Packing on a few extra pounds could mean less money in the bank, if you're a woman.
Beyonce might say that pretty hurts, but at least pretty people have more money to wipe away the tears. That's because being physically attractive doesn't just give you more options in the dating game, it can also affect your career.
No matter how educated and capable someone is, multiple studies have found that more attractive workers get better beaks. There's even a word to explain how beauty affects economics: pulchronomic.
MUST READ: SHE'S THE LAW: How A Federal Minimum Wage Increase May Affect You
The term was coined by Daniel Hamermesh, who wrote Beauty Pays in 2011. The book contained data from a study showing that employees with above-average looks earned three to four percent more than their less attractive co-workers. Over the course of someone's life, that adds up to about $230,000 in lost wages just based on overall attractiveness. The effects can be mitigated with good grooming and a great personality.
When it comes to how weight plays into the wage gap, there's not much that can immediately be done to trick people into thinking you're skinnier.
MUST READ: WON'T BACK DOWN: Obama Stands By Students, Minimum Wage Workers & More In New Budget Plan
A video by Vox.com highlighted findings from a 2009 study, which showed that women's earnings could be related directly to how much they weigh. The information came from a 2009 study that found women with a BMI of 35 earn $2.62 less per hour than women with a BMI of 23. That's far below the numerical limit for obesity.
It's important to note that this wage gap cuts both ways. Ladies with a slightly lower BMI than 23 also earned a few less cents per hour. Still women on the heavier side of the spectrum are penalized more harshly for their weight.
While a woman at 21 BMI might earn about $0.30 cents less an hour, a woman at 25 BMI is down $0.95 in her hourly wages.

Genetics and delusional disorder
ABSTRACT This article gives an overview of genetic research approaches and their application to delusional disorder. Most studies have been based on small samples and have had other methodological limitations, so it is not clear whether there is a genetic contribution to the aetiology of delusional disorder. It is unlikely that delusional disorder is strongly related genetically to affective disorder or schizophrenia, but more subtle relationships cannot be ruled out. The rarity of multiply affected families prohibits linkage studies and, to date, molecular genetic investigations have been mainly limited to small association studies of dopamine receptor polymorphisms. A range of considerably larger, epidemiologically rigorous studies is required, but the uncommonness and other features of the disorder put strong limitations on the prospects for ascertaining adequate samples.

- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Neurocognitive accounts of delusion have traditionally highlighted perceptual misrepresentation, as the primary trigger in addition to other cognitive deficits that maintain the delusion. Here, a general neurocognitive model of delusional disorder (DSM-IV) is proposed, not so much based on perceptual or cognitive deficits after right hemisphere damage as on cognitive propensities, specifically excessive inferencing (especially jumping to conclusions) and excessive reference to the self, due to left hemisphere overactivity. The functional imaging, topographic EEG, and experimental imaging literatures on delusional disorder are reviewed, and 37 previously published cases of postunilateral lesion delusion (DSM-IV type, grandeur, persecution, jealousy, erotomania, or somatic), are reviewed and analysed multivariately. Functional imaging and EEG topography data were slightly more indicative of left hemisphere overactivity in delusional disorder. In addition, 73% of the postunilateral lesion cases (χ(2)=7.8, p=.005) of delusional disorder (DSM-IV type) had a right hemisphere lesion, whereas only 27% had a left hemisphere lesion. Left hemisphere release appears to be a more primary cause of delusional disorder than right hemisphere impairment, the latter merely entailing loss of inhibition of delusional beliefs. We propose that most patients with DSM-IV diagnoses of delusional disorder could be afflicted by excessive left hemisphere activity, but further research is necessary.Cognitive Neuropsychiatry 03/2010; 16(1):1-39.

ABSTRACT: This article tries to give an answer to the question of whether International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) persistent delusional disorder (PDD) or Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) delusional disorder (DD) is simply paranoid schizophrenia (PS). Because ICD-10 PDD and DSM-IV DD are identical, we use DD as a synonym. A prospective and longitudinal study compared all inpatients with DD treated at the Halle-Wittenberg university hospital during a 14-year period with a previously investigated selected cohort of patients with PS. Sociodemographic data, symptomatology, course, and outcome parameters were examined using standardized instruments. The duration of the follow-up period in patients with DD was 10.8 years and for the PS patients 12.9 years. Significant differences between DD and PS were found: DD patients are, in comparison to patients with PS, significantly older at onset. Less of their first-degree relatives have mental disorders. They less frequently come from a broken home situation. First-rank symptoms, relevant negative symptoms, and primary hallucinations did not occur in patients with DD. Patients with DD were less frequently hospitalized, and the duration of their hospitalization was shorter. Their outcome is much better regarding employment, early retirement due to the disorder, and psychopharmacological medication. They more often had stable heterosexual partnerships and were autarkic. They had lower scores in the Disability Assessment Scale and in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale. The diagnosis of DD is very stable over time. The findings of this study support the assumption that DDs are a separate entity and only exceptionally can be a prodrome of schizophrenia.Schizophrenia Bulletin 11/2010; 38(3):561-8.

Now that's some traditional maternity wear! Pregnant Reese Witherspoon is easy and breezy in a billowing white summer dress
Yesterday she was spotted showing off her baby bump in all of its glory in a tight fitting T-shirt.
But today Reese Witherspoon opted for some more traditional maternity wear.
The 36-year-old actress was seen wearing a white billowing dress, featuring frilled sleeves, as she left a nail salon in Brentwood with her daughter Ava Elizabeth.
Easy and breezy: Reese Witherspoon was seen wearing a white maternity dress, featuring frilled sleeves, as she left a nail salon in Brentwood with her daughter Ava Elizabeth today
The floaty attire slightly clung to the Walk The Line star's blossoming figure and was perfect for the currently warm LA conditions.
Reese paired the summery look with a straw fedora hat and a pair of comfortable flip-flips, which also allowed for her pedicure to dry.
Meanwhile, daughter Ava was sporting a knee brace on her leg.
Mother and daughter day out: Reese and daughter Ava relished in spending some quality time together
Room to move: The floaty attire slightly clung to the Walk The Line star's blossoming figure and was perfect for the currently warm LA conditions
But despite a possible injury to her leg, Ava was in good spirits as she spent some mother and daughter time with Reese.
Yesterday, the mother-of-two flew back from the Southern state of Georgia.
She has been flying back and forth filming The Devil's Knot.
Keeping it simple: Reese paired the summery look with a straw fedora hat and a pair of comfortable flip-flips, which also allowed for her pedicure to dry
Letting her hair down: The actress took off the hat and let her blonde locks blow in the wind
Bumping along: Reese clutched her nautical-themed iPhone
Traditional: The movie star ditched clingy maternity wear for a the comfortable billowing dress
The star touched down at LAX wearing cuffed denim trousers, paired with a skintight dark blue tank top showing off her bump, a lumberjack shirt and a pair of comfy moccasins on her feet.
Earlier this month, Reese - who is thought to be about six months along - took a flight out of LAX wearing near-identical trousers, but covered her belly in a loose-fitted shirt.
Yesterday she seemed a lot more confident showing off her changing figure.
Pop: Reese wasn't afraid to put her baby bump front and centre as she arrived into LAX today yesterday
Unlike her romantic pop films Legally Blonde or Sweet Alabama, The Devil's Knot is a gritty script based on the true story of three Arkansas teenagers known as the West Memphis Three who were wrongly convicted of killing some local boys.
Reese plays Pam Hobbs, the mother of one of the three young murder victims who's husband was later a suspect in the killings.
The Water for Elephants actress married talent agent Jim Toth last year, before announcing in March they were expecting a baby.
Glowing: Reese looks to be approaching her third trimester of pregnancy
Leaving and arriving: Reese wore the same comfy trousers on Saturday and again yesterday

I am using phonegap to record a video and I am wanting to save the base64 data-encoded string. So far I have tried this..
function captureSuccess(mediaFiles) { var i, path, len; path = mediaFiles[0]; win(path);}function win(file) { var reader = new FileReader(); reader.onloadend = function (evt) { console.log("read success"); console.log(evt.target.result); }; reader.readAsDataURL(file); };function captureError(error) { navigator.notification.alert('Error code: ' + error.code, null, 'Capture Error');}function captureVideo() { navigator.device.capture.captureVideo(captureSuccess, captureError, {limit: 1});}
I have used readAsDataURL as specified in the documentation. The output of
evt.target.result is
"data:video/mp4;base64," but there isn't any encoded data after the filetype.
Is there anything else I need to add in order to get the full base64 data of the video?
I am really struggling to find anything that can help me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What is the easiest way to shorten a base 64 string. e.g
I just learned how to convert binary to base64. If I'm correct, groups of 24bits are made and groups of 6bits are used to create the 64 charcters
A-Z a-z 0-9 +/
I was wondering is it possible to further shrink a base 64 string and make it smaller; I was hoping to reduce a 100 character base64 string to 20 or less characters.
I need an efficient (read native) way to convert an ArrayBuffer to a base64 string which needs to be used on a multipart post.
We transform HTML to PDF in the backend (PHP) using dompdf. The generated output from dompdf is Base64 encoded with
$output = $dompdf->output();base64_encode($output);
This Base64 encoded content is saved as a file on the server. When we decode this file content like this:
cat /tmp/55acbaa9600f4 | base64 -D > test.pdf
we get a proper PDF file.
But when we transfer the Base64 content to the client as a string value inside a JSON object (the server provides a RESTful API...):
{ "file_data": "...the base64 string..."}
And decode it with atob() and then create a Blob object to download the file later on, the PDF is always "empty"/broken.
$scope.downloadFileData = function(doc) { DocumentService.getFileData(doc).then(function(data) { var decodedFileData = atob(data.file_data); var file = new Blob([decodedFileData], { type: doc.file_type }); saveAs(file, doc.title + '.' + doc.extension); });};
When we log the decoded content, it seems that the content is "broken", because several symbols are not the same as when we decode the content on the server using base64 -D.
When we encode/decode the content of simple text/plain documents, it's working as expected. But all binary (or not ASCII formats) are not working.
We have searched the web for many hours, but didn't find a solution for this that works for us. Does anyone have the same problem and can provide us with a working solution? Thanks in advance!
This is a example for a on the server Base64 encoded content of a PDF document:
If you atob() this, you don't get the same result as on the console with base64 -D. Why?
I get a base64 encoded string which represents a rtf-file.
If I look the original text representation (before base64 encode) I see the character sequence
F¸r. This should stand for
Für, when displayed in a viewer. The header of the rtf-file contains
ansicpg1252 so this should be the encoding except otherwise changed (escape sequences, font definitions, ..).
My problem now is that I can't correctly decode the base 64 string to its original representation. I never get
F¸r anymore. Instead I have
Für or even
F\'fcr. Through this the representation of the umlaut is wrong when displaying the decoded rtf in a viewer.
So what is the original encoding of the rtf-file? Or what is going wrong here?
You can have a look into a sample file here. This is the base 64 encoded string I get.
I don't have the code for the encoding, but I think I can reconstruct that. This is my code for this:
string path = "/some/path/ltxt1 Kopie.rtf";byte[] document = File.ReadAllBytes(path);string base64string = Convert.ToBase64String(document);var isoBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64string);File.WriteAllText ("/some/path/sketch.rtf", System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1").GetString(isoBytes));
I tried to change the encoding, but with
windows-1252 I get an error (sketch: encoding name not supported, real project: array not null).

Police officers who opened fire while disrupting a robbery at a fast-food restaurant in Omaha killed a crew member with the TV show "Cops" as well as the suspect, who was armed with a pellet gun that they thought was a real handgun, authorities said Wednesday.
The suspect fired from the pellet gun before officers returned fire, Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said at a news conference. He said witnesses and officers thought the robbery suspect's Airsoft handgun looked and sounded real, but discovered later that it fires only plastic pellets. The suspect was struck by the officers' gunfire, but fled outside of the restaurant before collapsing.
Officers continued firing on the suspect as he exited the restaurant, and that was when the "Cops" crew member, 38-year-old Bryce Dion, was also struck, said Schamaderer. Dion was wearing a bullet-proof vest, but a single bullet that hit his arm "slipped into a gap in the vest" and entered his chest, Schmaderer said.
"My concern with my officers is that they are taking this very hard," Schmaderer said. "Bryce was their friend."
Schmaderer said video captured by another crew member of the "Cops" TV show shows the chaotic situation in the restaurant. Police released still shots from the video showing a hooded and masked person pointing what looks like a gun at police. Schmaderer said police would not release the full video, but that it will be part of the grand jury investigation into the shooting.
The suspect was identified as 32-year-old Cortez Washington, who was on parole from Kansas.
Schmaderer said the incident began when one of the officers, on his way to another reported robbery, called to report a robbery at the Wendy's and requested backup.
When police entered the restaurant and confronted the suspect, Dion, who was the sound operator, got separated from the cameraman, Schmaderer said.
Dion worked for Langley Productions, which is based in Santa Monica, California.
Key executives of the company, President John Langely and Executive Producer Morgan Langley, attended the police news conference in Omaha on Wednesday.
"Bryce has been with us for seven years," said Morgan Langley, who hired Dion. "This is very hard for us."
"Cops" is a reality TV show that depicts law enforcement officers in action. According to its website, the show has been filmed in at least 140 U.S. cities and three foreign counties.
John Langley said the crew had been filming all summer in Omaha and had only one week left in the city when the deadly shooting happened.

View a list of Breeders' Cup Sprint pre-entries . . . Gather the world's best sprinters and what do you expect? Well, fast fractions naturally. As it so happens, the 1999 Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I) didn't feature the fastest opening quarter-mile split in the 16-year history of the race. Nor the quickest half-mile or five-eighths. But it did produce the sharpest final time -- Artax equaled Mr. Prospector's 26-year-old Gulfstream Park track record when he crossed the finish line in 1:07.89 (Mr. Prospector ran when races were timed in fifths; his time 1:07 4/5). Because every member of the field is capable of running so quickly, it makes the Breeders' Cup Sprint a difficult race to handicap. In the 16 previous runnings of the six-furlong race, only three favorites have won -- Eillo in the inaugural running (1984, $1.30-1); Cherokee Run (1994, $2.80-1); and Lit de Justice (1996, 4-1).Artax was nearly the favorite last year, he and Forestry, who finished fourth, both going off at $3.70-1. Artax finished a half-length ahead of Kona Gold, who should be the favorite for this year's race. Bruce Headley, trainer andb co-owner of Kona Gold, has been pointing the 6-year-old gelding toward this year's Sprint since he crossed the finish line last year. The very meticulously mapped out plan has seen Kona Gold make five starts in 2000, with only one nose defeat (to stablemate Son of a Pistol) keeping him from an unbeaten campaign. Most recently, Kona Gold tuned up for the Sprint in the Oct. 14 Ancient Title Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. II) at Santa Anita. Under Alex Solis, he won by three lengths in 1:08.11, making him the horse to beat at Churchill Downs.By the way, Kona Gold was also in the 1998 Sprint at Churchill Downs, finishing third behind Reraise and Grand Slam.One of the most intriguing of the 19 Sprint candidates is More Than Ready, who has not run six furlongs in well over a year. But, remember this is the horse who was the only speed factor in this year's Kentucky Derby (gr. I) to still be around at the finish. Beaten just three lengths in the Dwyer (gr. II, 1 1/16 miles) and 2 3/4 lengths in the Haskell (gr. I, 1 1/8 miles), trainer Todd Pletcher decided to shorten More Than Ready up. The son of Southern Halo responded with a win in the seven-furlong King's Bishop (gr. I). In his last start, the Sept. 23 Vosburgh (gr. I) also at seven furlongs, More Than Ready was beaten a half-length by his stablemate, fellow Sprint entrant Trippi. More Than Ready has learned to come from off the pace, which could work in his favor. Working against him, however, is the history of the race, which has seen only three 3-year-old winners.Trippi switched to sprinting immediately after his 11th place finish in the Derby and has won three of four. With his front-running style, he possesses an opposite running style to his entrymate. Pletcher is not the only trainer with two Sprint hopefuls. Ben Perkins Jr. has an interesting pair in Delaware Township and Max's Pal. Delaware Township was running in optional $50,000 claiming races in June, but after a fourth-place finish in the Vosburgh, came back to win the Forest Hills Handicap (gr. II) in 1:08.56. Max's Pal, the MATCH series sprint division winner, has won eight of 10 starts this year. Another pace factor figures to be Caller One, who has reeled off three consecutive wins over three different surfaces and looks on top of his game. Also of interest is Five Star Day, who was pre-entered but did not make the field a year ago. Instead, he ran in the Thirty Slews Stakes the day before and won easily. Five Star Day has made only two starts this year -- he injured a leg in January -- but looked good winning the Phoenix Breeders' Cup Stakes (gr. III) at Keeneland on Oct. 14. Three fillies have won the Sprint in the past, and this year, two have pre-entered: Kinsman Stable's Dream Supreme and Juddmonte Farms' Honest Lady.View a list of Breeders' Cup Sprint pre-entries . . .

A great gift idea for any occasion!
by Susan Stanton, Staff HerbalistJuly 2015Too hot to sleep on this muggy July night, Ihave lingered in the garden, entertained by fireflies and heat lightning. Dragging my feet toward the house, accidentally brush against a bushy knee-high plant. Pow! All at once the unmistakable lemony aroma reaches me and restores my enthusiasm.Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is sometimes called "the gladdening herb," a name that barely begins to describe its usefulness for, among other things, improving one's mood. In the dead of winter combine the tincture or glycerite of lemon balm with St. John's wort tincture for adults with mild to moderate depression related to Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.). Research and clinical practice have confirmed that Melissais helpful for acute anxiety, encouraging sleep, and quelling agitation in Alzheimer's patients.
by Chris EllisJuly 2015Many frozen treats can be made easily and inexpensively at home with a little bit of time. A couple refreshing and tasty recipes follow that are made from the bounty of fresh fruit available locally in the summer months. Popsicle MakingA wise purchase for summer use are Popsicle holders, which can be found at many kitchen or hardware stores. Popsicle making is quite easy. Purée or blend your favorite fruit or fruit blend with a small amount of sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or sugar, and pour the mixture into the Popsicle holder. Place the stick into it and freeze until solid or until just slightly frozen. An alternative to Popsicle holders are small paper cups with a stick for each cup. This is a favorite summer snack for kids and adults and can be made with fresh juices too. Using juices or puréed or blended fruits helps to provide some hydration too, which is essential in the summer.
by Chris Ellis, Staff Nutritionist July 2015
Hot sun, thick humidity you can cut with a knife, warm nights and lazy afternoons—not to mention sweet and juicy melons and berries. The dog days of summer are with us for only a couple months. I savor the hot days—they go by fast but at the same time they drain a lot of my energy so there is nothing better than a cold refreshing drink or frozen dessert for a quick pick up. As a child growing up in Putney, my favorite treat was the delivery at our back door of milk and milk products by Maple Farms Dairy. A couple times a week, I looked forward to seeing the big Maple Farms milk truck head up our driveway. Unfortunately those days are long gone! My mother did not give us many sweet treats but she did let us indulge in ice cream bars or ice cream off the truck during the summer. Wow, they tasted great on a hot summer day!!

Navy Announces $30 Million for Energy Innovation
As the Department of the Navy continues to emphasize the need for energy security, the Office of Naval Research is pumping $30 million into Energy Excelerator, a Hawaii-based program that funds development of new ideas in energy innovation.
The program, part of ONR's Asia-Pacific Technology and Education Program, is an effort to discover groundbreaking energy technologies and supports startup companies in bringing those technologies to the market.
The ONR's investment is also aiming to draw in other partners to help energy innovation flourish. The current 17 Energy Excelerator portfolio companies have raised more than $38 million in follow-on funding over the past three years, the ONR says.
With abundant wind, solar, bio-energy, wave and geothermal resources, Hawaii is uniquely positioned for such research, according to the ONR. Its population is also keenly aware of the need for alternatives to fossil fuels because the state is dependent on imported oil for its power and energy use, and residents face the highest electricity costs in the nation, says the ONR.
The Navy Department's energy goals policy statement reads in part: "The United States Navy and Marine Corps rely far too much on petroleum, a dependency that degrades the strategic position of our country and the tactical performance of our forces. The global supply of oil is finite, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find and exploit, and over time cost continues to rise."
ONR's efforts are intended to help achieve theses goals not only through science and technology breakthroughs, but also by encouraging technology commercialization and industry partnerships, as well as early education in science, technology, engineering and math.
The US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the Navy began looking for solutions to meet the Navy's energy goals.
Specifically, the two agencies are looking for solutions aimed at meeting the Nay's goals of evaluating energy efficiency and use when awarding Navy contracts for systems and buildings; increasing alternative energy use on shore by producing at least 50 percent of shore-based energy from alternative sources; ensuring that 50 percent of Navy and Marine Corps installations become net-zero energy.

Variations Galore
As I was putting the Bryant and Soler rookie variations into my binder, I realized that I have a crazy number of variations from this year's base set.
There are 17 Cubs players with cards in Series 1 and 2. Between the sparkles and rookies, seven of the 17 have a second card. Yikes.
Take a look...take a look!

Hyped Rookies... Good For the Team, Tough on the Wallet
The prospects we've been hearing about for the past couple years have arrived. The team is doing much better.
And Topps is making me pay.
This year's retail version of the factory complete set includes five bonus cards. They are variations of five rookies regular card.
Remember the past few years when I complained about the number of Cubs being short in various sets.
Not any more.
Of the five bonus rookies, two of the five are Cubs.
Jorge Soler is the first. His card set me back a couple bucks. No big deal.
Player #2 is a big deal.
Kris Bryant's card set me back more than a couple bucks. Waay more than a couple bucks.
So my choices are lousy teams and cheap cards or good teams with more expensive cards.
I'll pay the extra!

Giveaway Billy Statue
The weekend was a bust for the Cubs....no hit by Hamels, swept by the Phillies. But it wasn't a total bust. On Friday the Cubs gave away 10,000 miniature versions of the Billy Williams statue.
I didn't go to the game but I was able to pick up a statue. The Ebay seller was extremely efficient and I got mine yesterday...Game Friday, shipped Saturday, arrived Monday.
The statue comes in a nice box, protected in a layer of styrofoam,
And here's the statue. Its made of some metallic type material and colored to look like the original.
A pretty decent representation during a pretty lousy weekend.

Five Random Cubs Cards
I've got 13,741 Cubs cards from 105 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
Before I begin, two things. First, this post was scheduled for yesterday but got bumped by the end of The Streak. Second, the number of Cubs cards is the same as it was with last week's Five Random Cubs Cards post. I went an entire week without getting any new Cubs cards. That is very unusual. It will also end because lots of Ginter is coming this week!
Now on to the cards!
1900s - 1970s: 1976 SSPC #322 Ron Dunn
You've got to be a hardcore fan to recognize the name of Ron Dunn. After hitting a very promising .294 in 23 games in 1974, Dunn dashed that promise in 1975. He hit just .159 in 32 games. Somehow SSPC felt that was good enough to include him in their 1976 set. He spent the entire 1976 season in AAA and after that his career was......done.
1980s: 1989 Fleer #426 Mark Grace
Fleer gives us a nice shot of the young Mark Grace in front of the Cubs dugout.
1990s: 1993 Topps Rockies #688 Dwight Smith
This card comes from a parallel set Topps issued in 1993 for the first year Rockies (the Marlins got one too). The cards are identical to the base set except for the gold logo in the bottom right corner,
2000s: 2002 Topps #28 Eric Young
EY was a very happy dude!
2010s: 2011 Topps Topps 60 #92 Alfonso Soriano
This comes from an insert set in Topps' 60th anniversary release. Between Series 1, 2, and the Update set, Topps 60 featured the top 60 players. Well, no. Actually there were 150 cards in the set. That's why it was called Topps 60.

The Streak Is Over
From September 9, 1965
until July 25, 2015
7,920 consecutive games of at least one Cub hit.
It is a major league record.
It's over.
I'm bummed.
I'll gladly trade the stupid record for a Worlds Series title.
That is all.

1970 Cubs Phillies Connections
As I was reading my new 1970 Phillies scorecard, it surprised me how many of the players on the Phillies had or would have Cubs connections.
There are 25 Phillies players that have bios in the scorecard. Six of them ended up with the Cubs one time or another.
Bowa looks so young in that Phillies picture and so battle worn in the Cubs card.
Browne got a Topps Rookie trophy on his '67 card but could never duplicate the success he had in 1966.
Fryman spent just half a season with the '78 Cubs but would spend five more decent years working in relief for the Expos.
Oscar Gamble was young and fro-less in 1970. The Cubs card is a homemade job since he never had a Topps card that showed him with the Cubs.
Look at how the Phillies bio mentions Selma's role as the cheerleader for the Bleacher Bums! He too never had a Cubs card, so again, I made one.
Weird--the Phillies guide lists his first name as Antonia but his signature on the Cubs card is Antonio.

The 1970 Phillies Souvenir Program - Ernie Style!
Back in March I bought a
Phillies scorecard from 1970
because Billy Williams was on the cover.
Turns out there is a Mr. Cub version too!
The cover is identical to the Billy version except for the picture, obviously.
Turns out this one was scored, too (though rather crudely).
The game was on
August 7, 1970
. The Phillies beat the Cubs 4-1 as Fergie Jenkins gave up three runs in the eight inning and took the loss. Today if a pitcher even made it to the eight inning, as soon as a runner reached base he'd be yanked. But in 1970, it was Fergies game to win or lose.
As I was reading the box score, I noticed something unusual about the Cubs lineup that night. Take a look:
Someone is missing.
Actually, two someones are missing. Ernie was old and often injured. His absence isn't unusual.
But Billy. Where is he?
Remember, in 1970 Billy had a National League record of consecutive games played still going.
I read the
Tribune article on the game
and got an explanation. Turns out Billy desperately wanted the streak to end. He wanted a day off. He wanted to stay fresh for the team as they tried to win the division.
So Leo gave him the night off. Jim Hickman started in left field.
But Billy didn't get the night off completely. In the ninth inning, as the Cubs now trailed by three, they started a rally. Billy was brought in as a pinch hitter for Jack Hiatt, though my scorekeeper didn't make note of that on the card.
With the bases loaded, he struck out looking. However his plate appearance kept the streak going; this was game #1,093.
He kept the streak going another 24 games before finally taking the day off on
September 3
. His streak ended at 1,117 games.

Eritrean migrants living in Tel Aviv 370.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem)
Interior Minister Eli Yishai on Thursday called the situation in Eritrea better than in Sderot.Yishai's
comments came hours after the interior ministry announced that migrants
from the Ivory Coast have two weeks to leave voluntarily before being
deported by force."Infiltrators, starting now, will be thrown
directly into jail," Yishai said. "I insist that the Eritrean and
Sudanese migrants will all eventually be thrown out of the country...
the situation in Eritrea is better than in Sderot and southern Israel."Yishai
added that Israeli officials are in contact with counterparts in Sudan
and Eritrea to organize the deportation of migrants.In a message to migrants from the Ivory Coast earlier in the day, Yishai said: "You have two weeks to leave. Whoever does so will be eligible for a subsidy. Whoever does not will be thrown out."Of the 65,000 African migrants believed to be in the country, the
numbers from the Ivory Coast range from a few hundred to some 2,000.Yishai instructed the Population, Immigration and Borders Authority (PIBA) to begin preparations to deport the Ivorian population. According to an Interior Ministry statement, any migrant who leaves of his or her own free will will receive $500 per adult and $100 per child. Those who do not do so will be incarcerated and deported.During the deportation of South Sudanese earlier this month, the Interior Ministry offered the migrants 1,000 euros as compensation for leaving voluntarily. The ministry spokesman clarified that the discrepancy between the two offers was unimportant and that they were not obligated to offer any sum at all."This is an important step to returning the migrants to their home countries," Yishai said. "It also will help return a feeling of security to [Israeli] residents."Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met visiting Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara earlier this month, agreeing on a plan to repatriate Ivory Coast nationals who arrived in Israel without permission.While up until the middle of last year it was impossible to deport Ivorians because the country was in the throes of civil violence, that situation has changed since Ouattara came to power in April.Now, according to diplomatic officials, Ouattara's government is interested in its citizens returning from various locations around the world because it will signal that stability has returned to the country.Israel has carried out arrests of Ivorians in the past, but not in the large scale sense that arrests of South Sudanese have been carried out recently.A petition against the deportation of Ivorians was overruled earlier this month.Herb Keinon and Ben Hartman contributed to this report

|I couldn't get past the first three episodes since my hatred for Hazuki ran so deep. I just couldn't stand the guy somehow and I felt so miserable for Atsushi, but then I heard he gets pretty insufferable as well...sooo that doesn't bode well for me ever finishing up the series since people say the first half is the superior one. *sigh* As a woman in her twenties, I would kill for a decent josei, but sadly this one was not for me. (Or for many others, it seems...)

Hazuki and Atsushi's personalities and their emotions are shown a bit more in Season 2. Especially Atsushi's. Hazuki is a rather tame character overall. As he himself says, he has a creepy face and it falsely represents him.

I just finished this series a couple days ago, and I found Carl's assessment to be pretty on-point with my own feelings, and also agree with a lot of what everyone else is saying in this thread.
Natsuyuki Rendezvous looked to be just the kind of show I dig, but ended up really falling flat. The crucial failing of the series, in my viewing experience, is that both Hazuki and Atsushi were not at all likeable people, so I wasn't rooting for them. Their foibles were understandable, and would have worked had they been balanced out by a broader look into their lives. The show can tell us that Hazuki is a gentle soul or whatever, but we know almost nothing about him - about his life before, how he ended up where he is in life, or how he has related to other people in his life. A fuller portrait is required, but this show's suffocating insularity gave us no window there. Hazuki and Rokka never seemed to have any particular chemistry, and his bluntly asking her for sex on their first date together had all the charm of dead animal on the side of the road.
We do see some of Rokka and Atsushi's past together, but it's difficult to reconcile the living Atsushi with his dead self. It often seemed that, lacking many other outlets for dramatic tension, ghost Atsushi was made to seem dangerous. Those scenes near the end where he talked about killing Rokka so they could be together in death and give Hazuki his body back just in time to take the rap for a murder charge was creepy, and torpedoed what remained of his likeability and my sympathies for him as a character. Atsushi in life was a guy it was easy to sympathize with, battling cancer even in childhood and having that pall hanging over him all his life. I liked how that showed up in how he chose to live his life and what he ascribed value to. I can understand how being a ghost for 3 years could have twisted him, but I feel like that really conflicted with the show asking viewers to sympathize with his plight.
Also crappy was how long "Hazuki in Wonderland" dragged on. That segment really did not develop his character much - it was just something to have him do so viewers wouldn't forget he was in the story. I'm not sure if the fact they were able to do so little with him speaks to the limitations of the story, or just how uninteresting he is. In the end, I was kind of hoping Rokka would end up with no one, because I didn't feel like either of those guys were good for her.
So in the end, what we had is a three-person play (though I, too, liked Atsushi's sister most of all; she was so chill) that could have taken place on a few abstract stage sets, but would have benefitted greatly from growing out the world around them, showing the neighborhood in which the flower shop exists, how long-time customers remember the shop, or how Hazuki went from a high school grad to an aimless dude living alone. I wanted to pull out my red pen, write "needs more CONTEXT" and circle it for emphasis before giving the paper back.
I'm glad I finished it, because when I think I'll like a story and then don't, it's very easy for me to pick out what I felt were the shortcomings. Makes me kind of sad, though, because the ingredients for it to be really captivating were there - it just never came together.
