For the first time in 15 regular-season months, the Phillies will finish with a losing record. They guaranteed a losing April -- their first since 2007 -- with Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs.
Before Sunday, the Phillies (10-12) hadn't had a losing month in the regular season since June 2009, when they went 11-15.
"The bats will get going. It's early," pitcher Kyle Kendrick said. "We've been through struggles like this before and the bats have come through. It's a long season. I think the guys will start swinging it and we'll be fine."
Despite a bounce-back effort from Kendrick, who was knocked out before recording an out in the fourth inning in his previous start, the offense continued to struggle in the absence of All-Stars Ryan Howard and Chase Utley, who both began the season on the disabled list.
The Phillies had just one hit Sunday before Hunter Pence legged out a two-out, infield single in the ninth inning of Chicago closer Carlos Marmol. The Phils have scored two runs or less in 12 of their 22 games.
"We didn't hit a ball hard," manager Charlie Manuel said. "I expect us to score runs and I expect us to hit balls hard. But if we don't hit the ball hard . . . at times, you can have some luck hits and things can go your way. At the same time, you've got to hit some balls hard in the game, consistently move the ball a little bit, especially at the major league level."
After finishing up a four-game series with the Cubs on Monday, the Phils will hit the road for six games against two of the teams ahead of them in the National League East, the Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals. Following Sunday's defeat, Manuel was asked if it has been difficult for his team to "keep their heads above water" with the current injury-ravaged lineup.
"I don't know if we're keeping our head above water; I feel like we're treading water," Manuel said. "I feel like we've got to play a lot better. We can't get far behind."

When you find a groovy tune , it's a tough task to turn the dial down below ear shattering levels, and if that statement needed any quantifiable proof, it now has it. According to a study for the European Union, personal music players are threatening permanent hearing loss for as many as 10 million Europeans.
A team of nine experts on the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks conducted the study and warned that most young people aren't aware of the damage until years after it's already done.
"Regularly listening to personal music players at high-volume settings when young often has no immediate effect on hearing but is likely to result in hearing loss later in life," the report said.
Listening to music for just five hours a week at high-volume settings can expose your ears to more noise than permitted in the loudest factory or workplace, and if you have a particularly good set of headphones, cranking up the volume to its highest setting can punish your hears as much as the sound of an airplane taking off.
The new study is one of just several to warn of long-term hearing loss among today's youth, but the older generation might be just as susceptible. Some estimates put the total number of EU residents listening to portable music players at anywhere from 50 million to 100 million out of a total population of 500 million.
If you can't avoid the temptation to avoid cranking up the volume, you might consider investing in crappier music.

Elder Scrolls Party by EonixaWatch
©2011-2016 Eonixa
Yes, it was a really crazy idea to create such a mad crossover. But I gonna think it`s my favourite pic for today)
So I`ve put together two universes: the world of Disney`s Winnie the Pooh and the world of Bethesda`s Elder Scrolls video game. Lets consede that Pooh and his friends had a possibility to play TES III: Morrowind and TES IV: Oblivion (LOL)... and after that they`ve decided to make a fancy-dress party))
How do you think who deserves the first prize?) I place a bet on Tigger...
Лол, что тут скажешь... Все началось с дурацкой мысли нарисовать М`айка, который показывает портрет Тигры и говорит, что это его младший брат) Однако моя фантазия пошла дальше, пока не вышло то, что вы наблюдаете.
Я еще хотела переодеть Суслика Дагот Уром (или Вивеком), но побоялась, что меня побьют фоннаты))
Oh my gosh! I love it!
Interesting role choice.
This is f**king genius!
hilarious! I love elder scrolls!
I love the Tarhiel the most!
and the adoring fan, clap clap
tigger as maiq, and owl!?! cool
HAHAHAHAA childhood and gamerhood just hit 10 xD
LOL, this is funny and awesome!
I approve so hard of this.
I have to admit. That is really cute.
That's adorable XD
I honestly am unable to approve of this. It just...screws up my childhood. seriously.
All the humorous references to such a great video game series. Great Job!
Its Dova-Bear!!!
Whoah! This is really nice!
Indeed, Tiger as M'Aiq the Liar is perfect.
Indeed, Tiger as M'Aiq the Liar is perfect.
M'Aiq says don't try to block with two swords, you just get confused. >.>
Great work, but shouldn't Tigger be Sheogorath?
lol, i just started playing olivion. sadly its on my bf's computer, but i know some of the characters. still is funny!
Heh heh...I almost forgot about Tarhiel.
MAN, that guy was dumb...
MAN, that guy was dumb...
I remember the first time I ever came across Tarhiel, it was actually one of the funniest things that's ever happened to me in a game.
It was also very sudden, when I`ve heard his scream I was really frightened because I didn`t see anyone around And then I saw the body XD Poor guy...
Uh... I don't get how Rabbit is Sheogorath. o.O srsly y? Not thatr I don't love this picture to pieces.
this is so so awesome! fantastic job!!
How awesome is this? VERY. More awesomeness is not possible.
Made my day, absolutely love this!!
Made my day, absolutely love this!!
SO CUTE!!! its funny cauz i was a huge Pooh fan when i was a kid and now im obsessed with Skyrim !
That is so cute! ^^
Tigger! I bet on Tigger!
Hahaha that's fucking epic. :3
Sheogorath should have been Tigger, I could just see him bouncing around all over the place.
(I favorited before I commented so ha! Lol. )
Of course Tigger is M'aiq. And Rabbit Sheogorath. Lol. xD
Of course Tigger is M'aiq. And Rabbit Sheogorath. Lol. xD

Goodluck at Georgetown in July. The coaches are amazing. Ididn't intern for a long time there, but for the time I was there I love it. I am actually located in Florida at Athletes Performance, I am interning for the summer here. What college coaching experience do you have other than Gallaudet? How do you like Gallaudet? Do you have your masters? Sorry for all of the questions, I just like to expand my network of strength coaches and learn about them and their path in this industry.

Every time I go back to the contest thread, I seem to have the ability to star every post again. I'm pretty sure I've starred a couple of posts at least twice. I think its a glitch with the new ATS that they're still working on.
I hope it doesn't screw up the contest.
reply to post by snarky412
Either that or link to the contest either in your siggy or in posts.
I guess I need a "portable banner" for the contest...

Subaru is enjoying robust showroom traffic and increased market share, and recently surpassed Volkswagen on the U.S. sales chart. Now, new safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) give car buyers two more reasons to consider buying a Subaru.
Based on new IIHS crash-test results, the 2014 Impreza and 2014 XV Crosstrek have earned the Institute's "Top Safety Pick Plus" rating. To achieve this rating, a vehicle must perform at an "Acceptable" or "Good" level in the new small overlap frontal-impact crash test, which is designed to measure crash protection when the front left corner of a vehicle impacts a tree, utility pole, or oncoming traffic. Additionally, the tested vehicle must rate as "Good" in the four other crash tests conducted by the IIHS: moderate overlap front; side; roof strength; and head restraints and seats.
Starting with the 2014 model year, Subaru made structural changes to the Impreza and XV Crosstrek in order to improve their performance in the small overlap test. They join three other Subaru models to have earned the "Top Safety Pick Plus" designation: the 2014 Forester, 2014 Legacy, and 2014 Outback. A total of 29 models, including these five Subarus, have been named as "Top Safety Pick Plus" models by the Institute.

A shabby room in a shabby hotel!
A shabby unfinished basement room, no architrave, no skirting boards, carpet ripped away from the walls(presumably cut and rotted away from the water spilling through the wall from the shower) not even a shade on the light bulb, all in all the worst hotel room I've had the miss fortune to stop in!
It's what u pay for
Room was average.
We was located in a basement and room was very cold. At around 7-8am cleaners made too much noise so a lay in was out the question. The hotel didn't have alcoholic beverages which want great considering the licencing laws within its location made it impossible to conclude a good night. Hotel for me was clean but disturbing noise from colleagues talking to loud spoiled the stay.

"As the lion or the young lion growls over his prey,
6 Return to Him from whom [b]you have deeply defected, O sons of Israel. 7 For in that day every man will cast away his silver idols and his gold idols, which your sinful hands have made for you as a sin.
8 And the Assyrian will fall by a sword not of man,

Who Would Jesus Vote For?
The repeated and incessant demonization of Barack Obama is absolutely tired and unjustifiable to any rational person. I dare say that God would be proud of this country for the way they've voted this week.
Jesus healed the sick. He never turned anyone away because they didn't have a job. He never charged a dime for it. The Affordable Care Act championed by President Obama is a step towards this. The plan for this is nowhere near complete. This was simply the best compromise that we could get passed. What it does for us is try to make sure that not just the wealthy, not just the employed, simply everyone gets affordable access to healthcare. Much the same as a lawyer at a criminal trial — if you cannot afford health insurance, we will provide it to you. Maybe someday, we can get everyone to see that the right thing to do is simply to provide healthcare to everyone, and not worry about money changing hands. God would be proud of this.
The kind of country that the modern Republican platform is pushing for is one of pure, unadulterated, unrestrained capitalism. No social welfare of any kind. Certainly no public healthcare options. Jesus cared for the sick, for the needy, for the homeless. He didn't scorn them, say they're simply not working hard enough. He taught us to love thy neighbor, unconditionally. When you start valuing things like your marginal tax rate over the teachings of Jesus Christ, you're worshiping a false idol — the dollar. I don't think I need to tell you what God would think of that.
Referring to Barack as any sort of a godless heathen is simply not true. It's a falsehood spun by the media trying to smear his good name. Barack Obama is, has publicly stated himself to be, and indeed has been confirmed to be a Christian. He was baptized by the United Church of Christ in 1988. This would make him a Protestant, like nearly every President this country has ever had. Additionally, since Barack was already an adult at the time (27 years old), he willfully CHOSE to be a Christian. So tell me, who is more devout? The man who chose to be Christian despite a non-religious upbringing, or the man who was born into religion, had it thrust upon him all his life, and worships a religion which is not even recognized as Christian by most of the world (including most Christian churches in the United States)?
Thankfully, we live in the United States of America. Where we are free to believe what we want to believe. Where no man may force his beliefs upon another. You may, of course, believe whatever you wish. However, if you choose to believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, you really need to ask yourself — Who would Jesus vote for?
Five Lessons About the Way We Treat People
I sat down and read this tonight and I'd heard many of these stories before… but it makes them no less touching to hear again.
Clear Nonsense – Five Lessons About the Way We Treat People.
Trickle-down doesn't work
Warning: Rant ahead.
So, today I was reading an article on bloomberg.com and read a quote that… I just cannot leave alone:
"Tearing down the rich does not help those less well- off," said the chairman of New York-based WL Ross & Co. LLC. "If you favor employment, you need employers whose businesses are flourishing."
So, Mr. Ross, what causes a business to flourish? Is it cutting the personal income taxes of the business' owners? Or is it having lots of customers patronizing that business?
Scenario: You're a billionaire. You own a large retail chain with hundreds of stores. What do you want? More money of course. That's generally the point of owning a business… filling a need in a way that lets you make money. How do your stores make money? People shopping there. Specifically when those people buy high-margin impulse items. How do you get more people shopping there and buying more impulse items? Well, you want them to have more money of course… so lets look at how to do that… So, do you cut the taxes to the wealthy people who… don't really shop at your stores, and probably own their own businesses? Cutting taxes for the wealthy wouldn't do anything… they mostly already have more than enough money to buy everything they want, and really, they don't shop at your stores. Even if they cut your taxes, it doesn't mean your stores can suddenly afford to pay people more or hire more workers… your shareholders would be upset by the lower profits, meaning lower dividends for them. Cutting the taxes of the people shopping at your stores, the ones who shop at your store hoping to save money on inexpensive goods, that'll help drive more people into your stores with more money in their wallets that they can spend on those profitable impulse purchase items. We can also cut the expenses for your customers, to give them more money to spend. What're some ways to accomplish that? Providing better, cheaper mass transit, providing free healthcare, subsidizing food costs, etc… but that has to be paid for somehow? We could raise taxes on the wealthy… you don't like it, it's less money for you, but it doesn't really hurt your bottom line because you already make far more than you spend with your needs and wants combined… and it means you can help cut expenses for the people shopping at your store, so they can spend more money. Really, if you cut their expenses enough, they might shop so much more often and buy so many more impulse items that you ultimately make even more money despite your taxes being significantly higher. Now THAT makes business sense.
Really, how do you create a business? Do you come up with a product/service, build a whole business around supplying that product/service, and hope people come buy it? Or do you find a demand for a product/service, develop a profitable means to provide that product/service, and then build the business around supplying it? Hint: One of these ways is far more successful than the other.
Smart business owners find the demand for a product or service first, then profit from filling that demand. Supplying a product or service without any customers demanding it is a great way to go nowhere. Economies are always driven primarily by demand, not by supply.
We've seen governments give us the kind of economics that fiscal conservatives say they want… small, efficient government with low taxes. It was known as feudalism. All of the wealth was at the top… but it didn't trickle down. It stayed at the top, and kept the nobles wealthy and in power for centuries while there was no middle class and 99% of the population was lower class. C'mon, is that REALLY what you want? Because the odds are not in your favor to be in that upper class…

The Battle of Veridian III
I may be crucified for saying this, but after thinking about it, I believe Riker made a grievous tactical error at the Battle of Veridian III, which, had he played it differently, could have saved the Enterprise-D.
Riker's strategy was to perform evasive maneuvers and essentially take pot-shots at the bird-of-prey. This proved largely ineffective, as we saw by the massive damage to the Enterprise ultimately resulting in her destruction.
What he forgot was that the bird-of-prey is not a particularly tough ship. They're designed to be nimble and stealthy for quick hit-and-run attacks. A Galaxy class starship will never out-run or out-maneuver a bird-of-prey at sublight speeds. The Galaxy class, however, is a fairly durable design, often used as a staple in large fleet actions.
All things considered, when the first volley hit, MY orders would have been: forget the shields, divert all shield power and anything else we can spare to weapons and close to point-blank range, maintaining continuous fire. The shields were worthless at this point, so why did Riker waste the energy to maintain them? Diverting the shield power to weapons would've given the Enterprise a massive punch and would've collapsed the relatively weak bird-of-prey's shielding quickly, and once that's done, we've seen repeatedly how quickly a bird-of-prey can be torn to shreds by even a single photon torpedo. Even if the bird-of-prey had opted to out-maneuver the Enterprise with this strategy, they would have been giving the Enterprise a lot more room to breathe and (as the bird-of-prey's weaponry only has forward firing arcs) wouldn't have been able to maintain the near continuous fire on the Enterprise that they had during the battle.
Why did Riker, a trained, decorated and seasoned Starfleet officer not think of this, and I, while grocery shopping, did?

My iPhone
Before anyone thinks I need your permission or approval to buy a new phone, I just want to clarify: I don't. I'm only taking the time to type this up because I'm already getting endless crap from tech evangelists and I want to make my point once and only once.
The arguments against the iPhone:
- Non user replaceable battery – This does not affect me. I have no interest at all in carrying multiple batteries for my phone. When the built in battery dies, I will be out of warranty anyway so I will replace the battery myself.
- Non expandable memory – My Droid had 16Gb of flash, just like my new iPhone does. I at most used 9Gb of it. I do not forsee needing significantly more on an iPhone.
- No physical keyboard – This one at least has some merit. I imagine there may be a rare instance where I miss having the keyboard. That being said, the longer I had the Droid, the less I used it's physical keyboard. I got very used to using the virtual keyboard to the point that my accuracy and speed were lower on the physical keyboard. And Apple's virtual keyboard is noticeably more usable.
- Closed platform under Apple's control – Sorry folks, I just don't need 100 different applications for every possible use. The apps that Apple DOES have are of distinctly greater quality and performance as well. When I get right down to it, there are maybe a half dozen apps I use on a daily basis, and they're all of equal or greater quality on the iPhone vs Android.
- Apple will be releasing a new iPhone soon – Don't you worry about me. I've got that covered too.
- No multitasking – This is one that I've really nagged people on in the past. And honestly, what iPhone has now is good enough for a mobile device. You can't really, truly use more than one application at a time anyway on your mobile device, why pretend otherwise? Android's way of allowing multiple fully-running applications simultaneously is horribly detrimental to battery life.
- Fewer free apps – True. But the ones I really want/need are free anyway.
My issues with Android:
- Application quality – I cannot think of a single case where an iPhone application is noticeably lower quality than its android counterpart. I cannot say the opposite is true. While having an open market such as the android app store may foster a competitive development atmosphere, what it's done so far is to foster an environment of sloppy developers pushing out poor quality applications. Or perhaps the Android SDK is really just that bad, in which case I apologize to the developers and point my finger squarely at Google to step up to the plate. I cannot say which for certain, as I have not tried my hand at Android app development (nor do I especially want to, which brings me to #2.
- Java – Java by any other name is still Java. I am yet to see a Java application that runs as lean, stable and performant as its non-Java counterpart. Until I have this experience, I cannot forgive, forget or endorse the use of Java in any form on Android, which means that I cannot fathom wanting to develop android applications, nor do I feel right continuing to use the platform while it is based on this technology.
- Always behind the curve – Android has, from day one, been playing catch-up to Apple's iPhone. Just recently are we starting to see significant features hit Android devices first. Additionally, application developers have a much more difficult target to hit with Android, being the more open and unrestricted platform that it is, so the iPhone version of nearly any application always comes out first, followed at some undetermined date by the Android version. I'm sick of being the apologist or feeling like I need to play catch-up. I want what THEY (and now I) have already.
- Too unrestricted – This one's kind of like the deregulation of the banking industry… go too far, and you'll have a disaster. As I was mentioning in #3, there is too little standardization on the hardware. It's made for a fractured community, running a multitude of software versions, on dozens of different hardware configurations. It's difficult to write anything more than the simplest applications and have them work consistently across all of these devices since there's no standards for any of the configurations. Think there's no merit to this? Go search for the reason why there's no Android version of Plants vs. Zombies.
- Email Support – So long as you're using Gmail and only Gmail on your Android phone, email works fine. But what if you want to use Gmail as well as some IMAP or Exchange accounts? As soon as you add those other accounts, they take over your phone, and you'll no longer be able to use your Gmail accounts from the "Share" menu. This is a horrible design, and I suspect it could be easily corrected.
- Unpredictable upgrades – Some might argue that this is a flaw with iPhone as well, but really, it's not. Apple has established a pattern and once they do that, they tend to follow it (your iPhone will get the next two major software upgrades after it's released, then you're cut off). Android, however, is a crap shoot. You have to speculate regarding if and when you'll get that software upgrade. If ever. Some vendors just stop supporting their old hardware and push people towards the new. Great support policy there… the pattern that the Android community has established is that the only version of Android you can count on having is the one that's on your phone when you buy it.
- Rough around the edges – This one is a matter of personal taste, but I've always felt like most every Linux-based GUI has been rough around the edges and lacks the polish of its closed-source counterparts. Android is no exception to this. This isn't just prettiness, it's also a matter of usability, and in some cases (I'll try to think of specific examples later and edit this as appropriate), it just feels clunky. (As compared to sluggish, which would be more attributed to my older Droid's hardware).
- Battery life – This one is one that I had to draw attention to my iPhone desires to test, by purchasing a used iPhone 3G. That iPhone 3G, with questionable battery health, soundly outlasted my droid's brand new battery. Bear in mind as well that the iPhone 3G was notorious for having the worst battery life of all of the iPhone series. And in case anyone's wondering, I can now re-sell that iPhone 3G for as much, if not more than I paid for it.
Some people are probably still not convinced that this was a well thought out purchase on my part, or just flat out disagree with any/all of my points. That's fine, you're free to have your opinions. But ultimately, this was my choice to spend my money and it in no way affects you.
Love it or hate it, I don't care. Just leave it alone.
Juniper/Aventail VPN Fix for Ubuntu 10.04
With the release of Ubuntu 10.04, the tun driver, commonly used for VPN connectivity, has been moved into the kernel, instead of being loaded as a module as it was previously. Unfortunately, the Juniper and Aventail VPN clients check for VPN support in the kernel by running a "modprobe tun", instead of checking for the presence of the device nodes. This causes the VPN connections to immediately fail, even though they would otherwise succeed. Searching the Ubuntu forums, I happened upon this thread:
After trying a couple of the other fixes, I finally found a script, posted by cdenley (http://www.chrisdenley.com/) which successfully works around the issue by creating a null driver named tun, which the VPN clients can then modprobe with no harmful results to satisfy their requirements.
#! /usr/bin/env bash sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` mkdir faketun cd faketun echo -e "#include <linux /module.h>\nstatic int start__module(void) {return 0;}\nstatic void end__module(void){return;}\nmodule_init(start__module);\nmodule_exit(end__module);">tun.c echo -e "obj-m += tun.o\nall:\n\tmake -C /lib/modules/\$(shell uname -r)/build/ M=\$(PWD) modules\nclean:\n\tmake -C /lib/modules/\$(shell uname -r)/build/ M=\$(PWD) clean\nclean-files := Module.symvers">Makefile make sudo install tun.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/tun.ko sudo depmod -a sudo modprobe tun

A Lingering Pest: Malaria in Africa
Safran, Elana, Kennedy School Review
In Akotokyir, near Cape Coast on the coast of Ghana, children do not die from malaria just because they lack access to treatment. They may die for other reasons. Perhaps a mother prefers to give her child herbal treatments until the fever gets severe. Perhaps she goes to a pharmacy to buy medicine instead of first getting her child diagnosed at the clinic. Maybe the family uses a mosquito net for sleeping, but the child still gets bitten while outside and is too young to have developed some baseline immunity. Or maybe the family is big but lives in a room so small that the heat is too much to use a mosquito net comfortably at night.
Paska, a thirty-year-old mother of two small children who met with the organization TAMTAM in central Uganda last year, understands these factors. She says of malaria, "I didn't think malaria was a problem. But now I have children, and I have seen them suffer so much, which proves to me that malaria is a deadly disease. I think everyone wants a net but some cannot afford. When you get used to sleeping under a net, you feel bad sleeping without." Compared to trying to sell someone a stove or a pair of shoes, the task of distributing mosquito nets is different. Ultimately, the goal is not only to have people at risk of malaria buying nets, but also to have the same people using them on a daily--or nightly--basis.
Mosquito net usage is particularly important in the prevention of malaria, a disease that infects 243 million and kills 863,000 people a year, 85 percent of them children, according to the World Health Organization's most recent statistics. By eliminating a link in the chain of transmission--that is, preventing mosquitoes from biting at night--nets are a powerful way to stop the transfer of malaria between people. But what may seem like a simple technology is, in fact, one among many weapons in an evolving arsenal of ways to treat a disease that goes back centuries.
Given working interventions, the challenge is more often applying small-scale lessons learned to a larger group. TAMTAM--Together Against Malaria, Tunapenda Afya na Maisha, which is Swahili that translates to "We love health and living"--is one organization that attempts to do just that, by combining net distribution with operational research on distribution methods. By working closely with policy makers, TAMTAM can ensure that its research focuses on the most practical and effective questions in the field. And in the changing landscape of a pressing disease, there is no shortage of questions.
The malaria parasite is carried by female anopheles mosquitoes, which transmit the parasite to humans when they bite, mostly at night. Treated bed nets--like insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) or long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs)-act as both a physical and chemical barrier to mosquitoes, protecting not only the user, but also those within the flying radius of a mosquito as well. UNICEF cites that net usage can reduce child mortality rates by up to 20 percent. Considering mosquito nets cost less than seven dollars and can last for five years, they are one of the most effective ways to prevent malaria.
Because the dissemination of malaria requires two parties--mosquitoes and humans--its spread is an ongoing and constant process. The disease is persistently difficult to battle; time and again, new treatments are met with the development of resistance. What the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends now--indoor residual spraying and LLINs for prevention and artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) for treatment--represents only the most recent variations in a long line of tools.
Despite malaria's long history--texts from ancient Egypt, China, India, Greece, and Rome reference it--the science of prevention and treatment has proven unable to outpace this tricky disease, as it constantly co-evolves with humans. …
