The second half is upon us and the Cubs trot out Ted Lilly to start it...for some reason. I assume it was to give Z and Dempster an extra day after their All-Star appearances and to limit Rich Harden as much as possible before he goes on a 27 inning scoreless streak in the playoffs. Nonetheless, Lilly's homer-happy ways will be on display tonight with the ever-present Crawford boxes looming in short left field. If he can manage a win, he'll join Dempster and Zambrano in the 10-win club.
Before the game, the Cubs put Jon Lieber on the disabled list with a right foot strain (same foot that cost him most of last year) and recalled Micah Hoffpauir.
Re: Game 96 Thread / Cubs @ Astros (1 of 3)
On the DL? C'mon! He has sat on a bench for most of the first 100 games! He has been in 25, and only thrown 44 innings. He certainly got "plenty of rest". This cannot be a "legitimate" injury. Can it?
Re: Game 96 Thread / Cubs @ Astros (1 of 3)
What is going on with Fukudome? The guy seems to have lost quite a bit of plate discipline lately.
Re: Game 96 Thread / Cubs @ Astros (1 of 3)
The league has more than figured Fukudome out at this point. In fact you can get him to take strikes and swing at balls :(...ugly ugly.
Re: Game 96 Thread / Cubs @ Astros (1 of 3)
wow...that sucked.
Re: Game 96 Thread / Cubs @ Astros (1 of 3)
And Rich Hill sucked too. He started out well (as someone in the previous thread noted) but Len and Bob reported he ended up giving up 6 runs and had 4 walks in I think only 3 innings of work.

Re: Rich Hill
Didn't help that all 3 inherited runners scored after Hill was pulled from the game too. On the positive, at least no HRs surrendered.
Minus Soriano Cubs are 15-15
Central Division Leaders on June 11
Cubs 42-24 +101 RS-RA
St.L 40-27 +44
Milw 34-31 -5
Since June 11
Milw 18-12 +26 RS-RA
Cubs 15-15 +4
St.L 15-16 -16
St. Louis remains an enigma. TL is a magician.
Milwaukee's big boost has been thanks in large part (some might say entirely) to CC Sabathia's 3-0 record, 2 complete games(that makes 5 on the year now), and 24 innings pitched in 3 starts.
That said, if the Brewers continue to play .600 baseball they project out to a 92-70 season. The Cubs need to finish 36-30 to beat 'em.
Re: Minus Soriano Cubs are 15-15
You mean the Cubs still went .500 during a stretch where one by one they lost their best starting pitcher, their best reliever and 2 of their best hitters? Lou must be a wizard.
Re: Lou must be a wizard.
What's magical about playing .500 ball when you outscore your opponents?
Re: Lou must be a wizard.
you play 1.000 ball when you outscore your opponents.
aggregates mean nothing out of context.
cubs played PIT like 12+ times or something crazy early on...amongst other things.
what does matter is that not many think this team can't be a playoff caliber team. they're good if not spectacular is almost all aspects of team construction (from starters to bench) all over. the best? probably not. one of the best? yeah.
Re: aggregates mean nothing out of context.
But the context is obvious. MLB won-loss records roughly obey this formula:
Winning Percentage = RS ²/(RS ² + RA ²)
When RA = RS, Winning Percentage = .500
When RA > RS, Winning Percentage > .500
Re: aggregates mean nothing out of context.
the context is not obvious. i can come up with a dozen contexts to put it in...ones that include past games, ones that look at individual games, ones that look at strength of schedule.
the "roughly" part should tell you things are not so obvious.
also RA > RS = WP > .500?
its not true for the opposite, either, more just just occasionally...toronto, dodgers, arizona and atlanta right now don't follow it...
Re: aggregates mean nothing out of context.
Apparently MY context wasn't that obvious to navigator so i'll spell it out:
When you don't have 4 of your best players, it's a whole heck of a lot harder to win games.

i hear his injury could linger for about 6 weeks.
Re: have we seen the last of jon lieber till september
does it matter?
I'm much more worried about "July" Kosuke (.152 .204 .239 .443) and "Road" Kosuke (.207 .310 .290 .600 ) right now. What's plan B if he doesn't figure it out??
Re: have we seen the last of jon lieber till september
srumpbuster !!!
/i keed
Re: have we seen the last of jon lieber till september
there's only 1 plan-B for RF unless lou loses his mind again and thinks D.Ward is a RF'r...derosa.
i know he likes hoffPOWER, but i dont think anyone is crazy enough to put him in RF.
not a bad plan-B...not very exciting from a defensive point of view, though not an awful option in RF...leaves 2nd to be covered by fontegod.
mmm depth. yum. good stuff.

Re: Soriano back Thursday
Earth to Gordon Wittenmeyer: If that comes to pass then let the record show that he was out MORE than 6 weeks and lay to rest this apocryphal crap that he's a superfast healer.
So far as a Cub, Soriano is more of an injury looking for a way to happen.
Re: Soriano back Thursday
You articulate good.
Re: Soriano back Thursday
Uh yeah. what he said.
Re: Soriano back Thursday
I had almost the exact same injury as Soriano back in March, and 6 weeks and 3 days later I was back playing softball with almost no noticeable difference. I also started playing a couple weeks before my orthopedist gave me the official go-ahead as well.
His bones might not heal faster than the average human's, but he's not behind at all either. His bones are healing right on schedule with what my doctor told me. I'm pretty sure the whole "fast-healer" thing is just Fonzie being optimistic. It's not like he's some superhero or something.

on mvn there were plenty of diatribes of personal greatness mixed with actual useful info without his commentary and demands mixed in.
its really great when he calls people idiots, morons, stupid, or etc.
you get that once a week at least yet he keeps preferring the company of idiots, morAns, and the stupid.

he's done this on other msg boards, too.
at least its consistent...i guess.

/Prove me wrong
When Scherzer is on his game, he might the the most dominant and intimidating pitcher. A couple of games he has pitched against the Cubs when he had his stuff, and his mound presence was just powerful.
So are lack of chances due to the great pitching?
TLS watch: 0-4 with Iowa last night. Saving his pinch hits for September.
Objectively true. Scherzer's FIP is almost a half point higher than his ERA, mostly I deduce because his BABIP is .249 so something ridiculous like that. It's not like the guy can't be scored on, but when I watch him, I sometimes feel that he's the most in control of the game moving around him.
Certainly might be the hottest pitcher right now, but he's behind a few pitchers by most objective full season standards.
Well noted. You may also note that Lester's Career Playoff ERA is almost a full point lower, and he has a lower WHIP as well.
Can't have everything, I guess.
i'm happy enough with the Lester signing, but Scherzer has more than earned the extra money so far. If he was in the rotation instead of Lester, this team would feel practically bulletproof to me.
Blaspheme maybe, but I think Scherzer is the best pitcher in the NL right now.

by Andrew Slafta
So you're psyched up for the New York Marathon, and you think it'll be you there next year, breaking through the tape while an army of Kenyan competitors trails behind you, their anguished expressions a testament to your fleet-footed victory. Yeah, right! If you want to have even a prayer of finishing, you'll have to train yourself up through our ABCs of self-punishment.
The key to all and any running, acceptance is something you need to master before you even lace up your shoes. A runner must accept that everything they are about to do is probably going to suck. Suck a lot. Like, "this is the point I'd make a Hoover vacuum joke if I were over the age of 40" suck. At best, you are going to exhaust yourself . You're going to work your body to its limits, only finding fleeting moments of happiness in expanding your physical limits and boundaries. At worst, you're going to destroy your body. You're going to push too far, run too fast, and watch your body crumble like a Frenchman during wartime. You must accept that running is not an act of joy, it is an act of torture. Of insanity. Of idiocy. Running is not fun, or exciting, or enjoyable: most especially while you're doing it. It is like performing, or writing, or watching any comedy on the Fox Network. You only like it when it ends. Accept this, and you are on your way.
Breakdown of your Body
I can't stress this enough, this will happen. No matter how well you train or prepare, injuries just happen. Like sequels in the Scary Movie franchise, there's just no way to stop them. The best thing you can do is listen to your body. Let it dictate what you do or do not do. Are your calves hurting? That just means you're under-using your quads. Kick the ground as hard as you can on each and every step, especially with your heel. Pain in the knees? That means you're flexing them too much. Wrap two wooden posts around each knee, and tie them up with an ace bandage. Pretend you're running like Forrest Gump pre-brace removal, or an absurdly athletic Frankenstein's Monster. If that fails–although I can't imagine how–use the CIA method for healing: compression, Ice, and ALCOHOL.
A definite must for runners, or so "most" say. I have my doubts. People tend to swim fastest when they can't breathe…I don't totally see why that can't be true for runners too.
Breeding (or, you doing it in the future)
Male readers: in the illustrious words of six-time Ironman World Championship Winner Mark Allen: "Tuck yo s#@t in." If you don't want to be sporting two over sized–and functionally useless–dangling grapefruits, get yourself a pair of supportive running shorts, or at least supportive underwear. The gym shorts you wear to bed? Not going to cut it. Unless of course you were planning to pick your kids out of a Skymall Catalog. And don't laugh, they sell everything.
Female readers (AKA my psychiatrist Janet): if you're running, you don't have to worry about your future breeding at all. It either means you ALREADY are in good shape, or that you care enough about your body to try and get in great shape. Either way, men will be flocking to you like a port-a-john on race day (but more romantically… hopefully). And there's a good chance–with your kicking bod–you already have a man falling head over heels in love with you. Janet…
Budgeting Your Time
If you're serious about running; say goodbye to your friends, your social schedule, just your free time in general. Running is time consuming, especially once you get into the longer distances. Sure you may only be going on a 40-minute run, but first you have to stretch for a few minutes. Then once you're done you need to stretch again, then shower, then refuel your body from the beating it just took. Was it an especially hard beating ( Hehe. No, focus! That was not a "whacking it" joke)? Maybe you just need a small nap. Had to work after? Then that probably means you're not going out with friends later. Didn't have to work, but the race is two days away? Well then you're definitely not hanging out, you're going to bed instead. Or you're going out, and only drinking water. Either way you slice it, you are now a social pariah. One hated by both family and friends, chastised for his loneliness and solitude. You're a shut in now, only seeing people through the small slit of light entering through your boarded up windows. Peering out at the townsfolk, in between your virulent rantings and meals of fish heads and sand. Or you power through it, and live your life normally. Maybe drink a 5-Hour Energy or something. To each his own.
Don't do it. Bitching does nothing. Like watching the news or washing your hands.
Belly (or what to put in it)
Always hydrate before a run. If you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated. Avoid large meals directly before a run, give your body at least two hours to digest before you lace up. If you run for over an hour, bring water, and something to eat. I recommend energy gels, but figure it out for yourself as every person's body is different (minus of course mine and Michelangelo's David). Otherwise eat healthy and smart. Ask yourself, "would Guy Fieri eat this?" If the answer is yes, put the food into a bag, and rifle it out of your window.
Boobs & butts
A double edged sword every male runner needs to know about. On the one hand, both of these parts–in the right conditions–can be life saving. At some point during your training, you're going to have a horrible run. Your energy will drop, your body crumble, your will and strength will leave you like a Kentucky Basketball freshman. And then somewhere–from out of the corner of your eye–you will catch her. A gorgeous girl with an unbearably perfect body. You'll try not to stare but the bright colors, the tight lycra, the awkwardly placed racing stripes: they will leave you helpless. And in that moment, your energy–your spirit–will come rushing back. You suddenly forget about the pain, about the exhaustion. You're instead striding like a gazelle, running a mile under four minutes, and hoping that this girl catches you in your majesty. Your run has been saved, and in some cases extended depending on how fast she is (and wow, that definitely didn't come out sketchy at all…).
On the other hand, butts and boobs are the worst. Most specifically your own. Ever need to fart while running a half marathon? Awful. Ever run 15 miles and have your t-shirt rub your pecs the wrong way? Whatever is the word for "worse than awful." What I would call "Seacresty." At some point your butt and boobs will betray you. They will turn on you like a bargain-hunter on Black Friday. And if yours don't, one of the ones you get caught staring at will. Honestly, women don't take kindly to that… so weird. Isn't me staring a compliment? Isn't "nice can" just another way of saying you look great today? Women… I do not get them. Or understand them.
Take them.
Body Odor
A runner's biggest enemy with the exception of raptors, which are every thing on earth's biggest enemy. If you run enough, there is no way to avoid your shoes and clothing smelling. Deodorizing balls and sprays just add another layer of odor on top of the bad ones. It's like cleaning up vomit by putting potpourri on top of it. It's works for about an hour just about until your friend's parents find the source of the problem next to the love seat. Or, so I imagine it's like that. Mirazyme is a spray that helps with shoe odors, you're best served with wool clothing to prevent the smells from being that bad, and for everything else, buy your room copious amounts of air fresheners. And then your roommate's copious amounts of alcohol. Probably in a 2-1 ratio in favor of the latter.
The final, and most important thing a runner must learn, know, and accept. Completion in running does not exist. Even if all of your training pays off, even if you finish the race faster than you hoped and with no injuries or setbacks, the sense of completion–of achievement–you have will be fleeting at best. You're going to immediately start planning the next run, the next goal. You ran a half marathon, why not a marathon? You finished in 2 hours, why not 1:50? Runners don't stop running. There is no end game. It's like Meryl Streep's career, or a jar of Marshmallow fluff. They keep going on forever, in perpetuity and beyond. You'll always keep running, whether you want to or not. But then again, why would you stop?
Yeah, I don't know either. Deep though, eh??

In 2008 a Unitarian congregation in Tennessee was fired upon by a reported devotee of Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage. In the shadow of last summer's "ground-zero mosque" controversy, a NYC cab driver's throat was slashed after he identified himself as a Muslim.
Were these the acts of disturbed individuals, already predisposed toward violence, or the natural outcome of so much inflammatory rhetoric being injected into the national discourse? Are hateful demagogues in any way responsible for the criminality of those who take them seriously?
John Hamilton of Media Matters raises these questions in a new piece, in which he interviews Byron Williams, a jailed gunman who credits Glenn Beck and Fox for inspiring his ill-fated insurrection against the Tides Foundation and ACLU.

Health 'navigators' gather to tout successesApril 30,2014
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER - A group of Vermont Health Connect navigators is talking up success stories in getting people enrolled in health insurance coverage through the state health exchange.
Representatives of five groups involved in the effort gathered at the Statehouse on Wednesday to say there have been technical challenges in helping people use the website, but there have been thousands of success stories that haven't received sufficient attention.
Amelia Schlossberg of the Community Health Centers of Burlington says her organization has handled more than 1,400 enrollments in Vermont Health Connect. She told a story of one family in which the mother was facing major surgery. Schlossberg says she was able to help the family get coverage for less money than they had been paying in health premiums previously.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The city has released a statement defending its response to recent overflow issues, ...

Washington Gladden (February 11, 1836 - July 2, 1918) was a leading American Congregational church pastor and early leader of the Social Gospel movement. He was a leading member of the Progressive Movement, serving for two years as a member of the Columbus, Ohio, City Council and campaigning against Boss Tweed as acting editor of the New York Independent. Gladden was probably the first leading U.S. religious figure to support unionization of the workforce; he also opposed racial segregation. He was a prolific writer, with 40 books to his credit, as well as a number of hymns. (wikipedia.org) Review by John Cribbs: It's a well-rounded book about the Bible. The writer relates and falls back on existing theological experts when necessary to validate matters. This is a strong addition to any Christian's library. There's many people who have turned away from their faith, due to having identified many things that this book delves into and being discounted as 'sinful' when bringing up matters found through genuine pursuit of understanding of the Bible while studying it.

Wow you all come from cool places.
I, unfortunately, reside in the farming capital of England: Norfolk. Its the most flat and boring place in the world.
Welcome to the site, Friggin Hairless.
I've just moved from Norfolk (King's Lynn) back over the border into Lincolnshire (Sutton Bridge), so I have to disagree with you. Compared to Lincs, Norfolk is beautiful. You have all those forests around Castle Rising and Thetford. We have nothing but cabbages and corn in Lincolnshire.

Skill Level Beginner
Camera RAW has a series of sliders in the second section of the Basic panel that give you lots of control over the brightness and contrast in a RAW file as you process it. Before we start looking at these sliders, let's take a look at the histogram at the top of the screen. The histogram is a bar chart of the tones in the image, given the current processing settings. The left side of this chart represents the darkest possible tones, and the right side of the chart, the brightest possible tones, with tones of gray in between. This mound represents the actual tones in this image, given the current processing settings.
As I move the sliders in the Basic panel, this mound will change shape, because I'll be redistributing the tones in the image. Although this may look like a mound, it's actually made up of vertical individual bars that are squeezed together. The height of a particular bar represents the relative frequency of the corresponding tone. So you can see that the highest bars here are in the light part of the histogram, and that makes sense, because there are lots of light pixels here in the snow. Notice that there are no bars above the brightest parts of the histogram, and that means that there are no bright whites in this image. That's why the whole image looks kind of dull.
So the first thing I want to do is to push some of the brightest tones in the image over to bright white. To do that, I'll go to the Exposure slider, controls the bright tones in the image. I'll drag the Exposure slider to the right, and as I do that, you can see the histogram moving over to the right. So how do I know how far to go here? Well, there are a couple of ways. One way is that I can hold down the Alt key -- that's the Option key on the Mac -- as I drag this slider. And as I drag to the right, notice that I start to see these areas of color or white on top of the black.
Those are the pixels that are being pushed to pure white, with no detail. Well, I do want to keep detail in most of the bright pixels in the image, so when I see this, I back off to the left until there are just a few pixels of bright white like this. I also can keep my eye on this highlight warning icon in the histogram. When that lights up, it means that I am pushing some pixels off the chart, so that they have no detail. So I can back off a little bit on the Exposure slider like this, until that highlight warning goes away.
You really can't judge the image yet, because I haven't set the black point. To do that, I'm going to move down to the Blacks slider here, and I'm going to drag that to the right. As I do, the left side of the histogram is going off to the left, pushing some of the darkest pixels to pure black. So now I have some pixels that are bright white, some that are dark black, and I've strung out the pixels in between across the histogram, so there are more tones of gray. Let's do a before and after by going up to the Preview checkbox. I'll turn that off to see how the image was when I started, and here's how it is now.
The next thing I want to do is come down and move the Brightness slider, which affects the overall brightness of the image. If I were to move the Brightness slider to the right, the whole image would get brighter. I think in this case, I want to move the Brightness slider to the left, to make the image a little darker, so that I can start to see some of the grays in the snow, because I don't want all of the snow to be plain white. There's also a Contrast slider that I'll sometimes use. Moving the Contrast slider to the right increases the contrast. In this case, that's making me lose some detail in the squirrel, so I'm going to move the Contrast slider the other way, bringing it down so that I see more different tones of gray in the squirrel, and in the snow.
And I always can go back and tweak a slider. So at this point, I might decide, gee, I want more brightness in the image, so I'll move the Brightness slider over to the right. I'm pretty happy with that. I'll do one more before and after, going up to the Preview box, and unchecking it. So that's where I started, and that's how the image is with the sliders that I've moved in the Basic panel. There are some other sliders that I probably would move with this image, like the Recovery slider, the Fill Light slider, the Clarity slider, and the Vibrance slider, but I have some other examples to show you those sliders.
So I'm going to move on, and open a different image in the document window; one that I have open over here in the column on the left. And I'd like to see the entire image on the screen, so I'm going to double-click the Hand tool in the toolbar. This image has some very bright areas in the clouds, and some pretty dark areas in the foreground. So let's see if we can bring back some detail in both the highlights, and the shadows in this image. The Recovery slider here in the second section of the Basic panel can sometimes bring back detail in highlights, like these in the clouds that are blown out.
In other words, that appear to be pure white, with no detail. By the way, this is something you can't do in a JPEG, so it's another advantage of shooting RAW. In the histogram, there is a spike on the right, and that spike represents the blown out pixels. So I'm going to keep my eye on that spike, as I go down and drag the Recovery slider to the right. And as I do this, I can see that I'm bringing back detail in the clouds. I'll do the same thing with the fill light to bring back some detail in the shadows, dragging the Fill Light slider slightly over to the right.
Now, I don't want to get too aggressive with the fill light, like this, because it can give you kind of a strange muted look in the gray tones, like this, so I usually just move the fill light slider a little bit. Now let's take a look at how the image was a moment ago, before moving these two sliders, by unchecking Preview. So that's where I started; a very contrasty image, with very little detail in the clouds, and dark shadows, and here's where I ended up, with detail in the highlights, and in the shadows.
So that covers all the sliders in the Lighting section of the Basic panel. As you can see, they have a huge effect on how the processed image looks. They really are the basic darkroom for a digital RAW file, and they let you be the artist. To recap, the Exposure slider sets a white point, and brightens light tones. The Blacks slider sets a black point, and darkens dark tones. The Brightness slider brightens or darkens the image overall. The Contrast slider increases or decreases the range of grays; the contrast.
And Recovery can bring back blown out highlights in some cases, which is a big benefit of working with a RAW file over a JPEG, while the Fill Light can bring back blocked up shadows.

Leaders in Training
Published by Jack Williams for Kier Services in Local Government and also in Communities
Kier North Tyneside building surveyor Caroline Galloway, Kier regional director Mike Furze and Kier North Tyneside assistant commercial accountant Paul Allen
Employees aspiring to become managers at Kier North Tyneside are being given the opportunity to realise their ambition thanks to a unique training course, which starts this month and is run by the company.
The Aspiring Managers Programme is being run in partnership with Tyne Met College and is open exclusively to Kier North Tyneside employees, 63% of whom come from the local area. The course helps employees develop the necessary skills to become leaders in the company. Those enrolled will complete monthly training sessions for the next 12 months, as well as carry out a group community challenge.
Last year, 15 Kier North Tyneside delegates took part in the course and are all continuing to use the skills they developed for the benefit of Kier North Tyneside customers. The 15 trainees completed three projects as part of the community challenge, with one group promoting health and well-being at work, another revitalising scrubland for Battle Hill Primary School in Wallsend, and the third raising money for the Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade (TVLB).
Caroline Galloway, building surveyor at Kier North Tyneside, was one of the delegates who completed the programme in 2013 and helped raise money for the TVLB. She commented: "The training programme is a great opportunity for any Kier North Tyneside employees who want to develop their skillset, take on increased responsibilities and promote effective working through the business.
"The community challenge was an important part of the training programme as it allowed us to put into practice the skills we had been learning about, such as teamwork, delegation, using one another's skills and managing resources. It was also a test for our organisational skills, ensuring everybody knew where to be and when.
"For our challenge we raised funds for the active side of the TVLB, which averages 120 callouts a year ranging from monitoring and gathering information on broken down boats to recovering cliff casualties from our coastline."
The TVLB was established in 1864 following the wreck of the SS Stanley and was the first in the country to provide sea rescue facilities on a voluntary basis. It later become the model for other life brigades throughout Great Britain, but is now just one of three active volunteer Life Brigades left in the country.
Galloway continued: "We organised various ideas to raise funds for the TVLB, with our main driver being an annual leave raffle. From our fundraising we donated £305 to the charity, which was then match funded by The Kier Foundation making the total raised up to £610. This year the charity celebrates its 150th anniversary and hopefully the money we raised will help it to continue its life-saving work."
Paul Major, assistant commercial accountant at Kier North Tyneside, was another of the 2013 delegates and helped with the Battle Hill Primary School scrubland development. He said: "The project we chose involved revitalising an area used by the schoolchildren to grow vegetables. It required trimming and weeding, as well as a new coat of paint for their shed, and resulted in a safer and much more pleasant area for the children to use.
"The community challenge gave us a great opportunity, not only to utilise the management skills learned through this course, but to use them to help and improve the local community. Battle Hill's pupils can now once again use their planters for growing fruit and vegetables, helping with their learning and development and also promoting the school's Healthy Living strategy."
Kier regional director, Mike Furze, said: "At Kier we're strongly committed to providing high quality training to our employees, as this programme demonstrates. It benefits our employees, allowing them to develop and progress their careers, while ensuring we can continue to provide a first-rate service to local residents."

Findings for PPC in Savannah
Savannah Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Savannah was the 168th least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of May 2016. Savannah also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in Georgia, ranking as number 4th. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Month over Month Google Adwords Prices for Savannah Rise in May 2016
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Savannah keywords increased by 11% in May 2016.
Not surprisingly, the month over month price increases for Savannah Google Adwords terms helped increase prices (yr./yr. price increase)% higher than the same period last year.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 36% Lower in Savannah than Charleston
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Savannah are 36% lower than in Charleston. The average price of a click in Savannah is $10.01.
This price differential is expected however, as Charleston has a larger population than Savannah.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another similarly sized city, Clarksville, and found the average price of a click in Savannah was 52% higher than in Clarksville.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

All done!
As it gets cooler, I hope to get back to the cemetery and finish it up. I only have about 20% photodocumented and I really want to get it complete. It was hot and brutally muggy when I did what is now posted. Fall is just around the corner though!

I received an email from "Amir Pirani" firstname.lastname@example.com with my Transaction ID. I email this person back asking where my report was. I've never heard back from them. Needless to say I've never received anything.... and yes they charged my debit card.
I've called and emailed their payment center (CCBill Consumer Services), they have not been very helped in helping me contact/locate Free Essay. I'm wondering if they are in this together. I don't feel like I can trust either company now and I don't want to see someone else get burned. Here I am trying to better myself and I get taken......

Tom Hall and Baltimore Choral Arts
Tom Hall and the Baltimore Choral Arts Society
The Baltimore Choral Arts Society, now in its 50th season, is one of Maryland's premier cultural institutions. The Symphonic Chorus, Full Chorus, Orchestra, and Chamber Chorus perform throughout the mid-Atlantic region, as well as in Washington, D.C., New York, and in Europe.
In 2007, Tom Hall led the Chorus in an acclaimed three-city tour of France including sold-out performances in Paris and Aix-en-Provence. The Chorus has also appeared at Spain's prestigious Festival of the Costa del Sol.
For the past 19 years, WMAR Television, the ABC network affiliate in Maryland, has featured Choral Arts in an hour-long special, Christmas with Choral Arts, which won an Emmy Award in 2006. Mr. Hall and the chorus were also featured in a PBS documentary called Jews and Christians: A Journey of Faith, broadcast nationwide, and on National Public Radio's Special Coverage in 2001. The ensemble has been featured frequently on The First Art (Public Radio International), Performance Today (National Public Radio), VOX (XM Radio), and The Organ Loft (Public Radio International). In Europe, Mr. Hall and Choral Arts were featured in a program devoted to the music of Handel broadcast on Radio Suisse Romande. On local radio, Mr. Hall is the host of Choral Arts Classics, a monthly program on WYPR that features the Choral Arts Chorus and Orchestra, and he is the award-winning Culture Editor on WYPR's Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast.
A CD on Gothic Records, Christmas from America's First Cathedral, was released in the fall of 2010. A recording with Dave Brubeck, featuring Brubeck's oratorio, The Gates of Justice, was released internationally on the NAXOS label in 2004; Choral Arts has two other recordings in current release: Christmas with Choral Arts, and a live recording of the Rachmaninoff All-Night Vigil. Mr. Hall produced Let Freedom Ring!, a highly successful recording for Gothic Records featuring the Washington Men's Camerata, as well the soundtracks for Legends on the Learning Channel, and numerous radio and television commercials.
The Choral Arts chorus has appeared with the National Symphony, and it makes regular appearances with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Acclaimed artists collaborating with Choral Arts have included Chanticleer, Dave Brubeck, the King's Singers, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Anonymous 4, and Peter Schickele, among others.
In his 34th season as Music Director, Tom Hall has added nearly 200 new works to the BCAS repertoire, and he has premiered works by Peter Schickele, Libby Larsen, Rosephanye Dunn Powell, Robert Sirota, James Lee, III, and other internationally acclaimed composers.
Mr. Hall is active as a guest conductor including appearances with the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston, the Louisiana Philharmonic, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the Choral Arts Society of Philadelphia, the Berkshire Choral Festival, Musica Sacra in New York, and the Britten Sinfonia in Canterbury, England. His 2005 concert with Orchestre de Chambre de Paris was broadcast on French television. Mr. Hall has prepared choruses for Leonard Bernstein, Robert Shaw, Helmuth Rilling, and others, and he served for ten years as the Chorus Master of the Baltimore Opera Company. In 2014, he was awarded the American Prize in Conducting, and honored by Chorus America by being named a Director Laureate.
Mr. Hall is also a well known teacher, lecturer, and writer. He has served as the President of Chorus America, a panelist for the National Endowment for the Arts, and he has been an Artist in Residence at Indiana University, the University of Cincinnati, Temple University, and Syracuse University. He was the Director of Choral Activities at Goucher College for 31 years, and he has also taught at the Peabody Conservatory, the University of Baltimore, Towson University, Morgan State University, and the Johns Hopkins University.
Tom Hall lives in Baltimore with his wife, Linell Smith. Their daughter, Miranda Hall, is a graduate student in the Yale School of Drama.
Free Community Sing
Friday, October 07, 2016
The Baltimore Choral Arts Society, in collaboration with The Open Church of Maryland, will present the 3rd annual Free Community Sing. A wonderful night filled with spirituals and gospel music. There is no experience required; singers of every level are welcome. Music Director Tom Hall and Baltimore Choral Arts, Music Director Marco Merrick and the Community Concert Choir of Baltimore, along with our inspiring guest conductor, Michele Fowlin, invite you to join us for an evening of fellowship and music!
This event is free and open to the public. There will be no tickets and seating will be first come, first served.
The voices rang out with resplendent confidence, and the sopranos had no apparent difficulty reaching the cruel and challenging high B's in the piece. The chorus's performance was the best part of the concert….the thunderous power of this unique masterpiece never fails to stir the blood, and the ovation was loud, long and well deserved.

Horse Guards, the red-brick building in the centre built in 1663-5, was the headquarters of the army General Staff, and housed the horse guards and some foot guards. It was replaced in the 1750s with the white stone building that stands today. The Venetian Canaletto arrived in London in 1746, his paintings in demand from rich patrons. However, this work was produced speculatively, possibly in the hope of selling it to a wealthy resident of Downing Street (seen on the right). Canaletto later advertised in the Daily Advertiser for prospective buyers to view the painting at his Soho lodgings.

Consider it a compliment to Buck, the 6-foot-3 freshman center from Stonington. It came courtesy of coach Geno Auriemma, who called Buck a player he'd love to hang on to for an extra year.
Auriemma used Buck's practice performance Tuesday as an example.
Buck, although sidelined with mononucleosis for nearly a month and slow to recover from it, was giving her best effort, gleaming with sweat, her cheeks flame red. Playing defense against UConn's starting lineup, Buck even emphatically blocked a shot against Huskies' All-American Maya Moore.
The Huskies were preparing for today's game against Hartford at the XL Center (noon, CPTV).
"If she didn't have all those qualities," Auriemma said of Buck's willingness to contribute in practice, "you'd say, 'C'mon, get this over with and move you on.'"
Instead, Auriemma likened Buck's potential to that of Jessica Moore, the only other UConn player Auriemma ever redshirted that wasn't injured. Moore sat out as a freshman in 2000-2001 and later helped UConn to three national championships (2002-04) before moving on to the WNBA in 2005.
"This kid's gonna be 100 times better three years from now," Auriemma said, speaking of Buck while comparing her to Jessica Moore. "Why waste a year in that situation?"
Buck, The Day's former three-time Player of the Year and Stonington's all-time leading scorer, has not played a game for UConn, which will make her eligible to apply for a medical hardship waiver from the NCAA following the season.
She is still permitted to practice and travel with the team.
It was confirmed Buck had mono on Nov. 14. She returned to practice on Dec. 2, but Auriemma noticed that her breathing was labored and that Buck's conditioning was going to be a tough thing for her to get back in time for her to contribute.
It was then he approached the topic of redshirting with Buck, who ran it by her mother, Mayada Wadsworth.
Buck said she knows it's what's best.
"It's only good for me," Buck said. "It means I have a year to practice in the system and still have four years to play."
Buck said it's a disappointment not to be able to play, but refuses to feel sorry for herself and said her teammates have the right to "practice against people that are as ready as they are."
"Yeah, you want to come in and play, but it's not like you're losing the year entirely. Hopefully it will result in a higher quality of playing. That's the point," Buck said. "If I feel sorry for myself, then I'm not benefitting from this year at all."
Auriemma was asked if he would still use Buck in an emergency situation, thus losing the redshirt option, and he said that's a difficult question to answer but that he's inclined to say no.
The point, he said, is not only that the team benefit from Buck staying an extra year, but that she gets the maximum benefit from it, as well.
"You have a kid who hasn't played at all and now it's the middle of February and you say, 'OK, look, I want you to play,'" Auriemma said. "It would be unfair. It's more likely we'd just have to figure it out."
"The fact he wants me to stay another year makes you feel good," Buck said. "... I want to gain strength, to have it show on the court. I want to learn everything I can about everything." Article UID=f237c86a-435d-4f01-a35c-3ba29a41deb9

The Welfare State in Britain: A Political History Since 1945
This textbook uses political theory to explain the growth of welfare in post-war Britain with special emphasis on social policy. Michael Hill focuses upon the political processes which influenced the key reforms of the late 1940s, and the ways in which those reforms have subsequently been in some respects consolidated and in other respects undermined. The so called "crisis of the welfare state" that has dominated recent rhetoric, has its origins in the very period when the welfare state was believed to have been created. Despite its importance for electoral politics, social policy is shown to have often been subordinate to economic and foreign policy. The book should be useful reading for all students of social welfare and social policy as well as the political history of Britain since 1945.

Dutchman Gerco Schröder rises to second behind Ahlmann, thanks in part to his team's victory in the Nations Cup, while Frenchman Kevin Staut drops to fourth from second.
Splitting that pair is American Beezie Madden who along with Australia's Edwina Tops-Alexander are the sole female representatives in the top 10.
In the latest dressage rankings, there is no change to the top six, with Adelinde Cornelissen, Helen Langehanenberg, Charlotte Dujardin occupying the top three spots.
The first change comes in seventh place, where Patrick Kittel displaces Italian Valentina Truppa.
As for eventing, New Zealander Andrew Nicholson still tops the rankings, while his compatriot Jonathan Paget takes third place from Germany's Michael Jung.
More significant changes are found a little further down the ladder where Britain's Marilyn Little climbs to sixth from 16th and her compatriot Oliver Townend rises to seventh from 13th.
But the most impressive rise this month is that of young Frenchman Astier Nicolas who climbs from 32nd to 8th.

Each opening starts with 50 lives. Once its lives reach 0, the opening is voted off and cannot be added again. Example: Hurt King's Indian Defence, Heal The Ruy Lopez. You may also post 'Add Opening'. Example: Add Opening: Sicilian Defence. Only main openings are voted for, not variations. If you vote more than twice in one hour, the result will be the opposite to what you want. Have fun!

To foster inner awareness, introspection, & reasoning is more efficient than meditation & prayer.
Dalai Lama
Source: The Path to Tranquility: Daily Wisdom
Contributed by: poetgrrrl
To develop patience, you need someone who willfully hurts you. Such people give us real opportunities to practice tolerance. They test our inner strength in a way that even our guru cannot. Basically, patience protects us from being discouraged.
We can hardly call a beggar an obstacle to generosity.
True compassion is not just an emotional response but a firm commitment founded on reason. Therefore, a truly compassionate attitude towards others does not change even if they behave negatively. Through universal altruism, you develop a feeling of responsibility for others: the wish to help them actively overcome their problems.
Suffering increases your inner strength. Also, the wishing for suffering makes the suffering disappear.
Some people, sweet and attractive, and strong and healthy, happen to die young. They are masters in disguise teaching us about impermanence.
If the basic human nature was aggressive, we would have been born with animal claws & huge teeth -- but ours are very short, very pretty, very weak! That means we are not well equipped to be aggressive beings. Even the size of our mouth is very small. So I think the basic nature of human beings should be gentle.
Be Kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Rookie D-linemen could make debuts on Sunday
Fangio: Adding D-lineman this week 'very possible'
Vic Fangio on Mike Purcell: "He's versatile. He's experienced when you compare him to Quinton and Tank. So he's ready to go, if needed." (AP)
Quinton Dial (71) is recovering from toe surgery; Tank Carradine (95) is recovering from an ACL tear suffered at Florida State. (AP)
SANTA CLARA – Quinton Dial and Tank Carradine took part Wednesday in their first full practices since the 49ers drafted them in April.
Originally, the plan might have been to bring them along slowly and see if they could begin making contributions on the field after the bye week.
Well, so much for that plan.
[REWIND: 49ers contemplating roster move on defensive line]
"That would obviously be good in a perfect world," 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said. "But we're not in a perfect world right now with the status of our defensive line. So we got to do what we got to do."
Nose tackle Glenn Dorsey, who took over as the starter after Ian Williams' season-ending fractured ankle, is not likely to be available Sunday due to a hamstring strain. Tony Jerod-Eddie, who originally signed with the 49res last year as an undrafted free agent, is expected to get his first NFL start after seeing action in six career games.
Demarcus Dobbs is the only other healthy backup defensive lineman. So the 49ers are likely to add a player to their 53-man roster for Sunday's game. Nose tackles Dial and Mike Purcell, who has spent the first six weeks on the practice squad, are the most likely candidates to be activated for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.
"We might have to bring one or both of them up," Fangio said.
Dial, a fifth-round draft pick from Alabama, has been rehabilitating after surgery in January to repair torn ligaments and tendons in his big toe. After participating in a walk-through practice Tuesday, Dial made an impressive first showing on the practice field.
"He practiced yesterday, got a bunch of reps in (and) did fine," Fangio said. "I want to see where he's at today. Sometimes the day after kind of tells you the story, too. So we'll see where he's at today and tomorrow. We don't have to make any of those decisions until Saturday."
The 49ers are scheduled for a two-hour afternoon practice on Thursday. After a lighter practice on Friday, the team will fly to Nashville.

Purcell, an undrafted rookie from Wyoming, might have the advantage because he took part in the 49ers' entire offseason program, training camp and the four exhibition games.
"Mike's been able to go in there and battle in the trenches for us," Fangio said. "He's versatile. He's experienced when you compare him to Quinton and Tank. So he's ready to go, if needed."
Carradine, a second-round draft pick, is returning from an ACL tear that cut short his final season at Florida State. Carradine appears to be on pace for a potential promotion to the 53-man roster after the games Sunday at Tennessee and the following week against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
"Man, they came back yesterday and it was amazing to see," 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis said. "You can tell they've been working hard. . . . Those are going to be guys, they are going to have to come in and play and make a difference for us. I know they will. They're good kids and they work hard. We're here to help them and implement them into the defense."

Dial and Carradine, who remain on the reserve/non-football injury list, have attended meetings since coming to the team. Both should have a firm grasp of their responsibilities within the 49ers' defense.
"They got to show it on the field that they know what to do rather than in a meeting room," Fangio said. "And they're in the process of doing that. Overall, based on this is Day 1 for them, and no OTAs, no training camp, I thought they both did fine."

Eliie for sexiest NPC
claptrap is much better.
My vote goes to Face McShooty. I've noticed that you haven't shot me in the face....maybe you're weighing the moral pro's & cons, OH MY GOD, SHOOT ME IN THE GD FACE!!! I kid, I kid.... Honestly scooter is my personal favorite, followed by Ellie(likes: cuddling,murder). Claptrap is classic, and Tina rocks too. As long as a BL character wins, I'm cool with it.

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Larry King's Suspenders
Let's just say none of his pants are safe.
Larry King on how many pairs of suspenders he owns: "Never counted 'em. But my guess would be — there are suspenders in New York and Washington and, of course, at my home in Los Angeles — 150. But they can't be clip-ons. Every pair of pants I buy — jeans, anything — we sew in the suspender buttons." [Time]
