"The Emissary" - the TNG ep, not the DS9 pilot. Despite the incredible hotness of Suzi Plakson as K'hlar, if I wasn't working out at the time, I'd have nodded off. It came off as boring soap opera that didn't make a ton of sense.
I always find great warrior cultures or cultures that knows how to fight when they have to fascinated. To fight well you don't just learn how to weal a sword and some weapons, but you also have to be able to understand how human thinks and react in time where you life might be jeopardized. If You teach someone how to fight but didn't train them how to handle the stress when the enemies are coming at them trying to hack or cut off your head, most people would freeze up and piss and crap in their paints or run and piss and crap in their paints at the same time at the first sign of troubles.
A lot of the fighting forces that ancient Thai people selected were comprises of people who don't feel frighten at the sign of danger and get sick at the first sight of dead or dying people where there are a lot of blood and guts and the smell of rotten corpses. They can think clearly in very stressful situation when they were under attacked. Usually, these people would take up job as the high ranking commanders who would always get into hand to hand combats with the enemies and give orders to the troops during combats, or some of the smarter ones would offer their services as espionage and assassins to the aristocrats and the royal family. A lot of these people are marked by high intelligence. They are not dumb like most people think. And they were often in charge of training the Thai armies and peasants who were drafted to fight. They would often manipulate people mentally and psychologically and train them how to be strong and how to handle stressful situation...kindda like how the U.S. marines train their men today to prepare them psychologically. Often time they would gave reasons why they need to kill the enemies and portray them as killers and that they would be fighting for a great cause. These people are the kind of people the Roman also chose as centuarians to lead their troops and these people made up a pretty decent part of their armies. The Burmese couldn't figure out how Thai people were able to fight so well and in a lot of cases they were pretty scared. A lot of their commanders were executed because they fail to destroy a much smaller Thai forces and some of their commanders litterally were scared shitless. It pissed the Burmese off that they were a warrior race and they couldn't defeat a bunch of peaceful people. Some of these people and volunteers also led a lot of suicide missions to slow the advancing Burmese forces and to psychologically intimate them. Most of the time it worked. The Roman armies also had the same reputation for being stubborn and pig headed and none of their enemies know what they were up against.

This is a good primer that's essentially a lightweight gel-textured fluid that has some beneficial ingredients. It smoothes on easily and makes skin feel silky, while leaving a slightly tacky finish that dissipates once makeup is applied. The formula goes above and beyond that of most primers by offering skin a plentiful range of antioxidants, water-binding agents, and cell-communicating ingredients, and it's also fragrance-free. This product is suitable for all skin types, but best for oily skin. Previously known as "Complexion Primer Potion-Brightening".
Water, Litchi Chinensis Pericarp Extract, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Glycerin, Polyacrylamide, Algae Extract, Thermus Thermophillus Ferment, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Butylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Pullulan, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Laureth-7, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Hexylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol
Urban Decay At-A-Glance
Strengths: Workable options in almost every category; excellent cheek tint; bonanza for anyone who wants lots of shiny eyeshadows; good mattifier; bronzing powder; brow products; makeup brushes.
Weaknesses: Mostly average to poor mascaras; limited foundation shades and some disappointing lip glosses; the products designed to help makeup last longer don't help.
From its unconventional beginnings in 1996 with the debut tagline of "Does Pink Make You Puke?" Urban Decay has been at the forefront of the ongoing trend toward unconventional colors. Their approach to beauty is still rooted in steering clear of the norm, but for those creative, unconventional folks who want the opportunity to express themselves with well-formulated, edgy products, this is the line to look to.
Now representing itself by the decidedly tamer "Beauty with an Edge" slogan, the line still offers several shiny options (which excel by virtue of how well they cling to skin), but the items that really deserve your attention include some of their mascaras, bronzing powder, blush, and brow products. The brush collection is highly recommended and priced on the low end when compared to other department-store lines, and Urban Decay counters (as opposed to Sephora stores, where the line is typically sold) offer helpful literature about how to design a complete makeup look. The colors may be unconventional and more clownish than classy, but their placement advice is right-on.
Shortcomings of this edgy line include the lack of lipsticks and some glittery products that apply terribly. Those who appreciate products that make a statement (though it may not always be one that puts you in your most flattering light) should explore the best of what is offered here, as should those whose makeup concepts occasionally lean toward the adventurous side.

The new Beautypedia Team proudly and unequivocally maintains the commitment to help you find the best products possible for your skin. We do this by relentlessly pursuing and relying on published scientific research so you will have unbiased information on what works and what doesn't-and the sneaky ways you could be making your skin worse, not better!
The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same research, criteria, and objectivity, whether the product being reviewed is from Paula's Choice or another brand.
Upon application, my skin was very smooth, although you have to apply it very quickly, as it dries super-fast. However, I found that my foundation sort of sat on top of my skin and looked really greasy after just a few minutes when I used this primer...when I went back to just applying my foundation directly on my skin, my face looked so much better and my foundation sank into my skin and looked natural. When I used this primer, I couldn't wait to wash my face because it looked so oily.
I use a different foundation depending on whether it's day, night and how much coverage I need. Regardless of which foundation I use, when I use this primer, the results are better - pores are gone, skin looks smooth and makeup does not look heavy. While primers are an unnecessary step in the process if you use a good serum, sometimes I just like to change things up a little and I will work this into my routine, especially for an evening out.

George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and FilmBy RICHARD B. WOODWARD Wall Street Journal
Visitors to the George Eastman House in Rochester, N.Y., over the past decade could not help noticing that the museum-in-a-mansion, the world's largest repository for all matters photographic, was struggling to keep up appearances. Everything about the former home of the man who introduced photography for the masses—from the mismatched furniture in the offices, to the sun-bleached curtains in the living room, to the grimly lighted café for visitors—seemed to convey an air of making do with less.
Upkeep and improvements won't be any easier now that the house's longtime benefactor, Eastman Kodak, has sought bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. That everyone associated with the museum in recent years had seen this day coming, as digital technology conquered the photography and film market, has not softened the shock. For the first time since being chartered in 1947, the George Eastman House will have to get along without financial support from the company that has been its foundation.

Facing criminal charges in Columbus?

Petty Theft/Shoplifting
What may seem like a trivial criminal act, a shoplifting or petty theft charge has the potential to come with major negative consequences. Since shoplifting is considered a crime of dishonesty, if convicted you will have this on your permanent arrest record, which will be seen by employers or anyone who decides to run a background check.

Petty Theft under Ohio Law
According to O.C.R. §2913.02, you may be charged with theft if you take control of someone else's property or services with the purpose of depriving them:
Petty theft or shoplifting is considered a misdemeanor of the first degree. In Ohio, a charge such as this will come with a presumptive sentence of not more than six months in prison and / or a fine of up to $1,000 (O.C.R. §2929.22).
The charges will increase in severity depending on the amount stolen. Shoplifting becomes a felony if the value of the property or services stolen is between $1000 and $7500.

Casting affects performance?
One of the only websites that I can access from the client site that I'm on is the IBM site, and I must admit that it's not on my list of Java related sites that I regularly visit. So, scanning through some of the forums I came across this thread about the overhead of performing object casting in Java. Interesting, and something that I've never really thought about before. I can certainly see how running all the various checks at runtime can introduce some overhead but I imagine that it's still fairly tiny. I've not read the book that's mentioned (Java Performance Tuning) but perhaps I might look it up now. Hmmm ... interesting.

Trending: 2 Presidents & Romo, Father-Son Dance Steals Show, Daughter Dance Goes Viral
The final four still the big talk, including some of the fans in the crowd.
There were more than 79 thousand people in the stands to watch the championship game –setting a new NCAA record. Several familiar faces were all in one suite.
Two former Presidents and a couple of Dallas Cowboys got a huge response when this shot was broadcast across the big screen.
Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, Cowboys Tony Romo and Jason Whitten were all guests in Jerry Jones suite.
We tweeted out this picture on CBSDFW.
Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton in suite, and #Romo scored the photobomb #CBSDFWFinalFour pic.twitter.com/5KbqGOwxEM
— CBSDFW (@CBSDFW) April 8, 2014
It was retweeted more than 3 thousand times — and was trending in Washington D.C. last night.
CBSDFW also caught these photos from the jumbotron:
After the game, President Clinton tweeted this picture with Jerry Jones, former college coaches Nolan Richardson and Eddie Sutton, and the Athletic Director from the University of Arkansas.
Great night watching #NCAAFinals with @JeffLongUA, Coach Richardson, Coach Sutton, Jerry Jones & 43. pic.twitter.com/RBvp7W2gMh
— Bill Clinton (@billclinton) April 8, 2014
Another jumbo-tron moment also had people talking, a father-son dancing duo!
The crowd went wild for this routine where the captain of the Dallas Mavericks Maniacs showed the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
The jumbo-tron found Rob Maiden and his 15-year-old son Trey performing a choreographed routine to the song "Happy" by Pharrell.
The camera kept cutting back from the father-son crew to other fans — and the crowd couldn't get enough of them.
Maiden says he taught his son the routine on Saturday and they worked all day Sunday to perfect it for the sell-out crowd.
Saturday in the Serafini household is dance party central and three months worth of dance video clips have gone viral online.
Tony Serafini started posting 6-second clips of his 4-year-old daughter dancing each Saturday morning to the social media site Vine.
He recently edited them all together and posted them on YouTube.
It's a collection of different songs, different outfits, but always a whole lot of energy — at least from his daughter…not so much from tony.
The video has been viewed more than 1.5 million times.

Let's face it, every city likes to know where it places in the league tables. And there is no end of survey data to satisfy this appetite. Hardly a week goes by that somebody doesn't issue a report comparing cities on various factors. These frequently generate some media buzz. But media reports are almost always just a recitation of the survey's conclusions. What I find more interesting is to dig behind the rankings and see the methods these groups actually use to calculate their ratings. Believe it or not it is often very difficult to get an understanding of the survey methodology based on the published reports or the publisher's web site. And often there is no raw data available either. But you can usually get enough to make some judgments.
Let's have fun with a couple of examples. The first is the recently issued "American Fitness Index", that rated the top 15 metro areas in the country plus Indianapolis as to their general health and fitness. No reports are yet loaded on the web site, but the Indianapolis Star had the data sheet for Indianapolis [dead link], which ranked #12 out of 16 metros in the survey. This sheet reveals that there are three portions of the ranking: personal health indicators (11 items), community/environmental factors (15 items), and health care providers (1 item). It's not clear how these are weighted, but the preponderance of the items are in the community/environmental factors section, which looks suspect to me. It focuses almost exclusively on government parks and recreation facilities. There's nothing about, for example, air pollution. Some of the items would appear to have a tenuous relationship to health and fitness. For example, public transit commuters per capita and dog parks per capita. I like transit. Transit might be good. But why does sitting on the bus make you so much more fit that it deserves to be on this survey? And dog parks? The health care providers index just listed primary care physicians per capita. There are certainly other measures that would be useful. Additionally, this is a quantity not a quality measure. And it isn't clear to me whether more doctors is a good thing or a bad thing. It might mean greater access to health care or it might mean more sick people.
The other survey I was looking at was the metro competitiveness survey published by the Beacon Hill Institute at Suffolk University. This was inspired by the Global Competitiveness Report published by the World Economic Forum. Their scorecard includes criteria in several
criteria grouped under the following headings:
- Government and Fiscal Policies
- Security
- Infrastructure
- Human Resources
- Technology
- Business Incubation
- Environmental Policy
- Openness
I think this is a pretty solid list of categories. The only possible quibble is Environmental Policy. Does having a stricter environmental protection policy help your competitiveness or hurt it? Having very lax environmental laws appears to be one thing that has really made China very competitive – at least in the short term. We'll see, but in my view the jury is still out.
It is below the category level that some of the individual ratings start to look suspect. The first thing that pops out at me is the method of calculation. They rate the factors on a scale of 0-10 using a method of setting the mean to 5, the standard deviation to one, and the range to 0-10. Then there is further normalizing and combining. This sounds impressive, but why do it? The use of an enforced normal distribution means that outliers are heavily rewarded or punished. To me the very word "index" implies a simple arithmetic calculation, not a fancy statistical one. The report did not provide any rationale for this type of calculation.
Then we consider the actual measures, some of which are good and some not so good. Consider "toxic releases per 1000 sq mi" in the environmental section. That's a good measure of the environment, except that MSA's are made up of counties and vary hugely in sides. Some have large counties that extend for many miles into the countryside, and can skew the calculations. A better measure would be emissions per sq. mi. of the urbanized area, a more restricted measure. Thought it is probably impossible to get data sliced that way. The Bond Rating looks like a nice figure to list under fiscal policy. But I notice that Indianapolis, which has a AAA rating from S&P, doesn't have that listed as one of its competitive advantages. That doesn't seem right. "High speed lines per 1000" wouldn't crack my top five infrastructure items, though it does for these guys. Nor would "NIH support to institutions" be on my top five technology list.
The point is not to dismiss these surveys as worthless. They actually contain a lot of good data. But they also are limited by their methods. The key is not to pay too much attention to the headline ratings, but to dig into the details to find out where you really stand on the things that matter, or where a complete picture might not being drawn.
For an example of what I consider a really great city comparison report, check out the Columbus "Benchmarking Central Ohio 2008" survey, which has wealth of great data about that city and its competitors.

Snowmobile Engines, Used and New, Engine Parts for Modern and Vintage Snowmobiles
Regarding snowmobile engines or any other major component for your sled, the web provides snowmobilers with some options. It has become a tool just like those hanging on the wall of your work shop. What we have done is provide a few of these options for those on the hunt for cold weather clothing or sled riding gear.
The keys to success are fairly simple. The availability of the desired size and style, combined with the overall cost which includes delivery and any required taxes. Here are a few of the more popular options...
Complete snowmobile engines and countless engine parts listed for sale. There are always complete snowmobile engines up for sale either due to a sled being wrecked or an owner just parting out a snowmobile.
There's, of course, always a selection of various engine parts available as well. I think you'll be as surprised as I was to find out how for many models and brands have used engines and parts available. There are always snowmobile engines available to mainly to fit Arctic Cat, Skidoo, Polaris, Yamaha, as well as many different vintage, obsolete snowmobiles.
This is an opportunity to save money on a snowmobile repair that normally can be quite an investment. The only downfall with buying a complete snowmobile engine is not knowing its history, but if things work out you'll find yourself saving a boat-load of cash.

|The Game Story:
|BEVERLY, MA - The Endicott College men's lacrosse team posted 14 goals for
the second time in as many days, downing the Wheaton College Lyons, 14-4,
on Thursday night in Beverly, MA. With the win, Endicott improves their
record to 3-1, while Wheaton falls to 0-3.
Endicott got on the board just over a minute into the contest as Nick Cosco
(Londonderry, NH/Londonderry) received a pass all alone on the crease after
a failed Wheaton clearing attempt, beating junior goaltender Jeremy Beech
(West Newbury, MA/Governor Dummer) to put the Gulls up 1-0. Eddie O'Reilly
(Beverly, MA/Beverly) doubled the home team's lead at the 5:52 mark of the
opening quarter as he found the back of the net sweeping from goal-line
extended, advancing the Gulls lead to two.
The Lyons fired back just twenty-seconds later, as Chris Hade (Franklin
Lakes, NJ/Dwight Englewood) led a fast break to Tim Horan (Cheshire,
CT/Cheshire) who quickly skipped the ball cross-crease to Conor Whitney
(West Hartford, CT/Kingswood-Oxford) for the lay-up goal. That would serve
to be the only tally of the first half for Wheaton, as Endicott responded
with nine unanswered goals over the next 20:23 to enter the half up 11-1.
The Gulls put it into cruise control the second half, only attempting five
shots over the next thirty minutes of play. Wheaton College capitalized on
Endicott's second half penalties, notching man-up goals by Andrew Rohan
(South Hadley, MA/Avon Old Farms) and Trey Helms (Cockeysville, MD/Saint
Paul's), before closing out the contest with a all-even score from Marco
Barbone (Newton, MA/Newton North).
The Gulls had a pair of four goal scorers in Nick Cosco and Dan Ryan
(Billerica, MA/Billerica). The defense for the Blue and Green made a strong
presence all evening long, as EC only allowed four goals on the night. The
goaltending trio of Sean Kearney (Mahopac, NY/Mahopac), Nate Barry
(Chestertown, MD/Gunston) and Eric Hagarty (Sudbury, MA/Kent School) once
again stood tall between the pipes, turning in a combined 16 saves in the
win. Sophomore midfielder John Ortolani (Billerica, MA/Billerica) was once
again strong at the face-off X, posting a dominating 14-20 (70%)
performance on Thursday.
Endicott completes a rigorous stretch of three games in four days on
Saturday, as the three-time defending Commonwealth Coast Conference
champions set out to defend their crown, opening conference play at Roger
Williams University on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 PM.

The Cost
The partner company pays each student an hourly wage for hours worked and provides matching funds for tuition and other college expenses. Typically, if a student works 8-10 weeks in the summer, the cost for wages would be approximately $2,500-3,000 plus a matching scholarship contribution of the student's gross earnings ($2,500 to 3,000) for school expenses. In addition, the partner company pays an annual contribution of $10,000 per year to the Foundation with no limitation on the number of students they may sponsor.
* Hourly rates generally range from $8 to $10 per hour at the sponsoring company's discretion.

Ohio will ask the Supreme Court to review a federal appeals court's decision that the state must offer early voting on the weekend before the election to all voters, not just those in the military, the state announced Tuesday.
"This is an unprecedented intrusion by the federal courts into how states run elections and because of its impact on all 50 states as to who and how elections will be run in America we are asking the Supreme Court to step in and allow Ohioans to run Ohio elections," Secretary of State Jon Husted (R) said in a statement.
A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit ruled last week that if Ohio allowed members of the military to vote in-person on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday before the Nov. 6 election, it had to provide the same opportunity for all voters. The suit was brought by Ohio Democrats and the Obama campaign.
Husted said that if the appeal is unsuccessful, he will work with local supervisors of elections to make sure that all counties offer voting on the weekend before the election. The appeals court decision said those decisions could be made by the local officials, but Husted said it was important to have a statewide procedure.
Husted's full statement:
"This is an unprecedented intrusion by the federal courts into how states run elections and because of its impact on all 50 states as to who and how elections will be run in America we are asking the Supreme Court to step in and allow Ohioans to run Ohio elections.
"This ruling not only doesn't make legal sense, it doesn't make practical sense. The court is saying that all voters must be treated the same way under Ohio law, but also grants Ohio's 88 elections boards the authority to establish 88 different sets of rules. That means that one county may close down voting for the final weekend while a neighboring county may remain open. How any court could consider this a remedy to an equal protection problem is stunning.
"As a swing state, we in Ohio expect to be held to a high standard and level of scrutiny when it comes to elections. However, it's troubling that the federal courts have failed to recognize that there isn't another state in the union which can claim Ohio's broad menu of voting options and opportunity to vote. In Ohio, ALL voters already have at least 230 hours available to vote in person prior to Election Day, ALL registered voters received an application to vote by mail and ALL voters still have the ability to vote during the 13-hour window on Election Day itself.
"While I will be asking the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold Ohio law through the appeals process, the last thing I want to see is a non-uniform system where voters will be treated differently in all 88 counties.
"Since some boards of elections have already started to take action on hours of operation for the three days before Election Day, I am going to take time to consult with all 88 counties before crafting a directive to set uniform hours should the state not be successful upon appeal."

Ruhr snooker: Advani, Mehta beaten
India's Pankaj Advani and Aditya Mehta lost their sixth round matches in the Ruhr Open snooker tournament here Saturday to opponents who will be participating the Indian Open later this month.
Advani from Bangalore went down 2-4 to Barry Hawkins while Mehta squandered a 3-2 lead to lose 3-4 to Stephen McGuire who put in breaks of 101 and 75 in the sixth and seventh frames to wrap up the match.
Earlier in the match, Mumbai's Mehta took the first, fourth (59 break) and fifth (50 break) frames, before McGuire came surging back to eliminate the Indian.
Advani faded away after taking the first frame as Hawkins took the second and third on breaks of 69 and 63 before winning a close fourth on the colours for a 3-1 lead. The Indian pocketed the fifth, but Hawkins posted a 56 to take the sixth for the match.
In the previous rounds, Advani had beaten Barry Pinches 4-1 and the legendary Jimmy White 4-2 while Mehta had got past Kevin Van Hove 4-1 and Marcus Campbell 4-3.

Kristen Stewart had plenty to be happy about last night at the Chanel Métiers d'Art show — not that you could tell. She had not only received the 'golden ticket' invite, but was just named the face of Chanel's Pre-Fall 2014 campaign — which means she will be donning the American West-infused designs that paraded down the runway. And yet, Stewart looked miserable in her crop top and baggy orange leather pants with a sweater wrapped around the waist. Fortunately, Dakota Fanning and Lily Collins each seemed happy about their own Chanel Fall 2013 Couture looks. Fanning paired her textured shift with a braid crown, while Collins wore a berry lip with her matching sequin dress. Also perched front row was the inimitable Lauren Hutton, who looked youthful as ever in a tweed jacket, T-shirt, denim, and the most divine quilted leather thigh-high boots. See all the looks, here:

"The most important thing in my bag is the dishwashing towel," laughs Nadja Saidakova, principal dancer with Berlin Staatsoper Ballett. She's referring to the ordinary dishwashing cloths that can substitute for paper towels inside pointe shoes. Unlike paper, the brightly colored dishrags don't roll up inside the shoe and cause painful blisters. "Actually, most important are the shoes," she quickly adds. "Without pointe shoes, I don't need the whole bag!" Saidakova typically carries five pairs of pointe shoes in her bag: one brand-new pair, one that's slightly worn, one pair that's soft and two that are not sewn, just in case she finds time to sew between rehearsals. She's been carrying this particular bag for eight years and tucked among the pointe shoes, "there is a good luck gift that [BSB artistic director and principal dancer] Vladimir Malakhov gave me as a merde when we first danced together," she says, of the stuffed animal [see inset]. "I carry this gift always."
The Goods
Pointe shoes, leg warmers, booties, ballet slippers, toe separators, spiked massage ball, foot roller, dishwashing cloths, stuffed animal, bon-bons for dry throat, tissues, scissors, elastic, ribbon, needle and thread, Tiger Balm, Band-Aids, spray bottle filled with water for softening shoes, two X-acto knives to cut pointe shoe shanks, water bottle and emergency mini-container of rosin for her heels.

Case Study | September 16, 2013
Enhancing Lake Thunderbird Through Hypolimnetic OxygenationSource: BlueInGreen
Constructed in 1965 by the Bureau of Reclamation, Lake Thunderbird is a 6,070-acre raw water supply with a volumetric capacity of approximately 119,600-acre-feet. Lake Thunderbird is the drinking water supply for Del City, Midwest City and Norman, Oklahoma; a total population over 190,000. The reservoir is operated and governed by the Central Oklahoma Masters Conservancy District (COMCD).
During the summer of 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) stimulus funds for ecological/environmental projects became available. At this time, the COMCD, the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Tetra Tech, Inc. consulting/engineering partnered to design, install, and monitor a hypolimnetic oxygenation system. There are several factors that led to the decision for a hypolimnetic oxygenation system – including, but not limited to, Lake Thunderbird is currently listed as Category 5 (303d list) in the Oklahoma 2008 Integrated Report as impaired due to turbidity, low dissolved oxygen (DO) and color; the reservoir is listed as a Sensitive Water Supply (SWS) within Oklahoma Water Quality Standards; and, the reservoir fails to meet the 10-μg/L Chlorophyll-a requirement of SWS reservoirs.
After evaluating several alternatives, the group selected BlueInGreen as the chosen technology partner. Specifically, the SDOX technology was the chosen because of its energy
efficiency and ability to leave the thermal stratification intact. In 2010, the SDOX was procured, manufactured and installed.

Domonic Brown trots home as his third-inning home run gave the Phillies a 5-0 lead in a 13-8 win over the Mets.
Baseball after baseball flew deep into the Queens night sky Friday, most of them coming off Phillies' bats. The Mets played the part of whipping boy and the Phillies gladly took part in the fun.
The offense was potent. The final tally in Friday's 13-8 win was more of a rap sheet than box score: 15 hits, three home runs, three doubles and one triple.
The Mets trotted out six pitchers. Three left without allowing a run. Their defense chipped in with three errors too. ...

After the first version was released in 1996, Argonne continued to expand the GREET model in Excel spreadsheets to include alternative biofuels, hydrogen and electric vehicles pathways.
In the past few years a new project was started to implement the GREET model using a new platform that is independent of Excel with the goal to improve the overall user experience. This new platform will be released exclusively to attendees of the workshop. Please visit the software page for an overview of the new features.

As of Wednesday, August 7, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- With three simple words, Ferndale, Mich., resident Theresa Caverly gave the new terminal at the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport the blessing officials had been hoping for as the structure moved steadily from concept to reality.
"This is lovely," said Caverly, a contractor who is a frequent flier to Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany.
Caverly and a number of other passengers awaited their scheduled 11:20 a.m. flight to Atlanta Wednesday morning in the comfort of the new $10 million terminal, which welcomed incoming passengers from its first flight shortly after 6 a.m. Airport officials noted no major glitches as they transitioned from the aging McAfee Terminal to the new structure.
"So far, no big problems," Canace Benford, a supervisor with Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration, said. "We took care of the move (Tuesday evening), so we're ready."
Caverly said she was pleased to see "all this glass" in the new terminal.
"This is so inviting, especially when you consider how depressing the old terminal building was," she said. "It had issues; it was so dark and industrial-looking. This really changes the first impression people will get when they fly into Albany. It reminds me of the changes made at the Orlando airport several years ago.
"This is the perfect size terminal for this airport, and I had absolutely no problems getting through security. It's a world of difference since I flew in here a month or so ago."
Frank Nask of Palm Beach, Fla., said his flight Wednesday was the second he'd taken from the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport. He, too, noted the contrast between the new and old terminals.
"This is pretty nice, easy to get through," Nask said. "They could have more concessions, but this is what I would expect from an airport this size."
Airport Director Yvette Aehle, who helped supervise the move from the McAfee Terminal to the new facility until almost 7 p.m. Tuesday before arriving Wednesday at 4 a.m., said she was thrilled to be making the move.
"This is amazing; I'm so happy that we're finally here," she said. "It will probably take us a while to learn the new systems here and adapt to all the new procedures. But this is such a huge day for the airport.
"We're still finalizing a few of the details, and there will be a bit of an inconvenience when we move into Phase 3 (which includes demolition of the McAfee Terminal). We ask our passengers to bear with us while we go through the process. They'll have to walk around the old terminal and mix with traffic until we complete the construction. But I think they'll be pleased with the changes once we're through."
TSA officials and vendors at the airport spent Tuesday evening finishing up their duties in preparation for the final flight into the airport at 8:30 p.m. TSA officials, which provided security check for the final flight out around 6 p.m., immediately started moving their security equipment to the new facility.
"Everything's been pretty seamless," TSA's Jared Babin said. "As soon as the final flight (out) left, we started moving our scanners and other equipment. We'll have to reconfigure some stuff to fit the new facility, but we'll get it in place tonight and come in early tomorrow to make sure everything's ready to go."
Representatives of the Avis and Enterprise car-rental facilities were also going through last-minute details Tuesday evening.
"We're really looking forward to the move," LaShayla Green, an Avis representative, said. "It's a whole new look, a whole new environment, and I think we'll appreciate it as much as our customers."
Miriam Simpson with Enterprise said the change to the new facility will be significant.
"I think people flying into the airport will see a nicer side of Albany," she said. "We're moving from what has become a dark, drab building into a modern new structure with lots of light. I think it will be a lot more fun for those of us who work here and a lot more pleasant experience for our customers."

The Los Alamos Hilltopper hockey team will head into the Year-End Tournament this weekend as the No. 2 seed.
The Year-End Tournament, which will determine the New Mexico Interscholastic Ice Hockey League champion, will start Friday and continue through Sunday at the Taos Youth and Family Center.
Los Alamos, the reigning state champion, will go into the tournament after a 15-2-1 regular season. It finished right behind Taos, the tournament's top seed, which posted a 16-2 record this year.
The Hilltoppers will have to get up early Saturday for their tournament opener. They will face the winner between seventh-seeded Rio Rancho and 10th-seeded Sue Cleveland at 7 a.m.
Should they prevail — they swept both teams during the regular season — the Hilltoppers would play again at 6:15 p.m. Saturday.
Taos, which handed Los Alamos one of its two losses this season, will face the winner between St. Pius X, the eighth seed, and ninth-seeded Santa Fe.
Los Alamos won its last six contests, capping off the regular season with a 7-5 victory over La Cueva's Bears.

How beautiful it is to see a child walking with real faith in Jesus Christ. But that just doesn㦙 happen; it is something that is planted in their hearts. God establishes a belief in Him, yes𤪳ut that belief must be developed. The Bible tells us that faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God. And as a parent, one of the greatest legacies you can give a child is sharing Bible stories at a very tender young age.
The importance of raising a child to love God𠏋 Word is critical in this time and age. It is our responsibility to pass on the knowledge of God𠏋 Word to the next generation.

André Leon Talley
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2015)
|André Leon Talley
Talley at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival
October 16, 1949
Durham, North Carolina, U.S.
|Editor-at-large Numéro Russia magazine
|André Leon Talley on Twitter
André Leon Talley (born October 16, 1949) is the former American editor-at-large for Vogue magazine, listed as Contributing Editor in the April 2010 masthead. Talley has been a front-row regular at fashion shows in New York, Paris, London and Milan for more than 25 years.[1] He uses his influence to promote young fashion designers and mentors young talent in other fields.
His most famous pairings of late have been with designers Tracy Reese, Rachel Roy, and singer/actress Jennifer Hudson. He is known as a very close friend of pop diva Mariah Carey, fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons, and tennis star Venus Williams. In 2007, he was ranked 45th in Out magazine's "50 Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America".[2] Talley has an honorary Doctorate of Humanities from Savannah College of Art and Design, where he serves as a member of the Board of Trustees. As of March 2010, Talley was serving on the judging panel for America's Next Top Model (from Cycle 14 to Cycle 17).[3]
Talley was born in the community of Hayti, Durham, North Carolina, as the son of Alma Ruth Davis and William C. Talley. His parents left him with his grandmother, Bennie Davis, who raised him and, he claims, gave him an "understanding of luxury."[4] After graduating from North Carolina Central University, Talley received his master's degree in French from Brown University. While at Brown, Talley befriended students from the nearby Rhode Island School of Design and often went on weekend trips to New York City. He is associated with former American Vogue editor-in-chief and Costume Institute consultant Diana Vreeland. His first job was as an assistant for Andy Warhol for $50 a week.
In the mid-2000s, an intervention was initiated by Anna Wintour to get Talley to lose weight. As seen on The Oprah Winfrey Show, he eventually lost a great deal of weight, and was eating more healthily.
In 2008, Talley advised the future First Family on fashion, and introduced Michelle Obama to the Taiwanese Canadian designer Jason Wu, from whom she bought several dresses including her inaugural gown.[5]
He had a cameo appearance in the 2008 movie Sex and the City as a Vogue executive. He also appears in the movie-documentary about the Italian couturier Valentino Garavani, Valentino: The Last Emperor and in the documentary The September Issue. In October 2011, the André Leon Talley Gallery opened in the SCAD Museum of Art. He also made a cameo in Mariah Carey's "Say Somethin'" video.
Talley wrote an autobiography entitled A.L.T.: A Memoir, published in 2003.[4]
He also authored A.L.T. 365+, an art monograph designed by art director Sam Shahid, published in 2005. 365 features photos and captions from one year in the life of André Leon Talley.[6]
Also co-wrote MegaStar with Richard Bernstein, a book with an introduction from Paloma Picasso, which has portraits of famous stars.[7]

Momentum is a fickle friend. When you have it you don't want to lose it and when you don't have it you'll give almost anything to get it. I'd say Microsoft has the momentum because wow, what a week this is shaping up to be. First, Windows 8 releases to manufacturing (RTM), then Visual Studio 2012 and .NET 4.5 is completed and last but certainly not least, Outlook.com is previewed. Let's not forget Office 2013 as that's another noteworthy announcement (albeit last week).
I'll leave the aforementioned blogs to get into the nitty-gritty details but here's a high level overview of what some of these releases encompass:
Windows 8 RTM
Visual Studio 2012 RTM
Team Foundation Service
Staying true to my roots, I couldn't leave out ALM so with that I highly recommend viewing Brian Harry's interview on Team Foundation Service. If you've signed up for the service a while back and haven't logged in lately you should as there's a wealth of updates that have been deployed.
These are just a few of the product updates that have been released with even more to come so stay tuned!

This post is from staff writer Sierra Black. Sierra writes about frugality, sustainable living, and getting her kids to eat kale at Childwild.com.
Every month, you spend money you don't need to. No matter how good your budget is, or how closely you track your spending, something slips through the net.
J.D.'s post last week about casting stones at our friends' financial choices struck a chord with me. His friend is struggling financially, and yet he's just bought new iPhones for his whole family. It's obvious to J.D. that this is a bad financial move, yet his friend seems oblivious to it.
He's trying to get his act together, but even in the midst of that effort he can't see that his spending choices are perpetuating his problems. He has huge financial blind spots, areas of his personal finances that are just invisible to him.
We all do.
My own blind spots
When my family was in financial trouble, it felt like we were living as simply as we possibly could. There was no money for luxuries. We couldn't even cover the basic necessities some months, and we were sinking into debt.
Looking back, though, it's easy to see how some of the "necessities" we paid for then weren't really needed at all. Did we have to have a daily newspaper subscription? Two cars? How essential were the swim lessons and music classes our kids were enrolled in? In the midst of that crisis, I spent many nights poring over our budget, trying to find things to cut. Yet somehow I was blind to excesses that now seem so obvious to me.
I assume that I'm still doing the same thing today. I've cut the newspaper subscription, and a lot of other major expenses. Our household finances are no longer sinking fast. But we're still living on a pretty tight budget, and I'd like to be in a more secure position than we're in.
When I look at the budget each month, it looks so tight to me. We've dropped all the extra classes. We canceled all our subscriptions. I've slashed our grocery budget in half. What's left for me to cut?
The simple truth is: I don't know. Five years from now, I'll look back on my life today and the waste will stand out like weeds in a garden, but right now I can't see it.
Finding your blind spots
How can you identify the excesses in your own budget? Here are a few bits of advice:
- Knowledge is power. I've said it before but it still bears repeating: Track your spending. When you don't know what you're spending your money on, you can't know if those dollars are well-spent or wasted. Use some system, whether it's sophisticated software or the back of an envelope, to track every cent that comes into or goes out of your household.
- Ask yourself. As you review your spending, ask yourself a few simple questions about your purchases and expenses. Did I need this? Did I even want it? Did I use it? Was it worth the time and money I put into it? A few careful passes with these questions in mind should help you ditch a lot of the dead weight in your budget.
- Ask someone else. Ultimately, you won't be able to see into all of your blind spots; you'll need someone else to help you look at your financial picture if you want to see it clearly. You can hire a financial advisor to do this. If you work for a university or large company, your HR department may even be able to connect you with free financial counseling. If you'd rather take the amateur approach, find a friend who is sensitive and smart, and ask them to go over your expenses for the past few months with you.
Finding the extra expenses in your budget can be painful. Those blind spots are there for a reason. You probably don't want to know, on some level, that you're overspending. The places where I still break my budget are entirely emotional ones: I spend too much on my kids, because I like doing nice things for them. I spend too much when I'm sick, or tired, or anxious. I spend too much on dates with my husband, because we get so little time together.
This is why a trusted friend or financial advisor can be such a great weapon against emotion-driven budget busters. Sometimes, we all need someone to very gently and calmly explain that we just can't afford the new car, or the family vacation, or the sexy boots. That wanting something badly enough doesn't mean we're entitled to it, and now isn't the time to take on a new debt.
Once you've cast a light into a wasteful corner of your spending life, do what you can to curb that expense. Cancel the subscription, stop buying the morning latte, take up running around your neighborhood instead of going to the gym.
But accept that you have more blind spots. Do the best you can, knowing that five years from now you will in all likelihood look back on your present life and think, "Really? I spent all that money on that? It seemed so important at the time. What was I thinking?"

Voters cast their ballots for what they believe is right, for the things that make moral sense. Yet Democrats have too often failed to use language linking their moral values with their policies.
The Little Blue Book demonstrates how to make that connection clearly and forcefully, with hands-on advice for discussing the most pressing issues of our time: the economy, health care, women's issues, energy and environmental policy, education, food policy, and more.
Dissecting the ways that extreme conservative positions have permeated political discourse, Lakoff and Wehling show how to fight back on moral grounds and in concrete terms. Revelatory, passionate, and deeply practical, The Little Blue Book will forever alter the way Democrats and progressives think and talk about politics.
"Blending insight and rigor, Lakoff and Wehling have produced a Rosetta Stone that translates progressive ideas into fundamental human values that will resonate with Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs."
—Michael Brune, executive director, Sierra Club
"If you only preach to the choir, you've no need for The Little Blue Book. But if you want to reach people you don't agree with, read this book!"
—Joan Blades, founder of Moveon.org
"Republicans offer values. Democrats offer policies. Guess what? Values often win, even when the policies are more popular. It's about time Democrats learned how to talk (and think) in terms of the underlying values that make them Democrats—values that are more widely shared by Americans than the values Republicans espouse. Here's the essential handbook for thinking and talking Democratic—must reading not only for every Democrat but for every responsible citizen."
—Robert Reich, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley, author of Beyond Outrage
"This book is a game changer, one that will enable Democrats to regain their language and to stop mimicking Republican ideas and rhetoric."
—Diane Ravitch, author of The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education
"I've always learned a lot from Lakoff, and you will too."
—George Soros
"With The Little Blue Book, Lakoff and Wehling are giving Democrats and progressives a gift—the tools to inspire Americans by using the moral language of our Democratic values of caring for each other and building and protecting our community. Our leaders, Obama included, must stop falling into right-wing traps and repeating their language and frames. Our vision is far better than the right wing's. Use this book and learn from Lakoff and Wehling how we can best communicate for a future we all deserve and need."
—Don Hazen, executive editor, AlterNet.org
"The Little Blue Book gives progressives not just invaluable tools but, more important, an infusion of the hope desperately needed to fix our broken politics. By mapping the political brain, Lakoff and Wehling have shown Democrats the surest way to find their spines."
—Ken Cook, president, Environmental Working Group
"The Little Blue Book tells us how to say what we need to say to bring about the policy changes Americans need."
—Van Jones, author of Rebuild the Dream
