Pregame notes from Dunedin
Greetings from Florida Auto Exchange Stadium, where the Orioles will take on the Blue Jays. Manager Buck Showalter just met with the media and here are some of the highlights…
*Ryan Webb (knee) threw today and felt a lot better. He's inching toward a bullpen session, which could happen next week, and help clear him to get back into games.
*Paul Janish is fully cleared and Showalter talked with him today about possibly DH'ing in the B game Sunday and Puerto Rico game on Saturday on the back fields. He could also get into the field at some point.
Speaking of the PR game, Showalter plans to pitch Tommy Hunter and Chris Tillman in that. Zach Britton and Kevin Gausman will pitch in the B game on Sunday, with Britton possibly going multiple innings.
*Saturday's pitching schedule against the Rays includes Brian Matusz –who is starting to help him work on his changeup– along with Darren O'Day, Wesley Wright, Tim Berry and Logan Verrett. Mike Wright and Steve Johnson are among those slated to go to Bradenton on Sunday.
*Bud Norris was not on the medical sheet today, and the Orioles aren't aware of any kind of physical issue, Showalter said. Norris mentioned after Thursday's start that he had a back flare-up.
"I really didn't feel that great after my last one," Norris said. "My back and stuff kind of flared up, but I felt good, really good now. I'm hoping the next [few] days progress well and [I] get another side [session] in and be ready to go on — I believe — Tuesday."
Upcoming Os pitching schedule
Hunter Harvey and Dylan Bundy are among those who are making the trip to Jupiter, Fla. for Thursday's game, which will be started by Bud Norris. Right-hander Brad Brach and lefty Mark Hendrickson are also listed to pitch.
Ubaldo Jimenez will start Friday's game against the Blue Jays in Dunedin, with T.J. McFarland, Tyler Wilson, Steve Johnson and Eddie Gamboa also scheduled. Saturday's game will be started by Brian Matusz at home against the Rays, with Wei-Yin Chen starting on Sunday.
Kevin Gausman will pitch in a "B" game on Sunday, which will be seven innings.
More pregame notes
Orioles pitcher Chris Tillman will start Saturday's game against Puerto Rican development program team on the back fields at Ed Smith Stadium. Matt Wieters, as scheduled earlier, will catch the game and manager Buck Showalter said it's not a ploy to have Tillman avoid the O's scheduled spring opponent, the Rays.
"[Pitching coach Dave Wallace] Wally liked to be able to control the environment a little bit," Showalter said of the game, which will start at 2 p.m. "I'm kind of over that keeping him away from people. There's no secrets here. Tillman has pitched how many games against [Tampa Bay]. Sometimes he might pick up something from them. Chances are he's not going to see a lot of guys in that [regular]lineup anyway."
Wieters is slated to catch 5-7 innings, though that's subjected to change based off feel. He will also pitch on Sunday in the "B" game.
There are no plans yet for Steve Pearce to play third base though it remains an option and in the back of Showalter's mind. It's an unusual spring for Pearce, who isn't fighting to make the club and hasn't been a regular fixture on road games because he's a veteran.
"He will get plenty of [playing time], we are still three weeks away," Showalter said of the challenge of holding back Pearce, who has always had to fight for a spot, a little bit in camp. "You don't want to take away from who he really is. I've had a lot of players like that, that's what made them good was knowing they worked harder and were more prepared. But with Steve, if he wasn't starting he'd probably take 100 swings in the cage over the course of the game to be ready for that one at-bat to help the team. And now if he's doing that and playing five or six days a week that's counterproductive. I think it helped him stay healthy last year. When a guy has more problems with his wrist when he's on the bench and not playing every day as opposed to when he's playing every day, you know how much work he's doing. We hear a constant ding in there, balls going off the cage. We all know who it is."
Early pregame notes…
Not much news pregame, but here is the lineup for the final of a three-game spring homestand.
Ryan Webb continues to get treatment on his left knee, so there's not a whole lot new there. Once the swelling is out, they can start to test things a bit more. Chris Davis is back in right field with Caleb Joseph behind the plate. Matt Wieters is DH'ing and none of the regulars are expected to play in Thursday's game in Jupiter. A bunch of them could get back-to-back rest days with Friday's game in Dunedin.

Chen showcases new changeup grip
SARASOTA, Fla.— Orioles lefty Wei-Yin Chen pitched three scoreless innings on Tuesday, showcasing a new changeup that he hopes can be part of his repertoire in 2015.
"Last year, I was throwing a circle change," Chen said through his interpreter. "This year, I try a grip that's more like a palmball and hopefully that will get my velocity more consistent. I'm going to try to see how it works."
Chen said he will throw more changeups than he typically does in Spring Training as he's been working with pitching coach Dave Wallace on establishing more of a difference in velocity between his change and fastball. As for the grip, it's something that he was taught by special assignment pitching instructor Ramon Martinez.
"So far, it's not bad," Chen said of the new grip. "My velocity when I'm throwing my circle change, my body tends to fly open, but this year with this grip, it doesn't. So far, it's pretty good."
Against the Yankees, Chen allowed one hit and struck out two in the afternoon contest at Ed Smith Stadium. He hasn't allowed a run in five spring innings.

Wieters update
SARASOTA, Fla.— Orioles catcher Matt Wieters started at designated hitter again on Tuesday, going back-to-back for the first time this spring as he continues to creep closer to his first start behind the plate
"The thing is getting everything else in shape where nothing else is going to get fatigued," said Wieters, who is slated to make his catching debut March 17, nine months after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his throwing elbow. "Try to keep the arm as strong as possible, as long as possible. And that will be kind of the battle during the beginning of the year, making sure the arm doesn't get tired and I start using bad throwing mechanics to where I could possibly hurt it again. And that's the biggest thing, keeping it where it's strong enough and fresh enough where I feel like I can throw at anytime."
Wieters has been throwing down to the bases for about a week at 70-80 percent, trying to simulate game situations as much as possible. When March 17 comes, assuming there are no setbacks, he will be able to throw full-throttle down to the bases.
"It's different with adrenaline when an actual baserunner takes off on you," he said, "but we are going to cross off as many question marks as we can before the game."
The All-Star catcher said knowing he was going to be able to serve at DH early on in camp should also help him find his timing. Wieters last played in a Major League game in May.
"I knew that it was going to be, I was going to have the at-bats in Spring Training where it wasn't going to be, 'OK I feel like I really need to get going here,'" said Wieters, who is among several guys manager Buck Showalter plans to give plenty of spring playing time to. "It's a long process and you are always going to want to get hits, I don't care if you're hitting BP or in a game. But as far as going out there and making sure I can take full swings, cut it loose and know the elbow is going to be fine, mentally is big for me."
Webb's MRI comes back clean
SARASOTA, Fla.— Orioles reliever Ryan Webb had an MRI on his left knee on Monday that came back structurally OK and he's day-to-day.
"I was playing catch and it kind of came up feeling funny for a second," Webb said of the injury, which occurred during Sunday's workout. "I was shaking it out and playing catch, finished doing the PFP drills and I came in and said it felt like I tweaked it. They took a look at it and iced it and iced it for the rest of the day and the swelling came up a little bit. We think I had a reaction to the ice so it swelled more than it should have."
Webb, who was getting electronic stimulation on the area instead, said he doesn't have any history with knee issues and was relieved the MRI came back clean.
"I was a little worried there for a second because it swelled up pretty bad, but I was thinking I didn't do anything bad…couldn't have been anything too serious," he said. "It's a big relief."
Orioles cut 5
SARASOTA, Fla.— The Orioles trimmed their spring roster by five on Monday afternoon, optioning right-handed pitcher Oliver Drake to Triple-A Norfolk and reassigning infielder Michael Almanzar, catcher Brian Ward and pitchers Dane De La Rosa and Chris Jones to Minor League camp.
With these moves, the Orioles now have 52 players at Major League Spring Training, including 12 non-roster invitees.
De La Rosa never pitched, while Jones appeared twice and allowed one run over 2 2/3 innings. Drake allowed four earned runs over 1 1/3 innings.
Ward went 2-for-4 at the plate while Almanzar went 2-for-5 with a homer.
Webb injures knee
SARASOTA, Fla.— Reliever Ryan Webb injured his left knee during Sunday's workout and will be sideline at least a few days, according to manager Buck Showalter.
"He's not real sure how or when he did it, but he's got swelling," Showalter said of Webb's injury which could require X-rays. "He's going to be down for a while.
"He'll probably get some pictures on it and see what we've got. They're waiting for one of the doctors to look at it first."
Webb doesn't have any history of knee problems according to Showalter and the team is still waiting to officially diagnose the injury and timeframe for his return.

Over on my blog this evening, I noted that Philippines I based fast food chain Jollibee was set to open its first Canadian location later this year in Toronto. Apparently part of the chain's plans for global exchange expansion, with more locations slated to open up in the United States, Europe, Japan, and the Middle East, the Toronto restaurant is being created as part of a diaspora events red strategy. instead of competing head-on with established chains, for the foreseeable future Jollibee in Canada--and elsewhere?--will be targeting communities with larger Filipino populations. Already familiar with the chain, the thinking seems to be that these communities will hopefully serve as the base for future growth.
This strategy makes sense to me. Is Jollibee's expansion globally based on a similar strategy? If so, I wonder if a South Korea with its own rapidly growing ties with the Philippines might also be targeted. One strategy common to many immigrant groups around the world, as they grow in number and start to become business owners s, is to specialize in food. To the best of my knowledge, Jollibee is unique in being a fast food chain. Are there comparable cases elsewhere in the world that I am missing? I am quite curious. I also wonder if, given likely future growth in Filipino-originating communities around the world, Jollibee might be a good investment.

Two news articles on the demographic exception that is France
Tonight I thought I'd share two links to English-language articles taking a look at the demographic exception that is France, specifically to a period TFR now somewhat higher than the United States'.
The first is Noah Smith's Bloomberg View article "Fixing America's Baby Bust". In this article, the United States is contrasted negatively with France.
What is France's secret sauce? It helps to think about the reasons that it's so hard to raise a family in a developed country. Raising a kid costs huge amounts of money. First of all, you probably have to get a bigger house. Food and transportation are big expenses. Health care, including extras like braces, takes a big bite. And then there's college, which is becoming out of reach for more and more families.
But the biggest cost of raising a child may simply be time. Time that you spend taking care of the kids is time that you don't spend at work earning money. In the ideal situation, both parents would have flexible work situations, and both would take time off to share child-care duties. Unfortunately, most of us don't live that dream. Many have rigid work schedules, and often put in many extra hours at home or at the office -- Americans work longer hours than almost anyone in the developed world. And many are single parents. What that means is that a lot of American parents are forced to make an all-or-nothing choice between the workplace and child care.
The demanding U.S. workplace may also be preventing women from fully joining the workforce. French women don't just have more babies than American women, they also are more likely to get a job. The U.S., which was a leader in female labor force participation in the 1990s, has fallen behind. These days, even Japanese women are more likely to work than their American counterparts.
The second, longer article is over at The Guardian, Anne Chemin's "France's baby boom secret: get women into work and ditch rigid family norms". Drawing heavily on interviewers with French demographers, it makes the argument that polities and cultures which exhibit greater flexibility around the idea of what a family could be are likely to see greater rates of family formation and reproduction than their more rigid counterparts.
[T]here is nothing mysterious about the approach that is working in both France and Scandinavia. It combines the idea of a modern family based on gender equality and powerful government policies. "Nowadays, both ingredients are needed to sustain the population," Lesthaeghe asserts. "At first sight it seems a simple recipe, but it's far from easy to put into practice: it takes a lot of time to design and establish a new family model."
There is nothing straightforward or natural about "the family". It is a very complex world based on social norms, what the American sociologist Ronald Rindfuss calls the "family package". "In Japan, for instance, this package involves many constraints," says Ined demographer Laurent Toulemon. "A woman entering into a relationship must also accept marriage, obey her husband, have a child, stop working after it is born and make room for her ageing in-laws. It's a case of all or nothing. In France the package is more flexible: one doesn't have to get married or have children. Norms are more open and families more diverse."
Most countries in southern Europe are based on something akin to the Japanese package, with fairly rigid family norms in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta and Greece. There is social pressure on women not to work while their children are still young, just as it is ill-thought of to live with someone or have a baby outside wedlock. In all these countries the proportion of births outside marriage is below 30%, whereas in France, Sweden and Norway it exceeds 50%. In Japan the traditional family package clearly has a dramatic impact on fertility, with fewer than 1.4 births per woman.
The picture is very different in Scandinavia and France. "In these countries the family norm is much more flexible, with late marriages, reconstituted families, single parents, much more frequent births outside marriage and divorces than further south," Toulemon adds. "People are far less concerned about the outlook for the family [as an institution]." The positive impact of this open-ended approach to families on fertility is borne out by the statistics, at more than 1.8 children per woman in Sweden, Norway, Finland and France.
The principle of gender equality and the necessary corollary of women being free to work are the key factors in this family model that emerged at the end of the 20th century. Yet in the 1960s-70s advocates of traditional family values claimed that the birthrate would be the first thing to suffer from this trend. Fifty years on it seems they were mistaken: fertility in Europe is higher in countries where women go out to work, lower in those where they generally stay at home. "Women's freedom of decision is essential to this system," Toulemon asserts.
The underlying theme of both of these articles is the question of whether or not what we might call the Franco-Nordic model can be copied easily, to other European countries, to high-income East Asia (Chemin specifically mentions Japan and South Korea), and beyond. An additional, interesting, question is whether or not this would make a difference. Even if Germany did switch tomorrow to the high-fertility French model, there would still be much demographic momentum tending towards poulation decline needing to be overcome. Thoughts?

On the case of Open Borders
Last Monday at the American libertarian blog The Volokh Conspiracy, Ilya Somin made a post announcing his support for the thesis of the Open Borders NGO that migration should be as unhindered as possible. Linking to various authors' arguments in favour of this thesis, Somin makes the argument that the tendency worldwide should be not to raise barriers to migration but to lower them.
As the Open Borders Manifesto notes, and as I have said in the past, most open borders advocates do not claim that the right to free migration is absolute and always trumps opposing considerations. Just as I reject absolute property rights or absolute freedom of speech, so too I reject absolute rights to free migration. But we do believe there should be a strong presumption in favor of free migration that can only be overcome by strong evidence that restriction is the only way to prevent a harm great enough to outweigh the vast benefits of freedom to natives and migrants alike.
Many of the commenters at the Volokh Conspiracy are unconvinced, arguing that the author underestimates the costs involved. I myself am undecided about the thesis: There do seem to be great potential gains in GDP globally if there was a freer global market in labour alongside other global markets, but I'm also quite aware that there could be significant political costs if these associated migrations ever became problematic.
What do you, readers of Demography Matters, think of the argument?

I need to find my days back.
I enjoyed my taste and delicious track.
It's hard to say, I can stay,
Nowhere, anywhere, anywhere.
Time is passing and never realised,
I want to live what's human pride,
I want to grow, checking my size,
Walking and talking, running a race,
My target is only to find an easy trace.
Here and there, there and here,
what's mine looking everywhere?
But ignoring others and hesitating to share.
Doing wrongs and talking about fair.

PSP Price Drop Official 91
from the now-more-reasonably-out-of-reach dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Puzzle Quest is everything it was hyped to be and then some. It's currently my favorite game on the PSP, and I don't see it getting dethroned any time soon.
But wasn't it released for the Nintendo DS [amazon.com], too? Is the PSP version *that* much better?
Because of a mislabeling in advertisement. The console itself was 250€, but according to the advertisement it came with three free games that were still sold 50€ a pop. By now those games are cheaper... Of course, that advertisement was gone next time I passed by that store
And that was when I wasn't using my IPOD. I have movies which I've watched already, and a few games that suck.
Lucky you! I have ten of them lying around. Never even booted them up, they just look so shitty!
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who buys stuff he doesn't want and then keeps it just so he can troll about it on
What am I supposed to do with this thing?
Admit that you made a mistake, figure out how much you can sell it for, and if it's still worth more to you than the unit's entertainment value (in your personal opinion), take the money.
Yeah, it probably sucks if you're taking a major loss over the original price, but if the alternative is that it gets shut away in a drawer and never used, you're effectively wasting the *whole* price anyway; it's just taking up space and its value will inevitably fall further.

Sounds like the switch is failing. I would check the input signals to the relay to be sure though.
Answer #2Visitor, November 16, 2010, 14:25
The relay may need to be replaced completely.
I had a similar problem with my horn a year ago,
where it would remain once hitting it, so I replaced
the relay. The relay should be located in the fuse
box in your engine bay.

Bassnectar Remixes Joker's "Midnight"Posted in Bangin by Bryan | Tags: Bass, Bassnectar, Dubstep, Joker, Remix
When experimental low-end aficionado Bassnectar throws his production weight into a remix, the outcome can spark a wave of activity in and outside of dance music's maturing community. The talented visionary has an unique knack for drawing connections to past genre's while breaking ground across the bass spectrum, and this remix is no exception. Bassnectar casts an inventive spell over Dubstep pioneer Joker's track "Midnight" by placing dreamy guitar riffs, frenzied kick and snare elements, and deep scoops of melodic bass into the original.
This saw a release in Europe a few months ago along with a Rustie remix but we are happy see it finally be released in the US. You can now pick up on iTunes and stream the full song below. Enjoy!

Canadian producer duo Adventure Club are notorious at creating melodic anthems that can fill out festival stages and clubs across the world. The list of notable hits is too long to name with their most recent hard hitting "Gold". Never one to keep fans waiting long for music, Adventure Club's new single "Fade" is an uplifting dubstep structured heater, rinsed with grimey electro synths growls throughout, and stamped with Zak Waters vocals shining bright.

Figure Set To Embark On Unique Horror Themed Terrorvision Tour!Posted in Bangin, Events, News by nick | Tags: Bass, Dubstep, Electro, Figure, Monsters, Terrorvision, Tour
Bass enthusiast and lover of all things hard as shit, Figure has announced a very special run of fall shows being dubbed "Terrorvision" kicking off October 17th. These run of shows will be unlike any peformance you've seen to date with Figure incorporating horror film footage to every single one of the songs in his sets. The partnership with Rane / Serato is certainly something you don't want to miss as it will be a unique live visual experience, which is inspired from his Monsters themes. Look at the teaser of the tour below and read what Figure had to say about the upcoming string of shows. Tour dates for the entire run are listed below with some exclusive limited pre-sale tickets available for purchase today while supplies last. Also you can expect Figure's upcoming Monsters volume 5 dorpping on October 14th.
Purchase tickets for the Terrorvision Tour Here!
Here is a quote from Figure himself about his vision of the tour.
Terrorvision has been a concept I've been putting together for some time now, something I thought would go really well with my annual Monsters series.
I wanted to create the ability to compile tons of custom edited clips the same way I have compiled tons of music for my sets over the years. I'm a horror buff and I've amassed an extensive collection of classic shock theatre and obscure films which is definitely an inspiration for the visual direction on this tour.
Through partnering with Rane/Serato and using their hardware I now have the ability to map these custom visuals to my music on the fly, adding a brand new element to my live show. Many artists look at visuals as a way to simply customize the blank slates of wall behind them. With Terrorvision it's another dimension of my music. An intense visual backdrop giving my fans a window into where i draw inspiration; my vision as a producer, coming together on stage where the visuals brings it all to life.
Figure "Terrorvision" Tour dates after the jump.

When you're a child, you always get the same question:
What would you like to be when you grow up?"
Unfortunately for me, that question held my whole world. When I was a small child, I was obsessed with all things marine life. From dolphins to sharks, even down to the tiniest little creatures and plants, everything about it just seemed to fascinate me like no other. When I was in high school and started to get the question: "What are you going to go to college for?" I always responded: Marine Biology. I had it all planned out: summer internships with Sea World in Orlanda, major in Biology, move on to be a Marine Biologist, spend the rest of my life chasing dolphins and swimming with whales. I've swam with Bull Sharks in Mexico and played with dolphins. I've seen Humpback Whales up close and personal and even snorkeled amongst it all in Cancun. It all seemed so fantastic and so within reach. That is, until I fell in love.
Now please, don't get me wrong. Being in love has been THE best thing I've ever experienced in my life and I (by far) wouldn't trade it in for the world. It's just that when I met my husband, I really thought I had it all planned out. I thought I'd be in Florida or California or, hell, even Hawaii by now. Never in a million years did I dream that I'd be in New Orleans, Louisiana. Things just seem to have a way of working out the way you never expected but wouldn't mind. I guess at that time I never played with the idea of marriage and I certainly didn't plan on meeting my prince charming the first day of college (once again, not that I mind!)
Today, I have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Marketing. That's right, Marketing – which couldn't be further from Marine Biology even if I tried. I'm certainly very proud of my degree and love what I do. I've been offered amazing opportunities that I couldn't wait to take and not so amazing ones that I was forced to take. When I started this blog, I did it for fun. Now, I do it because I'm addicted and because I absolutely love feeling like I can throw everything I'm thinking onto this little page and it somehow resonates with all of you who feel the same as me.
Never in a million years did I think I'd be a fashion blogger – no, that just wasn't me. It wasn't in my "plan." The funny thing is: plans change. You want to make God laugh? Tell him those plans you think you've got all figured out. You have no control over them, but He does. I never thought that the most difficult part of being a fashion blogger would be simply standing out. Like the title, I feel like sometimes I'm in a room filled with others who have the same dream of being a big time fashion blogger, jumping up and down yelling "hey, look at me, over here!" Some days those feelings overwhelm me and other days I'm okay with it. Truth is, I know that it takes time. I guess sometimes you just get tired of waiting.
Over the past few times that I've posted Blogging 101 tips, I've received a million emails from my readers. Some of you wanted to thank me for sharing, some of you wanted a little advice, but most of you really just want to know how to stand out. When you think of the way that fashion blogging has taken over, there really is no good way of standing out in this huge relatively new horizon. I guess my best advice would be to be yourself. We don't need a million Atlantic-Pacifics or Julia Engels. We need you. If we were all the same, Old Navy, Banana Republic, J. Crew, and Forever 21 would be the only stores standing right now. Be yourself, work hard, and stop over thinking and over analyzing every single social media move you make.
If you've ever read http://www.ManRepeller.com or http://www.ProFreshStyle.com, these ladies don't give a f**k what anyone thinks. I mean really, they cuss their heads off – but they're REAL. That's what really brings in the readers. Whether you didn't end up where you had once thought you'd be or you're there already, just know that life has it's funny way of working out. Sometimes it just takes time and a lot of hard work. In the end, those who are still left standing are those who wanted it so bad they thought of nothing else.
And, when you feel like giving up, you can all always email me for a vent sesh @ email@example.com.
Thanks for reading, xo

There is no screening process for people who want to move in at all, and severe psychiatric cases as well as gravely disabled people are accepted into residency without staff being informed or trained to be able to care for them. The only worries Sunrise seems to have are about money, employees get no bonuses and insultingly small raises each year that add up to pennies extra per hour.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Ipomea (Morning glory)
I saved some seed of Ipomea caerulea (the sky-blue one)about 6 months ago and sowed it in the garden about 6 weeks ago - after the first Spring rain. We have a subropical climate. I didn't want to do it earlier as the "winter" is very dry. None has germinated. Morning glory grows like a weed here generally. Is it because I kept the seed too long?
Fraser. I prepare Morning Glory seeds the same as Karyn.
When seeds are planted directly in the ground, they can take up to 2-months before germinating.
A blue MG is hardy and invasive here. They pop up around June, weeks before newly sown MG seeds do.
Be patient. It they don't sprout 3-4 weeks from now, they're probably infertile.
Are seeds firm? Toni
I soak the seeds in tepid water for about half a day and then germinate them indoors in a homemade seed starter. They usually sprout in a few days. After establishment they aren't hard to keep watered, (the winters are dry here in south Florida too). I just have to cover them if we get one of those Florida cold snaps.
I just planted some Scarlett O'haras, (reddish pink). We'll see how they like FL summers. :)

I worked at Wyndham VacationPros
The pay is excellent and the benefits are exemplary. The guests are all amazing and their is opportunity to provide excellent customer service for those who choose to exercise it. Also the corporate training is good just not the on site.Cons
if it wasn't for the poor management of staff and the hiring of unqualified senior staff it would be an excellent environment to work in. Upper management doesn't take interest in the management of the front desk until they feel someone from corporate is coming and they have to show off or the reviews haven't been good enough from the guests. Everyone in that particular resort is in dire need of positive reinforcement training and training on how to eliminate cronyism because it is rampant and effects the overall morale of what would be excellent employees.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Pay attention to whom is being promoted and for which reasons, also play a more active role in guest services in general instead of picking up the pieces of the aftermath.Doesn't RecommendApproves of CEO

Just a few days ago, Astros manager Bo Porter said there wasn't a small enough sample size to break away from a platoon in left field. He broke away from it at first base on Wednesday, and it worked.

Upward leaf curl, yellowing leaves...
Hey there, so while I was out transplanting a few things I have a very select few plants that I'm kind of wondering about. Other than the obvious signs here and there, most plants are generally very healthy, and seem to be growing well. The first photo is one of two or three that seem to be a very light green color. Everything else that has been watered at the same times, allowed to dry between waterings etc.
Second photo is of a mild jalapeno. I have 8-10 other plants and they look nothing like this. Again everything is allowed to dry between watering and such, but this one has a pretty intense leaf curl. This happened literally within the last day and hasn't been an issue till today.
Third is a habanero, but an upward leaf curl - only not as intense.
I'm not too overly worried about things, however I'd like to find out what you all have to say. Perhaps lack of nutrients? If so any specifics? The Jalapeno picture, the soil is wet because I literally just watered it a little because it did seem a little dry.
Thanks you all.
PS I have browsed around, and a few sources point towards possible calcium deficiency? I would like to get some feedback here though before throwing nutrients they may not need on them.
ab2008, for what it is worth, I grew some hot peppers from seed of a previous crop.
And every single one died from a seed borne disease - determined by the Extension Service. I did not want to pay for further detailed testing; I just discarded the rest of seeds.
The first sign was a yellowing of the youngest leaves, followed by drooping of all leaves from top downward. Finally, the stalk collapsed; and that was that.
are they still on a heat mat??? i see words in the second pic ... between the pots???
do your fert .. diluted with every watering???
the curl doenst bother me on one leaf.. i would snip it off ...
and the color.. doesnt either.. depending on how fast they are growing.. sometimes they grow so fast.. it takes a few days to color up properly ...;
those are some mighty fine seedlings indoors.. i think you should be very proud ...
now just dont kill them with too much love..
i like the drying out part in between waterings.. if only peeps read and note that...
how long do you figure.. before you can harden them off.. and get them outdoors????
Thanks you all for the responses. I may have been letting them get "too" dry between watering. Not to the extent they are falling over or anything, but at the first signs of wilt.
And yes it's a seed mat, however it isn't on.
No, I don't fertilize really. They were started in some MG potting soil, but I'm thinking it may start needing to be fed perhaps?
And I should be able to get them out by the end of this month if everything goes well. It's starting to get into the 70's of a day here, but nights are still too cool for peppers. Another thing that I wasn't thinking of that may be an issue is being two plants per pot. So I'll head out today and get some more potting soil and separate them today probably.
I did mix up some of my nutrients I use for my hydroponics for lettuce and watered one of the plants that were yellowing, and seems to be turning back to the green it should be so that's great. Will watch them over the next day or two and see how it goes.
i wouldnt repot ALL of them.. just in case it doesnt work..
by this size.. i would be watering with 1/4 fert ... in other words.. if one tablespoon in a gal is recommended.. i would use 1/4T in a gal of water.. just to refresh the media of nutrients.. w/o causing them to take over the house ...
i figured the heat mat was off.. but had to make sure ...
the one thing that crossed my mind.. FOR NEXT YEAR .... is to start them a few weeks later .. these would be perfect to go outside.. RIGHT NOW.. and you have a month to go ... the timing aspect is one of the hardest variables to perfect ... and if they could go outside.. i would plant two plants together .. and avoid the whole repotting deal ....

Earnhardt Jr. has all kinds of problems at Daytona
"I beat him to the yellow line and then he just turned us," Vickers said. "Typically, NASCAR penalizes (for that). I guess they're not going to penalize (Earnhardt) for it. It's kind of sad. To wreck somebody intentionally like that in front of the entire field is really kind of dangerous. That's my problem with it. Apparently, he wanted a caution pretty bad."
NASCAR said the two situations were treated differently because Earnhardt never intentionally wrecked Vickers.
Three-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Robby Gordon, Denny Hamlin, Jamie McMurray, Scott Speed and Carl Edwards also were caught up in the accident.
Kyle Busch, though, might have had the most to lose. Busch led a race-high 88 laps before the melee.
"One guy that had problems all day long on pit road and made his problems our problems and our problems a big problem," Busch said. "It's just unfortunate with that, and it was really uncalled for two lapped cars to be racing each other and bumping each other like that."
Earnhardt staunchly defended himself. He even got on the radio and said, "Tell Vickers if he wants to meet me in the garage and get his (butt) beat, I'd be willing."
"Message delivered," crew chief Tony Eury Jr. responded.
By the time the race ended because of the rain, Earnhardt had calmed down considerably. He climbed out of his No. 88 Chevrolet and had Burton waiting nearby.
"He was upset with me for making it three-wide and I should have worked with him and all that," Earnhardt said. "But rain's coming. Time to try to win the race, you know what I mean?"

Shrub similar to hibiscus but blooms earlier
winterwolfes(7a NJ)April 28, 2013
I planted some hardy hibiscus last spring around my pool. When I researching companion plants last fall, I came across a shrub that had similar large flowers but woke up and bloomed earlier than the hibiscus. I remember reading that it was a good idea to alternate hibiscus and this plant because this other would bloom early in the season and then hibiscus would come back and bloom in the summer when that one was done. I thought it would be perfect around the pool. But the problem is I cannot remember the name of this other shrub! All I know is that it was a fairly common one and if I saw it, I would recognize it immediately. Its driving me crazy. Anyone have any ideas?

text: Twitter debuts lead-gen ad product Published on May 23, 2013. 0 Reprints Reprints Ad Age LookBook Weekly Feature Get Help Organizing Your Mobile Data and Start Tracking What's Working Learn more San Francisco—Twitter Inc., rapidly enhancing its advertising options, has launched a new lead-generator ad product that can present daily deal-like offers. Termed a "Lead Generation Card" by Twitter, the feature works when a viewer expands a Promoted Tweet. That generates a description of an offer along with a call to action. The user's name, @username and email address are prepopulated in the card, enabling a single click to respond to the company, Twitter said on its advertising blog.

Who We Are
Lake County United is a non-profit, non-partisan organization of civil society institutions: Churches, synagogues, mosques, civic and labor groups. Formed in April of 2003 our member organizations commit both dues and leaders (based on their size) to work for a just society through active citizenship. Our membership is growing and is open to all who share our goals.
As a broad based citizens organization we build relationships across Lake County, identify community concerns and needs and work together as a united power for human dignity, social justice and the greater good. In particular we encourage conversation across religious, ethnic, economic, generational, and political lines believing that it is possible to create a shared vision for the county. And we are realists about power: The ability to translate the hopes and interests of our members into action and results.
Lake County United Updates — December 2014
LCU Housing Team has established a blue print and finances for a 40 unit housing complex in Mundelein. Thanks to our relationship with Governor Quinn and the fact that Illinois' priority to house people who are inappropriately housed in nursing homes, but who could live independently, we obtained tax credits which will fund the development and construction of this housing. All of the units will be affordable and a portion will be designed for those with physical or mental disability. If all goes as planned, we will be breaking ground in the spring of 2015 which will be a fine celebration!
LCU Health Care Team is currently in the process of creating an overlay of maps to identify where free clinics, mental health services, hospitals, etc. are located in relationship to transportation lines and population centers of Lake County. The purpose of this project is to provide a visual presentation which shows who is able to access these resources based on location, and to whom resources are inaccessible.
LCU Mental Health Team has agreed upon a 2 part strategy to test whether there is enough interest to act in order to create the political will that is necessary to tackle issues related to mental illness. (Attached to this update is a list of scheduled research actions and listening sessions, along with an additional list of agencies that we are looking for leaders to step up and schedule).
Conduct an external analysis which involves research: meeting with dozens of people who are impacted by mental health, both experts and non- experts to gain further insight on the topic.
Conduct an internal analysis which involves leaders holding listening sessions at our member institutions around the matter of mental health. The ultimate goal is to identify new leaders and see if there is support within our institutions upon addressing this issue.
As a follow up to our Candidate Forum, LCU leaders are in the process of scheduling follow up meetings with; Sheriff Curran, County Board Member Cunningham,, Congressman Dold, and State Representative Mayfield.
Leaders evaluated the candidate forum and are planning a training on individual/ relational meeting with plns to go out and listen to residents in Waukegan.
Lake County United Updates — November 2014
A site, developer, blue print and finances have been established for a 40 unit housing complex in Mundelein. All of the units will be affordable and a portion will be designed for those with physical or mental disability.
In October Lake County United Leaders joined United Power in a meeting with Governor Quinn to discussed expanding affordable housing across the state, including increasing the capital budget for housing from $140 Million to $250 Million.
Our health care team completed their work with county health department which included conducting a survey on health issues in our institutions. After collecting over 1,700 surveys our data led us to find that a significant number of individuals and families are specifically impacted by mental health.
Our health care team is now doing research on access to mental health and plans to put together a presentation for our member institution. This will be an opportunity for people to talk about how their family or someone they know is impacted by this issue. The hope is to slowly begin to remove the shame associated with mental health and to gain the support that is necessary to take concrete action - including alternatives to jail and hospital, which have become the primary placement for mentally ill.
As many of you know, Waukegan to College (W2C) emerged out of LCU and is now its own organization serving over 75 kids and continually expanding. In addition to serving kids, they are teaching parents leadership skill through LCU and getting organized to address larger education related issues.
On October 26th the Waukegan Action Team of Lake Count United hosted a candidate forum with over 180 people attending along with congressional, state representatives, sheriff and county board candidates. Each candidate committed to work with Lake County United on a issues related to immigration, jobs, mental health, and education and to meet with us within the first 90 days, if elected.
