Perfect Game is an organization that defined an industry and remains baseball's most respected scouting report service. Perfect Game provides showcases, tournaments, online video, national rankings, player profiles, scouting reports and college and professional opportunities to the nation's top prospects and their families. Where talent goes, professional scouts and top college recruiters are sure to follow, and Perfect Game can offer the best in baseball increased exposure, insight and professionalism to propel them through their baseball careers.
Perfect Game:
• Reports to all 30 Major League scouting departments
• Reports to over 1,500 college baseball programs
• Ranks players nationally, by state, and by position
• Runs the most organized events nationwide
• Works with Skillshow, which films all players during showcase workouts and all pitchers during games for BaseballWebTV.com
• Requires players to use wooden bats only (except for BCS tournaments)
• Has selected every Perfect Game All-American (Formerly Aflac All-American)
Showcase participants will receive:
• A comprehensive scouting evaluation by Perfect Game, which will be posted online at www.PerfectGame.org
• An opportunity to compete with and against the nation's top high school and amateur prospects
• Exposure to over 1,500 colleges and scouts from all 30 Major League teams
• A player profile on www.PerfectGame.org
• A jersey and a New Era 59FIFTY fitted cap
• Video clips posted on player profile
Roy Clark: "Jerry (Ford) and his staff do an outstanding job. We feel that they put on, and it's not even close, the best showcases and tournaments of anybody. They're so well organized. Jerry has tremendous knowledge of scouting. They have a lot of former professional and college baseball people in their organization.
"Since they put on the best showcases and tournaments, naturally they're going to get the best players. We are pretty much a high-school oriented organization, so where the best players go, we will be there. We have sometimes up to 10 or 11 scouts covering Perfect Game events. It gives athletes the chance to compete at the highest level of their age group, in a team or showcase format, in some of the best facilities in front of both colleges and scouts. "They're (Perfect Game) the best, and the top colleges and the highest level scouts know it."
Click here for the full interview transcript
Perfect Game set a new record for the tenth consecutive year following the 2011 MLB draft. Of the 1,530 players selected, 1,323 had attended a Perfect Game event, and 294 of the first 331 picks were Perfect Game alumni. Many of these alumni had participated in multiple Perfect Game tournaments, showcases and/or leagues.
In the past ten years, 9,073 Perfect Game participants have been chosen in the MLB First-Year Player Draft. However, these figures do not account for the many Latin American free agents who participate in Perfect Game showcases and tournaments and then sign with Major League clubs. One can only imagine how many Perfect Game alumni will ultimately reach their dream of playing Major League Baseball down the road.
Perfect Game does not take any credit for the numerous outstanding players selected in the draft or the many more who go on to play college baseball. Perfect Game simply provides talented players a means to be identified and evaluated closely while competing with and against the best worldwide. Perfect Game identifies players, provides an opinion, and then lets Major League scouts and college coaches form their own.
MLB scouts and college coaches make the most important decisions, and luckily, they follow what we do very closely - not only in person, but online as well.

Initial version by Dario Andres (2010-03). Corrections by Lydia Pintscher
All this guide is based on my own experience (approximately 2 years) on the KDE bug tracker.
It may not work for you ;)
If you are not familiar with the Bugzilla (KDE bug tracker system) interface, you may find this guide useful: Quick Introduction to Bugzilla
Manpower is always needed in a bug tracker, but as any action taken on it may be potentially destructive to other people's work; or it may end up messing things up (and consuming the developers' or other triager's time) the tracker requires special permissions to perform changes in bug reports.
If you want to work in the bug tracker you need to prove that you know what you are doing.
Initially you will ask for support on #kde-bugs (on IRC) and add comments in the bug report (so other people will see and check them, perform the needed actions, and evaluate your work)
You could use different techniques or approaches to triage the reports according to your current mood or the amount of work you want to do for example.
Note: The two following techniques are complementary.
In this technique you check all the bug reports (of all the products) which were filed today (or some days ago).
You can focus on crash, normal or wish reports individually (recommended) or all of them together.
Not so Good:
This technique could be used every week (or every day)
Choose a product (application or library). Then choose a period of time like 1 month or 1 or 2 years (or "from the beginning of the current year"). You can also choose which kind of reports you want to handle.
This technique is useful to audit old bugs or perform a deep clean (in case that the bugs weren't triaged on a daily basis previously).
Not so Good:
You can also filter out results (and be even more focused) if you select a custom component inside the product (a subsection of the application).
This technique could be used two times a month.
Now that you have a list of bug reports, pick one !
Workflow Graphic (ToDo)
There are several things that must be checked and "fixed" to make an initial bug report an interesting and useful peace of information for the developers to check.
|if at any point you don't really know how to continue, because you don't understand the issue properly, always ask to the developers or related contributors
As KDE has too much users, we get a lot of reports about bugs which are already reported (the so named "duplicates"). Before putting any effort in the current report we should check for the main report.
There are a lot of ways of identifying duplicate reports depending of the kind of bug.
|due to the heavy usage of libraries in the KDE software, a bug reported for an application may be being tracked at a library product (example, a bug in Plasma Desktop may be a bug in kdelibs, and therefore being tracked in the "kdelibs" product)
(Link ToDo) List of related KDE technologies
|when using more than one word in the "Comments" field you need to select the option "contains all of the words/strings"
|it is sometimes difficult to choose the proper ones, as the way of describing a scene varies from person to person (but we have time)
Perform a full search over the same product (read general note), initially on the "general" component, putting the "ClassName::FunctionName" pairs that identify the crash in the Comments field of the form (if you put more than one pair, you need to select the option "contains all of the words/strings")
|you may found related reports that are already marked as duplicate of a third report. Always try to use this third report as the "main" one. However, in some cases, the "main" reports refers to a root issue, and some of its duplicates may refer to sub-issues. In those cases try to check which refers to the issue you are looking at.
A backtrace is a piece of information that describes what was the application doing when it encountered the error and had to close itself. It is a "function stack" leading to the "crashing point".
In KDE applications, the backtraces are generated by the Crash Handler Dialog ("DrKonqi"). They can also be generated by the general debugger "GDB", but that involves more steps.
The backtrace is read from top to bottom
The first line shows *where* the crash occurred (because of an illegal instruction, invalid pointer, memory problem or other issues)
The other lines show the "way to the first function"
Application: Plasma Workspace (kdeinit4), signal: Bus error [KCrash Handler] #5 0x00007fb563bb8f02 in KPixmapCache::Private::mmapFile (this=0x92df60, filename=..., info=0x92dfb0, newsize=33656832) at /usr/src/debug/kdelibs- 4.4.1/kdeui/util/kpixmapcache.cpp:491 #6 0x00007fb563be3c34 in KPixmapCache::Private::mmapFiles (this=0x92df60) at /usr/src/debug/kdelibs-4.4.1/kdeui/util/kpixmapcache.cpp:419 #7 0x00007fb563be38e3 in KPixmapCache::Private::init (this=0x92df60) at /usr/src/debug/kdelibs-4.4.1/kdeui/util/kpixmapcache.cpp:1061 #8 0x00007fb563be576d in KPixmapCache::discard (this=0x1203ca0) at /usr/src /debug/kdelibs-4.4.1/kdeui/util/kpixmapcache.cpp:1279 #9 0x00007fb563be5e48 in KPixmapCache::deleteCache (name=...) at /usr/src /debug/kdelibs-4.4.1/kdeui/util/kpixmapcache.cpp:1255 #10 0x00007fb55afdc97d in Plasma::ThemePrivate::discardCache (this=0x7a7d30) at /usr/src/debug/kdelibs-4.4.1/plasma/theme.cpp:224 #11 0x00007fb55afe009b in Plasma::ThemePrivate::setThemeName (this=0x7a7d30, tempThemeName=<value optimized out>, writeSettings=<value optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/kdelibs-4.4.1/plasma/theme.cpp:380 #12 0x00007fb55afe19fb in Plasma::Theme::settingsChanged (this=0x70af20) at /usr/src/debug/kdelibs-4.4.1/plasma/theme.cpp:341 #13 0x00007fb55afe2918 in Plasma::ThemePrivate::settingsFileChanged (this=0x7a7d30, file=<value optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/kdelibs- 4.4.1/plasma/theme.cpp:335 ...
#NumberInTheStack MemoryAddress in Namespace::Class:FunctionMember (argumentThis=pointerValue, argument1=value, argument2=value, ...) at path/to /source/code/file.cpp:linenumber
#13 0xb759d5d7 in Nepomuk::ResourceData::determineUri (this=0x91ec5f8) at /home/kde-devel/kde/src/KDE/kdelibs/nepomuk/core/resourcedata.cpp:671
The first thing you need to do is to locate where it crashed, identifying the "[KCrash Handler]" mark (only in backtraces fetched using DrKonqi)
If the application only had one thread, then it is at the top of the unique thread; otherwise you may need to look at all the thread (the KCrash mark may not be always in the Thread number 1)
Once that you located the "crashing thread start", pickup the first two or three "ClassName::Functions" pairs from top to bottom (some functions should be ignored, read below)
This pairs will be used as "keywords" for the duplicate search
|this is only a general rule. There are some special cases when the first three function at the top may be the same but the crash may be different (specially on complex application/libraries as Konqueror)
f the first backtrace functions aren't available (they are not there, or there are "??" )then we can't proceed without requiring more information (a more complete backtrace) [Ask for more information Todo Link]
Some functions or calls are common to a lot of applications using the same core libraries (like the Qt library, glib, glibc, or many others). This kind of functions should not be used for search as they are not representative of the crash itself and it may return lots of results.
Classes and functions to ignore in backtrace:
There are special crashes related to the X11 graphics server. To identify this crashes you can search for the "XIOError" function name (often on Thread 1). The "[KCrash handler]" mark appears in a secondary thread.
The important things to identify those crashes is recognizing the functions *below* the XIOError call (this is, which functions caused the X11 error).
In most of this crashes the functions below "[KCrash handler]" are not important (but they could still be useful to search for duplicates).
Check if the bug is caused by an external plugin/add-on or distribution issue
There are several bugs which may be caused by external add-ons. If you are sure this is the case, you should dismiss the report, telling the reporter to file a new bug in a different place.
Distributions can also bring some trouble, specially with packaging.
Some problems that may cause bugs are:
Also, distribution can include their own add-ons (to bring their own branding or any other special function). If you know KDE software enough you may be able to recognize this unofficial add-ons.
If the reporter mentions an application or dialog you cannot identify, you could try requesting a screenshot; other people may identify if it is a KDE application or an external addition.
Now that you know that the bug report is unique, and that is not an external issue, you need to check all the needed information is there.
If you can reproduce the crash at will (or you experience this regularly), can you install the "PACKAGENAME" package and post a complete backtrace here? (you can get more information at http://techbase.kde.org/User:DarioAndres /Basic_Guide_about_Crash_Reporting ) Thanks
The names of the missing packages depends of the application and the distribution (as package naming scheme changes..). Look at List of debug package names on several Distributions
Useful information which could be also missing:
Often the bug reports aren't properly categorized, or they miss some information in the Bugzilla fields (which are useful for sorting and filtering):
Some of the reports are assigned to the wrong product. This may happen because the original reporter didn't know to which application/library did the bug belong to. It may happen if the Crash Handler dialog reports a crash about an unsupported application (or one that is not mapped properly)
An important step of bug triaging is trying to reproduce the bugs, this means, using the information the reporters added to the bug report to force(recreate, reproduce, repeat) the bug in the application.
This is needed in order to differentiate random/race condition bugs of reproducible ones (which may be reproduced by developers too; and they can fix them)
|testing bug reports may modify/alter your own desktop configuration; also, to try to reproduce some bugs you may need a clean pristine (or sightly modified) environment. I recommend you to perform tests on a separate KDE installation or a clean user. There is also a way to start KDE applications with a clean configuration, even under your current configuration (setting the KDEDIR environment variable at run-time to an empty directory).
You may want to use this reference text to setup your testing environment: Preparing a testing environment (TODO link)
|when trying to reproduce a bug, and if there are more than one piece of information, at first glance, try to identify a *common situation*. (some data or context that is present in all (or most of) the cases). This kind of data may be the key to find out how to reproduce.
If you could reproduce the bug:
A template of a comment for this situation could be:
I can reproduce the bug here using KDE SC x.y.z, Qt a.b.c on Distribution, Kernel d.e.f on XX bits. In order to reproduce I have to perform the following actions: 1- Action 1 2- Action 2 3- Action 3 4- Bug Appears Note that you need to have the X configuration set to Y, and use the Z library - Can anyone else confirm this ? Thanks
If you could not reproduce the bug:
A template of comment for this situation could be:
I couldn't reproduce the bug here using KDE SC x.y.z, Qt a.b.c on Distribution, Kernel d.e.f on XX bits. I tried performing this actions: 1- Action 1 2- Action 2 or 1a- Action 1a 2a- Action 2a However the bug didn't appear/the application didn't crash - Are you all using library X and this kind of configuration ? - Can you still reproduce this bug with an updated KDE SC version ? Thanks
Hopefully you will get feedback from the reporters and you could gather more information to try to reproduce the bug or close the report as WORKSFORME (or FIXED)
During your work you may need help on how to proceed, you can use this resources to get help:
We are planing to host bug triaging events (where new "students" can learn the tricks) named "BugWeeks" on a regular basis to help cleaning up the KDE bug tracker database.
The BugWeeks initiative is based on the Klassroom initiative in the KDE Community Forums
You can find more information about this at:
For every KDE application it is recommended to install the debug information for "kdelibs" and "qt4"

Mississippi River swimRead the Winter 2011 Pathlightfeature interview
View Long Battle for Nickymedia coverage
To kick-off the final weeks leading up to the big day of the swim, Lil hosted an awareness-raising fundraiser, The Long Battle for Nicky in Cleveland, Miss., on July 31, 2010.
The gala drew nearly 200 guests, featuring live and silent auctions, plenty of great food, and music from the Jimbo Richardson Band. The Long Battle for Nicky gala raised over $40,000 for PH research and PHA's patient and caregiver programs - setting the stage for a swim that signified a transformation of hope into reality.
Aug. 15: Trial Run | Sept. 8 | Sept. 9 | Sept. 10 | Sept. 11: Swim Day
It broke my goggles; it tore my snorkel away from my mouth. My nose clip nearly drowned me because I couldn't get enough air. In other words, everything I thought had prepared me for over a year was useless. My heart was pounding I guess as hard a heart can pound. I swam in circles for fifteen minutes from being so disoriented I didn't know up from down. That current is a powerful force to be reckoned with.
When I finally figured out what all I was doing wrong, I grabbed the boat (I was swimming with no life jacket or tether) and had to rethink everything I had learned.
First of all, you CANNOT keep your head under water and swim the river, thus the disorientation. Second, you have to spend money on a very good pair of goggles. You cannot do completely without them because my left eye where my goggles broke is almost swollen shut with sand! Third, keep your eyes on the prize, the other side! Fourth, if you ever get a little over halfway across, the current starts to help you instead of hinder you. It will begin to push toward the other side. And, most of all, fifth, stay calm! It's hard to breathe when your heart is beating 90 miles an hour!
When I figured all of this out, I finally started getting somewhere. If I hadn't spent that time going in circles, I probably could have made it three fourths across a very swollen river.
Next time I'll be calmer. It didn't help any that right before I went in the water the Cap'n and a media guest saw a four foot alligator, gar! I really did NOT want to hear that.
When I got to the middle, I paused to look around. I absolutely could not believe that I was in the middle of that great river of ours. It gave me hope and I felt Nicky all around me. I was completely awestruck.
In three more days, I swim the river. www.lloydcalhoun.com says the gage will be at 10.8. When I did my trial swim, it was 17.8. So that's on a good note. On a bad note, a man that worked for Jantran fell off of a barge last Thursday and guess where they found him Tuesday? Yep, you're right! Catfish Point; exactly where I'm swimming. Now, I know the river moves on but still I can't help freaking out a little bit!! Give me a break. My father passed his superstitious mind down to me and I'm wondering...Is it an omen?
I freaked out so much that I called the local ambulance service and they are going to have an ambulance at the top of the levee on standby. I wasn't going to tell anyone but of course I blabbed and told [my husband] Henry Earl. He told me I was being utterly ridiculous and then changed his mind and said he thought it was a good idea. I don't know which statement freaked me out more! I've asked Rev. Steve to give me communion before the swim and he told me he would be honored. I can't tell anyone that I'm really frightened out of my mind!! Henry Earl said, "Well, if you're scared, call it off." Like he doesn't know that I've put more of a year of my life into this thing. What kind of chicken would I look like if I backed out now? It's not that simple!!
As of right now, I have 130 people coming to "The Revival" alone, not to mention a four man documentary crew from New Jersey and a representative from Actelion. Anne Martin (anchorwoman for WXVT), Joellyn Sullivan, as my nurse, my son Battle to pull me in the boat if need be, and Steve White, who lost his daughter to PH in 2002 and is a board member of PHA, in a boat. I have a LOT of people counting on me! We've made $43,000 so far and this documentary crew is making a film that will go down in history for PH. Imagine the people this could reach! This started out all for Nicky, but evidently it was God's plan to make it snowball and I can leave this world now knowing I've done something with my life that is good.
It is important to me that my children and grandchildren know this. I've spent most of my life as a single mother. I worked all the time and a wonderful woman named Stella Anthony (Seel to us) raised my children. My first husband deserted them when they were 5 and 1, so I worked. I never said a bad word about him and never took him to court, but I had to work three jobs. I wrote for the local paper, was a teller for the bank, and worked in a restaurant three nights a week and went to college two nights a week. My children never saw me and they are a driving force for me to do something good so that they can be proud. That's why I've got to swim and that's why I have to get ALL the way across.
Two more days...I have to admit that sometimes, I wish I had just gone and jumped in the river with nobody around. I know there's nothing stronger than that river around here and I will draw my strength from it once I'm across. I can keep telling myself that if I can fight my way across that river, I can fight my way through anything. But it all snowballed and I saw that God had a bigger plan for this event.
I've had some fluid retention the last few days that is worrying me somewhat. I was told NOT to swim for four days before the event, but it's already been four because of weather. Speaking of weather, I have no "Plan B" if it rains. There is a 30% chance. They usually come late in the afternoon this time of year. I hope that is God's plan Saturday.
Instead of getting more nervous as the day approaches, I actually feel calmer. It's like that time I was in an emergency landing with one engine on fire. We had to go through the "hunker down" process. At first, the panic just overwhelmed me. Then when I realized it was totally out of my control, calm came over me that was so sweet. I don't think I'll ever forget that feeling. I think I'm having it again.
I spent all day getting ready for Doug Miller, Steve White, Gareth Gwyn and my friend, Joellyn Sullivan, a cardio physical therapist. I cooked shrimp fettuccini Alfredo, salad with my own homemade dressing, and brochette. They all arrived at the same time and after introductions all around, we fell into comfortable conversation and by the time they left, I felt I had known them forever. I'm so glad I got to meet them tonight and we wouldn't be total strangers tomorrow. When I found out Steve lost a daughter and Doug lost his mother to PH, I added them to my "swim list."
The alarm went off at 5 a.m. There was just that second that I forgot what day it was. Then it hit me! I'm swimming the mighty Mississippi River today!!!! There wasn't much time to get nervous; what with gathering everything we needed, taking meds, eating breakfast.
Before I knew it I was in the truck driving toward our destination. We met my son, Battle, who was going in our boat. At first, he told me he thought I must have lost my mind and he didn't want any part of it. When my father died right before Nicky, my "rock" shifted from my father to my son. It was a subtle shift, really without me even knowing it. He didn't like what I was doing, but I knew in the end, he would not let me go without him.
One of my best friends, Joellyn Sullivan was also with me. When I've seen a new doctor, she's the one who translates to me what the doctor really said. She is very organized, has a memory like a steel trap and would fight a tiger for me. She has an extensive medical background and was the first person I called to be in my boat.
Then we met Anne Martin at a specific destination. Anne and I met about a year ago and became instant friends. She has been the driving force behind all of the publicity I've gotten. She has believed in me since day one and has been a tremendous help in creating excitement for the event.
My stepson, Justin, was in charge of bringing Steve, Gareth, and Doug. All of them commented on how polite and informative he was. Justin and my step-daughter, Kattie, are like my own. I love them simply because they gave me the chance. They have been behind me every step of the way and have never failed to encourage me.
We got to our destination and for one split second, my heart went pity pat and then the gang met me at the truck and it all started moving fast again. They were all too cute in their red "GO LIL GO" t-shirts! How sweet!!!
We went down Lake Whittington and through a chute with jumping carp everywhere. They are a type of fish that jump straight up in the air because the sound of a boat motor agitates them. In fact, Gareth got hit by one on the way back in. Then suddenly the chute opens to the vista of the mighty Mississippi and you suddenly realize the danger of what I'm about to undertake. There are swirls and eddies everywhere and huge logs that have been uprooted and carried down the river and my first thought was, "Nicky what have we gotten ourselves into this time?"
We get to the "starting" point and Doug is asking me questions. I suppose I answered them, but I don't remember because the other side of my brain was working on strategy. Don't get me wrong, Doug wasn't imposing. I just don't remember what he asked. Then I asked for a moment alone with Rev. Steve White. I took communion right there by the river and he blessed me. We both were extremely emotional having both gone through our own ordeals, but I felt God with me more than I ever have before and I felt my determination build.
Then I had a moment of alone time. I listened to Nicky's favorite song, "You Raise Me Up" and thought of her. Mostly I thought of my children, and that if something happened to me, for them to please try to understand why I did what I was about to do and to feel proud and not angry. I hoped that they would tell my grandchildren about their brave (instead of crazy) grandmother who swam the river for a good cause. I thought about my husband who has been beside me every step and last but not least, I thought of my mother; praying that before she leaves this earth she would learn how to love unconditionally.
It was time to get in the water. I started swimming slowly and calmly. Everyone was really quiet and the longer I swam, the more personal it got. I thought of all of the people going through this horrible, unknown disease that were past the point of doing something like this; how they are the real heroes. They live and breathe everyday with hope and determination and go to meetings and appointments when they don't feel like it just to see if there are any new medications to make their lives easier.
About half way across I'm came crashing back to reality when something long and slimy wrapped around my leg and then slid off. If you ever see the documentary, you will see me roll onto my back and fall out laughing. Thank heavens I didn't look tasty enough for whatever that was!
Then just as great as I started out, everything changed. The water got choppy. I couldn't get my breath. I hit my inhaler, which seemed to do no good. I really thought I would have to give up. It was only another eighth mile but it looked like ten to me. I looked at my son and he said, "Mama, you've got it now." So I literally gritted my teeth, quit looking at the other side and swam...kinda like a runner who finds that last ounce of adrenaline at the end of a race.
The next thing I knew my hand hit that beautiful, wonderful mud of Arkansas!! And I burst into tears. Everyone in the boats was clapping and yelling. I haven't felt anything that joyous since I had my babies. Everything I had worked over a year for and all the support and help just came to THAT point, THAT moment and it all just came bursting out of me.
I was so pumped up on adrenaline that I didn't even know I was tired. All I could think about was if I could conquer the most powerful thing in our part of the country, I could conquer anything. There's still life left in me and I'm going to live it! My husband was crying right along with me, because as my caregiver it has been very rough on him too, maybe even more so.
Doug asked me some more questions that I must have answered, but do not remember, then we headed back to Lake Whittington. That's when Gareth got hit by the flying carp!
I slipped away long enough to get a much needed shower and a bottle of Champagne, then on to the "Revival." When I arrived, the "team" met me at the truck and then I was bombarded by clapping and hugs and congratulations from all of my close friends and children. I can't wait to see what they had to say when interviewed!!
The choir almost had a head-on collision en route to the revival and it shook them up so badly, they pulled over and prayed. Then when they met the lady who was to lead them out there, the van they were in broke down. Even with all the bad luck, when they did finally get there they were amazing. Nicky had wanted a choir at her funeral and she finally got one. They were everything we thought they would be.
By two o'clock I was a zombie. I could have laid on the ground and gone to sleep. My husband took me home and I went to bed at 4:30 p.m. and woke up the next morning at 6:30 a.m. And when I did wake up, I was sore from my head to my toes. But I was ecstatic! I yelled out three times to my husband in the den, "I swam the Mississippi River yesterday!!" I spent the day remembering every single little thing and saying my goodbyes to Nicky. I'll miss her for the rest of my life, but it's time to move on with my new friends and live what life I have left.
Thank you, PHA, for being there for me through every minute of this very emotional journey in my life. Y'all are the best!

Help & Advice
How to guides
How to build a shed base
A firm, level base should be the starting point for any shed or garden building. Without this the structure is likely to be assembled improperly - screw holes will not line up correctly, doors may not fit their doorways and the quality and service life of your shed could be greatly reduced.
Buying guides
Sheds and garden buildings buying guide
Sheds and garden buildings are really useful for storing things like bicycles, garden equipment and furniture, but they can also help you and your family make better use of your garden throughout the year by providing valuable extra space for living, working or playing.

Hilary Swank's rescue animals are like her children
Jun 15, 2010
Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank adopted both of her lovable pooches from an
animal rescue
shelter while on the set of a movie in South Africa, and she couldn't be happier to have them in her life,
Swank's love for animals doesn't just rest with her two dogs Rumi and Karoo - she also has two adopted parrots, Angel and Seuss.
"Animals just make my life so much richer," she told the news source. "It wouldn't be the same without my dogs."
Swank loves all animals, but snakes are where she draws the line. If she were to adopt another pet, she may consider a horse, but only if she has the land.
Many celebrities are huge animal lovers, with scores of them choosing to rescue creatures from local shelters. Their desire to
help animals
and provide them with loving homes may serve as an inspiration to others.
The Humane Society of the United States estimates that between six and eight million cats and dogs are cared for my rescue shelters every year.

A: It takes a village to raise a child, but there's only one real grandma in it. And you are that person. Your granddaughter will never mistake the other nannies for the genuine article, so have no worries.
That said, I do prefer that these names be exclusive to the actual relatives, but this is not in your control. Look at this way: Your granddaughter is mighty lucky to have a team of supportive women behind her.
Q: I was at a stage performance last weekend. As I was returning to my seat after intermission, a woman was standing in the aisle blocking my way over to the handrail as she was texting on her phone. I said, "Excuse me, please," and started to reach around her to the handrail. This self-centered, bottle-blonde witch huffed, "I'm waiting to go down the stairs," and turned her back to me again. This made me lose my balance and nearly fall. As I was shocked, shaken, and a lady, I said nothing, but I really wanted to tell her what train to take and how far to go. What would have been an appropriate response, other than tripping her on the way out?
A: Personally I like the tripping option. But the better idea would have been to invade her space a little. Imagine you're wielding a velvet hammer. Then explain to her that she needs to unblock the aisle and allow you and other folks access to the handrail. With someone like Blondie you have to puncture the bubble she's living in to get her attention.
There's no need to raise your voice or instigate a confrontation. You can still be a lady — an iron lady — even while teaching the most self-absorbed among us.
Q: I have a problem with my sister. We have always given gifts to each other and the kids over the years. But lately she has been forgetting our birthdays. As for me and my husband, that is fine, and I keep asking to stop with gifts, especially for the adults and maybe keep it going for the kids. She does not want to do that.
So, I have continued giving. When she forgets a birthday, she says "please remind me," and "I'm sorry." I do remind her that she has forgotten birthdays, and she always replies, "Thank you so much. I can't believe I forgot and will get them something soon." But she doesn't.
When I bring it up again that I want to stop gift giving — even at Christmas — she gets angry and then I feel bad. I love my sister, but I'm busy, too, yet I still remember the special days of our family. What do you suggest?
A: Things are rarely equal in relationships, so your sister probably won't change. Instead, it's up to you to change something. You have two options.
1. Stop letting this bother you and continue to give gifts for the joy of it, without needing anything in return.
2. Give no more gifts. Honor the birthdays with a thoughtful card or phone call. Perhaps Christmas can be the only time that gifts are exchanged.
Most importantly, remember that the deeply cherished things are never things. And the ultimate present is in just being present.

The MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles).
MMR vaccinations are given by injection in two doses:
Children traveling outside the United States should get the vaccine as early as 6 months of age. Those who remain in an area where disease risk is high should receive two additional doses: at 12 months and then at least 4 weeks later.
Measles, mumps, and rubella are infections that can lead to significant illness. More than 95% of children receiving MMR will be protected from the three diseases throughout their lives.
Serious problems such as allergic reactions are rare. Potential mild to moderate reactions include rash, fever, swollen cheeks, febrile seizures, and mild joint pain.
The vaccine is not recommended if:
Talk to your doctor about whether it's a good idea for your child to be vaccinated if he or she:
Your doctor may determine that the benefits of vaccinating your child outweigh the potential risks.
Pregnant women should not receive the MMR vaccine until after childbirth.
If a rash develops without other symptoms, no treatment is necessary and it should resolve within several days. Pain and fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your doctor to see if you can give either medication, and find out the appropriate dose.

Tetracycline-inducible shRNA systems allow you to tightly regulate the expression of functional short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) in mammalian cells in order to silence target genes and are especially useful in cases where suppression of a gene may be lethal.
There are three versions of Clontech's tetracycline-inducible shRNA technology:
The system is designed so that expression of an shRNA is induced when doxycycline (Dox; a tetracycline analog) is added to the culture medium.
The system relies on two components:
With all of our Inducible RNAi systems, knockdown of your target gene's expression can be detected within 24 hr of Dox addition, and maximum knockdown is typically seen within 48 hr. This rapid response is possible because transcription from PTightU6 is actively suppressed by tTS, rather than it being merely repressed by simple steric hindrance.
In contrast, other inducible expression systems relying on steric inhibition exhibit slow induction (up to several days) and may require pretreatment with Dox for 1–2 days prior to transfection to ensure that repression is fully alleviated. This can result in incomplete induction of shRNA (compared to repressor-free controls). Also, high levels of Dox (2–5 µg/ml) are often needed to ensure full displacement of the repressor, which may have deleterious effects on other cell functions. Our systems are sensitive to very low, nontoxic Dox concentrations (67% knockdown at 1 ng/ml).

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually given to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases.
There are no screening guidelines for cold sores.
A simple antibody blood test can show if you have been exposed to the herpes virus in the past. If you test positive, it means you could get a cold sore in the future. However, most people test positive for this virus. Therefore, this test is not very useful for screening purposes.

Specialty: Obstetrics/Gynecology
Urinary stress incontinence (SI), the most common type of incontinence experienced in women, occurs when an activity, such as coughing or even laughing, causes small amounts of urine to leak from the urethra. Women who have given birth are more likely to have SI. Other factors which increase the risk of developing SI include age, weight, menopause, a history of pelvic surgery, and smoking.
Urge incontinence is a less common form of incontinence. It is an involuntary loss of urine that occurs for no apparent reason while feeling a sudden need or urge to urinate. Incontinence today is very different than what it was decades ago. There are more options available to women, and I encourage you to have an open discussion with your physician to express your concerns. Your physician will be able to determine if you have SI or urge incontinence and address it accordingly, since treatment differs depending on diagnosis. Together, you and your physician will decide the best treatment plan for alleviating and eliminating symptoms to live a normal, active life.
Treatments include:
Kegel exercises, are easy to learn, simple to do, and can be done virtually anywhere. Here's how:

We are excited to offer the beautiful Quinta Pentatonic Flute. This is often the "recorder" or flute recommended for First Graders in Waldorf Schools. It was specially developed for use by young children 4-6 years old. It possesses a tone that sounds more like a voice than an instrument. The fingers gently touch the specially formed finger holds, which allow half steps to be achieved naturally by half-covering the holes. Treat your flute gently and oil it frequently. This is made of one piece of wood. Made in Sweden.
Product Specs (for music experts): Quinta Pentatonic Flute - A= 440 Hz. Pear wood, A= 440 Hz, 6 finger holes, range: d'-e'-g'-a'-h'-d'-e', Accessories: wooden cleaning swab, cotton flute bag. The Quinta Pentatonic Flute is a newly developed pentatonic flute made of maple wood without a tone block. It has a slightly stronger tone than those with a tone block and a very light articulation. The interval and pentatonic flutes were specially developed for use by children, particularly in groups.
The newly developed Quinta-Flute is light blowing, with very easy articulation and a clear transparent tone. With the newly designed labium and windway, no separate toneblock is needed.
All the Choroi flutes are characterized by a warm, light, flexible tone. Compared with traditional instruments, the Choroi flutes possess a tone that sounds more like a voice than an instrument.
This unique tone quality leads to a corresponding style of play. A free outbreathing, rather than an active blowing, forms the foundation for the tone. The mouth and lip positions also contribute to the tone formation. The fingers gently touch the specially formed finger holes, which allow half-steps to be achieved naturally by half-covering the holes.
All flutes are treated exclusively with linseed oil.
NOTE FROM SONYA: I am very often asked if you should buy the Pentatonic Flute with or without the tone block. There is just a slight sound difference between the two, not something most children would notice. If you select the one with the tone block, the tone block can break if/when the flute is dropped. Also, it is recommended the tone block be removed and oiled or replaced each year, so that is added "maintenance". If you want to keep life simple, you may want to select the flute without the tone block. Or, if your child is learning the flute in school, ask the music or class teacher which one they recommend.
NOTE ABOUT RETURNS: Because this is an item that goes in a person's mouth, for hygiene reasons, I cannot accept returns on it. If you have questions regarding the item please contact me either prior to ordering or immediately after you receive the flute.
"Sonya, Thank you so much for our wonderful package that came Soooooo fast! I gave my 4 1/2 year old daughter her flute today and she has already learned a song. She is so proud and happy. She can't wait for her Waldorf class to start in September. Thank you again for your wonderful store. I don't shop much, but when I do, I always look on your site first. Have a wonderful rest of your summer!
Mary, Annapolis, MD 7/22/2013"
