Charmander and Bulbasaur and Chikorita might be my first choices for non-evolved starters, just because I feel like it. Middle line, I like most of the starters actually, and fully evolved it's probably Blaziken or Infernape.
In general, I prefer fire starters and like grass starters the least. But then there's Chikorita and Bulbasaur, so there is no fully functional rule in me for that. I also like bipedal starters more than four legged, so Samurott and most grass pokémon fall behind on that account.

As a network professional, one of your newer roles is likely troubleshooting poor application performance. For most of us, our jobs have advanced beyond network "health," towards sharing - if not owning - responsibility for application delivery. There are many reasons for this more justifiable than the adage that the network is first to be blamed for performance problems. (Your application and system peers feel they are first to be blamed as well.) Two related influencing trends come to mind:
- Increased globalization, coupled with (in fact facilitated by) inexpensive bandwidth means that the network is becoming a more critical part of the business at the same time its constraint is shifting from bandwidth to latency.
- Many of the network devices - appliances - that sit in the path between remote offices and data centers are application-fluent, designed to enhance and speed application performance, often by spoofing application behaviors; in fact, many of these have evolved in response to problems introduced by increased network latency.
In an ideal world, your application performance management (APM) solution or your application-aware network performance management (AANPM) solution would automatically isolate the fault domain for you, providing all the diagnostic evidence you need to take the appropriate corrective actions. The reality is that this isn't always the case; intermittent problems, unexpected application or network behaviors, inefficient configuration settings, or just a desire for more concrete proof mean that manual troubleshooting remains a frequent exercise. Although it may seem like there are a near-unlimited number of root causes of poor application performance, and that trial and error, guesswork and finger-pointing are valid paths toward resolution, the truth is much different. In a series of network triage blog posts, I'll identify the very limited realm of possible performance constraints, explain how to measure and quantify their impact, illustrate these using network packet trace diagrams, and offer meaningful and supportable actions you might evaluate to correct the problem. Understanding how to detect these possible performance problems (there are twelve altogether) will help you troubleshoot faster, more accurately, with greater insight, while collaborating more effectively with your application and system peers.
In this introductory entry, I present the request/reply application paradigm assumption upon which most of the analyses depend, illustrate key packet-level measurements, and provide a list of the 12 bottleneck categories we'll discuss in future blog entries to the series.
Packet Flow Diagrams
Throughout the blog series I will be using packet flow diagrams to illustrate message flows on the network, often to emphasize TCP's influence on these flows. Some are drawings to illustrate concepts and theory, others are screenshots from Compuware's Transaction Trace Analysis that illustrate the pertinent performance bottleneck. The diagram conventions are simple:
- Each arrow represents one TCP packet
- Blue arrows are used to represent data packets
- Red arrows are used to represent TCP ACK packets
- The slope of the arrow represents network delay
- Time flows from top to bottom
We will frequently use the term "operation," which we define as the unit of work that an application performs on behalf of a user; we sometimes describe it as "Click (or Enter key) to screen update." Business transactions are made up of one or more operations; for example, a user may click through a series of screens (operations) to complete a customer order update. Operations are an important demarcation point, as they represent the unique performance dimension important to the business, to the user, and to IT. The time a user waits for the system to execute an operation impacts business transaction performance and therefore productivity, and is dictated by the performance of lower-level IT-managed hardware, software and services. Note that this terminology may differ somewhat from network probes that often use the term "transaction" to reference session-layer request-response exchanges, which we discuss next.
Request/Reply Paradigm
We assume a client/server or request/reply paradigm, with TCP as the transport; this covers virtually all of what we might refer to as interactive business applications. It would include, for example, web-based apps, "fat client" apps, file server access, file transfers, backups, etc. It specifically excludes voice and video streaming as well as the presentation tier of thin-client solutions that use protocols such as ICA and PCoIP.
For each operation, there will be at least one application-level request and one corresponding application-level reply. These can be considered application messages, sometimes referred to as application-layer protocol data units (PDUs). Consider a simple client-server operation. At the application layer, a request message is passed to the client's TCP stack (TCP socket) for segmentation (into packets), addressing, and transmission; these lower layer TCP stack functions are essentially transparent to the application. At the receiving end (the server), the data from the network packets is reassembled into the application layer message and delivered to the listener service for processing. Once processing is complete, the server application passes the reply message to the server's TCP stack, and the message contents are similarly segmented and transferred across the network to the client. The performance of these request/reply message exchanges is constrained by two factors; message processing (at the server or client) and message transmission (across the network).
It is helpful, then, to consider this request/reply message exchange as the basis for performance analysis; the reassembled messages represent our network-centric insight into the application, while the packets visible in the trace file inform us how efficiently the network transports these messages.

So much for stats
Brewers starter Dave Bush probably thought he caught a break tonight when he didn't see Yadier Molina's name in the lineup card. Molina is 4-for-7 vs. Bush in his career with a pair of homers.
However, Molina's backup...former Brewer Gary Bennett...socked a two-run homer off of Bush in the top of the fourth inning Monday night. Bennett is a career .239 hitter with one home run this year.
Thanks to Prince Fielder's majestic three-run home run in the first inning ( a 458-foot clout), the Brewers lead the Cardinals 4-2 in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Interestingly, a new twist on an alternative revenue generator has emerged: the democratized digital tip jar. Sites like Wikipedia have employed an online tip jar for years in the form of regular requests for donations from its users via PayPal, credit/debit cards, and other payment methods. But now a major player in the digital donations space-Flattr-is partnering with AdBlock Plus to offer Flattr Plus, a browser extension/app that enables users to remove online ads from sites they visit while also contributing a monthly payment in an amount they choose that will be distributed proportionally to publishers of the sites they surf.

Is a Downer News Cycle a Factor in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Success?
August 20, 2014
In the last six weeks of summer, there has been a lot of depressing news. The Malaysian Airline tragedy in the Ukraine, the Ebola virus outbreak, the conflict on the borders of Israel/Palestine, Iraq/ISIS, Ferguson, and the sad passing of Robin Williams. So maybe it is not too surprising that something that makes us feel good while doing good and is a little silly, like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, went wild on the social networks.
Beyond Engagement: Making Advocacy Pay in Nonprofit Organizations
August 14, 2014
Most nonprofit organizations depend on the power of advocacy for their day-to-day survival. They don't always call it "advocacy," although fund-raising in the voluntary sector requires advocates on every corner. Pleading a cause directly remains a highly effective method of securing donations.

Mid Century San Francisco CutieUnited StatesCaliforniaSan Francisco
About this listing
A great house for families with kids. 2 bedrooms accommodate couples, and one is set up for kids with a bunk bed (2 twin mattresses) and a crib.
Well equipped kitchen (we love to cook), a sunny deck with an outdoor couch and open-plan living.
Space where guests can cook their own meals
Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
Central heating or a heater in the listing
The Space
Our home is located in a lovely, untouristy and close-to-all-things-cool neighborhood in San Francisco.
Open floor plan, lots of light, a great deck right off the kitchen. 3 bedrooms: 2 upstairs (one sofa bed that opens into an almost-queen, and one kid room with a twin bunk bed as well as a crib). Modern furniture, kamado grill and a little backyard! in San Francisco! We love to cook and our kitchen is well appointed. The master bedroom is downstairs in our architect-design modern space. It has a comfortable queen size bed, and a beautiful all cedar bathroom. The office space and laundry are also (URL HIDDEN) is the cool wine cellar!
You will feel very comfortable in this easy-going house. It's kid friendly: toys and gates. We have wi-fi throughout the house.
Our place is perfect for a family looking to have their own space and a common space to gather and cook, eat, play games or watch movies together. It's a great base for visiting the whole area.
Guest Access
The whole house, but the wine is off-limits :)
The Neighborhood
Our neighborhood is super nice in and of itself, with awesome views of the city (top of Bernal hill!) and next to a big park.
Check out Cortland street:
Playground behind the library
Goodlife: independent grocery store
Pinkie's and Little Bee bakeries for great coffee, croissants and pastries
Avedano's for excellent meat
Pinhole cafe to hang out
Heartfelt for gifts
Chloe's closet: used stuff for kids (toys and clothes)
Great local restaurants:
Red Hill Station (Seafood), Vega (Italian), Piqueos (Peruvian) and Bernal Star (Burgers)
Third Cousin for fine dining
Epicurean and 331 Cortland are lovely little markets where you can get food to go. I love the Thai place 'Ma Krua' - you can get a fresh coconut there!
Getting Around
The 67 bus stop is right across the street and takes you straight to the Mission (if you don't want to walk 10 minutes...that hill is steep!) and to the BART.
Other Things to Note
We've done some remodeling/repainting since the pictures were taken so you'll see some changes.
The house is not great for parties or big groups because the two adult bedrooms are really only good for couples, and the kids' room will only sleep kids, maybe teenagers.
Welcome to our home!
If you wish to watch a DVD, use the computer in the downstairs bedroom. You can also use the computer to stream movies and shows from netflix. Just go to (URL HIDDEN) and use the 'Friends' profile. There are also a bunch of kids movies on iTunes.
(We are a TV-less household and use personal devices to stream shows)
Explore and help yourselves. Most everything goes in the dishwasher but for big knives, steak knives, and wooden tools.
Dishwasher tabs in cabinet above sink.
Please help yourselves to fruits or any perishables in the fridge (eggs, milk etc…)
Trash collection is Tuesday morning. Could you please take bins out on Monday night and back in after collection?
Please recycle: we use grocery paper bags (in the cleaning supplies closet, top shelf)
and please compost: stainless steel bin is on the kitchen counter. Compostable bags under the sink. Best to take compost out every day or every other day and place in the big green bin in the garage.
If unsure, go to (URL HIDDEN) to check what goes where.
Thank you for being mindful of your water use.
Washer and dryer are down in the closet of the master bedroom. Self-explanatory to use. Help yourselves to detergent.
Towels will be laid out for your use. If you need more they are in the upstairs linen cabinet.
Help yourselves to all bathroom implements.
Could you please take the mail inside?
We prefer shoes off in the house as much as possible. And no food on the couch :)
Parking is easy on the street. You can usually get a spot in front of the house. If we're away with the car then feel free to use the garage. BEWARE of street cleaning signs! Wednesdays and Thursdays and alternate side, between 12 and 2pm.
In the garage you'll find camping chairs, folding chairs, sand toys, balls, a woman's bicycle and helmet. You are welcome to use any of it.
Checking out
Around 11, noon-ish (to leave time for cleaners to work). Remove all used bedding off the beds and bring downstairs by the washing-machine. Please start one load.
Make yourselves at home, and enjoy the neighborhood!

Your Host
Originally from Paris, very happily transplanted in San Francisco. I was formerly an environmental advocate. I still care about the environment (don't forget to compost!) but I am now focusing on raising my two boys.

Man, 40, who brutally raped and murdered his high school classmate when he was 15 gets parole
- Conrad Engweiler is set to be released next month after serving 24 years for the rape, sodomy and murder of 16-year-old Erin Tonna Reynolds
- At a hearing in May, Engweiler told the board that his prison time had taught him remorse, empathy and compassion
- Miss Reynolds' family pleaded that the killer spend his life in prison
- The teen was murdered a few days after being told she no longer had cancer
- Engweiler had dated Reynolds before she broke things off with him
A 40-year-old man who was convicted aged 15 of raping and strangling to death a high school classmate has been paroled.
Conrad Engweiler is set to be released next month, following the decision by the Oregon parole board on Tuesday.
Engweiler has served more than 24 years for the aggravated murder, rape and sodomy of 16-year-old Erin Tonna Reynolds in the Portland suburb of Beaverton in 1990.
Conrad Engweiler (pictured in May this year) has served more than 24 years for the aggravated murder, rape and sodomy of 16-year-old Erin Tonna Reynolds in the Portland suburb of Beaverton in 1990. He is due to be released next month
A judge sentenced him in 1991 to life in prison with the chance of parole after 40 years. He was exempt from death penalty under Oregon state law due to being a minor.
Engweiler, who has been an inmate at the Oregon State Correctional Institution in Salem, will be out in just a few weeks.
His case has been before the courts repeatedly over the years because he was sentenced under unclear guidelines initially.
Erin Tonna Reynolds, 16, was raped and murdered by her classmate in 1990
His lawyer has argued that with good behavior time considered, he's overdue for release.
The state Supreme Court earlier told the board to start the pre-release process 'with appropriate dispatch'.
At a hearing in May, Engweiler told the parole hearing that his prison time has taught him remorse, empathy and compassion.
His release has been deferred until October 16.
Engweiler will spend his life on parole and be supervised closely for at least three years.
He will also be required to register as a sex offender.
Before approving his release, the parole board had ordered three separate psychological evaluations.
The court's decision goes against the pleas of Miss Reynold's family who have begged that Engweiler spend the rest of his life behind bars, according to Oregonlive.com.
Miss Reynolds, who had survived cancer, was found murdered outside Engweiler's father's home, buried in a pile of rubbish on February 22, 1990.
Engweiler, pictured in court in court at the age of 15, said that he had been high on drugs when he raped, sodomized and strangled classmate Erin Tonna Reynolds. He is due to be released after 24 years in jail
She had been reported as a missing person by her parents' the evening before when she missed her curfew.
The following morning, police were called by Engweiler's father after he reported his son missing and said that strange car was parked outside his home.
The car was identified as Miss Reynolds' vehicle and while officers inspected the home, dogs began barking in the back yard. Drag marks to a ravine led to the 16-year-old's body under debris.
The student was killed a few days after she had been told by doctors that she was cancer-free.
Earl Reynolds comforts his daughter, Beth Greear, at a parole hearing for Conrad Engweiler in 2012. The family have pleaded that Erin Reynolds' killer be kept behind bars
Engweiler was later found hiding out at the home of his mother's attorney and was taken into custody.
The teenagers, both students at Sunset High School, had been on a few dates but Miss Reynolds had ended the relationship.
At the time of his conviction, Engweiler told the court that he had was under the influence of LSD and marijuana when he killed the girl.
Miss Reynolds' sister Beth Greear told KGW that she believed Engweiler posed 'absolutely a risk to society'.

News of the initiation of Apaz PIII should come soon. My rationale. The Apaz PIII must be started and substantially enrolled before the Apaz NDA can be filed and accepted by the FDA. SPPI has repeated that they expect to file this NDA by the end of the year. This cannot occur unless they get the PIII filed in the near future. . This could move the stock.
We are also very close to ASCO and could get the efficacy data for CE-melphalan very soon.
Spectrum's recent presentation says "File NDA for Apaziquone and Start Phase 3", not vice versa. It sounds like they are going to file first and start study later. Not sure about the logic for that.
Dcaf, Old news, FDA will give provisional approval while trials are in progress. The pooled data was accepted and this is very close to being an unmet medical need.
"We are also very close to ASCO"
ASCO abstracts are out, i'm not very good at searching them, but thought I would mention it for others.
Sounded to me like the trial would have to be sufficiently enrolled such that they would expect it to be fully enrolled, or almost such, by a decision date on the NDA. That to me implies they are already way late on launching, and will likely not see 2014 submission even if the trial opens tonight. The only thing I know of that would offset that analysis would be a trust in Raj. Yeah.
Long here, but have serious doubts about the Apaz registrational pathway anyway, The submission on the combined data has to strikes:
. It is statistically dubious to combine 2 trials that were not designed for such.
. As it now is a single trial, the "bar" at the FDA is higher than if it was still 2 trials.
And this is not baseball.
Plenty enough value in the other drugs to get this ship righted regardless of Apaziquone.
Don't disagree, but there are other factors:
The two PIIIs were supposedly identical in structure making combination possible. The combined statistical value is 0.01.
No approved drug for prostate cancer.
FDA has agreed to allow NDA filing and put before committee.
The path forward is based upon FDA guidance.
I give it a 50/50 chance.
Not sure what's happening with the multi-instillation PIIIs.

Abortion statistics reporting bill draws sharp Senate debate
SALT LAKE CITY — A bill calling for the state health department to report annual abortion statistics to the Utah Legislature, including a woman's race and ethnicity, drew sharp debate Tuesday in the Senate.
"This is only about statistics and information gathering dealing with the number of abortions that are done in our state," said Sen. Margaret Dayton, R-Orem, sponsor of SB60.
Along with the number of abortions performed each year, the Utah Department of Health would have to report the stage of pregnancy for each abortion, the race of the woman and the reason for the procedure. Recording the reason for the abortion would be voluntary, Dayton said.
"I know of no policing of filling out the form," she said.
But Democrats peppered Dayton with questions about why the state would need some of the information the measure seeks, including the reason why a woman has an abortion.
"I guess, statistically, I don't even know how that matters," said Sen. Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake City. "I don't know if this is germane to statistical data that is really needed."
Dayton said women seeking abortions already fill out a federal form asking for that information, and the bill would just be including it in state law.
"Whether or not somebody fills that out, whether they tell the truth, we don't know that, but it is on the form," she said.
Davis also questioned the need to ask about race or ethnicity, saying it's not an important statistic for the state to be collecting.
Sen. Pat Jones, D-Salt Lake City, said some women agonize about whether to have an abortion, and asking those types of questions would add to that agony.
Dayton said Democrats were losing sight of the intent of the bill because their questions seemed to aimed at "whether or not we're interfering with a woman's right to have an abortion or what she's going to say about it."
The bill, she said, focuses on gathering information to help lawmakers make abortion policy choices in the future.
"Maybe it's a good thing we have only have five members of the minority party because I've now answered questions for all of them," Dayton said as the debate concluded.
The Senate preliminarily approved the measure 21-2. It will be up for a final vote later this week.

I have been a client of Dr. Tony and Dr. Bill for over 8 years now. They are an excellent team that provides outstanding care. If you need an appointment immediantely they will find a way to fit you in. They take the time to explain all aspects of care that is needed for you be it urgent care or just routine maintenance. Dr. Tony could have the impression as being curt. Actually he is to the point and concise. I appreciate this. I leave with complete understanding as to what care my "children" require. i.e. doggies!! Dr. Bill is very laid back, funny and every bit articulate as Dr. Tony. The staff is understanding and helpful. This is a first class clinic!! I especially appreciate that they are on the cutting edge of knowing the latest breakthroughs of complete animal care. Hats off to all of you!!! Woof woof and meow:)
I took my dog to them after having a bad experience at another vet facility. These people were exceptional. She receive a very thorough exam. I was not rushed and the vet really took the time to talk to me about my pet. She had her teeth cleaned, complete blood work done and the biopsied 2 spots on her sides. They immediately called me after her surgery to let me know how she was doing and the results of the blood work and biopsy. And their prices are also very reasonable. I finally found a good vet!
My mothers dog Cricket fell I'll and her vet was out of town. The dog was so Ill it didn't recover. The vet and staff were so compassionate and professional they really helped my mother through one of the worst days imaginable. In the future I will take all my family pets to them. I was truly impressed and I am grateful to them.
Choosing the right vet for your pet can be tough. After all, your furry friend can't tell you how he or she feels about the doctor. Even though you're not the one treated by the vet, whoever your animal sees is obviously your decision. Since many veterinary diseases and injuries can turn into emergencies very quickly, it's important to have a go-to vet. This way, you can ensure you'll know whom to see when your animal needs care.
Speak to your friends and family about vets who've treated their pets. You can even talk to your groomer or an animal shelter worker for referrals. When you visit the clinics you've been referred to, check that the facility is clean, animals are separated and the staff is calm and courteous. Not all clinics are American Animal Hospital Association accredited. This accreditation isn't a legal necessity, though a clinic that's AAHA-accredited is guaranteed to offer high-quality medical care. To receive accreditation, the clinic has to meet the AAHA's standards in the areas of facility, equipment and quality care.
If you're looking for a specialist, you want to make sure he or she is board-certified to practice in that specific area of animal medicine. You'll want to make sure your vet is also convenient to visit, so there are factors to take into account.
The type of animal you own should play a part in which vet you choose as well. While your options are vast if you have a dog or cat, you may have to visit an avian clinic for your bird or an exotics clinic for your snake.
Just as there are many types of doctors, there are many types of vets. Some focus on livestock or house pets, while others may specialize in dentistry or surgery. They may work in a veterinary clinic or zoo, working specifically with the animals housed there, or travel to farms to work with livestock. Since horse racing and other equestrian activities are so popular, some vets are trained to work just with horses.
Diseases, like malaria and yellow fever are also transmitted through animals. Some vets have insight to diseases that affect both humans and animals. Vets have contributed to the treatment and cure of many diseases that plagued both humans and their furry friends.
Government agencies employ veterinarians as well. When an animal comes from a foreign land, these vets quarantine them and check for any diseases that may be present in an effort to control new diseases that can be brought into the country. Other Specific types of vets include:
A vet assistant works alongside the veterinarian and helps out around the clinic. In some cases, they may assist vets in surgery or restrain struggling animals during tests or lab work. The everyday duties of a veterinary assistant include; monitoring and caring for animals after surgery, keeping medical records, cleaning animals' teeth, feeding and bathing them, cleaning cages, sterilizing surgical equipment, giving animals medication, collecting samples for testing and performing laboratory tests, and offering grief counseling to pet owners.
It's a good idea to bring your pet to the vet regularly. This way, he or she becomes familiar and comfortable with the care providers, and you can stay on top of your pet's preventative care. If the animal is small enough, bring it to the office in a carrier. Just as you visit the doctor for a yearly check up, you should bring in your pet for regular check ups as well. During a routine veterinary visit, the vet will probably begin by asking you if there have been any changes in your pet's behavior or habits.
The vet will then take your pet's vitals, like weight, temperature, pulse and respiration rate, and perform a physical examination of the pet. During a physical exam, the vet checks the abdomen for swollen organs, and the legs, feet and joints for any potential problems. Depending on the age, breed or condition of your pet, your veterinarian may also check the eyes, ears and mouth.
When your vet conducts a full body examination, he or she will check out your pet's coat and skin, noting any hair loss, itchy spots or lumps. Keep note of your animal's shedding habits so you can let the vet know if anything seems abnormal. The vet will check for parasites, fleas, ticks, mites and heartworms as well.
Vaccinations are also important to your pet, especially if you have a cat or a dog, and your vet will suggest that you make sure they're current. Keeping up to date with vaccinations can prevent your furry friend from getting distemper, rabies, hepatitis and lyme disease. Some vaccinations last longer than others, so speak to your doctor about staying caught up with your animal's shots.
Just like your own health insurance, you want to make sure your animal is covered before he or she needs veterinary services. Some common animal surgeries can cost thousands of dollars, and you don't want to end up having to foot a surprise bill that costs more than your paycheck.
There's no set price for pet health insurance. Costs can depend on factors such as where you live, the age and breed of your pet, and how much coverage you want. Before you take out a pet insurance policy, you'll want to meet with your vet to go over what he or she thinks your animal should be covered for. Many vets believe that you should make sure cancer, chronic disease, hereditary and congenital disease, and common breed-related medical conditions are all addressed in your policy.
Some pet owners can't afford insurance for their pet, so there are other options to make paying for surprise pet visits as easy as possible. Some pet stores have wellness plans - which tend to be much cheaper than an insurance policy - that offer shots, check ups, screenings and discounts on various procedures your pet may need. A lot of veterinary offices offer payment plans for pricey procedures as well, as long as you have decent credit history. For a last-ditch option, there are even privately funded organizations that offer pet owners financial aid for their pet's treatments.

FORT WORTH (CBS 11 NEWS) – In the days before former Fort Worth ISD Superintendent Walter Dansby submitted his resignation, a jury found the school district guilty of violating the Texas Whistleblower Act, according to a press release from a Dallas law firm.
The law firm, Neave & Scott, represented former FWISD Assistant Principal Joseph Palazzolo, who claimed he was demoted, transferred and fired in 2010, after he reported attendance fraud, discrimination, and inappropriate sexual relations in the district.
A jury trial was held in Wise County in late March 2014, at the end of which the 12-member jury found in favor of Palazzolo, according to the statement. On May 29, the court signed a final judgment against FWISD, ordering the district to pay Palazzolo more than $2.7 million.
The law firm will hold a news conference on Thursday to further discuss the case, as well as a separate law suit filed against Dansby, which is still pending. The suit against Dansby claims he insisted microphones be used in the closed session of a district board meeting, where statements against Palazzolo were recorded and released online.
In a move that surprised many parents and even some school board trustees, Dansby submitted his resignation to the FWISD School Board at its June 2 meeting. His last day as Superintendent was June 9. Conditions of his resignation will allow him to stay employed with the district as a District Ambassador for Public Relations until Jan 31, 2015. Dansby will collect nearly $900,000 from the district until that time.
