MLB League News: 7 Pitching Staffs to Watch
Washington Nationals pitchers at spring training 2012
The 2012 baseball season saw a continued return of good pitching to MLB. In recent years, fans have seen the return of no hitters, perfect games and 20 game winners. Pitchers such as C.C. Sabathia and Justin Verlander have dominated games in the post season. It is nice to see the game get back to what it was before muscled up behemoths began blasting baseballs over the fence in record numbers.
In 2013, fans of the game can look forward to seeing more solid pitching from talented staffs in both the AL and NL. While there may not be anything close to the five aces that the Atlanta Braves boasted during the 1990's, there will be plenty of teams worth watching.
Some of the teams on this list bring championship pedigree. They are worth watching to see how long they can sustain their place at the top. The longer they win, the greater their place in baseball history will be. Fans remember the great Baltimore Orioles pitching staffs from 1966 to 1983, because they won year after year.
Others will be worth watching, because they have not reached their peak. These staffs have a ton of potential and only time will tell if they fulfill it. One might boast a 20 year old phenom next season that could be the talk of baseball.
Then, there are those with question marks. One team will have an ace returning from suspension. Another has an international player who came in with a lot of fanfare, proved his worth and will have to do it again. Two have pitchers that took different routes in recovering from Tommy John surgery and are expected to be at full strength in 2013.
Here are seven MLB pitching staffs that will be worth watching in 2013. Fortunately, some of us have teams nearby in each league and we can see them all.
7. Cincinnati Reds
The Reds made it to post season play for the second time in three years. They won 97 games and the NL Central title. Then, Cincinnati lost to the San Francisco Giants in an NL Divisional Series and had to start all over again.
Fortunately, Cincinnati has a pitching staff that is the best in their division and one of the best in baseball.
The leader of the group is Johnny Cueto. He went 19-9 last season and was a candidate for the NL Cy Young Award. Though it won't be easy to repeat those numbers, if Cueto can stay healthy, the Reds can look for another big year from him.
Cueto is not alone. He has help in Mat Latos who finished 14-4 and Homer Bailey, winner of 13. Bailey threw a no hitter in his last start of 2012.
With Cueto, Latos and Bailey in tow, Cincinnati is in good shape. They will need every one of those arms to stay competitive in the tough National League.
6. San Francisco Giants
The Giants won their second World Series in three years. One of the biggest reasons was their pitching staff. It came through big time in the post season as men thought to be liabilities turned into October stars. This in no way means San Francisco doesn't have question marks going into next year.
The first is whether Tim Lincecum will ever return to the form he showed in 2008 and 2009. Lincecum struggled so much last season that he was moved to the bullpen in the playoffs. When called upon, Lincecum came through and the Giants hope that this may be a springboard for next season.
Barry Zito surprised many by winning 15 games last year. He followed that up with solid performances in October. The question for next season is whether or not Zito can do it again.
The one man that San Francisco should be able to rely on is Matt Cain. He went 16-5 and threw a perfect game with 14 strikeouts against the Houston Astros.
With two world championships in three years, the Giants staff is pitching for their place in history now. With them, it is a case of how long can they sustain their success and who will be a part of it?
As long as San Francisco continues to pitch in October, their staff will etch its place in baseball history and be worth watching every season.
5. Texas Rangers
The staff which is judged by one of the greatest pitchers of all time every year came up short when it mattered most in 2012. Texas pitchers could not get it done as part owner Nolan Ryan watched them blow a three game lead in the last days of the season and lose the AL West. The Rangers were eliminated by the Baltimore Orioles in the first ever AL wildcard game.
Still, the Rangers will be worth watching in 2013. Despite losing the pennant, Texas boasted an 18 game winner in Matt Harrison. Derek Holland had a solid season. And Yu Darvish won 16 games in his first Major League season. If each of these pitchers can raise their games just a notch, the Rangers may finally win the World Series which has eluded them the last three seasons.
Texas will be worth watching for Darvish alone. After coming in with much fanfare, he proved his worth and will have to do it again next year. If he does, the Rangers will not collapse like a house of cards.
4. Oakland Athletics
Fans of bay area baseball have a lot to look forward to in 2013. The A's were one of the best teams in baseball from July to October. Oakland made up a 12 game deficit to catch the Texas Rangers and win the AL West.
The A's did this despite not having a single pitcher win 15 games. Tommy Milone and Jarrod Parker led the staff with 13 wins apiece.
But the story of 2013 for Oakland will be the comeback from suspension of Bartolo Colon. Colon was suspended 50 games after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs. It was a major blow to the A's post season chances and there were some who thought Oakland would not resign Colon. General Manager Billy Beane showed that all is forgiven and gave Colon a one year contract for $3 million.
Now, Colon has to put 2012 behind him and help the A's win in 2013. The past is gone and all he can do is focus on the present. No matter what people may say or think, Colon has a clean slate and his record will be 0-0 on opening day just like everyone else.
If Colon can stay healthy (he will turn 40 in May) and pitch well, he will earn a measure of redemption from Oakland players and fans.
How his performance affects Oakland's staff will be worth watching next season.
3. Atlanta Braves
The Braves have been known for having quality pitching. Though they have not been as dominant as their pennant winning teams of the 1990's, Atlanta is slowly building a top notch staff. The Braves ranked fourth in the NL with a team ERA of 3.42. The staff was led by 36 year old Tim Hudson who went 16-7.
The key to Atlanta's staff taking the next step and staying with NL East rival Washington is right hander Kris Medlin. Medlin came back from Tommy John surgery in 2012 and was used sparingly so that he would be available for the post season. He finished the season with a record of 10-1 in 12 starts. Medlin will be expected to pitch a full season next year and the Braves hope that he can get close to doubling his win total of last year.
If Medlin lives up to his potential and the rest of Atlanta's staff remains consistent, the battle for NL East supremacy with Washington and the Philadelphia Phillies will be a heated one.
2. Washington Nationals
In the past three seasons, Washington has put together a staff with potential to win for a long time. It was good enough to lead the Nationals to 98 wins in 2012 and hopes to improve on that total next season.
Washington will go into 2013 with a 20 game winner in left hander Gio Gonzalez. Unfortunately, those 20 wins will not count next season so he will have to do it again.
However, Gonzalez should have more help as the Nationals hope to get a full season out of Stephen Strasburg. Coming off of 2010 Tommy John surgery, he won 15 games last year before being shut down after pitching 160 innings. If Strasburg and Gonzalez are on their games, Washington could have two 20 game winners.
Dan Haren was signed as a free agent to replace Edwin Jackson and the Nationals hope that he returns to his All-Star form of 2007 to 2009. Washington feels confident that Jordan Zimmerman and Ross Detwiler will be better than they were in 2012.
If the Nationals put it together in 2013, they could have the best pitching staff in baseball.
1. Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles won 93 games and a wildcard spot despite not having a single pitcher win more than 12 games. It was starter by committee as only Wei-Yen Chen started more than 20 games. Chen was the only Baltimore pitcher with more than 10 wins as he led the staff with 12.
However, what will make the Orioles interesting is the development of 20 year old phenom Dylan Bundy. If Bundy joins the rotation and pitches the way he did in the minors, Baltimore may finally have the ace they've been looking for since losing Mike Mussina to the New York Yankees in 2001.
The fourth over all pick in 2011, Bundy went 9-3 at three minor league stops in 2012. His ERA was 2.08. The Orioles called him up in September and he made a couple of appearances.
Because of his youth and lack of experience, Bundy may start 2013 in the minors. However, if he gets off to a good start, Baltimore will not let him stay down long.
The arrival of Bundy and how he affects the staff will be worth keeping an eye on next season.

Blueprint for marina for 326 boats revealed for Keynsham
Posted: February 27, 2014|
Plans have been revealed for a new marina in Keynsham.
An application to Bath and North East Somerset Council reveals plans to turn a 52-acre field off Pixash Lane into a marina for 326 boats.
The development, proposed by Melksham-based company M J Bendall and Partners, also includes a tearoom, a chandlery (to sell items for boats), an office, toilets, showers and laundry facilities and a car park.
The application, submitted by agent Paul Beswick, said the new marina would meet a growing demand.
The land is currently used for agriculture but would be converted into the marina with floating pontoons providing access to the River Avon. It would be available to small leisure craft, narrow boats and dutch barges.
The application says: "The proposal provides an opportunity to improve the connection of the area to its most significant environmental, cultural and historic peripheral asset, the River Avon."
The document says the marina would improve public access to the river, bring new facilities and help give the town a shot in the arm.
The application has attracted five objections from local people about flooding and traffic.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: not2easy
You will get different quality/size ratios from the different file formats. Try taking your raw image, and saving it at different qualities, and in different formats, until you get a combination you are happy with.
Quality image software like Adobe Photoshop or something often has a "Save for Web" option, and a choice of file types
Depending on whether your map is quite colourful and detailed, or lots of lines and monochrome, you will get different results. GIF usually works best for low colour/line type images, JPEG for photo type images
From the MM school Fireworks is a great piece of software for optimizing pics for the web.
How big is the map, what size do you want it to be: both in k's and resolution, if it is small, but very complexe then high level >80 + jpg's, if it is large but simple then =<60 jpg or look at gifs, i'm not to sure about the mysteries around png's, i thought their were fireworks own extension.
The maps have all been designed to be between 520 to 525 pixels wide and vary in height. If you go to bareboats bvi dot com slash bvi underscore map dot html (put together of course) you can see an example of one of the maps. The individual maps of the 4 major islands will be similar in size but with a lot more detail.
I'm embarassed to tell you that all I have is the basic photoshop package that came with my imac two and a half years ago so there are not a lot of options. I design all images in Appleworks, copy and paste to photoshop to make into a jpeg.
O.K. ... so I am challenged in many ways, but it seems to work to a certain extent!
After having saved the file for the Web, I use Image Ready (Included in Photoshop) to optimize it.
Many, many thanks!
You can convert gifs to jpegs and lower the file size.
You can also compare all options.
I say progressively because this causes less quality loss (i.e. first to 256, then 128, then 64, then 48, etc...) Just keep going until you see a major loss of visual quality. Doing this and THEN using an image compressor will do amazing things for your graphics.
Keep in mind that the most popular screen resolution right now is 800x600. This means if your resolution is set at over 1024x768 (and why wouldn't it be?) then you'll want to check for visual quality loss at 2x because that's closer to how the image will appear for most people.
It seems as though you have achieved what you want. But I just thought it might be fun for the forum if you provide a url for the original source image. Then some of us might like to post up urls of our best attempts of optimising your image for you. We would all get to see the results. This would speak volumes about the best approach.
Who's game? :)
I can upload it to a page if you like. Just let me know when and I'll give you the url.
I'd love to see what those who know what they are doing can do with it! I drew it using Appleworks and then copied and pasted it to Adobe Photo Shop (very basic) which came wih my 2 1/2 year old imac.
If you keep your cookies cleared, you can keep using it indefinitely.
Thanks for your patience everyone!
Sorry - I am not very aware of what the sensitivities are with such issues. I don't mind conforming to any rules. It would just be great if there was a way that we all could see what different software (and people) can do.
I'll put the original uncompressed image on my web server space, and post the URL in a new thread...
Then, anyone interested in "competing" can download the file, have their way with it, and stickymail me with the URL of their compressed image, what program & settings they used to compress it, etc...
Then I'll upload the "finished" images to my server as well, and post links to each image, along with who did it and how they pulled it off...
Keep your eyes open for the new thread. (This is interesting enough to me, if Liane decides not to allow use of her map, I'll come up with another "original" image with roughly the same specs to use...)
I'm sure we're all very curious to see what everyone is coming up with... but patience is a virtue. ;)
I may post an occasional update in the contest thread [webmasterworld.com] so everyone has a general idea how things are going...

Angels Are Everywhere: On Tv, Books, Magazines
Gustav Niebuhr 1997, N. Y. Times News Service, St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
FASCINATION with angels has run at high tide in recent years, and there's little sign that it's letting up. One can read angel books, mail angel postcards, mark the days on angel calendars, attend workshops on guardian angels and, of course, tune in to the CBS dramatic series "Touched by an Angel" every Sunday night.
In part, this is a sign of the times, a feature of renewed interest in spiritual matters, an end-of-century trend that has also sparked publishing booms centered on saints, miracles and near-death experiences.
(The trend occasionally takes some esoteric detours, as in the case of the UFO-obsessed cult Heaven's Gate, which developed a science fiction-like cosmology in which extraterrestrials replaced angels.) Interest in angels draws on a deep well of tradition. In medieval times, Jewish and Christian writers composed elaborate commentaries on the subject. Joan of Arc said she had communicated with angels, as did the poet William Blake. King James I wrote a book on fallen angels and kept an official angelologist at his court. "Touched by an Angel" has won a large following by paying respects to tradition while steering a course within the bounds of contemporary nonsectarian interest. The show's angels, led by the wise Tess (Della Reese), appear to and disappear from human view, and speak of God with an intimacy that indicates clear knowledge of the divine. All this falls within the bounds of Scripture. So, too, does the fact that Tess and her associates can interact with humans while concealing their otherworldly nature. In Genesis, Abraham welcomes three angelic visitors to his tent without realizing who they are. The author of Hebrews 13:2, in the New Testament, warns, "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unaware." But when they announce themselves, the angels on television speak more bluntly than their biblical counterparts often do - a trait perhaps explained by the fact that relatively few people today expect to meet visitors from heaven. "I'm an angel," Tess said, in one recent episode, speaking to a mildly startled middle-class couple. Her announcement served as a prelude to encouraging them to mend their ways, to be honest, not deceptive. The show lasts an hour; so, too, does the human-angel interaction. And therein lies another subtle but important difference between the Bible's angels and television's. In Scripture, angels tend to be beings of relatively few words. Nor do they linger. Also, as God's emissaries, they bear messages that in the specific circumstances are greater than any mortal (even a prophet) could communicate. …

Nicholas Hoult: Jennifer Lawrence deserves success
PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Though Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult remain quiet about the status of their relationship, the actor says he couldn't be prouder of the Oscar winner.
The couple co-starred together in "X-Men: First Class" and will be in the sequel as well. Hoult was on hand when Lawrence, last year's best-actress winner at the Academy Awards, won best supporting actress at the Golden Globes last weekend.
"She deserves it all," Hoult said Saturday of Lawrence, who is nominated for another Oscar this year. "It's fun to watch."
Holt has been having his own fun at the Sundance Film Festival; it's the actor's first time at the event. He's promoting his movie "Young Ones," which also stars Elle Fanning and is directed by Jake Paltrow, Gwyneth's brother. On Friday, Hoult attended the premiere of the drama "Camp X-Ray." The film stars Kristen Stewart, who will star with Hoult in Drake Doremus' upcoming fantasy love story "Equals."
Hoult said Lawrence read the "Equals" script with him.
"We both loved the script. It's epic in proportion, but centered on these specific relationships," he said.
"Young Ones" premieres at Sundance on Saturday.

Bremerton Man Warned, Again, About Using Potato Gun
An officer issued a second warning to a man with a potato gun Saturday, telling him that it is illegal to shoot the device in city limits, according to Bremerton Police reports.
The officer found the 30-year-old man preparing to shoot a potato on the 2000 block of Magnuson Way around 6 p.m. Saturday.
The gun was made out of PVC pipe and the man had been using hairspray as the "explosive discharge" for the gun, police said.
The officer cleared the potato from the gun's shaft and reminded the man that the device is considered a firearm and cannot be fired off within city limits.
The man claimed he'd misunderstood the officer's first warning against using the potato gun. The officer forwarded a report to the Kitsap County Prosecutor's Office for review. No arrests were made.

Quick Take
Teen apparel retailer
Urban Outfitters
) recently reported strong holiday sales results despite the tough
retail environment. The retailer's sales increased by 8% during
November and December, on top of 15% growth witnessed in the prior
year's holiday season. Urban Outfitters' strong brand recognition
and appealing product offerings helped it drive store traffic even
as U.S. buyers were hesitant to spend on apparel.
Although the retailer's namesake brand struggled a little,
healthy growth in
Free People
was able to offset this impact. Moreover, as U.S. consumers
preferred online shopping over store shopping this season, Urban
Outfitters' strong e-commerce channel boosted its sales.
Our price estimate for Urban Outfitters stands at
, implying a premium of more than 15% to the market price.
See our complete analysis for Urban Outfitters
2013 Holidays Weren't So Happy For Apparel
Due to the impact of increased taxes, slow job growth, changing
spending patterns, higher healthcare costs and gasoline prices,
U.S. buyers spent cautiously last year. This was clearly visible in
the recently concluded holiday season as the U.S. retail industry
saw its weakest growth since 2009. Moreover, extreme weather
conditions prevented buyers from completing their shopping. As a
result, U.S. foot traffic declined by 19.9% for the week ended
December 15, and 21% for the week through to December
22. ShopperTrak even predicted 10% fewer customers for
Christmas 2013, as compared to the same holiday last year.
Overall, foot traffic during the holiday season decreased by a
staggering 14.6%, which was significantly higher than ShopperTrak's
prediction of 1.4% decline. Moreover, while U.S. buyers spent
freely on electronics, furniture and building materials, they were
hesitant to spend on clothing. According to a Reuters poll
conducted before the holiday season, about 27% of consumers were
planning to lower their spending on apparel this holiday season.
Therefore, it is quite clear that the 2013 holiday season posed
special challenges for apparel retailers.
However, Urban Outfitters Registered Strong Growth With
Popular Brands
Despite the tough environment for apparel retailers, Urban
Outfitters recorded strong growth as its products resonate very
well with the customers. Although its namesake brand fumbled, due
to missed fashion calls, growth of
Free People
subdued the impact of
Urban Outfitters
' revenue decline. The retailer's revenues increased by almost 8%
along with a 3% rise in comparable store sales. The comparable
retail segment net sales increased 21% at
Free People
and 11% at
while decreasing 6% at
Urban Outfitters
. In the wholesale segment, Urban Outfitters' revenues increased
by 21%. Overall, the company generated $716 million in
revenues during the holiday season, which is its best performance
so far.
which accounts for more than 40% of the company's revenues
(assuming that its revenue contribution is same in online and store
channel), has been impressing with its strong growth since its
turnaround last year. Customers have responded positively to the
brand's new theme of sensual and feminine looks. Previously,
it was more focused on preppy and quirky products. As a result of
the positive customer response,
has operated with more full priced sales, which has helped its
Moreover, with its strong and diverse supply chain of over 4,100
vendors globally, Urban Outfitters has responded to its customers'
needs in an effective way. New collections have hit stores on time,
which has enabled the company to drive greater store traffic
without offering heavy discounts.
E-Commerce Growth Also Helped
Urban Outfitters' big direct-to-consumer channel played a
crucial role in its strong revenue growth during the holiday
season. In December, as bad weather conditions kept U.S. buyers
away from the stores, they stayed home and bought more online. As a
result, there was a heavy surge in online orders. This is evident
from the fact that United Parcel Service (
), which is one of the biggest player in e-commerce delivery,
struggled to ship orders on time. Abercrombie & Fitch (
), which usually earns close to 15% of its revenues from e-commerce
business, saw this figure escalate to 25%.
Since Urban Outfitters' e-commerce channel is very strong and
makes up about one-fourth of its net revenues, it was one of the
biggest gainers from this trend. The retailer had made several
investments in this channel with the expectation that Internet will
play a key role during the holiday season. Towards the end of
October, Urban Outfitters launched the first phase of
Urban Outfitters
' site redesign, which was focused on improving product
presentations through story telling. The retailer also launched
refreshed website, which improved the visuals considerably.
Additionally, it overhauled its mobile apps, added a number of
new features, and introduced generation 5 iPhone app Urban
On. The app was focused on engaging customers by leveraging
their likes such as exclusive access to rewards and events. As
Urban On saw tremendous success in its initial phase, it likely
contributed to Urban Outfitters' e-commerce growth during the
holiday season.

Matt Kapko | September 26, 2012 | Comments
RPA's new VP and director of creative social media, J Barbush, seeks passionate everyday brand fans.
J Barbush calls himself a writer by trade. When he joined RPA 17 years ago he would write the brand stories that some people at the Santa Monica, CA-based agency didn't want to write. Recently promoted to VP and director of creative social media for the integrated agency, Barbush (left) said he still focuses on "being a listener" and he tries to install that approach throughout his team.
"You always need to take a step back. Think about it, think about how you feel about it as a reader," he said. "Yes, we could do this. Do you care? Would you care?" Barbush oversees creative social media campaigns for RPA's full client roster including Honda, ARCO, Farmers Insurance Group, and Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. ClickZ spoke with him last week after he was heads down in a Honda campaign that involved local band Monsters Calling Home getting a special musical guest spot on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last Wednesday.
The idea for the campaign really came out of nowhere. Someone within the agency discovered that the band recently shot a music video inside their Honda vehicles and the message eventually found its way to Barbush. "It would have been easy for us to click, like, or repost it," he said. "We thought this was a really great opportunity."
A Honda-branded video that tells the story of the band and its road to the late night talk show has been viewed nearly 1.3 million times.
The story also follows Barbush's passion for finding authentic, regular people that can become a spokespeople of sorts for the brand. "It really is about promoting this regular person with a lot of passion… When people see it, their passion comes through," he said.
"They all come out of the story itself. We kind of stumble upon these stories. It's not a brief with a band saying, let's make them famous," he said. "We're not looking at a campaign, but more of this overall thematic thing that we're going to carry on for awhile."
A different tone is expected in social media, Barbush said. "Once you go in the direction where you fake it, there's no going back. It's like you're done, you lost it," he added. "With social media there's an expectation there of truth and giving something that feels real… It's a little too touchy-feely for regular advertising metrics to quantify."
To highlight Honda as an every-person brand, Barbush said he and his team understand that they need to create an environment where people feel comfortable telling their stories and confident that people will be listening.
"When people hear a good story, they involve themselves in it a little bit," he said. "It's almost like a chemical reaction in the brain with people… It's really hard in traditional advertising to do that or have that effect."
How RPA finds these stories is an evolution in and of itself. With its recent "First Honda" campaign, Barbush's team began by taking pictures of old cars at the American Honda Museum in Torrance, CA. Eventually his team set their sights on the first Honda ever sold in the United States, the Honda N600.
After contacting Tim Mings, the man who restored the N600 at the museum, Barbush's five-person film crew discovered that he owned the first N600 sold in the U.S., serial No. 1. Hence, "First Honda." "We like to do a fan milestone, and also a brand milestone. We like to put them together," Barbush added. "We want to have things that stick, but we want an emotional or joyous connection to them and to their lives and how they see it."
Barbush said he appreciates the deeper relationships brands can foster with consumers in social, but he's equally cognizant of the pitfalls and instant turn-offs. "Just because I've shown that I like you, I'm not letting you openly market me and throw me on the email list and hit me with a barrage of advertising," he said.
"I think a lot of people are looking at how they can apply the old model of advertising into this new social media model, and I think that's where a lot of these missteps are happening. The worlds will connect, but not now," he said.
"I think it will connect with the mother ship eventually," Barbush said.

A good enough excuse to drop five bones and dust off the Normandy's navigation console?
Posted by Darth_Shan on Aug 28th, 2009
The "Pinnacle Station" add-on is now available for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Sitting at 246 MB, the new mission is purported to be between two and three hours of fresh content for Shepard and the crew to explore. It's set on an isolated space station, where developer Bioware promises "13 exciting combat scenarios." Pinnacle Station is priced at 400 Microsoft points, or about $5.00 -- the same asking price as Mass Effect's first DLC, "Bring Down the Sky." Seem like a good enough excuse to drop five bones and dust off the Normandy's navigation console?
To celebrate the release i have uploaded screenshots of the new DLC on the gallery.

Have you ever noticed how security is an integral part of certain brands, regardless of how the products are actually selling on the market? When you think "smartphone security," you don't think Apple or Google. You think Blackberry, even though they are barely a blip on the radar of modern smartphone buyers. When it comes to automobiles, we think "safety." Volvo will always be near the top of that particular list.

Great Buy -
By: deb56 from Cumbria
I'm really pleased with this. The colour, the comfort of the fit and its versatility -it's smart and looks great both with skirts and with trousers. I really like the covered buttons - just adds that something a little different.
Cardigan With Pizzazz -
By: FanofTheBand from Ayden, NC
I really like this cute ash gray cardigan with dots on the front yoke because they add pizzazz. Would be even better to have dots on the back yoke too. The covered buttons are a really special feature, and I like very much that the fabric is all cotton. Small size is a perfect fit.
By: Abby11 from Upstate New York
This is a cute cardigan that will be very useful for the end of winter/early spring wardrobe. The dots are cute!
Excellent Purchase -
By: Jonah47 from Lancaster
Beautiful Cardigan even better than the pictures . Highly Delighted
Beautiful and fun sweater -
By: 19JC63 from Vancouver Island
A beautiful sweater and a fun design. Excellent quality and the fit was great. Very good price.
Difficult to tell -

Top 1000 Contributor
The cardigan was quite pretty, but I wasn't able to judge its fit because the wrong size arrived. I wasn't prepared to wait for the right one, so sent it back.
Classic piece -
By: Fogbraider from Aberdeen
High quality as always, correct fit. Good length - especially in large sizes, you don't want tops to be too short.
CUTE Sweater -
By: WeimWalker from Kansas City, MO
The Small is slightly snug on my 36C top, but looked more flattering than the much looser Medium. Dot pattern on the yoke is very cute. The buttons are covered in what appears to be the same fabric as the sweater; they look nice but are a bit difficult to get thru the buttonholes. I'm looking forward to wearing this (the grey version) with a short jean skirt and charcoal grey tights.

Their Friends Speak:
1Most beautiful of women,
tell us where he has gone.
Let us help you find him.
She Speaks:
2My darling has gone down
to his garden of spices,
where he will feed his sheep
and gather lilies.
3I am his, and he is mine,
as he feeds his sheep
among the lilies.
He Speaks:
4My dearest, the cities of Tirzah
and Jerusalem
are not as lovely as you.
Your charms are more powerful
than all of the stars
in the heavens.#6.4 all … heavens: Or "a mighty army ready for war."
5Turn away your eyes—
they make me melt.
Your hair tosses about
as gracefully as goats
coming down from Gilead.
6Your teeth are whiter
than sheep freshly washed;
they match perfectly,
not one is missing.
7Behind your veil are hidden
beautiful rosy cheeks.#6.7 cheeks: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text of verse 7.
8What if I could have
sixty queens, eighty wives,
and thousands of others!
9You would be my only choice,
my flawless dove,
the favorite child
of your mother.
The young women, the queens,
and all the others
tell how excited you are
as they sing your praises:
10"You are as majestic
as the morning sky—
glorious as the moon—
blinding as the sun!
Your charms are more powerful
than all the stars above."#6.10 all … above: Or "a mighty army ready for war."
She Speaks:
11I went down to see if blossoms
were on the walnut trees,
grapevines, and fruit trees.
12But in my imagination
I was suddenly riding
on a glorious chariot.#6.12 chariot: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text of verse 12.
Their Friends Speak:
13Dance! Dance!
Beautiful woman from Shulam,
let us see you dance!
She Speaks:
Why do you want to see
this woman from Shulam
dancing with the others?#6.13 dancing … others: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.

But 2012 isn't shaping up so nicely for women: Those making headlines are either "provocative but unelectable" or "provocative but who may render their husbands unelectable," writes former Clinton press chief Dee Dee Myers at Politico. Sarah Palin leads the first camp; she can't even be called a "politician." "'Politicians' don't quit their day jobs as governor to star in reality TV shows." Then there's Michele Bachmann, who "knows shockingly little about history and public policy," Myers notes. "This is the woman who claimed that the Founding Fathers ended slavery." Callista Gingrich will need to show how her affair with Newt, which started while he was "leading the charge to impeach a president over infidelity," "isn't just hypocritical but disqualifying." Cheri Daniels, meanwhile, left her husband and four kids, married another man, then returned to Mitch. Though things will "evolve," "I feel like my team is off to an 0-10 start," Myers writes. Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn. speaks during a We the People candidates forum Saturday, April 30, 2011, in Manchester, N.H.

Legal challenge to English Only election not linked to formal opposition
A Nashville attorney has filed a suit in Davidson County Chancery Court challenging the constitutionality of the English Only referendum and seeking to prevent a special election from being held on Jan. 22.
The suit was filed Wednesday by Nashville attorney David Randolph Smith on behalf of a legal El Salvadoran immigrant. (Click here to view the document.)
Smith pointed to the fact Mayor Karl Dean has already opposed the proposal to make English the official language of Metro and to say an individual has no right to services in any other language. The English Only initiative has been amended to make an exception for health and safety.
Smith also made mention of the memorializing resolution passed by Metro Council, which encouraged voters to oppose English Only.
Smith referenced a legal memo written by Metro Director of Law Sue Cain in 2007 regarding a similar resolution before Metro Council introduced by Councilman Eric Crafton. Cain's memo said that resolution, ultimately vetoed by then-Mayor Bill Purcell, was likely to be found unconstitutional.
"The question is, under what circumstances can you enjoin an election?" Smith asked. "My answer is under exceptional circumstances and these are exceptional circumstances."
Smith said the proposal violates an individual's right to free speech and to petition the government. The suit says voters have no right to amend the Metro charter in such a way.
Attorney Gregg Ramos, one of the leaders of a coalition called Nashville for Everyone, which opposes English Only, said his group had nothing to do with the lawsuit.
Ramos said organizing efforts against English Only were "going well."

Loyola Pediatrician Gives Tips on Helping Kids Sleep
MAYWOOD, Ill. â We all know that pulling all-nighters, being overly caffeinated and overly stimulated have become a part of college life, but the reality is that even school-age children are dealing with these scenarios as well. In fact, approximately 70 percent of children under the age of 10 have difficulty falling asleep or have problems that diminish their quality of sleep. This means that children are a large part of the 70 million Americans who suffer from sleep deprivation.
âLack of sleep can cause a lot of stress and difficulty for a child. Kids can have a hard time concentrating, which causes problems in school. There can be physical complications, such as headaches, and it can even cause a child to have a more negative outlook on life,â said Dr. Hannah Chow, a pediatrician at Loyola University Health System. âItâs important for parents to know how much sleep their child needs and then make sure they get it.â
According to Chow, toddlers should be getting 10 to 12 hours of sleep a night with a 1- to 3-hour nap during the day. School-age kids should get no less than 10 hours of sleep and teens need at least 9 to 10 hours.
âMost families are a lot busier today than ever before. Parents want to make sure they still have time to be together as a family. To find that time itâs often sleep hours that get cut,â Chow said. âSleep is the only time our brains have a break and are not being constantly bombarded by stimulation. Our bodies need a chance to rest and recharge, this only comes with sleep.â
No matter a childâs age, Chow suggests parents fiercely protect the amount of sleep their children get to help kids have a better quality of life.
âParents need to learn how to say ânoâ and protect the time their children need to sleep. Better sleep allows kids to be less stressed, which leads to a better quality of life,â Chow said.
Here are few tips to help kids get the sleep they need: ⢠Create a simple sleep routine and stick to it. Long elaborate bedtime routines should be avoided. Get firm at bedtime and make sure kids understand the importance of sleep. ⢠Set limits. Consider stopping all stimulating activity an hour before bedtime. Turn off the TV, take away the cell phone and shut down video games and computers. This will help the mind and body relax. ⢠Absolutely no TVs, video games or cell phones in the bedroom. Use this downtime as a chance to connect with your child. Itâs a great time to talk to your children about their day and to touch base about what is happening in their lives. If you have a teenager, it might be the only chance you get.
Chow encourages parents, especially of younger children, to have a sleep routine that allows children to fall asleep on their own. For instance, if you rock a child to sleep they may not be able to fall asleep if there is no motion.
âChildren need both quality and quantity of sleep. Help your kids develop good sleeping habits when theyâre young so they keep them as they grow. We can never get back the sleep we lose,â Chow said. âThere will always be those special occasions when there will be a break in routine, but the less you deviate from your childrenâs sleep schedule the happier theyâll be.â

Jobo specifically states not use PhotoFlo for black & white film nor stabilizer for color film in the rotary tank. Put those solutions in a beaker and immerse the film in the beaker instead.

Camp New Horizons North
About the Camp
Camp New Horizons North provides a special time for children with diabetes — one of the best times of the summer and one campers will always remember. Children attending our camps will experience all of the fun of outdoor activities while learning valuable lessons on positive diabetes management.
Our camp offers planned and supervised activities by health care professionals experienced in diabetes management and trained volunteers. An action-packed week of activities includes arts and crafts, games, sports, swimming, diabetes education and much more. Camp concludes on Friday with a field day and a family picnic.
Additionally, a one-day parent conference allows caregivers an opportunity to learn from health professionals who provides up-to-date information on diabetes, research, family dynamics and other related topics. On Friday, a Vendor Fair provides family the latest equipment, products and suppliers on the market.
Camp fee includes camp t-shirt, group photo, snacks and most medical supplies.
