Maybe....Submitted by Joe Aiello on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 9:01am
These past few days I've been thinking. I've had the thought that maybe certain things are true and we need to accept them. For example:
These past few days I've been thinking. I've had the thought that maybe certain things are true and we need to accept them. For example:
Today is the day when contracts are tendered to players on MLB Reserve Lists who are unsigned for 2009.
You just can't put too much stock into any of the games the Cubs play this week, even if they're against potential playoff opponents playing for everything as the Cubs play for nothing. But if you consider them the practice tests before the Cubs have to take the ACT's next week, I think a few members of the Cubs need to do a cram session this weekend.
The five hits that did the most to enhance the Cubs' chance of winning during a week that began with a disappointing series against a team in the throes of a long losing streak, but ended with a sweep of the club with the best record in the National League, as measured by FanGraphs' Win Probability Added (WPA):
#5 Big Hit: Tuesday, v. the Reds, 4th inning — After Geovany Soto whiffs with men at second and third, Ronny Cedeño connects for a two-out, two-run single to extend the Cubs lead to 3-0, which turns out to be more than cushion enough for Carlos Zambrano. Cedeño's hit was far and away the Cubs' biggest one during the three games in Cincinnati. WPA .172
The five hits that did the most to enhance the Cubs' chance of winning during the past. not terribly successful week against the teams we'll have to beat if we want to take the division, as measured by FanGraphs' Win Probability Added (WPA):
#5 Big Hit: Tuesday, v. the Brewers, 7th inning — The opener of the Cubs' three-game series with the Brewers is getting out of hand when Mike Fontenot hits a two-out, bases-clearing double that brings the home team to within two runs at 9-7. WPA .133
Rotoworld had a blurb today that Kevin Frandsen is taking a break from playing shortsop. This is on the heels of Omar Vizquel being sidelined with a knee injury.
Earlier today, Rob alluded to this story in the Baltimore Sun, which says the O's will be sending a scout to Mesa next week "to get a closer look" at players the Cubs and Orioles have discussed as part of a potential Brian Roberts swap.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.

"Paper Money, Pony Express, Merit Promotion, More"
My husband & I listen over & over. Lots of wonderful information. We have recommended it to our adult children and others.
They ruled China for a period and even made an unsuccessful assault on Japan.
It is over 14 hours. One sitting is not an option for me. But I would take it anywhere - in the car or kitchen while I was doing something. Or I would just sit and listen. It was always interesting to hear. Gengis was quite a thinker.
History can be so interesting. Why don't we teach it to the kids this way?
Just an all around awesome person.
"Truly great."
I am not a history person and this books stands on a very short list of history books I have read. Genghis Khan was a bad a**. It moves a little quick after you get past his death, but I would highly recommend this to anyone.
"Excellent - Should be read widely"
This book illustrates the principle that not all received wisdom is correct, particularly when it comes to non-European history. Simply put, the Mongols were not the evil empire of their times (which lasts for several centuries.)
Read or listen, enjoy and learn. Worth a credit.
"Absolutely fasinating!"
Yes. Is a long book but very well read.
Genghis Khan
Easy to hear and understand their pronunciation.
Discussion of governing principles and incorporation of various aspects of each culture group they conquered.
"Busting the Myths Around the Much-maligned Genghis"
This book ranks in the top ten of audiobooks I've listened to so far.
The author kept is very praise-worthy research efforts in the background to the main messages of this enlightening biographical work, and never made himself the star of the investigation.
No, I like periodic "reading".
This is the warrior as he deserves to be understood in our modern times - a man who believed in a light footprint on the earth, the rule of law, religious tolerance, and many other notions we may mistakenly think found their roots elsewhere in history - specifically the West's history.
"Very eye-opening!!"
I had no idea the Mongul Empire was so vast and much more civilized than the histroy I had learned protrayed the Monguls.
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in a different perspective on Asian culture and history.
Library wall
"Fascinating little known history"
The notion of the Mongols as a dirty band of marauders; an unfortunately rapacious blip on the screen of history was dispelled completely. I want to be a Mongol!
Genghis for his clarity of thought and his expansive view of the world. His ecumenical understanding and desire for peace, intellectual development and family ties above all.
Clear strong delivery Excellent pacing
I would take it from the interview..".Imagine that an illiterate slave became the leader of the modern world"
I think this should be required reading in public schools. Inspiring, enlightening and fascinating
I live in Seattle. I write code. I listen when I'm out with the dog.
"Fascinating. Will change your view of history."
Genghis Khan was far more civilized than most Europeans of his age. He was just a much better military strategist.
Essential for a non-Eurocentric view of world history.
"A Revisionist History of the Mongols"
Jack Weatherford carefully researched Genghis Khan from the perspective of the Mongols. His revisionist history crediting Genghis for separation of Church and State, Diplomacy and the birth of the Renaissance seems to take the historical narritive too far. Having said that, the conventional depiction of the Mongol empire as a ravishing dark chaotic evil hoard needed poking. A very compelling narrative that reads like a novel. The truth is more compelling than fiction. Great read
An avid audio fan, I listen mainly whilst walking my dog. I enjoy many and varied subjects,history,travel,espionage,crime,anything good
"Mixed feelings"
I am not really sure how I feel about this book.I did enjoy listening,and the narration was good.But I don't know whether this was a scholarly work,or a popular one.
There are lots of dates,names of exotic people and places,but I still don't know enough about the Mongols.
I do not feel that the author really proved Genghiz Khans' having "made" the modern world.If we accept the authors interpretation,then he certainly was very enlightened,and revolutionary in his politics,law-making etc., but then again so were so many others on the stage of world history.
I did very much enjoy the epilogue and afterword,which were narrated,I think.by the author.
All in all,worth listening to,but I feel that something was missing in order to get me inspired by Genghiz Khan

A tax levied on passengers for passing through an airport. The tax is generally paid for use of the airport, and is one of a number of taxes that are typically included in the price of an airline ticket. Often, the bulk of the fee is called the landing fee, paid by the aircraft and transferred to the customer via the ticket price, to land at a specific airport. These fees will vary greatly depending on the popularity of the airport. Revenue from airport taxes fund is used for facility maintenance.
BREAKING DOWN 'Airport Tax'
The amount of airport tax levied on a passenger depends on a number of factors, most prominently whether the flight is a domestic or international one. International flights typically carry a higher airport tax. Also, fees can range depending on several other factors, such as the size of the plane and time of day.

Salt tolerance of the coastal salt marsh grass, Sporobolus virginicus (L.) kunth
Growth responses, leaf water and osmotic relations, and tissue ionic and organic solute contents of Sporobolus virginicus (L.) Kunth, grown under solution culture in salinities of up to 450 mM NaCl, were studied. Shoot growth was stimulated by intermediate salt levels, concurrent with both an accumulation of Na+ and Cl− in shoots and a slight increase in shoot succulence. Root growth was stimulated at salinities of up to 450 mM NaCl, Osmotic adjustment of shoots was predominantly due to Na+, Cl−, and soluble carbohydrate accumulation, though a slight reduction in shoot succulence may have played a minor role at high salinity. Shoot Na+ and Cl− accumulation was tightly controlled, not exceeding levels required for osmotic adjustment, due in part to ion secretion by leaf salt glands. Shoots were selective for K+ over Na+, maintaining fairly constant K+ concentrations with increasing salinity, resulting in relatively high K+/Na+ ratios at high salinity. Increasing NaCl stimulated the accumulation of K+ in roots, which may have acted as a reservoir of K+ for shoots at high salinity. Glycinebetaine, and to a lesser extent proline and trigonelline, accumulated in shoot tissues with increasing salinity, though trigonelline concentrations were insufficient to be osmotically significant. Accumulation was closely associated with increases in shoot sap osmolality. It is proposed that glycinebetaine may act as a compatible solute in S. virginicus, as levels were sufficiently high to effect total osmotic adjustment of the cytoplasm at high salinity.

From the Back Cover
Paul Lockhart combines military and political history to offer a major reassessment of one of the most famous battles in American history.
One hot June afternoon in 1775, on the gentle slopes of a hill near Boston, Massachusetts, a small band of ordinary Americans—frightened but fiercely determined—dared to stand up to a superior British force. The clash would be immortalized as the Battle of Bunker Hill: the first real engagement of the American Revolution and one of the most famous battles in our history.But Bunker Hill was not the battle that we have been taught to believe it was.
Revisiting old evidence and drawing on new research, historian Paul Lockhart, author of The Drillmaster of Valley Forge, shows that Bunker Hill was a clumsy engagement pitting one inexperienced army against another. Lockhart tells the rest of the story, too: how a mob of armed civilians became America's first army; how George Washington set aside his comfortable patrician life to take command of the veterans of Bunker Hill; and how the forgotten heroes of 1775—though overshadowed by themore famous Founding Fathers—kept the notion of American liberty alive, and thus made independence possible.

Mr. Lockhart does a fine job of analyzing the strategy of Artemis Ward, the rebel army's first commander-in-chief and General Gage of the British. He supports both of their cautious strategies leading up to the battle, outlining well both armies' weak points - which far outnumbered their strengths. He also accounts for the actions of the more belligerent underlings who forced the action in the battle.
The author also does a fine analysis of the "winners" and "losers" taking both short-term and long-term views on the issue. The Americans caused more casualties, the Brits took the hill, in the short-term. But Lockhart added deeper more insightful analyses of the long-term effects of the battle on the psyches of the soldiers and leaders on both sides.
Lastly, Mr. Lockhart also paints fine portraits of the participants by name, both the well-known and the little known, as well as the faceless soldiers on both sides.
This is an extremely well-researched and detailed history of a short period in our history. It is not a casual look, but one that is detailed in facts and well-honed in theory. A very complete history on the subject, perhaps not for the casual reader of history.
Far too many of these books focus on one side or the other but Lockhart is able to alternate between sides and while Gage and his British soldiers stew in Boston with all their problems of being besieged, we are treated to an almost laughable vision of the colonial army with way too many leaders and followers who frequently didn't, a supply system that was far from perfect and leaders who frequently led off their men on marches without telling their superiors, just because they wanted action.
Indeed Lockhart paints a picture of the siege of Boston in those early months where the generals of two completely unprepared armies lived in fear that the other side would attack them while their men chaffed at a chance for action against those people and to get out of their stinking camps. As the battle nears the humor elements quietly slip from the pages and a sense of inevitable settles in as two armies blunder into a battle neither general wanted.
There are a few problems with the book. Lockhart indulges in a little idol worship but like his research it falls on both sides and is even handed.Read more ›
The narrative is spellbinding in places, a bit confusing/wordy in others. However, it captures the flavor, the action, the carnage of that era, of those battles, the great generals and commanders as well as the "sleepers" who rose to prominence and who implored, wheedled, or ordered their men into fighting form on that fateful day at Bunker Hill, Charlestown, Breeds Hill and Roxbury.
As with any war, on both sides, there is also a war of egos within the upper ranks, orders are ignored or modified without permission, men break ranks and run, tactics are mulled over or improvised, opportunities wasted and mistakes turn the tide of battle, sending many more to their deaths.
Ole Putnam and his dynamic presence was beautifully fleshed out, as was John Stark (and his ruthless but brilliant tactics) and ("the first to go and the least remembered") Artemas Ward's exceptional leadership and devotion to duty.Read more ›

Philam Foundation: Philam Paaralan
I love listening to stories of giving back and sharing the blessings. Today, a lot of companies adhere to a sense of corporate social responsibility through educational and social programs that benefit a marginalized sector of the population or the society at large. They find ways, small or big to reach out to the community, specially to those who are in need. One of these is the Philam Group of companies, which has been a staunch advocate of the importance of giving back to the community. This year, they pledged to do more by institutionalizing its annual donation to intensify its CSR efforts.

We are all aware of many health campaigns informing the importance of intake of at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables for better health. According to a 13-year study by University College London, a daily average of more than seven plates of fruits and vegetable drastically reduces the risk of all-cause mortality. Fruits and vegetables are not only abundant in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, but in phytochemicals and enzymes as well. These substances have powerful antioxidant effects such as anti-aging, skin care, promoting immunity, among many others.

Taking the Smart Road Towards Your Future
Making choices is not easy. The process of making a decision may take hours or even days due to the numerous factors that have to be considered. Much like in purchasing a car. You have to make sure that the car suits your needs. This decision comes with a lot of accompanying questions such as: Do I need it for the city or for long drives? What is the vehicle's rating when it comes to safety? How long is the warranty?
A smart tip would be to research the car that you need beforehand. Consider your current style of living and how a new car investment will add value to your life like ease of going to work or luxury of having your own wheels to take your family for a road trip or an accessible automobile for when emergency strikes. Looking at specifications such as the car's gas consumption, carrying capacity, and the safety and insurance coverage of the car that you want to purchase. Your choice of car will definitely have a huge impact for your future. With this smart tip, you can enjoy a smarter road trip ahead!
Considerations about safety and security aren't just for purchasing a vehicle but it goes beyond major decisions in life. But, similar with the keen manner of choosing the car that suits you best, another smart choice is to have a smart plan that would protect your family in the future, because people need protection for unexpected events that may happen. By adopting the same process of decision making in car investment, determining how you can secure your life and your loved ones will be very easy especially now that Philam Life has a plan called Life Smart, which ensures not only your protection but your family's as well.
Life Smart provides guaranteed life insurance coverage with accident and terminal illness benefits. If you pass away within the next 20 years, your family gets a guaranteed cash benefit. If it is due to an accident, the guaranteed amount doubles. This feature will ensure that your family will be taken care of.
In the event that you get diagnosed with a terminal illness, your life insurance coverage will be given to you in advance.
Moreover, if you continue your plan for 20 years and your coverage ends, all of your payments will be returned to you. You can also receive a cash bonus through yearly dividends and a loyalty bonus.
Smart choices lead to smarter outcomes. Real life is full of choices. There's no guarantee you'll always make the right ones. But you can make the smart choice by protecting yourself no matter what. Get Life Smart.

Read in December, 2008
I think this book is awesome!! It does lack in discussing the hierarchal understanding of butch females and female to male transexuals and it doesn't really challenge what masculinity assumes in opposition to femininity. However, I didn't really know there was alot of tension between the butches and the tranny's in the first place so that's ok.

LONDON — Soulful songstress Adele and tousle-haired singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran lead the race for the U.K.'s Brit music awards ahead of Tuesday's ceremony in London.
Sheeran, 21, has four nominations including breakthrough act, best British album, best single for "The A Team" and best British male solo act.
He's up against James Blake, James Morrison, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Professor Green in that category.
Adele, who won six Grammys last week in Los Angeles for her sophomore album "21," is nominated for three Brits — British album, British single for "Someone Like You" and British female artist, an eclectic category that also includes Florence and the Machine, Jessie J, Laura Marling and Kate Bush, who won the same prize 25 years ago.
Adele, who gave a show-stopping performance of "Someone Like You" at last year's Brits, is also due to perform for the first time in Britain since undergoing vocal cord surgery to fix a potentially career-threatening throat condition.
It has been an amazing year for the singer from north London, who based her chart-topping songs of heartbreak on a rocky relationship. The "21" album has sold more than 6 million copies in the United States alone.
Sheeran said before the Brits ceremony that he expected Adele to clean up at the awards.
"She will definitely walk away with best album," he said. "It is Adele's year."
Coldplay could win their fourth best British group trophy if they beat Elbow, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys and Chase & Status.
Nominees for international female solo artist are Beyonce, Bjork, Feist, Lady Gaga and Rihanna, while the international male race pits Aloe Blacc against Bruno Mars, David Guetta, Ryan Adams and Bon Iver.
Britpop icons Blur are scheduled to receive a special prize for their contribution to music at the televised ceremony.
The four original members — Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree — are performing together for the first time since a series of concerts in 2009.
Gallagher — former guitarist of Blur's Britpop nemesis Oasis — is expected to perform alongside Coldplay's Chris Martin during the show, hosted by actor James Corden.
Most of the awards are chosen by more than 1,000 musicians, critics and record industry figures, with several decided by public vote.

Tonic Bar
Frog Face Fish closes it's doors to make way for the all new ultra-chic Tonic bar
Well, another one bites the dust in Hong Kong's nightlife scene possibly falling victim to the slowing down of the global economy. We at HongKongBarsClubs.com are trying hard to keep track of who's staying alive, who's joining the game and who's said their farewells, so if you find any new bars or clubs opening or closing, please ease our pain by letting us know here.
The new Tonic bar is good for drinks aswell as for snacky food with a list of sexy drinks including classic cocktails, quality champagnes and liquor. In the food department, Tonic serves up a good platter of potato skins, calamari and cheeses. Fries, nachos and all sorts of finger food can be ordered with dips.
Being a new bar on the scene, socialites of the city are quickly finding their way to the new Tonic bar and with the added bonus of being in the upclass area of Wyndham Street near Lan Kwai Fong, they're not short of smartly dressed business people come party goers passer-bys. In other words, they've found their regulars already and also packed during peak times of the week. Music is funky during these hours where DJ's are on their decks. Jazz and blues played during other times.

IHG Inks Deal for Third Hotel Indigo in Atlanta
Friday April 18th, 2014 - 10:41AM

ATLANTA—InterContinental Hotels Group has signed a deal to open the Hotel Indigo Downtown Atlanta here.
The hotel will be the brand's third property in the metro area and will occupy eight floors of a building first developed 50 years ago by John Portman, Jr. The hotel, which is owned by Portman 230, LLC, and will be franchised by an affiliate of IHG, is expected to open in the fall of 2015.
"Portman is delighted to partner with IHG in creating an exciting and distinct Hotel Indigo hotel in such a prime location," stated Portman Holdings CEO Ambrish Baisiwala. "We have a long history of developing unique hotels, and look forward to continuing this work in partnership with IHG."

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Chip's Barbecue, 9801 W. Markham Street, Little Rock, has closed, with a sign on the door stating, "Please Notice: Effective July 6, 2016, This location will be closed. Thank you." At last check the phone -- (501) 225-4346 -- had not yet been disconnected but nobody answered it. The website, chipsbarbeque.com, baldly proclaims only, "Our Markham Street located (sic) is now closed." (If there are any other locations for the venerable barbecue joint, which has been around since 1961, we're not aware of them.) Chris Harcrow, an old friend of the Chipman family, who founded the venerable establishment in 1961, took it over in August 2013 following the 2012 death of paterfamilias Thomas Chipman.

Chief Executive Alan Roberts told us sales had been declining, and "we did what we could to turn that restaurant around, but it wasn't enough." It's one of the minichain's oldest links -- almost 29 years in southwest Little Rock, 12 on Geyer Springs Road before it moved to I-30 and Baseline in 1999.

Your feedback is welcomed, my pre-trip jitters are not helping me think clearly.
Option 4 would be my choice. RX1R beats in my opinion the D800E + Sigma 35 combination in IQ but not in AF. Option 3 is pretty close.
Thank for the feedback. I know RX1(R) is pretty special but do you really think its 24MP Zeiss f2 can best Nikon's 36MP D800E+Sigma 35mm?
I don't mind the slower AF.
