With the exception of death and taxes, nothing in life is guaranteed, right? But when it comes to your bench press strength, there are two bench press workouts that claim you will add 50 pounds to your bench press in the coming weeks. Guaranteed. The first is called boldly Blast your bench, the second is called critical bench. Let's take a closer look at each shot.
1. Blast your bench
The name of this routine is actually very appropriate. The core of the workout is, you guessed it, bench press. But there is much more than that. Naturally, a bank has priority, but it is really a routine full of hard core that will strengthen your entire body in the process.
The routine consists of a series of three weeks mini bench press training, culminating in one rep max test. But unlike other routines, blast your bench requires a lot of dedication to complete. The frequency of training is very high, in fact, you are required to workout every day, or at least 6 days a week. This is a very unusual approach, since most routines you want to exercise 4-5 days a week max.
Despite the high incidence, overtraining is not a problem because the workouts are short enough to give both your body and your mind enough time to recover. This is not a new concept, in fact, it has been used successfully by Eastern Europeans lifters for decades. However, blast your bench incorporates new scientific methods, techniques and power to bring this system to update and improve its efficiency.
The program is very detailed, allowing you to follow a full bench workout, diet, additional exercises ... You will be guided step by step through the whole routine, eliminating guesswork and confusion.
2. Critical Bench
Critical Bench Program has been around for some time now, and has been successfully tested and implemented by thousands of lifters. Unlike Blast your bench, this routine is more "classic", meaning that you follow a fairly typical routine of heavy weights, low reps and frequency of training medium.
The core reason this workout works is amazing customizing the program you receive upon signing. After answering a few questions about the strength of your bench press, the current regime, body type and even easier to answer the questions, you will receive a full bench press training program, specially modified for you. This is as close as it gets to having a personal trainer without having to pay for one.
As with Fight your program Bench Bench critical you hold hands all the way to the end of the routine, giving you all the details you need to complete the workout without guessing what to do next.
Both Blast your bench and bench provides critical time-tested bench press workouts that, if followed, will indeed add 50 pounds to your bench press in a matter of weeks. Both workouts requires total dedication and not just in the gym, but outside of it too. In addition, you must be mentally prepared or you will fail in the first cycle. This is especially true with Blast your bench, that will test your dedication more than what you have tried so far. If you are a complete beginner or can not devote sufficient time and effort to your bench press workout, you should probably stay away, as you're not ready for any of them. However, if you're tired of not getting the results you want, give these workouts go. They do work!
Let's face it - building muscle is difficult. But it could be much easier and simpler. Just cut through all that BS, lies, half-truths and myths about bodybuilding today.
So, are you ready to discover the truth about muscle gain, workouts, diet, supplements, steroids ... and what you absolutely need to know if you ever want your dreams to come true bodybuilding? Can you handle the truth? Are you ready to be the best bodybuilder you can be?
I hope you said yes ... If so, then ...

All Souls Church
London- Architectural LightingDownload Case Study
Lighting Technology Projects has completed the specification, supply and installation of an elegant white luminaire scheme for the Grade One listed All Souls Church.
Situated on Regent Street, in central London's famous Marylebone district, LTP was appointed by LUXX to integrate the Speirs and Major design, with whom the team have collaborated with previously.
The building was lit in three sections, the lower and upper rotunda received narrow beam Meyer Superlight fixtures, with the latter also benefitting from EncapSulite fluorescent fittings to illuminate through the louvers. The solution for the spire consisted of Stralux searchlights, which were selected for their marine-grade durability and emit a striking soft white glow.
Project Manager Keith Elms added: "All Souls definitely has a life of its own, something we needed to reflect in the specification of equipment and the results were hugely rewarding."

A federal appeals court has vacated the conviction of a former West El Paso pharmacist convicted of healthcare fraud, while a defendant in the city's public corruption case is seeking to have his guilty plea withdrawn.
Both men claim misconduct by a federal judge in El Paso.
In 2012, U.S. District Judge Frank Montalvo sentenced Peter Victor Ayika, 58, to 63 months, or more than five years, in prison after he admitted to submitting fraudulent billings to Medicaid, the Federal Employees Health Benefit Program and private insurance providers for medicines and other pharmaceuticals he never dispensed. Montalvo also ordered Ayika to pay $2.5 million in restitution.
Ayika pleaded guilty to fraud after a jury convicted him on charges of possession with intent to distribute hydrocodone by a practitioner and of selling pseudoephedrine to an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration agent.
In the drug case, Montalvo sentenced Ayika to five years in prison on the distribution charge, and more than 14 years in prison on the pseudoephedrine charge.
Montalvo ordered Ayika, who was arrested by federal agents in March 2009 at his West Side pharmacy, to serve all three prison sentences concurrently, or at the same time. Prison records show Ayika is serving his time at the La Tuna federal prison in Anthony, Texas.
According to a ruling handed down on Feb. 12 by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Ayika's guilty plea in the fraud case was vacated because Montalvo "improperly participated in plea negotiations."
Ayika, who filed his own appeal, claimed that during plea negotiations, Montalvo told Ayika pleading guilty "is your chance to cut your losses short."
Montalvo also told Ayika's attorney, "the best chance here, quite frankly, for him is the plea of guilty and the concurrent sentencing."
In his appeal, Ayika said he was willing to enter into a plea agreement but told Montalvo he was unwilling to concede that the amount involved in the fraud case was more than $1 million.
"We conclude that the district court's comments ran afoul of Rule 11's absolute prohibition on judicial participation in plea negotiations," the appeals court wrote in their ruling. "...(W)e hold that the district court's error was clear and obvious."
The appeals court also ordered that Ayika's case be presided over by a different federal district judge in El Paso. As of Friday, Ayika's case had yet to be reassigned.
This is not the first time the appeals court has vacated a guilty plea and sentence because of statements Montalvo has made.
In June 2013, the court vacated the guilty pleas of Adrian Peña, an El Paso businessman who pleaded guilty to public corruption charges in 2010. Peña's case was sent to another federal district judge in El Paso.
The appeals court said Montalvo violated Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure when he told Peña's lawyer that he would not accept the plea unless he resolved a civil case involving Peña.
Last week, a former local attorney who pleaded guilty to public corruption charges filed a request to have his plea vacated, claiming Montalvo involved himself in plea negotiations and implicated he is guilty.
David Escobar, 65, was sentenced in February 2013 to three years and five months in prison after pleading guilty to a conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud charge in 2012.
Federal prison records show Escobar, who is incarcerated at a prison in Beaumont, Texas, is scheduled to be released on Feb. 8, 2016.
According to court documents, Escobar is seeking to vacate his plea because his attorney, Miguel Villalba, told him his sentence would be "greatly reduced" if he cooperated with federal prosecutors instead of going to trial.
Escobar also claims Montalvo involved himself in plea negotiations by telling Villalba, "I know (Escobar) has his ear to the ground and knows what is going on in the Lower Valley. If he meets with the FBI he will substantially help himself."
Villalba in turn told Escobar about Montalvo's comments.
Escobar also stated in documents that Villalba told him he would be sentenced to a year and a half in prison if he cooperated.
"... based on (Villalba's) comments and advice concerning the Judge's statements convinced him that the Judge felt (Escobar) was guilty and that the Judge wanted him to enter a plea instead of going to trial," Escobar, who is representing himself, wrote in his request to withdraw his guilty plea.
Federal prosecutors had yet to file a response to Escobar's request as of Thursday.
Escobar and 10 others were charged in 2010 as part of the public corruption investigation into Access HealthSource.
According to their indictment, in 2004, Access President Frank Apodaca and Access spokesman Marc Schwartz conspired with former County Judge Luther Jones and Escobar, Jones' frequent co-counsel, to increase the business Access had with governments across El Paso County.
According to court documents, after Access lost its contract with the Ysleta Independent School District in 2004, Luther Jones began lobbying trustees, particularly Milton "Mickey" Duntley.
Duntley lent his support to reopening the contract in exchange for getting a relative — reported to be his son — a job with a subsidiary of the National Center for the Employment of the Disabled, the company headed by Bob Jones.
After initial resistance, Duntley also supported replacing the law firm representing the school board with one of Jones' choosing. That firm gave Jones and Escobar a cut of its earnings.
Last month, a Dallas-area civil case lawyer Ty Clevenger a filed a complaint against Montalvo, claiming the judge ordered a video be taken off the Internet in connection with the fatal beating of Hank Johnson in Hearne, Texas, in 2008.
Johnson's mother has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in the case, which had been transferred to Montalvo's court.
Clevenger is accusing Montalvo of misconduct for issuing an order with information from only one side and without a hearing or an opportunity to respond, according to the complaint filed with the 5th U.S. Court of Appeals.
Montalvo has turned down interviews.

Power Cables Destined For German Offshore Wind Farms Capsize At Sea
|in News Departments > New & Noteworthy
On July 3, power cables destined for offshore wind farms in Germany capsized in international waters about 50 nautical miles southwest of Sardinia, resulting in the loss of EUR 28 million.
Cable manufacturer Prysmian explains that a barge being towed by a tugboat flipped over - causing the barge's cargo and the rotating platform to sink to the ocean floor.
The incident occurred during the transport of cables destined for two offshore wind farms located off the coast of Bremerhaven, Germany. According to Prysmian, the cable was destined for the SylWin1 offshore grid connection, which will connect the 288 MW Butendiek and 210 MW Deutsche Bucht wind farms, when completed. Prysmian and grid operator TenneT say they are working to avoid consequences that may affect the project's timetable.
The crew was not harmed in the incident, and Prysmian notes that "adequate insurance coverage" was in place at the time of the incident. Smit Salvage is currently handling the reclamation of the wreckage, notes the cable provider.

We Arrived!
We arrived in Johannesburg early Monday morning after two long days of traveling. We wanted to thank those of you who came to send us off on Saturday and also those who had been praying for our safe arrival. We are spending our first week in a lodge just a few minutes away from the church where we are learning Sesotho. Each day we spend 6 hours at the church learning Sesotho with our tutors who will also be our host families in Soweto. My tutor's name is Pinkie and her and I have been working one on one together all week. I am starting to catch on to most of the greetings but I am looking forward to a break from the constant stream of Sesotho words.
Each day we begin our classes with singing, which happens to be my favorite part of the day. We are trying to learn the words as well as the dance, which we are all still trying to master. We also have taught our hosts "Guide My Feet" and they have added dance steps to go along with it which makes it so much fun to sing. The people we are meeting here are amazing. They are all very dedicated to helping us learn Sesotho and are excited to take us to Soweto on Saturday.
Our evenings are usually spent relaxing, playing cards and finishing homework. It is amazing how close our group has gotten in this first week. Tomorrow is our last day of class and on Saturday we will be welcomed into our homes with a huge celebration. We continue to ask for prayers for the group as well as the families we will be staying with.

|A novel diagnostic test detects a low frequency of the hemicentin Gln5345Arg variant among Northern Irish age related macular degeneration patients.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15467524 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PURPOSE: Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common cause of severe vision loss. Identification of genes involved in AMD will facilitate early detection and ultimately help to identify pathways for treatment for this disorder. The A16,263G mutation in the HEMICENTIN-1 gene produces a non-conservative substitution of arginine for glutamine at codon 5345 which has been implicated in familial AMD. The aim of this study is to develop a rapid diagnostic assay for the detection of this mutation and to evaluate its frequency in a sample of AMD patients. METHODS: A primer probe set was designed from exon 104 of the HEMICENTIN-1 gene to differentiate between mutant and wild type alleles. A region spanning the mutation was amplified by PCR using a LightCycler (Roche Diagnostic). The mutation was then detected by melt curve analysis of the hybrid formed between the PCR product and a specific fluorescent probe. The frequency of the mutation within the Northern Ireland population was evaluated by assaying 508 affected AMD patients, 25 possibly affected and 163 controls. RESULTS: This assay clearly discriminates between the A16,263G mutant and wild type HEMICENTIN-1 alleles. The wild type sequence has a single base mismatch with the probe which decreases the stability of the hybrid, resulting in a lower TM (TM=51.27 degrees C) than that observed for the perfectly matched mutant allele (TM=59.9 degrees C). The mutant allele was detected in only one of the 696 subjects, an affected AMD patient. CONCLUSIONS: We describe a rapid assay for the genotyping of the Gln5345Arg mutation using real-time fluorescence PCR to facilitate rapid processing of samples through combined amplification and detection steps. These characteristics are suitable for a clinical setting where high throughput diagnostic procedures are required. The frequency of this mutation within the Northern Ireland population has been estimated at 0.2%, concurring with previous findings that this mutation is a rare variant associated with AMD. A rapid diagnostic assay will facilitate a reliable and convenient evaluation of the frequency of the Gln5345Arg mutation and its association with AMD within other populations.

Plus-size indie fashion
If you're a curvy lady, dressing well and creatively can be a byotch. Here's a Mookychick guide to online plus-size fashion for indie, gothic, retro and generally style-conscious voluptuous vixens…
Plus-size INDIE | Plus-size RETRO | Plus-size GOTH
If you have a plus-size alternative fashion store you think we should list here, let us know at mookychick @ yahoo.co.uk! Or tell us on the messageboard!
If you're a curvy lady, dressing creatively can be a byotch. Let's face it, while writing this article we were scouting around the internet for plus-size fashion we'd actually want to wear, and it made us want to punch someone. Preferably someone well-dressed. It made us want to mug them and steal their clothes.
Yep, when it came to decent online shopping for plus-size althernative fashion, style and choice was pretty thin on the ground. If you're over, say, size 16 or 18, you're going to have plenty of assets but you're not a Milan/Paris/Tokyo clothes horse. You haven't been rendered into an easily-dressable generic shape through starvation. Surely that doesn't mean you should be forced into the plus-size fashion section of department stores, where the clothes are all in cheery colours with sometimes barely more than a passing nod to style?
Skiing off-piste as a plus-size style goddess is hard work. There are plenty of bizarre fashion hidey-holes to find online, with plus-size fashion treasures lying within. But there are also a lot of sites that are either trying to sell you (A) department store plus size clothes in cheery colours or (B) plus-size lingerie. Which is nice, but a woman can't look like a Victorian harlot all day, tempting though it may seem. Sometimes she has to go out in public, wearing not just a really brilliant corset, but some clothes that are warm, dammit. And look nice. And look indie – or goth – or retro.
Is that too much to ask? One would hope not.
Without further ado, here is a small but perfectly-formed list of online stores catering to plus-size alternative fashion… and, based on your recommendations, may the list flourish and grow.
Plus-size Indie
Domino Dollhouse The classy polka dots and clean, bright colours with a touch of vintage let you know straight away that Domino Dollhouse is a classy affair when it comes to plus-size indie fashion attire. We especially love their 'Delectable Dress' collection and 'Make Out Circus' collection – the latter is somewhere between eighties dancewear and emo rock chick with a sophisiticated urban vibe. AND you can get red/black Harley Quinn leggings!
Indie Flame is a plus-size DIY fashion blog. It's great, because it scouts out plus-size indie fashion from etsy stores and other DIY indie style hangouts, and collates them all in one place for you to browse. Love it!
Just For Curvesspecializes in trendy women's plus size clothing and junior plus size clothing sizes 14-36.
Revamped Fashion's motto is "Extra curvy gals deserve fun clothes too!" They specialize in Plus size reconstructed/recycled/repurposed fashion and accessories. The owner and designer Frances says "I do not believe there is enough cool, fun, eclectic PLUS SIZE clothing out there for us!!"
Torrid has lots of snakeskin effect and leopard print and hey, everyone knows leopard print is a neutral. Some sexy, wearable items here.
Plus-size Vintage, Retro and Burlesque
Pandora's Choice is brilliant for any voluptuous vixen or alternative plus-size model. They do plus-size retro underwear (plus-size basques, corsets and more) and suspender accessories. Corsets went up to 34″ inch waists when we checked, and suspenders up to 40″.
Hey Viv's online vintage clothing store sells poodle skirts, crinolines and accessories for a fifties-inspired vintage look. It has a mix of vintage-style fashions (always in stock) and genuine vintage dresses, so it's a case of come and browse.
Candy Says has a plus-size vintage fashion section, but as it deals with genuine vintage, it may be low on stock from time to time.
Plus-size goth
Bulletproof Cupid do rather nice fifties and gothic gear that goes up to about a UK size 20. Whether you want to be Audrey Hepburn or Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl, they can probably help you dress the part. And at £40 for a Dolly Swing Coat, the price is right, too!
Dangerous-FX have gone very gothic over the years with lovely plus-size gothic jackets and a steampunk vibe, along with the vintage-style wear. Worth a look!

text: Japan: China Violated Our Airspace Chinese plane approached disputed islands By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Dec 13, 2012 8:53 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (33) (Newser) – Japan says a Chinese government plane violated its airspace by soaring too close to the disputed islands known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. Japan scrambled eight fighter jets and complained to Beijing in response, a Japanese spokesman says. It's the first time a Chinese government aircraft has intruded on Japanese airspace since records began in 1958, according to Japan's defense ministry. The plane's intrusion comes the same day Chinese surveillance ships were reported in the vicinity, the spokesman said. China's foreign ministry says the flight path was "completely normal." "The Diaoyu islands and affiliated islands are part of China's inherent territory," says an official. "The Chinese side calls on Japan to halt all entries into water and airspace around the islands." The flight may have been a provocative effort in the continuing feud, or it may have been symbolic, the BBC notes: Seventy-five years ago today, Japan began killing tens of thousands of Chinese civilians in the Nanjing massacre. In this photo released by Japanese officials, a Chinese airplane flies above the islands Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012.

SOCHI, Russia – It's time to come clean on how this column came to life in the Sun-News. About a week before leaving for the Olympics, it hit me: "How am I going to communicate with my mom?"
My mom, Ruth King, chooses not to have email, doesn't like to answer the phone after 8 a.m. and gets her mail when she feels like it. I hope to be just like her when I retire. But that left me in a bit of a bind.
You see, my mom is my hero. I call her every morning at 7:40 on my drive to work. She always answers the phone "Stellie, is that you?" She is my first laugh of the day, guaranteed. So being 11 hours away in Russia presented a problem. My solution was the Sun-News.
I contacted Teddy Feinberg and offered to write this column with the sole purpose of landing in my mother's driveway twice a week. He graciously accepted, and here we are. Pretty clever, right? But imagine my surprise when emails from all over Las Cruces started filling my inbox. Many were kind words about the column, but several were from people who influenced my life.
Mike and Lois Hart, our first neighbors in New Mexico, last saw me as a tomboy playing in the field with my dog and burro. Their son, Justin, just turned 43. He was 5 years old when we moved next door on San Ysidro Road, the same age as my son, Kai. Funny how time passes.
Becky (Spray) Coppedge, my best friend at Court Junior High and Mayfield, dropped me a fun note, including this line: "You will be frightened to know I still have some samples of your work at the [Mayfield] Marauder in my closet." If only Ms. Coppedge's students at Mesilla Valley Christian School knew what she was like as a kid! They are very lucky to have her in the classroom.
My first coach at Mayfield, Elaine Tilghman, touched base: "I always appreciated and admired your drive and grit on the volleyball court at MHS and so glad to see it in you as an adult!" Little does she know that she is the one who taught me that being a team player is more important than being the best player. That's a lesson I still carry today.
But the email that moved me most was from Alice Cox. The subject line read: "Proud of you Barb."
After my mom, Alice Cox and the late Mary Taylor are a big reason why I'm in Sochi.
Mrs. Taylor and Alice (to this day I don't know why I never called her Mrs. Cox!) recognized a dire need for girls to have a league of their own and in 1974 founded the Las Cruces Youth Softball Association. My mom spotted a short story in the Sun-News and signed me up for an Under 12 team.
I was assigned to play for "The Great Gatsbys," an inauspicious team name if there ever was one. Our young volunteer coach chose the name because she really liked the Robert Redford movie. She also liked halter tops, and made them our team uniform. When the LCYSA explained we needed jerseys with numbers on the back, she bought 12 matching T-shirts that all had the same number – 18 – on the back.
I am not making this up.
Growing up on the wind-blown softball fields of Las Cruces formed who I am today, and I don't say this lightly. From the strawberries on my sliding legs to the grass stains on my chest, I discovered I truly love to compete and be part of a team. As a youth umpire, I learned how my actions affect others and that sometimes admitting "Yep, I missed that call" is better than always believing I'm right. (Thank you, Joe Peckumn.) As the Maag Park umpire and scorekeeper coordinator, I learned how to manage people and make schedules.
And thank God I was good at catching and throwing a softball! Those skills landed me a scholarship at NMSU at a time when my family was not in a position to help pay for college.
That's what a community can do for one 12-year-old girl who otherwise would have kept playing with her dog and burro in the field on hot summer days. And it all started with Alice Cox and Mary Taylor.
Alice's email really touched my heart. "It always makes me so proud when I see young ladies that started out in Las Cruces Youth Softball advance their career to unbelievable heights," she wrote.
In the dark hours of Tuesday morning, I will board a flight out of Sochi. I will take so many memories with me, from being the first to hold Meryl Davis and Charlie White's gold medals in the rain to laughing with soccer superstar Julie Foudy in a makeshift karaoke bar. Stories, I have a few.
And Wednesday morning at 7:40, I'll start to share them all with my mom.
Thank you for reading.

HANGU: Six armed militants bullied shopkeepers selling women garments and cosmetics in the Singair Bazaar in Hangu on Monday threatening them to remove curtains from the doors of the shops or face action.
Sources said the militants riding motorbikes and wielding lashes reached the market after the Zuhr prayers and instructed the garment merchants to remove the blinds from shops. The traders often hang curtains at the shops' entrance so that purdah-observing women shoppers aren't disturbed with stares of men loitering nearby.
The sources said certain shopkeepers were whipped by the militants with the lashes they were holding in their hands and they also vandalized the cosmetics shops.Eyewitness reports said the militants remained in the market for more than 20 minutes and then left on their motorbikes hurling threats at the merchants.
When the District Police Officer (DPO) Dr Saeed Ahmad was contacted, he confirmed the incident and said the brother and father of one of the accused had been arrested. He added the shopkeepers did not report the incident in time to the police due to the fear of militants. However, he said the police would not allow any group to terrorize the residents or challenge the writ of the state in Hangu.

Hi there,
I'm going to visit laos this year and I'm very interested in traditional kung fu and massage.
Is the classic thai massage (think its called nuad sen) also present in laos? and is there any way to LEARN it. finding place where you receive a massage should be very easy, but i want to learn it. :)
The same purpose on Kung fu. I'm practicing Thai Kung fu (not muay thai) for 2 years now and would be happy to see it in laos. Is thai kung fu also common in laos? are they have their own martial ARTs?
thanks in advance!
best regards

Carlos Delgado, who had an impressive evening last night, is now batting .242, with 13 home runs and 47 runs batted in. In his career, Delgado has traditionally had more impressive offensive statistics in the second half of the season than in the first half. With just a very minor increase in his offensive production in the second half of this season, Delgado will end up with a batting average in the .250s, about 30 home runs, and about 100 rbis.
Now I don't know about you, but when I was growing up, I was taught that one should not show disrespect to baseball players who hit 30 home runs in a season and drove in 100 runs. Of course, the Mets did not have players like this when I was growing up and they wouldn't have any such players until the middle of the 1980s. But if they had had players like this when I was growing up, it would not have been considered proper for me to be disappointed in them.
I am not disappointed in Carlos Delgado. What is it with everybody else?
Well, people are saying that he is not hitting as well as he did last year. Last year, he ended up hitting .265, with 38 home runs and 114 rbis. He had a good year. That 38 was one of his highest homer totals ever. Players have good years and one of the reasons we call their good years good years is that the season that comes after the good year will probably not be quite as good as what we are calling the good year. If next seasons tended to be better than what we call good seasons, then we would not call them good seasons. We would call them off years, or even bad years.
Have you looked at the team offensive statistics lately for this season and last season? Right now, the Mets have hit 86 home runs. They are sixth in the league and the median home run total for teams in the National League is 80. Last year, at the end of the season, the median team home run total was 170. The Mets hit 200, 4th in the league. These numbers suggest that the number of home runs hit by the National League is down by about 12%. So if you want to compare anyone's offensive statistics this year with their statistics last year, you have to make an adjustment. If you knocked Carlos Delgado's homer and rbi totals for last year down by 12%, you would get 33 home runs and 104 rbis. That's pretty much where he is likely to end up. But what about batting average, you say? Well, if Delgado ends up hitting .255 and you know perfectly well that he could hit higher than that, that would be just ten points lower than what he hit last year. One hit per 100 at bats. Thank you for noticing.
Still, you whine, he doesn't look at ease up there! Yeah, like you know. There's something wrong with his swing! Maybe, but there have been an awful lot of games in which there doesn't look as if there's anything wrong with his swing.
I don't suppose that there could be anything wrong with your expectations?
Look, most division-winning teams win between 90-95 games. Teams that win 90-95 games have a lot of flaws, unlike teams that win 108 games, like the 1986 Mets. Baseball fans, I think, have a tendency to forget about those flaws once the team has won its division, even though they are obsessed by the flaws when the season is actually happening. Look over the statistics for the 2006 Mets. Do you remember how incredibly weak the starting pitching was in the second half? Do you remember how weak we were against lefties? Well, maybe you do. It wasn't so long ago. But you've repressed it to some degree. You are doing the retrospective idealization thing so that you can complain about the flaws of the current team because you're afraid that the current team isn't going to win it. This is natural human behavior. But for someone like me, who gets no intrinsic joy from complaining, this is very annoying.
Still, you may say that you think that something could have and should have been done about these flaws during the offseason. What? I am still waiting for someone to come up with the thing that Omar should have done that he didn't do that would have made the difference. And even if you come up with such a thing, please remember that on April 1, we really had no way of knowing what the flaws of this particular team would be. Make a list of the ten things that have happened this year that you could not have predicted.
You see what I mean? Bear with them. Calm down. Cheer real loud. You don't have to be complacent, but it may be better to be complacent than to be a whiny pain in the ass. The cavalry is probably not on its way and we will look really stupid if we behave as if we think that it is. Suzyn Waldman learned this the hard way. A great righty bat and another John Maine are not going to fall into our laps at this point. We're probably stuck with this crew. But they can win a division. You know they can. They can certainly win this one, probably with not much more than 90 games, 7 more than last year's World Champs. I know it's well past a cliché by this point. But Believe.

Trelleborg Launches New Printing Insights Survey
Posted: 9/17/2013 | By: Press Release | Trelleborg
Trelleborg has launched its second annual Printing Insights research survey to highlight key challenges and identify current print industry trends, including purchasing decisions and maintenance requirements.
Aiming to gather insights from hundreds of senior industry stakeholders in the U.K. and U.S., the independent survey explores the operational, commercial and environmental pressures on senior decision makers in the printing sector.
Paolo Gagliardi, Commercial Director EMEA / APAC at Trelleborg's Printing Solutions business, commented: "The Printing Insights survey attempts to reveal stakeholders' perceptions on a range of issues pertinent to the print industry, highlighting the trends and issues that are due to set the agenda for the next year.
"With the challenging economic climate continuing to influence the printing industry, it's interesting to see if there are any changes in attitudes from owners, managing directors, production directors and pressroom managers towards investment. We're also exploring whether the industry is overcoming operational challenges such as press downtime, the importance of whole life costs, the appreciation of sustainability and whether a 'one size fits all' approach to blanket specification persists."
The survey will gather responses from a range of print professionals, including owners, managing directors, production directors and pressroom managers, and span a range of different sectors, from sheet-fed commercial litho and digital, to newspapers and packaging.

Seven - The Stylish New Way to Sleep in Bangkok
Joined Travelfish
5th March, 2009
Posts: 2
Address 3/15 Soi Sawasdee 1, Sukhumvit 31, Bangkok, Thailand
Tel +66 (02) 662 0951
Fax +66 (02) 662 3344
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
website: www.sleepatseven.com
Seven was born of a partnership between its proprietor Pylin Jane Sanguanpiyapand and her inspirational design team - legendary UK design firm Studio Output, renowned young Thai interior designer/architect Komsuree Komintre and award-winning Thai landscape designer Piyachanok Wijarn (spearhead of Cindy Crawford's residence in Malibu and Leonardo DiCaprio's boutique hotel in Belize).
Seven is inspired by ancient Thai art and the deep-rooted Thai tradition of relating each day of the week to a specific god of the planets, as in ancient Indian astrology, each of which has a particular colour:
Sunday is red for the Sun god Phra Arthit.
Monday is yellow for the Moon god Phra Charn.
Tuesday is pink for the Mars god Phra Angkarn.
Wednesday is green for the Mercury god Phra Phut.
Thursday is orange for the Jupiter god Phra Pareuhat.
Friday is blue for the Venus god Phra Suk.
Saturday is purple for the Saturn god Phra Sao.
Formerly a plain old townhouse, Seven was immaculately renovated and redeveloped with a uniquely Thai concept by its young proprietor, Pylin Jane Sanguanpiyapand, and her inspirational design team into a haven for the privileged few, with just six couture rooms on four levels. Seven simply epitomizes the feeling of a stylish private home rather than a hotel.
The multi-purposed 'Seventh Space' - reception / gallery / bar / library and each of the six guestrooms are designed around the hotel's main concept - seven different colours for seven days of the week: red, yellow, pink, green, orange, blue and purple. Each is an individual piece of art with striking specially-commissioned murals inspired by traditional Thai arts against the backdrop of minimalist furniture and reclaimed antique hardwood floor.
Seven's 'Seventh Space', the Red reception area also serves as a bar (aptly named 7th Heaven); a gallery displaying Asian based artists; and a library, and is undoubtedly the hotel's focal point with red painted wall and a fiery custom designed mural. The design is perfectly complemented by cool polished concrete and dark wood furniture. The ultra comfortable sink-in communal table invites a flow of conversation between Seven's exclusive guests (especially after a signature cocktail or two!).
The Serenity Terrace, just above the lobby, and the Sun Deck on the rooftop make Seven a true oasis in bustling Bangkok. They are ideal places to relax, read a book and chat with friends while sipping a glass of chilled white wine.
Seven Team aims to make our guests' stay at Seven an extraordinary one. Our services include:
• 24-hour concierge
• Laundry
• Limousine
• Private tour arrangement
• Turndown service
Seven's six couture rooms are named in colours associated with different days of the week from Monday through Saturday (Yellow, Pink, Green, Orange, Blue and Purple):
The Yellow Room
Size: 22 sq.m
Bed Size: King or Twin
The Pink Room
Size: 26 sq.m
Bed Size: King
The Green Room
Size: 22 sq.m
The Orange Room
Size: 20 sq.m
Bed Size: King or Twin
The Blue Room
Size: 26 sq.m
Bed Size: King
The Purple Room
Size: 26 sq.m
Bed Size: King
Each room is individually designed and decorated in a lively, cutting edge style. Beside ancient Thai art-insprired custom designed murals, the rooms are beautifully enhanced with a combination of extra wide reclaimed antique hardwood flooring; white minimalist furniture; and ultra swish bathrooms which come with walk-in 'raindance' shower, custom-built sink and glossy epoxy flooring.
All has a private balcony and is equipped with modern comforts that create a perfect haven for guests —a true home-away-from-home with a twist:
• King-sized and twin beds
• Complimentary mobile phone with sim-card
• Complimentary wireless high-speed internet access
• 300 thread-count luxury linen
• Pillow menu: choose from goosedown or down-like (for side, stomach and back sleepers) – to help you sleep better
• Goosedown duvet
• Seventh HeavenTM bed
• Telephone with free local calls
• Independent air conditioning
• Wall mounted LCD television with cable
• DVD player and DVD library
• iPOD/CD/MP3 docking station – charge, sleep and wake to music of your choice
• In-room safe deposit box
• En-suite bathroom with walk-in "raindance" shower
• Hairdryer
• Luxurious organic bathroom amenities by local company Earth Factory
• Complimentary Thai herbal tea and fruit basket
• Bangkok 101, the city's premier visitor magazine, help you make the most of your time in Bangkok.
Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac for much needed (but rarely found) tranquility in the heart of Bangkok, Seven is at the same time just five minutes' walk from Phrom Phong BTS Skytrain station, or ten minutes' walk from Asok BTS Skytrain station and Sukhumvit underground MRT station. This affords not only easy access to all the traditionalist tourist sights, but also means guests will be staying in one of the most fashionable and happening parts of town. The Sukhumvit area is home to an endless variety of art galleries, bars, boutiques, hi-end shopping malls and fine restaurants.

Designers handbags carry clout with signature style
A designer handbag holds more than a woman's wallet, keys and makeup.
It carries clout, status and prestige.
"People know when you are carrying a designer handbag," says Sandra Reiman, a native of Colombia who lives in Regent Square and is founder and president of Sandra Cadavid handbags crafted from fine leathers. "They become statement pieces."
Designer handbags and shoes tend to be more easily identified than clothing.
"Owning a great bag is irreplaceable," Reiman says. "And, no matter what outfit you put on, it will make you feel like a million bucks."
Leather gets better with age, says Reiman, whose bags are sold online (www.sandracadavid.com) and at Victoria, a Fox Chapel boutique. Items in her collections sell for $195 to $575.
Some women invest in a luxury statement bag and carry it year after year, says Kimberly Coppola, who co-owns Serendipity, a Downtown boutique, with her husband Peter. A high-end handbag will last a lifetime if you take care of it, she says. She suggests a top-handle version because "it adds sass and sophistication."
"There are women who save and save and save to be able to afford that coveted bag," she says.
Liz Kane, director of advertising and public relations for Dooney & Bourke, agrees.
"A high-end handbag not only makes a fashion statement, it tells the world that the owner has great taste and is smart enough to invest her money wisely," Kane says. "It is always smarter to buy one high-quality bag in a classic style that can be carried for many seasons, instead of several cheap bags that need to be replaced every season.
"Unlike clothes or jewelry, (a handbag) can be worn every day and add a chic update to every look."
High-quality materials and expert craftsmanship are the hallmarks of high-end purses.
"In addition to making an important status statement, a designer handbag will go with everything," says Gregg Andrews, Nordstrom fashion director. "Women of all ages love designer bags, because they convey a certain level of prestige.
"Women have emotional connections to items," Andrews says. "And a handbag can be something that has traveled with them through many of life's moments."
Shoppers don't necessarily have to spend a lot of money to own a high-quality bag, because there are many more options today, says Gwendolyn Covington, a style editor for zappos.com.
"It used to be that you had to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a designer bag to be on trend, but now, if you are willing to sacrifice exotic skins or luxe leather, you can get the same style of bag at one-third of the designer price point," Covington says. "Today, online shopping through websites like zappos.com and amazon.com offer a department-store experience online and have tons of handbag designers to choose from at any price point."
Thrift, vintage or consignment shopping is a trendy resource to get great, authentic second-hand bags, Covington says. Because they usually last a long time, they most likely will be in good shape.
When it comes to handbag popularity, there are two groups to consider, Covington says. The first being the mass shoppers who prefer classic brands like Michael Michael Kors, Cole Haan, Coach and Dooney & Bourke. They offer the latest trends each season, are easy for shoppers to find, and they are at a reasonable price point for quality materials, Covington says.
The second group would be the fashion insiders group — editors, fashion industry people, hipsters, fashionistas and bloggers. This crowd seeks out cutting-edge designers like Foley & Corinna, Rebecca Minkoff and BCBGMaxAzria.
"The price points are often higher, but the quality is ultra luxe, and these bags are often sure head-turners on the streets and are fashion-cult favorites," Covington says.
Owning a designer handbag is part of being accomplished, says Amber Herring, accessories editor for Self magazine.
"It is also an investment in something that will stand the test of time," she says. "A leather handbag is the way to go, and most of these designers pay such attention to detail. And you can see the bag is not mass-produced for the most part. There is something special about buying something that you can use for a lifetime if you take care of it."

The next themed show starts Monday. For this show, the gallery asked artists to come up with pieces focusing on the theme "Blue." The show will mark the first of six themed shows this year.
A reception for the show is scheduled from 5 to 9 p.m. on April 12 at the gallery, 302 E. Main St. It will take place in conjunction with the annual Spring Art Walk.
Bev Taylor, the gallery's owner, said artists have submitted altered books, paintings, origami and pottery, as well as various other mediums.
Taylor's daughter, Terra Churchhill, submitted an origami piece with 30 to 50 folded birds. Taylor said it took Churchhill a few weeks to complete the piece.
Taylor also has art in the show. She will multimedia piece is part of a series she's making entitled Random Links. The artwork is made using painted, rolled-up paper, fibers, beads and painted sticks.
Taylor studied art history in college and taught art. In 1995, after finishing her teaching career, she opened 16 studios and later, in 1999, she opened Artifacts Gallery. The studio space is still available for rent.
Before each show, Taylor sends out a call to artists to announce the show's theme. One of her favorite themed shows is the October decorated bra show. She said the pieces submitted are always unique and surprising.
In addition to the themed show, the gallery is also taking part in the People's Choice Art Exhibit. People's Choice is an exhibit that allows community members to vote on their favorite artwork. Artifacts Gallery is one of the downtown businesses displaying several pieces of artwork.
The next themed show, Layers, will start in June.

DETROIT (AP) — A California man who tenants say was trying to make things better in a struggling city was killed outside the Detroit apartment building he owned during a dispute with a woman over unpaid rent.
Authorities said Greg McNichols, 45, was fatally shot Saturday outside the 10-unit complex on the east side of the city.
Tenant Florida Benton said she saw McNichols arguing with the woman over her refusal to pay, and he told her she had to leave. Benton said a sport utility vehicle pulled up, and a man jumped out and shot McNichols before driving away. Police said the gunman remains at large.
"The man never said a word," Benton told The Detroit News for a story Monday. "It went from an argument to a murder in just a few seconds."
McNichols lived in California but kept an apartment in the building since buying the property in February. He was fixing up the complex, which had been a "rat trap," Benton said, and planned to buy an empty lot across the street and install picnic tables.
Another tenant, Larry Brock, said he and McNichols worked together on renovations.
"I don't know what we're going to do now," Brock said. "I don't know if (McNichols') wife will want to keep this place or sell it."
Benton said she used to tease the Australian-born McNichols about his accent and "turned him on to soul food." She was impressed that he wanted to invest in Detroit "the right way."
"You finally get someone to come into this city and try to do something nice, and this is what you get," Benton said. "This man was trying to make things better, and he ends up being another murder victim."

potato chip
Anyone who has ever wolfed his way through a stack of Pringles chips can relate to this shape, better known to the geometry world as a hyperbolic paraboloid. To categorize the appearance of this shape in the world of identity, we'll call it a potato chip, as the form of each instance tends to vary a bit, much like the chips in a bag. Flattened out, most of these shapes would look like a circle or an ellipse, but with a gentle twist they occupy a uniquely three-dimensional space.
The shift to a greater use of surface gradient to define shape is critical to the success of these images: If viewed with just a flat tone, they would appear as the twisted loop of an infinity sign. There is a certain tension that permeates these marks, as if releasing torque would allow the shape to relax back into a flat disk. Flexibility and elasticity come to mind as defining attributes. Being able to simultaneously show both sides of an otherwise two-dimensional shape brings forth even more conceptual opportunities (as well as an excellent bar bet).

Business Leaders for Michigan (BLM), the state's business roundtable, is an organization dedicated to making Michigan a "Top Ten" state for job, personal income and a healthy economy. The organization is composed exclusively of the chairpersons, chief executives or most senior executives of the state's largest job providers and universities. Together, our members power nearly one-quarter of the state's economy and educate nearly one-half of the state's university students. Our members are the economic engine that helps keep Michigan moving.
Our organization's roots are in Detroit. First founded in the 1970s, BLM existed for decades as southeast Michigan-based Detroit Renaissance, a regionally-based business roundtable. Given the economic challenges experienced by the State of Michigan as a whole, however, our expansion to a statewide organization in 2009 was natural. We now emphasize the development and expansion of jobs, and economic growth across the entire state.
Legacy Initiatives
In 2010, progress was also made on three legacy initiatives from the former Detroit Renaissance's "Road to Renaissance" program:
- Legislation was enacted that provided special incentives to help accelerate the development of the Detroit Region Aerotropolis —the largest economic development collaboration in the state. In the long term, it is projected to attract more than 60,000 jobs to the region and more than $10 billion of additional annual economic activity and production with an aggressive business attraction effort.
- Championed the work of the Detroit Creative Corridor Center, an initiative designed to increase the concentration of creative economy workers and businesses in downtown Detroit.
- Continued support of the Detroit News Hub, a collaborative media relations department for the Detroit region developed to communicate under-reported information.

It goes against the nature of marathon runners to stop before they reach the finish line.
So after last year�s aborted Cellcom Green Bay Marathon, competitors are anxious to go the distance in Sunday�s event.
�Oh, I�m ready,� said Trisha Sellen of Green Bay, who will be running in her third Cellcom.
Picking up her registration materials on Saturday, Sellen said she hopes for comfortable conditions and a smooth event to make up for last year�s disappointment.
�Last year was a bummer,� she said. �I�m pretty excited to do it over again.�
The 26.2-mile marathon was canceled in mid-race last year amid hot and humid conditions that sent 18 competitors to the hospital and caused dozens of others to become ill.
To guard against such problems Sunday, organizers will station more medical personnel along the race route and take other precautions. It also helps that weather forecasters are predicting much milder temperatures than the 80-degree-plus heat that wreaked havoc a year ago.
�It should be perfect,� said Will Phillips of Manistique, Mich., also a three-time Cellcom competitor.
Runners arrived in a steady stream Saturday inside Lambeau Field to pick up their registrations and bib assignments. The race kicks off at 7 a.m. Sunday, with an estimated 7,000 runners registered for either the full marathon or half marathon.
Kikuji Yanagihashi, 57, of Fond du Lac, said age has slowed him somewhat, but he still enjoys the camaraderie and the spirit of competition. He will be running in his fifth Cellcom Sunday.
�Look at everybody: They seem stronger than me,� he said. �My goal is to just finish.�
Confusion and disappointment were widespread last year when organizers canceled the race about two hours after it had started. Some runners finished, but others encountered barricades or crossed the finish line only to discover that their times had not been recorded.
Don Nack of Plover, who ran in his first Cellcom last year, is returning Sundaywith high hopes.
�I couldn�t finish last year,� he said, �so this is kind of like closing a chapter that�s still open.�
The Cellcom marathon, now in its 14th year, is the second largest full marathon in Wisconsin, behind the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon.
Over the past 13 years, the event has raised more than $600,000 for local charities through runner registration fees. This year�s event will benefit Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Northeastern Wisconsin, Junior Achievement of Wisconsin in Brown County, and Unity hospice services.
Conditions were cool and breezy Saturday as hundreds of runners turned out for a 5K and a kids run � both precursors to Sunday�smain event.
More than 3,700 adult and child runners lined up for the Cellcom Green Bay 5K run/walk, which started outside Lambeau but led participants to a finish line inside the historic football stadium. The stadium�s interior was off-limits last year because of renovation work.
For Scott Whitman of Manistique, Mich., his first Cellcom 5K was all about getting to run inside Lambeau.
�I�m a Packer fan,� he said, �and I�ve got to get out there, through the tunnel and onto the field.�
Many runners were entering their first 5K of any kind. Some felt trepidation about the 3.1-mile test of endurance.
Kristi Rolbiecki of Green Bay said it would be the start of a new healthier lifestyle for her.
�It was time to get off the couch,� she said.
Children competed with groups from school, or some paired up with their mothers or fathers.
Steve Gatewood of Green Bay ran alongside his 10-year-old son, Max. It was not the first 5K for either of them, and they were looking forward to a little playful competition with each other.
�I�m feeling pretty good,� Steve said. �I don�t know that he�s going to be able to keep up with me.�

People, my interest feels so aroused this week with a need to blog (I'll take it, the interest was certainly, er, waning.)! Aroused – a toss to the 'ole romance reading I used to do more often. Just kidding. Well, maybe I'm serious. Anyway.
Know what I did last night? You don't? That's good. It keeps the police away. Well, lemme tell you: I went searching specifically for an old Johanna Lindsey guilty pleasure chortle I-Do-Declare you rat bastard explicative read on my trusty shelves. And that, my friends, is Secret Fire.
You know, Secret Fire! The one where the Russian prince tells his manservant bouncer dude to Bring me a woman, I must needs screw! And so it was and they kidnapped unto themselves a young English miss, drugged her for You Know What, totally didn't beliefs she was nobility (cuz the working class, the only service they provide is kidnapping stock, ya know – and they deserves it), caned her – yeah – mother f-ing CANED her, drugged her again for More You Know What and then she and her prince lived Happily Ever After. Also, at times, the prince was SAWY.
YEAH. It's awesome. It's such a great guilty pleasure read. I glanced through it from beginning to end and practiced all my gasps of disbelief and I Do Declares and outraged eyebrows and Hahas STOOPID PRINCE-Y, take that, she showed you with her silence and easy capitulating and free evaluation of your finances! For this you must gives her pleasures. Wink.
What guilty pleasure read is on your shelf? I looked for my other Johanna Lindsey guilty pleasure reads, specifically that one about that Viking who kidnaps….OH. I see the pattern now. But back to you: What are your guilty pleasure reads? It doesn't have to be romance. Just fess up. There's even a NEW POLL over yonder on the upper right! *clappity*

Rumors reignite of Apple investing in Toshiba for displays
updated 11:30 pm EDT, Tue April 19, 2011
Apple rumored once more investing in Toshiba LCDs
Talk of Apple purportedly investing in Toshiba's display production flared up again after a new claim from Japan's Nikkan Kogyo claimed a plan was still underway. Toshiba had reportedly been in a fierce competition with Sharp that had seen both invest about $1.21 billion in factories that would produce screens for future iPhones. Toshiba had won after Apple decided to concentrate its Japanese efforts, according to the paper.
It was implied that some production would be outside of Japan as Apple was hoping to avoid too much dependence on one country by using both Sharp and Toshiba. The Tohoku area earthquake may have been an influential factor by revealing the possible consequences of major problems with suppliers.
Sharp publicly claimed the story wasn't accurate and demanded the paper retract the story. It wasn't clear how much was correct. Neither Apple nor Toshiba is known to have responded to the article.
Most of the supporting evidence has come from Apple's public acknowledgment that it was making a new long-term investment similar to the one it made in flash memory in 2005. Analysts and other observers have suspected it might be for displays to drive economies of scale and guarantee supply for iPhones, iPods and possibly iPads. Without proof of their own, however, little is known about the real intentions.
Sharp has already developed a reputation for mobile device screens and already has a 3.5-inch, 640x960 display very close to the one used in the iPhone 4. Toshiba is known for its TVs but hasn't usually been revolutionary in handheld devices.
