Team Assignment Reactions and Winter 5% Challenge, Pre Challenge Assignment #9
Friday, February 15, 2013
Hello fellow Sparkers. Today I am going to do Pre Challenge #9. I know I am out of order but I love living on the edge that way. ;-)
I have been assigned to the Casual Travelers team and was quite aghast at the idea that I am on the ONE team that does not "race". Me, who thrives under peer pressure and wants to earn my team those exercise miles! Being in a racing challenge and not going to race?!? I asked questions, I asked to be moved to another team (yes, that was me), I tried to wrap my head around doing the 5% Challenge but not really doing it because it's supposed to be a race!! LOL! Aren't I silly?
What I found out was- 1) No, I cannot be moved to another team, and 2) The Casual Travelers are an amazing team and I WANT to be on this team.
Turns out the reason they don't race, and I am still not sure how exactly that all works reporting-wise and team-points wise, is that some of the members CANNOT wrack up the massive exercise minutes that others of us can because they suffer from physical ailments that just don't allow it. Oh. Paint me stupid. And callous. And boy do I feel like a heel. (And rightly so!)
Me, earlier this week.
One of the reasons I really, really LOVE the 5% Challenge is the team spirit and camaraderie that comes from cheering each other on and supporting each other through the difficult days and celebrating our successes and achievements. I love that stuff. I love being able to help my teammates and one of the ways I do that is by gently nudging them to do a little MORE exercise every day. I am the torch bearer of getting up off your butt and moving in new ways and challenging yourself to do MORE and this is because I myself have found that the more I do, the more I can do. And I am also the one not taking any excuses from anybody. I can spot excuses a mile away! (Because, yes, I try to use them myself!) And I will call you on them! I am also the one happy to "hold you accountable", which is what so many people say they want. Happy to oblige!! I think a good kick in the pants truly helps. This is how I am a good team member. I push a tiny bit. People seem to like it. (I push myself hardest.)
So now, here I am on a team with some members who I can't push. It'd be mean. Right? I can't implore them to push harder, can I? To give a bit more, to say that I know they can and that they'll be rewarded for it. Because maybe they can't and maybe instead of being rewarded by going extra hard, they suffer a set back. And it hurts them. Yikes. I need to change how I go about being a good team member. Less pushing, more cheering? I'm sure I'll figure it out. The ladies all seem so nice and interesting and into the challenge. I'm still going to give it my all and strive to reach my goal. And hopefully, I will help them reach theirs.
Go Casual Travelers!!!
Now for the Pre-Challenge Assignment:
My starting weight: 150 (estimating that)
My goal weight: 142.5 (5% of 150 is 7.5)
I will eat within a calorie range of 1200- 1350 calories every day.*
I will exercise enough to burn at least 3500 calories each week.
Doing this, I will weigh 142.5 at the end of this challenge, April 20, 2013.
* I altered my weight goal and it came up with a horrendously high calorie range. There is NO WAY I can eat that many calories and lose that amount of weight. Yes, I do know this for a fact. Been there, done that. So, I have adjusted my calorie range to what I know works for me. (I do NOT lose a pound for every 3500 calorie deficit, it's more like 6500. I also do not gain one pound for every 3500 calories over, more like 2! I tend to whine about this on a regular basis.)
Let's reach our goals and put our ugly fat away in a cupboard somewhere!!

First off, let me say how I loved your honesty. It takes a lot of guts for someone to say that they felt a it disappointed, especially when their teammates can come and read it. But you were being honest and I love how you found strength in what first seemed as a weakness. Having someone on a team to be the push behind the rest is always needed, but having people to cheer for you is just as needed.

Sounds like a great team. I had misconceptions about it too. We'll see how the Firecrackers do. I haven't see anything about friending the other members on the team but I'll still do that. I have no expectations other than what I'll demand of myself.
Wishing you lots of success & fun along the way.

Oh girl, you made me laugh. You are so funny. I was taken aback a little bit when I found out that the team doesn't race, but when I read further into it, I was so relieved..... my knees are busted, and I have to adjust everything I do. And I might hold back another team. I had quit the last challenge a year ago because I just couldn't keep up. And although everyone was great, I felt like I am just useless to the team. So now I don't have to worry about winning, but about improving my abilities every day. I noticed that the more I do in little increments, the stronger my muscles are and my knees are getting stronger. And of course, with the extra weight coming off, they are going to be better already.
So I agree, let's cheer each other on. There is a lot we can do to push our team 'lightly' with what can be achieved, because for some this is a very important point of their lives, and without support, they might give up and sticking with it is the real race :)
I'm very glad you are on my team, girl!

We'll all figure it out as we go, I think.
And I'm one of those team members that you CAN push. My only excuse to not get my fitness minutes in is laziness.
(Okay, so, yeah, I am super busy and I do have a new puppy in the house, and blah, blah, blah -- Oh how I love my excuses).
Gooooooooooo Team!

Yes it's that time of year. When all the colleges take time off for the rights of spring. They have struggled through winter. They have made it through 75% of the school year. They need time to regroup for that last push towards the end. They have been cooped up in their dorms studying to all hours. Never getting out to play and relax. You know these college students they don't party all that much. Yeah Right.
It's here spring break, and Florida is the state to do it in. Some will head to Panama City in the panhandle. Others will head to Daytona Beach. Finally, there are those who will hit the west coast of Florida namely St. Pete and Clearwater.
As I happen to live in Tampa and can tell you the gulf temperature is about 69 degrees. The forecast high for the next week is about 75 and the lows are in the 60's. The sun is out and it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. The hotels, restaurants, and bars are ready to receive their spring breakers and some colleges have already had their time in the sun. The beaches are fantastic and the tans they are a coming.
If it's not the sun and surf then there are the attractions in Tampa and Orlando that are willing and waiting to be of service.
I know most of you have been buried in snow this past winter and your tired of seeing it. Well here in Tampa the only snow we have to deal with comes in our snow cones. I must tell you though I was at Pass-a-Grille beach which is at the end of St. Pete, and it was beautiful the other day. They have been putting down all that new sand for the upcoming season. The sea gulls are out and about and the sea food is delicious.
So if it's spring break and you don't know where to go or what to do then come to central Florida and watch some spring training Baseball and get your tans. Enjoy your time here and we will give you memories galore.

I'm not opposed to comments against the space program but I am opposed to a blanket condemnation of the space program as I feel that not only do we learn from it but it fills a need for exploration and hope for many people. Saving the snail darter just isn't going to cut it as a final frontier for most people. I think we need to not only save the earth but also look out to the stars. If we neglect either we will deny something in us that both wants to protect our home and go into the unknown.

Zoology refers to the study of animals. The abbreviation "zoo", refers to a place where animals are confined, displayed to the public and bred. Children love to visit a zoo. The word, zoo can itself bring a smile on their faces. It also fascinates a lot of animal lovers and people who wish to be on the lap of nature. It can be considered as an ideal picnic spot, backed with environment study. Zoo animal information will help us know the animals that are bred in the zoo. It also helps in observing the characters displayed by animals without much risk. There are around a 1,000 variety of animals, for public viewing, across the world.
Here's a list of the animals found in a zoo:
We have special cells, to keep these animals in the zoo.

TUCSON- Lindsey Collins' 13th home run of the season with one out in the bottom of the eighth gave Arizona a 3-2 victory over top-ranked Washington before a season-high crowd of 2,329 at Rita Hillenbrand Stadium.
UA pitcher Jenny Finch (23-2) held the Huskies to four hits and struck out eight, plus hit a home run - one of three the Cats used to come back from a 2-0 deficit and beat the Huskies for the first time in five tries this year.
Arizona shortstop Allison Andrade led off the bottom of the seventh with her eighth home run of the year to tie the game at 2.
Arizona has lost only three games against the rest of its schedule but had been unable to beat the league-leading Huskies in four previous tries -- once in Tucson at the beginning of the year, once at a tournament in Fullerton, Calif., and twice at Seattle last month. Arizona improved to 48-7 overall and 11-4 in Pac-10 play. Washington dropped to 52-6 and 12-3.
Washington reliever Jennifer Spediacci (28-3) took the loss after entering the game with the Huskies leading 2-0.
Washington jumped to a quick 2-0 lead on Jenny Topping's 21st home run of the year, following a single by Kelly Hauxhurst and a fielder's choice by Jaime Clark in the first inning. But UA pitcher Finch held the Huskies to only one hit after the first inning.
Finch's solo home run, her 15th of the year but first in Pac-10 play, gave UA its first run in the sixth.
Arizona concludes its schedule with games at 6 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday against the No. 3-ranked UCLA Bruins. Former UA star Jenny Dalton, the 1996 Honda Award winner as national player of the year, will be on hand Friday for the retirement of her jersey.
Washington travels to Tempe to face Arizona State in games at the same times. The Pac-10 regular season closes next weekend, when Arizona travels to the Bay Area for three games.

One of the best parts of summer is that, because the produce is so good, simple is definitely the way to go! I love Thai basil, so this dressing sounds absolutely ideal for sprucing up some tomatoes!

Lollipop Chainsaw Review
publisher: Warner Bros. Entertainment
developer: Grasshopper Manufacture
genre: Action
|ESRB rating: M
release date: Jun 12, 12
|» All About Lollipop Chainsaw on ActionTrip
Uros "Vader" Pavlovic
This is not your usual action adventure game. It's fair to assume that most of you are fully aware of this, after seeing any gameplay footage (yeah, I'm pretty sure you have and for obvious reasons too). In this game, players are offered a chance to plunge into the world of multicolored insanity that involves non-stop zombie slicing. It's not ordinary zombie slicing either. It involves grotesque scenes of violence and, more importantly, a sexy female protagonist. She's also a cheerleader and, like most cheerleaders, she likes to go out with a guy and then chop his head off. Yep, that's classic cheerleader-like behavior. It also sets up the premise for Lollipop Chainsaw, the latest wacky title from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Grasshopper Manufacture.
Well, okay, I wouldn't want to give cheerleaders a bad name, so I shall explain a bit more about what's going on in the game. Juliet, the star of this delightful and gory tale, heads out to meet her boyfriend, Nick, who was just about to be introduced to her family. To our convenience, a nasty zombie outbreak puts a stop to this lovely plan. From that moment on, Juliet starts kicking zombie ass, as any self-respecting cheerleader would and rushes to meet her boyfriend. To make matters more interesting, Nick gets bitten by a zombie and Juliet decides to do the only thing anyone would do in such a situation - she approaches Nick, lops his head off and then attaches it to her waste. Piece of cake.
Slick move.
She has that look again.
Now that we've established what Lollipop Chainsaw offers in the story department (not much to be honest), we can move on to what really matters - the gameplay. The third-person action is not original or innovative, although it manages to deliver the kind of entertainment you'd hope to find in a zombie themed title. You get a chainsaw to deal with the undead hordes, in addition to a variety of moves and combos. The combat is rather basic and easy-to-learn, which means there's no annoyingly long learning curve to get in the way of the fun. So, yeah, essentially, this game is about having fun and mowing down as many undead enemies as you possibly can. It's a shame that things like awkward camera angles get in the way of this fun, especially when you're indoors.
One of the things we can definitely appreciate about Lollipop Chainsaw is the developer's effort to minimize gameplay monotony by adding several cool additions. They incorporated sporadic mini-games are really quick time events, allowing you to do all sorts of weird things to enemies. These mini-games vary often enough, so you'll get to do anything from running over zombies with a combine to graceful pole dancing while decapitating countless zombies in the process. Interesting quick-time events may not be enough to lure hardcore gamers, but we have to say they successfully pull you away from the standard third-person hack-and-slash combat mechanics. The boss fights represent another satisfying element. It would've been nice if they were a bit more challenging. As it stands, we did enjoy the diversity of bosses and how they fight. For example, one of them spits out nasty language and words at you (literarily). Hilarious and, well, we've never seen it before.
The chainsaw and Juliet's combat skills can be upgraded over time to make for a wider selection of moves and attacks. When you take out foes, you'll receive gold and platinum medals and both of these can be utilized to purchase upgrades vie the in-game Chop2Shop.zom. Upgrades denote new attacks and platinum medals give you a chance to acquire new costumes, music etc.
Come and get it, zombie scum!
Pink cheerleaders spell zombie doom.
The graphics are colorful to say the least. In fact, they are insanely colorful. Then again, this goes only too well with the game's overall wackiness.
There's really not a lot I can add. Lollipop Chainsaw isn't one of those leisure summer games that just relaxes you on a dry and hot summer day. It's hot all on its own. You have to have the stomach for this game. Mostly for its silliness, intensity, senseless violence and freaky humor. The jokes and gags aren't too bad, albeit it takes a while for them to get to a point where's they're actually amusing. The narrative cannot be described as an incentive to keep playing. Truth be told, you don't need a particularly complex story for a weird game such as this. Yes, it's weird. It also may seem like a ridiculous waste time, but given the chance, it can also be ridiculously fun.
7.3 Good
An interesting twist on the standard zombie-killing formula, cool boss fights, a game in which quick-time events are actually fun;
Takes a bit to get into it, may not be as amusing to some as the developers clearly intended, occasional camera issues.

Situations of armed conflict consistently and systematically attack the integrity and lives of women and girls around the world who experience violence first hand. Their vulnerability increases with situations of poverty, neglect, and lack of opportunities. The escalating trends of sex trafficking in the context of armed conflict are a persistent symptom of war, where the practice of forced prostitution is widespread and nourished by the different repercussions of war on women.
In many cases young children, mostly girls, are tricked or recruited into prostitution in the hopes of receiving monetary compensation. However, many are sold or kidnapped into this form of slavery in which women and girls are targeted for sexual exploitation. Many stood in disbelief at the conference held by the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women at CSW when Yanar Mohammed, MADRE's partner and the director of the Organization for Women's Freedom in Iraq (OWFI) told the story of girls as young as 11 who had been forced into prostitution. Nevertheless the fact remains that children, girls and boys as young or younger than 11, are being sexually exploited.
It is necessary to establish support systems and partnerships with the different organizations and women who are stepping up for their communities in a search not only to end violence against women but to empower survivors. Supporting such organizations on an international level will not only facilitate their work but also back up the work of the leaders who in many cases put their lives at risk to take on this task.

Comments about Killing Kennedy DVD:
This is the best depiction of the assassination I have ever seen. Rob Lowe nailed Kennedy, right down to his walk. Uncanny! I liked the fact that they also showed his flaws. He was not a perfect person. But no one deserves to die that way. This country lost a great one and all of us died a little in November 1963 . Great job NGC. Everyone since then has been all consumed with who shot him and why. They seem to have forgotten his two fatherless children and widow. I highly reccomend this to anyone who wants to see an accurate account of how it all happened. You won't be disappointed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Windows XP Service Pack 2 Installation Checklist [ Back to department ]
This checklist is designed for Cascade County Windows XP users to perform before applying the SP2 (Service Pack 2) update. This checklist contains basic routine maintenance that should be performed on a regular basis.
This is the preferred way to get Windows XP Service Pack 2: Receive SP2 through Automatic Updates (AU). Microsoft is releasing SP2 gradually through AU. Make sure your computer is set for Automatic Updates:
To Set for AU:
Right click My Computer, click Properties
Click Automatic Update Tab
Check 'Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them.'
Click OK.
- BACKUP important data.
- You should have at least 2 Gb free space (less than half that is needed for Windows XP SP2, but if you are that close, you need to start looking for ways to free space or add another hard drive.)
- Perform Disk Cleanup (all boxes checked except Compress old files) Disk Cleanup is located in Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Cleanup
- Perform Disk Defragmentation. Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Defragmenter
- Perform a updated Virus Scan.
- Run Ad-Aware and/or SpyBot S&D. I recommend running both these programs to be sure all spyware is removed from your computer. Both these (free versions) are available by clicking on the links. Make sure you UPDATE these programs before running them.
- Reboot your computer. Create a 'System Restore Point' Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore
- Make sure you have no Applications running and disable all Applications running in the taskbar (next to the clock, usually you can right click the Icon and close the programs). Disable your Screen Saver. Verify your computer has the correct Date, Time and Time Zone.
- Instruct computer to Install SP2. Do NOT touch any keys during the process unless necessary (you may be instructed to answer some prompts). 10. Your done! Reboot your computer. Perform another Disk Defragmentation, turn screen saver back on, and verify all your programs are still working.
- Allow at least 2 Hours to perform the above procedures.
- You need to be 'Administrator' of your PC in order to do the above installations.
- After SP2 is installed it prefers AU to be set to 'Automatic' I recommend setting AU to: 'Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them' option.
- After SP2, the Windows Firewall is enabled. Leave firewall ON(you should not have to mess with it)
- After SP2, the new Windows Security will tell you that "Your computer may be at risk" This is will be fixed after Symantec anti-virus releases its update. You might want to verify that your Anti-virus is up-to-date. You can also set "Windows Security" to NOT alert you about this anti-virus issue, if it bothers you.

Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic
Hi guys.
I'm new here, and I'm hoping to get some help conserning choosing the right LP...
I've read about the 1960 Classic... it has green inlays on the frettboard... and I think it says 1960 on the pickguard...
To me, it's one of the most beautifull guitars I've ever seen... and it is said it plays beautifully and sounds great... I do like the ide of having the 500t+496r pu's since I'm a fan of cheramic pu's.
Allso, I would prefere the slimmer -60 neck before the thicker -50 neck...
The thing is it's hard to find info on the 1960 Classic... Since I don't know much about all the LP models, for ex, what does Classic Plus stand for?
Can any of you guys tell the story on the Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic?
Light, heavy or in the between ( chambererd or weight reduction drilled )?
Short or long tenor ( not sure about the word, but I hope you know what I mean )
How is it comparered to a Standard LP for ex?
Thanx in advance
Regards Ralle

Re: Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic
I have a couple and love em, although I ended changing the pickups. Some people here know better than me but they started making them in the early 90's. "Plus" refers to the maple top having some flame to it, "Premium Plus" being the most flame. Both of mine are plain top; honey burst and light burst. They are weight relieved (swiss cheese holes) but do have some weight to them and feel/sound very solid.
The new ones are not the same as the old ones, so watch out there. They have the maple fingerboard, although they look like great guitars and I may end up buying one.
The neck on the classic seems thinner than the 60's profile I have on a couple of my standards.
Good luck on finding our beast!

Re: Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic
Skinnier 60s neck
Slimmer 60s style headstock
Greenish inlays on the later 90s-2000s
Weight-relief drilled pre-2007
Chambered 2007 onwards (some mid 2006 might be chambered too).
Uncovered super hot ceramic pickups
1960 on the pickguard
Classic on the truss rod
Some say les paul model and some say les paul classic on the headstock
Some of the early 90s were made in the custom shop
Ones with flame tops are known as classic plus or premium plus depending on flame
Generally plain tops.
Serial number is in a weird more vintage inspired format so don't try and read the manufacture year in the same way.
Don't confuse it with the classic-antique which came out in 2007 and is chambered, has uncovered 57 classic/57classic+ (lower output) pickups, white inlays, flame tops, bound headstock with a leaf inlay and classic on the truss rod.
They've also recently reissued the classic which comes with a baked maple board instead of rosewood, white inlays and you can get it with a flame top.
Think that's everything. Hope it helps

Re: Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic
I have one made in 2000 and it has become my main Les Paul out of the four I own, including a very sweet R8. I bought this as a backup Lester and never used it. The action was crap and I hated the pickups. I loaned it out to a friend who thought he wanted to learn to play. Needing money I offered to sell it to him for the $1500 I paid for it on eBay. He couldn't swing it, so I gave him a cheapie Tele in it's place and tried to sell it. No one wanted it although they loved the top. I decided to try to turn it into a player. Raised the action, no more buzzing...Changed those hated pickups to Seymore Duncan Pearly Gates....Plugged into my Vintage Modern 100watt head and the sound....Nirvana!!!!!! It has a great neck, and I happen to love the ugly green fret markers. Recently looking through the "Beauty of the Burst" book, and quite a lot of them have "greened" markers. The guitar is a beautiful Honeyburst with a Premium Plus top, flame,grain,flecking,an island.....just amazing figuring on it. Originally it came with pickups that were covered, the SD' are now open double whites. The headstock says classic as well as the truss rod cover. It plays and sounds as good as my R8. Get one, they're way underrated.....

Re: Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic
To me the green inlays makes the impression of the guitar much stronger... I allways liked the looks of a Custom, but now I'm tatally sold on the Classic with the green inlays... it needs to be with the pickguard though... don't like the ones without it...
So far there's three major things that, for me, speaks out for the classic;
1. The neck; I want the -60 slim neck ( based on playabillaty... eaven if a -50 neck may sound better )
2. The body; assuming it's a 9 hole weightreduction drill, and NOT chambererd... I soly base that on what I've read and heard other people say, so... I guess that would be a pre 2006, right?
3. The pu's; I know I'm going to get bugged about this one, but anyway...
I'm a huge fan of cheramic pups... I have a Dimarzio Super Dist-78 in my Strat ( perhaps I should mention that I'm growing very tirerd of the strat... I've been wanting a LP for a very long time now ) and it's one of the best pups I've ever played... so the 500t and 496r feels very attractive to me right now...
There's one more thing I need to learn more about; The long vs short tenon ( right word? ) for the Classic...
Where can I find info on that? Differences and impact sound wise, if any?
A friend of mine just happend to mention that reacently...

Re: Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic
That's ...
When I've started with MIJ LesPauls that spec seemed to be one of the most important distinctive features compared to Gibsons ... in the meantime I think:
It's nice to have ... but not essential ... just my 2 cents ...
... stay tuned ...

Re: Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic
My Classic is by far the best guitar I've ever came across short of a vintage '59 I had the pleasure to play once. It's a 2000 and is not chambered but has the infamous "snot green" inlays. I don't mind it much. It does have aftermarket pickups in it (Duncan '59 set at the moment although it changes all the time) but everything else is stock parts. I really love it. I call it my "Poor Man's 'Burst". I've done the covered neck/uncovered bridge ala Jimmy Page as well which I also like tonally as I am an uncovered humbucker kind of guy.
I highly recommend an older Classic as a Les Paul to get. Mine will go to the grave with me and it will always be my #1. Her name is "Ruby".

Re: Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic
Would a 1960 Classic, made pre 2006, have either long or trans. tenon?
I read the Norlin thread, and it says something about changing from long to trans. tenon in -68 -69... and from trans. to short tenon after -75...
This info regarded Custom LP's, but it looked like it was an overall issue about most, if not all LP's...
Does this inclued the reissues ( in fact, does a 1960 Classic, made in 2005, count as a reissue? )

Re: Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic
The 2000 Classic I have is my favorite of the three humbucking guitars that I own. It has the greenish inlays which to me, are at time attractive when the light hits them just right. After three years I took out the hot ceramic pickups and put in Duncan '59s and later on some Orange Drop caps, two more accurate tone controls and that's it! It is the guitar you see in my avatar. It is Honeyburst with a variegated top which really changes its' color in direct sunlight......really striking in appearance.
Classics get lots of good comments on this forum; so read up on them.

It truly was an honor and a privilege to spend a little time with J-Rocc of the World Famous Beat Junkies this past Friday at KPFK. Though he has been as prominently focused on outside of turntablist and Hip-Hop culture, almost anyone who knows anything about DJ culture from the last 20 years would place J-Rocc as one of the top DJs around. He was a co-founder of the Beat Junkies back in 1992, a crew that includes other living legends in Babu, Rhettmatic, Melo D and Shortkut, he was essentially the third member of JayLib along with Madlib and J Dilla (kinda like Billy Preston was essentially the fifth Beatle in 1969 though he never formally joined the group) collaborating heavily with both men. He's now released his first proper album of original compositions, Some Cold Rock Stuf, on Stones Throw. He talked to us about the new record, the recording process, his thoughts the digital revolution in music, on Serato and its effect on DJ-ing and a few other things. I'm really hoping at some point in the future he'll be able to come in to spin more, maybe one day we can convince him to do a show at KPFK…Enjoy the set and the interview!

Trade targets
Just posted an overview of the Marlins' machinations with Thursday's 4 p.m. non-waiver trade deadline. Here's the link: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/baseball/marlins/sfl-marlinstrade0729,0,415456.story.
Nothing is particularly close, but I found it interesting that the four big names on their list of possible catching additions are Bengie Molina (Giants), Ramon Hernandez (Orioles), Gerald Laird (Rangers) and Ryan Doumit (Pirates).
Sorry, Yorvit Torrealba fans, the Rockies look like they're back in the NL West race.
Who's the one gettable piece you most want the Marlins to pursue? And how would you rank the above list of four catchers, money aside, which of course it never is?

This is the last thing you will ever know. This harlot has found a resting place for every wasted moment. Nobody will know that you existed. Death will do you no favors. This is my absolution. This is my liberation. No more desperation. Dead...I've thrown away everything that you are. I belong to a future of my choosing. Every move you've made has been well documented. Your shackles of idiocy won't restrain me. So fear me, fear this. Fear everything you couldn't hold on to. Fear me, fear this. I want the world to see me bury you. So fear me, fear this plague.

I recently read the first book in the "Assured Destruction" series by Michael F. Stewart and I enjoyed the novel. While it was not what I was expecting when I started the book, I still found it to be a fast and entertaining read. I was hoping for more of the same when I started "Assured Destruction: Script Kiddie" which continued the adventures of Janus Rose.
Janus Rose had gotten in trouble with the law but was given a second chance by only being required to serve 2000 hours of community service. This might sound like a strong sentence but Detective Williams of the Ottawa Police Department volunteered to be her sponsor and allow Janus to use her computer skills to help out the department's High Tech Crime Unit. Jan was surprised when she got her first call almost immediately and found herself working on a case involving the theft of credit card numbers.
With all of the pressure that is surrounding her with trying to keep up with school and save the family business, Jan quickly makes mistakes that draw the ire of police captain. She is then given a laptop and told to profile the person, she is told a murderer, who had owned it only to later find that it is the captain's old computer. She is thrown off the force and assigned to complete her community service at a soup kitchen. This does not stop Jan from working on the case while trying to find a way to save the family business her home, and her budding romance with her new boyfriend. A friend's request for help with a cyber-stalker complicates her life even more and Jan feels like she is going to crack under all the pressure. Then her mother's mysterious boyfriend, Peter, steps in and introduces Jan to the hacker world through the secret network and Jan begins to see a light at the end of the tunnel even if she still does not understand exactly what Peter wants. Now she just needs to figure everything out before she is expelled from school, left homeless, or worse.
I was impressed by the first book in the series so I dove into the second book quickly and I was not disappointed. Stewart again shows a deft hand in handling characters and the fast pace of the novel so that the reader finishes it wanting more but not feeling as if anything was missed. That is not to say that this is a perfect book as some leaps of faith are needed for the action to really work and some aspects of the story are simplified or glossed over to keep the story flowing (and also party due to the fact that this is a young adult novel) but these are easily forgiven. After all, this is an adventure story and Stewart does keep the story entertaining throughout. The goal of the novel is to entertain and it succeeds in achieving that goal.
The only thing that keeps "Script Kiddie" from moving from a good to a very good novel is that there is almost too much going on in the book. There are so many different plot lines in the novel that there is little time to address them all and the further development of the characters takes a backseat to the furthering of the action. This is alright to an extent and it does keep the action flowing but I was disappointed that Janus was not really developed much further as a character (there is some limited character development through her interaction with the hackers) and many of the other characters are really little more than cardboard cutouts used to fill out the story. This is a little odd considering that this is the middle book of a trilogy, which are usually criticized for being too full of exposition, and I think that this is a small detriment to the series as a whole. I also was disappointed that Shadownet is almost nonexistent in this book and Jan's Twitter addiction became a little annoying rather than serving to give a different perspective to the story as it did in the first novel. Still, this is a young adult thriller and that means that the book is meant to be exciting and entertaining and it succeeds in both areas. This is a good book that can be enjoyed by both adults and younger readers.
I would like to thank Michael F. Stewart for this review copy. "Assured Destruction: Script Kiddie" is available now.

SEATTLE — Highline school-district administrators were determined to provide free, full-day kindergarten at all 18 of its elementaries when the school year starts Wednesday.
So over the last school year it converted six computer labs to classrooms.
It installed five portables.
And to find still more space, it shifted some students who thought they'd be attending one school to other campuses with a little more space for their grade level.
"We just made it happen," said Anne Arnold, the district's new director of preschool through third grade.
In June, state lawmakers increased funding for free, full-day kindergarten by nearly $50 million to more than double the number of such classes offered in the state. The money is distributed according to poverty rates, going first to schools with the highest rates of kids who qualify for free and reduced-price lunch.
In all, the state is spending $96.2 million to fund all-day kindergarten at about 44 percent of the state's elementary schools. A state Supreme Court decision has charged state lawmakers with making all Washington kindergartens full-day by 2017, part of a directive to meet its responsibility to fund basic education.
But because the new state money can't be used to fund capital projects for new classroom space, putting it to use has brought logistical and financial challenges in some cases.
Last year in the Highline district, the state funded all-day kindergarten at eight elementary schools; the new state money is making it possible at seven others.
To help find space for all the new classes, the district squeezed nearly $2 million from its own budget to buy the portables.
But at least one school district — Mukilteo — turned away its share of new state money. Its schools are already overcrowded and it doesn't have the money to add space for those students, let alone open the doors to additional kindergartners.
"That's one of the aspects that is often overlooked. It's great to provide money for all-day kindergarten," said Andy Muntz, spokesman for the Mukilteo district, which passed up $1.6 million in new state funding. "But you need classroom space for it, and that puts this issue back in the hands of local voters."
At Seattle Public Schools, the new state money has expanded full-day kindergarten from 19 of the district's 68 elementary schools to 27.
All 68 elementaries offer all-day kindergarten, but it's free only at the 27. At the other 41, parents whose children don't qualify for free or reduced-price lunch must pay about $3,000 a year if they want their child in full-day kindergarten, said Cashel Toner, the district's director of early learning.
Because the Seattle district already has the space in place for full-day kindergarten and has planned for future growth, Toner said it will be able to take full advantage of additional state funding when it does come though.
The Highline district didn't want to wait for still more state funding before offering full-day kindergarten districtwide, Arnold said. So along with shifting some students and adding the portables, the district invested an additional half-million dollars to fund all-day kindergarten teachers for three schools not funded by the state.
"It may not be ideal," Arnold said. "But we think it's going to make a huge impact."
Much has been said about the academic benefits of full-day kindergarten, but for many working families with small children, it means a financial break as well.
That's the case for the family of 5-year-old Francisco Quin, who met his new teacher last week at a meet-and-greet at Cedarhurst Elementary in the Highline district.
Francisco's mother, Herlinda Quin, works at a sushi restaurant in downtown Seattle to help her husband support their family of five children, including 13-year-old Cecilia Quin.
"She wouldn't be able to work as many shifts as she could if it wasn't all-day," Cecilia said on behalf of her mother, who does not speak English.
Arnold said one father who came to register his child in full-day kindergarten recently said that when he got to pick up the deposit he'd put down for day care for his child, he felt like he'd won the lottery.
But Arnold thinks the biggest impact will be that more children will be developmentally ready to take on the more rigorous academic challenges of first-grade.
With a half-day kindergarten, teachers say they can teach a little math and reading, but not much else — no science, no art and only 15 minutes of recess play to help the children build social skills.
"You just can't fit it all in," said Cedarhurst kindergarten teacher Mary Drew.
It's harder to inspire children to become independent learners with the rushed pace of half-day programs, says Jennifer Matthews, who teaches kindergarten at Southern Heights Elementary in Burien.
"It used to break my heart when these kids would only use a pair of scissors four times — four times in a whole year," said Matthews. "And a lot of these kids don't have any of these supplies at home."
At the Cedarhurst meet-and-greet, Washington Tauanuu, 6, talked about how excited he was about starting first grade after going to all-day kindergarten last year.
His expectations were high."I like learning about people, animals, skeletons, bears and fish," said Washington. "I want to see my new classroom!"
Scenes like that don't make it any easier for the Mukilteo School District.
"Did it hurt to turn all that money away? Oh yeah," said Muntz.
"We definitely fully understand why it's important that kids have full-day kindergarten. We just don't have the class space."
In 2008, the district tried to prepare for anticipated growth, but a bond measure to fund more school building failed. Muntz said enrollment has grown by 550 students since then — 150 more than predicted.
Now the school board is considering putting another bond measure on the February ballot.
"We've added 17 portables in last five years," Mumtz said. "It provides classrooms, but not more core facilities. We still have the same lunchroom, bathroom and library for all these kids. That's the dilemma."
As flexible as the Highline district has been in finding room for kindergarten classes this year, Superintendent Susan Enfield said space is just about maxed out, and that to accommodate growing enrollment, Highline, too, will soon have to consider a bond measure.
"We can buy more portables, but they aren't a long-term desirable solution," Enfield said. "We've repurposed computer labs to become classrooms, but we're probably getting to a point where we've done as much of that kind of thing as we can."

You are here: Home Surgical Options Laparoscopic BPD
Laparoscopic Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) with Duodenal Switch (DS) surgery is one of four surgical weight loss options we offer at AtlantiCare. The BPD with DS was first reported by Dr. Doug Hess in 1986 and is considered the most effective surgical weight loss approach available today. It is also the most effective treatment for metabolic diseases, such as Type 2 Diabetes and hyperlipidemia associated with morbid obesity. The procedure has both restrictive and malabsorptive components. Very few centers in the world offer this procedure, especially with a laparoscopic approach.
Patients who choose to have laparoscopic BPD with duodenal switch surgery will typically experience these benefits:
*Improvement or complete resolution of medical problems is not guaranteed and they may recur if weight is regained.
Long-term follow up and daily vitamin and protein supplements are crucial to the success of this operation. Life-long monitoring is necessary to prevent nutritional and mineral deficiencies – just as with the RYGBP.
The gallbladder, if still present, is removed as a part of the procedure.

Hello and welcome back to Second Chance to Live. I am happy to see that you decided to stop by to visit with me. Thank you. Have you ever asked yourself this question, "Where is my life heading?" I have my friend. Many times. In the below article, I share some of what I discovered along my journey and through my process. As you read the article, be encouraged my friend. More will be revealed to us.
The Measure of Destiny?
Posted by Second Chance to Live on February 15, 2009
Hello and welcome back to Second Chance to Live my friend. I am so happy to see that you decided to stop by to visit with me. Through my process I have grown in the awareness and acceptance to my reality. With my understanding, I have been able to embrace certain truths. My destiny becomes apparent through these truths.
"I am only one; but still I am one. I can not do everything, but still I can do something." Helen Keller
This truth reminds me that I do not have to be more than I am — today. I am enough. In actuality, I am more than enough. Consequently, I can learn use my gifts, talents and abilities in ways that work for me. In the process I fulfill the measure of my destiny.
"Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you." Mother Teresa
I do not have to be concerned with numbers, because I can be a blessing where I am — now! I do not have to concern myself with outcomes because I can trust the process. I can impact the person next to me in small but profound ways. In the process I measure my destiny.
"Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things." Frank A. Clark
Consequently, I do not have to wait to measure my destiny. I can measure my destiny by one-act of kindness, one breath of hope, and by one word of encouragement to the person nearest me. Consequently, I don't have to do everything, but I can do something. I can give out of that which I has been given to me. I can plant seeds. In that way I contribute to my destiny.
"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant." Robert Louis Stevenson
Today's Thought
Today you may be questioning the measure of your destiny and the value of your life. You may be discouraged because you have a disability, a traumatic brain injury or some other life challenging circumstance. My encouragement to you is to relax. You do not have to be more than who you are. You are enough.
Because you are enough, you do not have to prove anything to anyone, but you can freely give of who you are in ways that work for you.You do not have to do everything, but what you can give something magical. You don't have to reach the masses, but you can start with the person nearest you.
We don't have to do something big, but you and I can plant seeds of kindness, encouragement and hope. We don't have to have all the answers, but we can be part of the solution. We don't have to know the big picture, but we can contribute to our destinies — by using what works for us.
Here is my Contact page. Send comments and questions and I will respond to you.

Dreams can turn into the most powerful motivations that make us work hard for a better life and a brighter future. This is one of the lessons A.J. Fontaine's book will teach children through the exciting adventures of a little cat named Outside Kitty AKA O.K. O.K. is not a cat like all the others. He has a big dream, and he is determined to make it happen. He's not going to sit and wait for someone to adopt him, so he takes matters into his own paws and starts looking for a loving family. Yes, this is what O.K. has always dreamed of: a family that will take him in, love him, feed him delicious food, and play with him all day long.
'A Kitty and His Dream' is an adorable and heart-warming book for both children and parents. It is the perfect gift for any animal lover, and the kids will fall in love with the colorful illustrations and the funny faces O.K. makes all the time. If you buy this book for your children, don't be surprised if they'll ask you to get them a kitty that looks just like O.K. after they finish reading it.
O.K.'s journey is not an easy one. He goes from an outside cat to a shelter pet, and the time he spends in the shelter is not very enjoyable. After all, he knows that not all the pets that live in a shelter find a family. There are moments when he thinks he will never achieve his dream, but the most important thing is that he never gives up. Children will root for O.K. and hope he will eventually find what he is looking for. O.K.'s story will teach them that they have to fight for their dreams, because there is no other way to accomplish them.
Though it is quite short, 'A Kitty and His Dream' is a book that is full of challenging adventures, plot twists, and valuable lessons for the little ones. If you want to make your children a wonderful surprise, then get them a copy on January 29, 2014, when 'A Kitty and His Dream' is free on Amazon.

So beautiful! It reminds me of nature that I often see in my dreams, unreal animals and fantastic lanscapes with pink forests and green sky... Thank you for this artwork. I never thought I could see such a beautiful scenery outside my dreams.
Very sweet scene
looks great
Thank you so much Kevin. This means... just so much to me. Thank you for even reading the story lol. I plan on continuing it soon.
I'm glad you like it. If it can help restore even a part of the artist you described, it was very much worth it.
I hate to say she is gone, you know that story wasn't .. 100% Non-fiction. I was never thrown against a wall, but at times it felt like it. And those words said, were spoken in different ways never that direct. What my father did to me, ruined who I am, but I think that it just made me into a stronger person... However, This really did mean alot to me.
The image is very good. Where did you get the outfit from?
It's the Shadowdancer outfit from DAZ.
I like her attire and the detail of them

Wanted man surrenders himself to authorities
August 4, 2011
A security spokesman at the Ministry of Interior reported that Abdul-Salam Abdulaziz Rashid Al-Faraj, who appears on a list of 47 men wanted by security authorities issued on January 9, 2011, has contacted his relatives and expressed a desire to return home and surrender. The spokesman said that arrangements will be made to facilitate Al-Faraj's return to the Kingdom, where he will be treated in accordance with the applicable procedures. Noting that Faraj's voluntary surrender will be taken into account when considering his fate, the spokesman reiterated the Interior Ministry's call for all wanted suspects to do the sensible thing and turn themselves in.

It's being reported that Apple's larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6, nicknamed a "phablet," may not be introduced this fall as had been planned. It may only be the first half of summer, but the buzz over Apple's next great thing is already causing a stir. Apple's smaller screen 4.7-inch iPhone 6 is still expected to debut this fall however.
The production problems apparently center on the new technology for the two devices' in-cell touch panel, according to AppleInsider on July 13. While also a problem for the smaller iPhone, it's supposedly even worse for the larger-screened device.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a "respectable track record" in reporting on Apple's future product roll outs, issued a note with this latest news on Sunday. According to Kuo, Apple is not only facing production bottlenecks on the 4.7-inch model related to the new technology for the in-cell touch panel, but also color unevenness on the redesigned iPhone 6 metal casing.
Those problems are said to be even more exaggerated with the larger 5.5-inch model. Kuo noted that in particular, the new in-cell touch panels might cause issues related to touch sensitivity on the edges of the panel as displays grow larger in size. This may make the 5.5-inch model a much greater technical accomplishment for Apple to achieve.
Additionally, Kuo said he doesn't foresee that a new scratch-resistant 5.5-inch sapphire front panel will easily pass the drop test near term. That technical issue alone could also cause delays, he said.
But just last week, a video showed a 4.7-inch version of what was purported to be a sapphire screen from the next generation iPhone being stabbed, scratched and bent. Video producer Marques Brownlee found that in the end, the worst mark on the screen's surface was his fingerprints, according to CBS News.
Kuo said that even in the most conservative scenario, it's likely Apple will push off the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 model to 2015. That being the case, he expects the already larger 4.7-inch model, along with the more affordable iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c models, to bolster sales growth in the holiday quarter.
That being said, delaying the 5.5-inch phone-tablet hybrid model likely won't have much of a negative effect on Apple's bottom line this year. However, Kuo did say there's still a chance the larger iPhone 6 device could still launch in 2014.
But even if that happens, Kuo said it's likely to occur after mid-fourth-quarter, meaning after mid-November. This would still be a much later time frame than Apple has launched new iPhone models in past years.

Re: Feature Announcement: Adding <iframe seamless>
Adding ENABLE, skipping tests, and reverting any non-passing tests, proved complicated. So I've reverted my work on trunk: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/112820 and I'll be doing my <iframe seamless> work on GitHub. Interested parties can follow my fork/branch here: https://github.com/eseidel/webkit/compare/master...seamless Thank you all for your feedback. -eric On Fri, Mar 30, 2012 at 8:11 PM, Darin Fisher <darin <at> chromium.org> wrote: > [Oops, I meant to reply on list.] > > I think it is a risky practice for WebKit to have half-baked "webkit" > prefixed > features enabled by default on trunk.
