State mandates raise in Portola sewer costs
The Portola City Council reviewed new requirements in its wastewater discharge permit at its Jan. 13 meeting and found that meeting these requirements will put the sewer fund into a negative balance situation for the first time.
The permit is granted by the Regional Water Quality Control Board and allows the city to discharge wastewater into the Feather River for a brief period every spring. The permit, which lasts for five years, was originally granted last April, but Public Works Director Todd Roberts and Sauers Engineering, contracted by the city to help with the sewer system management plan, objected to some of the many new requirements.
Roberts introduced the presentation by saying the cost of meeting the permit was going to be astronomical, but thanks to Karen Nelson of Sauers Engineering, they could reduce the cost, which remained substantial.
"We did get a bunch of stuff that had been in the permit removed. It involved fighting (the water board) and standing our ground, but we did it and it saved the city a lot of money," said Roberts.
Nelson and Dean Marsh, her partner at Sauers Engineering, and Roberts challenged several of the items because they felt they didn't apply to the city's system and they cost a lot of money. On other issues, Nelson felt they were the wrong way to approach some things.
"They (water board staff) really worked with us. They came to your town and we walked them through the site. We demonstrated what some of the issues were: they have to apply the law to your system," Nelson said.
Water board staff subsequently relieved the city from a number of studies and the regional board approved the final permit last October.
Nelson gave a brief overview of the city's sewer system, "It's a wastewater pond system—very low technology. It's been there a long time, but is extremely cost effective over anything else that's out there.
"So, to the extent that we can keep it running and keep it in compliance with the law, I believe it will save you millions of dollars over going to a more sophisticated system. It's very reliable, economical, stable; (has) very little energy consumption and requires minimal operator attention relative to other systems."
Nelson felt she would know how well the system would weather the storm of the new requirements after it had gone through its discharge season this spring.
She also pointed out city staff had already changed many of their ways of discharge to evaporate more and by using spray irrigation. Reducing the amount of discharge reduces the potential for violation Nelson pointed out.
Sewer ponds discharge into the Feather River whenever they get overfull, either in winter or spring, but must adhere to a strict set of guidelines in doing so.
Like other sewer systems and municipalities across the state, Portola is also meeting deadlines for the sewer system management plan, mandated by the state through the regional water board.
The city council has already approved the goals and organization portions of the management plan and has an Overflow Emergency Response Plan in place.
Nelson outlined the next portions of the plan, with deadlines prior to the end of the city's fiscal year in July, and presented cost estimates for Sauers Engineering's time in preparing them.
The first task outlined requires the city to demonstrate through sewer ordinances and sewer contracts that the city possesses legal authority over the sewer. The Sauers Engineering proposal pointed out that task does not require a licensed engineer so the work could be completed by city staff, if desired.
Other work needing completion by Feb. 2 includes the operations and maintenance program, a comprehensive document that maps the collection system, documents preventive maintenance program, develops replacement plans, outlines operator training programs and inventories equipment.
Finally, the city must implement a fats, oils and grease control program, which includes public outreach as well as grease interceptors on food service connections to the sewer.
The toxics reduction evaluation work plan must be in place by April 8, and is the guiding document if, during the life of the permit, toxicity testing falls out of compliance.
The mixing zone dilution study must occur this spring during the discharge period, which is usually brief. Injected dye traces the dilution patterns of the effluent during discharge into the river.
The work plan and schedule for completing the best practicable treatment or control report is also due April 8. The two- or three-year project will entail a comprehensive technical evaluation of each system element.
Sauers must also complete a study of discharge elimination during periods of high electrical conductivity in the Feather River and a groundwater monitoring work plan.
The groundwater monitoring work plan will include selected locations for the installation of shallow monitoring wells, as well as look into the feasibility of using one or more Union Pacific groundwater monitoring wells as a source of up-gradient information. Nelson estimated the need for one to two wells up gradient and three down-gradient wells.
Nelson also foresaw the need for salinity studies in the future, which are being required throughout the state. The work required of Sauers Engineering to fulfill state requirements due before the end of the current fiscal year totaled $74,000, with another estimated $15,000 for drilling wells.
Finance Officer Susan Scarlett asked if the council wanted to know how much money was currently in the sewer fund. City Manager Jim Murphy commented he didn't think the state cared if the city had the money, but council members did.
Scarlett reported there was $36,000 in undesignated funds available.
Murphy added, "The reason this is so important is because this is the first time we will have a negative balance in the sewer fund.
"When we do next year's budget, it equates to a potential rate increase to the residents—and we haven't even started to talk about Lake Davis treatment plant costs yet, but it equates to a pretty significant rate increase."
Roberts attributed the increased costs to environmentalist group California Sport Fishing Alliance monitoring the regional water board to make sure the letter of the law was fulfilled and to limit the board's ability to make individual exceptions.
Mayor John Larrieu wanted to know if the city could make up the difference from the General Fund. Murphy said no, that sewer, water and solid waste were all enterprise funds and were fee-based.
Scarlett said she would talk to city engineer Dan Bastian to see if any of the elements would qualify for money from the sewer's capital fund, but knew that studies were not eligible.
Murphy commented, "When you've got 1,100 users and you're asking $74,000…"
Nelson said Roberts had used that argument with the board.
"You're taking money away from improvements to the wastewater treatment plant. You won't be able to do any sewer line improvements that you should be doing because you're paying for studies that, by and large, aren't improving water quality to the river," she said.
Murphy said the city of Colfax, with a smaller customer base than Portola, had switched from a pond system to a treatment plant and it had cost them $10 million.
Citizen Bob Morton wanted to know why the ponds were even allowed so close to the river when the landfill, which was a considerable distance away, was closed because of leaching to the river.
Nelson explained that dumps were quite another matter and heavy metals were at issue; extreme toxins like battery acid and Freon don't come out in any natural process.
"The wastewater at your treatment plant is essentially what your people flush down the toilet and it does biodegrade naturally," she said.
Roberts added it was treated as well, "It's all organic."
There were several guesses—ranging from the '50s to the '70s—as to when the ponds were originally placed there, but no one knew for certain.
Nelson summarized the situation, "For cities like yours that don't have a lot of industrial discharge, they (ponds) really do a pretty good job across the board. We can do things to even improve that, things that are still fairly passive and low tech."
"And some day," Murphy concluded, "we can talk about the $700,000 deficit in the solid waste fund because of the forced closure of the landfill, which is exactly the same issue that we're talking about here."

Royal Dutch Shell could postpone a decision on its Arrow liquefied natural gas (LNG) project on Curtis Island in Queensland, Australia, until 2014. Costs for Australian LNG facilities are climbing as the nation looks to overtake Qatar as the world's largest exporter of LNG, amid burgeoning Asian demand.
Royal Dutch Shell could postpone a decision on its Arrow liquefied natural gas (LNG) project on Curtis Island in Queensland, Australia, until 2014.
The venture, which is owned by Shell and PetroChina, is forecast to cost $20 billion (B) amid rising energy project costs in the country.
"We are in preparation of a potential final investment decision of that project somewhere in the 20132014 timeframe," CEO Peter Voser said.
Costs for Australian LNG facilities are climbing as the nation looks to overtake Qatar as the world's largest exporter of LNG, amid burgeoning Asian demand.
"Cost inflation is showing in many different segments, and that forces us to find other ways of constructing our projects, or taking final investment decisions at the right time or postponing," Mr. Voser added.
Energy firms are moving forward with seven LNG projects in Australia, estimated to cost $180 B, even as growing construction costs and competition put the development of future projects in jeopardy.
Deutsche Bank AG has estimated that Arrow alone will cost more than $20 B. Shell, BG Group, Santos Ltd. and ConocoPhillips all have LNG projects under development along the Queensland coast.
Shell is considering a plan to combine its Arrow gas resources with those of third parties, said Director of International Production Andy Brown. "With three projects under construction at Curtis Island, it makes sense to think about the best value solution for Shell, and get the timing of an LNG project right," Mr. Brown explained.
Meanwhile, Gorgon LNG, a Chevron-led Australian LNG project in which Shell has a 25% stake, could cost as much as $50 B, according to Deutsche bank AG. The project is 50% complete.
After discovering more than 40 trillion cubic feet of gas, Shell and Chevron are reviewing a plan to build a fourth production unit at Gorgon. Mr. Brown said that the decision on the proposed fourth train will be made next year.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

ManUtd.com's Adam Marshall reports live from Anfield...
Full time: Liverpool 1 United 0
A disappointing day on Merseyside for David Moyes' team who were unable to respond to Daniel Sturridge's early headed opener. The Reds are now five points behind the arch-rivals from Anfield in the table as Brendan Rodgers' outfit have won all three league games 1-0.
95' Sterling drives forward to force a flying save out of De Gea and that will be that. It's defeat for the Reds at Anfield surely now.
94' Sturridge goes to the deck when backing into Cleverley and time is almost up with Liverpool easily seeing out this additional period. Can United get the ball forward one last time?
92' Sterling wins a foul out of Carrick's challenge and the clock is ticking down.
90' Lucas is booked for conceding a free-kick out on the right. It comes to nothing but there will be five minutes of injury time.
87' That was the chance! Van Persie is put through by Hernandez, the flag rightly stays down but his left-footed drive, on the slide, crashes just wide.
87' Moving into the closing stages and United are still struggling to fashion out a decent opening. For all the possession, there has been little threat this half.
83' Luis Alberto replaces Coutinho, who takes his time walking off. United need some late drama here.
81' Things are just not going United's way as a needless foul by Evra gives the hosts another opportunity to relieve the pressure. Hernandez sprints onto a Nani pass but is stopped in his tracks by Jose Enrique. The Mexican then unloads a snap-shot that is gathered by Mignolet.

How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.

Great stuff Shawn!
Hi Bennett,
When I started this thread I agreed not to seek out specific guitars, I would simply post photos of guitars that happened to cross my path. It would be a full time job for someone to actively follow and photographically document PS guitars as they are being built. Sorry.
I'm a little punch-drunk after that salvo of fretboard smack down!The figuring is just

Running shoes hang from a barrier at a makeshift memorial in Copley Square in Boston, Wednesday, April 24, 2013.

NEW YORK â?? The NFL draft will begin in somber fashion.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday that Thursday night's draft at Radio City Music Hall will begin with a moment of silence.
Goodell said escalated security measures will be in place in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing that killed three people and injured more than 200.
"We will have a moment of reflection for both the victims in Boston and in Texas,'' Goodell said during his post-clinic news briefing, also referencing the 15 dead in the West, Texas, fertilizer plant explosion.
No backpacks will be allowed inside Radio City Music Hall, and fans are encouraged to arrive early to go through intensified security checks.
"We always re-evaluate our security measures for any event we have, and this is no different," Goodell said. "We worked with the local officials to make some changes to our security program. Ensuring all of our events is a very important priority for us.''
Former Central Michigan left tackle Eric Fisher doesn't know any of the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings, but he said his thoughts are with the victims.
"My heart goes out to everyone involved in the Boston bombings. That's just terrible,'' Fisher said. "We're a country that takes pride in keeping everybody safe.
"Security here will be fine. I haven't even thought about it. I'm just looking forward to really making my NFL dream come true.''
Goodell said he has spoken with new Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam "several times,'' after an FBI investigation into allegations of widespread rebate fraud by the Haslam family-owned Flying J truck stop chain.
"He's doing everything he's asked and cooperating," Goodell said. "He wants to make sure that he's doing all the right things in that regard, and he's assured us he's going to.''
Goodell said the last time he spoke with Haslam was Tuesday.

Excellent sound and value
Written By
JohnT, Watertown NY on Sunday, September 02, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Outstanding construction, fit and finish. Quality speakers that out perform their small size. I have the first set mounted in the fairing of my touring motorcycle and hooked to the stock stereo. As is to be expected there is not over whelming bass, they are 4" coaxial after all. However they present a very clear and balanced sound in an unfriendly environment for music. (Open air, wind and traffic noise.) They also fit MUCH better and sound MUCH better than the 4" Bazookas that they replaced.
Pros: Respectable bass, balanced sound, great fit and finish
Cons: None

Then even with the Special Defense drop, Modest Flareon still can't OHKO Infernape? Also assume neither can use Focus Sash. Let's say both are using Life Orb.
Welcome new person . 3
It would OHKO after the drop yes, however Infernape can still OHKO with CC, plus, I might have forgotten LO on Nape.
Yeah. I forgot evs and LO on Nape. It is a solid OHKO on Flareon.
I want an Umbreon with Synchronoise.

I suffered the magnet syndrome.
I was naturally attracted to alcohol -- and alcohol had a natural attraction to me! We just couldn't pull ourselves away from each other!
I tried all the things listed in Chapter 3, (I think it starts on page 31 BB)... except for one -- the "not take a trip." I never tried the "not take a trip" one! (Hey... I guess I had to leave a little imagination out there! )
I started to write ... that the longest relationship I ever had -- was my relationship with alcohol.
Then, I realized... that's not true! I have now had a relationship with sobriety that has lasted longer than my relationship with alcohol!
I never ever thought I would ever ever be able to say that! I remember being new in AA, and hearing a guy say that he had been sober for longer than he drank! I immediately thought... "well you didn't drink for very long, did you?"
My thoughts were -- that I had drank for so many years, that it would be impossible for me to live as long as I drank, let alone stay sober for that long!
I guess we are still in the age of miracles! eh?
Nice to chat with you Robert. Seems like everyone else's pc is locked up or has a wedgie or something in it! I was having that problem last for the last two weeks! I had computer problems and Internet service problems.
PC... and when I wrote that aboe I was referring to Personal Computer!
Now... I'm thinking of PC as in Pink Cloud!!! (My mind is quick to change, huh?" )
It used to really get to me to have old timers tell me things like "Well! You're just on a Pink Cloud! Don't get used to it! It'll be gone in a few hours or days..." And, then they'd laugh with those unhappy laughts... hahahahah hahahahah
Heck, I've had a Pink Cloud going on for years! Sure... there were let downs, obstacles, problems, heart-breaks, disappointments, injuries, losses, times that my ass was falling off ... but the PC was still nearby.
I believe that just like drinking caused us to be under the influence and effects of alcohol -- sobriety and living with the spiritual-tool-kit (and using it daily) produces a Dallas that's under the influence and effects of Higher Powered Living! And, that is most often the Pink Cloud effect for me! I also believe that this is one of the really unique propositions in the Big Book that often get's overlooked.
I know, and I understand, what Bill Wilson meant, when he wrote that he felt as though he had been rocketed into the 4th diminsion! That has been a reality for me!
Enjoy the moment!

Nice to see you: Peavy squares off vs. ex-teammates
Now in Boston, righty will see plenty of familiar faces in batter's box
Jake Peavy will stand tall on the mound at Fenway Park on Saturday night, maybe even with a smile on his face.
Sure, he will be heaving pitches past his former teammates. More than that, though, Peavy is just thrilled to be a part of a pennant race, as the Red Sox, who acquired the right-hander from this weekend's opponent -- the White Sox -- vie for the American League East crown.
"For me to start the season with somebody else and be traded over here with only a few months left, with everything in the world to gain," Peavy said, "I can't tell you how excited I am."
Peavy spent four years with the White Sox, who sent him to Boston in a three-team deal prior to the non-waiver Trade Deadline a month ago.
"I did not want to leave Chicago," Peavy said. "It was not my choice and I was not excited about leaving Chicago. That being said, I couldn't be any more excited to be right here right now, and this is the way it should have been. This bunch, I don't think I could have walked into a better situation with a better bunch of guys who are a lot like me on and off the field. This is where I belong and I'm excited."
So when a pitcher faces former teammates, who holds the upper hand?
"I know whatever's his best, I'm getting it [Saturday]," said Chicago slugger Adam Dunn. "He knows how to get me out and I know what he's going to try to get me out with. If he makes a mistake, I win. And if he doesn't, he probably wins."
Peavy called the circumstance a "Catch-22."
"I feel like I know their lineup very well," Peavy said. "But at the same [time], they know me and what I do and the way I go about things, the way I prepare. And they're going to do the same. It's really going to come down to who executes better."
The White Sox, who will send John Danks (4-10, 4.15 ERA) to the hill, have won 10 of 13. Since they traded Peavy, they are 16-13.
"They're playing well. They're playing with some energy," Peavy said. "They really have nothing to lose, and they're going out there and letting it all hang out. You see the results they've gotten over the last few weeks. I'm excited for that, but we don't need that happening here this weekend for this ballclub."
Danks is ready for the challenge.
"It's going to be different seeing him over there in the other uniform," Danks said. "We know what we are going to get from him. He's going to be hard to beat. We are going to have to be good to beat him, but I think we are up for the task. It will be fun to beat one of your buddies."
Peavy went 8-4 with a 4.28 ERA in 13 starts with the White Sox this season. He compiled a 36-29 mark and 4.00 ERA in 84 appearances during his tenure in Chicago. The three-time All-Star has posted a 2-1 record and 3.31 ERA in five starts with Boston.
"I've been very blessed to have the opportunity that I've been thrust into," Peavy said. "It's something you only dream of."
White Sox: Peavy's departure felt in clubhouse
• Peavy is missed within the White Sox clubhouse.
"Me personally, you miss your buddy and you just get used to doing certain things every day," Dunn said. "Just little things: going to the field, eating, things like that. Team-wise, you know what you're getting every fifth day. I think he was good for a lot of these young pitchers, kind of pick his brain like they should have. He's just good for the team."
• Danks is not sure why the White Sox have played better since trading veterans Peavy, Jesse Crain, Alex Rios and Matt Thornton.
"I have no explanation for it. I really don't," Danks said. "Those are good players and there's a reason why other teams wanted them. We are just playing better baseball."
Red Sox: Peavy re-energized
Joining a team in the AL playoff race has Peavy as motivated as ever to excel on the mound. Beating his old squad would just be icing on the cake.
"You just want to win," Peavy said. "At the end of the day, all of us athletes have that burning. I want to win with absolutely all of me. I want to beat every team I play. I especially want to beat my buddies, because I don't want to have to hear about it. But at the end of the day, it's not going to affect any friendships. It's not going to do anything. It's out of respect for the game, respect for your city, your teammates, you put the uniform on and you go out there and do all you can do during that three or four hours we play to do all you can do to beat the opposition."
Worth noting
• Peavy has made only one start at Fenway Park since joining the Red Sox. On Aug. 3, he held the D-backs to two runs on four hits over seven innings.
• In his career, Dunn is batting .179 (5-for-28) with two home runs and 10 strikeouts against Peavy.

Integrating BTM with iBatis
iBatis can be integrated straight with any JTA transaction manager. These instructions have been verified against BTM 2.0.1.
JTA datasources
iBatis cannot directly create a BTM PoolingDataSource
. You will have to create them yourself (either via the API or the Resource Loader) and make sure they are bound to a JNDI server.
Setting up the BTM JNDI server
You have to bind the datasources and the transaction manager to some JNDI server. You can use any one you wish, but BTM 2.x.x ships with one you might find more convenient to use.
It is very easy to use it in a standalone J2SE application. Just create a jndi.properties file at the root of your classpath. It should only contain this line:
You can now just create a InitialContext with the no-args constructor to have access to it.
API way: Creating the datasources
As you can expect, you will need to create one PoolingDataSource
per database. Say that you want to use two Embedded Derby databases, and configure them via the BTM API. Here is what your code would look like:
Finally, here is the code to bind the datasources:
Resource Loader way: Creating the datasources
You can use BTM's Resource Loader instead of the BTM API. It is usually a good idea when you want to create a fully standalone application as you can get rid of the datasources creation, JNDI binding and shutdown code.
Create a datasources.properties
file in the current directory containing these properties:
In your application code, you will have to configure BTM to use the resource loader:
This has the exact same behavior as creating the PoolingDataSource
objects and binding them to JNDI yourself. It is just more convenient.
iBatis SqlMapClients
You need to configure exactly one SqlMapClient
per datasource.
Datasource JNDI location
You have to tell iBatis where to get the BTM datasource via JNDI. Add a DataSource
property to the dataSource
tag and set its value to the JNDI location of your datasource:
Transaction Manager JNDI location
You have to set transactionManager
tag's type attribute to JTA
and wrap the dataSource
tag in it.
SqlMapConfig XML configuration files
Here is what the SqlMapConfig1.xml
file will look like for the first datasource.
And here is the SqlMapConfig2.xml
for the second datasource:
End result
Now that iBatis and BTM are properly configured, you can simply use the JTA and iBatis APIs in your application.
Application code
Here is what your code will look like when you want to update the content of both databases atomically:
Say that persistUser()
creates a new user, in no way will a user be created in one database and not in the other.
You can download a sample runnable application putting these explanations in practice. It contains all the code that has been skipped for clarity in this page. Both the API and Resource Loader ways are implemented so you can try both and see which one you prefer.
You can download this demo here: iBatisBTM2x.zip.
There is an ant build.xml file included as well as a the necessary batch and shell scripts required to run the application from Windows or Unix.
Before you run the application, you have to create the Derby database. Just run the included derby-create.sh or derby-create.bat script to do so, it will create two directories called users1 and users2. Then you can start the demo by either running run_api.sh or run_api.bat for the API version, run_rl.sh or run_rl.bat for the Resource Loader version.
Here is the list of JAR files with version required to run this demo. They're all included in the downloadable ZIP file.

SABE - Survey on Health, Well-Being, and Aging in Latin America and the Caribbean, 2000 (ICPSR 3546)
Principal Investigator(s): Pelaez, Martha, Pan American Health Organization; Palloni, Alberto, University of Wisconsin; Albala, Cecilia, University of Chile; Alfonso, Juan Carlos, Centro de Estudios de Poblacion y Desarrolo (CEPDE); Ham-Chande, Roberto, Instituto Nacional de la Nutricion; Hennis, Anselm, University of West Indies; Lebrao, Maria Lucia, University of Sao Paulo; Lesn-Diaz, Esther, Centro de Estudios de Poblacion y Desarrolo (CEPDE); Pantelides, Edith, Centro de Estudios de Poblacion/CENAP; Prats, Omar, University of Uruguay
The Survey on Health, Well-Being, and Aging in Latin America and the Caribbean (Project SABE) was conducted during 1999 and 2000 to examine health conditions and functional limitations of persons aged 60 and older in the countries of Argentina, Barbados, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Mexico, and Uruguay, with special focus on persons over 80 years of age. Project SABE was administered in the official language of each country: Spanish in Buenos Aires (Argentina), Mexico City (Mexico), Santiago (Chile), Havana (Cuba), and Montevideo (Uruguay), English in Bridgetown (Barbados), and Portuguese in Sao Paulo (Brazil). Goals of the project were to (a) describe the health conditions of older adults (aged 60 and older with special focus on persons over 80) with regard to chronic and acute diseases, disability, and physical and mental impairment, (b) evaluate the extent to which older adults used and had access to health care services, including services that are outside the formal system (local healers, traditional medicine), (c) evaluate the proportional contribution by principal sources of support -- relatives and family networks, public assistance, and private resources (income, assets) -- towards meeting the health-related needs of older adults, (d) evaluate access to health insurance offered by private organizations, governmental institutions, and mixed systems, as well as the extent to which that insurance was actually used, (e) analyze the differentials in the self-evaluation of health conditions, access to health care, and sources of support with regard to socioeconomic group, gender, and birth cohort, (f) evaluate the relationships between strategic factors -- health-related behavior, occupational background, socioeconomic status, gender, and cohort -- and health conditions, according to the health evaluation at the time of the survey, and (g) carry out comparative analyses in countries that share similar characteristics but that differ with regard to such factors as the role of family support, public assistance, access to health services, and health-related behavior and exposure to risk. Demographic variables include age, sex, race, level of education, birthplace, religion, ethnic group, marital status, and income. Also examined were cognitive status, health status, functional status, nutritional status, and use and accessibility of services

Indians looking to spoil Giants' homecoming
San Francisco hoping offense rolls in return to AT&T Park
If it's true that there's no place like home, the Giants have to be happy about heading back to the Bay Area this weekend.
Their road trip finale notwithstanding -- although it should be noted that they hit six home runs, including one grand slam -- the Giants were in search of their offensive mojo, having hit .166 as a team through the first five games. They were also batting at an .063 clip with runners in scoring position and had averaged 1.8 runs per game.
But they're 5-4 at AT&T Park, and they're coming off a convincing performance at the plate after about a week of very little going right.
"We still have to do a little better job with men on base," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We're leaving some guys stranded, not moving guys. And that's got to pick up a little bit. But still, you're seeing better at-bats."
The Giants will open a three-game Interleague series Friday with the Indians, who beat the Royals, 5-1, on Thursday to reach the .500 mark, but who are a game under .500 on the road.
The Indians will send right-hander Carlos Carrasco to the mound with the intent to help him to his first win of 2014. In his last outing against the Blue Jays at home Sunday, he took a no-decision after allowing four earned runs over 5 2/3 innings, walking three and striking out five. He's winless in three starts.
The Giants will counter with Tim Hudson, who has struggled in his career against the Indians, posting a 1-2 record and a 6.33 ERA over eight appearances. He has never faced Cleveland in Interleague Play.
Giants: Offense coming around?
This club was in need of some kind of outburst, and it got just that in the series finale with the Rockies on Wednesday. Before they scored 12 runs in that game, the Giants had scored two runs or fewer in six of their previous seven games.
But the games have been close, including their 12-10 win over the Rockies to end that series. Additionally, 10 of their past 13 games have been decided by one run.
Indians: Stingy pitchers
The Tribe have allowed 14 home runs this season, the fewest in the Majors behind only Atlanta (nine) and San Diego (13). When the Royals' Mike Moustakas went deep in the fourth inning Wednesday, it ended a streak of 42 consecutive homerless innings for the Indians' staff as a whole, including 27 2/3 frames for the rotation.
The bullpen, specifically, has been a bright spot. After Thursday's finale, the relievers have posted a 2.74 ERA, third in the AL behind Boston and Oakland. The 'pen's .214 opponents' average is second lowest in the league and fourth lowest in the Majors. Relievers have stranded 29 of 32 inherited runners for a Major League-best 90.6 success rate.
Worth noting
• The Giants and Indians will play each other for the first time since 2011. That year, the Giants swept the Indians in a three-game Interleague set in San Francisco.
• Overall, San Francisco is 5-4 vs. Cleveland.
• The Giants have ended a 22-game stretch in which they played NL West opponents to open the 2014 season.
• San Francisco's Sergio Romo ended a string of seven scoreless outings when he allowed a home run Wednesday, but before that, opponents were hitting .045 (1-for-22) against him with eight strikeouts over a week-long span.
• The Giants' Pablo Sandoval was lifted for a pinch-runner in the seventh because of a stomach virus, so presumably, he'll benefit from the day off and be ready to play Friday.

Palma (pron.: /ˈpɑːlmə/, Catalan: [ˈpaɫmə], Spanish: [ˈpalma]), in full Palma de Mallorca,[1] is the major city and port on the island of Majorca (Mallorca) and capital city of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands in Spain. The names Ciutat de Mallorca (City of Majorca) and Ciutat (City) were used before the War of the Spanish Succession and are still used by people in Majorca. However, the official name was Mallorca, the same as the island.[2] It is situated on the south coast of the island on the Bay of Palma. As of the 2009 census, the population of the city of Palma proper was 401,270, and the population of the entire urban area was 517,285, ranking as the twelfth largest urban area of Spain. Almost half of the total population of Majorca live in Palma. The Cabrera Archipelago, though widely separated from Palma proper, is administratively considered part of the municipality. Its airport, Son Sant Joan, serves over 22 million passengers each year. The Marivent Palace was offered by the city to the then Prince Juan Carlos I of Spain. The royals have since spent their summer holidays in Palma.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

Gnome 3, Unity, and Xfce are practically tied on 2nd place.
Cinnamon is only available via the "Other" option which means that any claim of Cinnamon being more popular than Gnome 3 is unfounded.
Gnome is #2 with more than twice as many votes as Xfce.
This is the only listed poll in which Gnome 3 does not occupy one of the top spots. Considering it's Mint, it's not surprising. Gnome 3 still beat Unity, btw.
Gnome 3 is #2.
Gnome 3 is far in front of Cinnamon, Unity, MATE,…
Outdated version of that poll. Gnome 3 is on #3 spot in both the outdated and the current one, though.
No one even voted for Unity or Cinnamon so far.
And still Gnome 3 is #1 here.
If your links to polls made a point, then to make KDE's Plasma Desktop default and drop Cinnamon because no one except the Mint crowd seems to actually care and Xfce established itself as alternative for followers of Gnome's traditional UI. The polls also are evidence that Gnome 3 is actually well received, ranking among the top spots.

Nice Results - 4/3/2015 1:24:46 PM This is the second time to buy and so far it has been a wonderful facial cream. It has helped to keep wrinkles at bay, it is a little pricey though, however , a little goes a long way.This is my second review - 11/6/2013 11:52:31 AM I posted my first review in 2006, when I had just started using my first bottle of this product. Now, it is 2013, and I am definitely hooked. It protects the scalp and it is a hair product, plus it has antioxidants in it to heal the scalp. After all this years, I have tried other light sunscreens, and found them oily. This is the best product of its type that I have found. Highly recommended, although not cheap. I wished it was a little less expensive.Do not purchase - 5/11/2012 6:21:25 AM Was incredibly disappointed. The product is grainy (not sure why it would have small grains that feel like sand in it...) and definitely weighs hair down. I have long, sort of fine, blonde hair and i let it air dry with the product, and then tried blow drying my hair. In both cases it left a greasy residue. Would never purchase again and would warn anyone else from doing the same.I may not be a fair judge.....yet - 7/19/2011 11:40:12 AM I have only been using this product for about 1 month, so I amy not be a fair judge. So far, it has not made any impact on my horrible dark circles! But, I don't think there is anything out there that can help me :-( I'll keep using and hope for the best!Perfect for pool - 7/18/2011 5:58:52 AM I bought this product to protect my scalp where my hair naturally parts -- I just put a dab on my finger and run it along my part. This is great for sun protection at the pool. Smells great too!Great Product - 1/16/2011 5:07:30 PM I have been using this cream since a dermotologist recommended it 7 years ago. I have never had to use a moisturizer again. And the compliments on my skin just keep increasing (pretty good for 55 yrs!). I'm not even sure why my dermotologist wanted me to use it on my face but I will continue. One tube lasts about a year so the price actually is not that bad.Very gentle, very effective - 11/16/2009 8:59:47 AM I was using Aveeno's Ultra-Calming Cleanser, but decided to give this a try because Aveeno was running out quickly all the time and I had to constantly repurchase. Well, not only that but Aveeno's foaming action was a bit too drying on my skin. This is oh so gentle though, and very effective. It might not sound like this has much, but this is making my skin feel very smooth and it has become less irritated (inflamed). The only sensitivity I have to products is acne, but somehow the gentleness (I guess the aloe, cucumber, and chamomile) is doing my skin very well.Truly love this product - 6/11/2008 3:40:39 AM I've been using this product for a little over a year now, and the results have gotten only better. It did so well on my eyes that I started using just a tiny dot on the creases in my brow and on the deep lines between my eyes. There has been a definite improvement. The lines in my forehead are not near as deep as they used to be. In the last few months I've started using it on the creases beside my nose and down to the sides of my mouth. I can't say if it will work for everyone, but I've seen definite improvement.Feels good - 5/25/2008 1:55:23 AM I mix the serum C with a dab of my regular moisterizer and it makes my skin feel soft and healthy. Mixing it makes it feel less sticky.Actually works! - 4/2/2008 5:06:27 AM I am used to shelling out money for products that reduce dark cirlces that just don't deliver. I decided to try this because of the combination of Retinol and Vitamin K. Also, the individual pods prevent the retinol from deteriorating. This WORKS! It has dramatically reduced my undereye circles. It has also made my fine lines a little finer, and it makes the skin sooooo smooth! Definately worth the money I paid for it. -

These towels are super soft and a great size. I didn't realize how worn down my older towels were until these arrived. They definitely need 2-3 wash/dry cycles to tame the fuzzy lint. Out of 11 sets of towels (22 large towels, 22 hand towels, 22 wash clothes), three large towels have unraveled in the interior towel looping. One washcloth became 'unseamed' after a wash cycle (hand stitched the seam back up, works fine now), and four towels have had fraying along the edge binding. Some careful snipping with sharp scissors have made the problem areas neater, but it was disappointing to have these problems when the towels are otherwise so nice.
Great product with an excellent price! Haven't washed many times yet so can't comment on their color lasting. But, so far so good!
I've had other so called luxury towels in the past, but these towels are absolutely the softest. They are also very absorbent without being too heavy. I have only washed them once (before using), so I can't really speak to how well they will wear. There was no pilling and no threads coming loose from the wash. They were a little more expensive than I've paid before, but the extra expense is definitely worth the luxury!
I bought this for a friend. They are thick. The color is good as is the feel
Some of the reviews comment that these are not "luxury" quality: if you're looking for thick/dense towels, then you may be disappointed. They are, however, very soft, attractive and well in the range of what I was looking for. I am picky about colors to in my Edwardian home. The bathroom walls are sage and buttery cream with warm oak-colored floors. I wanted a muted shade that would not be overbearing. The sage is pretty close to being grey, with just a bit of sage tone. I did not want towels that were so dense/thick that they would take 3 hours to dry either hanging in the bathroom or in the clothes dryer. These are not very thick but are very soft, which is what I was looking for. I washed and dried them. There were a couple of loose threads around the edges, but no fraying or funky shrinkage. I have enough confidenct in them to order another set today.
These were returned. The color was really off.
Bought these for a wedding gift, and they were much appreciated.
I gave these as a house warming gift. They said they loved them, but what else would they say? Take them back we don't like em?
thick, good quality, wash well.
