White Mountain Hikes
Piper/Belknap/Gunstock 5/4/13
The kind of days we had together were always the kind you hoped would last forever, that nothing would ever change and that we would all be together forever. When they were about to begin we did not know they were coming and when they were about to end we did not know they were ending. In between we had 13 and a half wonderful years together. Although the shock and pain are severe, in my mind sudden and without much warning is preferable to long and slow, lingering and withering as time slips away. In the end, she left us the way we all would have chosen if it must be, hiking and living life to the fullest right until the end.
We had known in our hearts that she was older and would eventually succumb to the only thing that could ever slow her down, the slow erosion of time. Time, which grinds even the mighty mountains down was the only thing she ever lost to in a fight, and she fought it right up until the end. After a clean bill of health in December of 2012, we had taken her for a full check up in April which included an ultra-sound after a slight heart murmur was detected. She was put on antibiotics for a UTI, and on heart medicine for the murmur. The vet played down the heart murmur stressing it was minor, and assured us it was normal and common in older and smaller dogs, and that her arthritis was a bigger issue to her health at this point.
After a round of the antibiotics she was more herself, but still not all that eager about walking/hiking. We probably assumed too much that she was adjusting to the medicine and would be fine. After getting her out on some decent walks, we thought she might be more willing if we took her into the mountains she loved. Saturday morning dawned bright and beautiful, another day full of promise. Her brother Blue was with us for a visit and we all piled into the car for a ride to the Belknaps where we could take as big or as small a hike as Emma wanted. The plan was to go from Piper up to Belknap and see how things were going. On Piper we met a few people with several dogs. Emma and even Blue were cordial even when they were sharing some food.
The sun was beating on us on Piper and there was little shade for the dogs so we soon headed off to Belknap. Emma seemed fine, and on Belknap where there were just the 4 of us she and Blue had some more food, she seemed fine and raring to go. As we headed north across the ridge towards Gunstock we stopped in a muddy creek down in the col just before you begin to climb again. Emma took a good cooling off and again seemed fine. On the way up out of the col she began to tire and at the picnic tables below the summit of Gunstock we took the unmarked white trail back down towards our car, skipping the summit of Gunstock for Emma's sake.
Back in the car she was unable to settle, it was really the first indication that something was wrong. The drive home she remained unsettled and we hoped that she could get comfortable once we got home. Back at home we became alarmed when she again could not settle at all. The emergency vet recognized that she was in congestive heart failure and did what he could to remove the fluid that was flooding her lungs, but we were too late. She had really given us no indication that she was in that much distress except that she couldn't settle. Brave little dog even walked into the vets on her own, just as she had faced down the White Mountains again and again.
There isn't much more to say other than we are heartbroken. On the one hand joyous that we shared so many wonderful times together, but on the other hand distraught that they had to end so soon. It will be hard to return to anyplace that we have been to with her, but eventually we will, we must, to honor her memory. Thanks to all of you who have followed us over the years, we have all felt the love that you have extended. Know it has been much appreciated. Hug your dog/furkids and children, our time on earth with them is much too short...

The picturesque one-story, four-room wood frame cottage has been "restored" and is interpreted as an example of a middle-class life in mid-nineteenth-century Illinois. The furniture on display is of the Renaissance Revival style, appropriate for a small-town family of the mid-nineteenth century. The cottage is accessible to persons with disabilities. The site hosts portions of a variety of locally sponsored events throughout the year.

Thank you for your excellent articles on GCC/LLVM on ARM. I'm an Android developer, and have noticed severe performance degradation on the Cortex-A15 (Qualcomm Snapdragon Pro S4 "Krait" line) SoC in conjunction with GCC (both 4.6 and 4.7). I'm not sure if it is due to GCC, the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro "Krait" SoC or something in the Android NDK itself.
On my mostly integer based code, I've been seeing performance on the Krait that is inline with the first generation Snapdragon hardware! I don't have the resources to run a comprehensive performance analysis, but perhaps you do. It would be very interesting to see if such performance regressions exist on the Linux side (i'd be surprised if they didn't) with the "Krait" hardware. If you get a chance, could you please run some benchmarks on the new Qualcomm Krait and compare it against another Cortex-A15 (Exynos) SoC as well as the Cortex-A9?

text: George W. Bush cannot go anywhere without being confronted with the specter of arrest and indictment for torture and other crimes. The people of Canada went into the streets and into court demanding the arrest of Bush when he showed up for a $599 plate lunch on Oct. 20 in Vancouver. Bush's torture victims and their attorneys filed a four-count legal complaint with the courts in British Columbia that included a 69-page draft indictment of Bush. A spokesperson for Canadian Centre for International Justice, which filed the legal complaint with the support of Amnesty International and other human rights organizations, said the court action included "4,000 pages of evidence [that] … detail the multi-faceted torture program, which included holding detainees in secret CIA sites around the globe, extraordinary rendition, and the torture of detainees at Guantánamo Bay." Bush was forced to cancel his scheduled appearance at a swanky fundraiser in Geneva, Switzerland, in February when he was confronted with a similar legal complaint charging him with torture. Thousands were tortured Thousands of innocent people were arrested, sent to secret detention and torture facilities where they endured years of gruesome abuse, isolation and humiliation without ever having been charged with a crime. "George Bush should pay for what he did wrong," Murat Kurnaz, a 29-year old father of two who was repeatedly tortured during his half-decade of false imprisonment, told the Vancouver Observer. "I hope it will happen and he's arrested." The message of the IndictBushNow movement is also being raised throughout the United States. U.S. war veterans, who, along with the Iraqi people, have suffered so greatly because of Bush's illegal invasion of Iraq, brought the IndictBushNow message on banners and placards to the Occupy actions in Washington, D.C., this month. "Bush and Cheney are war criminals and they are not above the law," stated Mike Prysner, an Iraq war veteran. "The Occupy movement is spreading throughout the country today because people want justice and change. We are working with the IndictBushNow movement so that this message resonates throughout the country. This is a global movement for accountability and we will not rest until these officials are held accountable for these most terrible crimes." Help us keep up the momentum by making your urgently donation today. -- From all of us at IndictBushNow

Yep by all mean get in touch with Antics (a company who seem to be living up to their name!) and negotiate, they should offer you some compensation, bearing in mind they will otherwise have a lost sale and have to pay the postage for the boat to be sent back to them.
If you get a satisfactory resolution, then I would re-kit the boat, make sure I have a printed copy of the building manual handy, and build it up as a kit. There aren't gazzillions of parts in the Neptune, and it's a logical construction, so you should soon get a feel for what goes where and why, and what is missing.
It's your decision.
BTW, it looks like Westborne Models have them- tried them?

The key to understanding another society is mastering its language. From this starting point, you can examine a country's history, its literature and culture; and by comparison you can learn more about our own society. The BA Modern Languages suite of programmes is designed for students who wish to specialise in the study of one, two or three languages. You'll need to be highly motivated and able to demonstrate a real interest in, and flair for, languages.
Our five core languages are French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish, but we also offer Portuguese, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and English Language. You'll be learning at one of the biggest, most prestigious centres for the study of modern languages in the UK, with teaching from experts in their field. It's an exciting chance to develop skills that will equip you for a huge range of careers, both in this country and abroad. The wide range of posts recent graduates have secured include roles in journalism, law, publishing and teaching at every level.
Modern Languages graduates from Birmingham benefit from a higher than average rate of employability for the subject, with 87% going into work or study within six months of graduation. An impressive 85% of those graduates go into professional or managerial roles within six months of graduation.

The BA Modern Languages programme involves the study of one, two or three modern languages via one of our four pathways. The degree programme is four years in length, and you will spend your third year studying, teaching or working abroad before returning to Birmingham for your final year.
Each pathway offers a very wide variety of modules to choose from - you can find out more about the modules available by using our My Choices app.
During your first year of study in French, Hispanic Studies, German and Italian, you could have the opportunity to participate in a subsidised one week escorted European Cultural Tour during the Easter vacation. You will visit a city in the country of your target language and partake in language classes, cultural visits and have time to explore the city yourself (please note that places are limited). For those studying Russian, all beginners will take part in a subsidised trip to the city of Petrozavodsk in western Russia for an intensive four-week language programme.
The Year Abroad is one of the most exciting aspects of the programme and many graduates remember it as one of the best years of their life. You will spend it studying at a university, teaching or working abroad. You will be exposed to many new experiences and people and be immersed in your target language. Upon your return to Birmingham your language skills will have developed considerably. Where two languages are studied, you can split the year abroad between two countries or spend the bulk of the year in one country followed by a vacation placement in the other. If you're studying three languages, it is possible to follow a vacation course in the third language. For your beginner language, you are required to spend at least a semester (or equivalent work period) in a country where that language is spoken.
You can study Modern Languages in a wide range of other degree programmes and in combination with many other subjects. Please see the Modern Languages course list for all available courses.
The University of Birmingham is one of the biggest and most prestigious centres for the study of modern languages in the country. We offer an exceptionally broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. You can choose from French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and Russian, and you can study these languages, together with the cultures associated with them, in a variety of programme combinations.

At Birmingham, you'll benefit from an intellectually challenging and stimulating environment for your undergraduate studies, focused on ensuring you're a fully supported and active learner. Our unique degrees are designed to provide both academic excellence and vocational development; a balance that's highly sought after by employers in today's intellectual and creative industries.

Joint Honours in Modern Languages
Key Information Sets (KIS) are comparable sets of information about full- or part-time undergraduate courses and are designed to meet the information needs of prospective students.
All KIS information has been published on the Unistats website and can also be accessed via the small advert, or 'widget', below. On the Unistats website you are able to compare all the KIS data for each course with data for other courses.
The development of Key Information Sets (KIS) formed part of HEFCE's work to enhance the information that is available about higher education. They give you access to reliable and comparable information in order to help you make informed decisions about what and where to study.
The KIS contains information which prospective students have identified as useful, such as student satisfaction, graduate outcomes, learning and teaching activities, assessment methods, tuition fees and student finance, accommodation and professional accreditation.
As a Birmingham student you are part of an academic elite and will learn from world-leading experts. At Birmingham we advocate an enquiry based learning approach, from the outset you will be encouraged to become an independent and self-motivated learner, qualities that are highly sought after by employers. We want you to be challenged and will encourage you to think for yourself.
Your learning will take place in a range of different settings, from scheduled teaching in lectures and small group tutorials, to self-study and peer group learning (for example preparing and delivering presentations with your classmates).
To begin with you may find this way of working challenging, but rest assured that we will enable you to make this transition. You will have access to a comprehensive support system that will assist and encourage you, including personal tutors and welfare tutors who can help with both academic and welfare issues, and a formal transition review during your first year to check on your progress and offer you help for any particular areas where you need support.
Our Academic Skills Centre also offers you support with your learning. The centre is a place where you can develop your mathematical, academic writing and general academic skills. It is the centre's aim to help you to become a more effective and independent learner through the use of a range of high-quality and appropriate learning support services. These range from drop-in sessions to workshops on a range of topics including note taking, reading, writing and presentation skills.
From the outset, you will be assigned your own Personal Tutor who will get to know you as you progress through your studies, providing academic and welfare advice, encouraging you and offering assistance in any areas you may feel you need extra support to make the most of your potential and your time here at Birmingham.
The Academic Writing Advisory Service (AWAS) will provide you with individual support from an academic writing advisor and postgraduate subject-specialist writing tutors. You will receive guidance on writing essays and dissertations at University-level which can be quite different from your previous experiences of writing. Support is given in a variety of ways, such as small-group workshops, online activities, feedback through email and tutorials.
Supporting you throughout your transition to University, offering research opportunities and study skills support and helping you develop and prepare for your post-University careers - our Arts and Law Student Experience Team strive to help you get the most out of your academic experience.
Language laboratory sessions allow you to practise your listening and spoken skills and are an essential part of all our language programmes.
Studying at degree-level is likely to be very different from your previous experience of learning and teaching. You will be expected to think, discuss and engage critically with the subject and find things out for yourself. We will enable you to make this transition to a new style of learning, and the way that you are assessed during your studies will help you develop the essential skills you need to make a success of your time at Birmingham.
You will be assessed in a variety of ways, and these may be different with each module that you take. You will be assessed through coursework which may take the form of essays, group and individual presentations and formal exams (depending on your chosen degree).
During your first year you will undergo a formal 'transition' review to see how you are getting on and if there are particular areas where you need support. This is in addition to the personal tutor who is based in your school or department and can help with any academic issues you encounter.
At the beginning of each module, you will be given information on how and when you will be assessed for that particular programme of study. You will receive feedback on each assessment within four weeks, so that you can learn from and build on what you have done. You will be given feedback on any exams that you take; if you should fail an exam we will ensure that particularly detailed feedback is made available to enable you to learn for the future.
[Video above - Dr Emma Tyler discusses careers and employability during the Modern Languages open day presentation]
Modern Languages graduates have a range of skills that are highly prized by graduate employers: oral and written communication in one or more foreign languages, critical thinking, intercultural awareness and understanding. You will also develop leadership, teamwork and organisational skills through activities such as group projects and your year abroad.
87% of our Modern Language graduates go into work or study within six months of graduation. 50% of vacancies advertised for new and recent graduates don't specify a degree subject, and our graduates enter a wide range of careers similar to other arts and humanities graduates but with much greater scope in international settings. This includes business, government, journalism, the creative arts, teaching and law. Some go abroad to develop their language skills while working as TEFL teachers and university language tutors.
Modern Languages graduates from the University of Birmingham have excellent prospects after graduation. An impressive 85% of our graduates go into professional or managerial jobs within six months of graduation. Our graduates have started careers with employers including British Airways, Deloitte, HSBC, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, the British Council, NATO, BP, central and local government, and universities in the UK and abroad.
Whether you have a clear idea of where your future aspirations lie or want to consider the broad range of opportunities available once you have a Birmingham degree, our Careers Network can help you achieve your goal. This is a unique careers guidance service tailored to your academic subject area, offering a specialised team who can give you expert advice. This includes individual careers advice and talks and events, including 'Careers with Languages', to provide insight into careers of interest to our students. Many languages students will also find our events about careers such as teaching, law, marketing, journalism and advertising of interest.
We work hard to help students identify how the year abroad may help their future career. We also encourage all our students to apply their skills in the workplace by undertaking internships in the summer; the work experience bursary scheme enables students to apply for funding for those career areas where placements are often unpaid. You can even apply for our 'Global Challenge' to work overseas on an expenses paid placement during your summer vacation.
To enhance your career prospects even further, you will need to think about engaging in some extra-curricular activities while you're at university to broaden your skills and your network of contacts. This can include the many societies at the Guild of Students and also the many voluntary opportunities offered with local arts organisations. Our employer-endorsed award-winning Personal Skills Award (PSA) recognises your extra-curricular activities, and provides an accredited employability programme designed to improve your career prospects.
Our College of Arts and Law undergraduate research scholarship scheme enables interested students to work on a current academic research project being run by one of the College's academic researchers. Undergraduate research scholars gain work experience over the summer after their first or second year and have the chance to develop skills in both collaborative and independent research.
Our innovative Cultural Internships offer graduates the opportunity for a six month paid internship at a leading cultural institution in the West Midlands. These internships are a unique opportunity to learn fundamental, transferable business and interpersonal skills, through experience of real work in an established cultural institution. Our current partners include Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, Birmingham REP, Birmingham Royal Ballet, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Ironbridge Gorge Museums Trust and the Library of Birmingham. We have plans to expand the scheme to include our own major cultural assets, such as Winterbourne House, the Lapworth Museum, and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts. This scheme will give you professional experience to set you apart in a competitive graduate market.
We also offer voluntary work which complements your studies by helping you gain practical experiences in occupational settings while contributing back to society. This can bring new skills that will be useful throughout your future and can make a positive impact on your learning whilst at university. Volunteering enables you to develop skills such as communication, interpersonal skills, teamwork, self-confidence and self-discipline all of which can be transferred into your studies.
Your Birmingham degree is evidence of your ability to succeed in a demanding academic environment. Employers target Birmingham students for their drive, diversity, communication and problem-solving skills, their team-working abilities and cultural awareness, and our graduate employment statistics have continued to climb at a rate well above national trends. If you make the most of the wide range of services you will be able to develop your career from the moment you arrive.

You can't go wrong getting three of these for around four bucks. Nice weight stylus, feels like stainless, and even telescopes out and retracts back for the length that suits one better. Makes typing on those tiny keyboards more precise, and saves your screen the fingerprints.
for the price, it is a good item, but the accuracy of the magnetic is average.
Placement of the loop to attach stylus to tablet is not good. It is made of elastic and stretches and the stylus falls out and will get lost easily
I was very disappointed in the product. The pens broke at the top the very first week I used them. They also do not have a way to attach to the phone so you are always looking for them.Not good.

Valerie Harper is sitting on a rose-colored sofa in the living room of her Spanish-style Santa Monica home, her life reflected in the things that surround her. On one wall hangs a modern, colorful painting of her TV alter ego, Rhoda Morgenstern, in trademark '70s head scarf, and there are photos on every shelf of her husband, daughter and five stepchildren. A dining table is piled high with letters and gifts from admirers — flowers, a prayer shawl, a set of rosary beads.
In that familiar, full-throated voice we remember from her role as Mary Tyler Moore's on-screen BFF, the 74-year-old four-time Emmy-winning actress says, "I have been so touched by the outpouring of love and support and suggestions."
Recalling how in January she was diagnosed with terminal metastatic lung cancer, she admits to having been initially terried. "I'd wake up every morning with the feeling of a hand clutching my throat," she says. "I'd think, 'God, I have cancer. I won't be around to see my daughter get married.'"
Harper quickly realized that she and her husband of 26 years, Tony Cacciotti, 74, needed to get their affairs in order. "Tony said he didn't want to discuss it," says Harper. The son of Italian immigrants, Cacciotti had as a child seen too many deceased relatives, including his own teenage brother, displayed in caskets in the family living room during wakes that lasted as long as three days. "He has a whole phobia about the coffin and death," Harper explains. "He doesn't go to funerals."
Drawing on her emotional reserves, and philosophies she adopted earlier in life, Harper not only came to terms with her diagnosis but also helped her husband with his fears. "Valerie is a realist," says Cacciotti. "And she worries more about others than herself. She worries about what's going to happen to us when she's gone."
After some coaxing, Cacciotti agreed to see a lawyer to draft wills and health care directives, something the couple admit they should have done years ago. But when Harper told her husband that she wanted to be cremated, he dug in once again.
"The body is just a rooming house," Harper says. "I don't care. I said, 'Go cheap. Go to the Neptune Society [a low-cost national provider of cremation services].' A friend went that way, and it was fabulous. You go out in Santa Monica Bay, cast flowers, then the ashes. Something even came in the mail offering a $120 discount. I said, 'Tony, we can get it if we order by Thursday.' I was trying to make him laugh, but he didn't think it was funny."

Keyboard instruments > 2 Pianos, 4-hands
Robert Schumann
Introduction and Allegro appassionato for Piano and Orchestra op. 92
Editor: Ernst Herttrich
Piano reduction: Johannes Umbreit
Fingering: Andreas Groethuysen
16.00 €
Urtext Edition, Piano reduction, paperbound

Robert Schumann's famous Piano Concerto in a minor has always been part of the pianist's repertoire – yet the two later Concert Pieces for Piano and Orchestra op. 92 and op. 134 have wrongly been somewhat neglected. Their formal composition is very innovative: the three movements usually in a concerto have been combined to form one single movement. Clara Schumann, who played the solo part in the première of opus 92 on 14 February 1850 in the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, enthusiastically noted in her diary, "I am very looking forward to playing it – it is very passionate and I am sure I will play it thus".
Beide uitgaven zijn voorbeeldig verzorgd. In de orkestpartij wordt de originele instrumentatie vermeld, originele vingerzetting is opgenomen en nieuwe van Andreas Groethuysen toegevoegd.

I'd likely try the Giovanni conditioner.

Any women over 40 or getting close can tell weird stuff starts to happen, can't lose weight, acne and finally frizzy hair. I'm not sure when it happened, but my natural color turned to dishwater blond, and my natural curls have turned to FRIZZ! So I went to my wonderful and really expensive hair dresser to have the usual cut and color and when she went to wash my hair she said that they just got a new shampoo and conditioner called Shielo and that is smelled great. So she washes my hair and OMG - is she right - it smelled incredible but then she put the conditioner in and ran it through my hair and within one minuet she could run her fingers through it with no problem, I was amazed. Its the Hydrating line from the Shielo line. When I used the Shielo products on my hair at home and was amazed again that it smelled great but was so smooth and tangle free, my hair is long and very fine so is also easily weighted down and tangled but now it is soooo easy to style I cant believe my hair feels this good after a color and after blow drying.

I always use a leave-in conditioner..and it does make a difference allright. Unfortunately, nothing heals split ends fully..they (so far) have to be cut. My hair looks good to very good with a leave-in plus gel.

Not a big fan of these leave in treatments. I've true numerous brands ,but for me it makes my hair look like I haven't washed it ad nasty looking.

Check the charts for LA and TX about 21/2-3 yrs ago you'll see gas selling about 275 a gallon at $85 bbl crude price. There may be lower prices than LA and TX, but I don't think it would be much less. depends on taxes mostly at that point.

After strong homestand, Marlins set for test in DC
Hot-hitting Miami will try to back Alvarez vs. Gio, NL East favorites
In most baseball circles, the Nationals -- along with the Braves -- are widely considered the class of the National League East. At this juncture, the Marlins are hoping to move into their neighborhood.
While the Nats are regarded as a division favorite, the Marlins were one of the surprise stories of the season's first week.
Giancarlo Stanton and Casey McGehee energized a much improved offense, and Miami's pitching picked up where it left off a year ago. Now the club will be severely tested against a powerhouse Washington team, which features one of the best rotations in the game.
The Marlins enter the series with a half-game lead over Washington in the NL East. Both teams are off on Monday before opening a three-game set today.
Miami will go with right-hander Henderson Alvarez in the series opener, while Washington is turning to lefty Gio Gonzalez.
A year ago, the Marlins opened the season in D.C. and were swept in three games, scoring just one run. That was then. Now, their offense is producing.
Miami outfielder Christian Yelich said last year the Marlins seemed to play the Nats close, but were often frustrated at the end.
"I think we always played them tight until the end," Yelich said. "We didn't get blown out by them. We always had a shot until the seventh or eight inning, and would lose by a run or two. We know we can play with them. We've been confident with the way we've been swinging the bats and what we can do from an offensive standpoint. Hopefully our pitching will continue to do what they've been doing. If they do that, we have a chance to play with anybody."
In his first start of the season, Gonzalez pitched six innings, allowing one run on three hits. The lefty struck out six batters against the Mets last week, but he got off to a slow start in the bottom of the first inning.
Juan Lagares led off with a triple and later scored on a sacrifice fly by David Wright to give the Mets a 1-0 lead. It was smooth sailing for Gonzalez after that. He left the game after throwing 91 pitches.
"It's starts with his fastball," Nationals manager Matt Williams said. "So once he establishes his fastball command, everything else works off that. He did that tonight. He was able to find his command and use his other stuff, too."
In the fifth inning of that start, Gonzalez hit a long drive that looked like it hit the left-center-field wall, but second-base umpire Todd Tichenor correctly ruled it a home run. In the meantime, Gonzalez had no idea that he had hit a home run. He rounded the bases as if he was going for an inside-the-parker.
"I was trying to get a double out of it," Gonzalez said. "I saw the ball rolling. I saw the left fielder slowing down. I said, 'What is going on here?' And [third-base coach] Bobby [Henley] said, 'Keep going.' It was nice to have the catcher [Travis d'Arnaud] say, 'Hey, hey, slow down.'"
The Marlins view this series as a barometer to where they are after a strong homestand.
"I think it's a great test for us to kind of see where we are at," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "We're just looking at it as another night. We're facing a great ballclub. We're facing their best three pitchers. Hopefully we'll go out there and match up."
Marlins: It all starts with pitching
The series will match Washington's top three starters against Miami's Nos. 3, 4 and 5 starters. Miami is using Monday's day off to give Jose Fernandez and the rest of the staff an extra day. So Fernandez will pitch on Friday at Philadelphia, and not at Nationals Park.
"At the end of the day, it comes down to pitching," Redmond said. "If we go out there and throw strikes and keep ourselves in the game and give our offense a chance to score some runs, we'll be in good shape."
Marlins pitchers posted a 2.43 ERA in the seven-game homestand.
Alvarez had a rough first start, giving up six runs (three earned) in three innings in a loss to the Rockies. The right-hander is 0-2 with a 4.43 ERA in four starts against the Nationals.
Nationals: Zimmerman's bothersome shoulder
Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman's status for the series is uncertain. He underwent an MRI exam on his sore right shoulder Sunday, the results of which revealed inflammation, but no structural damage. He pinch-hit and struck out in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Braves.
Worth noting:
• Giancarlo Stanton has collected at least one RBI in each of the seven games, joining Cliff Floyd for the second-most consecutive games with an RBI to start the season. Floyd had seven straight to open 2001.
• Jeff Baker had a pinch-hit RBI double off Padres lefty Alex Torres on Sunday. He is a career .298 hitter vs. left-handed pitchers.
• Miami has 19 doubles, the most in the Majors as of Sunday.

Customer Reviews for On Sale RV / Motorhome Yellow / Cream Solid Plain Semi-Opaque Roller Window Shades
"Excellent Product"
By Shady from Bronx, NY
The shades I ordered were perfect! I followed the website video for measuring and the shades fit perfectly. The color was a soft white and filters the sun beautifully.
View this product"Great little shade"
By cmad from West Des Moines, IA
This shade is minimalistic - you don't even notice them when they are open which I love. I chose them over pleated shades and miniblinds because they don't hold so much dust so are easier to keep clean. They let just the right amount of light in when closed and are pretty easy to install. One thing to watch: make sure you measure a little on the small size rather than large for inside installation and don't squeeze the brackets together during installation or the operation is way too stiff.

The task would be made easier by $620 billion in tax hikes approved in January on wealthy Americans, and an assumption very unlikely to occur - the repeal of Obama's health care reforms, which would save another $1.8 trillion.At a news conference, Ryan repeatedly said that his plan will balance the budget and the Democratic alternative won't."You can't start really paying this debt down in a serious way until you balance the budget," he said. "The current high levels of debt we have today are a threat to our economy."He defended keeping the January tax hikes by saying their damage would be corrected by tax reform that would drastically reduce rates.The Ryan plan's cuts to social programs including Medicaid, which provides healthcare for the poor and some people with disabilities, make it unacceptable to Democrats, who control the U.S. Senate.More reductions, totaling $931 billion over 10 years, would come from counting savings from ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is money that critics argue would not have been spent anyway, and from changing accounting methods for the cost of domestic emergencies, such as hurricane rebuilding.Ryan's plan leaves savings in place from automatic spending cuts that began on March 1 and shaves another $249 billion from the discretionary spending category that funds the military and programs ranging from education to national parks.'FRAUDULENT AT WORST'Democrats' response to Ryan's budget was biting.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the plan would shower new tax breaks on the rich and hit the middle class with higher taxes, all the while cutting essential government services such as food inspections and law enforcement, and weakening Medicare.That budget, Reid added in a speech on the Senate floor, "relies on accounting that's creative at best and fraudulent at worst."Despite the severe differences, budget optimists hope that the House Republican and Senate Democratic plans will be the opening salvos in a serious deficit-reduction effort this year.Ryan, a Wisconsin lawmaker who was the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2012, relies again on major cutbacks to Medicaid by giving states more flexibility to run the program.A total of $756 billion in savings would be achieved over 10 years on Medicaid, according to a summary of the House Republican budget outline.Medicare, the federally-backed healthcare program for the elderly and disabled, would see savings of $129 billion over a decade. Eventually, the program would be converted into a voucher-like plan with the elderly receiving subsidies to purchase private insurance or traditional Medicare.Those Americans now aged 55 or older would maintain their current benefits, however.Democrats have complained that Ryan's approach would cost older Americans thousands of dollars a year in added healthcare costs while letting the rich keep tax breaks that cost the Treasury Department tens of billions of dollars.Ironically, Ryan's drive to balance the budget in 10 years is aided by new tax revenues on the rich that Democrats won at the beginning of this year - the very ones that Republicans fought to stop.REACHING FOR A BUDGET DEALOver the past four years, U.S. budget deficits have surpassed $1 trillion annually, contributing to a rapidly escalating national debt that now stands at nearly $16.7 trillion.Ryan's proposal comes as Republicans and Democrats have been considering the possibility of finding a long-term budget compromise following more than two years of bitter disputes.Over the past week, Obama has met privately with Republican lawmakers to feel out their willingness to cut a deal. This week the Democratic president is holding four separate meetings with members of Congress to explore possibilities.Even so, some Republican lawmakers in recent days have noted "an impasse" over tax policy, as Democrats continue to insist on additional tax increases on the wealthy and some corporations.And Ryan's budget does not shy away from new taunts at Obama as it proposes repealing the president's landmark healthcare law that is gradually being implemented after several failed attempts by Republicans to kill it and a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that rejected key challenges to the law.The House Republican plan envisions U.S. budget deficits falling sharply to $528 billion next year, $125 billion in 2015 and $69 billion in 2016.While the nation's finances would be strengthened through $4.6 trillion in lower deficits over 10 years, not all of the savings would come through spending cuts.The Republican budget foresees $700 billion less in interest payments over the next decade, compared to current policy, because of the slowdown in government borrowing.Debt held by the public would fall from 77.2 percent of GDP next year to 54.8 percent by the end of the 10-year budget window, according to the House Budget Committee.Besides tackling spending, the Ryan budget calls for reforming the nation's outdated tax code and creating just two income tax brackets of 10 percent and 25 percent.With Obama and lawmakers trying to reach a budget deal by late July or early August, there is widespread skepticism that an overhaul of tax laws can be accomplished in such little time.

Residents of Heritage Court Assisted Living on Jan. 8 got to celebrate what would have been Elvis Presley's 78th birthday - almost with "The King" himself.
Employees at Heritage Court enjoyed a performance by Long Beach-based Elvis impersonator "Elvis Powers," who fascinated residents with his renditions of Presley's hits in one of his infamous bedazzled costumes.
"Those impersonators are good. They are so good," said Joann Kasnick, a resident. "I enjoy seeing them. It brings back nice memories."
Erick Gochez, activities director at Heritage Court, said Powers, whose real name is John Gilpin, has performed for the residents in the past, but this is the first time they have celebrated the anniversary of Presley's birthday.
Residents were even served birthday cake.
Presley was born on Jan. 8, 1935 and passed away on Aug. 18, 1977.
"I know the residents here enjoy Elvis' music and music of that era. I know Elvis was such a big influence on music and pop culture," Gochez said. "Every time our entertainer comes here our residents get really happy. They get excited."
Kasnick, who moved to Heritage Court in June from Menifee, said her family has always been fans of his.
She even made a trip with her children to see Graceland, Presley's former home in Memphis, Tennessee.
"Oh yeah, I think I had all his records," Kasnick said.
Her son-in-law hosted an "Elvis is Alive" party for her daughter once.
"He made such a hit because she just idolized him. Why, I think all the girls did," she said.

Turbulent Two-Phase Flow Benchmark
Application ID: 4398
This model shows how to solve a turbulent two-phase flow problem with the k-epsilon Turbulence Model closure model.
Industrial scale mold-filling problems often involve free-surface flows with a high Reynolds number, and a suitable turbulence model must be employed.
Liquid water is injected into a filling plate at a velocity of 16 m/s. The liquid density is 1000 kg/m3 and the viscosity is 0.001 Pa.s. The inlet channel width is 0.045 m, which results in a Reynolds number (for the liquid jet) of around 720 000. The liquid jet displaces the air and begins to fill the plate. The results are compared with numerical and experimental data.

Bad idea sony!
Agreed, stories from the villains point of view is good in the comics, not so much on the big screen.
I have mixed feelings and some concerns but I'd definitely make the trip to the theater to see these films.
I think some villain origin stories have the possibility of having us feel some empathy for them.
I think Kraven, Black Cat and Morbius if Sony has the rights could all make for something reallyt good.
Venom yeh, sinister 6 mmmmm. not sure how that would work. Can it, has anyone seen anything where this type of jazz works?
SONY Pictures handling of the entire Spiderman series has been a bad idea.
Movies featuring criminals in the lead roles have been successful for ages. Usually they're made sympathetic because the actors are attractive and charismatic, such as The Godfather, Ocean's Eleven or Pulp Fiction. In the case of the Sinister Six, I'd expect Sony to instead go the route of The Dirty Dozen. Spider-Man's foes are all facing life in prison, and a government agent offers them a chance at freedom some day in exchange for undertaking dangerous missions. DC/WB is working on Suicide Squad, after all.
The problem with expanding the Spiderman franchise with spinoff's is that there's not much there to work with. And there's no "grey area" crossover characters that could be used by both companies. Like the deal with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.
