Going to be relaxing and then when there is about two days before GCSE results day, panicking
Working and going Malia with the lads
Anyways, I was too scared to open the envelope for my year 10 results, had to have my sister do it for me. Did quite well, failed miserably as Maths but hey, now I've passed my GCSe maths I swear, I'm going to be panicking exactly the way I was before my year 10 results, and my hands will probably be shaking before I open it but I swear, I'll feel a huge relief if I've got the grades I wanted, that feeling is good

Cant afford it :/
Plus i'm only in uni 2-3 days a week so there isn't much point in paying for halls AS WELL as travelling costs = too much! D:
But then again, my uni's are at liek the other other side of the country, so i may need to replan something, unless i get into uni locally
I'm not following you here.
If you stayed in the halls why would you be paying halls and travelling costs?
And get a student loan?

I would recommend spending it productively; I'm kind of the similar to you in the sense that I don't really see the point/fun of partying, getting drunk and playing video games all day (call me boring .)
I am probably going to be spending a lot of time at home, so I want to make sure I stay fit and healthy by exercising. I would also suggest trying to discover a new hobby, or working on a passion of yours, i.e. something you enjoy. Spending too much time working can become really boring and tedious, and you may regret it next Autumn.
Personally, I just recently discovered Esperanto, an auxiliary language designed to be learnt quickly and easily, so will hopefully be working on that as it is something that interests me and I want to develop a new skill.
PS A job and/or voluntary work is always a good idea if you can't find anything else to do.
I also plan on working on my drawing skills and watching and reading things I haven't yet watched or read. My summer might be boring but I don't really know what else to do.
Just got back from London yesterday, was amazing
Off to Tenerife in July and Barcelona in August, and my brother is getting married in September
In between will be lots of working and spending time with friends/family/boyfriend and gym
Oh haha I've been making a list of ideas of things to do that pop into my head during revision to keep my motivated!
Catch up on all Adventure Time episodes, play Minecraft, upload more stuff to Deviantart, paint a canvas, go to Thorpe Park, get clothes for 6th form and panic before results day! Luckily my birthday is during Summer so I'll have that to look forward too as well.
Also I have some work experience and charity work lined up.

As for me, the subjects that I chose for A-levels are: Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Economics. I've already finished C1 and hoping to finish C2/C3 by the end of summer (I know most of you will be like what the f*ck you won't have the motivation to do that) but I will and have. For those that say "sleep, bang out PS3/Xbox, sleep some more, go partying" I just can't stand that, it's like just rotting away over summer and once you start A-levels it will be such a big change from doing nothing to - arguably - the most intensive period of your education.
Any ways, enough from me.
Same thing as normal; think of all the great things I'll do like brush up on trumpet and guitar, relearn spanish, workout and play squash, earn money and so on and so forth.
Then I'll actually do none of that, get as few shifts as I'm contractually obliged to, see all my friends, spend way too much money, and spend every hour that hasn't been used up by this in bed or lying in the garden.
Probably some volunteering, camping with my best friend, hopefully Amsterdam with the girls off my course and trying to improve my German and Italian before I go back for second year when my work actually counts.
After my A2 exams finish I'm going to spend my time chilling out, reading, getting fit, etc. I may get a job. Maybe. I have two interviews lined up already but I don't know if I'm going to properly go for the job or not.

Im also gonna go to the Olympics, play football and chill with my mates.
Why revise after going through all this hell LOL. I think you are doing the right thing before going uni . Just can't believe ppl want to revise.
Know a way of making quite a few £ an hour. It's quite fiddly but should get me about £20 an hour.
I have made a few and £20-£30 is reasonable.
I'm going to buy and kindle read lots, as that's something I haven't been able to do for so long with exams. I'll also keep an eye out for any jobs going, as well as all the usual stuff i.e. going out with friends etc. I just want to relax in general, at least until results day.
Self-teach myself German. Prepare myself for college by revising/learning French, looking over C1 for Maths, S1 for Further Maths and maybe look over some of the work in History (I think we do Russia from about the 1860s-1950s). Sleep, since I like sleep (a bit too much). I wouldn't even dream of going on my (very, very dusty) Xbox or going to parties...'cringe'. Buy more music (Cream, Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane and the rest of Pink Floyd to finish my collection).
To be honest, it feels like summer to me already, next week I have my final exams (Maths, History and Geography) all of which I'm predicted an A* in and then two weeks on Friday, I go to Alton Towers with school (what joy) and on the 3rd July, it's the New Students' Day at the college I'm going to (Hopefully they change English Literature to Further Maths...or else, bunnies will be throw )
(Original post by Monzystar)
I rate ya there mate, it exactly what I am gonna do. for my A levels am doing psychology, English lit, ict and history. Some may think people like us are idiots but hard work always pays off, and regarding a levels, it will pay off in more than one ways!!
Why start early? You want a gold medal?
U can start revision when school starts

Lauren Scott Mallory
PSO Cellist Lauren Scott Mallory grew up in a musical family in Greensboro, N.C., and continued her studies at Indiana University as a pupil of Janos Starker. After graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Music in 1969, Lauren joined the Pittsburgh Symphony. In 1979, she won the title of Associate Principal Cellist, a position she held until 2001. She is now delighted to be back in the section.
Lauren is active in recital and chamber music performances in Pittsburgh and has performed as soloist with the PSO, the New Hampshire and Eastern Music Festivals. In addition to many private cello students, she also teaches at Chatham College.
In 1980, she married PSO cellist Hampton Mallory, who had joined the orchestra two years before. They are the proud parents of two children. Although Lauren has a private pilot's license she no longer flies, preferring instead to spend most of her free time gardening (she is a Master Gardener) and occasionally, sailing, bicycling, reading, and sewing. Lauren plays a cello made for her in 1991 by Peter and Wendela Moes.

WHERE IS DON KING WHEN YOU REALLY need him? A high-stakes, big-name fight between evenly matched opponents is under way, and the fright-haired promoter is nowhere in sight. No, not Holyfield versus Tyson. This one is Barbie versus Miss America. And it isn't pretty.
Miss America is a line of dolls developed by Kenner Products under license from the Miss America Organization. Mattel Inc., which has produced Barbie dolls for 32 years, thinks Miss America's head is too similar to Barbie's copyrighted cranium. Jim Kipling, Miss America's lawyer, counters, "We think our dolls are as different from Barbie as people are from one another."
In March, Mattel complained to the U.S. Customs Service, and shipments of Miss America (who is manufactured in China) were intercepted. "We detained Miss America," says a Customs spokes-woman, "pending a decision on whether she infringed on [Mattel's] copyright."
Actually, Customs blocked the entry of only three of the five Miss America models. Raquel and Justine, who have a different head shape, were allowed in. The others—Devon (a blond dance major), Tonya (a black aspiring veterinarian) and Blair (an Olympic gymnast in training)—are cooling their spiked heels in a government warehouse.
Naturally, the folks at Kenner are miffed. "We believe Mattel did this at a time when it would do us the most harm, after we had already taken orders from our customers and were due to make shipments," says Kipling. "In essence we are being punished for competing with Barbie." (Mattel declined to comment while the case is in litigation.)
Early last month, Customs officials found Devon, Tonya and Blair guilty. "Consequently," says the spokeswoman, "instead of detaining Miss America, we have seized her."
So the first round goes to Barbie. The second round will be in federal court, where Kenner's appeal will be heard soon. Will Barbie, whose worldwide sales reached $740 million last year, keep her undisputed championship? Or will Miss America win her freedom and keep her head? May the best doll win.

Stenciled Wine Box
By: Tiffany Windsor
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Go green this season with upcycled crafts. Make a Stenciled Wine Box from Tiffany Windsor using acrylic paint and stamps and more. Save a wine box and turn it into a cool and crafty package. Bring one along to your next party for a fun hostess gift.
- Wine box
- Acrylic paint – color of your choice
- Aleene's Snow (texture medium)
- Palette knife
- Stencil (The Crafter's Workshop)
- Rub 'n Buff – gold
- Wax paper
- Wet wipe(s)
- Glitter tape
- Alphabet rubber stamps
- Staz-On Black Ink
- You can use any solid surface for this stencil project. I found this wine box at the local thrift store.
- For this stencil how-to, I cut apart a tissue box so that I could show how you can stencil on any design. You don't need a plain surface for this project because you will be painting over the entire surface.
- Lay stencil in place over surface. Pick up texture paste with back of palette knife.
- Smooth texture paste over stencil with palette knife. Add more texture paste as needed. Note on this example that you can barely see the stencil design because I have applied the texture paste in a generous coat.
- Lift stencil to reveal stenciled design. Let texture paste dry completely.
- Be sure to clean all the excess paste from stencil and return excess to container. Use wet wipe or water and paper towel to wipe all paste from stencil.
- When texture paste is completely dry, brush acrylic paint over entire surface. Let dry.
- Dab Rub 'n Buff onto wax paper. Use finger to lighty apply over stenciled design.
- I wanted to add a more decorative touch to the top of my box so I used self adhesive glitter tape. I dry brushed over the tape with my acrylic paint to dull the surface.
- For the last step, I stamped the wording "AROUND THE WORLD" on the side of my box.

To the Editor, Grafton News:
I am writing in support of Timothy Dodd for State Representative in the 9th Worcester District.
From knowing Tim personally, I have been very impressed with his deep knowledge of education policy that stems from his experience as a public schoolteacher. He also sits on the Board of Selectmen in Westborough, where he has been a friend to the taxpayer as well. Because of him, tax bills in Westborough now come with pie charts to show where the money is going, and highlighting any waste.
I am so impressed with his deep knowledge of the issues and his thorough thinking of what needs to be done to help our towns.
Because of this background, Tim will be able to make good on his promise to bring a "fresh perspective" to Beacon Hill. Meanwhile, Tim's opponent has held his seat for 16 years—if there's anything more he's going to do, he's had more than enough time to do it. One of the best things about Tim is that he doesn't believe in being a career politician, and I don't think the voters want one either. Let's make sure we give new ideas a chance, not just try the same old ones over and over. Eight years is enough. That's how we do it for the Governor and President. Please vote for Tim Dodd on November 2.

In particular, it's for drupal.org, where anyone can create content, but managing it is much more challenging!

wonderful sharing … thanks !
wow the food looks amazing
picante means spicy :P http://translate.google.com/#es|en|picante
i recognized it because it looks like french piquante .. and two different foods but both look spicy :P
Wow. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful food during your vacation. I agreed with everyone. The color of the food are so colorful and vibrant. I just love to try local food when I travel to another country. Did you enjoy the trip? :-)
Ko-mo-si-mida oni :-)
Oh all the food looks so delicious! Looks like you got a lot of ideas while you were there and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The colours of Guatamala look so vibrant! Thanks so much for bringing us along on your trip!
Loved the pics and stories! Thanks you so much for sharing your trip!
Wow, those foods are looking so good and colors are so vibrant. I enjoyed looking at these food photos. Thanks for sharing Maangchi! I have a question. How was that mustard color vegetable soup taste like?
The food is so colorful! And it looks so fresh. You're making me so hungry, and I don't even really like Hispanic food! It looks like you ate their black bean paste with every meal. Oh, and you got to try real authentic paella. Goodness, I'm jealous. I'm glad you had such a good time! (And took such lovely pictures of the food!)

Kazuyuki Ohtsu has worked as a woodblock printmaker since the early 1950s. But for many years he was in the shadow of another great woodblock artist. Kazyuki Ohtsu worked as a faithful assistant for Kiyoshi Saito for 40 years until the death of Kiyoshi Saito in 1997. It is now time that the public becomes finally more aware of this great printmaker.
First Publication: June 2009
Latest Update: April 2013
Kazuyuki Ohtsu was born in Isezaki City in Gunma Prefecture in 1935. He began to learn the art of traditional woodblock printmaking in 1954. And although he had several exhibitions of his own while he was still working for Kiyoshi Saito, he did not dare to really come forward until the death of his "master" in 1997. Such behavior is typical for Japanese people to whom the loyalty towards the "master" has been regarded as one of the highest virtues since Japan's medieval ages.
Kazuyuki Ohtsu works in a style that is typical for some of Japan's contemporary woodblock printmakers. Rural landscapes, old farmhouses, traditional Japanese scenes like stone gardens, nature scenes. One can find several artists practicing this style especially in the Kyoto area like for instance Joshua Rome (now back in the United States), Tatsuo Kawashima, Shufu Miyamoto, Masao Ido, Sano Seiji or Yamataka Noboru to name just a few. What these artists have all in common. They show a nostalgic, romantic Japan of the past and they work in woodblock technique.
Here are a few more of Kazuyuki Ohtsu's woodblock prints.

Dennis Sievers/Peoria Rivermen
Peoria Rivermen head coach Jean-Guy Trudel has announced a number of changes to his injury-riddled lineup including the addition of three players and the departure of three more.
Forwards Alexandre Mentink and Tyler Pilmore, as well as goaltender Chris Carrozzi, have each been signed to an SPHL contract with Peoria, while winger-defenseman Nick Metcalfe and rookie netminder Russ Stein have both been released. In addition, center-winger Dustin Parks has been released on his own terms.
The roster shift puts Peoria at 15 skaters and two goaltenders, with an additional two skaters on the injured reserve, including Dean Yakura and Tyler Amburgey.
Amburgey was placed on the inactive list last Thursday with hip flexor issues.
Mentink, 21, signed with the Rivermen over the summer but never made it to Peoria. Instead, the 6'0, 190-pound winger went to ECHL Las Vegas, where he appeared in seven games and recorded two fights before he was released last Thursday.
A native of Joliette, Quebec, Mentink spent each of the last three seasons in the Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League (QJAHL), where he notched 41 goals and 42 assists in 117 career games.
Pilmore, 24, played five games with ECHL Toledo this season and recorded a pair of penalty minutes. Last season, the 6'0, 180-pound rookie appeared in two games for Toledo and an additional six games with ECHL Wheeling, where he made his professional debut on March 16.
Prior to turning pro, the Sylvania, Ohio native spent four years at Ohio University, where he tallied an impressive 66 goals and 161 assists for 227 points over just 161 games.
Carrozzi, 23, is a former sixth round draft pick of the Atlanta Thrashers in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. The fourth-year pro began the season with the Idaho Steelheads (ECHL), where he made one appearance before he was released last Friday.
Last season, the Nepean, Ontario native split time between the St. John's IceCaps (AHL) and the Ontario Reign (ECHL), where he played under former Rivermen head coach Jason Christie. Over 28 games with the Reign, Carrozzi posted a 19-7-2 record with a 2.75 goals against average, .887 save percentage and four shutouts.

Maumee, OHIO, (March 24, 2012) - To meet consumer demand for fiberglass doors in hardwood grains with ¾-glass options, Therma-Tru Corp. has introduced the Fiber-Classic® Mahogany Collection™ 3-Panel Style Door. The door can be ordered as a solid, opaque unit or configured for either ¾-rectangle or ¾-oval lites in 17 different decorative glass options, plus four privacy options, clear Low-E and clear glass.
"The ENERGY STAR® qualified doors are an affordable fiberglass door option featuring rich, premium hardwood graining," says Derek Fielding, senior product manager of doors at Therma-Tru Corp. "Like all Therma-Tru doors, the new Mahogany 3-Panel Doors are constructed for strength, security and performance and will not rot, warp or fade under harsh climate conditions. Solid door styles can also be ordered in fire- and impact-rated versions."
Selection of the new Fiber-Classic Mahogany Collection style for the main entryway of the home provides builders and homeowners with the option of creating a cohesive look throughout the remainder of the house by selecting other Fiber-Classic® Oak Collection™ or Smooth-Star® options for secondary entry areas. This expanded selection provides homeowners with more options for selecting similar three-panel door styles throughout the home that can have different graining options.
"We've matched up the best of two worlds with this new product introduction," says Fielding. "Hardwood grains, like mahogany, continue to hold popularity with homeowners. At the same time, 3-panel doors are some of the top sellers at Therma-Tru, showcasing the homeowners' preference for this simplistic and elegant style. This door definitely embodies the elegance of a rich, premium hardwood grain in a low-maintenance fiberglass door that meets the needs of value-driven consumers."
Therma-Tru offers the company's four new privacy glass options of Chord, Chinchilla, Rainglass and Granite in the doorlites for the 3-panel door, along with 17 decorative glass designs. "Whether a homeowner wishes a simple, clear Low-E glass in the doorlite or a stunning decorative Avonlea™ glass, we have the glass options to accommodate almost any request imaginable," says Fielding. "And, for maximized energy efficiency in the home, when this door is ordered as an opaque, solid unit, the polyurethane foam core offers up to four times the insulation value of most wood doors."
This newest door style joins the Fiber-Classic Mahogany line, which was introduced in 2009. The line features high-definition panel embossments sought by hardwood door lovers in both 6/8 and 8/0 configuration and comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2012, Therma-Tru is known as the company that engineers its products for high performance as an entire entryway system. During its impressive history, Therma-Tru pioneered the fiberglass entryway system in 1982 with key features such as increased energy efficiency and eye-catching curb appeal elements. In 2007, Therma-Tru launched the Tru-Defense® Door System for entry and patio doors, providing builders and remodelers with advanced engineering to help withstand damaging weather and harsh conditions.*

Are Second Children More Easy Going?Lauren Jimeson
Soon after I gave birth to Harlan, I was very aware of how different my life was going to be. All of my attention was focused on Harlan and her needs. If she cried, I'd pick her up right away. My daily schedule revolved around her. It was all about Harlan, all the time.
When Avery was born, I knew that it wasn't going to be as easy as the first time around. I now had two little ones to take care of. My attention couldn't be solely focused on Avery because I still had Harlan to look after. If Avery cried, I'd still run to get her, but it wasn't as quickly as it was before. Mainly because Harlan needed my attention as well. It was never intentional. It was just impossible to be in two places at once.
As the year with both girls has passed, I'm always told how easy going Avery is. She always has a smile on her face and rarely cries. If she doesn't get her way then she fusses a little bit and tries to find a way to try to do it herself. I call it the second child syndrome.
Avery goes with the flow. She appreciates routine, but if we are out of sorts, she just adapts to it. She's never had separation anxiety and will easily welcome anyone who wants to hold her. I always call her my easy baby, because she is really up for anything.
Just last night my sister took her over to her apartment for her very first sleepover. I was so worried that she wasn't going to sleep well because she was in a strange environment and neither my husband or I were there with her. But every single photo that my sister sent me was a happy and smiling baby. Immediately all of my fears and worries were gone.
But I constantly think to myself, can she really be this chill? Although Harlan was never a difficult baby, it definitely took her some time to adapt to new situations. She thrived by her routine and when she needed my attention, she needed it right then and there. She's very much still that way.
I know that every child has their own distinct personality, but I can't help but wonder if these are personality traits of first and second children. As the oldest child in my family, I see many similarities in myself with Harlan. My sister, who is only 13 months younger than me, is very similar to Avery in that she's a go with the flow kind of girl.
For those mamas with two kids, can you relate or is this just the different personalities of my two little girls?

Gender pay gap largest in sales, lowest in farm occupations
January 24, 2000
In 1998, women's weekly earnings were lower than men's for full-time employees across all broad occupational categories. The widest gap was the 40.2 percent found in sales occupations. About one in ten women workers were employed in sales jobs.
[Chart data—TXT]
The narrowest gap—11.4 percent—was found in the farming, forestry, and fishing occupations. About one-half of one percent of women employees were in these job categories.
More than a quarter of women workers were employed in administrative support occupations. The earnings differential in that occupational group was 19.3 percent. Overall, women's median weekly earnings for full-time wage and salary workers were 76.3 percent of the median earnings for men in such employment.
These earnings data are a product of the Current Population Survey. The earnings data here are the median usual weekly earnings of persons who usually work full time. For more information, see "Women's earnings: an overview," by Mary Bowler in the December 1999 issue of Monthly Labor Review.

Yesterday we delivered our final presentation on RUDI to SEWA. Payalben and Reemaben from SEWA were in attendance on the India side of our (somewhat flakey) video conference call, while all four of us (Ben, Laura, Carly, Naman) were on the conference from Seattle. Umaben was in Sri Lanka, so she could not attend the conference call.
In our presentation, we outlined recommendations for the existing districts in which Rudi operates. Some of our recommendataions pertained to Rudi while others pertained to the Castor trade. Many of our recommendations could be applied to both. We also delivered a decision making framework that identifies the key activities that need to occur as Rudi operations expand. Within each phase, we outlined the key challenges facing Rudi and proposed recommendations for how best to tackle these challenges. Finally, we talked about how to create a culture of constant improvement through goal-setting and evaluation.
The presentation was well received, and at Reemaben's request, we will be putting together a summarized list of the major takeaways from the project. Next week we will meet with the Deans of the business school to discuss this pilot "Global Consulting Project" and its future (which I'm sure will be very bright).
Thanks to everyone who played a role in making this project happen!

SAGINAW TOWNSHIP, MI — The search for a missing Saginaw Township man with early-onset dementia will continue in the coming days, though a search team has already combed the area where authorities believe the man is most likely to be found.
The search is continuing for resident Paul Moore, 67, on a "limited basis" and with decreased manpower compared to the last two days, when volunteers from throughout Michigan joined in the search, Saginaw Township Police Department Chief Don Pussehl said.
Moore, who was diagnosed with early onset dementia in 2010, walked away from his home southeast of Bay and McCarty early on Friday, Nov. 23, police said.
He is described as 5-feet, 4-inches and 122 pounds. He has thick, curling brown hair and was last seen wearing a long sleeve blue University of Michigan shirt, blue jeans, a blue windbreaker and dark moccasin-type shoes.
The search will continue in wooded areas in Saginaw Township as the Saginaw County Search and Rescue team and Saginaw Township Police Department continue to work together on the case, Pussehl said.
Police are asking anyone with land near the missing man's home to check in their yards for any signs of Moore.
Anyone with any information that may be linked to the missing man is asked to the Saginaw Police Department at 989-793-2310.
Police will consider all the factors in the case while deciding how to proceed after more searching, Pussehl said, noting it is possible Moore got into a vehicle and may be out of the area.

Rider Switch, FASTPASS
Meander along a tranquil path brimming with towering pine trees and pass a series of age-old cliffs that reveal the fossilized remains of some of California's Ice Age inhabitants. In the distance, a massive muzzle and snout that is the mountain's summit comes into view: Grizzly Peak. Proceed over a rocky bridge flanked by a rushing waterfall and make your way inside a timber structure—the debarkation point for your wild river ride.
Adventure Awaits! Hop inside a circular 8-person raft and drift along a lazy river, passing the rusty remnants of an old mining company. Rumble along a 275-foot-long conveyor belt as you begin your gradual ascent up the mountain, taking in scenic views of the surrounding area. At the top, splash down amid a foaming spring and then brace yourself for a treacherous descent down Grizzly River.
Bob up and down and gently spin almost out of control amid the raging current. Sail through a craggy mountain cavern and weave back and forth inside a howling mine shaft, as waves curl up and over the side of the raft. Forge ahead through a wooden sluice channel built by miners a century ago, and be engulfed by a massive water eruption as you plummet down what seems like a perilous bedrock slope. Ease your way back to base camp, but not before navigating waters overrun with gushing geysers.
Do you have what it takes to brave the mountain?
Show Less
Amid the raging water of the Grizzly River and the howling wind shooting through the rocky caves, the great bear's spirit can reportedly still be heard roaring at those who dare to intrude upon the sacred mountain. Consider yourself warned.

So before we can welcome them into the history of our beloved ball club, let us take the time to exorcize their erstwhile ghosts...
Armando Benitez
Your stats against the Giants aren't too egregious: a 3.21 ERA, a 5-for-5 mark in save opportunities, 3 bombs allowed and 21 struck out in 14 total innings of work. You spent the first half of your career in the A.L., where you occasionally acted like a snake man, throwing at batters after giving up homeruns and then hiding in the dugout during brawls, afraid that enforcers like Paul O'Neill might menace you with their eyes (which might be fair enough...even as a guest on "Seinfeld," that O'Neill guy had some really crazy eyes).
But this depiction is contradictory. You are the size of a bear fighter--6'4'' 230--and second only to Jason Christianson as most likely bullpen pitcher to rip off his shirt and kill a whale in McCovey Cove. In the end, your Baltimore past is of little relevance to us.
We must alleviate only one of your ghosts: the cheeky apparition from the 9th inning of the 2000 NLDS. The baseball gods are cruel and capricious, but they are never forgetful, and when you threw a 90+ fastball at J.T. Snow's knees, it was a divine wind that pushed the ensuing drive thirty feet back into fair territory. You deserved it. Every relief pitcher that throws at batters out of shame and scorn will get his playoff-moment comeuppance--just ask Julian Tavarez.
This might seem to be a moment unnecessary of cleansing. It helped the good guys, after all, not your Mets. But it was your response to the homerun that must be exorcized: a smirk across your face so wide and disdainful, so abashedly contemptuous of your own failure, your team, and the gravity of the situation, you made the list of people I hate more than Atlee Hammaker. This is not an easy list to make.
On the Giants, you must never react that way to a blown save. Ever. You'd think we'd like it, such contempt, but the problem is you don't aim it at the other team...it is an expression that says, "Yeah, I just lost the game, but I never really wanted to win in the first place, so it doesn't hurt...King Kong ain't got nothin' on me!"
Not that we expect too many blowups. A 90-mph splitter tends to keep fly balls and the windy whims of baseball deities from turning spiteful. Let that moment of smirking be forever in the past, a ghost we will recognize instead in the expression of Milton Bradley when he hears our insults showering down from the right-field promenade.
Mike Matheny
Before you take the field as a Giant, we must exorcize your presence in the 2002 NLCS. Unlike the Benitez incident, this series proved fortuitous for San Francisco...that is, if the proverbial glass is half full. Yes, the Giants defeated your Cardinals and went on to the final dance. But the fact is, we can never again speak the names Troy Glaus and Scott Spiezio (and Felix Rodriguez) without spitting into the dust; we only experienced such pain because we first defeated your Cardinals...doom is as intricate as it is cruel.
You played well in the Championship Series, going 6 for 19 and hitting a homerun in Game Three. And you were at the heart of the Game One throwdown over Kenny Lofton's homerun gazing, the speculation being that you'd called the retaliatory brushback. I liked it. I liked it a lot, especially when you drew K-Lo's rage away from the pitcher by jawing: "I called that pitch. Yeah. That's right. What. What are you gonna do? Double-team me with Shawon Dunston? Ha! He's on our side! Look, him and Tony LaRussa are plotting the best way to get Willie McGee in the Hall of Fame as we speak!"
Anything tied to the 2002 heartbreak is dangerous, especially if it's the old ghost of a catcher who now arrives with a .239 career average. Though you sure had stepped it up against the Giants in the past, hitting .307 in 114 at-bats, knocking in a strangely significant 16 runs...
All of these stats must be cleaned. May you enjoy a fresh start here, gunning down the Cesar Izturises of the league, reminding the fragile Brett Tomko that even though others may chide him, he is not a fish, but a man--a man!--and agreeing with opponents that, yes, Noah Lowry is in fact the Angel of Death, and they are about to become his latest harvest. Now that's veteran catching!
Moises Alou
I will put it on the table; Brian Sabean went out and got Moises simply so we wouldn't have to play against him ever again. Ever.
Just last year, in only six games, Moises hit three bombs. One of them in the bottom of the tenth, at Wrigley, when I was watching from Las Vegas in the smoky sportsbook of the Rio; as soon as Jim Brower released his flat slider, I knew I'd be losing one hundred dollars and any desire I had to ever bet against the Cubs again when an Alou is on the line. I do not need to remind you, mathematical Giants fans, that we finished a mere game away from the playoffs...
It's fair to say that you, Moises, were a Giants Killer: a lifetime .316 hitter against us with 24 bombs in 342 at-bats. Even though some of that might have been in the forgetful mid-90's, it nevertheless feels as if every time you faced F-Rod or John Johnstone with two outs in the eighth, you won the game. Even your first-inning homeruns, like against Damian Moss in '03, ended up beating us. And in the '97 Division Series, you were there, playing for loathsome Florida, going 2 for 5 in the third game with a double, watching as the grand-slamming Devon White also made The List.
Now you can make amends. Surprise us with competent outfield play. Hook opposite field homeruns around the foul poll. And whenever the Astros, Cubs, Marlins, or former-Expos roll into town, unleash upon them the merciless favor you once showed us.
Never underestimate power of ghosts. Although the spirit world of baseball is personal, its animate nature dictated by the extent of individual memory, we all collectively remember those moments of tantalizing failure, especially in this recent era of winning Giants teams.
Let these players now coming to us, who were present during some of the great hardships, leave behind their previous actions. Let them succeed in breaking our fifty years of drought so that a championship can finally grace the city by the bay.
I hope this exorcism works, or next year I'm going to have to step up my mysticism, probably with some combination of snakes and bobbleheads...man we really need to win a World Series.

Album Review
Carole King's influence as a songwriter and as a monolithic force in the history of American pop music is far-reaching and inarguable. In the minds of many, King's story begins with Tapestry, her 1971 solo breakthrough album that went on to sell over 25 million copies worldwide and spawned a stream of FM radio classics for generations to come. What some people don't know about is her tireless work as a songwriter leading up to her own incredible solo work, penning songs that would become huge hits for everyone from the Monkees to James Taylor to the Turtles. The Legendary Demos gathers together for the first time ever the working demonstrational tapes King made of her compositions, the same tapes that these bands would reference when learning and recording their versions of the songs, as well as personal rough drafts of songs that would later appear on Tapestry. Recorded hastily and stored for decades on tiny plastic reels, there's a rawness and urgency to these recordings. Often put to tape in the course of an afternoon, directly after conception with the help of various session musicians, these demos are crackling with a triumphant sense of carefree spontaneity. The intimacy of these tracks is what makes them truly special. Tracks from the Tapestry era like "It's Too Late," "Beautiful," and "You've Got a Friend" capture all the breezy lushness of their studio versions with more Spartan arrangements of piano and vocals way up front. Their softly powerful delivery gives the feeling of an incredibly gifted friend casually practicing in the next room. Earlier demos cut when King was in her teens working as a staff songwriter at Brill Building contemporary Aldon Music give up a haunting rendition of "Crying in the Rain," a spare and focused "Take Good Care of My Baby," and a downright majestic piano and vocal version of "Just Once in My Life," all huge hits for the Everly Brothers, Bobby Vee, and the Righteous Brothers, respectively. The songs are already familiar staples, but King's lilting, almost instinctively brilliant performances shed light on the true spirit of her songs. Her soulful vocals on "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" resound with more verve and yearning than her later Tapestry version and arguably more immediacy and reaching than even Aretha Franklin's legendary version. The Legendary Demos is a fantastic example of a collection of unreleased material that really works rather than some lackluster hodgepodge of archived filler. Even the occasionally marred or crunchy fidelity of some of these songs doesn't detract from their potency. If anything, it adds to the fly-on-the-wall feeling of listening in on a true genius at different phases of her genre-shaping development.

"Brooke is in the hospital ICU related to the surgery for her impacted wisdom tooth," her lawyer Yale Galanter tells PEOPLE. "They are trying to get the infection and fever under control. The infection has spread."
Mueller, 32, and husband Charlie Sheen, 44, are due to attend a hearing in the Aspen court, where she is seeking to modify the protective order put into place after Sheen's domestic-violence arrest on Christmas day.
Sheen, whose interaction with Mueller is limited by the constraints of the protective order, was nonetheless seen visiting Mueller in the ICU, reports TMZ.com.
"Mueller wants to be able to communicate with her husband and hopes they can go back together as a family with their 9-month-old twins, Bob and Max," Galanter tells PEOPLE.
The hearing has been postponed several times due to the judge's schedule and now Mueller's illness.

The United States is currently experiencing the worst influenza epidemic in a decade. Places like Boston and New York have declared influenza emergencies. Experts tell us this is a "bad" flu season. Actually it isn't, and things could be a lot worse. The dirty little secret is that the United States isn't even close to being prepared for a serious influenza epidemic, and we can and should be doing more right now to prepare.
After 9/11, the U.S. government got serious for a while about public health preparedness. I was part of a group of researchers around the country who were funded to study how all levels of government (local, state and federal) should work together to prepare for all types of public health emergencies but, especially, bioterrorism and pandemic influenza. We made significant progress. We worked with local and state governments to develop pandemic influenza plans. We piloted tests to evaluate the preparedness of health departments to respond to emergencies 24/7. We crafted plans to help different sectors of government like public health, emergency management and law enforcement work together. We developed strategies for improving, managing and deploying the strategic national stockpile for vaccines and antiviral medications.
Then the recession occurred and most of this progress came to a screeching halt. Policymakers focused on fiscal austerity decided that public health preparedness wasn't a serious enough threat to warrant continued funding. Grants to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to fund research on bioterrorism and epidemics were cut. State and local health departments were left holding the bag with staff that they could no longer pay for and initiatives that were no longer funded. Preparation for pandemic influenza and novel infectious disease outbreaks were put on the back burner as low-probability events.
The result is that the United States is simply not prepared to respond to a deadly influenza pandemic. Imagine a flu season like the one we are having where the fatality rate is much higher and where no vaccine is available. What would we do? Movies like "Contagion" highlight just how grim the situation could become, and they are based in part on plausible scenarios.
We have a group of policymakers that can't even balance the federal budget. How would we expect them to perform in an emergency situation where hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people are dying? We should all be grateful that so far we haven't had to face another influenza pandemic like the one in 1918 where more than 50 million people worldwide died. Just because we haven't faced this scenario recently doesn't mean it can't occur. In every century in recorded history, there has been at least one major pandemic that has resulted in a significant loss of human life, and many of those pandemics have involved influenza.
It is clear that our existing infection-control efforts and vaccine campaigns are unable to significantly slow the spread of the influenza. We shouldn't wait for the movie "Contagion" to play out in real life before we decide to get serious about preparing to respond to novel infectious disease epidemics. Influenza has always represented a serious threat to public health. We need to be ready to respond not only to a "bad" influenza season but also to a catastrophic one. That requires bipartisan support for sustained investment in local, state and federal public health preparedness that is viewed as a priority even in tough economic times.

Did you know you'll probably spend upwards of $20,000 on your pet during his lifetime?
This may be hard to believe, but it's true.
Paws on this for a moment: A young puppy at a local shelter may cost just $100, but you could end up shelling out the equivalent of a down payment on a house if he lives up to 12 years. Surprised?
You know caring for your pet throughout his lifetime can be expensive—which is a good reason to enroll him with a Nationwide pet insurance policy while he's young. A Nationwide pet insurance policy can save you a hefty chunk of change each year through reimbursements for eligible veterinary expenses such as illnesses, accidents and preventive care. You love your pet; wanting to provide him the best care comes naturally—with a Nationwide pet insurance policy it becomes easy.
Let's break it down for you: the average annual cost for owning a dog is $2,084, while cat owners pay an average of $1,318. Expenses include veterinary care, boarding, grooming, food and treats, toys, training, collars and leashes.* Would you have guessed that veterinary care is more than half of those expenses? And that doesn't even include over-the-counter medications and other supplies!
The average annual cost for owning a dog is $2,084, while cat owners pay an average of $1,318.
You can manage the cost of your pet's veterinary care with a Nationwide pet insurance policy. Even better: our policies don't have a lifetime cap!
Our policies come with a complete benefit schedule listing the reimbursement allowances available to you during your policy's one-year term. Allowances are categorized and itemized by diagnosis (e.g., Fractures) and treatment (e.g., Splint). The full reimbursement allowance is available every time your pet suffers a new, unrelated injury, less your per-incident or annual deductible, depending on which plan you select.
All you have to do is pay your veterinarian at the time of service, fill out a simple, one-page Nationwide pet insurance claim form with your pet's diagnosis and treatment, then fax or send the claim form to Nationwide pet insurance for processing. A check for eligible expenses will then be sent to your home.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Well folks, we can't go up every day! The broad-based S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) took it on the chin today, weighed down by a weak industrial production report, and purportedly weak retail sales figures from Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) .
Industrial production dipped by 0.1% in the month of January following a 0.4% increase in Dec. 2012. Economists had been expecting industrial production to rise by 0.2%, but a 0.4% drop in manufacturing output, and a 1% drop in mining production, stymied those hopes.
On the retail front, a report from Bloomberg notes that a mid-level executive's email at Wal-Mart commented that sales in February are off to the worst start of any month in the past seven years. Wal-Mart's management team blamed the poor performance on higher payroll taxes and delayed tax returns, which reduced spending in its stores.
All told, the reports above helped push the S&P 500 down by 1.59 points (-0.10%), to close at 1,519.79. Although the mood was noticeably somber, there were still plenty of outperformers within the index today. Here's a glimpse at today's three best stocks.
As has been the trend all week, obscure companies that don't often find their way into the spotlight led the charge. Today, packaging and container supplier MeadWestvaco (NYSE: WRK ) jumped 12.5%, following the announcement that Trian Fund Management, run by activist investor Nelson Peltz, had purchased 1.6 million shares of MeadWestvaco's stock, or about a 1% stake. Peltz's Trian Fund took a 7.3% stake in Ingersoll-Rand last year, which resulted in a board seat and an eventual spinoff of Ingersoll-Rand's security technology business. Shareholders of MeadWestvaco have to be excited that Peltz and his fund may wind up offering similar strategic alternatives to MeadWestvaco.
Shares of Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST ) made a monster move higher, gaining 7.1%, after rumors resurfaced that it could be the target of a takeover. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, comments offered by various online investing sites appear to be buoying today's share price jump. Although the growth prospects of the energy market are incredibly appealing, an acquirer would have to cope with the possibility of industry-wide regulation of energy drinks if they were to purchase Monster Beverage. I'm not one to buy into rumors, and would simply prefer to stay on the sidelines at the moment.
Finally, big-box retailer Best Buy (NYSE: BBY ) hit a four-month high, advancing 7.4%, just two days after word hit the Street that co-founder Richard Schulze may forgo his buyout bid for the company for a smaller minority stake with other investors instead. While that might seem like bad news, some of the recently enacted initiatives at Best Buy, including higher promotion of mobile devices and direct-to-consumer sales, as well as price-matching, may finally be paying off. Holiday traffic on its website ranked among the highest tallies in the retail sector, and prudent spending should keep the company profitable on the bottom line. Personally, I wouldn't write off Best Buy just yet.
Is this a Monster opportunity or a value trap?
The stakes are high for Monster Beverage these days. The stock had been nothing short of a rocket, but recent developments have sent shares spiraling downward. Health scares sparked a number of investigations at the state and federal level into the energy drink's role in several fatalities. With the company's value slashed in half, investors are wondering whether Monster Beverage is a value or a bust in the fast-growing energy drink category.

Reggie Bush scored on a 3-yard run with 3:45 remaining in the second quarter to give the Saints a 7-3 lead as rookie Taylor Mehlhaff got his first points in the NFL by hitting the extra point.
The Saints put together a fantastic 18-play drive that consumed 10:59 of the second quarter, mixing short passes and runs by Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush.
A time out was mercifully called with 5:03 remaining in the quarter, and the Raiders' defensive linemen were down on a knee at the 6-yard line, looking exhausted.
Before that drive, the game was taking a similar tone to the Monday Night Football game against the Vikings, where mistakes seem to be dooming the Saints and giving the Raiders confidence.
Blown coverages and not much in the way of a pass rush has allowed Oakland quarterback JaMarcus Russell to find open receivers and a good running attack from Justin Fargas has kept the Saints off balance.
Quick note:
One oddity in this game is how the Raiders center, Jake Grove, bounces up and down before he snaps the ball when the team is in the shotgun. Saints coach Sean Payton was pointing it out to the referees at the end of the first quarter. We'll see if it makes a different later on.

Hospital Worker to Testify at Congressional Hearing Regarding SEIU Card Check Coercion
Worker advocate says National Labor Relations Board has failed to protect workers who wish to refrain from union affiliation
Washington, DC (June 26, 2013) – An Orange County, California hospital worker and her National Right to Work Foundation staff attorney will testify today before a U.S. House subcommittee about the need for workers to be able to choose free from coercion whether they want a union hierarchy in their workplace.
Marlene Felter, a Chapman Medical Center worker who led an effort to stave off unwanted Service Employees International Union (SEIU) boss "representation" from her workplace, and attorney Glenn Taubman, who has over 30 years of experience on the Foundation's legal staff, will testify before the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce's Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions at 10:00 AM.
Felter will highlight the need for the Secret Ballot Protection Act, sponsored by Congressman David Roe (R-Tenn.), while testifying about her personal experiences dealing with a coercive SEIU card check unionization campaign.
Felter and her coworkers were a target of an SEIU card check unionization scheme after SEIU Healthcare Workers West and Chapman Medical Center officials entered into a backroom deal known as a "neutrality agreement" designed to grease the skids for workers to be forced into union ranks. In the agreement, management granted union operatives access to company facilities and waived the right to have a federally-supervised secret ballot election to determine whether workers wished to be unionized.
Union organizers frequently use card-check organizing tactics to bribe, browbeat, or cajole workers into forced-union-dues payments against their will.
The Secret Ballot Protection Act guarantees workers a secret ballot vote in union elections. The subcommittee will also hear testimony regarding the Representation Fairness Restoration Act, which would invalidate the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)'s policy of allowing union militants to target and organize small units of workers if they know most employees at a workplace don't want to join the union.
"Time and again, Barack Obama's NLRB has failed to protect workers who wish to refrain from union affiliation and forced dues payments," said Mark Mix, President of National Right to Work. "Congress needs to reign in Obama's out-of-control NLRB."

Debug By Describing
When trying to find a non-trivial bug, write down a description of the bug as if you're trying to help somebody else find it. Do this in a text file, and paste in test cases that do or don't demonstrate it, backtraces, hypotheses proved disproved and unknown, and other information.
This is perhaps a variation on
. Keeping a notebook can interfere with the
, so I'm not sure it's a good idea to do it all the time.
Many people have observed that just by starting to explain a bug to some other person they put their thoughts in order and find the bug with no need for any suggestions. Some people say this works well enough if the audience of the explanation is a co-worker or family member who doesn't even understand the problem but who is a patient listener. If there's no human available, then keeping a written description can be a good substitute.
allows continuous description as the two people work through the bug. Documenting untried but interesting hypothesis is like having
s in code.
If all else fails, once you've written a cogent description of the bug you can send it to somebody else for their ideas. Having things written down also nicely supports the SleepOnIt
solution: when you have a new idea in the morning, you can check whether you've already tried it or not.
I'm one of those people who often finds bugs just by describing the code to a co-worker, and it's true that the co-worker's understanding is not crucial to the process. I've never tried it with a non-programmer, but I've long surmised that that would work just as well. It never occurred to me to try writing a description, but I imagine that would work pretty well to. I think the major thing is that when you launch in to an explanation to another person, you feel obligated to describe assumptions that you take for granted when trying to just think through the problem. Another advantage might simply be that you shift your brain out of problem solving mode into a completely different mode: Your conscious effort is focused on explaining what you know, not figuring things out, and maybe this allows your sub-conscious to take a whack at solving the problem.
The book PracticeOfProgramming
by Kernighan/Pike claims that a university forced students to explain their problem to a Teddybear before bothering support staff/instructors. :-) Like you said, the listener's understanding doesn't always seem to be relevant.
-- GunnarAnderson
Modern idea:
Tell it to the Furby.
It's at least as smart as any of us. ;-> --
The responses are probably better, too... (-:
If Furbies are beneath your dignity, try a
I work alone, but I talk to myself a lot. It has a similar effect. It may be better, because I talk quicker than I write and I
have techie knowledge and can detect when I'm trying to fudge an issue perhaps better than other people could. --
So, Dave ... which one of you wrote this?
The other one. --
I've heard Ward describe this activity/state as

This technique seems to work especially well when I'm writing up a bug report or preparing to send a note to a support forum or mailing list. As I further describe the problem in the best way to approach the list/forum members, I often suddenly find that I also understand the answer.

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), Equal Protection and State Authority – Gill v. Office of Personnel Management and Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. United States Dept. of Health and Human Services
Mel Cousins
Trinity College (Dublin) - School of Social Work and Social Policy
December 1, 2010
The issue of the recognition of same-sex marriages and the constitutionality of a refusal to recognize such marriages has received considerable attention in the US state courts in the last decade. A number of state courts have ruled that state constitutions require the recognition of same-sex marriages. However, relatively few cases had reached the federal courts and in almost all these cases the restrictions had been upheld. However, two recent challenges to a ban on same-sex marriages in California (Proposition 8) and restrictions of the rights of same-sex couples under federal law (DOMA) have now been successful before federal district courts.
This note examines the recent linked decisions of the Massachusetts district court in relation to the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The cases involved two separate challenges to DOMA. The first (Gill), from a number of same sex couples married in Massachusetts and survivors of such marriages, argued that due to the operation of Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, the plaintiffs were denied certain federal marriage-based benefits that are available to similarly-situated heterosexual couples, in violation of the equal protection guarantee of the Fifth Amendment. In the second (Massachusetts), the State argued that DOMA was in breach of the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution, by intruding on areas of exclusive state authority, and was not – as the federal government argued - grounded in the Spending Clause. The district court upheld both claims and the case is currently under appeal.
