First, the only way his trade value would have "dropped off the cliff after last night's performance" is if his left arm would have fallen off. Teams will evaluate him on three or four performances, if he gets that many in a row while he's up this time.
Second, this silly rumor that the Orioles are dangling Britton for an "experienced" SP is probably something that some writer made up to allow him to meet a content quota. Teams aren't trading quality pitchers at this point in the season. If the FO wants to find a quality veteran SP somewhere I suggest they look no further than Norfolk, Virginia. I seriously doubt that anyone better than Jurrjens or Garcia will be available for at least six more weeks.

State environmental officials say they have finished their upgrade to a database that gives the public access to information on clean-up efforts at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
New Mexico Environment Department Secretary David Martin says the new centralized, cloud-based database application called Intellus New Mexico provides the public with greater transparency and more timely access to the environmental data for tracking efforts to clean up toxic waste around the laboratory where the nuclear bomb was developed.
Officials say validated and verified data will be consistently formatted and automatically updated to the new system every night.
The database can be accessed at intellusnmdata.com.
Also, existing permits that govern the storage and treatment of hazardous and mixed waste at Sandia National Laboratories would be combined under a new permit drafted by state environment officials.
The New Mexico Environment Department will be seeking public comments on the proposal through Nov. 16.
The proposed permit would allow for the management of hazardous and mixed waste at eight container storage units and one area where explosive wastes could be burned.

I'm working on a script that am constantly developing and tweaking about with. It will be running on a remote machine which i often wont have direct access too but will want the script to terminate and restart, mainly when i have changed something and need the changes to take effect.
I've thought of a few different ways to do this and wondered what other suggestions people might have.
My thought was to have a bootstrap script that then runs the second script, the second script from time to time checks for a new version of its self and if one exists it exits, returning back to the parent script which in turn starts the second script again.

The Orioles have tried everything with him: different pitch selection, different delivery, better conditioning, biomechanical analysis, sports psychology... nothing has worked. He's 27 years old there's really no excuse for his inconsistency at this point. The O's should have traded Arrieta when they had the chance because at this point I don't see him as anything more than AAA SP depth.
I would like to see Arrietta get off to a good start so he becomes attractive to another team if we need to add an important long term piece this summer. I still think Britton becomes a solid #3 ML SP, and if Matusz's ceiling is as a lock down late reliever there COULD be worse results for a #4 draft pick.

I never looked at McFarlands back ground. If he was an inning eater in the minors then that would change my opinon. SJohnson seemed to go deep into games in the minors. Doesn't mean he can do it here but leads to a possiblity.

I've never been to City Tables on a quiet weeknight (always during loud weekends!) I had no idea it could actually be a nice, intimate venue! Good review :)

That gnocchi sounds intense and the pumpkin agnolotti looks delightful. I tried City Table over the summer. My meal was just okay. I thought they did a better job with the less fancy bar-type food rather than the upscale dishes.

Sad that I missed this. I like City Table except for the horrible, overwhelming perfume aroma in the lobby. I asked last time, and I guess it is their signature scent, but I thought it was waaaaaay too much. I want to taste my drink, not a mouth full of perfume!

"Both those forums are frequented by some of the best audio engineers around, who have decades of experience in designing and testing audio equipment. There are also posters to both forums who demonstrate how easy it is to mis-use test gear."
with regard to DIY audio and Parts Express forum participants.
Factually, Mr. Atkinson - the bulk of participants on the DIY audio and Parts Express forums are carpenter novice dunces when it comes to electronics, electrical engineering, and acoustics. And factually, the computer programs and simulators they use are so easy to use, and the instructions for their use are so easy to understand, that even they are capable of producing accurate, reliable, useful measurements on a regular basis. I've seen this for myself. Does this make them infallible? Obviously not. No more or less infallible than you as some might take issue with your technical approaches (another matter). I'm reluctant to side with JohnnyR. He has a history of being abrasive and at times short on the facts. But in this instance, he is absolutely correct. Your excuses are just that - hollow excuses.

With Dontrelle Willis' recent addition to the Tides' starting staff, our AAA affiliate has 8 starters. Joel Pinerio should be coming up soon but I'am not mentioning him in this topic. IMO, I think Jamie Moyer will be called up to replace Tommy Hunter very soon. I stared the pitchers who I think should be in their rotation. Here are Norfolk's starting candidates:
Jamie Moyer (Tommy Hunter) *
Miguel Gonzalez
Chris Tillman *
Zach Britton *
Jason Berken
Dontrelle Willis *
Brad Bergesen
Steve Johnson *
Who would you star?

Comments about KEEN Footwear Venice Sandal (Women's):
I have 5 pairs of these sandals, which are the only sandals I can wear comfortably. If you wear orthotics, as I do, give these a try. The molded footbed offers a lot of support and the upper protects your toes when walking or hiking. Keen has great customer support, as well. They will send replacement laces with installation instructions if your laces stretch out.
Comments about KEEN Footwear Venice Sandal (Women's):
Although this shoe was supposed to be the same size as the model that I usually buy, it did not fit my foot.Thankfully I was able to exchange the shoe for a Newport of similar color at the Rock Creek store in Chattanooga. Problem solved.

Comments about KEEN Footwear Venice Sandal (Women's):

Zero Historyby William Gibson
Staff Pick
Zero History reads like a Graham Greene novel penned by The Magnificent Bastard. This is the third entry in Gibson's Blue Ant cycle. His Bigend trope has all the pushes and pops of Zero History's contemporary at the cinema, Inception. Hubertus returns as the puppet master, linchpin, and advertising exec who simultaneously makes Don Draper look like a used car salesman and Saatchi and Saatchi like a mom-and-pop operation. Again Hollis Henry, whom we met in Spook Country, is squarely in his sights. Again she's anxious to get out. And again there's enough branding to make an Italian pro cyclist blush.
The black market produces enough materials to keep all of Dick Cheney's Facebook friends in gold-plated Bugatti Veyrons. However, the knockoffs lack the quality of the "real thing." Will the counterfeit goods ever meet or exceed genuine standards? Could these products become their own brand with their own logo? Would we buy these items for that quality or would we buy inferior products on the basis of brand recognition and reputation? Or better yet, if the military were to require these products, which side of this equation will be chosen for those astonishingly lucrative contracts?
In Zero History, William Gibson continues his deconstruction of postmodern corporate and artistic life, making 2010 an unrecognizable future-present through the use of completely recognizable settings, people, and things. Instead of the "screw you" attitude of his early cyberpunk stories, we now get a "we're all screwed" kind of a world, and the story is fun enough that we can't really disagree.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The new novel from William Gibson, one of the most visionary, original, and quietly influential writers currently working. (Boston Globe)
Hollis Henry worked for the global marketing magnate Hubertus Bigend once before. She never meant to repeat the experience. But she's broke, and Bigend never feels it's beneath him to use whatever power comes his way — in this case, the power of money to bring Hollis onto his team again. Not that she knows what the team is up to, not at first.
Milgrim is even more thoroughly owned by Bigend. He's worth owning for his useful gift of seeming to disappear in almost any setting, and his Russian is perfectly idiomatic — so much so that he spoke Russian with his therapist, in the secret Swiss clinic where Bigend paid for him to be cured of the addiction that would have killed him.
Garreth has a passion for extreme sports. Most recently he jumped off the highest building in the world, opening his chute at the last moment, and he has a new thighbone made of rattan baked into bone, entirely experimental, to show for it. Garreth isn't owned by Bigend at all. Garreth has friends from whom he can call in the kinds of favors that a man like Bigend will find he needs, when things go unexpectedly sideways, in a world a man like Bigend is accustomed to controlling.
As when a Department of Defense contract for combat-wear turns out to be the gateway drug for arms dealers so shadowy that even Bigend, whose subtlety and power in the private sector would be hard to overstate, finds himself outmaneuvered and adrift in a seriously dangerous world.
"Opposing forces contend violently over what are in the end ephemeral trivialities, the minutiae of modern fashion, in Gibson's quirky tale of 21st-century brand positioning. The attention of eccentric financial genius Hubertus Bigend, seen previously in Pattern Recognition and Spook Country, has landed on military fashion, a field he believes is immune to the vagaries of the market. When an unusual pair of mil-chic trousers raises the possibility that the anonymous designer is copying Bigend's new obsession, Bigend dispatches his team of talented amateurs to investigate the source of the suspiciously au courant trousers. Bigend's competition turns out to be none other than Michael Preston Gracie, an ex-military officer whose unwarranted self-confidence is rivaled only by his ruthlessness. Gibson's style has become even more distilled, more austere, since his science fiction days. Inanimate objects and, in particular, the brands of those objects, are more fully illuminated than the characters using those brands. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
"Highly textured, brilliantly evocative prose and stunning insights...into what we perceive as the present moment.... Unsettling and memorable." Kirkus Reviews
"In typical Gibson fashion, the tension builds incrementally through 87 well-plotted chapters of disorienting strangeness....Remarkably, it isn't necessary to know the previous novels to appreciate Zero History. That seems to be the point. 'Zero history' means having no past, no depth." The Oregonian
When she sang for The Curfew, Hollis Henry's face was known worldwide, but in the post-crash economy, she's a journalist in need of a job. The last person she wants to work for is Hubertus Bigend, twisted genius of global marketing, but there's no way to tell an entity like Bigend that you want nothing more to do with him.
The iconic visionary returns with his first new novel since the New York Times bestseller Spook Country.
Whatever you do, because you are an artist, will bring you to the next thing of your own...
When she sang for The Curfew, Hollis Henry's face was known worldwide. She still runs into people who remember the poster. Unfortunately, in the post-crash economy, cult memorabilia doesn't pay the rent, and right now she's a journalist in need of a job. The last person she wants to work for is Hubertus Bigend, twisted genius of global marketing; but there's no way to tell an entity like Bigend that you want nothing more to do with him. That simply brings you more firmly to his attention.
Milgrim is clean, drug-free for the first time in a decade. It took eight months in a clinic in Basel. Fifteen complete changes of his blood. Bigend paid for all that. Milgrim's idiomatic Russian is superb, and he notices things. Meanwhile no one notices Milgrim. That makes him worth every penny, though it cost Bigend more than his cartel-grade custom-armored truck.
The culture of the military has trickled down to the street — Bigend knows that, and he'll find a way to take a cut. What surprises him though is that someone else seems to be on top of that situation in a way that Bigend associates only with himself. Bigend loves staring into the abyss of the global market; he's just not used to it staring back.

Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian Cancer Overview
Patient Comment Read 1 Comment
Cancer occurs when cells undergo a transformation and begin to grow and multiply without normal controls. As the cells grow and multiply, they form masses called tumors. Cancer is dangerous because it overwhelms healthy cells by taking their space and the oxygen and nutrients they need to survive and function.
Ovarian cancer occurs when a tumor forms in one or both of a woman's ovaries. The ovaries are a pair of small organs that produce and release ova, or human eggs. The ovaries also produce important hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. They are located in the lower abdomen (pelvis), on either side of the womb (uterus). Ova released by the ovaries travel through the fallopian tubes to the uterus, where they may or may not be fertilized by the male sperm.
Cancerous tumors are malignant. This means they can spread to other tissues and organs. Not all tumors, however, are malignant. The ovaries can develop benign tumors, as well as malignant tumors or cancers.
In a process called metastasis, malignant tumors may encroach on and invade neighboring organs or lymph nodes, or they may enter the bloodstream and spread to remote organs such as the liver or lungs. The presence of metastases or metastatic tumors is an ominous finding noted in the more advanced stages of cancer of the ovary.
The type of cell that originated the abnormal growth determines the class of the ovarian tumors.
Noncancerous (benign) ovarian masses include abscesses or infections, fibroids, cysts, polycystic ovaries, endometriosis-related masses, ectopic pregnancies, and others.
The incidence of ovarian cancer varies greatly. Globally, Scandinavia, Israel, and North America have the highest rates. Developing countries and Japan have the lowest rates.

I just got back for a two-night trip. Both nights, I had to deal with my NeoAir sliding around on my silnylon tent floor (in a TarpTent Notch, BTW). This, despite the fact I'd painted on strips of silicone+mineral spirits solution. Now I'm thinking of Velcro... attaching it to the floor and to the pad. Does that seem realistic? What do you all think? Nobody with experience on this?
I smeared some silicon:mineral spirits on floor to make it less slippery.Does make it collect dirt a little more, like someone mentioned, but if you do 10:1 mineral spirits:silicone not so bad
It's a tough situation. Personally I've done little dots/dobs of silicone caulk on the bottom of my pad. It works alright but certainly not ideal. Painting the floor with a slurry is a committing move that will add 1-2oz to your tent and in my experience makes it a total dust magnet. It's tough to sweep out a tent after, and a non-freestanding tent can't be shaken out, so you live with more dirt in the tent.In general I don't think silnylon is a great material for a floor (slippery, modest waterproofness) and I would prefer a similar denier of PU coated nylon, which delivers grip and much higher waterproofness at the same weight, with the downside of lower tear strength. Most mainstream tents use PU nylon and IMO it's a better choice. Silnylon is good for the canopy.
A couple of solutions .One is , as already suggested, to also stripe the bottom of your mat . See here :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPYPN3CeQCIthe other is to get a piece of no-slip mat, the type that is used under carpet or for glassware on a shelf.
Sounds like a good idea. I've thought about this in the past, but never got around to trying it. Now I'm using a Hexamid with a mesh floor, so it wouldn't help me.You should do the experiment and let us know how it works. I'm sure many here would like to know.
I use a foot square piece of thin foam (like Gossamer Gear thinlight, but denser foam) as a sit pad and then put this under my mattress at bed time. It reduces the slip to almost nil and provides an extra level of puncture protection and insulation under my hips.
Something to ponder -Your matt is sliding across the floor, I assume in the "downhill" direction...If you essentially "bond" your matt to the floor, the floor will transfer that to the corners and sidewalls, pulling them downhill with you. In a Hexamid you will be loading 1/16" shock cord indirectly connected to a stake. In a shelter with a bathtub floor/wall you are loading the connecting seam.That might not be a good thing.

Ah, yes. Gravity won't be deterred by Velcro-- so its pull would be transferred, wouldn't it? The slope I was sleeping on wasn't steep, by any means. That's why the sliding surprised me.
Often putting your pack (if dry) and maybe clothing under the pad can help.
Franco: the video says "100% silicone"-- pardon me for being naive, but was that a silicone sealant (like Permatex)?
Greg's insight sounds true:"Your matt is sliding across the floor, I assume in the "downhill" direction...If you essentially "bond" your matt to the floor, the floor will transfer that to the corners and sidewalls, pulling them downhill with you. . . . That might not be a good thing."But in practice, if you're sleeping on a slope steep enough for this to be a concern you're not going to get any sleep anyway. Mats will slide around on silnylon without any slope, just from tossing and turning.The Velcro idea merits a try. I'll buy a pint of Michigan craft beer for the first person to post pictures and a report on such an experiment.Of course anyone claiming the beer has to show up in Norton Shores MI to claim it. Offer good for one year. Offer void where prohibited, etc., etc.
100% silicone..I use a locally made brand, Selleys.It,Selleys, has many silicone products but only one (that I know of) that is labelled "100% silicone" I have tried some of the others , they stick at the start but peel off afterwards.I never used Permatex but I think that is is just an already thinned (with some type of mineral spirit) version.The types that don't work (for me) are the ones with additives such as anti-mould .I have also used many tubes of GEII (from Tarptent..) that works the same as the Selleys.BTW, I have no idea of the what and why some silicons don't work, i just know the ones that do.
Edited by Franco on 07/19/2013 21:08:11 MDT.
"kitchen/bath/plumbing" has mildewcide? I would rather not have that. Might be toxic or affect performance?"3 hour shower ready" - I wonder what they do to it to make it cure faster. I would rather just have the regular silicone. But I'm in no hurry for it to cure.
What is your tent.There are several varieties of silnylon out there, some more slippery than others.Another issue is whether the tent pitches with the floor FULLY taut. If not, all the friction in the world inside the tent won't keep the floor from slipping and bunching up on the ground underneath.I've had great luck with silnylon floors, but only taut ones, and only on level or almost level ground.Among so-called self-inflating pads, the Nemo comes with the sil chevrons underneath, slips less than the Thermarest, packs smaller, and has more insulative value - see Roger Caffin's article on this site about pads. Tried a Thermarest this spring, and am going back to the Nemo.
As I said in my first post, I've a TarpTent Notch. I, too, have had luck when the Trent's been setup on level or nearly level ground-- the problem is that you can't count on finding such campsites!For the record, I use a Thermarest NeoAir-- as a side sleeper, I've never found self-inflating pads comfortable.

Motorcycle riders and families met in a large tent that was erected in the old Koret's parking lot for last Sunday's blessing of the bikes.
The tent was put up by local church members not only for the annual event, but for a special community service that will be presented on June 20. Four churches in the area, the Freedom Christian Fellowship, the Price Community Methodist Church, the Price Christian Chapel and Mission Alliance and New Life Ministries all will close the doors to their regular buildings that day and meet at the site. The tent traveling ministry is headed up by Alan Walz.
"All four ministers of the churches will share the preaching on that day," says Andrew Lasslo of New Life Ministries. "We are all working to do some things together."
