ELM GROVE - And then there were none.
Lafferty saw its 13-game winning streak to start the 2014 Steele and Cook Insurance Ohio Valley Baseball League season come to a crashing halt here Tuesday night. The streaking Wheeling Cardinals (13-2) continued their solid play in all aspects of the game in handing the Dodgers a 5-3 loss on Patterson Field.
"We were in the ballgame. That's all you can ask for," Lafferty player/manager Jordan Barbina said. "We were hanging around there at the end hoping something would go our way. Today nothing went our way and we got the loss."
The victory was the red-hot Cardinals 11th straight since a 3-2 setback to Lafferty (13-1) on May 18. Wheeling also lost to Jefferson County on opening night.
"We're playing pretty well right now," Cardinals' player/manager Ricky Szeligo said, "Tonight we got a great effort on the mound from Noah (Mull); got the timely hits; and made the routine plays on defense."
The Cardinals, the 2008 OVBL champions, took advantage of a Dodgers' throwing error in the bottom of the first to take a 1-0 lead.
Lafferty evened things in its second at-bat when Zeke Whorton singled to left with one out. After advancing to second on a wild pitch from Wheeling starter Noah Mull, the former Martins Ferry standout went to third on Paul DeMarchi's single to center and raced home on Matt Masarick's two-strike sacrifice fly.
Wheeling would take the lead for good with a pair of tallies in the third. Aaron Fonner laced a leadoff double down the leftfield line and scored one-out later when Joe SanFelippo doubled over DeMarchi's head in center. Szeligo's two-out single to right-center plated San Felippo.
The hosts also used some two-out lightning in the fifth to pad their margin at 5-1. After Lafferty turned a nifty 4-6-3 double play, Joe SanFelippo doubled to right-center for his third hit of the game. Older brother Tony followed with a four-pitch walk from hard-luck loser Cameron Smith. Szeligo walked to load the bases and Budda Henry sent two runners home with a single to left.
"Joe is really been hitting the ball well," Szeligo. "We hope he continues to do so and Budda has been clutch all year."
Lafferty didn't go quietly as it scored twice in the sixth to make it a 5-3 game. Barbina legged out an infield single leading off and Austin Curry walked. Both advanced on a wild pitch before Darby Waller drew a base-on-balls to jam the bases. Tyler Grant walked on a 3-2 pitch to make it 5-2 and DeMarchi's one-out sacrifice fly drove in Curry with the final run as Mull struck out the next hitter to snuff out the rally.
"That's the first time I've really pitched competitively since 2012 when I was in the (San Diego) Padres' system," Mull, a former Wheeling Central product who was a 38th round pick in 2010. "I was tired after the second inning, but the guys played well behind me and we scored enough runs to win."
Mull fanned nine, allowed four singles and walked four in tossing 113 pitches - a whopping 36 in the sixth inning alone - with 72 being strikes. He threw a first-pitch strike to 16 of the 28 batters he faced and retired the final half-a-dozen he faced, four of them on strikes. Seven of his punchouts were swinging.
"Our pitching has been phenomenal all season," Szeligo noted. "Noah was great again tonight."
Joe SanFelippo finished with a single, two doubles, three runs scored and an RBI. Fonner, the No. 9 hitter, singled twice.
Lafferty was playing with a patchwork lineup due to an injury and a handful of players leaving for various reasons. Ace pitchers Mark Smyth and Greg Stagani, both Edison and West Liberty hurlers, are reportedly pitching in a league in Kentucky this summer, while catcher Clay Francis has a dislocated finger and first baseman Tyler McGary is completing an internship in D.C. Also, pitcher MoMo Felt has joined Wheeling American Legion Post 1 and former Linsly and Post 1 standout shortstop Alex Stephens was a no-show.
"We're still having fun," Barbina said. "Today just wasn't our day."
Lafferty returns home Friday to face rival Maynard on the Community Park diamond. The first pitch is set for 6 p.m. Wheeling entertains Hannibal.

When I hear money laundry lingo in TV crime-series, people sometimes fence stuff for so and so much "on the dollar". What does it actually mean? And where does the expression originate from?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
It means that you are paying a price of 'X' for every dollar it is worth.
For example, if you are buying a refrigerator worth $100 for $60, you are paying at 60 cents on a dollar.
This expression can be used when something is sold at a premium too. Like, someone can sell you a stock at $1.50 on a dollar.
The use of this phrase can help people calculate profit or loss percentage pretty fast. I guess that could be the origin of the expression too.
To get at the origin part of your question, I've got no definitive answer but was able to find it in print back to at least 1797. Here's an example from early New York State Law authorizing the state to collect a tax on its citizens:
Interestingly, this was not too long after the term dollar was officially adopted as a name for U.S. currency (and only three years after they were first minted) according to this bit on the word from Etymonline:
I suspect that the origin is in insolvency where debtors only got back part of their claims, measured in X cents on the dollar (rather than X percent), and that this later became a more general phrase for a discounted payment.

BRUNSWICK — A Brunswick senior and his friends are hoping to inject some positive vibes in Northeast Ohio with the YouTube video "Cleveland is Happy" they filmed March 1.
The video, released Tuesday, shows Clevelanders dancing downtown to "Happy" by Pharrell Williams, and as of Friday night had netted more than 12,000 views on YouTube.
"It was to get people on their feet," said Jesse Marianut, a Brunswick High School senior who filmed the video with senior Kevin Stankiewicz and Axel Larsson, an exchange student from Sweden.
He said the sometimes struggling sports teams and long, cold winter has gotten a lot of people down.
"We were sick of hearing people being down about Cleveland and this winter," he said. "We wanted to show people out and about doing things."
The video is Marianut's take on the official music video released by Willams showing happy people dancing around in a city's alleyways, streets and bridges.
"We tried getting popular landmarks and places around Cleveland into the background," Marianut said.
Marianut said the trio approached groups of people on the street and told them they were trying to improve morale in the Cleveland area. They showed the video for "Happy" on their smartphones and asked people to dance for the camera. The students found plenty of takers in downtown Cleveland.
"People really got into it; they wanted to dance," Marianut said.
"We wanted to show Cleveland is a positive place," he said.
Marianut said he edited the video himself and that producing videos is a hobby.
He said he hoped to get about 1,000 hits by Friday, and was surprised to smash that goal with more than 10,000 by Friday afternoon.
"We're just really excited to see how many views it's going to get," he said.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
petroleum byproduct, biodegradable, plastic bags, methane, greenhouse gas emissions,
Petroleum products are environmentally preferable to biodegradable ones? This news is hard to take.
"Biodegradable" plastics, often touted as an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based plastic--which can take decades to decompose--have flooded the marketplace in recent years. The Federal Trade Commission defines biodegradability as the ability to decompose "within a short time" after disposal. But according to a new report, "Is Biodegradability a Desirable Attribute for Discarded Solid Waste? Perspectives from a National Landfill Greenhouse Gas Inventory Model," rapid decomposition may be causing more harm than good.
North Carolina State University researchers have found that biodegradable products release methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, when they're dumped in landfills. "Biodegradable materials, such as disposable cups and utensils, are broken down in landfills by microorganisms that then produce methane," Dr. Morton Barlaz, co-author of the paper, told Inhabitat. "Methane can be a valuable energy source when captured, but it is a potent greenhouse gas when released into the atmosphere."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that about 31 percent of landfills allow methane to escape. "If we want to maximize the environmental benefit of biodegradable products in landfills," Barlaz says, "we need to both expand methane collection at landfills and design these products to degrade more slowly – in contrast to FTC guidance."
Ultimately, the report's authors state, if emissions for biodegradable material are comparable to or higher than emissions from biodegradable material, "then it is hard to rationalize a suggestion that the biodegradable material is the preferable alternative."
This study highlights our deep need to address landfill operations and develop better biodegradable alternatives. Whatever the issues with biodegradable plastics, petroleum-based products aren't the answer.

I read this piece by Mark Ferguson, posted on LabourList tonight:
Tomorrow Tony Blair is making a major speech on Europe, which I'll be attending. Ahead of the speech, I received a press release entitled "Blair for EU President campaign starts tomorrow: Join us!"
Ferguson goes on to tell us:
According to the press release,
Tomorrow (November 28) Tony Blair will kick-start his campaign to become the EU's president. We will be there to support him between 9-9.30am…Members of the London office of the Blair for President Preparatory Committee will be waiting to greet Tony with colourful campaign posters carrying the slogan: Tony Blair for EU President – Integrity in Action
We then get an intriguing bit of investigative legwork, worth reading in full, which comes to the following conclusion:
They've also held at least one joint event with The Bruges Group, who describe themselves as "A neoliberal think tank which researches and publishes against European federation and against British participation in a single European state." Sound like Blair fans to you? Or a group that would want any EU President? No, it rather sounds like a bunch of rightwingers running a false flag operation to me.
Finally, onto this update, aimed at clarifying the matter:
Update: The People's Pledge contacted us with the following statement:
"Marc has set up, in his own time, what is clearly a spoof campaign, to highlight the importance of the EU presidency. The Democracy Movement has a long history of spoof campaigns to highlight certain issues on which they campaign."
Take a look at the website for yourself and see if you think it's clearly a spoof…
Now in the grander scheme of things, with disabled, sick, unemployed and poor people getting the very worst treatment in recent history from the government of this once fair nation, you might think that Ferguson is playing the navel-gazing Westminster Village just one too many times.
But, on reflection, I really do not think he is wasting his – or our – time on this matter.
I think, in fact, he may be on to much more than even he believes.
All through the calvary of the last two years or so, as the austerity drum has been savagely beaten by our leaders and as the rich and wealthy have acquired more riches and wealth, I've found it really really difficult to understand the hatred the Tories would appear to manifest for the disadvantaged constituencies mentioned above.
As a driver to do further ill, I can understand the psychological fear that treating millions of people harshly might engender in those who impose such policies. But hatred of the poor doesn't seem at all the kind of motivation which – in itself – sustains, by itself, such a continuous and permanently unpleasant race against equality.
In so many cases, too, it's almost as if the government's yardstick for policy selection has been as follows: "Choose something – anything – which a) hasn't yet been done and b) no one else wants!" It doesn't matter that there is no evidence to support the utility of a policy in particular; it doesn't even matter that so many professionals, freely offering their advice, suggest that disaster will accompany its implementation. No. The important thing, the key thing, the guiding light for this current government, seems to be as I suggest: "Do it – whatever it is – as long as no one else wants it done."
Hating the poor, the sick and the disabled? No. I don't think this is enough to explain these behaviours. For this government also hates doctors, lawyers, teachers and a whole host of other educated and fairly wealthy souls.
You know what? I think this has so very much more to do with Blair and his legacy than any of us could quite have imagined. Much more, in fact, to do with Blair himself; much less to do with New Labour as an entity. This is personal. This is painful. This is upper middle-aged white men who spent most of their political lives in the wilderness of Blair's shadow. They hate the poor, the sick and the disabled – but they also hate the lawyers, doctors and teachers.
Don't you see it? They actually hate the intelligentsia! That's who they really despise. Those, who with their intelligence and evidence, defend a permanent reworking of Darwinian capitalism.
I do really wonder if what's at the bottom of this Coalition project, what's really driving it mightily along at an entirely visceral and gut-wrenching level, is a vigorous and unceasing hatred of a powerful figure like Blair's clearly was; even, perhaps, a vigorous and unceasing desire to excise him altogether from recent political relevance.
In a phrase, a pretty terrifying desire to undo his achievements entirely; to destroy all national recognition; to airbrush his presence and personal weight.
Essentially, to take him out – to take him out of the British body politic forever.
A Soviet-style rewriting of recent history? Perhaps this is, indeed, what's now driving this terrible terrible flock of silly politicians. It's not us they hate exactly you see. It's the "us" that Blair made us who they simply can't abide. The "us" that strove, however imperfectly, to create a new Jerusalem in a kingdom of the united.
A man who attempted the impossible and failed quite miserably abroad.
And yet not altogether – not quite when back at home.
The sick, poor and disabled who now fight for their rights; the doctors, lawyers, teachers and other members of the intelligentsia who will not lie down meekly and capitulate … they are his legacy far more than anything else we thought he intended.
And all this so reminds me of other Eastern bloc countries which operated in other awful times. When history ends up in the hands of the obsessed and bitter, the unprofessional and the demagogue, it becomes a sour weapon which can destroy us all.
Which brings me to my final thought: if these dreadful Coalition politicians are so full of a Blair-driven spite as I imagine, isn't there something we should see and salvage from all that Blair managed to leave us? And aren't the battles the disadvantaged are now waging against the intellectual impoverishment of the Tory Party exactly that sign of lasting achievement which – quite justly – Tony Blair will be able to take to his political grave?
Even as we, his unwilling sons and daughters, end up object of the worst kind of collateral damage this country has ever seen.

The controversial Microsoft Ad CampaignFriday, June 29th, 2007
Recently Valleywag posted about a Blogger sellout where major well known bloggers such as Om Malik, Richard Macmanus and Michael Arrington amongst many others sold out to do a similar ad as displayed above. This caused a firestorm where people are talking about a blogger sellout to big bad Microsoft. Om Malik immediately apologized, Michael Arrington is unapologetic, who is right and who is wrong? Many more continue to chime in.
It's just an Advertising for crying out loud, relax you people. Everyone seems too fussed about how these bloggers sold their soul. They are web celebrities, that's what web celebrities do! Michael Arrington put it best when he wrote:
So here's my position on all of this: Go pound sand. People understand that if there's text in an ad box, someone is paying for it to be there.
Indeed, how is this different than some business person endorsing a new drink, credit card or banking service? It's the same as opening up a newspaper and it says in big bold writing: THIS IS A SPONSORED PAGE PAID BY THE ADVERTISER.
No difference.
With Valleywag posting up a storm on this issue they've proved one thing over and over again about blogging. It's as sensationalist driven as the traditional media they blame for being too "sensationalist".

June 21, 2013 | Vol. 94, No. 145
To the Editor:
I would like to publicly thank Tom Bergman, Iron County zoning administrator, for his continued efforts on behalf of the citizens of Iron County. In a sincere and professional effort to get appropriate zoning language for metallic mining conditional use permits in place, Bergman presented a proposal draft to the zoning committee on Tuesday.
The proposal is the result of his thorough study of Iron County's nonmetallic mining ordinance and the metallic mining ordinances of Oneida, Rusk, Taylor and Ashland counties, and of consultation with Iron County's corporation counsel Mike Pope and attorney Paul Kent from Madison, Wis ., with final review by Will Andresen, University of Wisconsin-Extension and Jason Laumann of Northwest Regional Planning Commission.
To have zoning regulations on the books before a mining project officially begins is important for protecting Iron County taxpayers from having to pay expenses incurred because of a mining operation and to ensure adequate protection of our resources and neighbors of the mine.
Thank you, Bergman, for your thorough understanding of our needs and for taking the time to do this right. Thank you also to the zoning committee for following Bergman's lead and for scheduling the public hearing set for July 1.

Estelle Swaray is a true musician. Being able to rap, belt out a signature smooth melodic tone, and compose it all in songs she wrote herself, Estelle embodies what all the real music lovers would consider a rarity in today's music- a true R&B artist. Although she hails from across the pond in West London, England, she connects with the down-home folk just like she's the girl that grew up next door.
Estelle may have been born in the UK, but she has roots from her mother's family coming from the West African nation of Senegal and her father's Caribbean island influences that help make her culture. She grew up listening to her family's reggae records and grooving to the soul of the collection. As she grew older she discovered Hip-Hop. "I got into Hip Hop from my uncle; he was always playing us Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane; he was a bad boy and my mum was not really happy that I was hanging out with him," Estelle confesses.
Estelle began her own music journey in London's renowned hip-hop record shop called Deal Real. Estelle got her start in London's renowned hip-hop record store Deal Real. Her fellow employees encouraged her to take a chance and get on the mike on-stage; soon she was playing numerous London clubs. Running with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Lily Allen from the UK and Kanye West, John Legend, and Jill Scott from the American side of the globe, Estelle has been able to establish herself as a solid force in the R&B music game.
According to Estelle herself , when it comes to music "they are talking about the 'British invasion...we are here!" This year she is back celebrating Essence Festival 2014 in New Orleans by taking to the Essence Superlounge stage at the Mercedes Benz Superdome on the second night of the festival. This was Estelle's second performance at the Essence Festival. Earlier in the weekend she promised her show this time would be bigger and better. She delivered.
When asked what her 2014 festival performance would be like, she eagerly answered "we are going to have a lot of fun". Touching on old hits and blending them with new sultry tunes, Estelle wooed the festival goers. She took the crowd on a journey from earlier hits such as "Come Over" to new hits such as the racy "Freak" and the even racier "Make Her Say".
Decked in a chiffon white top, Estelle was full of Independence Day spirit at the Essence Festival. As moving about the Superdome, she was eager and super chatty with the festival-goers. When asked about how much she was enjoying herself she responded with feeling "blessed to be here celebrating". She also commented on excited she was to be here to see her friend Prince perform later in that same evening. Her celebratory spirit definitely was shining through.

Our lemon fields in Sicily:
So special they are protected by the EU and are called Limone di Siracusa IGP. Lemons of the highest quality.
1 box (6) €12.50
Delivery costs: €6.75
The Netherlands only
If you are interested in buying this magic piece just contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Our nonno ("grandfather") Francesco Fiorito was born and raised on the island of Sicily, in the beautiful Taormina at the foot of Mt. Etna. It is here that he met our grandmother and migrated with her to The Netherlands. The Italian part of our family lives in Taormina, a place well-worth visiting.
Certain agricultural products are protected in the EU as they are of exceptional quality. IGP means Indicazione Geografica Protetta, or PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) in English. The lemons are from the protected geographical area of Siracusa. We are very proud that our lemons are protected by this legislation. Other well-known high quality products carrying this indication are Champagne, Parma Ham and Parmigiano Reggiano.
Yes-absolutely. To be honest, we believe that all limoncello should be made exclusively with organic lemons. The skin of lemons is used to make limoncello. Non-organic lemons are waxed and sprayed with pesticides. So, it would be fair to say that if we did use regular lemons, we would be poisoning you!
Limoncello Superiore is an international hallmark developed by producers of
limoncello. Limoncello bottles with the hallmark Limoncello Superiore contain
a premium limoncello with a guaranteed quality.
Limoncello Superiore is made with:
• 100% natural lemons
• More than 300 grams of lemons per liter
• Solely manually peeled lemons
• Less than 250 grams of sugar per liter
• And an alcohol percentage between 30-32%
Yes, our lemons are still peeled by hand, as only then can we continue to preserve that exclusive mild taste of our limoncello.
After the lemons are peeled, the lemons are collected by a juice company in order to make lemon juice. This way nothing is wasted. We feel this is the least we can do for a better global environment.
Never in our wildest dreams did we believe we would set-up our own limoncello business as we have today. Making limoncello was our passion and our hobby and we were making it in our own kitchens. We found this bottle was easy to close and could be used over and over again. Now it stands for our craftsmanship and symbolises our humble beginnings.
Ahh...let me think... uhmm...no.
We use 96% grain alcohol.
No, you cannot. The sale of pure alcohol (96%) is strongly regulated by the government.
Just have a look at our store locator, for the nearest location. It is also for sale in various webshops.
Exclusive is the correct wording here, it is not for sale everywhere. However, if you are interested please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will be happy to help you.
Yes we are looking for distributors. If you are interested please send an email to email@example.com

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
So special they are protected by the EU and are called Limone di Siracusa IGP. Lemons of the highest quality.
On Wednesdays and Thursdays we pick the best Limone di Siracusa IGP by hand.
Only the best lemons will be chosen for our limoncello. After selection the lemons are soaked in a water bath and are transported.
On Mondays our lemons arrive and are given another water bath to freshen up.
The lemons are hand-peeled in order to avoid any white pith in our limoncello.
The peeled lemons are brought to a juicing company to make lemon juice. Nothing is wasted.
The lemon zest is poured in a large tank filled with alcohol.
The alcohol extracts all the essential oils and flavors from the zest, leaving only the best.
Before bottling the lemon extract is mixed with sugar and water.
The quality of our limoncello is tested personally, by us. Only the best is good enough to bottle.
This is how you make genuine limoncello!

Here are some great tips on how to help motivate yourself! https://t.co/ZHAxOnoVP0
Self development is key to anyone's success. Always look for ways to grow and develop yourself as an individual. https://t.co/V3WyjjgFpq
What is Ignition?
The Ignition program is a research based, highly interactive and customized transition and peer mentorship program developed by FOCUS Training. It is specifically designed to make the transition of new students into the building a positive experience for everyone in your school.
What We Do
The Ignition program utilizes consulting, training, curriculum, and support materials to successfully implement a new student orientation and peer mentorship program. Many schools that implement Ignition have components of a successful orientation or mentorship program. Ignition can help bring all of your current components together through our comprehensive approach, maximizing student achievement and development of 21st century skills.
How We Do It
Step 1 Consult - Professional Development, Training and Consulting for Staff
FOCUS Training will work with an advisory team to build a program that fits your school's unique needs by considering mentor recruitment, time, space, budget, class size, related program and learning objectives. We will teach your Ignition advisors how to run every aspect of the program. We use pre-consulting assessments, on-site and/or off-site training, and ongoing consultation to ensure success at your school.
Step 2 Synergize – Professional Development and Organizational Structure for Mentors
At this phase, recruited Ignition mentors learn how to do their job well by developing leadership skills, understanding how to manage the organization, and begin planning for a full year of Ignition success. At the conclusion of this day committees will have been formed, and each committee will have several well developed goals to guide their efforts in preparation for an exciting first day.
We recommend a 1:10 or 2:10 Ignition mentor to mentee relationship.
Step 3 Train – Facilitation Training for Mentors and Preparation for Orientation
Mentors will learn how to facilitate the adventure course activities and manage all aspects of the Ignite and Fuel activities. They will learn how to provide safe, interactive, and educational training to develop 21st century skills for their team of new students.
Step 4 Ignite – Orientation Day
The first day of class will be packed with excitement! Students will be mentally and physically engaged in the process. With an adventure course, large group activities, a mock schedule, and much more – it will be the first of many exciting and meaningful changes within your school.
We have found that a freshman only first day is the most effective way to bring new students into the building. This allows for a deeper connection with mentors and staff by focusing on developing these new relationships.
Step 5 Fuel – Comprehensive Social and Academic Curriculum
This year-long curriculum includes 60 teaching guides and supporting documentation that will help mentors facilitate small group activities and discussions about topics that affect new students. These include: study habits, critical thinking, involvement, respect, exams, career exploration, healthy choices, test taking, tolerance and bullying, body image, life skills, and much more. The leadership development curriculum will give new students the skills they need to succeed throughout high school and beyond.
FOCUS Training recommends that your mentors meet with new students two to four times per month. This structure is set during the pre-consulting or consulting steps of implementation. Some schools utilize advisory periods while others find the time during lunch, homeroom, study halls, before or after school, etc.
Step 6 Refresh – Ongoing training for mentors – Sharing best practices and preparation for next year
The purpose of Refresh is to get Ignition Advisors and mentors re-energized for the second semester, work out any first semester challenges, and continue to improve the program overall. It is a time for mentors to sharpen their facilitation skills and prepare for successful Fuel activities for the second semester. All preparations for next year will also be organized.

Risk Management
Risk is the uncertainty of a negative outcome resulting from an action or inaction, from known and unknown factors. Risk can be a source of potential benefit or harm, therefore managing Risk is a fundamental part of successful organizational and project management.
As organizations and projects become more complex, the relationships between key elements and stakeholders complicate the assessment by increasing internal and external dependencies. With increasing external focus on effective risk management,all project personnel must be equipped with an understanding of project risk and how it may be systematically assessed and managed to reduce threats to successful project completion.
Key elements
- Identify underlying problem or evolution whose execution is subject to risk management (Cause-Effect diagram for Root Cause Analysis, Pareto charts, dependency, why-why, and Fishbone diagrams, mind and cognitive mapping, etc.)
- Identify risks (human, operational, reputational, procedural, project, financial,technical, natural, political, and unknowns).
- Identify stakeholders and level of participation (Vroom-Yetton-Jago model and participation ladder) and decision overlap.
- Identify stakeholder communication strategy
- Conduct SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity, threat) analysis and weighted risk assessment (weighted decision tree diagram).
- Identify potential biases and unintended consequences.
- Plan mitigating actions.
- Develop implementation plan.
- Apply actions
- Assess both actions and processes, and compare with intended result (gap analysis).
- Perform lessons learned assesment and identify possible areas for improvement.
- Provide feedback and continuing assurance to all stakeholders.

Acrylic Bath Materials for the Clean Freak in You
As you search around for more information about bathtub materials, acrylic will be the first to make itself known. Here are six reasons that make it one of the most popular bath materials to choose from.
- It's lightweight.
- It's warm to the touch.
- It helps the water stay warmer longer.
- It resists scum and mildew.
- It retains its showroom finish indefinitely.
- The color isn't sprayed on; it goes right through the material so it won't ever fade!
For these reasons, acrylic is like the "Zeus" of bathroom materials. Check this site out for visual on some pieces made from acrylic: Acrylic Material.
Acrylic vs. Other Materials
Understanding the difference between acrylic and other materials may help you decide on which to choose.
- Porcelain is inexpensive, but requires a "wet wall." It is cold to the touch and also cools the water down faster.
- Gel-coated fiberglass is extremely porous, allowing mold and mildew to grow. It isn't the easiest material to clean, either. The color is sprayed on, easily fading and accumulating stains.
- Cast iron is limited in shape and size. Although it is the most durable material, the coating can chip, and it is heavy in weight, therefore requiring a good structural support system.
If you are worried about cleanliness, color, and hardiness of your bathroom materials, acrylic is the way to go. What a wonderful feeling to be truly relieved when you step foot into your tub.

Miami Dolphins: Who will seize their opportunity?
Throughout the course of my career I've discovered a professional athlete must not only have the size and skill needed to compete against his peers, but he must also possess the mental makeup, and hunger to excel.
Without ALL THREE an abbreviated career is just about guaranteed.
Former Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Phillip Merling had the size and ability, possessed the mental makeup, but despite being selected 32nd overall in the 2008 NFL draft, Merling was missing the final ingredient.
He was missing the drive needed to excel.
Merling was beaten out by Kendall Langford, a fourth-round pick in his draft class, for the starting spot as a rookie. Randy Starks leapfrogged him in year two, and serious injury derailed his come up in year three. But overall, anytime the going got tough Merling usually threw in the towel.
That habit ultimately led to Merling's release this summer. He's since signed with the Green Bay Packers and is learning what life's like on the other side of the NFL, when you're not among the chosen ones.
Merling will go down in Dolphins history as the second biggest bust in the Trifecta's run as this franchise's decision makers. The only player he's behind is quarterback Pat White, a 2009 second-round pick, who didn't survive his second training camp with the Dolphins.
The difference between Merling and White is he has the size and skill to be an effective NFL defensive linemen. Maybe this time around, in Green Bay, when the going gets tough this former Clemson standout will get going.
There are a couple of Dolphins players who should use Merling's cautionary tale as motivation.
Here's a breakdown of 10 Dolphins players who need to seize their opportunity, taking advantage of the position the Dolphins' new coaching staff is presenting them.
WR Brian Hartline – Ever since he joined the Dolphins in 2009 Hartline has been put on the back-burner, used as a secondary option. He's delivered solid numbers (109 catches for 1,670 yards and scored six touchdowns) in that role the past three years. But now this former Ohio State standout is being called on to serve as a front-line receiver, asked to carry a larger portion of the Dolphins' passing game. Can he shoulder the load?
QB Matt Moore – When called on to replace Chad Henne this NFL journeyman played well enough to lead the Dolphins to six wins. In the process he produced a 87.1 quarterback rating, which was good enough to rank him 12th among last year's starting quarterbacks. But can Moore shake his poor practice habits and impress a new coaching staff? Will he be accurate enough to excel in a west coast offense? That's the only way Moore will play ahead of David Garrard and hold off rookie Ryan Tannehill, the team's first-round pick.
TE/FB Charles Clay – Clay blossomed slowly last season, contributing 16 catches for 233 yards and scoring three touchdowns in his first stint as a tight end. More will likely be put on his plate in the Dolphins' newly installed west coast offense, and last year's sixth-round pick will need to produce to hold off rookie tight end Michael Egnew, maintaining his status as a promising up-and-comer.
FS Chris Clemons – The Dolphins are searching for a safety to pair with Reshad Jones. Clemons, who started 16 games his first two seasons, gets first crack at regaining old spot because of his athleticism and experience level. But will Clemons make enough impact plays to hold off Jimmy Wilson, Tyrone Culver and Tyrell Johnson, the other contenders?
OG John Jerry – Can John Jerry reclaim his old starting spot? The Dolphins' 2010 third-round pick gets the first crack at earning the starting right guard spot, which he possessed all of the 2010 season. But is Jerry athletic enough, and in good enough shape to thrive in a zone blocking scheme?
OT Lydon Murtha – A player only gets so many chances to earn a starting spot in the NFL. Murtha missed his shot to unseat Marc Colombo as the Dolphins' starting right tackle last year because of a broken foot he suffered in the exhibition season finale. Now he'll compete with rookie tackle Jonathan Martin and veteran lineman Artis Hicks for the right tackle spot. It's possible that if Murtha doesn't win it he could move inside to challenge Jerry for the right guard spot if Miami's coach think he can make the conversion.
OLB Koa Misi – This former Utah standout has contributed 75 tackles and 5.5 sacks in his two seasons as a starting outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. The Dolphins' move to a 4-3 scheme suites Misi a bit more, and might allow the team's 2010 second-round pick to finally blossom as an outside linebacker. But Misi will have to excel to hold off Gary Guyton, a veteran NFL starter.
OT Nate Garner – Back in 2009 Garner had a productive eight game run as one of the Dolphins' starting guards. He was one of the top performers in the second half of that season, opening holes on an offensive line that paved the way for 2,231 rushing yards. But this University of Arkansas product has fallen short of reaching starter status the past two seasons. And when called on to play he's been a liability at times (remember last year's Eagles game?). This could be Garner's last chance to prove he's worth a continued investment.
RB Steve Slaton – This former rookie sensation has had a respectable five-year career, but he's barely hanging on with the Dolphins. He's competing with young tailbacks like Jerome Messam, Marcus Thigpen and Jonas Gray for the final tailback spot on Miami's 53-man roster. With Reggie Bush, Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller firmly positioned ahead of Slaton, he'll need to excel to extend his South Florida stay, convincing the coaches that age and wisdom trumps young and fresh legs.
WR Clyde Gates - His 4.3 speed makes him a rare receiver on this Dolphins roster because he's one of the few who has the ability to stretch the field, keeping safeties honest. But this 2010 fourth-round pick only contributed two catches for 19 yards last season, and is learning the west coast offense at a slower rate than his peers. Gates will need to flash during training camp to hold off the rest of Miami's young and hungry pass catchers, becoming one of the team's top three receivers.

How to Choose Strawberries, a Guide to 6 Yummy Varieties
(Credit: Oof Verschuren)
You can make any of the dishes in Yvette Van Boven's Strawberry Fields Forever feature with supermarket strawberries, but it's worth visiting your farmers' market for a locally grown variety. Just like heirloom tomatoes, these less common types are more perishable but infinitely more flavorful. Here are some to look for, and how to use them.
ALLSTAR Don't let their paler shade of red fool you. These big, firm berries are terrifically sweet and juicy. Serve them with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
HOOD Take one bite of this succulent variety from Oregon and you'll understand what "strawberry flavor" is supposed to taste like. Don't miss out on their short season.
SEASCAPE Bright red and perfectly shaped, Seascapes are not overly sweet, which makes them ideal for jams, jellies, and strawberry shortcake.
MIGNONETTE yes, they can be harder to find, but these petite, fragrant berries–also known as Alpine–have plenty of upside. They're intensely flavored and beautiful in fruit tarts.
EARLIGLOW Prolific in the mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Midwest, these glossy, deep-red beauties start bearing fruit early. Make jam and enjoy them all summer.
TRISTAR The oblong, diminutive Tristar is as close to a wild fraise des bois as you're likely to find stateside. Lightly crush the tender berries with a little sugar and top with heavy cream.

I have a 750GB hard disk with Windows 7 installed. So I shrunk the C: drive to about 80 GB, created two more partitions, one for data (about 615GB), one for ubuntu (30GB) (extended partition). I ran gparted, created a 8.5 GB swap partition inside ubuntu partition, and left whatever to ubuntu root partition. So I went to install ubuntu. After a few tries, everything worked. But now, I noticed some puzzling facts. Here are the output of a few commands:

Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If All-Star game participants are required to bring a highlight reel to the mid-summer classic, Paul Goldschmidt would pack his last at-bat from Wednesday afternoon.
There is no such requirement but Goldschmidt showed clearly why the fans anointed him the starting National League first baseman and why has become one of the most feared hitters in the game.
Just roll the tape to the bottom of the 10th inning, the Diamondbacks down by one run, runners on first and third and Goldschmidt facing Steve Cishek, the Marlins' closer. On the first pitch, Goldschmidt lined a double into the left centerfield gap that scored Ender Inciarte with the tying run and David Peralta with the game-winner. That produced a 4-3 Diamondbacks win over Miami before 18,268 in Chase Field.
With the victory, the Arizona took the series from the Marlins and captured only their fourth series at home this season. The win improved the D-backs home slate to 17-31.
Afterward, Goldschmidt talked about the game-winner.
"It was a slider and (Cishek) throws a pretty good slider," Goldschmidt said. "He got it over the middle of the plate and that one just missed his spot."
The walk-off was the fifth of Goldschmidt's career and the first this season. His last walk-off was against the Orioles on Aug. 13, 2013. In the process, Goldschmidt reached base for the 30th consecutive game, fifth longest in franchise history. Luis Gonzalez holds the club mark with 40 games set in 1998.
Goldschmidt's heroics lifted the Diamondbacks from the depths of another possible defeat. That's because starter Josh Collmenter turned in a quality performance and in seven innings of work limited the Marlins to seven hits and one run but left trailing 1-0. He retired 13 of the first 14 hitters he faced and now has allowed one run or less in four of his last five starts.
"I was able to get in a groove early and throw my fast ball for strikes," Collmenter said. "Overall, this was a great team win and gives us some momentum going into San Francisco and the second half. You always want to be in a position to give the guys a chance to win."
For most of the afternoon, things looked rather gloomy.
The Diamondbacks could not solve Marlins' starter Nathan Eovaldi, whom Goldschmidt said pitched one of the better games against Arizona this season. Reaching Eovaldi only in the eighth, the D-backs managed to knot the game at 1-1 on a lead-off triple from Didi Gregorius and Nick Ahmed's single, the latter's first career major league RBI.
Reliever Brad Ziegler could not keep the Marlins at bay and surrendered a two-run, two-out double to Donovan Solano into the left field corner in the top of the 10th. That gave Miami a 3-1 lead and left closer Cishek eying his 21st save of the season.
Down by two in the last of the 10th, Peralta's single scored Aaron Hill, who singled after a nine-pitch at-bat and moved to second on a walk. That brought the D-backs to within one. Goldschmidt then sent the game-winner to the left centerfield fence that scored two and gave the D-backs their third win in their last four games.
Afterward, manager Kirk Gibson took time to point out one of Goldschmidt's signature characteristics and a principal reason for the walk-off double.
"In that situation in the 10th and the game on the line, you have to be patient," Gibson pointed out. "That's Goldschmidt. He's a disciplined hitter, patient, waits and has a good approach."
Gibson also indicated that part of Goldschmidt's approach is study.
"He watches film and knows pitchers pretty good," Gibson added. "He knows Cishek's release point is lower than most pitchers and waited for the pitch."
On your way to Target Field, that's not a bad highlight to pack in your suitcase.
The Diamondbacks close the "official" first half of the season with a three game set against the Giants at AT&T Park this weekend.
On Friday night, right-hander Mike Bolsinger, with a record of 1-5, 5.15 ERA, takes on Tim Lincecum (8-5, 3.75).
For Saturday, Wade Miley (4-6, 4.43) opposes Ryan Vogelsong (5-6, 3.92), and on Sunday, it's Chase Anderson (6-4, 3.64) taking on Madison Bumgarner (9-7, 3.36).
Some numbers.
Against Lincecum, Paul Goldschmidt continues to put up monster numbers. Since his first at-bat against Lincecum in 2011, Goldschmidt is 15-for-26. That's a .577 average with seven home runs and 17 RBIs.
Against Vogelsong, Goldschmidt is hitting .238 (5-for-31) and Miguel Montero is batting .348 (8-for-23).
For the most part, Bumgarner has had good success against Arizona. Martin Prado is hitting .196 (5-for-26), Goldschmidt .227 (5-for-22) and Montero has an .188 average (6-32).
Against Miley, the only D-backs pitcher in the series with any kind of numbers against the Giants, Buster Posey is hitting .529 (9-for 17) while Pablo Sandoval has a .294 average (5-for-17).
Then, the Diamondbacks break for the All-Star game before returning to Chase Field for a six-game home stand against the Cubs and Tigers.

To walk the night
To feel no love
To know the touch of another kiss
Never more
To walk the night
To forever roam
To escape inside cool darkness alone
I have wandered my whole life long
The night becomes my bride
And everything else must die
World without end for me
Unearthly night
World you fear
Love lies lurking, a wounded dingo-dog
Soon to decease
I have wandered my whole life long
The night becomes my bride
And everything else must die
World without end for me
To walk the night
Solitary friend
Night ethereal
World without end
Forever more, forever

If the Denver Broncos thought their nightmare was over at the end of the first half, they were gravely mistaken.
Like the first half, the second half began with points being put up by the Seattle Seahawks.
Returner Percy Harvin took a short kick by Matt Prater and took it 87 yards to build the Seattle lead to 29 points.
After being forced to punt, the Broncos pinned the Seahawks inside their 10-yard line. Seattle wasn't able to get much going on the drive; and were forced to punt for the first time in the game with 7:22 remaining in the third quarter.
Peyton Manning finally completed a pass of decent(23-yards), but the completion was moot; as Demaryius Thomas had the ball punched out of his arms by Byron Maxwell. It was recovered by Malcolm Smith. This was the second of three Denver turnovers to occur on the Seattle side of the field.
The Seahawks took less than three minutes to capitalize, as receiver Jermaine Kearse broke three seemingly sure tackles for a 23-yard score.
The Broncos finally got on the board with time expired in the third quarter, on Demaryius Thomas' 12th reception of the game (a new Super Bowl record).
On the final play of the third stanza, Wes Welker took a screen pass into the end zone for a two-point conversion. The third ended with the Seahawks leading 36-8.
