Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am.

Instant Lift Bra: The Invisible Uplift Bra
Instant Lift Bra: The Invisible Uplift Bra
Now you can steer clear of the knife for life, ladies — and still get a fuller, lifted bust! It's all possible with the new Instant Lift Bra. How's it work? Well, one band goes under the breasts, pushing them up, while the straps over the shoulders do the same. It's something you can wear in addition to your regular bra (or without), and the manufacturers claims it's completely comfy. It fits sizes ranging from 32A to 44C, and comes in nude and black.
Even more good news: the unique back design offers proper support, which means it will also improve posture by keeping you from hunching. The Instant Uplift Bra is now available at Tesco online.

I am on my own
Venus Williams continues her impressive performance in Tokyo, defeating the 13th seed, Simona Halep.
"It came down to who was more determined, who would fight harder and believe more. I'm glad that person was me, " says Williams.
Venus Williams defeats Simona Halep 4-6,7-5,6-3 to reach the quarters of the Pan Pacific Open. After being down a set and a break in the second set, Venus found a way to win.
"I don't know how I was able to win that match, she says. "She played unbelievable. I've never seen her hit the ball that hard."
Simona Halep is having an impressive year, winning four WTA titles in the last few months. She also displayed her talent playing Serena Williams in Cincinnati. A match she lost, but fought until the end. So, for Venus, this is a great victory that can motivate her to continue doing better in Tokyo.
Williams explains how she feels:
– Motivation: "The motivation for me now is knowing my luck's got to change."
– Fitness: "My body's got to cooperate at some point. What am I going to do anyway? Watch on TV? That's just lazy"
– Quitting: "And Serena won't let me quit"
– Health: "I, perhaps don't have the health of the other players but physically I'm always trying to get an edge."
– Medicine: "I've tried traditional medicine and non-pharmaceutical things. It's like tennis… you always have to try new things."
At the end of the day, perhaps a more mature and inspired Williams is finding that her love and dedication to the game is helping her beat great players like Victoria Azarenka and Simona Halep. And she ads, "There is no roadmap, I'm on my own here."

Bargain hunters are wise to pay careful attention to insider buying, because although there are many various reasons for an insider to sell a stock, presumably the only reason they would use their hard-earned dollars to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money. Today we look at one noteworthy recent insider buy.
On Wednesday, Director Ira Belsky bought $71,640 worth of AEP Industries (AEPI), buying 2,000 shares at a cost of $35.82 each. AEP Industries is trading up about 1.7% on the day Thursday.

|Home > Tutorials > AdminApp
TODO: Documenting updated version (currently at http://www.i-tao.com/adminapp.html). IN PROGRESS.
This page aims at providing some additional information about the Hibernate AdminApp. The Hibernate AdminApp (hereafter referred to as AA) was created by the Hibernate developers to show a possible implementation strategy for Hibernate with Webwork. Although AA can still be used as a starting point for webapplications, most of its libraries become quite aged (WW 2.0 beta, Hibernate 2, XWork 1.0 beta). Therefore, a shiny new fork (AA2) has been created by Ron Chan.
AA2 relies on WW2.2, Hibernate 3.1, and Spring as its IoC container (rather than XWork's, which has been deprecated in WW 2.2). We'll first discuss the original AA. Later on, we'll show the differences with AA2. Ron, if you're reading this, feel free to point out any mistakes/edit this document.
Like we pointed out before, AA shows a possible implementation strategy to use Hibernate in WebWork in combination with a so-called open-session-in-view pattern (more info, even more). This pattern allows maximum flexibility in our view layer by creating a Hibernate Session object that will live till the end of the request (after the view has been rendered). This allows lazy loading of objects in our view, rather than having to preload all objects and their associations in our business layer, and yet ensures the correct disposing of the Session object.
To accomplish this, AA uses XWork's components and interceptors:
Now, let's properly dissect the AA files:
In this execute() method we'll simply call a abstract go() method (which is then defined in each of the actions). When we need the Hibernate Session, we use the getSession() method, inherited from our AbstractAction. Don't worry about transactions or saving so called dirty objects (our HibernateInterceptor takes care of all that). As you can see, this totally minimizes the LoC (lines of code) needed to retrieve or manipulated our models).
There are 3 more *-validation.xml files in this directory containing the validation logic for the Actions. XWork will validate your request before the action gets executed, so you can decouple your (simple) validation logic from your Action. For example, take a look at the CreateUserAction-validation.xml:
Several validator types are available. Here we rely on XWork to validate our Actions, but it's also possible to validate our object Models (see WW Validation). You will mostly use these to validate submitted forms in your webapp.
When a validator fails, you will automatically be returned to the input page with a clear indication which field failed to validate if:
a) actually provided an input type in your struts.xml file
b) you enabled the validation interceptor in your struts.xml
c) you use the WebWork tag library (warning: this is the old syntax):
New syntax (since 2.2):
In this document, we tried to point out several key features in the Hibernate AdminApp. In part II, we'll have a look at the new AdminApp, which is far more up to date, and uses Spring as its IoC container. No more implements ActionSupport or Aware interfaces, resulting in even cleaner code.
AdminApp is a very good example of how a webapp can be structered, using as many advantages from the various frameworks as possible.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- JPMorgan Chase & Co. has reached a record $13 billion settlement with federal and state authorities, resolving claims over the bank's sales of mortgage-backed securities that collapsed during the U.S. housing crisis.
It is the largest settlement ever between the Department of Justice and a corporation and marks a key chapter for the crisis.
The settlement announced Tuesday requires JPMorgan to pay $9 billion and provide $4 billion in consumer relief, including principal reductions and other mortgage modifications for homeowners facing foreclosure.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who sued JPMorgan in 2012, says the state will get $613 million in cash and about $400 million in relief for struggling homeowners.
The deal resolves claims against JPMorgan, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual before 2009.

Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Brandon Anderson
(University of Texas at Dallas)
David Collins
(Bucknell University)
We compare the failure probabilities of ensemble implementations of quantum algorithms which use pseudo-pure initial states, quantified by their polarization, to those of competing classical probabilistic algorithms. Specifically we consider a class algorithms which require only one bit to output the solution to problems. For large ensemble sizes, we present a general scheme to determine a critical polarization beneath which the quantum algorithm fails with greater probability than its classical competitor. We apply this to the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm to determine the critical polarization.

London Contains The Most Uninsured Drivers
In light of a report released recently by the Motor Insurers' Bureau it appears that the area of the UK with the highest percent of uninsured drivers is London. Not surprising though really, seen as London has the biggest population.
These figures come along with the news of a successful attempt (got to take the good with the bad it seems) to reduce the number of motorists without car insurance with new initiatives and an increase in police operations, which has seen the overall number drop 20 per cent. The Bureau has estimated that at present around 11 per cent of motorists within London are driving without adequate (or in some cases no) cover.
When the statistics are broken down by postcode rather than city however, the worst areas for uninsured motorists are actually found much further north.
The worst five areas (by postcode) are:
1.BD3 - Barkerend, Bradford
2.M12 - West Gorton, Manchester
3.B10 - Small Heath, Birmingham
4.B21 - Handsworth, Birmingham
5.B8 - Saltley, Birmingham
Another set of figures has come out and it is reckoned that motorists without any car insurance cause the deaths of 160 people and injure 23,000 every year, which amounts to a £500m annual bill for the industry - something which the honest motorists pay for with premiums reaching an average of £30/month at present.

Molly became friends with Lily in prison. When they were released, it turned out that Holden knew Molly and was the father of her daughter. She had been forced to give the child away by her family but now, reunited with Holden, she wanted her back...and him as well. After numerous attempts to steal him from Lily, she ended up friendless and tried to expose everyone with a romance novel. Lucinda put the kibosh on it and decided to use her as a spy on David Stenbeck. Molly fell for him quickly but the relationship was doomed by her deceptions.
She moved on, helping her cousin Carly switch paternity tests to steal Rosanna's trust fund. When that was revealed to the public, thanks to Katie, she became even more of a pariah. After an affair with a man named Reid, who turned out to be David in disguise, she had an affair with a teenager and then started to work as a journalist. It was also at this time that she had the chance to see her daughter, Abigail, again. Their relationship didn't go well since Abigail and the teenager Molly was sleeping with fell in love. To escape dealing with this, Molly faked amnesia after a fall and then set about getting revenge on Katie. She also began seeing Jake, and visions of his dead wife, Vicky. After investigating the meaning of the visions, they discovered that Vicky's children were still alive. After getting them back from Canada, the couple got engaged but thinks went far from smoothly.
Her old lover, Nick, returned to town. Although he rescued Molly's newly adopted children from abduction, he also began a relationship with Molly's daughter, Abigail. This rapidly took a turn for the worse when Nick was murdered. Abigail was prime suspect but Molly launches her own investigation and found the real killer. But things didn't go well after that. Her lover, Jake, died.
She found love soon after with Mike Kasnoff, which didn't last long either. They nearly got married, but that was abruptly put on hold after Carly slept with him. When it looked like Carly might be pregnant with his child, Molly had revenge sex with Dusty. That soon blossomed into a troubled relationship, with him trying to con her, but she moved past that and went into business with him and Craig and Metro. She also got ensnared in Dusty's dirty dealings with Paul and Rose. After finally being too disgusted with him, she tried to hang Rose's death on Dusty. This led to her getting kicked out of the business, though she aided Craig in his involvement with a baby selling scheme.
Things got even more complicated when she was dragged back into Dusty's life and into his fight with a mobster. She was nearly killed in the ensuing violence and Jack was, only apparently, killed. Tired of wreaking havoc in town, she left for California.

In the garden, Rosanna and Holden stop the bride and groom from making out before the ceremony. Rosanna explains the ceremony procedures to everyone while Craig arrives and sits with his sister. Margo hopes he's not there to make trouble but he wants to watch the 'abomination'. Tom shushes them as the wedding march begins. Parker leads his mother down the aisle and asks Jack to take care of her. The clergyman marries the couple, who giggle throughout the ceremony. Craig gags. Molly reads a poem. Carly makes more promises to Jack, vowing never to forget that he is her soulmate and best friend. He says that he can never repay her for saving him from himself and his demons. The rings are exchanged and they kiss. Everyone (except Craig) claps.
Holden asks Lily for her permission to dance with Molly. She doesn't know why he's asking. He goes off to dance with Molly. They talk about what they mean to each other and she encourages him to be with Lily and be happy.
Molly runs into Holden in Old Town. They discuss how odd it is to see each other and talk about the wedding. Lily wanders over and everyone is polite.
Jack takes Carly to the farm house where her maids are waiting with her wedding dress. After he leaves, the ladies show Carly that they each have a flower for her to carry down the aisle. She makes them promise to always stay in her life. Lily arrives with a gift and tells Carly that she's sorry for not listening to her about Craig.

In response to the troubling trend of computer-facilitated sexual exploitation crimes committed against children together with Project Safe Childhood (PSC), the Eastern District of Michigan established a Child Protection Initiative to ensure that we are doing everything we can to protect and take care of our district's children.
Child pornography, human trafficking, interstate transportation of minors for the purpose of engaging in sex and other sorts of predatory activity upon children are all federal offenses targeted by this initiative. The office has successfully charged and convicted a disturbingly high – and increasing number of criminal defendants in the past year who have engaged in acts of criminality that endanger the safety and innocence of our community's most precious asset: our children.
This initiative also includes an Internet and Safety Awareness Program. In 2007 and 2008, our office provided several educational forums to communities within our districts. Our office hosted town hall meetings for parents, teachers, child protection workers, and community leaders on "Child Exploitation, Prevention and Enforcement". These events included a panel of speakers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Attorney's Office, the County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the Criminal Division, Department of Justice. The goal was to increase community awareness and educate the public about the dangers facing children from sexual exploitation and abuse facilitated by technology.
In 2008, the US Attorneys' Offices in the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan along with Several Law enforcement agencies held statewide training for law enforcement investigators, social service agencies and school personnel to educate these entities on this critical threat to youth on the internet.

Clinicians Are Increasingly Left with Few...
Tangential flow filtration (TFF) is an efficient separation technology that is widely used in the downstream purification of solutions containing molecules such as recombinant proteins (including mAbs), vaccines, or cellular debris. TFF has three primary applications in bioprocessing: clarification by microfiltration, concentration by ultrafiltration, and purification by diafiltration.
Important success criteria for all TFF processes are high product yield, high product quality, and high product purity. These success criteria are achieved, not just by the selection of appropriate filtration devices and operating parameters, but also by the implementation of well-designed process hardware.
Although the product processing time of a TFF step in a typical monoclonal antibody manufacturing operation is not excessive, the additional time required for installation, set-up, flushing, and cleaning of the TFF system and devices make it an ideal step to introduce disposable technology as a means of decreasing overall downstream processing time.
The introduction of single-use flowpath assemblies integrated with TFF membranes provides the opportunity to minimize set-up and cleaning time, decrease chances of cross-contamination from run to run, and capitalize on the opportunity for more flexible and rapid facility startup and change over.
The time and cost advantages of single-use systems over stainless-steel systems are well-documented; however, questions remain as to how the single-use system performs compared to historical processes. This study presents data demonstrating that a pre-engineered system for TFF utilizing completely single-use flowpaths can deliver optimal process performance in terms of yield, quality, and product purity through implementation of low working volume, excellent product recovery, effective mixing, and efficient removal of small molecules.
Millipore's Mobius FlexReady Solution for TFF combines a process-ready hardware system with Flexware™ single-use assemblies designed for minimal working volume and high recovery of protein at high concentrations. The system is available with either a 10 L retentate recycle container utilizing Pellicon® cassettes of up to 0.5 m2 filtration area (TF-1), or a 50 L retentate recycle container using Pellicon cassettes of up to 2.5 m2 filtration area (TF-2). Pellicon cassettes were selected for their proven accuracy in scale-up and scale-down processes.
For both TF-1 and TF-2, the piping and instrument diagrams of the Flexware assemblies match the flowpaths of traditional stainless steel systems, with tubing diameters and materials of construction selected to enable the required flowrates and pressures of specific applications (Figure 1). The hardware and flowpaths were designed together to optimize layout and minimize excess tubing and connections. For this study, the TF-2 system was characterized over a range of process conditions.

James Franco is on cover of 'Details'
05:00 AM, Feb 12, 2013
Written By
Actor James Franco, who seems to delight in his own goofy weirdness, doesn't disappoint in his latest magazine cover, on Details, for the March edition.
The magazine heralds the inside piece, by Ivan Solotaroff, as Franco "taking on his toughest role yet: Being James Franco." Because being young (34), handsome and a highly-paid movie star is no picnic, you know.
But he's doing his duty promoting his movie career, with six films coming out in 2013, the magazine reports, including Disney's Oz The Great and Powerful, where he plays the Wizard of Oz. Of course.
"Is there any other actor who manages to be at once culturally ubiquitous and utterly elusive?" the article asks. "Pay no attention to the man behind the celebrity curtain. He's just another character in Franco's repertoire."
Franco answers questions, sort of, about all manner of topics, in language that cannot be fully reproduced here.
On his reaction to smoking pot in a movie strip-club scene: He puked after 20 puffs on a blunt. "I don't even smoke cigarettes for roles anymore."
On his lack of sleep: I "fight sleep every night… I consider it a defeat."
On rumors about being gay: One of his Yale professors was gay, he says, which prompted a realization. "It wasn't about being gay but about being different. And that gave me a feeling of enormous permission."
On his desire to be an artist, teacher, poet, not just an actor: "…I'd become incredibly frustrated staying in the lines of my job description as an actor. I was making it hard, not only on everyone else, but on myself as well."
He even produces some original poetry for the magazine that reflects his tendency to both talk to himself and refer to himself in the third person.
So many masks are worn in Franco's works:
Do you worry that your own good looks
Will ghettoize your films, exhibits, books:
Make you a McClure till proven Ginsberg?
The issue hits newsstands Feb. 19.

Santa Claus supposedly can tell if kids have been naughty or nice, and N.C. Central coach Henry Frazier III, likewise, knows who has been sprinting, and he knows who's lifted weights for the sake of the upcoming football season.
"My whole thing is I look at bodies," Frazier said after NCCU wrapped up its first day of spring football practice on campus at O'Kelly-Riddick Stadium Tuesday. "Your body should change shape if you're working hard.
"You want to look like a football player. You want to start looking like a Division I player."
NCCU is coming off of its first winning season since 2007, finishing 6-2 in 2012, 5-3 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
The Eagles were in the hunt for a conference championship a year ago before losing steam toward the end of the season. When the smoke cleared, Bethune-Cookman went undefeated in the MEAC to win the title and a berth in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
That's where NCCU belongs, Frazier said.
"Our goal is to win the conference championship," Frazier said. "There's no question about it. It's no secret. That's our goal."
The Eagles will spend the next four weeks putting in the work required to get there, Frazier said.
NCCU will wrap up spring ball with a 6 p.m. team scrimmage April 12 at O'Kelly-Riddick. The Eagles' first game of the season is against Duke on Aug. 31 in the Bull City Gridiron Classic at Wallace Wade Stadium.
The only way the Eagles will do better than they did last season is if the team does more, and that starts now with extra running, extra weightlifting, extra everything, Frazier said.
Day 1 went well, and that was largely due to the continuity in the program created by the absence of revolving doors on the coaches' offices, Frazier said.
"Definitely thumbs up," Frazier said. "Familiarity was out there in the air. Consistency with the coaches. Same language. Same schemes."
Guys have the upcoming summer to continue to get even stronger and more agile, Frazier said. Spring ball is the time for the Eagles to reacquaint themselves with good technique, a time to get acclimated with their assignments on the field, Frazier said.
"A guy could be fast, but if he doesn't know where he's going, he's just going to get to the wrong place faster than the next guy," Frazier said. "If you don't know where you're going, it really doesn't help the team."
NCCU senior Charles Goodwin said coaching continuity helps a 6-foot-6 offensive lineman like him know exactly what he's supposed to be doing between the lines.
"Everybody coaches differently," Goodwin said. "It helps guys play faster."
A lot of the teaching the coaches will do during spring ball will be review, but there's no such thing as too many reps, Goodwin explained.
"Repetition makes perfect," Goodwin said. "Everybody knows what to do, but you can always get better.
"It's perfecting our craft."
Goodwin didn't wait until spring ball to start getting his body right. Just look at him, Frazier said.
"He looks good," Frazier said.
Goodwin — Frazier on Tuesday was calling him Big Slim — played at 285 pounds last season, and it's not like he was fat.
"He's a physical specimen already," Frazier said. "He's dropped a couple of pounds. I expect him to be a force in the next year for us."
Today is Frazier's 45th birthday. He's been working on his body, too, but said he may treat himself during lunch.
"I think I'm going to eat a piece of cake," Frazier said. "I've been doing pretty good with the sweets. I might get myself a piece of cheesecake."
NCCU senior linebacker Tazmon Foster had something sweeter in mind.
"Trying to chase that MEAC championship," Foster said.

Vanity & Cynnamon
These two were in So Cal for the week, courtesy of D.
Brian Nelson, running around naked and getting their picture
taken. Thanks Don!
It was a short and sweet shoot as usual but I could have shot
these two all day long. I'd have had an editing nightmare on my
hands though. It was hard enough narrowing them down to just these.
It's nice to have models that are that comfortable in front of
a camera. In fact, I got the distinct feeling that if I'd have
just kept my mouth shut and let the scene unfold without my input
they would have quickly forgotten I was even in the room shooting
photos. I'm sure the ensuing heart attack would have prevented
me from posting these photos though so you all owe me one!
Date: 7-23-07
Shoot Time: 11 minutes

I walked in and grabbed a slice with my son. Even though the sign says $5 for 2 slices and a soda I was still charged $6.25. Not a big deal since the pizza was pretty good. I ordered a delivery today which came to $43.50 and it was beyond bad service. The delivery guy refused to take the elevator to my door and insisted I come down to the lobby to pick it up from him. Then when he kept claiming he spoke no English I called the place back and told them what was going on. They called the delivery guy for me and called me back. Even they told me to go down and get it from the lobby. Needless to say I canceled the order. I will NEVER order from this place.....EVER! No apology given but a lot of lip service. Waste of time! Save your money!

Not a good place to get your breakfast. Their hash potatoes where almost like mashed potatoes. Menu price does not match the price charged. Claim old menu, so why not change the menu and their prices. Duh! Really dumpy place. Not recommend to anyone. Food was not good at all. Not worth it. Really.

text: HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! And that means it's time to discuss our favorite tournament, the 2011 edition of the US Open Cup. I don't mind starting the thread and of course, let's have some fun. Here are the list of clubs from MLS, NASL, & USL that have looked like they will be in this seasons tourney. MLS Columbus Crew FC Dallas Los Angeles Galaxy New York Red Bulls Real Salt Lake Seattle Sounders ????????????? (MLS Qualifiers) ????????????? (MLS Qualifiers) NASL Atlanta Silverbacks Carolina Railhawks FC Tampa Bay Miami FC/Strikers NSC Minnesota Stars USL PRO Charleston Battery Charlotte Eagles Dayton Dutch Lions FC New York Harrisburg City Islanders LA Blues Orlando City S.C. Pittsburgh Riverhounds Richmond Kickers Rochester Rhinos Wilmington Hammerheads Now of course things can change if they don't stick to the same set up like they have done the last couple of years (I admit that I hope they will make it bigger and better), but so far it looks like it will be as is. But other than that talk about those state tourneys from USASA that will attempt US Open Cup Qualification, later on in Late April/Early May for PDL Divisional Qualifying and other fun stuff.

Teen Wolf returns to MTV tonight at 10/9 C for its third season of thrills, chills and men boldly refusing to wear shirts. We salute these fine, brave men who transform themselves from Hollywood actors to brooding characters (often without shirts). However, we have to ask, are we more attracted to the actors on Teen Wolf or the characters that they play on Teen Wolf?
To put it bluntly: Who's hotter? The actor or the character?

Hello Nealey and Jen...thank you for your comments........Jen I think you would write a better story than me.
When I was a pupil our English teacher taught us poetry..we had to write out the poem in a notebook on lined paper and on the facing plain paper draw an illustration.
re. the when is it finished ? when I think I have finished I look at it in the mirror. If I can't see anything which looks awful I leave it alone. Having said that I discovered after uploading a painting (few years ago on another forum) of a deer that it had one very thick hind leg. NO ONE noticed but later on I lifted the colour to show two legs.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Yes Alex, photos through the process are very useful. I use that a lot with my students to show them because they cannot remember or believe why I said, "looks good, now leave it alone" and of course, they don't. Then there's the photo to refer to for the doubters. Love my ipad for that!
Suzanne Gaudette Way aka Suzy Way
New to this site and forgot to change avatar.
Jen, you have such a great imagination and I love your sun bathing gnomes. Great fun pieces.
Nealey, I agree with Geri, WOW. Your portrait is beautiful. You are getting better and better with portraits. A nice soft effect, it was so good you tried this technique.
Sarah, great view from your daughters garden. At first I felt the pot was overwhelming in the sketch but actually the dark area under the bridge draws your eye and then the curve of the bridge brings it back around to the pot again. Lovely sketch.
Sarah, also love the atmosphere you have captured in your painting of the stone moon rabbit. You are always very good with capturing the atmosphere in your paintings. We are to have a very big full moon tomorrow night. It is to be especially close to the earth. I should find something that would look good to have the moon come up behind and take some pictures.
Nealey, lots of comments on when your painting is finished. I always have a hard time finishing things when it looks good. I don't want to do anything more that might ruin it. I have paintings with no backgrounds because I'm afraid of trying something. Alex, your suggestion about taking photos as you progress is good. Often when I take a picture to post, I would see things I could improve on. You would also be able to compare when you thought it looked the best.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Hello Suzy,
I was interested in your (and Alex's) method of recording work in progress. I understand the point although I, as a teacher, wouldn't go along that path. I am curious to know if it applies only to the painting phase of the work?
Hello Bonnie,
thanks for your kind c/c's of my work...much appreciated.
Suzy, welcome to the group. I hope you will join in our challenge and have fun with us.
Jen C & C's always welcome
Well I got back to work on sunny gnome two and am just about finished bar a bit more clean up. His arms are still a bit weird but they had dried a lot despite being well dampened so I hope they will hold together. Gerri I dressed him so no more naked gnomes! He is about six inches long.
You could entitle this A SWIFT Sunset.......typical scene over the village during the summer; changed the ref.sky a bit because we have had storms/thunder and lightning plus three inches of rain today and I seem to have made the sky more turbulent as a consequence.!!!!!
Original is 6" x 3.5" on heavy Bockingford;paper, watercolour/tempera
Hello Jen, sorry didn't mean to ignore your gnomes too preoccupied with all the rain...almost flooded out and I live at the top of a hill!
Anyway, very flexible little chap and will fit in well with all the others.
Sarah, it seems the British weather has got even more erratic lately. Hot Summer weather and then over the top rain. Hope you all keep dry indoors. We have had a quite good Summer with no 100 degree weather and rain on and off throughout. We are all still green and it is August! The only complaint I hear is that the grass needs cutting all the time! As I don't have to cut it I am not complaining. I will take the cooler weather happily. Thanks for the comment on my latest gnome.
Your painting shows a bit of the turbulence in the sky but it is lovely with the Swifts circling in it. Very nice.
Thanks Jen,
we are catching the tail end of Hurricane Bertha...very strong winds now and cold. More rain to come.
Suzy, welcome to our group!! Hope you can post some of your art also.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Bonnie hello! Your comment on my portrait is very kind ~ thank you! I miss your art and maybe you will get to do some this month?
There's many good comments on when art is done. I know that when I upload to my computer, THAT IS WHEN all the mistakes glare at me. I also always use Sarah's technique of looking at it through a mirror. It's amazing how many perspective problems and just downright WRONG SEEING shows up.
Jen ~ Your "sunny gnome" is coming along! I see you bowed to peer pressure & clothed him! <smirk> Your comment on not remembering what you had learned made me laugh! I've had those moments too.
Sarah I like your "Swift Sunset" and the addition of the swifts made it more interesting! The stormy clouds are exceptional.

team details:
Team Name:
from school to real world
Goals for this team may include: losing weight gained from having no time to dedicate to fitness, participating in fitness-related hobbies with time previously spent on school work, cooking, etc.
This team was created for people who are transitioning from a student schedule to a work schedule with extra body baggage and new-found time.
Last posted:
Other Info:
The team member that created this page worked full-time while carrying full-time undergraduate course load, and is finishing up a full-time graduate school regimen with clinical hours, a thesis, studying, etc. Fitness fell by the wayside and I would like to make it a permanent part of my new lifestyle!
Members profiles:
I am 25, 5'9", and am told that I am "big-boned." People tell me I will never be a size 6, or under 165 pounds. I want to prove them wrong! In April of 2011, before earning my Bachelor degree, I weighed in at 196 pounds. Enough was enough! As I finish my graduate studies and find myself with [relatively] more time, I am currently floating in the mid-high 170s with irregular exercise and a [slightly] improved diet. I would like to be in the low 160s. I want to push into the 145 range, but that will take time, consistency, and dedication.

1001 Alaskan Way, Seattle, WA 98104
super yummy!!!
1166 Sage Dr, Cedar City, UT 84720
They were knowledgeable about cross contamination, and told me that I couldn't have the chips or rice because of that. The enchiladas & beans were amazing! I would have given 5 stars if they would have had a separate fryer for chips because they looked & smelled good, but I couldn't have any.
124 Us Highway 14a, Lead, SD 57754
They offer gluten free crust and salad dressings. Very friendly service.
111 E 800 N, Provo, UT 84604
I wish they had half & half for the coffee. They only had non-dairy creamer (yuck). The pizza was great though, and they have gluten free dressings and soups too. I'll go back for sure, just not for coffee.
300 East Grand Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50309
offered gluten free burgers without the bun. be sure to look at the list because some of the burgers have gluten. I got the Dead Moines with smoked gouda, prosciutto, ham, and truffle mayo. it was amazing!!!
263 Red Cliffs Drive, St. George, UT 84790
They provided a menu showing food allergens including wheat. They have gluten free ranch dressing and their cheesecake was gluten free. I had the bacon wrapped shrimp and it was yummy.
1996 Dewar Drive, Rock Springs, WY 82901
They offered to make my food gluten free.

We think of innovation as something for science and technology – or maybe even cutthroat business practices. However, there is no reason that charitable efforts can't also be innovative. In fact, there are some amazing efforts out there looking to improve the lives of children in need. These are some of the biggest and most intriguing options out there for charitable work for children.
First Book
Literacy is a crucial development for every person and building the right foundation for good reading starts exceptionally early. You can probably remember your favorite book as a child and how near and dear it was to your heart. In fact, if you pulled that book out today, you'd probably flip through it fondly with some nostalgia. Sadly, several children don't have good access to books and they don't have the ability to start building a foundation for literacy that will help them be successful. First Book attempts to right this problem. With incredibly low costs, so much of donated money goes directly to book, the confidence of donors is exceptionally high. Every $1 donated leads to $10 of books donated. To date, over 60 million free and low cost books have been distributed by First Book.
Donors Choose
When a governmental budget gets cut, it is up to that government to determine where the money comes from. Sadly, education is often the target of these cuts, reducing the amount of money spent in preparing the next generation. It is hard to donate money directly to education because most donors have no idea exactly where their money will go, so there is absolutely no donor confidence. Yet there are many people who would give money to the cause if they knew where the money would go. This is where Donors Choose comes in. This website allows teachers to post their needs for the classroom, from equipment to field trips to just about anything. They explain their reason directly to donors.

There has been a recent trend where profitable organizations regularly contribute to charity. This becomes part and parcel of their business model and it really appeals to customers. One of the leading innovators in this model is Careaboo.com. Another one of the most important things from our early childhood is our baby blanket. We all loved our blankets, giving them names, perhaps carrying them around a little longer than we should have. For a parent, buying your child an amazing baby blanket that is both comfortable and durable is ideal. Careaboo.com offers some of the best blankets for children anywhere around. However, the appeal of the business does not end there. For every blanket purchased by a consumer, a brand new blanket will be donated to charity. This way, one knows that when you purchase a new baby blanket for your child, another blanket will be given to a child in need, basically enabling two blankets to be purchased for one.

Congressional offices and the Presidential Inaugural Committee, which are both distributing tickets to inaugural events, are trying to clamp down on the black market. So far, their efforts haven't stopped online entrepreneurs.
It's not illegal to scalp tickets being distributed for free by members of Congress for Obama's swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee, which is distributing tickets to inaugural balls and the inaugural parade - which aren't free - doesn't allow its tickets to be resold without the committee's permission.

Homicide detectives investigating the death of a man found with gunshot wound in almond orchard
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Officials from the Kern County Sheriff's Office said homicide detectives are out on a suspicious circumstance call at Enos Lane and Sullivan Road.
Officials said a body was found in an almond field just as employees were starting work in Rosedale.
Marco Viera found the body as he was watering the trees.
"He had gym shoes, shorts and a t-shirt," Viera said, "It looked like he was jogging."
"Deputies and a medical aide responded and found an obviously deceased adult male," said Sgt. Avery Simpson with the Kern County Sheriff's Office, "Detectives were called out and we're in the preliminary stages of the investigation."
Field workers told 23ABC the man did not look familiar and said he did not work with them.
Detectives did not say how the man died, but field workers who found the body noticed it was bruised on the side.
"I didn't get too close to the body, but I did notice he had an injury by his arm because it was bleeding," Viera said.
After several hours, investigators identified the victim as Todd Chance, 45, of Bakersfield, who suffered from a gunshot wound.
Through the investigation detectives discovered the victim's black 2011 Ford Mustang was missing. A short time later the Ford Mustang was found abandoned near the intersection of Tigerflower Drive and Wheatland Avenue in Bakersfield.

Atlanta Braves' Minor League Outfield Coordinator Bobby Mitchell Helps Jose Peraza Transition to Center Field
Atlanta Braves Minor League Outfield/Baserunning Coordinator Bobby Mitchell stopped by Coolray Field during the Gwinnett Braves' most recent homestand to help the organization's top prospect transition from the brown dirt of the infield to the vast stretches of green grass in center field.
Along with his regular duties at second base, the G-Braves have used Jose Peraza as an outfielder during the past two weeks to give him more chances at a promotion should Atlanta have a need in the outfield more than the infield, Mitchell said.
"We're trying to get his offense into the big leagues, too," Mitchell said. "We've done a lot of basic stuff with him because we're just starting out, but he seems to be picking it up really well."
Peraza reached Triple-A for the first time in his career to begin the 2015 season and batted .282 in his first 52 games. He spent his first 39 games with Gwinnett as a second baseman, although he had primarily played shortstop from the time Atlanta signed him as a non-drafted free agent in 2012 until he shifted to second base for a 2014 season he split between Advanced-A Lynchburg and Double-A Mississippi.
G-Braves' manager Brian Snitker inserted Peraza into the lineup as a center fielder for the first time May 27 in the second game of a doubleheader against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs at Coolray Field.
The Braves first had Peraza take some fly balls in the outfield during Spring Training but didn't want put him in the outfield immediately when the season started because he is still not far removed from the switch from shortstop to second base, Mitchell said.
"We don't want to take that away from him, either," Mitchell said of Peraza's spot on the infield, "But especially in the National League, if you can add versatility to your game then you're a valuable player."
Most of the work Mitchell said he did with Peraza focused on his footwork, how to take proper routes on plays and his throwing motion. Peraza uses a low arm slot to make his throws from second base, but he needs to throw more over the top in center field because that position requires much longer throws, Mitchell said.
While Mitchell said he understands it is a challenge for a player to move between the infield and outfield, he thinks Peraza's speed could be a valuable asset in center because it would allow him to cover vast amounts of space and make plays others might not.
Also, Mitchell said he has been impressed by how well Peraza has taken instruction to learn yet another new position.
"He's a smart kid and he works his butt off, so I think that's a big plus for his development," Mitchell said. "He seems to be able to apply what you teach him, and I think that is a huge part in moving forward."
Il Preview: Gwinnett Braves
The IL Preview concludes with the Gwinnett Braves. Last season, Gwinnett had a forgettable season, finishing last in the IL with a 60-84 mark. Injuries at the Major League level and constant turnover at the minor league level crippled the Gwinnett roster.
The Braves will be led by new skipper Brian Snitker. The former Atlanta Braves third base coach has managerial experience at the minor league level, coaching over 2,000 games (1140-1145 record). He will have a good group of players leading the charge in 2014.
Pitching: The Braves pitching staff took a big hit with the losses of Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy during Spring Training. The losses will trickle down to the minor league level, as two potential G-Braves in David Hale and Gus Schlosser will start in Atlanta.
The G-Braves will start the season with Zach Stewart, Mitch Atkins, Daniel Rodriguez, Cody Martin and Yunesky Maya. All five pitchers have pitched at the Triple-A level and come with experience. Atkins has won 33 games between the Pacific Coast League and International League. Last season, he went 5-2 with a 3.47 ERA in 17 games for Double-A Mississippi.
Martin enters the season with the least amount of experience on the staff, but will be leaned on to built upon his successful 2013 campaign. In 13 games (11 starts), he went 3-4 with a 3.49 ERA with 66 strikeouts in 69.2 IP with the G-Braves.
The bullpen will feature a slew of flamethrowers, as Wirfin Obispo, Mark Lamm, Juan Jaime and Luis Vasquez will be eager to close outs games. Obispo returns to Gwinnett after going 2-4 with a 3.53 ERA in 54 relief appearances. He recorded nine saves, striking out 70 batters in 63.2 innings.
Infield: Offensively, the diamond will be loaded with a deep-talented group. Ernesto Mejia, who hit a career-high 28 homers in 2013, returns for his third season with the G-Braves. He has led the IL in RBIs two straight seasons.
Tommy La Stella will join him on the right side. The former Coastal Carolina alum is a lifetime .327 minor league hitter. The second baseman made an impression with Atlanta during Spring Training, batting .255 with four doubles and five RBIs. He will get his first taste of Triple-A baseball in 2014.
The Atlanta Braves No.2 prospect according to Baseball America, Christian Bethancourt will get his first taste of Triple-A as well. He hit .277 (99-for-358) with 21 doubles, 12 homers and 45 RBIs in 90 games for the M-Braves. He set a club record by reaching base in 40-straight games from June 13 to August 14, batting .338 (54-for-160) with 12 doubles, 10 homers and 27 RBI during the streak.
Tyler Greene and Edward Salcedo will fill out the left side. Both players have the ability to drive in runs and steal bases. Salcedo has swiped 80 bags and drove in 211 runners in 471 minor league contests, while Greene has over 150 stolen bases and 373 RBIs in his ten year career.
Outfield: The Gwinnett Braves will be fortunate to feature a major-league like outfield, as Jose Constanza, Todd Cunningham and Joey Terdoslavich will be manning one of the three outfield positions. Terdoslavich returns after a banner season with Gwinnett. He was named an International League midseason and postseason All-Star after hitting .318 (102-for-321) with 24 doubles, 18 home runs and 58 RBI in 85 games. He was named Gwinnett's Most Valuable player by Atlanta and Gwinnett. He was as selected to represent Team USA in the 15th annual SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game, but did not participate due to his MLB call-up on 7/4.
Constanza returns for his fourth season with Gwinnett. The longest tenured G-Brave returns for his fourth season with the ball club. Constanza enters the season as the G-Braves all-time hits (306), triples (11) and stolen bases (58) leader. In three seasons, he has tallied a .301 (306-for-1,118) batting average with 19 doubles and 69 RBIs.
Cunningham, the switch-hitting outfielder led the squad in hitting with a .265 (113-for-427) batting average. He tallied 13 doubles, five triples, two home runs, 38 RBI and 20 stolen bases in 116 games.

IL Preview- Scranton Wilkes/Barre RailRiders
After finishing 2013 with the worst record in the International League, the Gwinnett Braves will return to the diamond with a lot to prove in the 2014. They will be led by first year man Brian Snitker, who returns to bench after serving as the Atlanta Braves third base coach for the last three seasons.
Before we get into the Braves 2014 roster and potential players to look for, we will take a look at the rest of the league with an in-house feature on all the other 13 teams in the IL.
We will start the tour with the North Division and the Scranton Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.
Scranton finished the season fifth in the North Division with a 68-76 record. Right-hander Chris Bootcheck and outfielder Thomas Neal represented the RailRiders in the Triple-A All-Star Game.
This season, the RailRiders bolster an inexperienced Triple-A roster, but heavy with top tier prospects.
Pitchers: Right-hander Jose Ramirez and left-hander Nik Turley will anchor the staff. Last season, Ramirez was regarded as the best pitching prospect in the Yankees system. After missing the start of the season with fatigue, the hurler breezed through the Eastern League, going 1-3 with a 2.76 ERA in nine games. He was promoted to Triple-A Scranton in June and made eight starts for the RailRiders before being shut down with an oblique strain in July. He was roughed up in first stint at the Triple-A level, going 1-3 with a 4.88 ERA. However, he has the stuff to succeed at the Triple-A level, featuring an upper 90's fastball and tough change-up. He will need to develop his slider to be an effective starter.
While, Ramirez works on his third pitch, southpaw Turley is exceeding expectations. The former 50th rounder (1,502 overall pick), third to last pick in the 2008 First Year Player Draft out of Harvard-Westlake High School in California, was placed on the 40-man roster in the offseason after a stellar season with Double-A Trenton. The 6-foot, 5-inch lefty went 11-8 with a 3.88 ERA and lead the Thunder to an Eastern League Championship. He features a low-90's fastball, a filthy curveball and nice change-up, but has never pitched at the Triple-A level.
Infielders: The RailRiders' experience will come from the diamond. The 2011 International League MVP, Russ Canzler will lead a talented group around the horn. Canzler has spent three seasons at the Triple-A level, posting a career .277 batting average with 52 homers and 224 RBI. During his MVP campaign in 2011 with the Durham Bulls, he hit a career-high .314 (149-for-474) with 18 homers and 83 RBI. He will likely be joined Zelous Wheeler, Addison Maruszak and Corban Joseph.
Outfielders: With an offseason overhaul by the New York Yankees, signing of outfielders Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran, the Scranton outfield will be loaded with top-tier talent. Top prospect Slade Heathcott will lead the group. The left-handed hitter batted .267 (104-for-399) with 22 doubles, seven triples, eight homers and 49 RBI in 103 games with the Trenton Thunder in 2013. Regarded as one of the most complete players in all of minor league baseball, Heathcott will have to stay on the field to showcase his talents, having missed parts of four straight seasons with lingering injuries. He is trending upward though as he played a career-high 103 games last year. Fellow outfielder Zoilo Almonte will lighten the load as he will take over one of the corner spots. Almonte returns for his second season with the RailRiders after hitting .297 with six homers and 36 RBI for Scranton. Filling out the outfield will be Ramon Flores or Ronnie Mustilier.
Schedule: The RailRiders and G-Braves will meet on July 21-24 at Coolray Field and July 29- August 1 at PNC Park. Last season, Scranton took 6 of 8 against the Braves.

Spring Training Q&A with Todd Cunningham
Much like David Hale, outfielder Todd Cunningham has seen quite a shift in his expectations this spring. A year ago, he entered Major League camp as the reigning Atlanta Braves Minor League Player of the Year, an award that earned him a spot as a non-roster invitee. He played in 22 Grapefruit League games before ultimately opening the season with Triple-A Gwinnett, where he went on to hit .265 with 60 runs scored an 20 stolen bases. This spring, Cunningham is a member of the 40-man roster with a taste of the Majors under his belt (he hit .250 in eight games for Atlanta last year), vying for a return trip to Turner Field. Gwinnett Braves Media Relations Manager Dave Lezotte caught up with him today at Champion Stadium in Lake Buena Vista, FL.
DL: Last year, you were a non-roster invitee to Braves Spring Training. This year, you're on the 40-man roster. How does this spring compare to last year?
TC: Every year, you're just trying to get ready for Spring Training. Wherever you settle in the lineup or whatever team you end up on, it kind of works itself out. It's all about getting ready for the season and being ready to go for game one.
DL: You're competing for a roster spot with Atlanta, going up against some former Gwinnett teammates like Jose Constanza and Joey Terdoslavich. What's that competition like?
TC: We all get along so well, there's no bad blood among us. It's all about the competition. We go out and we play hard, all of us enjoy the game of baseball. We have that connection, that bond, regardless of what happens. It's all about going out there and playing hard.
DL: Obviously you still root for those guys when they're at the plate.
TC: Yeah, they're your teammates. You've come up with them and played with them, so you want everyone to do well.
DL: Last year with Gwinnett, you hit two home runs all year. In your third game this spring, you homered. What was it like showing some power in a Major League Spring Training game?
TC: It feels good. Hopefully that works itself into my swing; it's something that I've tried to incorporate a little bit. Hopefully that shows up throughout the whole season.
DL: As a G-Brave in 2013, you were the everyday centerfielder. This spring, you've been playing a lot of left field. Are you still working towards being in center, or is it left field now?
TC: The whole goal is to be able to play as many (positions) as possible. You start looking at the levels above you, the big league level and who they have, and there's a lot of contracts out there. For me and my position, trying to find a way to get in there, you have to be able to play more than one. The more positions I can play, the better, but obviously the longer I can stay in the middle of the field, the better, too.
DL: Is there different preparation involved for playing the corner outfield spots as opposed to center?
TC: Balls just don't stay true on the corners, you get all the slices and hooks and top-spin. It's a lot about first-step reads.
DL: Last season with Gwinnett, you hit .265 and stole 20 bases. Is there an area of your game that you're working on improving for this year?
TC: Just being able to drive the ball consistently. I'd kind of go through stretches last year where I'd get behind some balls. To be able to do it throughout the whole year, would obviously improve (my) game.
DL: Last year, you got the opportunity to make your Major League debut with the Braves. It was a limited stint, but certainly an eye-opening experience for you. How important is that experience for you heading into this season?
TC: It's great. It put me in position to come in as a roster invitee. It was just a really cool experience, to kind of get (my) feet wet. Especially when we were on that 14-game winning streak, it was a lot of fun to be in that atmosphere.
DL: Brian Snitker is the manager in Gwinnett this year. You got a chance to work with him at the Major League level last season, what are your thoughts on Snit?
TC: I'm excited to have his experience transferred down to the Triple-A level. He's been around the game for a long time, so I'm sure there are things that everyone can pick up from him.
DL: The Gwinnett roster obviously will take shape once the Atlanta roster works itself out, but there should be a veteran presence on the club this year. I know you guys aren't thinking about Triple-A just yet, but what's your early feeling about the Gwinnett club?
TC: The whole goal, like I said, is to get to the big leagues, but also be ready for game one. I think everyone is going to be on the same page there and be ready in case the opportunity presents itself to be in Atlanta. As far as how the Triple-A team is going to shape up, I think it's going to be a lot of guys all with the same goal in mind, which is really cool when you get that many guys on the same page. It should be an exciting year, wherever I end up.
DL: If you do end up back in Gwinnett at some point this season, how do you handle that?
TC: Just the same as I've always handled it. It's baseball, I'm trying to get better, I have things that I'm working on. Keep the big picture in mind, trying to get back to Atlanta, and just keep working.
Scenes from Spring Training 2014

Brian Snitker Interviewed on 92.9 The Game
In case you missed it, new Gwinnett Braves Manager Brian Snitker was a guest on Mike Sammond's radio show on 92.9 The Game last Saturday. In the roughly 10-minute interview, Snitker talked about his move back to the minors, the challenges of managing and coaching third base simultaneously, his experience as the Major League third base coach for Bobby Cox and Fredi Gonzalez, the development of Braves' top catching prospect Christian Bethancourt, his thoughts on Atlanta's club in 2014 and more.

Photos & Quotes From Snitker's Press Conference
The following quotes were taken from Brian Snitker's introductory press conference on Thursday afternoon.
How did this whole process come about? How did talks with (Atlanta Braves G.M.) Frank (Wren) and (Atlanta Braves Manager) Fredi (Gonzalez) go?
Snitker: "In these situations, you really don't have a lot of say. Frank and Fredi called me into their office and told me this is the direction they wanted to go. From my standpoint it was a good mix for me because at the time I didn't have to stay and could have gone somewhere else and pursued another Major League job with another organization, but after talking with them I told them that I have been here 37-38 years and I'm getting to that age were I'm not looking to start over anywhere. This situation is really good for me. I will be able to stay home. For 16 years in this business I left in February and came home in September, and my wife was left home with the kids. It was a good fit for me, I've known (General Manager of Gwinnett Braves) North (Johnson) for years, we go way back, there's some great people here. The staff here are guys that I have a lot of respect for. I've worked with Mike Graus, our trainer, for over seven years in the minors, all the way from A-ball to AAA, so it's just a good fit for me."
Is the preparation any different from third base coach to manager?
Snitker: "It's a lot different. When I first started as the third base coach, I was coming off of many years of managing, and I was trying to put a hit-and-run on and reminded myself that I couldn't do that and I had to wait for (Former Braves and Hall of Fame Manager) Bobby Cox to do that. I just had to back off the throttle a little bit and realized I couldn't get involved in that part of the game because that's what (Bobby) is getting paid for. I prepared to coach third base for the last seven years, going through the video and looking at opposing teams' players, and running the outfield defense and stuff like that. This is going to be a total team thing, which is going to fine. I will be more prepared in the whole game, more so than I had to in the past."
Is that what you mean by opportunity at the Major League level, now at the Minor League level you get more autonomy now that you get to call your own shots?
Snitker: "You're running the whole thing. You're in charge and you're responsible for a lot more than what I was previously doing."
Will you coach third base?
Snitker: "Yeah, I enjoy that. I kind of like the stress of it. I always did the minor leagues unless I was injured, and as I'm getting older that is a possibility, but I will start off doing it."
You've been in the big league twice on two different stints. Can you talk about how you can help these guys in the big picture?
Snitker: "I think a lot. I think being there with those guys for however many games and getting to experience playoff baseball, because there is nothing like it. It is such a cool experience and feeling. I remember when we won the wild card, Bobby's last year, I told myself 'I hope these guys remember how good this feels and how much fun this is when they get to Spring Training and get to the season and are they are tired, I hope that remember that feeling of playoff baseball. I learned more from the players than the actual game. When you watch those professional guys do it day in and day out, especially the guys that do it really good and watching them. Every day is the same, the work ethic is consistent. You know, guys like Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Mark Teixera and Jason Heyward or Freddie Freeman and Brian McCann, you see how those guys had to prepare and what they put into it. It's amazing. You don't just show up and go out there and are really or make it look easy. It takes a lot mentality and physically to perform at that level and slow the game down so you can perform at that level. I think watching all those guys will do nothing but help me in this job."
Do you have a sense of how (working at the Major League level will help you)?
Snitker: "Yeah, just from the experience. Just from experiences everything I went through the last seven years. I know where these guys are trying to go and do, whether it's the mindset of a reliever or having to play every day and not taking days off or pitches off. At the Major League level if you screw up, you have to watch it for 24 hours on ESPN until they play another game. Like if I got someone thrown out, they highlight you and it's for everyone to see for the next 24 hours. But my experience won't allow for me to take pitches off or take any play for granted. The overall experience the last seven years will make me a better manager.
Are you a different manager than you were seven years ago? How are you different?
Snitker: "My experiences are going to make me be different. I'm not the same guy that I was seven years ago. I went through a lot in those last seven years. It was similar to the first time when I managed for a while in the minors and then I had to coach. I wasn't real happy about it at the time, I didn't like what was happening but it was more of an ego thing than anything else. In retrospect when I started managing again, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. So those layoffs and working for other people have made me different. I got to work with two of the better managers in the game of baseball, Bobby Cox and Fredi Gonzalez, who is not a whole different from Bobby. They are practically the same guy on how they handled situations or players and the adversity that people don't see on an everyday basis. I told these guys upstairs, 'You have no idea what a Major League manager goes through in the course of a day.' When the game starts is when a manager can relax. It's the time leading up to 7:05 PM when those guys make their money, because there is something all the time and watching how they handle that is going to help me handle things better than I did before. I probably won't be as reactive as a I use to be. Again, physically I'm not sure I can do some of the things that I use to do. But in watching them run a team and how they handled themselves and their attitude will only make me better. Bobby was the same guy every day, whether we were up 12 or down 12. I'd sit there and react to the game and he asked, 'What's the matter?' I'd sit there and see a guy hit a 0-2 fastball out and I'd be raising hell, and he looked at me and says, 'What's the matter?' I didn't know how he could just sit there, but he was amazing. All the balls that man would keep in the air was phenomenal. And what a great experience it was for me to be there the last four years.
Anything specific about how they helped you?
Snitker: "How they handled everyday situations, especially Bobby. That last year he had so many people at him, asking for different things, but he kept so many balls in the air and you would never know it. He is amazing, it was such an honor to be there the last four years. We sit in the radar room every night after the game and just talk and that was just priceless. I wish I had a tape recorder. Fredi is the same way. Number one, they are both good men and that's what makes them who they are."
What do you see role with the Atlanta Braves organization? Is it player development?
Snitker: "Absolutely. It's always player development. It's about these players and getting them to the Major Leagues. They are the reason we are here and have jobs. I want it to be a good experience. When we leave here in September, I want them to look back and not care about the win-loss record, but their experience with the 2014 Gwinnett Braves. Hopefully they can have a good feeling about it, I know some won't because they had a bad year, but I don't want it to be because I'm beating them over the head. I want them to enjoy their time here and if they do that they will probably perform well.
Snitker: "It wasn't bad. Like I said I was young and reactive. It's funny they (Gwinnett Braves) asked me what number I liked to wear and I always wanted to wear number 4 because that was Luke Appling's number. And Luke was with me a lot. He played a big part in my baseball career when he was one of my best friends. He was always there and he'd keep a lid on me a little bit. He was there to bounce things off of. That first year was fun, I mean we were playing baseball. Back then you set up the machine to hit extra and you'd always want to be first one to hit."
G-Braves Introduce Manager Brian Snitker
The Gwinnett Braves held a press conference on Thursday afternoon to introduce their new Field Manager Brian Snitker.
In front of local media, VIP guests and front office staff, Snitker officially took over as the new skipper of the Gwinnett Braves. He replaces Randy Ready, who left the organization after one season with the Braves. Snitker will serve as the third manager in Gwinnett Braves' franchise history.
"This is a great opportunity for me," said Snitker. "I live 14 miles from here. I have raised my kids here in Lilburn and Brookwood High School. My mom lives five minutes from here. This couldn't be any better for me."
Snitker, who last served as the third base coach for the Atlanta Braves, has plenty of managerial experience, spending 17 seasons with the Atlanta Braves organization. He posted a career 1140-1145 record while leading ten different affiliates from 1982 through 2006. In 1999 and 2000, he led the Myrtle Beach Pelicans to consecutive Carolina League Championships. After the 2006 season, Snitker joined the Atlanta Braves as their third base coach and served under Hall of Fame Manager Bobby Cox and current Braves Manager Fredi Gonzalez.
"I got to work with two of the better managers in the game of baseball, Bobby Cox and Fredi Gonzalez," said Snitker. "They were practically the same guy on how they handled situations, players and the adversity that people don't see on an everyday basis."
The thirty minute conference was lighthearted and fun, as Snitker was joined by General Manager North Johnson, Media Relations Manager Dave Lezotte and Atlanta Braves prospects Lucas Sims, Kyle Kubitza, J.R. Graham, Gus Schlosser and Aaron Northcraft. Snitker and the prospects fielded questions from the local media as well as Gwinnett Braves season ticket holders. Snitker will head to Spring Training as soon as pitchers and catchers report to Lake Buena Vista, FL at the beginning of February.
All in all, it was a great day to be at Coolray Field. With the beginning of the season approaching, Snitker is up for the job. Gwinnett kicks off the home schedule at Coolray Field on Friday, April 11th at 7:05 p.m. against the Durham Bulls.

Something hanging off my engine
So I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I have a part on my '05 engine labeled 554T-18801-AC PBT-CF30 hanging off. It looks as though a ground wire has come loose from it.
Anyone here familiar with what this does? Also how bad is it to keep driving around with it not grounded?
any chance you could take a pic of whats hanging off? would make it easier to place
Sounds like the ignition capacitor; check fuse 9 and see if it's blown. If it grounds it may trip the fuse. By all means tape the ends up until you replace it.
So I have the pics here. http://imgur.com/a/28Jik
First one is of the fuse box, second is the part that is hanging. You can see the ground in the second one disconnected. I'm not really sure which fuse is fuse 9. Still new to this car stuff here :/
Is that on the rear of the valve cover on the passenger side? if so it should be connected to the black wire on the left of your second picture.
I think I circled what you have in the pic of my 2007. This should give you an idea of how it connects, if not I can get a closer pic.
I think you may be right GreenPanther. The only issue I have now is getting it reattached.
Just whatever you do..... DON'T CUT THE RED WIRE!
