When I ranked the Top 8, I wrote that if the show ended last week, Matthew Schuler should win. Easily.
The first bit of bad news for Matthew is that the show did not end last week
The second bit of bad news is that he and Christina Aguilera fell into a common trap Monday night.
They concentrated so much on choreography and production that Matthew's vocals suffered.
Boy, how did they suffer? Watching the show back, it was clear the West Chester University student turned in the weakest vocal on Top 8 night.
Viewers noticed, too. They did not exactly flock to iTunes to buy Matthew's latest effort.
When voting ended today, he checked in at 85 on the iTunes singles chart, 29 spots behind seventh-place Ray Boudreaux.
That big clang you just heard. That was a big dent being hammered into Matthew's front-runner status.
Because while he was sliding, Jacquie Lee turned in perhaps the best vocal of Season 5, bouncing back strong from her own off week.
Will Champlin turned out to be the most popular on iTunes. Cole Vosbury and James Wolpert did very well on the charts, too.
And a week after looking oh, so vulnerable, Caroline Pennell delivered nicely on "Dog Days Are Over," perhaps earning herself a Top 6 spot.
So who's in danger tonight?
Well, you'd hope Matthew wouldn't get eliminated over one lousy performance. Especially after all the impressive ones that preceeded it.
But once you eliminate Ray Boudreaux — most likely to depart tonight — you still need two artists to make up the bottom three.
It's not easy to figure out who else might be in need of that instant save.
But, suddenly, the next three weeks look a whole lot more interesting, don't they?
For a look at last night's song by song grades go here. For a look at where all the artists landed on iTunes today, head here.
We start off with a performance by Ellie Goulding, joined by James, Will and Matthew. The guys aren't allowed to do much. Heck, if they opened up, I'm pretty sure they would have drowned out Ellie.
The second group number of the night has all eight contestants, singing "Will the Circle be Unbroken," during which they get to do much more. Until a choir breaks in. Not sure why we need them. Pretty sure The Voice's talented Top 8 could have pulled this off without assistance. Tessanne, however, seems determined to out-sing everyone on stage.
Performance number three of the night is one from Cee Lo Green that I'd rather forget and a song I won't be downloading. The Voice is certainly proving this should have been a half-hour show.
Next the Top 8 return for another performance.
And the results begin:
These artists are safe —
* Will Champlin of Team Adam, who had the most successful tune on iTunes today.
* Cole Vosbury of Team Blake, who had the second-most successful song on iTunes today.
* Jacquie Lee of Team Christina, who delivered last night's best vocal.
* Tessanne Chin of Team Adam, who has been consistently strong all season.
* James Wolpert of Team Adam, the lad from Lancaster.
And that leaves a bottom three of Caroline Pennell, Ray Boudreaux and Matthew Schuler.
Saved via the instant save was Matthew Schuler.
Eliminated from the competition are Caroline and Ray.
Not surprised by that outcome. Based on his performances since the show began, Matthew deserved the save.
But Caroline turned in the best performance last night.
And that leaves Cee Lo without a contestant in the competition while Adam has all three of his still on the show.

Arianna November 27, 2013 at 12:53 pm - Reply I dont think Tessanne Chin wanted to out sing everyone. She got talent it is obvious. I do get the feeling that because she is not from the USA she is being pick at. Vote for the contestant base on their talent regardless of where they are from. I would love to see all three of Adam team members going into top three, they can sing.
Pam Schaefer November 27, 2013 at 4:12 pm - Reply Christina, you have your work cut out for you this week. Choose tge correct music/song that will showcase Matthew's vocal talent. Don't screw up like you did Monday night concentrating on all that superfluous choreography. Let Matthew shine as he did with Hallelujah! You seem very biased toward Jackie. Are you a coach or simply a fan? Following your much needed radical weight loss, you've appeared to be kinder, more sensitive and genuine. Somewhat taken with yourself, nonetheless. Now coach Matthew the way you need to. Jackie is not the only member of your team needing professional attention.
Mel November 28, 2013 at 5:23 am - Reply I do agree that I Could hear Tessannee above the others near the end of the song but to say she was trying to 'out sing' the others is a bit harsh, please remember all this is reherased a head of time and they are only singing the parts they are assigned in group performances.
Being that she is a fellow Jamaican i would like to thank Arianna for her comment on behalf of Tessanne, her voice and performance has nothing to do with where she is from, focus on 'her' performances which is what counts… its not a competition when its a group performance so if they want to put their heart and souls in it, so let it be. Let her and all their voices be heard and America will decide the outcome.
Milla November 28, 2013 at 11:45 pm - Reply The song selected for Matthew was not fit for his performance or vocal talent. I don't know how Cristiana came up with that song or what she was thinking…or was she? There was too much focus on choreography and not the talent this young man has as a vocal singer. It seems that his coach is putting more coaching toward Jackie. Christina you don't think America sees this? Did you want Jackie to shine and not Matthew? Do your job as a coach and coach him. Sometimes I wonder if Matthew's talent iwas being sabatogage.

Mayhem # 1702302
About MeMy goal is to see if i have what it takes to be a model. I have a good physique from years of yoga and always dreamed of modeling professionally. I really think my look is ideal for lingerie, swimwear, fitness and fashion modeling. My hope is that this website will help me build a portfolio and further my possible career in modeling.My favorite star and role model is Audrey Hepburn. I love her look because I can relate to it the most. Everything about her is classy and tasteful. I am hoping I can recreate some of the famous photos of her from Breakfast at Tiffani's and Roman Holidays. I am looking to collaborate (TFP/TFCD) with both professional and new photographers and make-up artists that would like add to or develop their portfolios. I am always up to trying out new and unique projects, both indoors and outdoors, so feel free to brainstorm with me. I have great work ethics. I respect the time and experience of the photographers and MUAs that I work with, therefore I am always on time and ready to give 110%. I don't do any kind of nudity. I would appreciate if you respect my business principals by not offering such type of work. You can contact me by emailing to firstname.lastname@example.com CreditsI have no tattoos and have an excellent complexion. I am 100% natural with a very well toned figure.Friends |

Pork: Good or Bad?
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, June 8, 2009
We stirred up some controversy recently when we included pork on our list of energy-boosting foods. Some of you questioned whether it was healthy or safe to eat. So you can make your own decision, we thought we'd share pork's nutrition facts. Is it really the "other white meat"?
Trimming the Fat
If you're looking for the healthiest pork options, you want lean cuts — tenderloin, loin chops and sirloin roast. Bacon and other fatty cuts are very high in artery-clogging saturated fat and cholesterol and not for everyday eating. Baked ham and lunch meat fall somewhere in the middle when it comes to fat and calories. Just like with other meats, pork is safe when cooked to the proper internal temperature (it's 160F for pork).
Some folks are conscientious of the environmental impact of meats they eat. If that's you, look for local and free-range purveyors of pork products — just like you would for chicken and beef. Local or free-range products may have a higher price tag, but you can offset the cost in other ways like committing to a meatless day once a week.
Nutrition Facts
Lean cuts of pork are high in protein, low in fat and have more B-vitamins (thiamin, niacin, B6 and B12) than many other types of meat. These vitamins play a role in a variety of body functions, including metabolism and energy production (that's why we had it on our "energizing foods" list). For some perspective, let's compare 3 ounces of cooked pork tenderloin to the same amount of cooked chicken breast — as you'll see, they aren't all that different:
Pork Tenderloin
Calories: 96 calories
Total Fat: 3 grams
Saturated Fat: 1 grams
Cholesterol: 48 milligrams
Protein: 18 grams
Iron 6%
Thiamin 45%
Niacin 30%
Pork also contains healthy doses of zinc and selenium.
Chicken Breast
Calories: 142 calories
Total Fat: 3 grams
Saturated Fat: 1 grams
Cholesterol: 73 milligrams
Protein: 27 grams
Iron 5%
Thiamin 4%
Niacin 59%
Chicken is also a good source of selenium.
Of course, what you choose to eat is always a personal decision. If you're a pork fan, below is a collection of recipes you might want to try. If not, check out alternative meats like bison, which is also lean, or consider a more vegetarian-focused diet.
Pork recipes to try:
- Pork Tenderloin With Seasoned Rub (above)
- Herb-Roasted Pork Loin with Parsley-Shallot Sauce
- Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Celery Root-Apple Puree & Cider Gravy
- Pork Medallions with Cherry Sauce
- Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin
- Chipotle Orange-Glazed Pork Chops
TELL US: Where do you stand on the pork debate?

that was in the old testament…we follow the new testament
so, dont follow the ten commandments…. they are in exodus 20
Just because it was in the old testament doesn't mean that there is not any wisdom in the words. Check out "What the Bible Says About Healthy Living" by Rex Russell. Great research done in that book.
Jesus didn't come to change the old law. He came because we are weak and couldn't avoid sin, to save us from our sins. not to disregard the old law. Google unclean pork, and click on pig and pork facts with the website that has ensidgnmessage.com, it will give you some usefull info. God bless.
If you read in the new testament with Peter and the blanket on the roof… Peter himself tells us the meaning of that.. It was God telling him that even the Gentiles are saved… context people.. and Peter did not eat the unclean food
GOD does not change. When he says something it endures forever. You can seperate the old from the new. It is written not "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." God said that. He said he will never contradict himself. Nothing changed from the old testmant besides the whole " sacricfial law". The Sabbath and the law of unclean foods are still there. From Hebrew 4 "For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from their works,[e] just as God did from his. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience." God does not change. By saying one thing he said is no longer valid is not right. God doesn't have to change. For he is perfect. He knows the end from the beginning. So he doesn't have to change because everything is done to his Will. He is the everlasting God and true Savior. He our Lord and your Jesus Christ
When was the "Old Testament" cancelled?
Did Christ die to purify pigs or to purify us from our sins?
May I suggest going on FB ~ 119 Ministries – Test everything
Also: Isaiah 56 & Isaiah 66…where GOD says HE will visit with a FURY those who eat swines flesh…and HE catorgorizes it with mice!!! -
God knows what He's talking about. The Isrealites lacked the knowledge we have today for treating diseases ,like the pig flu, while they were in the Wilderness. God loved them so much He banned the animals that could cause them harm. Everything that the pig eats or drinks goes into our system when we eat it. Here's a link to back up what I'm saying: http://www.theleviticuscooker.blogspot.com/2014/1…
Moderation in everything including moderation.
Who want to eat a scavenger like pigs when there are so many other choices in the meat shelves at the local grossery?
To eat pork you can likely eat rats and lizzards and other creepy animals they also are full of worms and viruses not healthy for us as humans. We become what we eat, remember that!!! And the last but not least, what we eat also effect our soul so to maintain a good body and soul we have to eat clean and healthy food.-
So apparently you don't eat shrimp,crab,lobster,chicken?
I agree, in fact i am seventh day adventist..
A chicken will eat anything it can get its beak on including each other. I eat both pork and chicken. the doctor tells me I am one of healthest 67 year olds he knows.
Read Isaiah Chap56 & 66 and see what GOD says instead of what your doctor says.
And chicken is a kosher animal,therefore does not eat garbage like you proclaim.
When chicken are cooped up, they will do this out of anger AND DESPAIR…
THEY MUST BE FREE RANGE.Oh…but wait a minute – maybe you're one of those fiesty ones who don't give a hoot what GOD says anyway. Good luck lady.
GOD didn't say anything, he didn't write the bible. Don't be stupid.
Chickens are more of a scavenger than a pig. That is why farmers that have cows and chickens always feed the cows corn so that the chickens can eat the corn out of the feces.
To all those who are discussing pork with regard to Old Testament dietary laws:
There were three types of laws given in the Old Testament. There were civic laws, which applied only to that particular society and governed things like civil regulations and punishments for the Hebrew community. There were ceremonial laws, which were not based on morality but on the symbolism of cleanliness and sacrifice to prepare the Jews for the coming of the Messiah. And there were moral laws, such as the Ten Commandments, which are meant for all people in all cultures at all times.
The dietary laws did not and do not apply to Christians. They are ritualistic and ceremonial, not moral. Paul discusses this at length in the book of Romans. Remember how Paul told the Gentiles that they didn't have to be circumcised? It's the exact same thing. People need to understand that it is sensible and acceptable for Christians to observe the moral laws given in the Bible (don't lie, kill, steal, or commit adultery, incest, homosexuality, etc.) but to ignore the purely ceremonial laws (such as not mixing milk and meat, and not planting two different crops in the same field). So if you want to eat pork, eat pork. The end.
Okay pork is bad for you even if you cut the skin and all that it is bad coz they take a bath in thair crap and some times they eat it!
so think about it if u like pork..
you like pigs crap!-
Rabbits eat their own poop as well… People have no problem eating them. Actually, it's necessary for rabbits to eat their pellets (poop) because when there is still some nutritional value to be had for the soft bits.
Fish, chickens, and pigs eat poop yes, but plants are also fertilized with shit so if we were to go by your logic everyone likes shit.
You are so wrong!! We raised pigs and they are one of the cleanest animals. They have an area where they go to the bathroom and that's all it's used for. They love to play in the mud and there is a lot of goodness in the soil. Pork is good for you!!! I eat a lot of it, I am 72 and all I eat is fish, chicken and pork. Beef is one meat you should stay away from. It sounds to me that you listen to people that don't know what they are talking about. THEY NEVER EAT THIER OWN CRAP!!!!!!! Where did you hear that from???
I really really wish I was crazy enough to buy into religion and say that pork is bad, but I'm just not that crazy yet. Maybe if I am sent off to a christian relearning camp I can become as ignorant as several of the posters above me. Until then
Well said carljay
im not really sure why its even a big deal… if you want to, eat it if you dont, dont. leave the chefs alone… just cause they post a recepie doesnt mean you have to make it. I don't eat any kind of cow meat you dont hear me on here telling them how bad they are for putting up recepies i dont like.
this comment is for carlijay.
dont judge the christian faith on what you hear on the web. some people are too depentant on religion, all you really need is to have a relationship with Jesus, i dont think he really minds about what you eat.
In Mark &:18-19 it says: "Are you so dull?" He asked. "Dont you see that nothing that enters the person from the outside can defile them? For it does not go into their heart but into their body." ( in saying this Jesus declared all foods clean.)

Rhubarb Orange Jam
Lovely Rhubarb Orange Jam
I was given some rhubarb by a friend (thanks Liz!) and in looking up recipes in the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving I found a recipe for Rhubarb Orange Jam. I had just enough rhubarb to make it so I started chopping. This jam went together very easily and is very, very delicious. It reminds me a little of marmalade, it is more tart than sweet.
Rhubarb Orange Jam
From Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving – Makes about seven 8oz jars
2 oranges
5 cups finely chopped rhubarb
1 package regular powdered fruit pectin
6 cups granulated sugar
Prepare canner, jars and lids. Using a vegetable peeler, remove peel from half of one orange. Cut peel into very thin slivers, about 1 inch long, and set aside. Squeeze juice from both oranges into a measure, adding water if necessary to yield 1 cup. In a large, deep stainless steel saucepan, combine orange juice, slivered orange peel and rhubarb. Whisk in pectin until dissolved. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil hard, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim off foam. Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot jam. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Screw band down until resistance is met, then increase to fingertip-tight. Place jars in canner, ensuring they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil and process for 10 minutes. Remove canner lid. Wait five minutes, then remove jars, cool and store.

This is a wonderful combo– included in an old time English country-woman farming cookbook that I have. Really traditional. Thank you for reminding me I'd like to make this maybe with the last of our rhubarb before the winter.

Abstract | Many disease pathogens stimulate immunity in their hosts, which then wanes over time. To better understand the impact of this immunity on epidemiological dynamics, we propose an epidemic model structured according to immunity level that can be applied in many different settings. Under biologically realistic hypotheses, we find that immunity alone never creates a backward bifurcation of the disease-free steady state. This does not rule out the possibility of multiple stable equilibria, but we provide two sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of the endemic equilibrium, and show that these conditions ensure uniqueness in several common special cases. Our results indicate that the within-host dynamics of immunity can, in principle, have important consequences for population-level dynamics, but also suggest that this would require strong non-monotone effects in the immune response to infection. Neutralizing antibody titer data for measles are used to demonstrate the biological application of our theory. |

Hi! I'm Kate. I'm a writer. I'm a mom and wife. I'm also a coffee lover, conveniently employed by Starbucks. Make yourself at home. I can't make you a delicious latte here, but I can tell you a story or two, if you let me.
I'm excited to announce that Out of the Game, Book 4 of the In the Zone series, is coming on March 16. It's Alex Sullivan's story. You might remember Alex from On the Surface and Across the Line...wry, witty and just a little slutty. Okay, very slutty.
If you're like me, you enjoy watching these playboy characters meet their matches, because it's funny to watch them realize they're goners when it's usually too late to do anything about it. Out of the Game was a lot of fun to write. I hope it's a lot of fun to read.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article contains instructions, advice, or how-to content. (March 2013) |
A bird dog is a type of gun dog or hunting dog used to hunt or retrieve birds or other small game animals.[1] by tracking their scent in the air. Bird dog breeds are receptive to being trained to retrieve hunted birds.
In the Southern United States the term bird dog refers to dog breeds such as the pointer, English setter, Red setter, German shorthair pointer, Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever, Brittany, and other pointing breeds.
In 1953, William F. Brown, editor of The American Field, compiled the necessary rules and regulations governing elections of the field trial dogs and their owners and trainers to a proposed Field Trial Hall of Fame.[2]
Pre-season training is not as hard as it may seem. As an owner of a bird dog, Tony J. Peterson would recommend more than just walking or running the dog, but also taking the bird dog through water because an owner's pace of walking or running is generally slower than the pace of a dog. Doing this for a week or two is not enough conditioning; in fact he also would advise at least a month prior to season for exercise and conditioning.[3] Just as humans cannot win a race without practice and exercise, dogs also cannot retrieve and stay on task without proper training and conditioning.[3]
Some dog breeds have a more natural feel for the sport and are not hard to find. Web page Pheasants Forever gives an understanding of some dogs that have this feel.[4] The most common bird dog is known as the flusher, use their senses such as eyes and nose to hunt down the upland birds. They're also known to be great water animals. Another breed this website encourages is the Brittany Pointer, or any pointer is fine. This breed has been known to stay close to the hunter yet have great speed for getting on wild game fast and efficiently. The pointer is known to be a strong breed with their thick coat.[4] Another great bird dog is the Retriever; this dog is an all-around good bird dog, this dog will spring up birds from groves and hedges so that the hunter can shoot and the dog will retrieve. This is an option if the hunter wants to use their dog for more than just hunting.[4] As many pointers are very good hunters, the German wirehaired pointer is a specifically nice dog to have because this breed will hunt anything. They do all of the characteristics of the retriever and flusher as well as many more. Then there is always the Golden Retriever whose sole desire is to satisfy its owner and retrieve until there is nothing left to fetch.[4] Pointers, flushers and retrievers are the three most common bird dogs to have.[4]
A hunter must know that being a bird dog hunter takes time and effort to have success. As a bird dog owner, he or she will always take the time to make sure their dog has what it takes. However it is not only the dog that needs to be diligent, it is the owner just as much. As Narini Philip portrays in "It's a dog's life; Opening day", a dog knows his limits and rules that an owner gives.[5] So if the dog has set rules as to where it can sleep and what time it eats, then the dog will be a better hunter as will listen to commands such as fetch, stay or retrieve. Narini has his character portray how important it is to have specific commands for the dog, in his story, the dog knows that when his master calls "toot, toot, toot," it means "come".[5] If a dog does not have exact specific commands it can cause confusion to the owner and the pet. Also to avoid damage to the birds the owner will make sure that the dog knows how "point dead," as Jerome B. Robinson says, otherwise the bird will come back damaged.[6]
A bird dog hunter must know these three things to be successful: one, train the dog pre-season as well as during the season, two, choose the right dog for the right style of hunting, and three, a trainer must know how to properly care for their bird dog. With these three rules of thumb, a hunter should have success in their hunts, as well as the dog.

Changes of Address - American League
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- Though all the free agents haven't signed, it's time to take an early look at who changed teams and/or leagues and how they should do in their new environment.
A new address has different consequences to different players. Some take to their new teams or leagues with ease (see Adrian Gonzalez) and some, like Adam Dunn for the Chicago White Sox last year, fail to ever find their comfort zone and post disastrous numbers.
We begin with the American League. The seven players listed below have all signed with AL clubs. Three are coming from the National League and will need to adapt to many more changes than the four American Leaguers who stayed in the same league but jumped to a different team.
National to American League -
Albert Pujols, St.Louis-to-Anaheim
- If any player can make a seamless shift from one league to another, it's Pujols, the most consistent offensive player of our generation. Pujols is coming off the "worst" season of his 11-year career, but still hit .299 with 37 HR, 99 RBI and an OPS of 0.906. The three- time NL MVP and nine-time All-Star has a lifetime .328 batting average and in an "average Pujols season" hits 40 homers, knocks in 121 and has an OPS of 1.037. He leaves the 2011 World Champion Cardinals for Anaheim where they have superior pitching, but scored just 667 runs. Instead of perennial All- Stars Matt Holliday and Lance Berkman around him, he'll have Torii Hunter, Howie Kendrick and Vernon Wells. So the question is whether "The Machine" can raise their game to his level or they'll be a drag on his numbers. At the Sports Network, we believe it will be the former. Draft Pujols and whoever gets the lucky spot in front of him in the lineup.
Ryan Doumit, Pittsburgh-to-Minnesota
- It was just 2008 when Doumit was an up- and-coming fantasy star off a .318, 15 HR, 69 RBI, season. Those are solid numbers for a fantasy catcher, but he's had trouble staying on the field in the three years since then. From 2009-2011 Doumit missed 210 of 486 games. Still, in the limited time he played last season, he showed the same hitting ability - batting .303 with 8 HR and 30 RBI in just 218 at-bats. His opportunity to get enough at-bats will be the key to his fantasy value in 2012. If Joe Mauer stays healthy, Doumit will need to earn the DH role. The good news there is that with both Michael Cuddyer and Jason Kubel taking their 895 at-bats elsewhere he should see enough playing time to be "fantasy-worthy" and a nice late-round sleeper.
Yuniesky Betancourt, Milwaukee-to-Kansas City
- Betancourt returns to the team he played with in 2009 and 2010, so there should be a nice comfort level. In 2010 he batted .259 with 16 HR and 78 RBI - solid numbers for a shortstop. The problem this time around is that he isn't expected to be the starting shortstop - that job goes to Alcides Escobar. Instead, Betancourt will be the utility infielder and thus probably won't get in the batter's box often enough to be a good fantasy value.
American League to American League -
Fernando Rodney, Anaheim-to-Tampa Bay
- Rodney had a horrible season for Anaheim, going 3-5 with three saves, an ERA of 4.50 and an equally ugly WHIP of 1.69. This is not the Tigers' closer who saved 37 games in 2009 and he is scheduled to be a middle reliever. He should have almost no fantasy value this season.
Jonathon Broxton, Los Angeles-to-Kansas City
- Like Rodney, Broxton was once a top closer who has struggled mightily. He posted an ERA of 5.68 and a WHIP of 1.89 in 14 appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Again, this is not the guy who saved 36 games in 2009 with an ERA of 2.61 and a microscopic WHIP of 0.96. He'll try to be the setup man for Joakim Soria and is a long way from the dominant pitcher he once was.
Joe Nathan, Minnesota-to-Texas
- Nathan is just a couple years removed from Tommy John surgery and struggled for the first half of 2011. Hoever, after returning from a muscle strain in late June, he posted an ERA of 3.38 and an opposing batting average of just .193 the rest of the way. He was impressive enough that the Rangers signed him to the closer role and are shifting talented Neftali Feliz to a starter for 2012. While having another quality closer on the roster does lend some risk to drafting Nathan, six consecutive years of at least 36 saves and a career ERA of 2.87 make him a solid fantasy option.
C.J. Wilson, Texas-to-Anaheim
- Wilson (16-7, 2.94 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) goes from being the "ace" of the Rangers staff, to the No.3 starter's role in Anaheim behind Jered Weaver (18-8, 2.41 ERA, 1.01 WHIP) and Dan Haren (16-10, 3.17 ERA, 1.02 WHIP). Matched up against the other team's third-best pitcher should be a huge advantage for the Angels and Wilson. Wilson posted career marks of 3.60 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in the hitters' paradise known as the Ballpark at Arlington and should be more effective playing half his games in Angel Stadium.

Force of Nature: The Unlikely Story of Wal-Mart's Green Revolution (Hardcover)
What happens when a renowned river guide teams up with the CEO of one of the largest and least Earth-friendly corporations in the world? When it's former Wal-Mart CEO H. Lee Scott and white-water expert turned sustainability consultant Jib Ellison, the result is nothing less than a green business revolution.
Wal-Martlong the target of local businesses, labor advocates, and environmentalists who deplore its outsourced, big-box methodshas embraced an unprecedented green makeover, which is now spreading worldwide. The retail giant that rose from Sam Walton's Ozarks dime store is leveraging the power of 200 million weekly customers to drive waste, toxics, and carbon emissions out of its stores and products. Neither an act of charity nor an empty greenwash, Wal-Mart's green move reflects its river guide's simple, compelling philosophy: that the most sustainable, clean, energy-efficient, and waste-free company will beat its competitors every time. Not just in some distant, utopian future but today.
From energy conservation, recycling, and hybrid trucks to reduced packaging and partnerships with environmentalists it once met only in court, Wal-Mart has used sustainability to boost its bottom line even in a tough economybelying the age-old claim that going green kills jobs and profits. Now the global apparel business, the American dairy industry, big agriculture, and even Wall Street are following Wal-Mart's lead, along with the 100,000 manufacturers whose products must become more sustainable to remain on Wal-Mart's shelves. Here Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author Edward Humes charts the course of this unlikely second industrial revolution, in which corporate titans who once believed profit and planet must be at odds are learning that the best business just may be a force of nature.

Social media includes web-based and mobile technologies used to turn communication into interactive dialog between organizations, communities, and individuals. Social media tool is what businesses turn these technologies into. Companies have taken steps to take their marketing campaigns to the next level with the help of these social media tools.
One of these tools for Twitter in particular is to pay for more followers. Twitter has become a huge social network and companies are always looking to increase their reach. Buying Twitter followers gets results, and this is what marketers want. This is why purchasing more Twitter followers has become commonplace.
Traditional media that we have known our whole lives have transformed into what people can now use as a social media tool. It is everywhere. One cannot last a day without coming across the chance to interact with a family or friend through social media. It's in our homes, places of worship, schools and, of course, and our businesses. Everywhere you look; people are using social media and are talking about it. And it seems that every week a new type of social site pops up. As the range of what services they can perform widens, the tighter the grip social media has with people.
Marketing have enjoyed this kind of revolution before. Technology has made strides to make things better in many industries, but it is especially true for marketing. The act of spreading a word for an individual, product, services or organization is not easy. Influencing people by providing content which impacts positively in their minds is basically what they're trying to do.
In the past there was only print media. If you wanted to let people know of what you offer as a business, you would need to rely on newspapers, flyers and posters. This method however compares poorly with what we have at our disposal nowadays. The cost of printing is too expensive if one needs to reach places outside of just your local area.
The price it takes to make a marketing campaign successful with print ads far outweighs other social media tool. It would be a great mistake today to still solely use print media for your marketing needs. The reach social media tool has today with people is just a fraction of what is. Studies show that the young generation is very slow at adopting the habit of picking up a newspaper in the morning.
Looking at it on the young generation's perspective, it is a bit redundant to get newspapers or subscribe to a magazine if you already have an internet connection readily available. One cannot get any interaction with these media outlets. Interaction is what puts "social" in social media tool to make it more appealing to a broader audience.
Websites offers videos, photos, text and applications are all social media tools. Print media can only present us with two of those. The generation in this new era simply would rather just turn on a computer than to turn the pages of a newspaper. Technology now provides us with limitless possibilities as we now have social media tools.
It does the job of Desktop computers as far as browsing the web is concerned although it is much more portable. Its portability can even now be compared to a newspaper with the latest models that we have seen in the market today. The social media tool we have today not only makes our lives easier but also makes marketing far more effective.

AREVA and Gamesa Signed Binding Agreements for the Creation of a Global Leader in the Offshore Wind Segment *The joint venture will develop exclusively both partners' offshore activities. *The new company will be ideally positioned to become a leading player in the offshore wind segment, with a 2.8 GW pipeline and the objective of garnering a market share of close to 20% in Europe by 2020. Business Wire MADRID & PARIS -- July 7, 2014 Regulatory News : Gamesa and AREVA (Paris:AREVA) signed binding agreements for the creation of a joint venture in the promising offshore wind energy industry, culminating the exclusive talks initiated last January. The new company will be ideally positioned to become a leading player in the offshore wind segment with a 2.8 GW pipeline and the objective of garnering a market share close to 20% in Europe by 2020. The closing of the transaction is expected to be secured by the fourth quarter of this year, subject to the approval by the French Government and the relevant competition authorities in Europe and other jurisdictions. The 50/50 joint venture will combine both groups' offshore business: technological and manufacturing expertise and extensive track records in the wind industry. Areva has succesfully developped a dedicated offshore wind turbine since 2004, reaching a 630 MW offshore installed base by the end of 2014. while Gamesa brings its technological know how, underpinned by a 20-year track record in the entire value chain. More specifically, Gamesa will contribute the following assets to the new joint venture, valued at €195 million: *Its 5 MW offshore platform. *Offshore R&D knowledge transfer and license of the onshore technology which can be applied offshore. *Extensive Operations & Maintenance prowess, with 20 GW of onshore capacity under maintenance. *Its industrial know-how and supply chain access, both of which are key to cost streamlining. AREVA will contributeassets valued at €280 million (including working capital of current business, currently estimated at €70 million, amount to be confirmed at closing of transaction): *Its 5 and 8 MW offshore platforms. *A 2.8 GW pipeline, the offshore market's second largest. *Offshore R&D and engineering knowledge transfer. *Dedicated offshore manufacturing and logistics capabilities, specifically its industrial and logistics centres in Bremerhaven (turbine assembly) and Stade (blades), both in Germany. In addition, the agreements envisage making Gamesa a preferred supplier of parts to the joint venture. The new company will be ideally positioned to become a leading player in the offshore wind segment: it expects to garner an expanding market share in Europe by 2020, underpinned by its pipeline, with projects in Germany, France and UK. Europe is the main offshore market, where installed capacity is expected to exceed 25 GW in 2020. From the outset, the joint venture will boast numerous committed customers amongst which Iberdrola and the GDF Suez-EDPR-Neoen Marine consortium. The joint venture is also well positioned, thanks to both partners extensive track record to take advantage from the great potential of the Asian market, where forecasts indicate an installed capacity of 18 GW within the same time horizon. The joint venture will have two 5 MW platforms, which will allow the new company to address market requests with greater flexibility. It will work on the optimization of the AREVA's M5000, as well as Gamesa's 5.0 MW offshore turbines. The joint venture will also further develop its upcoming 8 MW platform, in order to continue to be a driving force in lowering the levelized cost of energy of offshore wind. The joint venture will benefit from the recently won 1 GW pipeline in France's offshore round 2, where the 8 MW is set to be installed by 2021. The JV will fulfill existing industrial development commitments both in France and UK, that have up until now been led by AREVA, which notably include the creation of a turbine assembly and blades manufacturing plants at Le Havre and the implementation in France of a network of sub-contractors and partners. The joint venture will have registered headquarters in Zamudio (Vizcaya, Spain), while Executive Committee will be based in Paris. Board of Directors will have eight members, four appointed by each of Gamesa and Areva. Xabier Etxeberria, Gamesa's Business CEO, will be the joint venture's Chairman of the Board.

Jessica Alba Bikini Pregnant Photos
Jessica Alba Shows Her Baby Bump in a Bikini While on Vacation in Mexico!
Jessica Alba wore a two piece and a Theodora & Callum scarf as a sarong to hit the beach in Mexico yesterday. The mom-to-be had a group of girlfriends on hand for the getaway, and her first child, Honor, was also there to join in on the fun. The actress seems to be having a blast with her pals, but she sent a funny tweet to Nicole Richie and Kelly Sawyer, saying she wished they were south of the border, too. Jessica was just in LA over the weekend, celebrating Mother's Day with her husband, Cash Warren, and Honor. It was Jessica's last as a mother of just one child, since by this time next year, she and Cash will have another bundle of joy. There was another occasion for Jessica to mark with family, as she also turned 30 recently on April 28 — and we marked her three-decade milestone by looking back at Jessica Alba's hottest bikini moments.

Updated: August 8, 2011, 12:48 AM ET
By David Grening | Daily Racing Form

Following the Haskell, in which Shackleford was beaten a neck by Coil, Romans indicated he was also going to consider the Woodward against older horses here on Sept. 3. "Right now I'm leaning strongly toward the Travers," Romans said. "Bottom line the Travers is the Travers. We can run ...Read full story

First portrait share

Don't care for the first one. Too much distracting stuff that is brighter than the subject. If the photo is about the eyes, they should be the brightest thing in the picture.
I do like the second one, but it should be cropped much tighter. Everything to the left is distracting, all the more because it is out of focus.
I can see what you're saying about the first photo, but I only saw it after having read what you wrote. Those details don't matter to me. The subject's expression is so confident and engaging that the image is very strong in my opinion. To be clear, when I say the details don't matter to me, I'm not saying that you shouldn't discuss them. This is a photography forum and those comments are certainly helpful. I'm just saying that for me, the personality that was captured in this photo trumps any technical details. She is ready to rule the world.
I don't like the second one as much. The main issue I have is that there's not enough smoke to be visually interesting, but it's prominent enough to distract from the eyes and kill some of the intensity. I also agree that the stuff on the left is distracting, particularly in the lower half. The natural light is really good though.
Hopefully more people will comment. I'm interested to hear other opinions on these.

Voters searching for differences between Minnesota Senate candidates in Districts 8 and 12 found plenty to mull over Monday night. The office seekers clashed over the environment, renewable energy, the state budget, health care reform, the effectiveness of the last legislative session and more. The exchanges took place at a legislative candidate forum at the Alexandria Technical and Community College that was sponsored by the Alexandria Area Economic Development Commission and the Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce. About 110 people attended the forum, including the candidates: Repub
A new way of flowing traffic in and around Highway 29 just south of the Interstate 94 interchange is being proposed - a "roundabout" intersection. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) met with city and county leaders this week to talk about placing the roundabout on Highway 29 South and County Roads 28 (the road to Lake Andrew) and 87 (that leads to Central Specialties and the shooting range). Designed to lower the incidents of crashes, roundabouts direct traffic into a one-way, counter-clockwise flow around a central island.
Once upon a time, there was a huge gathering of everyone in the village who ate bowl after bowl of a magical concoction called chili. One of the chilis, "Satan's Ice Cream," was hotter than a fire-breathing dragon. Others were not too hot or not too cold. They were just right. Some chilis, which were not red in color like the others, contained an unusual blend of spices and ingredients not found in this part of the kingdom. Many of those serving the chili were dressed in flowing garments and had their faces decorated as the fairest in the land.
Are you ready to vote? Residents throughout Douglas County will have some key decisions to make come Election Day, November 6. The purpose of this Voters Guide is to help residents be more prepared when they're handed their ballots. The guide contains questions-and-answers from candidates on the local, state and national level, as well as voting and precinct information. The stakes are high for the 2012 election. Not only will voters cast their ballots for president and U.S.
It's time to turn the spotlight on a problem that's too often shrouded in secrecy and shame: domestic violence. As part of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Douglas County is joining thousands of communities across the nation in stopping the cycle of abuse. It happens more often than people like to admit: One in four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime, and an estimated 30 to 60 percent of the perpetrators also abuse children in the household.

Friday morning brought bad news for the Alexandria Park Department. A staff person was doing a regular garbage and restroom check at the Alexandria City Park when he came upon significant damage. All the partition doors were either knocked off, bent or broken. Vandals also destroyed a sink, hand towel dispensers and toilet paper dispensers. The damage estimates are about $4,000 for materials alone, according to Bill Thoennes, park director. The restrooms, which opened in the spring of 2008, will be closed until further notice, possibly until next spring. "This is a senseless act of viole
Firefighters are teaching it. Kids are talking about it. Families are practicing it. October 7-13 is National Fire Prevention Week - a time when area fire departments bring their safety message into schools, homes and businesses and at fire stations as well. The Osakis Fire Department hosted an open house on Sunday. Children explored the Douglas County Fire Chiefs' Safety House to learn about preventing kitchen fires and how to escape a smoke-filled room.
Alexandria City Council members will meet with Douglas County commissioners tomorrow, Wednesday, to talk about a new way of flowing traffic in and around Highway 29 just south of the Interstate 94 interchange. Officials with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will lead the meeting.
A 42-year-old Alexandria man died following a one-vehicle crash on Highway 29 Friday night. Kyle Neitzert was driving his 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT2 north, just south of the intersection with County Road 13 at about 10:30 p.m. when he lost control of the vehicle, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. The car went off the road, through a field and into a grove of trees. Neitzert, who was wearing a seat belt, was taken to the Douglas County Hospital, where he died the following day. Memorial services will be held Friday, October 5 at 11 a.m.
