At a time when the Red Sox are searching almost exclusively for pitching reinforcements - both in the rotation and in the bullpen -- another problem has popped up.
For the last two weeks, the team's offense has sputtered. After going 100 games without having an opposing starter throw a nine-inning complete game against them, it's happened twice to the Red Sox in the span of the last three nights.
On Monday, Matt Moore went the distance in a shutout. On Wednesday night, teammate David Price needed just 97 pitches to beat the Red Sox, allowing a single run over nine innings.
Boston's starter Felix Doubront pitched well, allowing three earned runs in 6 2/3 innings. (Doubront had mostly himself to blame for those three runs, as he made an errant pickoff throw and failed to pay attention to two baserunners who successfully pulled off a double steal).
But he got little support from his lineup. The only Red Sox run came in the seventh when Mike Napoli took advantage of one of Price's rare miscues and cranked it into the Monster Seats for his third homer in the last four games.
For the Sox, this was a disturbing pattern re-emerging. In 17 of the last 21 games, Red Sox starters have limited the opposition to three runs or fewer. But in those 17 games, the Sox are just 10-7.
Shorten the sample size and, over the last 11 of the games in which Red Sox starters have allowed three runs or fewer, they're just 5-6.
"From our end," said Shane Victorino, "our starters have done a great job. They've kept us in ballgames. They've given us opportunities. We just haven't been able to (win)."
Teams can't afford to waste quality starts from their rotation. And yet, that's exactly what the Red Sox have been doing for the past few weeks, with Wednesday night being the most recent example...
And a costly loss it was, allowing the Rays to gain no worse than a split in the series while moving back to within a half-game of the Red Sox in the American League standings, with a chance to overtake them for first place with a win tonight.
Consider, too:
* In the last eight games, the Red Sox have scored two runs or fewer in five games.
* In the last nine games, the same team that leads the American League in runs scored has scored more than four runs in a game just twice.
Some of this offensive skid, of course, can be attributed to the strong pitching the Red Sox have run up against.
David Price's complete game Wednesday was third in his last four starts. Moore, his teammate, is one of the game's top lefties.
"Unfortunately," said Victorino, "the last two times we've faced these lefties, we haven't given our pitchers much run support. But that's part of the game."
Last Saturday, the Red Sox were handcuffed by Hiroki Kuroda, who entered the game with third-lowest ERA of any American League starter.
In Oakland, in the final series of the first half, the Red Sox managed just six runs in 29 innings. Perhaps that shouldn't have come as a big surprise, since the A's have the second-lowest ERA of any rotation in the league at 3.78.
"We've run up against some very good pitchers," said John Farrell. "Considering the two lefties in this series, Kuroda in the previous series, we've gotten the best this division offers and they've thrown the ball extremely well. The biggest thing is that they pitched ahead in the count, particularly when those three starters have been on the mound."
The Red Sox lineup is currently filled with slumping players.
Jose Iglesias is 3-for-21 since the All-Star break. Dustin Pedroia is just 2-for-23. Jarrod Saltalamacchia is 3-for-18. Stephen Drew is 1-for-12.
It's hard to put together any big innings when almost half of your lineup is hitting well under .200 in the first week of the second half.
More ominously, the Red Sox aren't grinding through at-bats the way they have most of the year. Price needed just over 10 pitches per inning on Wednesday, and Moore was nearly as efficient Monday night.
"Good pitching beats good hitting, right?" Victorino chided to a reporter, reverting to a baseball truism Wednesday night.
But right now, while the Red Sox search to add arms, their own good pitching is going to waste because of poor hitting.
McAdam: Red Sox bats have disappeared lately
At a time when the Red Sox are searching almost exclusively for pitching reinforcements - both in the rotation and in the bullpen -- another problem has popped up.

English 101: Sue the School
13 immigrant students file suit alleging that Abraham Lincoln High in Minneapolis failed to provide them with an adequate education. Results of a state investigation confirm problems at school.
Ibrahim Mumid was near tears Tuesday afternoon, describing how, despite his pleas for help, his hearing disability had been ignored during his four years at Lincoln High School. "I came to U.S. in 1999. In five years, no speak English, no write my name," Mumid, an Ethiopian immigrant, says in voice tinged with shame and bitterness, his lower lip quivering.
Today, after being "aged out"--told his was too old to stay in school despite not having completed sufficient work to earn his diploma--the 24-year old Mumid has a hearing aid and continues working to acquire the basic knowledge required for him to function effectively in this country. "I am going to library. They teach me, library," he says.
Mumid is one of 13 immigrant students who filed a civil complaint against Lincoln, alleging that his human rights were violated because he did not receive an adequate education as required by state and federal laws. Also named in the lawsuit were the Institute for New Americans, the nonprofit entity that operates the private school, and the Minneapolis Public Schools, which has contracted Lincoln to educate approximately 300 newly arrived immigrants of high school age in the district each year.
In June, the Minnesota Department of Education delivered the results of its investigation of Lincoln High to MPS Superintendent Thandiwe Peebles. The "Findings of Fact" noted in the MDE report buttress many of the claims made in the students' lawsuit.
Specifically, the MDE investigation discovered that just 17 percent of the students at Lincoln passed the Minnesota Basic Standards Test over the past three years, compared to a 40 percent pass rate for ELL (english language learner) students throughout the district. Over the past three years, Lincoln has identified just one student as requiring special education services, and has less than one percent of its population utilizing those services. According to the MDE report, the state average is 12.5 percent. "Based on the numbers alone, it is apparent that SLHS does not have a system in place designed to identify students with disabilities," says the report.
"The lawsuit challenges the practice of the Minneapolis School District of using Abraham Lincoln High School as a warehouse for immigrant high school aged students," says David Shulman, one of the lawyers representing the immigrants, at a press conference at MPS headquarters Tuesday afternoon. "Students sat in mainstream classrooms for years, not understanding what was being said, or what was being taught....With this lawsuit, the students are seeking to get an education and to bring to an end the grossly negligent, unlawful management of this school."
Later on Tuesday, MPS legal counsel Allen Giles and Lincoln High Executive Director Joel Gibson held their own press conference at Lincoln to rebut the charges. This turned into a small disaster when it was quickly revealed that not only hadn't either Giles nor Gibson read the details of the lawsuit (understandable, since it had been filed just hours earlier), but both men also said they hadn't read the state's three-month old investigative report.
After the press conference, MPS representative Mary Berry clarified that the state's investigative report was a preliminary report, not a final report, and in that distinction the confusion was sown. The implication was that Giles and/or Gibson had read the "preliminary" report, or at least were aware of it. Maybe so, but the "preliminary" report was a single-spaced, 13-page document detailing nine specific areas requiring corrective action at the school, and the school's executive director was obviously not conversant with the details of any of it. On the contrary, Gibson began disputing the points of another, unrelated report, involving a lack of textbooks and teacher licensure, neither of which was mentioned by the state.
Berry, however, is aware of the state's report. "We immediately began addressing the points and gathering the data they have asked us for. I am sure they will issue their final report in the near future," she says.
Asked for the state's reaction, Amy L. Roberts, director of the MDE's division of compliance and assistance, and the author of the "preliminary" report, directed City Pages to the MDE communications office, which in turn faxed over a four-page progress report on four meetings between representatives from the state and the school district, the last on July 27. At this point in time, at least, very little has been done to resolve the state's concerns. In at least one case, the state had still not received the baseline data it had requested in June on present levels of student performance at the school. Plans to implement a "pre-referral system" to strengthen special education screening was still in its nascent stages. And it was already agreed that two of the corrective actions called for in the state's preliminary report would be postponed for months. Meanwhile, the district has not offered a significant rebuttal to the disturbing numbers and patterns of behavior contained in the state's report. A final consensus on how to resolve the concerns raised by the state's investigation has not been achieved. Lincoln High School continues to operate. And Ibrahim Mumid learns to read and write at the library.

Walt Disney Home Entertainment ups the LILO & STITCH ante with a new DVD board game, LILO & STITCH'S ISLAND OF ADVENTURES ($29.99), available Nov. 11, 2003. In keeping with the home entertainment division's "immersive" theme, the DVD provides nearly 60 minutes of new content that expands the home theater family experience.
LILO & STITCH'S ISLAND OF ADVENTURES is a Disney first. The DVD works in conjunction with the board game to give players randomized choices that allow unpredictable game play, so families can play over and over again without repetition. There are no lost dice in LILO & STITCH'S ISLAND OF ADVENTURES. Players use their remote control to spin the onscreen spinner and advance along the playing board. Players interact with favorite and new characters from Disney's beloved animated film. They'll race around the game board in a quest to capture Stitch's lost cousins, while playing dynamic on-screen games, singing, dancing and having fun. Contains 10 onscreen games, 10 activities, two full-length adventures, 200 virtual mystery cards, tropical environments and disasters.
The game features original music and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, to bring the lush, tropical sights and sounds of the Hawaiian Islands right into the family room. In LILO & STITCH'S ISLAND OF ADVENTURE, Stitch's fellow experiments have been accidentally freed and are wreaking havoc in Hawaii. Lilo has set out after them but she can't capture them all by herself, and if Nani finds out what happened, she's in big trouble. Luckily, David (your narrator) knows the path she took and is sending YOU and your fellow players after Lilo to help her collect the experiments. You'll experience the sights and sounds of the island and receive surprise visits from special guests, who may help (or hinder) your progress as you race to the finish line. Crossing the finish line first doesn't guarantee victory. You must collect the most experiments to win, but don't let Nani find out.

Details about what happened to the three men in the end are not entirely clear, and no one at State was willing to provide any facts about the incident. What is clear, though, is that the three didn't get anywhere near Crawford, but were also spared the "embarrassment" of arrest. And the House of Saud was spared an "international incident." That normally staid bureaucrats engaged in incredible acrobatics to bail out three guys who never should have been in the United States in the first place says a great deal about State's "special relationship" with the Saudis.
While many critics of the repressive Saudi regime like to target President Bush and his oil ties as the culprit of the overly cozy relationship, the roots actually go much deeper. It's the small favors that are done every day—decisions made far below the President's pay grade—that truly define the relationship.
That is how you can have three Saudis get special protection, preventing the FBI from doing its job. That is also how you can have American children kidnapped from American parents and taken to the desert prison—and the State Department does nothing to help recover them.
Though it cannot be said that U.S. diplomats do favors for the Saudis in the hopes of lucrative payoffs later on, the Saudis reward those officials who were kind to them while working for the State Department. Scads of former State Department officials now either work directly for the Saudis or for organizations that take Saudi petrodollars.
The Saudis think it is money well spent. Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi ambassador the United States, once said, "If the reputation then builds that the Saudis take care of friends when they leave office, you'd be surprised how much better friends you have who are just coming into office."
Middle East Forum President Daniel Pipes recently suggested banning former diplomats from receiving Saudi cash, thereby hopefully lessening the pervasive Saudi influence. It's by no means a panacea, but it seems as good as any place to start.

A recent study has revealed that nearly one in five nonprofits publish Social Security numbers (SSNs) on public tax documents, The Chronicle of Philanthropy reports. Conducted by a security and privacy software company, the study analyzed more than three million tax returns--Form 990s--submitted between 2001 and 2006 and found that approximately 132,000 charities published at least one SSN on their tax forms, the report states. A majority of the SSNs belonged to donors, trustees, employees, directors and scholarship winners. The chief executive of the company that conducted the survey said, "Given the seriousness and ubiquity of identity fraud, tax preparers should avoid including" SSNs on Form 990s.

--- by Erastos Filos, DG CONNECT, Coordinator Intelligent Manufacturing Systems/ICT for Factories of the Future.
Following a roundtable [3] between Commission Vice-President Neelie Kroes [4], and key industrialists in March the Commission has not only launched its Cloud Strategy [5] on 27 September 2012. It also actively supports Cloud Computing by a dedicated call for application experiments [6] that aim to facilitate the uptake of Cloud-based design and simulation services by manufacturing SMEs.
Under the Factories of the Future initiative [7] the Commission offers funding via its ICT Programme [8]. The goal is to create a network of specialist centres that will work with software developers to make on-demand design and simulation services available to SMEs.
"These centres can help SMEs design products, make manufacturing lean and efficient, and to manage the product lifecycle. Rather than build a large number of prototypes they will be able to produce cheaper digital mock-ups of products", Max Lemke [9], Deputy Head of the Complex Systems & Advanced Computing unit at DG CONNECT, told Computer Weekly [10] earlier this year.
The centres will provide advice to SMEs on how they can use supercomputers to solve business and engineering problems, and will offer the access to computing resources on a pay-as-you go basis. They will be networked together so that if a local centre does not have the solution an SME needs, advisors will be able to draw on expertise from other centres across Europe.
The activity also aims to encourage specialist software suppliers to move from expensive annual software licensing contracts, to pay-as-you-go services that smaller companies will be able to afford to use, as they need them.
Experts foresee significant productivity gains for the manufacturing industry in Europe through the use of Cloud-based services and SMEs are key stakeholders in this endeavour.

The Primorje-Gorski Kotar County region
Kvarner bay is situated on the north part of Adriatic Sea, with Rijeka as a main town. Rijeka is very close to transport route that connects Croatia with other European countries. For example, coming from Vienna takes only a few hours, so it is ideal holiday destination for short weekend as well as for extended family holidays. The entire region is dedicated to tourism and even demanding tourists can find plenty of interesting events and activities throughout the whole year.
Each season in Rijeka provides a particular kind of entertainment: sports, music, drama, gastro events... The most popular are International Carnival Parade, sailing regatta Fiumanka that takes place on the route from Rijeka to Omišalj and back, Rijeka Summer Nights when Rijeka's squares, streets and terraces become a theatre scene, street race "Homo si tec", The International Small Scenes Theatre Festival, etc.
Perhaps the most significant characteristic of the Kvarner Bay lies in the fact that in this relatively small area you can in just one day meet sea and mountain climate. In winter you can ski on the nearby ski resort Platak with unique view of the sea or, in a hot summer, you can find pleasant climate in forests and nearby mountains.
The island of Krk is the northernmost island in the Mediterranean, situated in the Kvarner Bay. It is the largest island in the Adriatic. It has interesting shapes of stone, caves (Biserujka near Dobrinj) sinkholes and cracks. The central part of the island is full of fertile fields. The coast is long, with many bays, coves and sandy beaches.
Island of Krk is because of his characteristics in ancient times assigned name Golden Island.
The traditional way of life is linked to the sea (fishing, seafaring, shipbuilding), agriculture and livestock especially sheep farming, and this retained till today.
Whenever you come, you will always be welcomed by the kindness of the local population, as well as the excellent traditional food.
Baška has the characteristics of Mediterranean climate, pleasant springs, hot summers with little rainfall, mild autumn and windy winters. During the summer months, sea temperature rises up to 25 ° C, and the swimming season lasts from May to October. In Baška winds are the ones that mark certain seasons, mostly there is bura wind dominated in winter, south wind in spring and autumn, and the summer breeze called maestral in summer.
Interesting fact is that the the most beautiful month with stable weather is July (the warmest and sunniest). September is the enjoyable weather of late summer and early fall. Middle monthly temperature is average of 20 ° C, the heat does not miss, and it is still pleasant for swimming.
Also it is important mention that Baška has 2500 sunny hours per year.
In the spring and summer, you can go to the swimming and diving, skiing on the sea or windsurf, play tennis, go take a walk on the hiking trails, climb rocks, or go kayaking. In autumn and winter, those activities are not so available, but you can always go hiking on beautiful trails around Baška.
In Jurandvor (near Baška) was in 1100. created birth certificate of Croats – Baš?anska plo?a. Baš?anska plo?a is a national monument of the Croatian people. It represents glagolitic inscription, carved and sculptured in 13 lines of text talking about deed of gift to Croatian people by King Zvonimir.
Everywhere on the island, you can try traditional cuisine - šurlice in lamb goulash, cake Presnac, cheese and you can make a toast with a fine-grown wine Žlahtina from Vrbnik.
Sopile folk instrument is an ancient wind instrument, which is now an integral part of island festivities, often associated with religious holidays.
In Baska sopile you can hear on the ceremony of Baška's wedding representing the folk expression of popular wedding customs that are organized in Baška from far 1972 and the last time 2010th year. Baška's wedding includes all the ancient customs of proposal, preparation for the wedding, blessing of parents, the wedding it's self and folk festival. Except of this ceremony you can attend on fishermens days, folklore ''Zasopimo, zatancajmo'' or Baška cultural summer event, which includes a variety of events and concerts.
Hopefully you were attracted to Krk and I hope to see you in Baska during the sunny days.

|Website: Hop River State Park Trail
The Hop River State Park Trail is a rail trail in eastern Connecticut.[2] The trail is approximately 19 miles (31 km) long and runs along a former railroad line from Colonial Drive in Manchester to the Willimantic River at the Columbia/Windham town line, just west to Willimantic, Connecticut. It is owned and operated by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). Upgrades and basic maintenance are done by local town forces in coordination with the DEEP and community volunteer groups.
Though open to the public for its entire length, different sections of the trail are in different stages of development. Some sections are complete and have a finished, stone-dust surface and signage. Other sections have been cleared and had drainage work done, but still have a somewhat rough, unfinished surface that is not suitable for road bikes.
Until recently[when?] there had been many obstructions along the trail in the form of missing or unsafe bridges, especially on the eastern end of the trail in Coventry and Columbia. Most of these bridges have been repaired or replaced in the last couple of years by the state, towns, and local volunteers. There is now only one crossing (the eastern Hop River bridge in Columbia, CT ) that is incomplete and requires a short detour.
The following is a section by section description of the trail's current conditions, as of July 2014.
Colonial Road, Manchester to the western Hop River bridge at Columbia/Coventry town line: This long section of the trail, including the entire section of trail in the towns of Manchester, Vernon, Bolton and Andover has been completed. Drainage has been improved, signage installed, bridges built, parking lots built, and solid stone-dust surface installed. This is the best section of the trail to be completed so far and has long sections through parklands with no crossroads. The East Coast Greenway (ECG) section is from Bolton Notch East.
Western Hop River bridge at Columbia/Coventry town line to Kings Road, Coventry (all ECG): This section has been cleared and had drainage improvements, and has some finished surface installed. It is suitable for mountain bikes and horses, but a bit rough for street bikes.
Kings Road, Coventry to Flanders River Road, Columbia (all ECG): This section of trail is not passable due to a bridge over the Hop River that has not been renovated for trail use. The existing rail bridge is not safe to cross. There are no plans or funds to improve this bridge. Trail traffic can follow a short detour around this by following Kings Road to Flanders River Road and rejoining the trail after crossing the river on the road bridge.
Flanders River Road, Columbia to Willimantic River (all ECG): This section is open, but has not yet been developed or improved. It is passable by hikers and mountain bikes, but not street bikes. This is a very short section, as the Willimantic River bridge is not passable due to a deteriorated deck and is blocked off. Trail traffic must leave the rail bed at the former roadside picnic area and come out on parallel Route 66. The other side of the bridge is an active railroad line, preventing a rail trail from extending into Willimantic. The bridge was structurally evaluated by DOT, as noted in a Hartford Courant article (11/4 2014), but no funds are currently available to re-surface it for trail use. Te ECG trail to Willimantic is routed on-road along Route 66 across the river to downtown Willimantic.
Access points[edit]
The trail crosses the following roads, providing access:
- Colonial Drive, Manchester - parking area
- Taylor Street, Vernon
- Elm Hill Road, Vernon
- Dobson Road, Vernon
- Church Street / Phoenix Street, Vernon - parking area
- Tunnel Road, Vernon - parking area
- Bolton Notch State Park (off US Route 44), Bolton - parking area
- Steeles Crossing Road, Bolton - parking area
- Bailey Road, Andover
- Burnap Brook Road, Andover - parking area
- Monument Lane, Andover - parking at Andover History Museum
- Wales Road, Andover - parking area
- Shoddy Mill Road, Andover - parking area
- Center Street, Andover
- Lake Road, Andover- parking area
- Parker Bridge Road, Columbia
- Hop River Road, Columbia - parking area
- Kings Road, Coventry - parking area
- Flanders River Road, Columbia
- Old Route 66 rest area, Columbia - limited parking
The following roads cross the trail via over- or under-passes and do not provide access:
- Notch Road, Bolton
- Route 316, Andover (access via Monument Lane adjacent to trail, 300 feet up, instead)
- US Route 6, Andover
- Merritt Valley Road, Andover
- Pucker Street, Coventry (Bike/walk in access)
The trail safely crosses the US Route 6 expressway in Coventry via an underpass.
A stream restoration project with signage is located about 4 miles (6.4 km) from the Vernon trailhead. It is just north of where the trail goes under U.S. Route 44 at Bolton Notch in Bolton Notch State Park.
The eastern half of the trail at Bolton Notch State Park will connect to the Charter Oak Greenway going towards Manchester and Hartford. The eastern terminus of the trail is planned to eventually connect to the Air Line State Park Trail. The Charter Oak Greenway, Air Line State Park Trail, and the Hop River State Park Trail will be pieces of the East Coast Greenway (ECG), a trail linking major cities from Maine to Florida. The ECG in Connecticut runs from Rhode Island across to Hartford, down to New Haven and over to New York.

This is just an organized jumble of the WIP images of some icons. Feel free to drag it into paint or photoshop and zoom in or whatever. That's a very helpful way to improve. Just DONT USE ANYTHING HERE FOR YOURSELF other than in a learning process please.
Hope this helps someone.
Hope this helps someone.
looks awesome! c:
Awesome! In which canvas size do you draw the sketch/lineart?? c:
I don't start in a specific size. Sketching in a square canvas gives me anatomy problems and artblock xD I just sketch in something with plenty of space.
Ooooh ok! xDD Just asking that cuz I always draw icons on a 100x100 canvas, but when I resize it to 50x50 it gets all screwed up D': aspecially when I pixel an icon..
your style is just awesome ;;
I usually start doing the avatar at its final size 8D
maybe thats why I suck at doing icons :V
but your avys ARE THE CUTEST EVER <3 ♥
I usually start doing the avatar at its final size 8D
maybe thats why I suck at doing icons :V
but your avys ARE THE CUTEST EVER <3 ♥
Yeahh thats what a lot of people do. I think it's really tough to do it that way haha
and thanks!
and thanks!
This is super helpful! 8D What size do you usually start the sketches at?
I find it easier to not start at a given size. If I start at like 500x500, I tend to try and fill the box as much as I can which leads to wonky anatomy. It also doesn't look as natural. But thats just me personally, I'm sure it works for some people
Ooh, I see~ I've run into that problem. Hmm, I think you've given me many much ideas to try now. 8D Thanks!
This is really useful 8D
AWWWW <33 ;U; Soo cute omg <3
This tempts me to have a go at making my own.
You should! Its actually pretty simple
I triiiiied.. *has new icon*
Its just nowhere near the same quality as your pixel work. I was never destined to be a pixel artist.
May just have to commish you when you're open next
It looks really good pffft! I've never tried fitting anthro things into a 50x50 space but yours fits crazy well. It doesn't look cramped or anything like most humanesque icons

Oh no are you leaving for Facebook as well
Hope to see you son Skype soon
Like I said in my journal, I remember when deviantART was about art
True, maybe I am overreacting. I recently saw someone leave dA, whom I really cared about. I typed quite a long story, telling why her sudden decision astonished me, but that I respect her decision, and that I will miss her, and wish her the best in her future modelling career. I have been supporting this person for 4 years, and all I got back was "You are being rude".
In short, I hate Facebook, for it is the proverbial big truck people just dump something on, for craving attention. And if you "like" anything, that information is sold for targeted advertising. Maybe I will do a blog post someday, listing the numerous reasons why I will never have Facebook.
Lots of people leave dA for Facebook simply just because they are not getting enough attention any more. I am therefore worried when an intelligent person like you says the benefits outweigh the costs. I was afraid you were going to leave; I am glad that is not the case. At least you are doing it like most professionals do (who have Facebook because they need to make money with their art), posting your art on dA, and background info/promotional pics/concept art etc. on the non-sophisticated social networks.

Isaiah Whitehead is only a freshman, but he's already drawing interest from colleges.
North Carolina is currently courting the Lincoln high schooler, extending a scholarship offer.
"A lot of [NBA] players came out of there like Michael Jordan, Vince Carter," said Whitehead. "I'm real excited."
The Tar Heels aren't the only ones intrigued. St. John's coach Steve Lavin has spoken with Rambert a few times to express his admiration for the 6-foot-4 Whitehead's versatile skill set and Syracuse associate head coach Mike Hopkins did the same recently, Whitehead's uncle, Warren Rambert said.
Though the offers are telling, they aren't binding and Whitehead doesn't plan to commit to a school until the summer after his junior year at the earliest anyway.
"It makes me feel good, but I know I still have to keep working and I can get some more schools," said Whitehead.

Oatmeal Raisin Muffins
Look for untoasted wheat germ in the organic food section of your supermarket. Adding boiling water to the batter and allowing it to sit for 15 minutes before baking allows the hearty oats, wheat germ, and bran to soak up the liquid for a more tender muffin.
For baby: Serve 1/2 to 1 cooled muffin.

Hubby and I cannot wait to meet our little girl, Miss Honor Hux.
Have had some trouble thinking of a middle name, although we haven't had much time to do research this month (: We love names that are different, unique and kind of quirky. A professor of mine in college named her girls Delaney and Franklyn. It is this kind of "different" that I love!
The only MN we've discussed so far is "Adele." So, Honor Adele Hux. But we're still very open!
Ideas are very much appreciated.

You step inside a life of a man who steals for living and is hunted by City guards. And who has lost his light in the darkness. His wife. Rikhard is a thief. He gets certain objects for his clients. But after the murder of his wife by a hitman hired by an angry man who was robbed by Rikhard, he got depressed and started drinking. Lost the house and moved to the miserable hideout in the allies. Not doing big jobs anymore, he's doing his living by picking pockets. But then, he wakes up to a knock on his door. A note left under the door inviting Rikhard to his house for a job.The note was sent by his good friend and a client, Thomas. This custom story is heavily inspired by Thief-game series.
The idea behind this mod is interesting, the problem is that the execution just wasn't great. Much of the gameplay is stealth based, with you sneaking around past guards to steal various items. The problem is that the guards are just the suits of armor from Amnesia, with slight modifications. This means that they can't move, and never really act like real people, so I never felt like there was any challenge to the sneaking.
Another problem is that there are invisible walls all over the place in this map, and many times I can't really see why. They just make the mod a little bit more difficult to play, and for the wrong reasons. There's other minor problems, such as a lamp that you cannot use, a complete lack of enemies (even though monsters are not mentioned), and some voice acting that occasionally gets drowned out by the game's music.
Still, in spite of this it does have some very good qualities. As I said, it does have a rather original concept behind it, and the atmosphere during some of the creepier parts is excellent. The problem is that there's just very little challenge to the game, along with some other nagging issues.
Theres no challenge to the sneaking, its not scary and not particularly funny with the bumbling guards. Its a mod trying to give us a unique experience with inspiration from the Thief games, problem is Amnesia's constraints are evidence here. Theres animations to the NPC's, they are just suits of armor that don't move or act. If you want to have a great thiefing experience then play the thief games and stay away from this ****. Theres other issues like the story not being particularly good, with the so called powerful monster being stopped by a lone thief, invisible walls and uninspiring level design.

French Open - Organisers defend drab Sunday line-up
Sun, 22 May 19:13:00 2011
French Open organisers have defended their decision not to put the game's top players into action on the opening Sunday at Roland Garros.
Crowds were sparse on the opening day of the year's second Grand Slam, and former finalist Sam Stosur admits that it is difficult adjusting to a tournament that starts a day earlier than its counterparts.
"With all the others not doing it (starting on Sunday), it definitely is a bit of, not a shock, but it's just weird knowing that, okay, my tournament starts on Sunday and then I think you get two days off now," she said.
"So it's just a bit of a different feel, and I guess there's still a lot more people here practising today than playing matches."
None of the top six seeds in the men's draw were scheduled to play on Sunday, with Stosur the highest seeded player in action in the women's draw.
"We try to protect players who went far in the tournaments leading up to Roland Garros," French federation's competitions director Christophe Fagniez said.
"And this may affect some top names even if they were not playing. For instance, Rafael Nadal v John Isner would have been great to kick off the tournament, but Isner was in action in Duesseldorf until late in the week.
"In the women's draw, Wozniacki and Schiavone were playing in Brussels."
Eurosport expert Mats Wilander criticised the weak Sunday line-up, however, claiming that fans should have been offered a discount considering the relative paucity of top-level talent on display in his exclusive video blog:

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

Minnesota Mix: Best Friends Forever
Best Friends Forever
Romance Conflict Adventure
Plan-It-X Records
The most obvious thing to say about Best Friends Forever is that they sound like they're having fun. Centered on the long-lasting friendship of songwriters Briana Smith and Jessica Seamans, the music is rich with a sense of genuine joyfulness. Cute, cheerful, and unabashedly ramshackle, the group first made a splash on the local scene with the release of their self-titled debut in 2004. That album's standout track was "My Head in Front of Your Head." A love note to Abraham Lincoln with an instantly catchy chorus and lyrics as smart as they were silly, it had every element of a classic college-radio hit.
On Romance Conflict Adventure, the girls and their new drummer (Joe Rand) have laid down at least three tracks that successfully follow up on the magic of that song, the most conspicuous being "Eisenhower Is the Father." Another infectious tribute to a former president with quirky lyrics and heartfelt sincerity, it's a love song thanking him for his role in creating the interstate highway system, the background for a true love experience. Who knew it was Ike who put the bop in the bop she-bop she-bop?
While the album may be a little front-heavy, with standout tracks "Handpocket," "Ghost Song," and "Eisenhower" all occurring in the first half of the disc, there aren't any throwaways. Witty, cuddly, and undeniably funny, Romance Conflict Adventure captures BFF's lyrical potency as much as their rare bond in melodious harmony.

Since Google is pushing us to use manifest v2 with all its security stuff in Chrome extensions, I cannot use Google Visualization (its graphs specifically), because of error "Invalid JSON string". I believe it must be another bug, but the error message is just wrong.
According to Visualization API Reference, second parameter is optional, but when I don't pass it to the draw method, the error goes Invalid JSON string: "{}". Otherwise whole JSON options object is printed as invalid, so there is definetely no error in it. If you have any more doubts about it - it works with no problems with manifest v2.
If you have any thoughts and ideas about this issue, please share them with me.

I want to join these two table but the join key of the second table is in a query string,
page table,
page_id url
1 a
2 c
3 d
system table,
system_id query
1 page_id=1&content=on&image=on
2 type=post&page_id=2&content=on
as you can see that
page_id is part of the query string in
system table.
so how can I join them like the standard joining table method below?
FROM page AS p
LEFT JOIN system AS s
ON p.page_id = s.page_id
I def can change the
system table into something like this,
system_id page_id query
1 1 page_id=1&content=on&image=on
2 2 type=post&page_id=2&content=on
3 NULL type=page
But the reason why I don't want to do this is that the
page_id is no need for many certain records. I don't want make a column with too many

PATRICK-JAMES'-BLOG-HAS-MOVED!January 25, 2008
Patrick James-ism…December 26, 2007
I am Patrick James… Thank you for visiting my new blog! It is a pleasure to get your visit.
For some time now I have been the writer for the ISM Blog (Irish School of Motoring's Blog). In keeping with my huge interest in cars the ISM Blog covers everything car and driving related, but my passions don't just end there! Thing is… for a while now, people have been telling me I should also have my own personal blog. My background has always been in writing and literature, having had three poetry books published and I have missed that a little bit lately… talking about writing!
But… I hope the Patrick James Blog will be a bit more that just limited to one topic. The things I'm mad about include technology, gadgets, sci-fi and I love films and cinema also, so maybe I'll get a chance to talk about all that also… I know the Blog may get a bit eclectic but I hope I will get to demonstrate the common thread between the things I'm passionate about! Hopefully, it will make for an enjoyable and honest blog for writers and petrol-heads alike and for anyone who knows what it means to feel passionate about something… whether it is a film scripts or the latest gadgets… I think you get the point! So, I only hope you will visit me again and see what I have been up to with my new blog!
Thank you,
Patrick James.

Anti Drink Driving….November 28, 2007
In line with the launch of the RSA's Anti Drink Driving campaign on Thursday 29th November, I would like to issue my own personal appeal to people this Christmas, even though it has all been said before… Please be cool about leaving the car at home and do enjoy the festivities. Make the decision not to drink and drive while you still can, when you can ensure a difference… Let's be honest, it is easy to overestimate one's own abilities, when you've had a beer or two. No one sets out to drink drive and if the car keys are in your pocket, who knows what you can end up thinking with a few drinks… and it's not far from there to becoming a drink driving statistic! So please be safe and enjoy the few beers without having to worry about the danger creeping up on you!
I've also added a link to a very cool website drinkaware.ie where you'll find some very interesting information on safely enjoying a drink.

New Taxi And Hackney StandardsNovember 27, 2007
RTÉ News are reporting on new taxi guidelines:
The Taxi Regulator has published new vehicle standard guidelines, which she says will improve the standard of the Small Public Service fleet.
Kathleen Doyle says the primary aim of the new guidelines is to improve the standard but also comfort and safety for drivers and passengers.
Under the guidelines new taxis and hackneys cannot be more than nine years old.
Small cars not capable of seating four adults are no longer permitted.
However drivers have until January 2010 to comply with the new guidelines.
A range of guidelines for wheelchair accessible vehicles has also been published, but these do not have to be adhered to until 2012.

Wooden It Be Nice!November 26, 2007
Last week we showed you photos of a Mazda made from clay… we've also had pictures of Cardboard Astons. This week I have discovered a handcrafted wooden car on Carscoop and can only imagine the dedication this work of art took!
Vasily Lazarenko from Chernovtsy, Ukraine, decide to craft half the body of his hand built vehicle with a retro look and the other half with a more modern styling. The Ukrainian woody car is built on a chassis and engine from a 1981 Opel model with a 100 HP engine. Although the car isn't registered (wonder why…), Lazarenko admits that he has taken the car out for the occasional spin. All I have to say is that I'm never touching a bottle of Vodka for the rest of my life….

Easy to apply and works fantastic
May 7, 2015
I bought a 2012 Mustang Convertible with a Black Vinyl top. It looked very dingy, and brown. I was a little apprehensive about cleaning and treating, because I didn't want to cause any streaks. My fears were unfounded. Ragg Topp was easy to use, and turned my brown top, back to brand new looking Black. I used the included brush with the cleaner. My wife was caught in a thunderstorm, and the water beaded up, and did not soak into the top, like it did previously. I did get some overspray on the windows and paint, but it wiped off easily with a microfiber. In the photo you can see the brown that was there before cleaning and treating.
Pros:Works great, hardly any elbow grease.
Cons:Would apply easier in an aerosol.

Good Deal
April 27, 2015
I researched this product and found it to be highly rated among the others on the market so I took the chance at purchasing it, I'm very pleased I did, warning to the wise, the protectant has only enough product in it for three application. Works great clean roof! The car will never intentionally see rain so I can not comment on it's beading effect but it really brought out the color.
Cons:Thought you should get more for the money.

Cleans and Protects
November 17, 2014
This RaggTop kit came highly recommended. I made sure to follow the instructions and to have the top wet prior to cleaner application. After applying the cleaner, I used the horse hair brush the entire top surface. It did a great job cleaning the top. After allowing the top to dry, I sprayed top protectant evenly - Looks great.
Pros:Easy application Good UV and Water Protection

This is the second time I have purchased and used this product. I have also purchased it as gifts for friends. It is recommended by the top convertible top manufacturers and BMW which is good enough for me. It cleans and restores my top to look like brand new. Period.Rain water beads off the top and Part II the protectant guards form UV rays that fade. It's an expensive product but you get what you pay for.
Pros:Convenient, works extremely well, easy to use, comes recommended by manufacturers.

Ragg Topp fabric Convertible Top Cleaner & Protectant Kit Works Great!
August 7, 2013
I recently used these products on my fabric convertible top. I have a 2007 Porsche Boxster in pristine condition but the top was just not up to my standards. I was very pleased with the out come of the top after using the RaggTopp products. My wife even commented on how much better the top looks after using the cleaner and protectant. Very pleased in North Eastern Pa.
Pros:Easy to use! Great results.
Cons:No Dislikes.

The cleaner works wonderfully. I had no idea how dirty my top was till I used this product. The Protectant really makes water bead up on the top. My only complaint is with the brush. It sheds terribly.
Pros:Cleaner works great Protectant really protects
Cons:Brush sheds like a cat in spring

Ragg Topp care
June 4, 2013
The items received were easy to use and applied easier. Now that I have conditioned my top, I can only hope that it will not start raining as it did before I got the chance to congidition it. This is my first convertible and I wish to keep the top in good conditions, because of the cost to replace one. Thanks , and I will recommend your product to others. Around at the local stores, car parts, even Wal-Mart they only carry the conditioner , not the cleaner. Again thanks.
Pros:Easy of use
