Just as you can't assume the double play, you can't assume Justin Verlander will win every game. Verlander certainly pitched well enough to win Thursday's getaway game in Seattle, allowing just two runs on nine hits while walking one and striking out a season high 12. But Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma matched him in the outs department, if not in strikeouts, and the bullpen of Carter Capps and Tom Wilhelmsen backed him up nicely in a 2-0 victory. "Once again, good pitching," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said to John Keating in the postgame show. "Both guys, both starters were good. They got the one big hit, two out and a base hit and then the pinch hitter came through for them and they added one on. "You saw a lot of good pitching in this series and looks to me like their bullpen is really good. Capps and Wilhelmsen came in and they're both nasty. Verlander did not allow a run until there were two outs in the seventh. Pinch hitter Kyle Seager had an RBI double for the first...

The Bakersfield Condors came back from a 1-0 third-period deficit to defeat the Stockton Thunder 2-1 and now hold a 3-1 series lead.
After a scoreless first period, Stockton's Marc Canton tallied midway through the second to give the home side the advantage.
Bakersfield finally tied the game with 7:51 to go in the third after Jordan Knackstedt scored.
The game looked destined for overtime but Joel Broda tallied with 1:39 to play to make it a 2-1 final.
Oilers prospect Laurent Brossoit faced 30 shots, making 29 saves.
The Condors can wrap the series up on Saturday. If necessary, Games 6 and 7 will be back in Bakersfield on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
In the WHL final, the Portland Winterhawks and Edmonton Oil Kings are all tied up. They also both boast big home-ice advantages. Both teams are undefeated at home in the playoffs. The Winterhawks are 9-0-0-0 while the Oil Kings, after wins in games three and four, are 10-0-0-0.
That may end sometime sooner rather than later and the Oil Kings are hoping it is them who gets the first road win of the series.
"We've had a good home record all year," Edmonton defenceman Griffin Reinhart said. "We won a lot of games in that building so we are pretty comfortable but we knew coming into this series that we'd have to win at least one on the road and our mindset going into this game is hopefully tonight."
In order to do just that, the Oil Kings will try to keep up their pace on the penalty kill. They killed all three of their penalties in game four while getting a 26-save performance from Tristan Jarry in a 2-0 shutout. That's quite the feat as it was the first time in 247 games the Winterhawks had been shutout. It's even more impressive that, since game one, the Winterhawks have gone 0-for-11 on the power play. Portland ranks third overall in these playoffs, scoring at 23.6% on the man advantage.
Discipline was something the Oil Kings emphasized, ahead of tonight's game five, both with turnovers and penalties.
"I think with the first two games, just the turnovers," Griffin Reinhart said. We can't continue doing that. They're going to capitalize on our mistakes and they've been doing that the first two games. We've got to stick to our structure and play a disciplined game. They're good on the power play and anytime they can explode, it's never a safe lead so we've got to savour the discipline."
The Edmonton Oil Kings have gotten a boost from their third line of Mads Eller, Riley Kieser and Luke Bertolucci and that's help translate into wins for a team that started the series down two games to none. Edmonton has since tied their WHL final series with the Portland Winterhawks at 2-2 heading into a big game five tonight.
Although that third line hasn't scored many goals, they've been contributing heavily on the penalty kill and in the face-off dot while providing energy. The head coach says he feels like it's a matter of time before it becomes critical mass with that line contributing more on the score sheet.
"I think it's very important to have that third line, they're your energy guys," Oil Kings Head Coach Derek Laxdal said. "They're going to score in the series. They're getting close. Obviously, Bertolucci scored a huge goal for us in game three but Mads Eller, Riley Kieser, those kids score at the most opportune times just because they work so hard. Their contributions penalty-kill wise and Riley Kieser on face offs, has been outstanding. That's a line that they kind of wear you down. They're not flashy, they just have that great work ethic and they get pucks to the net and find ways to get goals and I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up scoring a goal tonight for us."
With the help of their third line, the Oil Kings have not allowed a power-play goal since game one. That was a 4-on-3 tally in the second period on May 3. Since then, Portland is 0-for-11 on the man advantage.
"I think we're just trying to bring that energy," Kieser said. "Every game we're competing hard and trying to battle against their top lines and trying to be good in our own zone and that will reflect in the offensive zone. Just trying to get energy for our team and stuff like that."
On the road, in a pivotal game five and with the series tied, secondary scoring from that line would really bring the energy for the already surging Oil Kings.
The Edmonton Oilers have signed draft pick Bogdan Yakimov, 19, to a three-year entry level contract. The Oilers selected Yakimov in the third round, 83rd overall, in last year's draft.
Yakimov is 6-foot-4 and weighs in at 220 pounds. He spent this past season with Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik in the KHL where he tallied 12 points (7-5-12) in 33 games.
The Oilers' first-overall pick in 2012, Nail Yakupov, also played for Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik (2012-13).

The Bakersfield Condors dropped Game 3 of their best-of-seven Western Conference Semifinal series against the Stockton Thunder on Wednesday night by a score of 6-2.
The Condors actually opened the scoring in this one on a late first-period goal by Joel Broda.
Stockton replied with a pair of tallies in the second to take a 2-1 lead. Two early goals in the third made it 4-1.
It was 5-1 before the Condors would find the twine again, a Chase Schaber goal just past the 15-minute mark. The Thunder would add an empty netter to make it a 6-2 final.
Oilers prospect Laurent Brossoit faced 22 shots, making 17 saves. Despite allowing five goals, Brossoit still has a 1.69 goals-against average and .937 save percentage through eight games in these playoffs.
The next two games are also in Stockton this Friday and Saturday. If necessary, Games 6 and 7 will be back in Bakersfield on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
When the Edmonton Oil Kings came back from being down 2-0 early to eventually take game three of the WHL final by a score of 3-2, it showed quite the resiliency. With Portland seemingly on the attack, the Oil Kings didn't backdown and eventually pushed back, controlling the pace of the second period and scoring three-unanswered goals in the game to beat Portland.
It was a surprise in last night's post-game press conference when the players and coach said it was the backup goaltender who had an impact on the game, without even seeing one minute of ice time.
"What wasn't he doing? I guess that's the real question," Curtis Lazar said of goaltender Tyler Santos. "Just to see what he's been able to do this season in his role, he's always out there, he doesn't always get the ice time he deserves but he's the emotional leader on the bench just keeping us positive, chirping the other team, getting that mental edge and having fun with it. It was really neat to see. He brought us all together but he also allowed us to relax and just have some fun out there."
Santos has played just 13 games this season for Edmonton and none in the playoffs. But his presence was felt on the Oil Kings bench last night as Santos cheered on the team, provided motivation and energy to his teammates. This isn't anything new for Santos, who head coach Derek Laxdal says has been a great teammate longer than just last night.
"I actually brought him in the other day, two days ago, and we just talked about how great of a teammate he's been," Laxdal said. "He hasn't played a lot for us this year and he comes in the dressing room every morning, he's positive, he's ready to go and the practice that he puts in. He's out there scrimmaging every day with the black aces and finding his way. Here's a kid that's been a great soldier for us and a great teammate, a positive vibe in our dressing room and he's been great on our bench. It's good to see him get a little bit of love last night from the guys."
Being the backup can be a tough pill to swallow. Obviously you'd like to be on the ice and helping your teammates but Santos has found a different way to be involved and help the Oil Kings win games.
"It's not an easy role being back up and not getting many touches," Laxdal said. "Obviously the ride and the experience that he's experiencing right now, I'm sure he's enjoying it but you have to have that glue, you have to have that type of character in your dressing room and he's been a big part of that."
Over the course of these 2014 WHL playoffs, Oil Kings centre Curtis Lazar has traditionally played his best games in the opening contest of each series. In game ones this post-season, Lazar has seven points (2-5-7) in four games. This series has started off slow offensively for Lazar however, with him not recording a point until last night's crucial game three win over Portland.
As the "heartbeat of the team," according to his head coach, Lazar is an important piece for Edmonton as they look to knock off Portland. Oil Kings Head Coach Derek Laxdal said last night after the win that Lazar is starting to look like himself.
"I had a chat with Curtis this morning and we just talked about his first two games," Laxdal said last night. "When Curtis is playing well what does he do? Smiles. I said, get that smile back in your game. I thought he got that smile back tonight and with that comes the energy in Curtis' game."
Lazar says he's feeling more comfortable.
"I'm gripping my stick a little less tight," he said. "I'm just enjoying myself out there. It was a big game for us last night but also for myself, for my confidence standpoint. I was really happy with my play, I'm contributing in all ways and I'm looking to build off my performance last night."
In a series like the final where it could wind up being a long and tough battle, having Lazar build momentum the deeper it goes could be huge for the Oil Kings. That doesn't necessarily only mean point production for the centre.
"Momentum," Lazar said. "It's a scary thing in the playoffs and if I can continue to improve each and every game it's going to really benefit our team. I key in on those little details and the statistics, the goals and assists are good and all but the blocked shots, the face offs and all other things too, I'm really keeping an eye on those stats as well."
The Edmonton Oil Kings are undefeated on home ice in these 2014 WHL playoffs. Down 2-0 in their WHL finals series to Portland, the club is excited to be back home and have a chance to even up the series with game three tonight and game four tomorrow night in Edmonton.
It's still hockey weather out there Edmonton! Bring the family down to Rexall tonight and get loud for playoffs. #Finals #YEG @EdmOilKings
— Mitch Moroz (@MitchMoroz) May 6, 2014
"I'm excited to get going," forward Curtis Lazar said. "Our fans have supported us all season. I mean, we're comfortable here. We're used to the environment, we're used to the ice and I think we're going to have a pretty good push back tonight."
The Oil Kings are 8-0-0-0 in these playoffs at Rexall Place and have a comfort level associated with their pre-game routines in Edmonton.
"Kid's are sleeping in their own beds, they get the chance to prepare the best way and they have that ritual of coming to the game tonight as they've done in all of the playoff games," Oil Kings Head Coach Derek Laxdal said. "For us, it's just a matter of we've got to focus on what we do and there's some areas of the game that we can get better at, i.e. turnovers, i.e. bad penalties, more shots to the net, a little bit more intensity in our game and those are things that are easy to change. It's just a mindset, sharpening up those little details of the game."
"It's definitely nice to be home," added forward Mitch Moroz. "Both teams are better at home and they look forward to being on home ice. We're hoping to take advantage of it and make a series of it and get the first one here at home."
The Edmonton Oil Kings have been outscored 8-3 in the first two games of their best-of-seven WHL finals series against the Portland Winterhawks. Edmonton's head coach Derek Laxdal told the media this morning, in advance of a pivotal game three at home, that the team needs their top forwards to ramp it up a notch.
Henrik Samuelsson scored the lone goal for the Oil Kings in game two and Laxdal said he may have been the team's best forward in that game. But it's time for the team's other top forwards to step up.
"I thought he's taken a step in his game," Laxdal said of Samuelsson. "I thought he was our best forward in game two. We need some of our other top forwards to step up tonight. Obviously, Reid Petryk has only got five or six points in the playoffs and he needs to take a step tonight. Mitch Moroz, I don't think has a point in the last six games, he needs to take a step. Even Curtis Lazar, he's the heartbeat of the hockey club. He needs to match the intensity of Henrik Samuelsson. These players know. We're not calling them out, they know what they have to do and we're going to need everybody on board tonight."
In a pivotal game three in their WHL finals series against Portland, the Edmonton Oil Kings would sure like to grab the early lead. This would turn the tables on the Winterhawks who scored 2:50 into the first period in game one and twice in the first four minutes of game two.
"I think those games look a little differently if we don't spot them two and three goal leads," Edmonton forward Mitch Moroz said. "That's hard to battle back from. I know we're a resilient team but when you get down against a team like Portland, who's always on their toes and turning the puck up, you are behind in the fight and you've got to find it in yourselves to get yourself that early lead. That'll be the game plan tonight."
Although scoring the first goal would be nice, Edmonton Head Coach Derek Laxdal told the media this morning that even just keeping the game close would be a success.
"It's not about scoring the first goal, it's about keeping the game close and within striking distance," the head coach said. "Even when we were down 2-0 after the first five minutes the other night, I didn't mind where we were. We had a lot of hockey left to play in that game and if we get the first goal it gets us to 2-1 and now the game is close. But when it gets to 3-0 we start chasing that game and we have to start opening up a little bit. But we want to keep the game close. If we get the first goal tonight then so be it. It will create a little confidence and a little energy in our team."

DanceWorks Hosts Compagnie Flak's Toronto Debuts of VILLANELLE and S, Now thru 4/20
DanceWorks, Toronto's longest-running contemporary dance series, presents the Toronto premiere of Villanelle and S, from Montreal's renowned Compagnie Flak, choreographed by Artistic Director José Navas. This acclaimed double bill runs two nights only - tonight, April 19 and Saturday, April 20 - at Fleck Dance Theatre, part of Harbourfront Centre's NextSteps.
Villanelle (2009) is a short, meditative solo that opens the evening, performed by Alexandre Jolicoeur to Antonio Vivaldi's Cum dederit delectis suis Somnum: Andante. Navas revisits the fixed verse form of a villanelle, a poem with a distinctive pattern of rhyme and repetition, after being inspired by Dylan Thomas' "Do not go gentle into that good night." Villanelle premiered at the MilanOltre Festival in Milan, Italy.
S (2008), performed by eight dancers, stunning in their presence and vulnerability, evokes human nature through the expression of pure movement. Navas structures S like a musical score and likens the dancers to instruments crafted by Stradivarius, satisfying the highest technical demands and making the most formal movement personal and dramatic. An abstract and organic work with the precision and energy of calligraphy, the piece inhabits the music of Erik Satie (Gymnopédies and Gnossiennes). An encounter with grace.
S, which premiered at the Concertgebouw Brugge in Bruges, Belgium as part of the December Dance 08 Festival, has also been performed to critical acclaim in Quebec, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Norway.
Venezuelan-born and Montréal-based José Navas studied in Caracas and at the Merce Cunningham Studio in New York City, before moving to Canada in 1991. He founded Compagnie Flak in 1995 and has since choreographed over 30 pieces for both stage and film, touring his works extensively across the Americas, Europe and Asia. Among the landmark group pieces on his choreographic journey are One Night Only 3/3 (1998), Perfume de Gardenias (2000), Adela, mi amor (2003), Portable Dances (2005), Anatomies (2006) and Diptych (2011). His aesthetically beautiful solos include Sterile Fields (1996), Solo with Cello (2001), Miniatures (2008) and Personæ (2011). Choreographer-in-residence for Ballet BC since the summer of 2010, Navas created Bliss (2012), and premieres a new version of Giselle for them, April 25-27. He is also preparing a new creation for the National Ballet of Canada's Innovation series for 2013-14. Navas premieres his solo The Rite of Spring this coming May for the Concertgebouw, Brugge, accompanied by the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra. http://www.flak.org

Thank you for stopping by the new 7-Sons.com!
Mike, does all his carving and finishing work at his home in Marengo, IL, and considers chain saw carving a labor of love, not a job. Mike, who started out competing in snow sculpting, was inspired to become a professional chain saw carver after seeing carvers at various county fairs. To Bihlmaier, carving is more of an art form than a skill and likens the craft more towards classical sculpture than traditional wood carving. Mike asserts that he hasn't carved his hardest piece yet, but one of his most challenging projects so far was 22-foot red-tailed hawk on a 3-sided pillar that he carved out of white oak for a country club.

I mentioned a few posts back that my husband works in the healthcare industry, and that medicare/healthcare reform was doing in his company... Well, it is all but finished. Our beautiful little town will not be the same without it's largest employer. Sad.
I am grateful beyond words that he has found a new employer and great job. I only wish it could've been a little closer. We are about to tackle a 500 mile relocation to Eastern, New Mexico. I actually spent much of my childhood in NW New Mexico, so the location doesn't bother me, too much...
My real concerns are about Emma and her healthcare, which is primarily in Houston, TX. We are about to rack up some serious frequent flyer miles! Ouch. We may eventually move her specialist care back to Denver, but until the genetic research is done there is no way we will leave TCH, and besides, we will have to fly out either way. We will figure it out.
There are actually some wonderful perks about the new location. We will be closer to some of the kids grandparents and much closer to the mountains! I see many, many mountain adventures in our future. My happy place! My son is also thrilled to be close to Texas Tech, where he dreams of playing football in college. My father-in-law bought him season tickets to the games this fall to help make the move a little sweeter. He rocks.
I am happy to report that I have simmered down from my previous post and Emma is doing well. She is no longer spilling protein, which is a HUGE, massive unexplainable relief!! We are doing some new things to help strengthen her bones and hoping for a good report when she has a bone scan this summer. Like everything in her life it's complicated. We have to be careful about giving calcium because of her kidneys, we have to limit dairy because of her allergies, we have to coat in her in sunblock because of her Lupus-like sun issues, we haven't been able to stop her inhaled steroids which may be complicating things... Oh my. She's a mess! An adorable, amazing, sweet and sassy little mess. She has a tough road ahead, no doubt, but she is going to be OK. I'm going to make sure of that. I'm looking forward to spending a lot more time with my amazing kids in the coming months.
On to the next phase....
My best,

As your database grows in size, Analysis Services cubes that use that database grow along with it. As such, one thing that can improve performance of your cube is partitioning (splitting up) your measures. In this post, I am going to quickly show you how to switch from a table binding partition (default) to a query binding partition using a cube that I have built off of the AdventureWorksDW2008R2 database. In the end, you'll know how to split your large measure groups into smaller chunks of data based on the year.
When you have your cube opened, navigate to the Partitions tab. A screenshot of what this tab looks like is shown in figure 1. You can have a partition set up for the entire table (not split up) or you can write queries that would return the data you want to be included in that partition.
Figure 1: Partitions Tab
For my example, I am going to break out my Internet Sales measure by years. Which for the AdventureWorksDW2008R2.dbo.FactInternetSales table, we have 2005 – 2008. So, I'm going to create four partitions starting with 2005. To switch the default table binding partition to query mode, select "Query Binding" binding type as shown in figure 2 below.
Figure 2: Switching the Binding Type
After you switch it to query binding, you'll be shown a query that you want this partition to contain. Since the first set of Internet Sales records were in 2005, I am just going to update the script to contain "WHERE OrderDateKey <= 20051231" as shown in figure 3.
Figure 3: Update the Script
After modifying the name assigned to my new partition to "Fact Internet Sales 2005" and choosing to design aggregations later, I now have the results shown in figure 4.
Figure 4: Partition Created for 2005
Now, I need to click on the "New Partition…" link to create my other partitions in a similar fashion. The slimmed down scripts used to create each of these partitions are shown in script 1.
Script 1: Queries to Partition by Year
--2005 Internet Sales Partition Query
FROM [dbo].[FactInternetSales]
WHERE OrderDateKey <= '20051231'
--2006 Internet Sales Partition Query
WHERE OrderDateKey >= '20060101' AND OrderDateKey <= '20061231'
--2007 Internet Sales Partition Query
WHERE OrderDateKey >= '20070101' AND OrderDateKey <= '20071231'
--2008 Internet Sales Partition Query
WHERE OrderDateKey >= '20080101' AND OrderDateKey <= '20081231'
The results after creating all of these partitions should look like that shown in figure 5 below.
Figure 5: All Yearly Partitions Created
That's all there is to creating partitions. So, after assigning these partitions to my AggregationDesign as shown in the example above, deploying and reprocessing, accessing the data within the partitions should be much quicker than having to search through a massive table containing hundreds of millions of records.
I hope that you have enjoyed this post. If you did, please take just a moment to rate it below! Also, if you don't already, please be sure to follow me on twitter at @briankmcdonald. Also note that you can subscribe to an RSS feed of my blogs.

Nice review of how to set up and configure query binding to create partitions Brian. Thanks. Although you built your queries with this in mind, I think it is important to note that it is a cardinal rule in partition design that there should be NO overlap and NO gaps between partitions. In other words your 2006 partition constrains the data with
If your query was:
WHERE OrderDateKey >= '20060101' AND OrderDateKey < '20061231' Or:
WHERE OrderDateKey >= '20060101' AND OrderDateKey < '20061231'
WHERE OrderDateKey >= '20060101' AND OrderDateKey <= '20070101'
you would have data integrity problems in your cube. In the first case you could have data missing for the December 31 2006. For the second you will double your numbers for January 1 2007 because of the overlap. When building several queries in a row for several partitions it is very easy to cut and paste and put a typo in your operators, or typo in your criteria and end up with data problems.
You are so right. And as I wrote my blog, I made it a note as to not have any missing or overlap. My queries would not have either one of those, but I guess I could have included that information in my blog post. Thanks for your reply.

I was looking for step by step instructions for cube partition and found the right one here, Thanks!

WHat CPU
Guys you can see from my sig what I have got. I am currently playing a lot of WOW and am still trying to decided what to upgare to do I just go out and but a 3700+ for my current setup or get a 939 and a 3500+ ( it will need to be an AGP I guess NF3). I know the second option is more expensive so I need to make sure that the upgrade will show results.
Re: WHat CPU
Why are you upgrading your processor for WoW? The difference will be negligable at your performance level. My second computer plays WoW great @ 1280x960(Monitor limitation for decent refresh) @ 4xAA/16xAF @ a steady 75 + FPS.
Re: WHat CPU
Well its also for CS:S, I am also limited to 1280*1024 btw.
Re: WHat CPU
Go 939 and pick up a venice 3700 :)
Re: WHat CPU
And I got anandtech and gamespot backing me up on this one.
Re: WHat CPU
Yeah me too. I run the game at 1280x1024 @ 4AA (ingame)/8AF(CP) (max possible ingame settings) with a FPS around 30~40 but not 75+, I play in the 3rd person so thats why its low, If I play in First Person I can stay around 40~50, indoors I shoot up to 85 (vsync on).
Re: WHat CPU
When I had the game, my 2600+ (OCed to 2.2GHz) and 6800GT got me 75+ FPS @ 1280x1024 w/4xAA and 16xAF.
Re: WHat CPU
No one has a steady framerate in WoW. I play with vsync enabled so its capped at 85 @ 1600x1200. This is the performance difference in different areas.
Barrens or Badlands: 85fps
ashenvale: 40fps
small towns (like brill or goldshire): 70fps
Orgrimmar or IF: 30fps at best
Grom'gol area: 17fps at best :eek:
This is just some of the performance numbers I remember. What im trying to say is that you cant state an average fps for WoW because it varies so much by your location.
I play at 1600x1200 w/ 4xAA and 16xAF because im totally CPU limited up till that.
Re: WHat CPU
Going from my NF2 TBred 2.2ghz to NF3 Winch 2.5ghz I have a noticed a HUGE difference. Im not sure, but I would def bet the memory bandwidth has a lot to do with it.

I just got a new mare. I'm trying her out for a few months before I buy her to make sure everything works out because she has a few training issues.
There is one thing I am curious about. It is part of the reason we are trying her out because if we can't figure out what it is or how to fix it, then we won't keep her. I have seen other horses do it but I'm not really sure what it is.
The new mare "skips" at the trot. Mostly on the lunge, not really much under saddle, but if she does she works out of it very quickly. We are not sure if it has to do with her feet or her being over-weight... or if it's some kind of previous injury or medical issue. She is pretty overweight, as well as her feet are not angled the greatest and one of her feet is a tiny bit club-footed. Not horrible, barely noticeable, but it's there. The trainer, who is a very honest trainer and friend, said she's always done it but that with different shoeing than she has now, she doesn't do it. She's not lame or anything, but it seems to be when she has pent up energy she starts getting a skip in her step. That is my guess, as I said, she works out of it too and doesn't really do it under saddle. I've only seen her do it on the lunge line.
She is also naturally gaited.
I've seen other horses do it. We had another naturally gaited, out of shape ASB at our barn in the past and he also did it when he was excited. With different shoeing, he quit doing it. They never knew why he did it, though.
Does anyone have experience with this? I tried google and can't find anything on it.
I'm hoping people know what I'm talking about but I may be able to get a video if I go out to the barn tomorrow.

Nice place, plenty ot see and do.
I work in Belfast, used to live in it, drink in it regularly too. Theres plenty of things to do here, Try and get on one of the bus tours, or the taxi tours, and you can see all the murals, and the different areas of Belfast. I would recommend going down to the docks, do the Titanic tour, in my opinion its only workth it, if you can do an actual tour of the shipyard, but sont let me put you off it. Plenty of cinmeas to head to, Odyssey, Dublin Rd, City side, loads of museums, bars etc etc.
Insider Tip:If you want to travel cheaply, you can get a day ticket on the metro buses (£3.90), buy it before 9.30 am, or after 7 pm monday to friday, cheap as chips, also, bus tours, the city sightseeing hop on hop off thing is good if you are clueless about Belfast, used the same thing in Dublin once, you will see plenty, and you'll have some compere to give you a run down of the place. Pints of good beer are going to be about £4.00, wetherspoons or an off licence is cheaper, dont get too wasted, too hard to get i

Lots of responsibility if you want it, at least on large projects, does Granite still do those? Haven't seen one in a while, and no, 50 million is not a large project
Reorganization of HCD/Branch was a disaster, Granite won't be building large work in the west for a while without help

Stability, "employee development", large network of resources. Coworkers generally happy to be at Granite. Opportunities to move around country. Safety culture is very important at the field level. Pursues a wide range of projects and alternative delivery method. The benefits package seems extensive, although some complain that the health insurance is substandard. Also the opportunity to pursue a career in aggregates, qa/qc, safety or environmental aspects of construction is appealing.
Large overhead, not an aggressive contractor. No formal training of any value. Also people are often promoted just for years of service, not ability or work ethic. Also it often times seems that once promoted some middle managers lose touch with work. Although, this phenomenon is most likely present at other contractors and businesses.
Advice to Management
Cut overhead significantly, let branch handle all functions locally, reward more on merit and less on time served. Allow employees the opportunity to evaluate supervisors.

Love conquers all.
When your eyes is gleaming like,
Glass shards.
Love conquers all.
When your emotions are fresh.
The sex is always strong.
Then time over the years.
Partners seem to slack then not,
To care.
Things go right to wrong.
People seem to drift farther then,
Farther apart..
Hurt is in this mess.
So is greatly mental stress.
Finely repair of success.

Stephen Kennedy's (MCP '12) thesis explored information visualizations, especially those utilizing web-based platforms, are becoming an increasingly common medium for exchanging ideas. This emergent class of tools enabling web-based, interactive platforms for visualizing data should be considered by urban planners and designers as an opportunity to create new modes of disseminating and communicating information. This thesis provides an overview of new visualization tools: how they are being developed and combined, their applications, and their potential future uses.
Larry Susskind co-published an opinion piece in a Chilean newspaper yesterday with Daniela Martinez, a Chilean attorney and recent graduate of Harvard Law's LLM program.
Vignesh Krishnamurthy's (MCP/SM '12) thesis found that the last eight decades of urban transportation planning and engineering in the United States have been dominated by the hegemony of the automobile. Auto-oriented planning of the transportation and land use system has had a profound impact on the built environment both in greenfield developments and neighborhoods that predated the auto. The pedestrian quality of cities has been eroded by the automobile, and urban renewal in the United States erased many neighborhoods strongly oriented around walking and transit use.
Seunghyun Kang's (MCP '12) thesis investigates the current situation of public space in the city of Seoul through public libraries. The public library has been one of the most Important civic spaces since the invention in the 19th century in the US or UK. While roles of public library are changing due to advances in digital technology, the physical and visible presence of public library spaces in the city remains significant in the privatized urban situation.
Amy Jacobi's (MCP '12) thesis came to an important conclusion that the current fiscally conservative climate on Capitol Hill, as the next surface transportation bill is being negotiated, may possibly carry over to a greater dependence on fiscal federalism for funding public transportation. With local governments already straining their resources, an examination of how a greater reliance on local funds for public transit is a prudent topic.
Vasudha Gupta's (MCP '12) thesis explored aging in Place allows seniors to remain in their choice of residence for as long as possible, using local services and conveniences to live safely and independently. The Village Model is a component of this movement, recognized as a community-based and peer-support network, which allows older Americans to age in their homes and remain active in their community.
Jaymes Dunsmore's (MCP '12) thesis argues that ideas about a city are powerful forces, and have lasting impacts on the built environment. While not every vision is realized in the built form, every aspect of urban development is the reflection of a vision about what the city should be. This is especially true in Los Angeles. Today, the ideas and trends that shaped the development of that city, and many American metropolises, in the twentieth century are falling away, presenting the opportunity for new visions of downtown development and civic space to take form.
Kathleen Dahlberg's (MCP/SMArchS '12) thesis explores the mid-size American city and examines the deeply nuanced relationship between city form, landscape and culture. Using Springfield Missouri as a representative case study, the city is viewed as a process of transformation, a reading which is used to build a layered spatial comprehension, interpreting the terrain as a set of limits, cultural production, and space of collective desire; and the city as a negotiation between global economic development and local specificity.
Caitlin Cameron (MCP '12) came to the conclusion that we believe we understand food deserts, but we do not. In the last decade the phenomenon of food deserts has been often discussed, and many solutions are proposed to alleviate food access issues in American cities. However, I argue that the efficacy of these solutions is questionable until the causes of urban food deserts are better understood. Beyond the economics of retail grocery exist systemic, physical factors which contribute to the gaps in food access.

"The probationary period will make sure everything works out for both parties," Wood said. "In agreeing to this contract, we've let bygones be bygones."
The Thurman emergency squad is to meet Sunday night to vote on whether to ratify the proposed deal, she said.
"I'm very optimistic at this point," Wood said. "Since I ran for office, I wanted to keep EMS services local all along. The board just wanted to make sure people are protected with adequate medical services, while we stay within the budget and keep it affordable for the taxpayers."
Joyce Eddy said she and hundreds of other
Thurman residents will be happy if the contract is indeed endorsed. She noted that a petition signed by 222 Thurman residents was recently submitted to the town board calling for the local squad to provide services. Many townspeople have worried about the extra time required - as much as 15 or 20 minutes -for Warrensburg squad members to respond to calls, she said, particularly in the remote areas of Thurman.
Eddy knows about how vital quick response is.
Her great-grandson Dakota Beadnell was buried alive about two years ago when a sandbank collapsed near his home. Eddy credited not only the family dog for alerting the family members and pawing at the site he was buried, but she also said the Thurman squad's quick response saved the boy's life.
"Dakota's alive today because of the services they provided, after getting there so quickly," she said.
She added that a lot of Thurman residents are elderly and don't drive, and they are susceptible to various medical crises.
"Without quick response and transportation to the hospital, the elderly might just lay there and die," she said.

COASTAL BEND - Coastal Bend businesses making news:
Susann's reopens with new owners
A couple from Kansas has come to Corpus Christi and reopened a long-standing area jewelry store which recently closed after 30 years in operation.
Audie and Karla Bartel, of Liberal, Kan., are the new owners of Susann's Custom Jewelers, at 4254 S. Alameda St.
The pair have 30 years of jewelry business experience. Audie Bartel is a graduate gemologist.
Susann's, which they have renovated and remodeled, will be the couple's second jewelry store location.
"We were familiar with Susann's and when we heard it was for sale we jumped at the opportunity," Audie Bartel said. "Susann's great history and the chance to move to Corpus Christi made buying Susann's Custom Jewelers an easy decision."
The Bartels plan to offer a new line of diamonds in what Karla Bartel said is a less-cluttered and more visually pleasing store.
They have partnered with a new diamond supplier known worldwide for their expertise in cutting and polishing diamonds, according to a news release.
Ribbon cutting at Planet Fitness
The Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce sponsored a ribbon cutting at Planet Fitness, 5858 S. Padre Island Drive, on Tuesday.
Planet Fitness has packed the parking lots of ailing Sunrise Mall since the gym opened there in 2011.
The gym occupies the former Mervyn's department store space at the mall.

In Colorado, Aspen's three-year-old "canary initiative" has already made a cut in the city's carbon emissions. John Worcester, the ski town's mild-mannered city attorney, tells ABC News that he helped found the initiative so that he could "explain to our grandchildren we did what we could."
Another member of the Aspen group, alternative energy consultant Randy Udall, looking down over the town's buildings, whose carbon emissions his group carefully monitors, tells ABC News this is one global problem that requires local solutions -- everywhere.
"A number of cities around the country now have done an emissions inventory," says Udall. "We think this is going to sweep not just the United States, but eventually it will sweep the world."
California and its famous governor are now the biggest and most visible examples of an attitude toward the burning of fossil fuels that polls show a growing number of Americans believe must become universal.
"It's going to take a federal policy. ... We need it yesterday," says global warming analyst and author Susan Hassol, another member of the Aspen group. "In the meantime, everything that's happening at the local and state level is vital. These are laboratories for the federal policies that we will eventually get."
So far, the closest thing to such a policy -- and the vigorous debate a democracy needs to achieve it -- is to be found in California.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Daniel email@example.com Officially, they're called "trills." But Carol Lambert, a senior conservationist at the Clayton County Water Authority's Newman Wetlands Center in Hampton, calls them "songs." "You can hear them pretty distinctly," she says. "As dusk approaches, it gets louder. When it's night, they make quite the racket. It's primarily a summer thing, when they're singing." Ten kids and 15 adults are scheduled to walk through the Hampton wetlands on Friday night, as part of the preserve's summer program, listening to the ribbits and the croaks of tiny treefrogs and big, fat toads. The species singing will be identified by John Jenson, Department of Natural Resources senior wildlife biologist and an amphibian expert. Jenson's co-authored book was just published: "Amphibians and Reptiles of Georgia." At more then 525 pages, the tome of multi-colored photos -- and apparently endless information on the state's lizards, salamanders, turtles, toads, frogs and snakes -- is a massive resource. Jenson will bring that background and knowledge to the Newman Wetlands on Friday, at about 7 p.m., and lead the group on a half-mile walk around the county preserve, showing the 25 people how to identify and find the local amphibians. "A lot of people like the idea of being able to take a night walk and having somebody tell them what they're hearing. It's kind of an adventure," Lambert said. Anybody who goes out around water in the evening, or at night, in the summer in Georgia, can hear the ruckus of frogs singing, Lambert said, but everything changes when you're taught to distinguish one frog sound from another. The croaking and ribbiting sounds less like noise, and more like what it is: An active habitat. "This program's really for everyone to learn the sounds and to be with someone who hears the calls as well as John," Lambert said. There are a dozen identified species at the wetlands center: Northern Cricket Frog, American Toad, Fowler's Toad, Eastern Narrowmouth Toad, Cope's Gray Treefrog, Green Treefrog, Spring Peeper, Upland Chorus Frog, Bullfrog, Green Frog, Pickerel Frog, and Southern Leopard Frog. According to Harold L. Harbert, with the Department of Natural Resources' Environmental Protection Division, Jenson also can see the amphibians in their native wild even in the dark, and will jump over the wetlands fence to catch a calling frog and bring it back to display. "It just gives you an experience," Harbert said. The frog-walk is just one of the summer programs at the Hampton wetlands center, all of which are intended to give people an experience of nature. Lambert said the wetlands often introduces school children, and even adults, to the sort of wildlife that lives all around them in their own home state. "I guess because we're so urban now, a lot of kids, their experience with nature is from TV and really bad movies, like 'Anaconda,'" Lambert said. "They'll watch the Discovery Channel and see some great nature programs, but they'll know everything about the rain forest and nothing about Georgia." On a recent morning, as a carload of kids from a summer camp came out to tramp the trail at the Water Authority's Wetlands Center, one child told Lambert he thought there were too many trees. "There are a lot of trees, here," she said. "Isn't it great?" "It's kind of weirding me out," the boy said. "Why is it weirding you out?" "You can't see what's in there." "Well," Lambert said to the boy, "let's look at what's in them." --- On the web: www.ccwa1.com

Well it happened yet again, another year has come and gone. My year was filled with plenty of travel, adventure, work at The Cycling House, racing and of course fun! For the first time in nearly a decade I did only 1 triathlon. The break from racing triathlon was a healthy way for me to re-kindle my passion for triathlon and I'm excited to be racing Ironman in 2015! Instead of a full run down of my year here a few of the highlights. In 2015 I plan to get back on the blogging train with updates, race reports and training tips. Here we go….
I completed my 7th year working at The Cycling House! I love working at The Cycling House and I feel fortunate to have a job that I'm incredibly passionate about. I get to work with my best friends and I have learned so many invaluable lessons, skills and grown as a person because of my involvement with TCH. I also have the best boss in the world; Owen Gue, and I'm stoked to be able to work for and learn from one of my best friends.
I was lucky enough to work in Mallorca, Spain for the 4th year with The Cycling House for some amazing trips. My travel to Europe has been a huge perk of the job at TCH! Afterwards my co-worker; Zander, and I traveled through the Spanish Pyrenees in a VW Eurovan. Traveling in a foreign country and experiencing their culture is something that I really love!
I raced in 2014 but instead of triathlon I toed the line at a few mountain bike races and ultra running events. My focus was The Rut Run, a 50 kilometer mountain run in Big Sky, Montana. The race was amazing! I also ran the Phoenix Marathon, North Face 50 miler in Park City, Utah and New Hampshire 100 mountain bike race.
One of the highlights of travel this year was a 4 week bike touring trip with 4 close friends through Ecuador. Letting go and gripping the handlebars of a bicycle with all of your belongings is a very liberating experience. We logged over 1,000 miles of cycling through some beautiful terrain. Ecuador encompasses a diverse topography with immense beauty that begs for adventure. More to come on this epic adventure…
Orange Crusher rocked the United States! I made many short micro-adventure trips in Montana and the NorthWest. We conquered; Arizona, California, Utah, Nevada, Washington, Idaho and Oregon in 2014. GoWesty has helped me keep Crusher running like a top! As a good mechanic once told me; "Your not fixing a VW vanagon you are restoring it and it is all about the journey." My travels in Crusher have provided a new sense of adventure off the beaten path. I look forward to another year traveling the country in my beloved 1990 Orange & White Vanagon named, "Crusher."
Along with all the travel above I managed to get in a great vacation with my beautiful girlfriend; Bri Lui, in the British Virgin Islands, Florida and California. I'm incredibly fortunate to have the most supportive, fun, beautiful gal around! Best of all she is now a licensed Physician Assitant and she got a job in Missoula. I'm super proud of Bri and so happy to have her in my life!
Needless to say, 2014 was jammed packed and 2015 is looking to be another fun filled year. Here we go….
