Game: Super Mario World
Song: Sub Castle BGM
Composer: Koji Kondo
Above: Sub Castle BGM from Super Mario World
In Super Mario World, the music definitely sets the tone for each level, whether it's a playful and quick romp with Mario's cape or a quiet tiptoe through an echoing cave. Today we celebrate a recurring track that should get credit as the primary factor in making each koopaling's sub-castle so tense and foreboding. The sub-castle levels were some of the most memorable in SMW, and this BGM is what triggers all that nostalgia.
While this is a great track on its own, I also picked it as an excuse to draw attention to one of my favorite Overclocked remixes of all time, "Monstrous Turtles!" by zircon, which draws from both the Sub Castle BGM and Map 5 (Forest of Illusion) tracks from Super Mario World.
Above: Monstrous Turtles! by zircon. Download it here
Zircon is a maniac, and this remix is incredible because it brings out the best parts in the original track while still asserting its own style - it complements the original without overpowering it. I'd definitely recommend checking out his other remixes too if you like this one.
When you hear this song, which sub-castle does it bring to mind first? It's hard not to think of punching koopas as you climb across the grates in Iggy's castle, but Lemmy's castle in Vanilla Dome with those teleporting magicians is a close second. Which koopaling's castle was your favorite?

Far too often we think that financial advisors are only responsible for managing their clients' assets. However, in many ways financial advisors act as their clients' "financial life coaches," helping them improve and maintain their overall financial health. In other words, advisors not only try to maximize the return on their clients' investments and make sure that where they invest aligns with their clients' values, but they also help their clients manage their credit and debt because the better their clients are at doing that, the more likely it is that they will achieve their financial goals. Credit rules our economy and today, unfortunately, we are all feeling the effects of what happens when borrowing, by consumers and governments alike, is not contained. Fortunately, this is where an advisor can really help ensure that your financial life doesn't go down the drain. For example, before an advisor undertakes any kind of asset management or financial planning on your behalf, they will examine your total financial picture to develop an exact accounting of your current use of credit and your projected future credit needs. This analysis will help you understand how far you can and should extend yourself financially so that you don't take on more debt than you can handle.

Your advisor will also explain that getting into debt is not always a bad thing and that whether debt is "good" or "bad" depends on its nature. For example, he or she will encourage you to avoid unsecured debt as much as possible, to limit the number of credit cards you have, and to always pay off your card balances immediately—before interest begins to accumulate. (An exception would be if you had to use a credit card to cover an expensive emergency that you had no other way of paying for.) At the same time, depending on your financial situation, your advisor may encourage you to take on specific kinds of debt—a mortgage, for example. A mortgage is generally considered "good" debt because it helps you become a homeowner and is backed by brick and mortar.

If you are struggling to keep up with your financial obligations, or if you just can't seem to save, your advisor will help you get out of debt and do a better job of managing your spending and use of credit. For example, they can suggest ways to reduce your spending, help you understand how you are using credit now and how you should be using it, and will generally help you improve and sustain your financial well being.
The bottom line: A financial advisor's assistance and advice is invaluable. An advisor will not only help you develop a sound investment plan to finance your retirement, your children's college educations and other costly expenses, but they will also show you how to use credit wisely so that it is a positive force in your financial life—a force that helps you achieve your short-term and long-term financial goals.

Comcast Adds Warner Bros. to Digital HD Offerings
Comcast has inked a new deal with Warner Bros. and will now sell the studio's titles through the Xfinity On Demand digital store.
Xfinity TV customers will be able to purchase Warner Bros. movies and TV shows, including blockbusters like "Gravity," "Argo" and "The Great Gatsby." Many titles will be available weeks before their DVD release. Xfinity On Demand Digital Store's offerings already include films and TV shows from Fox, Lionsgate and NBCUniversal.
"Our Xfinity On Demand platform provides customers with the most current content, where and when they want it, and the incredible success of our digital store and cloud-based digital locker will only continue to grow as we expand the platform," said Michael Schreiber, senior VP of content acquisition at Comcast.
In November, Comcast became the first U.S. pay-television provider to sell Digital HD content for its customers to download and stream. Comcast was subsequently named the nation's top digital seller of "Despicable Me 2" for the week ending Dec. 3.
Content purchased through the VOD service is stored in the cloud locker and can be viewed on a TV, PC or mobile device.

I always had an outdoor herb garden in Ohio. Up til now, I've put off having one here in Florida. I'm ready now but have no idea as to what to plant when. I live in the sandhills so I know I'll have to amend the soil. I want many culinary herbs as well as ones for teas. I have almost 2 acres so no problem with room. Is it best to do herbs in a raised garden using blocks or wood to keep them in bounds or is it better to plant directly in the ground? Which ones do I harvest in the summer, which in the winter? Finally, I plant for butterflies and hummers and I know the parsley and dill will get eaten by the caterpillars, how do I protect some so that I have some to eat? Sorry for so many questions, but I would love some ideas. Thanks! Rhonda |
Follow-Up Postings:
If your soil is well drained, then it's far better to plant in the ground, amending the soil as needed. And having lived in locations of deeply sandy soil, it's easy to grow a garden! So! Regarding the other questions....have you visited your local Extension office or explored the extensive website? The UF Extension website is an excellent place to download all kinds of gardening publications, including a Florida Vegetable Guide. You'll find the answers to what and when to plant. They also have herb gardening information as well as butterfly gardening halp. Of course, you can learn from the website about how, why, and when to take soil tests. UF does the analysis in their labs. |
I would buy transplants now for your garden unless it is quite warm there on a regular basis. I never had a caterpillar eat my parsley plant. Rosemary is a great perennial for soups. I plant thyme, chives, basil and holy basil. The basils are annuals that prefer hot weather to grow and they go to flower quickly. I cut my flowers off weekly. I do leave a few to attract honey bees and butterflies and for seeds for next years plants. |
Thanks for all the great info. I will definitely check with UF's extension office as well as Levy County's. I already grow a few herbs but they are in my butterfly/hummingbird gardens: bee blam, parsley and dill. I am going to plant some for me now :) I will definitely be planting directly in the ground,thanks Rhizo. Zackey, I do have a long enough growing season to start from seed but I'm impatient so I'll probably grow most from transplants:) I'll post pics this spring when I get it started. Thanks! |

Teenager washed away as fierce seas lash Spain
Published on Feb 3, 2014 7:05 AM
MADRID (AFP) - A teenager was swept out to sea as fierce storm surges hit northern Spain on Sunday, authorities said, with waves reportedly as much as 10m high.
"A minor was carried away by the sea on the Rapadoira breakwater in Foz," a town on the coast of the northwestern Galicia region, the national coastguard said in a message on Twitter.
Coastguards and police were searching for him, it added.
Spanish news agencies said the boy was aged 15 and was swept away as he was cycling along the waterfront with a friend who escaped.

The bits lock in securely and are removed without having to use excessive force. The ratcheting system goes clockwise, counter clockwise or locks neutral and does so with ease.

We are maintaining our Neutral recommendation on AstraZeneca ( AZN ) with a target price of $49.00. The stock carries a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold rating) in the short run. AstraZeneca performed disappointingly in the second quarter of 2012. The company's second quarter 2012 earnings were down 6% year over year at constant exchange rates (CER) to $1.53 per American Depositary Share (ADS). Lower revenues (down 18% at CER) negatively impacted earnings during the quarter. The generic competition that AstraZeneca is currently facing or expects to face for its various drugs has put significant pressure on the company. Generic competition was primarily responsible for the $2 billion loss of revenues in 2011. The genericization of key products will make it challenging for the company to drive the top line. In addition to generic threats, AstraZeneca's products already face intense competition from big companies. AstraZeneca's lead drug, Crestor (cholesterol management), primarily competes with Merck 's ( MRK ) Zocor/Vytorin. With the entry of generic versions of Lipitor in November 2011, Crestor may find it challenging to grow market share. Nexium primarily competes with Pfizer 's ( PFE ) Protonix. Loss of market share due to intense competition will severely impact AstraZeneca's top line. AstraZeneca is laying emphasis on bolstering its pipeline through acquisitions and deals to counter the generic threat. In June 2012, AstraZeneca acquired Ardea Biosciences, thereby adding gout candidate lesinurad to its pipeline. In addition to acquisitions, the company is targeting co-development deals. AstraZeneca inked a deal with Pfizer in August 2012 for the marketing of an over the counter (OTC) version of AstraZeneca's Nexium (gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcers). AstraZeneca will continue marketing the prescription product and also supply the OTC product to Pfizer. Subsequently, AstraZeneca raised its 2012 earnings guidance. AstraZeneca now expects 2012 adjusted earnings in the range of $6.00 - $6.30 (previous guidance: $5.85 - $6.15) per ADS. The guidance was raised as AstraZeneca expects to recognize $250 million as upfront payment from Pfizer for the Nexium OTC deal as other income in 2012. This will boost its balance sheet. AstraZeneca is also focusing on emerging markets. Revenues from emerging markets climbed 10% year over year to $5.8 billion in 2011. Emerging markets represent significant commercial opportunities with factors like pricing pressure in the EU and intensifying generic competition affecting sales in large pharmaceutical markets. AstraZeneca strengthened its presence in the promising Chinese market with its global biologics division MedImmune joining forces with WuXi AppTech, a subsidiary of China-based WuXi PharmaTech Inc. (WX), to develop and commercialize MEDI5117 in the country. MEDI5117 is being developed for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. In view of the challenges facing AstraZeneca, we see limited upside from current levels.

I'm a lurker from other forums, but my searches for info have led me here. I have many wild cyclamen in my current garden. I am moving in June (the hottest, dryest June you can imagine)and the new owners of my house will pour concrete over and wipe out my ten year old garden within weeks of moving in. I'd like to save as many wild cyclamen _ and everything else - as possible, so my question is how? How to dig perfectly happy, wild cyclamen and take them with me? Perfectly happy wild anemone, too, BTW. My ground is still somewhat moist from our winter rains, but after, say, Easter, there will be no more rain till Oct. I know now is the time, but I need advice on the particulars. Many thanks.........Batya |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have no experience with this, but my advice (for what it's worth) is to take as much of the rootball as possible (dig as deep and wide as reasonably possible) and keep well shaded while they become established. Watch the soil moisture level carefully, and don't let them get too dry. |
- Posted by rinomanfroni z8a (My Page) on Tue, May 31, 11 at 1:13
Yes, you can transplant hardy cyclamens in June. Actually, that is the best time of the year to do that! I transplanted successfully 6 tubers of hardy cyclamens last summer and they all came back with blooms and foliage in the early Fall. If you dig them up in the summer, you will find out they have little to no roots at all around them. It seems like these tubers go 100% dormant in the summer (at least here in North Texas) and they almost "resurrect" when you least think about them! |

It's a fascinating time to be in the Puna district. Kileaua volcano has been following continuously since 1989, mainly near, and bordering, the Hawaii Volcano National Park. As of June 27th, a new finger had developed. This is a ground flow only, and does not erupt into the air. It is heading towards the town of Pahoa. We are located about 3-4 miles laterally from the current flow. Our access to Hilo, and hwy 130 should not be affected. Our subdivision, Ainaloa, is most unlikely to have access cut off to it, as we are considered a very safe distance from the present day flow. The present lava flow is creating light to moderate smoke conditions, as the lava is creating very localized small brush fire burning. The conditions will vary based on materials burning and wind direction. Guests staying at our home have commented that they are still very satisfied with the air quality near our rental. Presently the town of Pahoa, and points beyond, are still accessible by regular roads / routes. In the advent that Hwy 130 is covered with Lava, near the town of Pahoa, they have created basic alternate roads, making the area beyond Pahoa still accessible, by a more circuitous route. We feel extremely FORTUNATE that our home is safe and still available to offer as a rental. ( As a side note; our home is a very solid structure, as we safely weathered a Category 1 Hurricane with no damage to our structure. ) The internet is a great resource for information about the June 27 Lava Flow, and we welcome any questions that you may have about our home and surrounding area. It is a dynamic time, with new earth being created daily! Come and enjoy our peaceful home, and explore and enjoy the East side of the Island. We look forward to your inquiries, and we appreciate the opportunity to be your host during your travels.
It's a great house. This is a clean and affordable place to stay.
We are conviently located in the tropical district of Puna, on the Big Island of Hawaii. We are a logical gateway from which you can explore the strikingly beautiful, utterly raw, and uncrowded natural surroundings of East Hawaii. We are a 20 minute drive from the Hilo International Airport, a 5 minute drive from the town of Pahoa, a 20 minute drive to the sunny Kapoho beach parks, and an easy 40 minute drive from Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Come relax, unwind, and fill your days with fascinating activities.
'Paradise Getaway' is located on a 1/4 acre lot, in Anialoa subdivision. Our house is surrounded by undeveloped lots on 3 sides, increasing your feeling of privacy. Our yard is tropical and ever developing. My husband David designed and built this house himself. Upon entering you will feel at home, with our comfortable and open floor plan. It has vaulted open beam ceilings, and plenty of large windows, allowing for tropical breezes to flow thru. Every room also has ceiling fans, it is easy to adjust the temperature based on air flow. We have a fully equipped kitchen with many cooking and dining conveniences, so relax and cook at home, or grill out on our charcoal grill. Our sleeping area has a new and comfortable queen sized bed. There is a large closet with room for luggage, and drawers to unpack for your stay. We also have a fold out futon where 2 additional people can sleep. Our bathroom is clean, spacious, and has a full sized bathtub / shower which is heated by solar hot water. Most houses in the Puna district rely on rain catchment systems for their water needs. We invested in a 10,000 gallon concrete rain catchment tank, complete with a state of the art UV filter. This ensures ample water supply, and a delicious and safe water source for all your drinking, cooking, and bathing needs. When comparing vacation rentals in this area, keep these quality eco-friendly features in mind. To help you get out and enjoy we provide the following: beach towels, sand mats, basic snorkel gear, boogies board, small ice chest / cooler, kids sand toys, and flash lights for your night time lava viewing. Don't forget, we have on-site laundry! A FRIENDLY NOTE: Our house is on a quiet street, and we request no loud parties. We have a strict NO SMOKING / NO PET POLICY for the comfort of all future guests. THANKS
People are always curious what the weather may be like; it is dynamic! A 'typical day' might be sunny and warm with some fast moving clouds and a short rain squall. It frequently rains at night and in the early morning, keeping it cool and comfortable for sleeping. The combination of sun, warmth, and rain, is what makes it look so tropical, and beautiful! It is helpful to pack a long sleeve shirt / pants, closed toe walking shoes for the lava, and a light rain coat. The following are all within an easy days drive: Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, Hwy 130/Kalapana -previous lava flows, snorkeling at tide pools, soaking at warm ponds,surfing /swimming, farmers markets,Lava Trees, tropical gardens, zoo, downtown Pahoa and Hilo (restaurants/museums/shopping)
Keywords: Studio,Open Beam Construction, Breezy
I am a carpenter from Alaska. I came to Hawaii, designed and built this house myself. We enjoy it for some part of the winter, and hope you will do the same.
Kirsten Amann purchased this house in 2007
We enjoy our water source being so eco-friendly (water from the rain / warmth from the sun). Our home is open and breezy with large windows to gaze at the moon, stars, and the sunrise. Our entire family enjoys our large deck daily. We live on a quiet, rural street - yet it is easy to get out and enjoy the tropical beauty that surrounds us. Our 3 year old daughter loves learning about the volcano, and she has even seen fresh lava flowing at night!
Kirsten was an amazing host even from afar. We never actually met but everything went as planned and very smoothly. Kirsten was also very helpful in giving us tips to make our trip better. The listing and info was all accurate. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Paradise Getaway, would do it again, and recommend it to others! Thanks for helping make our recent trip to Hawaii so enjoyable. We really liked your place. Thanks for the breakfast on arrival and for the fresh pineapple (the person overseeing the property, I assume, left it for us downstairs one day). Your tip for the discount Hawaii car rental was great and we ended up using it. With the free additional driver, it was the cheapest option. We also made use of the Big Island Revealed guide book that you had available at the house several times during our stay and enjoyed all the little extra comfort at the house. We made use of the little cooler and beach towels on one outing. The washer and dryer were convenient too. It was nice to come back and relax and watch a little TV in the evenings then wake up and have coffee and breakfast before venturing out for the day. We loved Volcanoes National Park, went there two different days. We were celebrating our anniversary which turned into an engagement atop the volcano! We then had dinner at the Volcano House's Rim restaurant which was perfect. Besides that we liked "the strip" in Pahoa and tried out the Thai and Mexican restaurants there. I'd only been to Oahu before and liked the Big Island better. There was more beautiful natural surrounding to look at, it was less touristy, and I thought the food was better. I'm vegetarian and it was pretty easy to find good options for me. We went zip-lining one day in Kapa'au and used Big Island Eco Adventures II. We'd definitely recommend them. Not only did it allow us to see a different part of the island by driving to Kapa'au but our tour guides were super cool and gracious. It was my first time and they were great at helping our tiny group of four feel safe and comfortable. I hadn't been on others for comparison but my partner was talking about having to brake and land yourself on other zip lines. This one was more hands free because the tour guides helped with each "landing." I also went for my first ride in a helicopter. We did a volcano and waterfall helicopter tour using Blue Hawaiian helicopters. We also had a good experience with the people there. We stayed seven days and did much more then I mentioned h

Helping Veterans Get Back to Work: Anthony Luberto
Watch Army Veteran Anthony Luberto, here.
Anthony Luberto spent three years in Army, serving with 82 Airborne. From January of 2007 until March of 2008, he was stationed at Combat Outpost Callahan just outside Sadr City, Iraq. He was a commissioned officer -- a first lieutenant -- with significant experience managing complicated logistics.
When he left the military, that didn't matter. Civilian employers had trouble recognizing how his skills and leadership experience would translate into the private workforce. He had to turn to a headhunter for help.
"I think it's important for the government to assist veterans as much as they can," Anthony says, "in finding suitable work."
Today, he continues to serve the government as a contractor for the Defense Department -- and is working on his masters degree with the help of the post-9/11 GI Bill.
Across the country, 600,000 veterans like Anthony have gone back to school with similar help from the post-9/11 GI Bill. And this week, President Obama announced new initatives as part of the "We Can't Wait Campaign" to help veterans better translate military skills for private employes and make it easier for veterans to connect with companies that want to hire them.
Read more:
Despite the fact that our veterans have unique skills and experiences that make them excellent hires for any civilian business, their unemployment rate tops 12 percent. Read the stories of veterans like Anthony who have struggled to transition their skills into new careers and find out why fighting for these heroes is a priority for the Obama Administration.

Hardware for Analog TV questions
I am building a HTPC (Win 7 Home x64, Gigabyte A75M-D2H mb w/ integrated video, AMD A6-3500 2.1Ghz CPU, 2 Ghz DDR which I will probably upgrade to 4) to use with an analog TV which supports Coax, Composite, S-Video, and Component (YPbPr) video.
I am currently outputting component video via the VGA port and a KWorld PCTV1600 PC to TV Converter (1600 x 1200) with HDTV Support & Remote at TigerDirect.com and the picture is unsatisfactory. The overall quality is acceptable, but periodically, something I would describe as a wrinkle or a wave - that is, a horizontal line above and below which the picture is not aligned - moves from top to bottom on the screen. It does this regardless of the video source, including live and recorded TV (OTA broadcast, thru WMC via a Haupage tuner), Netflix in WMC, and Hulu Desktop. I saw the same phenomenon when experimenting with the PC to TV device and my primary computer, which is considerably more powerful (3.1 Ghz Intel Core i5, Asus P8P67 mb, 8 Ghz DDR) so I suspect that this is caused by the PC to TV device, but I don't know this. Can anyone help me either troubleshoot my current setup or recommend different hardware to achieve better results? The Gigabyte mb supports DVI & HDMI as well as VGA, so these are options if a different converter is the answer. All input is greatly appreciated. |

The pattern on the screen you describe was typical in older analogue TVs where the electrolytic smoothing capacitors were starting to go and the resultant lines on the screen was caused by insufficient smoothing and beating with the mains frequency. However if your TV is not old, its is unlike to be that but can also caused by ground loops particularly where multiple connections between equipment is used.
My System Specs |
13 Apr 2012 | #3 |
My TV is from 2001, and did not manifest the display issue in question that when displaying my Dish Network feed. Is it therefore safe to assume that failing capacitors are not an issue here?

This is a common problem when trying to convert VGA to component video. This is definitely an example of "you get what you pay for". Quality video isn't going to come from a sub-$100 product, unfortunately. Unless you want to upgrade your TV to a newer model, you'll probably have to invest somewhere between $150-$200 for a quality converter, and even then you might still see artifacting.
You'd never notice this with Dish, because Dish doesn't output VGA, nor does it convert VGA to component. |
My System Specs |

The TV also has an S-video connection. Do VGA-to-S-video converters work any better (or are they cheaper)? Alternately, are there options to go from the PC's DVI or HDMI ports to the TV's component or S-video connections that would work better (or cheaper)?
My System Specs |
15 Apr 2012 | #6 |
S-Video is worse than component (video, then svideo, then component/hdmi, in order of worst to best), so you will not have a better picture than you have right now.
You are welcome to try different converters, but I think you'll end up with nearly the same results. Digital (DVI/HDMI) to component conversion is not cheap, and a quality converter will run you about the same as I posted for VGA to component conversion. |

Image Map Links
So I'm not entirely new to all this but it's been a while and I'm trying to do something a little beyond what I've done before. Anyways I searched the site for anything related and didn't see anything, so if this is a repeat just point me along.
Here's the deal. I'm working on a shopping cart system (ZenCart) the site I'm building is for personalized stationery. There are a bunch of options that customers can choose to personalize. Ie: head size shape, body size, etc. Basically pick the stickman that looks like you.
The manufacturer has a coding system where each character or attribute is assigned a code. Ie: Little boy with baseball cap head is B4.
There's also an image that has a list of all these attributes. When the customer is filling out their personal information, ie: character names, address, etc, they can click on a link which opens a new window with the master Image.
What I'm trying to do is create an image map in this new window so that the customer can click on the desired head and the corresponding code will be inserted into the referring page in a text box.
Ok so I haven't found a great way to describe this yet, but hopefully someone can see what I'm getting at.
Maybe this will help. Imagine what's below is the image map.
1 2 3 4 5
What I need is on clicking say 'R2' that the popup window closes and inserts 'R2' into a text field.
Based on what I know about HTML I think this should certainly be possible, if also quite toilsome. Perhaps though this is a server side operation...?
Anyways thanks for any advice,

Certainly IS possible, what server-side language can you use on this project?
All you would really have to do is append a querystring value on the link so it passed a value to the next page, wherein you would parse the querystring and display the info accordingly.
That rug really tied the room together.

hi pixelEngine,
It's an Apache server running PHP Version: 4.3.10 (Zend: 1.3.0).
Any idea where I might find an online guide or resource that might explain querystring value etc?
any advice here is good since i'm a little lost

Brett Gardner's success at the big league level is something of a mystery. A mystery that is equal parts utility and scarcity. A triumph of selection bias, really.
Players like Gardner tend to slip through the cracks, more often than not. Lacking the big time power profile of a prototypical outfield prospect, players who go about their business in the style of the Yankees newly minted millionaire put a lot of pressure on notoriously unreliable measures.
The Yankees are no fools. They understand how important a player like Brett Gardner is to their success and so they rewarded their left fielder with a four-year, $53 million contract extension.
Garnder gets $12.5M in each yr beginning in '15, club option also for $12.5M. And there is a $1M kicker if he is traded during pact #Yankees
— Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) February 23, 2014
Watching Gardner go about his business, it is easy to wonder why there aren't more players like him the big leagues. High OBP, great defense in the outfield, excellent base runners. Many fourth or fifth outfielders attempt to make that combination of skills work, but so few pull it off. Gardner is the rare case to make it work as a starter,
Even Gardner himself realized the infield singles/walks/defense look was difficult to pull off, adjusting his approach ahead of the 2013 season to include more power. He walked less often than before and knocked around a career-high total of extra base hits.
The scouting process and infrastructure in baseball is set up to overlook players like Gardner. Again: making his combination work is a much tougher task than it appears. His baseball career that began as a walk-on at the College of Charleston, keeping him off the radar of most scouts. His college career also positioned Gardner as "old" for his level at times in the minor leagues.
Now entering his sixth year as a big league pro, Brett Gardner received the type of payday even he could not have dreamed. The Yankees have their outfield solution for four years, a player who might not post a typical Yankee Stadium stat line but one, because of the things he does well, helps the team win.
Even though he missed nearly the entire 2012 season, Gardner ranks in the top 15 among outfielders for Wins Above Replacement. The occasionally maligned stat rates Gardner ahead of players like Hunter Pence (five years, $90 million) and Nick Swisher (four year, $56 million), and Curtis Granderson (four years, $60 million) since 2010. Even though his production takes on a different shape than these other players, the "baseball marketplace" recognizes their contributions as roughly equal.
Moving to left field on a full-time basis might reduce his "on paper" WAR but Gardner's combination of league-average (at worst) offense and above-average to excellent defense make him a winning ballplayer.
Brett Gardner is nearly the perfect outfielder to play left field at Yankee Stadium. He has the range to track down balls in the deep power alley but also the strong, accurate throwing arm to make the long throw from this position back to the infield. His range and defensive know-how allows the Yankees to shade new CF Jacoby Ellsbury towards right, protecting the aged and the infirmed (Ichiro, Alfonso Soriano, Carlos Beltran) the Yanks plan to station there. Gardner can also take up the mantle in center should Ellsbury miss time with injury.
Brett Gardner doesn't produce like a standard issue corner outfielder but he certainly does produce – with his defense, with his legs, with a patient approach and with bat, if the pitcher isn't careful. The Yankees made a wise choice when they locked up this player before he gets to free agency. More teams than the Bronx Bombers would surely covet this rare combination of skills.

- "Affordable, easy to fly, held together with rivets... The Mammatus is one of the best-selling light aircraft in history, and a whole lot of fun to land in high winds."
- ―ElitasTravel.com description.
The Jobuilt Mammatus is a single-engine general aviation aircraft that appears in Grand Theft Auto V.
The Mammatus is inspired by the Cessna 182 Skylane and 172D. It looks similar to the 3D Universe rendition of the Dodo, which took the shape of older Cessna 150/152 models. The fuselage is mostly white with stripes of a randomly generated color, often blue or red, a paint job often seen in real-life Cessnas. The one purchasable by singleplayer characters that is delivered to their hangars always spawns in a full black paint job.
The Mammatus is powered by a single-propeller engine that is capable of delivering great acceleration, but a slow top speed, being even behind the Duster . This makes it the slowest airplane in the game and the second slowest aircraft, only behind the Cargobob. On the other hand, the Mammatus is highly maneuverable, and is able to take off and land easily.
It is one of the best aircraft for beginners in piloting because of its stable flight and low turbulence. Its 4 seats also make it a useful and cheap crew/group transport in GTA Online, yet, for an extra 150 thousand dollars, the player can obtain the vastly superior Velum, making it a poor purchase for other than collection.
- Seen flying around Los Santos.
- Sometimes found landing at Trevor's airstrip.
- Sometimes found by Michael 's hangar at the Los Santos International Airport.
GTA Online
- Can be bought from the Elitas Travel website for $300,000 (GTA Online only).
- Sometimes spawn at the cargo section of Los Santos International Airport.
- Sometimes spawns with a Velum or Mallard next to Franklin's Hangar.
- The Mammatus only has 2 doors and has 4 seats, you warp Into the back seats much like you do in the Velum.
- The term Mammatus is used to describe a certain type of pouch-shaped cloud which can be seen commonly before storms. The word is also derived from the word mamma, meaning breast, which could be an obscene easter egg.
- Strangely, the airplane has two forward-facing headlights (one on each wing), which is rather uncommon on small civilian aircraft, which usually feature only one headlight on the left wing.
- This plane looks somewhat similar to the Woodpecker from the Saints Row series.
- Despite being called "affordable" on the Elitás Travel webpage description, the Mammatus is the second most expensive propeller aircraft in the game, being more costly than both the Mallard and the Cuban 800.
- Due to a glitch, the Mammatus' headlights will light up even if the plane itself is wrecked.

The one-year Master's programme in Business Economics teaches you how to make the right organisational and financial decisions for organisations. This specialised programme is meant for students who want to focus on organisational and financing issues, using a quantitative and analytical approach. The Finance track of the MSc in Business Economics concentrates on the workings of financial and economics management of organisations and the use of financial tools by companies and investors. This programme gives you the tools and knowledge you need to work for a wide range of organisations in both the commercial and governmental sectors.
The Master of Science in Business Economics is a one-year programme. The curriculum yields 60 ECTS credits (1 ECTS credit = ½ US credit). The academic year runs from September to July and is divided into two semesters, each with three blocks. Each block will be rounded off with an examination. Please refer to the academic calendar below for a clear lay-out.
The Business Economics programme offers three specialisations:

The book of Genesis tells us that God created man and woman entrusting them with the task of filling the earth and subduing it, which does not mean exploiting it, but nurturing and protecting it, caring for it through their work (cf. Gen 1:28; 2 15). Work is part of God's loving plan, we are called to cultivate and care for all the goods of creation and in this way participate in the work of creation! Work is fundamental to the dignity of a person. (Pope Francis)

VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - We offer below the Official Vatican Radio transcript of the Wednesday Catechetical address by our Holy Father Francis which was delivered in Italian. It is followed by the English summary.
Dear brothers and sisters, Good Day!,
Today, May 1st, we celebrate Saint Joseph the Worker and begin the month traditionally dedicated to Our Lady. In our encounter this morning, I want to focus on these two figures, so important in the life of Jesus, the Church and in our lives, with two brief thoughts: the first on work, the second on the contemplation of Jesus
1. In the Gospel of St. Matthew, in one of the moments when Jesus returns to his town, to Nazareth, and speaks in the synagogue, the amazement of his fellow townspeople at his wisdom is emphasized, and the question they ask: "Is not this the carpenter's son? "(13:55). Jesus comes into our history is among us, born of Mary by the power of God, but with the presence of Saint Joseph, the legal father who cares for him and also teaches him his work. Jesus is born and lives in a family, in the Holy Family, learning the craft of carpenter from Saint Joseph in his workshop in Nazareth, sharing with him the commitment, effort, satisfaction and also the difficulties of every day.
This reminds us of the dignity and importance of work. The book of Genesis tells us that God created man and woman entrusting them with the task of filling the earth and subduing it, which does not mean exploiting it, but nurturing and protecting it, caring for it through their work (cf. Gen 1:28; 2 15). Work is part of God's loving plan, we are called to cultivate and care for all the goods of creation and in this way participate in the work of creation! Work is fundamental to the dignity of a person.
Work, to use an image, "anoints" us with dignity, fills us with dignity, makes us similar to God, who has worked and still works, who always acts (cf. Jn 5:17); it gives you the ability to maintain ourselves, our family, to contribute to the growth of our nation. And here I think of the difficulties which, in various countries, today afflicts the world of work and business; I think of how many, and not just young people, are unemployed, many times due to a purely economic conception of society, which seeks selfish profit, beyond the parameters of social justice.
I wish to extend an invitation to solidarity to everyone, and I would like to encourage those in public office to make every effort to give new impetus to employment, this means caring for the dignity of the person, but above all I would say do not lose hope; St. Joseph also experienced moments of difficulty, but he never lost faith and was able to overcome them, in the certainty that God never abandons us.
And then I would like to speak especially to you young people: be committed to your daily duties, your study, your work, to relationships of friendship, to helping towards others; your future also depends on how you live these precious years of your life. Do not be afraid of commitment, of sacrifice and do not look with fear towards the future; keep your hope alive: there is always a light on the horizon.
I would like to add a word about another particular work situation that concerns me: I am referring to what we could define as "slave labor", the work that enslaves. How many people worldwide are victims of this type of slavery, in which the person is at the service of his or her work, while work should offer a service to people so they may have dignity. I ask my brothers and sisters in faith and all men and women of good will for a decisive choice to combat trafficking in persons, which includes "slave labor".
2. In reference to the second thought: in the silence of daily events, St. Joseph, together with Mary, have one common center of attention: Jesus. They accompany and nurture, with commitment and tenderness, the growth of the Son of God made man for us, reflecting on everything that happened. In the Gospels, St. Luke twice emphasizes the attitude of Mary, which is also that of St. Joseph: "She kept all these things and pondered them in her heart" (2,19.51).
To listen to the Lord, we must learn to contemplate, feel His constant presence in our lives and we must stop and converse with Him, give him space in prayer. Each of us, even you boys and girls, young people, so many of you here this morning, should ask: how much space do I give to the Lord?
Do I stop to talk with him? Ever since we were children, our parents have accustomed us to start and end the day with a prayer, to teach us to feel that the friendship and the love of God accompanies us. Let us remember the Lord more in our daily life!
And in this month of May, I would like to recall the importance and beauty of the prayer of the Holy Rosary. Reciting the Hail Mary, we are led to contemplate the mysteries of Jesus, that is, to reflect on the key moments of his life, so that, as with Mary and St. Joseph, He is the center of our thoughts, of our attention and our actions .
It would be nice if, especially in this month of May, we could pray the Holy Rosary together in the family, with friends, in the parish, or some prayer to Jesus and the Virgin Mary! Praying together is a precious moment that further strengthens family life, friendship! Let us learn to pray more in the family and as a family!
Dear brothers and sisters, we ask Saint Joseph and the Virgin Mary, who teach us to be faithful to our daily tasks, to live our faith in the actions of everyday life and to give more space to the Lord in our lives, to stop to contemplate His face.
English summary
Dear Brothers and Sisters: On this first day of May, Mary's month, we celebrate the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker. Joseph, the carpenter of Nazareth, reminds us of the dignity and importance of labour. Work is part of God's plan for the world; by responsibly cultivating the goods of creation, we grow in dignity as men and women made in God's image. For this reason, the problem of unemployment urgently demands greater social solidarity and wise and just policies.
I also encourage the many young people present to look to the future with hope, and to invest themselves fully in their studies, their work and their relationships with others. Saint Joseph, as a model of quiet prayer and closeness to Jesus, also invites us to think about the time we devote to prayer each day. In this month of May, the Rosary naturally comes to mind as a way to contemplate the mysteries of Christ's life. May Saint Joseph and the Virgin Mary help us to be faithful in our daily work and to lift up our minds and hearts to Jesus in prayer.

Plumas Board of Supervisors violate Brown Act
Joshua Sebold Staff Writer 7/21/2010
The Plumas County Board of Supervisors violated the Brown Act Tuesday, July 13, by holding what amounted to an unscheduled meeting on a topic that would look relatively significant if placed on an agenda.
The Brown Act is a set of California laws meant to ensure that government decision-making is transparent.

City having drawing to encourage electronic utility billings, payments
May 23, 2013
Baldwin City is having a drawing in as attempt to entice utility customers to receive and pay their bills electronically.
City finance director Brad Smith said beginning with the May billing and continuing for the next six months all residential customers who opt to receive their utility bill by email and pay for them through one of the two electronic fund transfers options the city offers will be entered into the drawing. The monthly first-, second- and third-place winners will receive a $100, $50 or $25 credit, respectively, on their next month's utility bill, he said.
The city is encouraging customers to use the electronic options because that saves the city the cost of a postcard, a 30-cent stamp and the printing cost for each billing, Smith said. With 1,400 residential customers, those costs can add up, he said.
He also notes electronic billing and payments are more efficient and environmentally friendly.
Customers can sign up for email billing at City Hall, and can visit the city's website, baldwincity.org, to pay bill electronically, Customers opting for automatic withdrawal payments from their checking accounts must visit City Hall to sign up for the arrangement.
The city has offered email billing and the two electronic payment options for about six months but it has been slow to catch on. Of the city's 1,400 residential customers, 90 have opted for email billing, 375 have arranged direct withdrawal payments and 150 pay through the city website, Smith said.

I went to dye my hair a dark brownish red from already dark brown hair, and it managed to make it bright red. I am not happy at all.
Terrible product!
I literaly just used it, and I am so disappointed that I wanted to write a review right-way.
Yeah the foaming formula sounds cool, except that the foam was dripping all around, mixing the things was a hell of a mess and it took forever before actually I could see that color and developer were well mixed (instructions say don't shake.... yeah, I guess you gotta make your formulas a little more soluble then).
I couldn't see any color developing while I had it on, I waited 25 minutes as told, checked my grey hairs and nothing was happening (except itchy feeling, which is very weird, since I have never had issues like that, not even with far much more aggressive dyes)!!! so I left 10 more minutes, and then finally washed everything.
All my grey hairs stayed exactly the same they were at the beginning, not even a little shade of color (I was using dark brown)
Do they at least test these products before selling them?
I've used this twice now and really would not recommend it. My color choice was dark blonde 7. First time i left it on for the full 30 minutes and nearly fainted at how dark it was. It did fade to the color on the box and then continued to fade quite rapidly. The color was ok, a nice natural dark blonde but did get brassy the more it faded. Second time i left it on for 15 mins max, which was better color wise but then my focus switched onto how drying it was. Even with the conditioner my hair felt like straw. Ive now switched to L'oreal Sublime colour mousse which condition wise is comparatively amazing.
I am not usually a fan of gimmicky products..I stick with what I am familiar with. But I was browsing around at Walgreens and this was on sale for 7.99 and I loved the color on the front..being that I couldn't find one quite like it on the usual pour on form I bought it..it says LESS MESS but i must be sloppy because its just as messy as other dyes. The mousse covers a lot of hair which was surprising and one did all of my long hair. The color pay off is very good, now I am just waiting to see what the fade time is on it...that will determine a repurchase but so far so good!

I bought this in 6rr light intense auburn, its from the commercial with tina fey. This cost me about $10 and I only bought 1 box for my long wavy hair-for reference my longest layers hit my boobs and my shortest hit my collar bone, happy to say that 1 box did cover it all although I used every last bit of it. The pic on the box is much more of a brown color in my opinion and I was wondering if it would turn red at all, most of my hair was medium brown except my roots which were my natural dark brown color. I was happy to see that this dye actually penetrated my brown hair all the way to the ends but the roots are slightly more vibrant red than the rest but it doesn't look weird or anything. My only complaint would be that certain areas on my roots didn't take to the dye for some reason even though I know I soaked them. Specifically the hair right by my ears and the very crown of my head, it's not to bad right now because the color is such a reddish brown and my hair was brown before that it blends well but it's still annoying. The smell of this stuff is exactly what you'd expect when using permanent dye, hair feels fine after using conditioner. Now for the color- very hard to explain, if you've seen the commercial where they use this color it's pretty close to that girls hair, if not, it's not some intense red like the little mermaid, it's a nice auburn color, brown but somehow still most definitely red. As for the foam, I've never used a foam dye before and I think I liked it. At first I was nervous because unlike a cream it doesn't soak your hair the same way so I wasn't sure if I'd done certain areas yet or not but after I got half way done my head I could tell and I do feel like the foam may have gone a little farther than if it was just a cream. All in all I liked this color a lot, I was scared about doing red in my hair as I have pale skin with pink undertones but it looks really good without being crazy red and it brings out my green eyes. I would buy this product again.
EDIT: I bought a second box the next day to do touch ups, it still didnt take at the hair near my ears for some reason! I love this color red on my so much but it does fade pretty fast, although I've heard all red dyes fade faster than others so it's probably not just this brand
I just bought and used this product today and i dont like it one bit. It seems to of covered my grays which is what i wanted and to darken my brown hair but why i dont like is it left my hair very dry. The conditioner it came with was terrible. I would of rather the color not of taken and left my hair not so dry
I tried This product twice because it is easy to use because it saturates hair easily. It smells better than most dyes. Unfortunately, the colour didn't take well at the roots so I ended up with a reverse ombré look that got worse with washing (using sulfate free shampoo).
was not impressed with this product. i used dark blonde to cover up some accidental over bleaching and have ended up with dark brown hair and i only left it on for 20 mins! its easy to use appart from slippery to try and pump. didnt lather on my hair like it said it sould. wasy to wash out and didnt smell too bad. would be an ok product if it came out the colour it was supposed to!

I haven't dyed my hair in years and I have been wanting to lighten my hair a bit...nothing too drastic. I purchased Medium Golden Brown and the so far the results have been fantastic. The foaming action makes application so easy. I have medium-long length hair and the creme dyes usually take 45 minutes to an hour to apply. I would say I had my hair covered in about 10 minutes. Holding the bottle and trying to pump was a little hard as the bottle got slippery - not a big deal. Washing the product out was a cinch and I did not have any stains on my skin. My hair felt very coarse and dry before the conditioner but after the conditioner was applied and left on for 3 minutes my hair felt magically soft. The next day my hair still smells a little like dye but the condition of my hair has not really changed except it seems a bit shinier. The only gripe I have is that there didn't seem to be enough dye in the bottle. I applied the whole bottle to my hair and I worried that my ends were not completely covered. In the end, my hair was covered correctly but I would recommend more dye added to the bottles to be on the safe side. I would repurchase again but I will try another foaming product next time.
Since this dye was on sale, thought I'd try taking a break from John Frieda. It wasn't worth it. The only thing the dye had going for it was that it smelled decent. The bottle style makes it hard to pump foam out, and the cheap gloves they give you don't help give you a good grip on the bottle. The foam was runny and messy: it travelled everywhere. It took forever to rinse out. The conditioner they included did nothing to soften or condition the hair: my hair actually felt worse than it did before. And the color isn't even close--I know the results are a combination of your natural hair color plus the dye, but this wasn't even in the ballpark.
Lesson learned: cheaper isn't always better. I'm going back to John Frieda.
