Forgive me if this has already been covered somewhere...I have been working at this for hours.
I need my blog to look just like the rest of my website. In blogger.com, I was able to modify the template to insert my headers and footers.
With WordPress, I started w/ the default theme and have tried to swap out headers and footers. As you can imagine, that was a royal disaster.
Is there a "plain" theme available, maybe where the guts of the page are set up on a white background, and I can easily drop in my headers and footers to make it look like the rest of my site?
Sorry for not using tech language...I'm an accountant! Thanks for any help you can offer...
I'm hoping I'm not the only one with this problem.

Inspiration comes in many forms. A song, a rainbow, Anna Kournikova, circa 1999. But when inspiration proves to be elusive as an Anna Kournikova singles title, circa ... whenever, one must search it out at a bad Chinese buffet.
So with what felt like a pound-and-a-half of General Gao's Chicken doing military exercises in my stomach Sunday night, I opened up a crumbling, stale, mobius-strip of dough known as a fortune cookie, removed the piece of paper and read.
"Don't let the statistics do a number on you."
Suddenly, I had my "all-you-can-write" buffet. Spring stats. Of course! Just like Chinese food, one can fill up on them and be left wanting down the road.
So here's how you turn a "spring roll" by a mediocre player into a serving of "sweet and pungent production."
Casing the Joint
Anyone who says, "Spring training stats mean nothing!" is a liar.
If you're a Rule 5 outfielder who should've been in the big leagues years ago if it weren't for a series of Robert Downey Jr.-esque off-field issues, then your spring training stats matter.
And if you're a prospect who had your sophomore slump your rookie season and your manager already has said you'll either start in centerfield or return to Triple-A, you're not using spring to get ready for the season. You're using spring to have a season to get ready for.
In short, spring training stats matter a lot for Josh Hamilton and Brian Anderson. They just shouldn't matter much in terms of how you, a shrewd, cagy, ruggedly handsome fantasy owner, evaluate a player's ability to put up the same stats once the games count.
Sure, I'll look to see which established players are locked in already and spend an extra buck to acquire their hot start. Vernon Wells is showing that he isn't a "take-the-money-and-slump" guy with 4 homers already, and John Lackey is fueling the breakout season talk with 15 K's in 12 innings.
It's also fair to check out prospects who last until the end of spring training to see who played well enough to earn a call-up as soon as a big leaguer goes down with an injury. For example, I'll be waiting for Philly's Michael Bourn to retourn ... er ... return because he could easily steal 20 bags as a fourth outfielder.
But beyond that, I'm not correlating spring success and regular-season value. Instead, I look for players who so severely overachieve or underachieve, they present an opportunity to sell high or buy low before anyone has ever actually played a game.
As of Wednesday, Jeff Francoeur was batting .390 with 3 HR already this spring, and no doubt he has the power potential to be rostered in most formats. But we're talking about a guy who batted .260 last year and took only 23 walks all season. He doesn't have the eye to support a .290 average, let alone one 100 points higher, and last year, he didn't bat .300 in any month of the season. But you don't have to mention that when shopping him. Instead, talk about how he worked in the off-season on being getting better pitches to hit (every batter is looking for better pitches to hit, so it's not a lie) and pimp his Rod Carew impersonation as a new leaf he's turned over.
Meanwhile, San Diego's Mike Cameron is batting a piddling .182 with only one homer. He too, is a low-average outfielder with some pop, just like Francoeur, but the difference is Cameron has some real on-base skills, as evidence by a lifetime .342 OBP that's 90 points above his career BA. And oh yeah ... Cameron is fast. Real fast. He's only had one season with 375 or more AB's where he didn't steal 22 or more bases. So unlike Francoeur, he can help your team even when he isn't hitting homers.
Neither player's role is going to be affected by spring stats, but their perception might. Make the deal and get a four-category player for the price of a three-category player.
Kevin Millwood got off to a late start this spring, but he's looked good. Another good start and he might start climbing draft boards. But he's still a guy who has never struck out 160 batters in the AL, and he still plays his regular season games in the Best Little Scorehouse in Texas.
Meanwhile, Javier Vazquez, in his nine-year career, has given up only 13 more hits than innings pitched in total. So when I see a spring ERA over 11.00 and him giving up 20 hits in 11 innings, I smile a little bit inside. It's a "value" smile, because he's also struck out 10 and only given up one home run. His 2007 ERA isn't going to exceed the highest volume on Nigel Tufnel's amp and he's not going to give up two hits per inning. So if Vazquez's owner is worrying a little, make him worry a lot, and offer him Millwood, who hasn't been touched this spring.
A few other names you might want to toss out if you find a sucker ... er ... partner who puts too much stock in spring stats include Nick Markakis (a fine player but being valued as if he's Grady Sizemore thanks to a 900-plus spring OPS), Ryan Zimmerman (a parasol in a hailstorm offers more protection than that Nationals lineup), Geoff Jenkins (dominating this spring, but so is Kevin Mench) and Tom Glavine (that 1.29 ERA was recently spotted with Sasquatch, the Loch Ness Monster and Pamela Anderson's bust three other things that aren't real.)
You might get declined or ruffle a few feathers. But you also might get a stud who views spring training as something to do in between rounds of golf.
Pulling the Job
I made only one deal this past week, and it was in my "home" league, a 5x5 AL keeper league where keeper lists were due last Friday afternoon. With the deadline approaching and my team loaded with a bunch of guys at value, but not much top tier talent to retain, I projected each team's keepers and saw that we were looking at some serious inflation at our auction. With $350 to spend than talent in the pool, I could see a scenario where the top 20-30 guys in the draft could go for $8-to-10 above their production level.
So I made a move and approached an owner who seemed nervous about how much money he'd have at the draft, offering up Brian Anderson at $5 and Jeff Mathis, also at five, for Brian Roberts at $24.
I was able to talk up Anderson's spring stats (that's synergy, kids) and it became clear the other owner wasn't high on Roberts.
I am.
After returning from that nasty elbow injury late in 2005, Roberts was two different guys in 2006. He hit one homer in the first half and nine homers after the break, suggesting that he was returning to the form that made him an MVP candidate back in the first half of 2005. I'm projecting him to hit 16-20 homers and steal 30 bags. Considering the lack of depth at second, and the excess of cash in the league, I could've seen him going for $30 in our draft.
We agreed on the terms and the deal only got better for me hours later when my trading partner didn't keep Mathis. Then the next day, Ozzie Guillen started telling reporters that Darin Erstad was getting 500 AB's this season, meaning Anderson could be headed for the minors.
But was giving up a cheap, promising young player for an expensive, five-category infielder a Grand Theft Roto?
Usually, I'd ask my consigliere, Zach Messler, but he's laid up. I'm not saying a rival gang tried to take him out, but I will say he ended up in the hospital, swearing revenge and asking for narcotics.
So step up for the consigliere, and let me know, all you wiseguys and potential button-pushers, whether I did the family proud.
And remember, don't just win your league. Steal it.

text: World 11 March 2013 "We saved the banks but are running the risk of losing a generation" Senior European politician warns of the damage caused by unemployment. Print HTML Martin Schulz, president of the European Parliament, has warned that not enough has been done to tackle Europe's social crisis, in an interview with Reuters. According to Schulz, the huge rise in youth unemployment threatens the European political project itself: One of the biggest threats to the European Union is that people entirely lose their confidence in the capacity of the EU to solve their problems. And if the younger generation is losing trust, then in my eyes the European Union is in real danger. Schulz, a German socialist who has led the European parliament since last year, indicated that rescuing the banks had come at a cost, particularly to the economies of southern Europe: If we have 700 billion euros to stabilise the banking system, we must have at least as much money to stabilise the young generation in such countries. EU leaders have announced an initiative to tackle youth unemployment in the worst-hit regions - worth 6 billion euros. › 28 Dates Later by Willard Foxton: Part Five take two, Cupcakes with the Veteran Martin Schulz, at a press conference on 12 February.

NEW YORK (AP) - Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl will gladly focus on
basketball this week after getting hit with SEC sanctions for
violating NCAA rules and misleading investigators.
The No. 24 Volunteers play in the semifinals of the NIT Season
Tip-off against Virginia Commonwealth at Madison Square Garden on
Wednesday night.
The other semifinal features No. 7 Villanova against UCLA.
Pearl said Tuesday that he takes responsibility for the
violations, which included excessive phone calls to recruits and
inviting recruits and their families to his home for a team cookout
that he knew would be against NCAA rules.
The school already had imposed sanctions when SEC commissioner
Mike Slive suspended Pearl last Friday for the first eight
conference games. The NCAA could still impose additional penalties.

Let $S$ be the complement of the points $(0,0,\pm{1})$ in $S^2$, and let $C=\{(x,y,z) \mid x^2+y^2 = 1,\ |z|< 1 \}$, be a cylinder of radius $1$. If $\varphi : S\to C$ is the map given by radial projection from the $z$-axis, show that $\varphi$ is area-preserving.
By rotational symmetry, it is enough to show that the area of an annulus (points with latitude betwee $\alpha$ and $\beta$) is porportional to its height $\sin\beta-\sin\alpha$. If $\alpha\approx\beta$, this can be approximated by the lateral surface of a chopped off cone, which again is proportional to the circumference $\approx 2\pi \cos\alpha$ times the tilted height $\beta-\alpha$. Ultimately this boils down to the fact that the derivative of $\sin$ is $\cos$ (or the integral of $\cos$ is $\sin$, depending on perspective)

This neighborhood seems to be locked in a constant struggle between the church and the mob. The mob in the movie is represented by the aging mafia boss King Benny, while the church is represented by Father Bobby, who acts as a literal father figure to the four boys who are the main characters of the movie. Young people in Hell's Kitchen are taught from a young age to respect both the church and the mob. In a neighborhood where most of the residents were poor Irish and Italian children of immigrants, the Catholic Church played a large role in their lives. While it is not tolerated for anyone within the neighborhood to commit a crime against anyone else in the neighborhood, it is common practice to keep quiet about known mobsters and their activities which commonly take place within the neighborhood.

"Nantwich" Nantwich by grimbolero
Nantwich Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 4 photos
This town in the south of the county of Cheshire in North West England is an interesting refelection of two thousand years of small town industry. From Roman times (the first four centuries A.D.), the town was at the centre of salt mining. The name of the town means (approximately) "famous salt town".
Despite being burnt down by the Normans in the 11th century, in a great fire in the 16th century and during the civil war in the 17th century, Nantwich still has a fair collection of historic half-timbered buildings typical of mediaval and jacobean England.
The salt industry moved away in the 19th century, and Nantwich has survived as a market town and centre for the productive agriculture of the Cheshire plains.
Nantwich is an interesting place to visit. It is not such a tourist attraction as nearby Chester, and not nearly as big, but it has its own charm resulting from the mediaeval streets and half-timbered buildings. Many of the streets and the square are pedestrianised, and on sunny weekends the streets are lively with shoppers, visitors and musicians.
St Mary's Church is one of the finest mediaeval churches remaining in England, having survived the numerous fires. It sits at the focal point of the town.
At Easter each year the town hosts the Nantwich Jazz and Blues Festival, which attracts artists from around the world.
- Pros:Historic charm and small town architecture
- Cons:Some 11960's developments don't fit in.
- In a nutshell:Interesting historic old town with its own charm

James Irvin. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission announced today that James Irvin has tested positive for banned painkillers following his devastating knockout loss to reigning UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva at the UFC's recent July 19th event in Las Vegas.
Irvin reportedly had two different kind of drugs in his system - Oxymorphone, a powerful opiate which is primarily used to alleviate severe pain and Methadone, which is alternatively used to treat recovering drug addicts. Irvin has been temporarily suspended by the commission pending a disciplinary hearing in the coming weeks. An official length of the suspension and fine is expected to be handed out following the meeting.
The loss to Silva snapped a two-fight winning streak for Irvin, who had quickly shot up the ranks of the UFC's light heavyweight division following a quick stoppage of upstart Houston Alexander at UFC Fight Night 13 in April. Irvin took the bout against Silva on short notice despite recovering from a broken foot that forced him to withdraw from a scheduled bout against Rashad Evans in May. The injury could possibly answer the question as to why the drugs were in his system.
Meanwhile, the California State Athletic Commission also announced today that Justin Levens has tested positive for Oxymorphone as well following his planned participation at Affliction Entertainment's "Banned event" on July 19th in Anaheim. He has been suspended for six months and fined $1,000.
Levens was slated to take on Ray Lazama at the popular clothing company's debut show two weeks ago but the bout was scrapped at the last-minute due to time constraints. However both fighters were reportedly paid their full purses including half of the bonuses they would have been paid for winning.

A Bazooka Made Out Of Bacon!
The BA-Zooka is a 3 foot long battery-powered rocket launcher that shoots model rockets and summer sausages. It's made out of over 15lbs of bacon, and makes me question what exactly we as a society are doing with ourselves.

I have two convex polygons in 3D. They are both flat on different planes, so they're a pair of faces.
What's the simplest way to calculate the closest distance between these two polygons?
Edit: The length of the shortest possible line that has an endpoint in the first polygon and another other endpoint in the second polygon. The distance that I'm looking for is the length of this shortest possible line.

Headnoise is one of the main pioneers of "old-school" Christian punk rock, founded in 1994. They are prominent for being on the forefront of the Southern California-based "JCHC" underground movement, along with Officer Negative. This was the second wave of the "Old-School Christian Punk" movement, following in the footsteps of bands like The Crucified, Nobody Special, and Scaterd Few.
Headnoise has had several lineup changes over their long career, but the core of the band are husband and wife team Robert & Edie Goodwin (on Bass and Vocals, respectively), and Sid Duffour (on Guitar). They are characterized as being extremely bold and uncompromising about their faith [1], with guitar-driven, powerfully fast, yet sophisticated hardcore punk music and provocative Christian lyrics. Their songs deal with a range of themes including modern pragmaticism, social injustice, personal struggles, and practical spiritual insights.
Originally based in Orange County, California, they eventually moved to Illinois in the year 2000 to join Jesus People USA (aka "JPUSA"), an intentional Christian community and urban ministry serving inner-city Chicago with national and international branches of ministry. There, they became one of the top bands on the JPUSA-run record label, Grrr Records. They band also became a mainstay at the Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell (see www.cornerstonefestival.com) where they became the only band to play every single year since their first time playing.
After a decade of touring and releasing 5 albums, they announced their retirement in the winter of 2005 in order to focus on their families and other ministry callings. However, the band did re-form shortly thereafter with only the Goodwins as original members with other respected stand-in musicians. This incarnation lasted a couple years playing sparse shows and even one short tour, but did not produce the previous excitement and enthusiasm with their dedicated fan base, nor did they write and record the long awaited follow-up release to their last record, "For Now We Know In Part:1".
The band members have gone their separate ways, but are remembered by the legacy of changing the Christian punk scene and bringing a legitimacy and higher level of talent and integrity to that genre, recognized by both Christian and secular fans.

Kids Learn To Cook At Culinary Camp
Local Chef Shares The Basics
Some kids will not eat carrots and cucumbers, but Chef Marina Salek is trying to change that.
"It's really important that kids know about nutrition, about not adding extra salt and fat to your foods. Child obesity is a huge problem in this country," said Chef Salek.
The kids add corn and oranges to their salad. Justin Carter makes his own ranch dressing.
"To it almost tasted better because I made it. I knew what was in it," said Carter.
On the first day of camp, the kids learn kitchen safety and how to make their own salads and dressing. For the rest of the camp, they learn how to make soup, homemade pasta, ice cream and quesadillas.
"If we can get our teens and our young adults in the right direction, they can have really happy and successful lives," said Chef Salek.
For Carter, he really is what he eats.
"It just gives you a chance to make food and express yourself in your food," said Carter.
For four days, the kids learn how to become a top chef.
If you would like to sign up, you may contact Chef Marina Salek at 910.399.5787.

…or, Managing and Mitigating the 2014 CNH FX TARF blowup
(Author's note: I wrote this a year or so back for a few friends on Finance Twitter who wanted to know what FX TARFs were and what effect the huge vol overhang from USDCNH TARFs would have on the spot market. I figured that the shenanigans in USDCNY yesterday made it an appropriate time to dig this up and republish it for a wider audience. Onward…)
In 1985, it was CHF-denominated loans to Aussie farmers. In 1998, it was USDIDR cross-currency swaps with Indonesian noodle makers. In 2008, it was USDKRW KIKO options to Korean corporates and PRDCs to Japanese investors. In 2014, the FX blowup du jour is USDCNH European-knock-in target redemption forwards (EKI TARFs): SME and wealth management clients across Asia made gargantuan, leveraged, unfunded bets that the PBOC would continue to manage the CNY for a slow appreciation, and were caught long-and-wrong when the trend turned in February of this year.
Your instinctive reaction might be "if the customers are losing, the exotics books on the other side must be having a good time" – but you'd be mostly wrong. When TARFs go wrong, they can go wrong in all sorts of unexpected ways: imperfect hedging; counterparty risk; and collateral risk among them 1; and most of those are bad news for both the bank's exotics book and any smaller banks that might have back-to-backed the trade along the way.
The trades in question are strips of leveraged knock-in forwards with an autocall feature 2. The typical pitch runs something like this: Continue reading
- Also there's the risk that the regulators will storm in and fine you and shut your lucrative TARF business down, which has happened to four banks in Taiwan as I write this. ↩
- They're also not a million miles from the "5/30 swap" 17×-leveraged-shortdate-low-delta-spread-option trades that blew up P&G back in 1995. If everything else from the 90s is coming back, I'm thinking it's time for some opportunistic distressed-asset trades in flannel shirts and X-Files VHS tapes. ↩

Two Justice Department officials described the new policy to The Associated Press, saying prosecutors will be told it is not a good use of their time to arrest people who use or provide medical marijuana in strict compliance with state laws.
The new policy is a significant departure from the Bush administration, which insisted it would continue to enforce federal anti-pot laws regardless of state codes.
"We'll see less prosecutions now even though these guidelines are not mandatory," says CBS News legal analyst Andrew Cohen.
Fourteen states allow some use of marijuana for medical purposes: Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
CBSNews.com Special Report: Marijuana Nation
California is unique among those for the widespread presence of dispensaries - businesses that sell marijuana and even advertise their services.
Cohen says the new guidlines will likey have the most impact in California, which is the largest state by far to allow some marijuana use - and the state where public sentiment against federal intervention in possession and distribution cases was best organized and most vocal.
Colorado also has several dispensaries, and Rhode Island and New Mexico are in the process of licensing providers, according to the Marijuana Policy Project, a group that promotes the decriminalization of marijuana use.
Attorney General Eric Holder said in March that he wanted federal law enforcement officials to pursue those who violate both federal and state law, but it has not been clear how that goal would be put into practice.
A three-page memo spelling out the policy is expected to be sent Monday to federal prosecutors in the 14 states, and also to top officials at the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The memo, the officials said, emphasizes that prosecutors have wide discretion in choosing which cases to pursue, and says it is not a good use of federal manpower to prosecute those who are without a doubt in compliance with state law.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the legal guidance before it is issued.
"This is just a public announcement by the Justice Department that U.S. Attorneys around the nation aren't going to get in trouble or otherwise harm their careers if and when they don't aggressively go after marijuana users or growers who are complying with state law," explains Cohen.
"It took a while, but in the end the Obama administration is signaling a shift in policy. Part of the reason is that the feds feel they have more important cases to pursue and fewer beds available in prison," Cohen adds.
"This is a major step forward," said Bruce Mirken, communications director for the Marijuana Policy Project. "This change in policy moves the federal government dramatically toward respecting scientific and practical reality."

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Associated Press photographer Emilio Morenatti, who was wounded while on assignment in Afghanistan, has
won the top award for the National Press Photographers Association.
The group on Thursday named Morenatti its 2010 Photojournalist of the Year for large markets.
Morenatti lost his left foot after being wounded in August while with the U.S. military in southern Afghanistan.
Two U.S. soldiers and an AP Television News videographer, AndiJatmiko, were also injured when their vehicle ran over a bomb planted in the desert.
Morenatti was first taken to a hospital in Kandahar, Afghanistan, then later transferred to Baltimore, where he was fitted with a prosthesis and underwent rehabilitation.
Morenatti, a Spaniard, is returning to work for the AP next month. He will be based in Barcelona.

FWIW, I think so. I've had some thoughts on the matter from my application's use of fds, and I'd like to propose an extension to this: Yes, the stream holds the socket. Furthermore, SOCKETs get a new superclass; call it FD-CELL, or perhaps FILE (as in 'file descriptor' but not any more a descriptor). An object of this class holds a FD and closes it when garbage collected, or when explicitly told to close it. (stdin/stdout/stderr, due to their special positions, might have special FILEs without finalizers.) If one retains and passes the FILE instead of the FD, it is then impossible to accidentally use a FD that has been closed (and possibly reassigned). This could be supported by having operations which currently take a FD take a FILE instead; SB-SYS:ADD-FD-HANDLER would especially benefit, reducing the opportunities for invalid handlers. Also, NON-BLOCKING-MODE should be made an operation on FILEs instead of sockets; it's useful for any fd, and I'd be able to remove some copy-and-paste from sb-bsd-sockets from my application. If this seems reasonable, I would be interested in attempting to implement it. -- Kevin Reid <http://homepage.mac.com/kpreid/>

FDA approved Ironwood Pharmaceuticals' capsule drug Linzess (linaclotide) to treat chronic idiopathic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) in adults.
Linzess is taken once daily on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before the first meal of the day. Linzess is designed to help relieve constipation by making bowel movements occur more often, while for IBS-C it may also help ease abdominal pain.
Approval for IBS-C was based on two double-blind studies in which a total 1,604 patients were randomly assigned to take 290 mcg of Linzess or a placebo for at least 12 weeks. Results showed Linzess was more effective in reducing abdominal pain and increasing the number of complete spontaneous bowel movements compared with placebo.
Approval for chronic idiopathic constipation also was based on two double-blind studies in which a total 1,272 patients were randomly assigned to take Linzess at doses of 145 mcg or 290 mcg or a placebo for 12 weeks. Patients taking Linzess experienced more complete spontaneous bowel movements than those taking placebo. The 290 mcg dose is not approved for chronic constipation because studies indicated it was no more effective than the 145 mcg dose.
Linzess was approved with a Boxed Warning to patients and health care professionals that the drug should not be used in patients 16 years of age and younger. Diarrhea was the most common side effect reported during the clinical studies.

We stayed one night in #19. Our quarters were nice and clean, and the staff person who helped with our luggage was reasonably helpful. However,
1. For one thing, the shower didn't work. A printed note in the bathroom noted that the town was making repairs and that, if we encountered any problem, we could expect it to be gone within a few minutes. This was not the case. It didn't work at any time during the afternoon or the evening and it was not working the following morning. Since one of us is unable to take tub baths, that person was unable bathe during our stay there. We feel that room should not have been rented to anyone in its present condition and that, at the very least, the owner should have contacted us to describe the problem. The charge of $299 (without taxes) for the room suggests that this lodging could be expected to be in the category of something like the Hotel Germain-Dominion in Quebec city (where we had wonderful accommodations at $285 per night). Instead, we had to bathe campground style.
2. The person who helped us suggested that we might have "drinks" before dinner in the room that appeared to be a "library". No mention was made of a charge and so it appeared to be a complimentary sherry or glass of wine that would have been quite in keeping with what we might have expected from a Relais and Chateaux establishment. I was quite surprised, then, to see that the wine was billed as a "bar" charge of $12 per glass with an additional 18% service charge. Certainly I would have insisted on better wine for that price (I was given no choice about the wine).
3. The meal was good but the published description of possible menu items (especially with an emphasis on possibly having interesting game) led us to expect better.
4. We don't think that a first-class establishment needs to impose a fixed 18% service charge. We do expect to pay at least that when the service is reasonably good, but we expect (as most people do, I'm sure) to judge the level of service charge that is appropriate based on the service that we receive.
We would have complained about these issues to the manager/owner (Harry) but he was not available during our stay. Overall, we had a wonderful time in eastern Canada and our accommodations -- with the exception of the Kingsbrae Arms -- were excellent. Over the past several years, we have taken many trips and I believe that this is only the third time that our lodgings have been so far out of line from what we were led to expect that I felt compelled to write a complaint. I believe that "you get what you pay for" and also I feel strongly that you should receive what you pay for. That was not the case for our stay in the Kingsbrae Arms.

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

I have not kegged this before, but I'm sure that would be just fine. However, I would age it on
oak in secondary for a few months, then keg within a few weeks of when you want to serve it.

Do you roast and soak all of the pepper the day before brewing, then leave half there until

Once described by Branch Rickey as the best outfielder Brooklyn ever had, Zack Wheat batted over .300 in 13 of his 18 years with the Dodgers. The quiet-spoken Wheat won the 1918 batting title and batted .333 in the 1920 World Series. Though he was scrappy, Wheat wore a 5 1/2-inch shoe, and frequently suffered ankle injuries.
Quotes About
"What Lajoie was to infielders, Zach Wheat is to outfielders, the finest mechanical craftsman of them all." Baseball Magazine, January 1917
Minor Leages
Wheat played in Enterprise, Kansas, in 1906; in Fort Worth in 1907; for Shreveport in 1908 (where he batted .268); and in Mobile in 1909, before his purchase by Brooklyn.
Best Season
At the age of 36, Wheat finished third in NL MVP voting when he hit a career-best .375. He finished second in the league in batting, OPS, doubles, total bases, hits, and doubles. If only Rogers Hornsby had broken his wrist.
Factoid 1
In a game against the Boston Braves, Zack Wheat of the Dodgers once hit a ball on the fly into the crease of a flag in the right field corner at Ebbets Field. Reportedly, the ball sat nestled in that position for a moment before sliding out onto the playing field, where it was retreived. The right fielder fired the ball to home to catch Wheat as he slid, but after some consultation, the two-man crew awarded Wheat with a home run, based on ground rules. National League President John Heydler upheld the ruling and Wheat kept his peculiar home run.
Factoid 2
In the off-season, Zach Wheat raised mules on his farm in Missouri. Some of them were bought by the U.S. Army and were used as pack-mules in Europe during the First World War.
Scouting Report
In January 1917, Baseball Magazine assessed Wheat's defensive ability: "Tris Speaker may be the greatest outfielder in the world. We have no wish to rob the Texan of his well-won honors. But Zach Wheat is the easiest,most graceful of outfielders with no close rivals. It is one of the sights of the diamond to see the great Brooklyn star with his long easy stride speeding like an arrow across the outfield, and without a perceptible effort, spearing the ball with his gloved hand." The publication also writes of Wheat: "The lithe muscles, the panther-like motions of the Indian are his divine right. But he is much more than a brilliant outfielder. He is a substantial one on every important count. His throwing arm is exceptionally good. He is fleet of foot on the base paths, and he is one of the most dreaded and murderous sluggers in the National League." Analysing his swing, the magazine wrote: "there is no chop hitting with Wheat, but a smashing swipe which, if it connects, means work for the outfielders."
"Wheat is a dark-browed, dark-haired silent man of the easy-going type," wrote Baseball Magazine in 1917. "Nomanager and no umpire ever had any trouble with him. Playing baseball is his sole occupation and his sole interest in the summer months. He isn't the least temperamental or excitable, but a steady, sturdy, brilliant ballplayer of the best possible type."
Mack's Old-Timers
The 1927 Philadelphia A's boasted all-time greats and senior citizen ballplayers Eddie Collins (age 40), Ty Cobb (40), Zack Wheat (39), Baby Doll Jacobson (36) and Jack Quinn (43). The team finished in second place.
Ten years apart, Wheat finished in the top ten in National League MVP voting. In 1914 he was ninth, and in 1924 he was third... Wheat played all of a 26-inning, 1-1 tie between the Brooklyn Robins and the Boston Braves in 1920.

Pre-climb, Peter (@pwcarey) and I at a Mexican resto with our hosts Jessica (@italylogue) and Chris (@c_bright).
Jess and me pre-dinner.
My birthday present from Jess & Chris? Marshmallows! This is me with a jar of Fluff (and the weird sun reflection on my throat).
It's a marshmallow laptop party with me and Jess!
Peter filling out the trail card for (it turns out) the wrong trail.
From the parking lot, heading to the wrong trail.
Affirming our camping choice as being totally illegal.
Birthday climb - it's official!
Taking a picture thinking it's the right trail (WRONG!). The horses should have tipped us off...
If I look confused it's because I'm not sure we're in the right place. And we weren't.
And now we are!
My smile says "we just hiked a mile in the wrong direction but I'm going to put on a happy face."
Me and Peter, pre climb.
Can you spot Peter's red backpack in the woods?
Mount Bachelor in the distance.
And a little closer.
After 2.4 miles straight up in the forest, without a view, you come to a clearing. And then you look up, at what you have to climb next. And then you cry.
"It doesn't look so bad, right? RIGHT?"
Broken top mountain from the plateau.
The top part is mostly scree (loose volcanic rock), so while I figured it would merely double the time it already took, I was sorely mistaken. One step forward, two steps back. Same as last year's Agung climb in Indonesia.
Looking back toward the dusty plateau from whence we came.
Looong way back to the forest.
NO HORSES. Should have known...
Peter's self portrait.
I squeezed in for the last one.
Beautiful Moraine Lake just off the plateau.
Hitting the first of the snow patches.
We only realized on the descent that this wasn't, in fact, a trail. Makes sense in retrospect, but everyone else was heading straight up so we did too!
Spot the backpack!
Taking a rest before being accosted by overly friendly (I say rabid) chipmunks.
Exhibit A!
Exhibit B!
Exhibit.....Oh never mind. That's us.
Exhibit C!
Close up of Exhibit C. This guy chased me around (video at the end of the pictures).
More rabid chipmunks!
And me. Slowly coming up the hill. Did I mention slowly?
Finally at the summit and greeted by a beautiful, huge glacier.
The view from the top was superb.
My shadow. I love these shadow pictures because I actually look tall.
There's that red backpack again!
View from the edge of the precipice (aka where the tent was staked for the night).
TADA! 10,300 feet.
Tiny ant-people in the distance.
Shadow again.
And the shadow of the mountain against the view.
Trying to get signal to tell my family I made it to the top.
Self portrait, including shiny forehead.
Peter boiling glacier water for dinner.
Loved these flowers at the top.
MARSHMALLOWS! Peter brought a bag up for birthday celebrationals too. Yay!
The Marshmallow Montage.
"Dear Mum, I made it to the top but might not make it down if the rabid chipmunks attack me again. Love, Jodi"
Tripods sometimes DO come in handy!
Sliver of the moon peeking through.
Credit goes to Peter for these shots - and his Canon EOS 7D.
I loved the ever-shifting sky as the sun set and the moon rose over the horizon. Just beautiful.
....And morning time! Sunrise viewed perfectly from right inside the tent. There are benefits to staking your temporary home at the edge of a cliff: nothing to block your view!
Another one from Peter's shiny camera.
And from my less shiny one.
It got bright VERY quickly, and though I woke up freezing, it was quickly very warm.
Beginning the decent soon enough, but first one last peek over the edge.
Long way down...
I love these shadow-of-the-mountain shots.
On the way down, Peter ran into this guy, who he went to high school with near Seattle. What? The world, she is tiny. Uber-tiny.
On the way down, the view seemed even more surreal than on the ascent. Beautiful colours.
Back down to the plateau area once again.
Been there, done that.
My "walking while wearing gaiters, a tank top and gloves" look. Classy, I know.
Me calling Peter an asshole for taking a video instead of a picture, then owning it. Also: in whispers, with wind. Torture yourself by listening, I dare you.
Me atop South Sister, AGAIN thinking Peter was taking a picture but no, it's a video. Explaining why my face is full of marshmallow.
Me showing off the awesome view from the tent and Peter stuffing his face with marshmallows.
On our descent, my only words of wisdom: "holy crap it's warm!". True story.
Peter liked the ripples on the lake. Thus: this is a ripples-on-a-lake kind of video.
Driving back to Seattle, The Peter looks satisfied with his climb.
Oregon: telling you what you already know, the road sign edition. ROCKS.
DOUBLE LINE MEANS DO NOT PASS. Thanks, Oregon!
Scenery on the drive to Seattle: not bad at all.

They lasted around a month or so of me using them 1-2 times a week though. (Mainly for triceps and shoulders) The Velcro started not holding. Then someone actually stole them.. so I decided to get the red ones from Dick's since a buddy in the gym has them. I love them! They wrap around more and have a lot better Velcro than Walmart's yellow ones. March 1, 2016

Each week I'll talk about the sport I love, college basketball:
• Mississippi State got a big-time boost when the NCAA decided that guard Dee Bost can return to play at the school later this season. Bost claimed that he wanted to pull out of the NBA draft, but then missed the deadline. He was not picked by any NBA squad and wanted to return to Starkville. Bost is academically ineligible for the first semester, and then he will have to sit out a nine-game suspension before getting back into the Mississippi State lineup. The ruling is better than being forced to sit out the entire season. I give the NCAA credit for making the decision well before the start of the season.
• I expect North Carolina's John Henson to enjoy a breakout season in his sophomore year. Obviously he needs to get stronger, but he can block shots and I love his quickness. I am sure Roy Williams loves the idea of having Henson, Tyler Zeller and diaper dandy Harrison Barnes this season.
• Recently, I was thinking about an icon in college basketball journalism. I really miss talking and arguing about hoops with my late buddy, Larry Donald of Basketball Times. He was a very special person, very knowledgeable about the sport, and he left us prematurely.
• Tom Crean of Indiana has a message to all in hoops -- his Hoosiers will be improved! Indiana is on the way back, but the Big Ten is loaded this season. By the way, Crean is part of a very talented coaching family; Tom's wife Joni is the sister of Stanford football coach Jim Harbaugh!
• It has been a busy offseason for Michigan State guard Korie Lucious. The junior point guard had left knee surgery for a small meniscus tear. He will be sidelined from basketball for up to six weeks, which means he should be ready for the start of the season. Lucious previously had an off-court driving incident which still has to be settled in the courts. Hopefully he will have more luck on the court this season.
• Looking ahead a bit to the NBA, a lot of people have been talking about the big three down in Miami. When in doubt, take it to the rack. I am leaning towards the Lakers again as Miami has no answer for Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum up front!
• I know some people looking at my preseason All-Solid Gold teams wonder about diaper dandies. I do not include freshmen in my preseason ratings. I want to see them take the college hardwood first before I put them on All-America teams. It is more important to be on my postseason All-Solid Gold squads, and I do include freshmen on those. Just look at where I had John Wall last season!

There has to be someone in Active.com from Georgia that can help
I had to work in Augusta a couple of weeks ago and drove the bike loop. When leaving transition there is a long stretch of slight upgrade for a couple of miles until crossing the river. There are several climbs and rollers on the out part of the loop. The back part seemed a little friendlier with the exception of the little detour (cant think of the road name off the top of my head). This detour is a 1 mile pretty steep climb, then hangs a left and goes downhill to connect back with the main road. The remainder of the loop is flat to down hill to connect back up with the loop for the second lap. The good news is...after the second lap, there is a 5 mile ride back to the stables that should be really fast.
Hope this helps. I think the bike will be the only real challenge of the course, in that the swim is DOWN river and the run is extremely flat.
Thanks for the description of the course............Very helpful

It's an idea that came from Denmark and it's beginning to take hold in Virginia. "This is sort of the periphery of the building area, the actual building area is a little further in." Art Turns Housing into Homes By Emily Richardson-Lorente • Aug 25, 2015 http://www.smallchichome.com/ Shelter is a big problem for many people in Virginia. Up to 40,000 may be homeless for some period of time during any given year, with many cycling through housing and back to the streets. Now, a Central Virginia group is using art and interior design to attack the problem. The Haven day shelter is one block from the popular pedestrian mall in Charlottesville, in a stately, brown-brick church built in 1837.

Marketing Director Katherine Davis recalls the moment. "We saw this title that was available with the words on the screen -- the little bouncing dot, and we said, 'We have to have this at the theater.'" Charlottesville's Garage: Alternative Art Space By Emily Richardson-Lorente • Aug 20, 2015 http://www.thegarage-cville.com/ Central Virginia boasts plenty of great places for concerts, but there's one venue that offers a unique experience for the audience, and the bands that play there. The garage sits between a funeral home and the office of Christ Episcopal Church. The audience sits across the street on a low wall at the edge of Lee Park. "The busier and busier it gets, we spread up the hill, and you can dance at the back, you can dance in the road if it's a quiet night," says Madeleine Partridge, who has worked two dozen shows since May.

About this Business
From Our Editors
It's fitting that Pho Thien's eponymous dish is also known as "The Super-Bowl." The extra-meaty version of the traditional Vietnamese soup brings together steak, flank, brisket, tendon, tripe, meatballs, and shrimp in a savory broth. In addition to the Pho Thien, the eatery serves up 18 other varieties of the rice-stick noodle soup, as well as pad thai and traditional entrees served alongside rice or vermicelli noodles. Vegetarian options include bun cha gio chay, a plate of fried tofu spring rolls over vermicelli and veggies. And like many Vietnamese restaurants, the cooks also mix up a diverse selection of traditional beverages such as Thai style tea and coffee, avocado shakes, and young coconut juice.

Is Michele Bachmann smarter than a high school sophomore?
Michele Bachmann is famously reluctant to put herself in positions where she might have to talk to someone who disagrees with her.
But Jesus God do we hope she makes an exception in this instance.
Amy Myers, a high school sophomore from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging the Minnesota Representative to a debate and public test on the constitution, U.S. history, and civics.
Myers says Bachmann's frequent errors, misstatements and distortions aren't just bad for civic discourse -- they're bad for women.
"Though politically expedient, incorrect comments cast a shadow on your person and by unfortunate proxy, both your supporters and detractors alike often generalize this shadow to women as a whole," Myers writes.
Meet Amy Myers, the teen who challenged Michele Bachmann to a debate
So to show that Bachmann isn't a great representative of her gender's intellectual capacity, Myers proposes a battle of wits.
This seems like a terrific idea. The public interest is there. Box office and pay-per-view revenue would be enormous. Some enterprising promoter needs to start putting this together STAT.

We'll keep you updated on how Bachmann responds to Myers' challenge. In the meantime, here's the letter:
Dear Representative Bachmann,
My name is Amy Myers. I am a Cherry Hill, New Jersey sophomore attending Cherry Hill High School East. As a typical high school student, I have found quite a few of your statements regarding The Constitution of the United States, the quality of public school education and general U.S. civics matters to be factually incorrect, inaccurately applied or grossly distorted. The frequency and scope of these comments prompted me to write this letter.
Though I am not in your home district, or even your home state, you are a United States Representative of some prominence who is subject to national media coverage. News outlets and websites across this country profile your causes and viewpoints on a regular basis. As one of a handful of women in Congress, you hold a distinct privilege and responsibility to better represent your gender nationally. The statements you make help to serve an injustice to not only the position of Congresswoman, but women everywhere. Though politically expedient, incorrect comments cast a shadow on your person and by unfortunate proxy, both your supporters and detractors alike often generalize this shadow to women as a whole.
Rep. Bachmann, the frequent inability you have shown to accurately and factually present even the most basic information about the United States led me to submit the follow challenge, pitting my public education against your advanced legal education:
I, Amy Myers, do hereby challenge Representative Michele Bachmann to a Public Forum Debate and/or Fact Test on The Constitution of the United States, United States History and United States Civics.
Hopefully, we will be able to meet for such an event, as it would prove to be enlightening.
Sincerely yours,
Amy Myers
Please say yes, Michele. Please.
