take down her pants.
She simply goes over the couch with her bottom way up in the air and the teacher spanks her half naked buttocks with his bare hands.
As you can see on Kailee's face, it's still hurting her plenty even though her bum is mostly covered by her mini skirt. I'm surprised she's not spanked to tears.
Afterwards Kailee Robinson just sort of walks away with her tail between her legs.
She's cute as a button this girl. Maybe even the cutest girl on the whole spanking blog.

I worked at NetApp
ProsSunnyvale has a really nice modern campus and buildings..
Standard benefits for a high-tech company in Silicon Valley, and the benefits are really over and above if you have children.
Until a few years ago, we knew we were making a difference, knew we were helping to build something great, knew we were making history. We knew we were working too hard, and being paid too little, consuming more late night pizza and cola than bears thinking about, but wow, we were really having fun. We were all empowered to take risks, to innovate, and to drive change. Managers did real work. Executive management did a fantastic job with the vision, finances, etc; and was open, honest, trustworthy. Employees were loyal, and dedicated to doing something we could be proud of, and winning. It was all incredibly satisfying.ConsEmployees are no longer empowered to innovate.
Management is making decisions for political or CYA reasons, rather than strategic reasons.
Middle managers hired from the outside by friends inside, or promoted from within to their level of incompetence.
Too many people doing little or nothing. Really good people let go in last Feb layoffs, and so many useless people retained, and still wandering around doing nothing. Incomprehensible.
Products go to market too fast. Too many bugs.
Infrastructure is falling apart, and funding to replace it is scarce or non-existent. IT seems to be exhausted (though that seems to be the case almost everywhere).
NetApp is no different from any other company now. As it matures, it is becoming fearful of change, inflexible, process heavy, hiring managers who are killing the once-extraordinary culture very rapidly, and hiring average or incompetent individual contributors who are just looking for a paycheck. Many formerly dedicated employees are becoming recruitable. There is a steady trickle out of people who cared, and when the job market gets easier, my guess is that it will be a rolling river.Advice to ManagementAdviceSlow down with the rushing to market - get stuff stable.
Review your middle management! Weed out the bozos. They are everywhere. Stop allowing their fear, personal agendas, and nepotism to rule. Set up an environment where passion and talent are valued, and watch innovation happen, all over again. Good luck.No opinion of CEO -

ProsNetApp is a great company. It has good executives, good culture, good team work, and good benefits. It also has great growth potential.
ConsMost of the management teams are good but there are also some managers that you would wish you never had. Limited career growth opportunities, limited rotation programs.
Advice to ManagementAdviceI suggest 360 degree survey. Management needs to know what people think. Also, it will be great to provide some rotation programs.

Elected officials announced last week that short-term parking is being added and regulations are being adjusted along Queens Boulevard in Sunnyside to make parking more accessible for motorists.
In a press conference on Thursday, Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D- Sunnyside), Rep. Joe Crowley (D- Bronx, Queens), state Sen. Mike Gianaris (D- Astoria) and city Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan spoke of the need for the changes as a way to help the small businesses of Sunnyside.
"We must do all we can to ensure businesses in Queens can grow and thrive," Crowley said. "Making these parking adjustments will help do just that."
Later this month, 60 muni-meter spaces underneath the 7 train will be converted from 12-hour parking to a four-hour maximum. Area residents and small business owners had long been complaining that people from outside the neighborhood were using the spaces to leave their cars before heading into Manhattan.
"Sunnyside is not just a place to park your car on the way to Manhattan," said Van Bramer. "It is a destination in and of itself, and we want those in the neighborhood, from the neighborhood, shopping at our stores, and this will allow that to happen.
In addition to the long-term parking changes, the weekday "No Standing 7 a.m. to 10 a.m." regulation on the north curb of westbound Queens Boulevard fom 48th Street to 32nd Place will be eliminated. Also, the existing two-hour muni-meter regulations will be extended, going into effect at 8 a.m. to provide more parking opportunities for motorists looking to access businesses in the area.
"These new changes are really going to make a big difference in my morning," said resident Lisa Pancir. "I used to have a hard time just running in to get a coffee, but now I won't have to worry about getting a ticket or being towed."
The DOT evaluated conditions along westbound Queens Boulevard during the morning peak hours and found that the 'no standing' regulation could be eliminated without significantly impacting traffic flow.
"We worked very hard to bring common sense parking regulations to the community," Sadik-Khan said.
Gianaris agreed. "The lifting of rush-hour parking restrictions is a common sense approach that balances traffic concerns with that of local residents and owners will welcome the additional parking spaces in their neighborhood," he said.
The economic climate in this country made these changes necessary, he said.
"To have the rules exist to make it difficult for people to stop their cars and shop is ridiculous in a time of economic turmoil," Gianaris said. "The rules of this city need to make it easy as possible for businesses to prosper."
Business owners up and down Queens Boulevard have applauded the changes.
"These issues have been around for a while, and finally changes have been made," said Kieran Smart, owner of a local pub on the north side of the boulevard.
Helping small businesses and local residents were the main reasons for the changes.
Van Bramer said that parking is the No. 1 issue for so many people who live and work and own small businesses in the area, and he hopes these changes address some of their concerns.
"With the lifting of these restrictions, we are announcing that the parking rules and regulations aren't punitive or unfair to small business owners and residents," he said. "They are meant to support local small businesses and allow local residents an equal access to parking spots in their neighborhood."
Gianaris added that the rules now exist to support the people that live in Sunnyside.
Not everyone, though, was on board with the changes. Commuters from other parts of Queens and Long Island have long used Sunnyside as a bridge to Manhattan, and with these changes, that opportunity will be diminished.
Former Sunnysider Phil Tamberine likes the flexibility driving his car gives him, but he also doesn't want to drive into the East Village for work.
"Since I moved to New Hyde Park, I've driven to Sunnyside, parked and then taken the train to Manhattan," Tamberine said. "These changes are punishing me for moving."
Despite complaints from residents and communters outside of the area, Van Bramer said the changes are about fairness.
"We can have some commuter parking, but we need to have more parking for local folks who want to shop in local businesses," he said.
The changes take effect Oct 31.

Watch Houston Make A Record-Tying 23 Three-Pointers In One Game
Golden State had a pretty good offensive night. As we mentioned in Smack, they lit it up for 62 points in the first half against Houston… and yet trailed by 15. The Houston Rockets would go on to make 23 of 40 threes, tying a NBA record. On Monday night, Orlando (the team that had previously made 23 triples in one game) had scored all of 61 points against Philly. Houston would've beaten them with only shots from beyond the arc.
What's the greatest shooting display you've ever seen?

Wish I would have found your blog several weeks ago! I've learned a lot though already, thank you. Have long-term fibromyalgia, some arthritis, and am overweight. Was told I fall into a level of firm/plush. I purchased a Miralux Splendor Plush for the comfort. However, I noticed softness in the middle only 2 weeks in and need to make a quick decision for replacement. The company I bought from is delivering a new replacement in a few days, but now I'm wondering if I should go with the Miralux Splendor Firm instead (with adding a latex topper). I'm not feeling confident to get another Miralux Splendor Plush considering what happened so far and hope I won't get stuck with a lemon as I can't afford another. Thank you much in advance.
Hi Lyn. If you only exchange it for another Miralux, then go with the firm and get a latex topper. If you have other options to choose from, find out what they are before you get the replacement.

MUMBAI: In a bid to tighten security near the city's water sources, like dams and water-treatment plants, the civic administration has floated a proposal worth Rs 26 crore to instal 105 CCTV cameras at its dams and lakes.
The Rs 26-crore project is likely to be implemented in the next two months.
CCTV cameras "of different specifications" will be imported from the US for the project, said sources. A senior civic official from the Bhandup water complex said, "We will receive the cameras by the end of the month. It will take around two months to instal all the cameras. We need to enhance the security of all dams and plant sites, especially in view of terror threats."
The sites where the CCTVs will be installed include Tansa and Vaitarna lakes and the Pise-Panjrapur water complex on the outskirts of the city. The cameras will be able to scan movement within a one-km radius.
The civic administration has already completed a pilot project in which CCTV cameras were installed at Vihar lake and the Bhandup water treatment plant. Currently, 12 CCTV cameras are installed at the Bhandup plant. While Vihar lake supplies about 120 mld of water to the city, the Bhandup plant treats inflow from all six lakes supplying water to the city. According to officials at the Bhandup complex, these cameras are either fixed at various entry and exit points and other such strategic locations or have a tilt and zoom facility.
"The CCTV cameras will help us monitor our water sources in times of terror attacks," . Our officials are continuously monitoring any activity at Vihar lake and the Bhandup complex," said senior hydraulic engineer.
Last year, the state government asked the BMC to enhance security around all water sites. The government's directive came after the arrest of alleged ISI agent Javed Mozawalla who, during questioning, revealed plans to target Koyna and other dams in the state. Following this, state home minister RR Patil sent the directive to the civic body. The state government last year decided to increase security in dams across the state, after it had held a review with senior police officials. The city receives 3,350 million liters per day (mld) from six lakes, Upper Vaitarna, Tansa, Bhatsa, Tulsi, Vihar and Modak Sagar.
Except for Vihar, all other dams are in the Thane rural region. Vihar lake is located in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park.

The granddaddy of them all, the PECOTA projections, strode onto their virtual stage today. Any time you bill your product as "deadly accurate" it invites additional scrutiny but, for many people, PECOTA is the gold standard. Whether or not it lives up to that billing, that is a matter for taller foreheads than my own.
The system is more than just spitting out slashlines based on ageing curves and the like. Adjustments are made for ballparks (both home and away) and playing time. For many people, it justifies the expense (nominal as it might be) of a full BP superscription for the year.
Enough with the passive-aggressive sales pitch, let's put these numbers to work: how to they expect the Marlins 23-year old masher, Getting Blanked raison d'etre, Giancarlo Stanton, to fare in 2013?
Unsurprisingly, one of the best young sluggers in baseball history through age-22 stands to continue slugging as only Giancarlo Stanton can. His 4.9 WARP (BP's Wins Above Replacement player metric) ranks 10th in all of baseball, with his .312 projected TAv (their linear weights based wOBA number shaped to appear more like batting average) bested only by Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, Joey Votto, Miguel Cabrera and Albert Pujols.
Stanton's slash line projects as .267/.344/.542 with 39 home runs and 30 doubles. Seems conservative but his 39 homers lead the league in PECOTA land.
Comparing his BP numbers to the others used in the previous iterations of this series, we see PECOTA skew conservative, if only slightly.
- ZiPS: .286/.367/.606, .401 wOBA, .322 BABIP, 31 2B, 3 3B, 41 HR, 6 SB, 6.4 fWAR
- CAIRO: .267/.352/.547, .382 wOBA, 30 2B, 3 3B, 35 HR, 6 SB.
- Bill James .284/.365/.605, .403 wOBA, .314 BABIP, 33 2B, 3 3B, 43 HR, 6 SB
At no point do any of the above projected stat lines look unappealing. Any one of those seasons would, or should, satisfy Giancarlo Stanton and the Marlins (should they deign to care). 35 homers is okay, 43 homers seems likely but remains incredibly difficult and rare. 40 home runs has only been eclipsed 17 times over the past 5 seasons, only four outfielders (and Adam Dunn) pulling it off.
The PECOTA projections are said to include all factors – it will be interesting to see how the lack of "protection" in the Marlins lineup impacts Stanton. The lack of "ability" in the Marlins lineup will limit his ability to rack up RBI, nearly all available evidence suggests it shouldn't change the way opposing teams pitch to the big right fielder. He was intentionally walked nine times in 2012, might that total increase with an even worse lineup behind him?
Of all the young players to watch, it is tough to imagine how much better Stanton will get. Like Keith Law stated in his top 25 under 25 column, he's pretty much as good as he's going to get now. Peaking at 23 isn't the end of the world, provided he ages normally and keeps producing at this level for the next 5-8 years. No pressure, Giancarlo. You're the entire franchise now, act accordingly.

Last chance to participate in the Brickset user survey
Posted by Huw,The survey has been running for 10 days or so and there have been 650 responses, which is absolutely excellent!
I'll be ending it tomorrow evening, so if you haven't yet had your say, please do so now.
Next week I'll be reviewing all the comments and publishing an action plan.
8 comments on this article
Action plan, yay! :)
Action Plan? Cool.
can I take it again?
Sorry, but I have not had chance to post my opinions or take the survey. Working on a large MOC and my cat just passed away 5 minutes ago, so there won't be that much posting from me for a while. But I think we should have avatars (I think their called that) and be able to view a users loose minifigure collection.
I forgot to put this in when I took the survey, but I think there should be a comics repository with the old comics like the ones from Orient Expedition and LEGO Island Xtreme Stunts
^Good idea.
^^I'm sorry for your loss.
@Thomson & Thompson, thanks. One other thing, its not really anything to do with the survey, its more a question, hows that EB review index going? I found a massive collection of Sci-fi reviews in a few posts in a topic that died years ago. Most of them are not even in the EB Sci-fi review index, let alone heer.
@Jay Kenobi ZX, great idea. They did something like that on classic pirates.com with an old pirate comic that was in a magazine years ago.
Just did it, great job this year, Huw! Thanks for everything, to all of the other staff members as well!

A local company faces up to $170,100 in fines from the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Testori Interiors, located at 107 Lawrence Paquette Industrial Drive in Champlain, was cited recently for 24 alleged violations of workplace safety and health. The citations are the result of inspections that started in March in response to an employee's complaint.
Kimberly Castillon, OSHA's Albany area director, said Testori's deficient safety protocols place its workers at grave risk of injury, including amputation and even death.
"The fact that no serious injuries resulted from these hazards is fortunate because workplace safety must be established through proactive initiative, not complacency," she said in a press release.
"The large penalties proposed in this case reflect the severity of the hazards and this employer's disregard for safety."
The most serious charge is one willful violation for failure to develop, document and use lockout and tagout procedures for controlling potentially hazardous energy when workers performed maintenance on machines, such as sanders and presses.
Maintenance activities — which include clearing debris from machines, changing router bits and sanding belts, and cleaning equipment — are necessary to prevent the unintended activation of machinery during these activities.
The willful violation carries a $63,000 fine.
The company was also cited for 16 safety violations deemed serious, including failure to properly store, transfer and label flammable liquid; provide guards on saws and sanders; train workers on the proper use of a fire extinguisher; and address electrical and confined space hazards.
Additionally, Testori was cited for six serious health violations, including failure to provide workers with adequate personal protective equipment and fit test respirators. The proposed penalties for the serious violations are $106,200.
One "other-than-serious" violation for inadequate record-keeping carries a proposed penalty of $900.
Testori Industries Division Manager Becky Nieves told the Press-Republican the firm received OSHA's packet of information last week. She declined to comment until after they have studied the allegations further.
"We have not had a chance to look at the package, let alone respond to them," she said Monday afternoon.
A willful violation is one committed with intentional, knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirements or with plain indifference to worker safety and health, the release said.
A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
And an other-than-serious violation is one that has a direct relationship to job safety and health but probably would not cause death or serious physical harm.
Testori has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to comply, meet informally with OSHA's area director or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
According to the company website, Testori Interiors expanded to Champlain in 2001 and has 20 employees.

Serendipity? Happenstance? Luck-of-the-draw? Whatever it was, when Lora Schilder, then a graduate student in a master's in counseling program, was assigned to the Colgate University Office of Admission for a required internship, she found her calling. "I loved it from the beginning," Lora recalls. "Before that, I really didn't understand that college admissions work existed as a career at all." Soon she was employed in that same office and launched in a career that has continued for the last 30 years.
In about 1980, after Lora's husband had taken a job in Utica, she accepted a position at Hamilton College. Lora stayed on the Hill until 1986, when she relocated with her family to her husband's home country of Holland. They stayed there for five years, during which time Lora worked as the Northern European representative for a consultant who assisted European students wanting to study in the U.S. When it came time for the family, which now included two young daughters, to move back to the U.S., Lora again took a position here at Hamilton.
What constitutes a typical work day for Lora depends entirely upon the time of year. It might entail sitting down to read 60 application folders — or it might mean visiting five schools in New York City. Lora finds the cyclical nature of her job very appealing. "Just when you think you can't stay another night in a hotel, it's time to go on to the next phase," she says. "There's always something new to look forward to in the process."
Lora also appreciates how people-oriented her job is. It provides opportunities for teamwork and collegiality, and she's meeting new people all the time. In particular, she says, "It's gratifying to know you're working with students and their families at this very important time for them, helping them find the right fit."
A graduate of Skidmore College, Lora feels strongly about the benefits of attending a small liberal arts college. Lora's older daughter, now living in Holland, is a Wesleyan grad, and her younger daughter is a member of the Hamilton Class of 2011. In fact, it was her daughter's matriculation at Hamilton that provided Lora with one of her most memorable experiences here. In fall 2007, as Lora put on her nametag for a Trustee Weekend luncheon, she noticed that "P'11" had been added after her name indicating that, in addition to her position as director of admission, now she was the parent of a Hamilton student!
While Lora's long interest and involvement in liberal arts education is not surprising, many of her colleagues on the Hill might be surprised to learn that she used to be a singer in a rock band. In high school and college, Lora sang with a '60s-style folk rock band. Then when she moved to this area she sang with a country rock band. Lora continued singing when she lived in Holland, that time with a more contemporary band. In recent years, Lora's put singing on hold, but from time to time she thinks about getting back to it.
When asked where she would be if she weren't at Hamilton, Lora takes a long time to answer. "That's a tough one; I have no idea really. I suppose I'd be working in higher education somewhere — or working in a piano bar," she says with a smile. "Education was always going to be the thing for me, in one form or another. I just happened to fall into admissions work, and it was a great fit."
If you haven't yet met Lora and would like to, look for her at one of the events on campus for prospective students. Ask her to share some insights and anecdotes from her years in admissions — and find out if she's lined up a singing gig yet!

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
THE LOOK Long thick curls
HOW-TO Let washed hair air-dry, then add body. To do this, you can add a couple of extensions like Katharine did, placed at the back of the head under the hair. For the top of the hair, use a three-inch round brush and do a C-motion with your wrist to create the wave. Then use two-inch Velcro rollers on the rest of your hair and spray with shaping spray. Remove rollers after at least 20 minute and finish with a second coating of spray.
INSIDER TRICK Avoid hot tools when you have extensions in your hair.

So Tadhana is off to their fried chicken reward while Galang must return back to the beach where they can bide their time until voting off the only guy of the tribe in Vytas. As long as nobody does something rash they should be fine. But who would go and do that, right? Oh crap, is Laura Boneham on this tribe? I can't keep track ever since they switched things up? Wait, she is?! Oh no. This is an All Points Bulletin. I need all units to proceed immediately to the coordinates of the Galang beach. Repeat: All units proceed immediately to the coordinates of the Galang beach. We have a tribe member in danger of going rogue. Code name: Rupert Lite. Orders are to find the target and shut her the hell up before she gets herself voted out of the game. WARNING: TARGET IS ARMED AND EXTREMELY STUPID. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. (Which is to say, tell HER to proceed with caution.)
"We decided as four girls that you're the next to go," Laura tells Vytas. ABORT! ABORT! When asked why she is telling him this information, Laura says it is so he can "have a good afternoon." "So you think that makes me want to have a good afternoon?" Vytas asks. Oh my God, the entire scene is sooooo uncomfortable, with the other three ladies avoiding any eye contact with anyone else and silently cursing up a storm under their collective horrified breath.
What makes a good alliance partner? Two things: trust and predictability. Laura just blew those two things out of the water by informing Vytas of his impending demise without consulting the group first. She wasn't trying to backstab. She wasn't trying to dictate. She wasn't trying to be malicious. But I cannot stress what a bonehead (or Boneham, as it were) move this was. You can't go popping off with information like this on a whim, as genuine and kind as that whim may have been.
Or, if you are going to pop off by saying something you shouldn't be saying, at least do it away from the tribe like Vytas, who is off telling a camera that "Females are in control but they always need one alpha male to keep around. Otherwise there's no future for the pride." See, smart move by Vytas there. Instead of pissing off the four women on his tribe, he decided to piss off the entire female population of the United States of America instead by painting them as incapable of surviving without a sturdy male presence (which, if you want to get technical, I suppose they are if they have any hopes for repopulation, but it's not like I would go and say that). But here's the thing: Those women don't vote! What will the ladies here on the island do? Will Tina switch her vote to Laura? After all, if she votes Vytas off, what will happen to the babies?!? Her grandchildren's very lives hang in the balance! THINK OF THE BABIES, DAMMIT!!!

Chicago, IL, 60611, United States
As the preferred stop for visiting heads of state, the Drake is the grande dame of Chicago hotels, with a prime location, storied history, white-glove service, and of course a distinguished guest list. The experience begins in the palatial lobby, where the ornate crystal chandeliers, soaring wood-paneled ceiling, and red upholstered walls conspire to make guests feel like royalty, especially when enjoying high tea in the gilded confines of the Palm Court. The 535 guest rooms and suites, traditionally outfitted with Regency-style furnishings, combine a scattering of antiques with crisp white bed linens. Those who are lucky enough to score rooms facing north and east have unobstructed views of the lake and Lake Michigan's Oak Street Beach.

I'm reading an e-book right now called "X events: the collapse of everything." Cheery, right?
The book, authored by John Casti, examines various doomsday scenarios for human society, ranging from super volcanos, communicable diseases, Internet meltdowns, science experiments gone awry, and so on. This book is about really bad things that could happen in realms of transportation, trade, electricity, finance, food, water and medicine.
The book cover tag line warns, after perhaps just one of these X events, "we will enter the premodern world overnight."
No more Amazon Prime, I guess. I'll finally have to learn how to grow tomatoes in the backyard.
But aside from the uncomfortable sense that one or more of such X events may actually befall society , the premise of the book has me thinking this question; what are possible X events for the fresh produce industry? What events have been - or will be - so dramatic that they single-handedly change the course of the industry?
Of course "X events" can be good as well as disastrous, but the author warned that "benevolent" X events usually take decades to unfold.
With a mission to sell books, the author did not talk about X events that will change our lives for the better. Refrigeration, computerization, the interstate highway system and breakthrough medical advances may be good, but they don't make compelling copy.
The author wrote about X events that could take society off the rails.
So then, what are the "X events" for the industry? For one thing, X events are by nature unpredictable. I was looking back at The Packer's A Century in Produce 1893-1993, a chronicle of the industry and the publication over that 100 year period.
In making its observations over the century of produce that passed, the publication observed that truck farms gave way to commercial scale mechanized production. Ice bunker railcars gave way to mechanical reefers and then trucks,. Regional based distribution of fruits and vegetable evolved to cross country marketing, and fruit auctions passed the baton to f.o.b. selling.
All of these developments could be considered small cap x events in their own right,
On one of the last pages of the 558-page publication is devoted to peek into the future. Mike Glynn, a great writer for The Packer then, worte a column titled "Anything is possible with produce's future."
Glynn accurately talked about the future trends of Electronic Data Exchange, the escalating use of technology at the farm level and throughout the distribution chain, the rise of value added produce, and brand marketing efforts to consumers. Glynn pondered whether the "wonders of biotechnology" on improved flavor, shelf life and disease resistance would take a toehold, a development that has still not occurred.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Charlie!
Facts about Charlie
- Breed: Giant Schnauzer Mix
- Color: Black - With Gray Or Silver
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Charlie's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Charlie found himself at Animal Control when his owner had to be placed in an assisted-living facility, and no family members could take him in. He is a very friendly young man who gets along with everyone. He is learning to walk on a leash, and just needs someone to teach him the basics. He is housetrained, loves children, and would make a great family member.
Other Pets at South Lake Animal League, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Charlie, a Groveland Giant Schnauzer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Giant Schnauzer for sale in Groveland, or seeking a Giant Schnauzer dog from a breeder in Groveland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Groveland already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Groveland breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Giant Schnauzer breeders who help with Giant Schnauzer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Groveland paves the way for another one to be saved.

- Would create a national health insurance exchange for individuals to buy coverage, including a government-sponsored plan similar to the one offered to federal employees.
