Sanchez singles and LaRoche walks on 4 pitches. 1st and 2nd with no outs.
Sanchez singles and LaRoche walks on 4 pitches. 1st and 2nd with no outs.
Reds need to hold them this inning.
Have someone like Bray replace Gosling on the 25 man roster.
Now Stanton is coming in.
Stanton comes in and walks Bay. Bases loaded with no outs.
Stanton should just get it over with and give up a grandslam.
In 2/3 of an inning the bullpen has now given up 4 runs on 4 hits and walked 3.
I'm sure a lot of others had the same feeling as me when I saw Coffey running in from the bullpen -- his fat bouncing up and down -- ... "OH NO."
Well, we have witnessed Mackanin's first terrible decision. No reason to take Livingston out in that situation -- especially not for Todd Coffey. Coffey chokes when the Reds have the lead -- it's well documented. Right Cowboy? Ha. And of course it was on something soft as usual. An 0-2 curve ball no less. What a joke. And I wasn't even a bit surprised.
Then Gosling is in there and I'm like "Now we have a poor man's Bobby Livingston out there." Just brilliant. I know Livingston was pitching on short rest, but that was awful. Just let him finish out the 6th. Some managers get way too caught up in pitch counts and BS such as that. Just manage the game and don't out-think yourself.
By the way, what's the latest on Harang? Is he pitching tomorrow? I'm sure it's been discussed, but TIA for any info.
Bautista pops out to short for the first out of the inning.
How you like them DP-lane apples?
6-4-3 DP ends the inning. 6-5 Pirates after 7.

U.S. Libor Probe Includes BofA, Citi, UBS
As U.S. regulators home in on at least three banks in a probe of manipulation of a key benchmark rate, investigators face challenges proving wrongdoing because banks report and obtain borrowing costs in an opaque process that leaves a scant evidence trail, according to people familiar with the situation.
Even if the case does identify manipulation, it could present regulators with the larger challenge of either preventing further abuses of the London interbank offered rate, which currently is tied to $10 trillion in loans and $350 trillion in interest-rate derivatives, or finding an alternative.
Regulators are focusing on Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc. and UBS AG, which are part of a group of 16 banks that reported dollar borrowing costs used to calculate Libor, between 2006 and 2008—a period that has drawn the focus of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department. The dollar Libor panel was expanded to 20 banks in February.
Investigators are examining whether some banks deliberately tried to skew Libor by deliberately submitting inaccurate data, according to government and industry officials. Authorities are examining whether banks whose funding costs were rising as the financial crisis intensified tried to mask that trend by submitting artificially low readings of their daily borrowing costs, the people said.
But making a case may be difficult because the Libor process doesn't take place over an exchange and is cloaked in secrecy. Internal bank emails may prove to be key evidence in the probe because of the difficulty in proving that banks reported borrowing costs for Libor at one rate and obtained funding at another.
For example, banks report borrowing costs used to calculate Libor every day around 11 a.m. According to one person familiar with the banks, a junior-level person in a bank treasury department typically reports borrowing-cost figures received from elsewhere in the bank, but may not have any idea of what his employer's actual funding costs are. The individual bank quotes are publicly available.
- Banks Probed in Libor Manipulation Case 3/16/11
- Bankers Cast Doubt on Key Rate 4/16/08
- Study Casts Doubt on Key Rate 5/29/08
From 2006 through 2008, as the crisis worsened, banks that did seek funds often did so by telephone, leaving a limited electronic trail of borrowing costs.
Several academics and market experts analyzed how Libor is calculated after The Wall Street Journal in 2008 identified questionable Libor quotes submitted by banks. In February, a group—led by Rosa Abrantes-Metz of New York University's Stern School of Business and Oakland, Calif., economic firm AFE Consulting, and co-authors Albert Metz, Gim Seow and Michael Kraten—identified questionable patterns but not hard evidence.
"We find some anomalous individual quotes, but the evidence is inconsistent with a material manipulation of the U.S. one month Libor rate," the group said.
Both the Journal and Ms. Abrantes-Metz's analysis relied on the use of prices for credit-default insurance to analyze whether banks submitted accurate Libor quotes. The report said that a potentially more reliable way for investigators to identify whether actual bank funding costs matched Libor quotes would be to compare the quotes and rates on short-term bank IOUs known as commercial paper. But those short-term debt costs aren't publicly available.
The SEC has sent subpoenas to several banks, including Bank of America, Citigroup and UBS, said people familiar with the probe. The agency also has summoned officials from those three banks to testify to investigators as part of the probe. It isn't clear how many other banks have received subpoenas or been asked to testify.
It also isn't clear whether the investigation will result in either civil or criminal charges against any banks. UBS disclosed the probe in its annual report earlier this week and acknowledged it had received subpoenas
Libor is increasingly viewed as a relic in many parts of the financial community. Despite its role as a proxy for stress in the banking system, Libor is comprised of data that many bankers say is largely irrelevant, since institutions no longer rely heavily on super-short-term funding from other banks. Critics also say Libor is flawed because it is easy for banks to report inaccurate data, but the British Bankers' Association, which oversees Libor, has defended its integrity.
Libor retains a significant role because of the fact that trillions of dollars of loans and derivatives are pegged to it. Changing to a market rate that is less opaque would be akin to "turning around an ocean liner of enormous proportions," said Darrell Duffie, a Stanford University finance professor, who suggested one possible change would be to switch to a market rate called overnight indexed swaps, which tracks the expected path of the Federal Reserve's federal-funds rate. Mr. Duffie added it likely would be "treacherous to renegotiate legacy contracts on a new standard."

Historical Traveler Reviews Renaissance Tampa Hotel International Plaza
Great hotel
Just returned from a three night stay at this hotel. It's a new property and very elegant. There is an inner courtyard for relaxing or enjoying a drink. The rooms were nicely furnished, clean and comfortable. The breakfast served in the restaurant was delicious, though a bit pricey. The lounge served reasonably priced drinks and light fare. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient to the airport and is attached to a mall with numerous restaurants. Would definately recommend this hotel and would stay here again if I was in the Tampa area.
Great Hotel!
The Renaissance Hotel is a great hotel to stay at in Tampa...close to the airport, next door to a really nice shopping mall and restaurant area. This is a new hotel, with nicely decorated rooms in a colorful whimsical style and very comfortable. Nice fitness center that faces the pool. Even though this hotel is a mile from the airport, you never hear the airplanes.
Stylish, Friendly and Unpretentious - A Perfect Combo
My wife and I just returned from a wonderful trip Dec 21-24. Booked this hotel on PL based on the positive reviews on this and other sites. Got it for $65 per night and this was easily the best hotel value I have ever experienced. The hotel has lots of design touches that distinguish itself from every other chain hotel in the industry. The design is inspired by a Spanish mansion, so there are lots of bright colors everywhere and lots of cool furniture. Everyone on the staff was friendly and courteous - several of them asked us how we were enjoying our stay and if there was anything they could do for us - very nice touch. We were actually surprised at how down-to-earth the staff was for such a nice hotel - no snobbishness. The rooms were average size, but were very nicely decorated. The fitness center was just okay - 3 treadmills, a couple of eliptical trainers and an awefully complicated all-in-one weight contraption (that thing is really a piece of garbage). On the plus side, the large outdoor pool is heated and they have a nice hot-tub spa. Some would find it cheesy, but we really enjoyed the fact that the hotel is connected to the Tampa International Mall. Don't worry, you won't have shoppers trouncing through the lobby. The hotel has it's own keyed entrance to the mall and we found this to be a tremendous convenience. There were several nice restaurants, lots of high-end stores and a fabulous outdoor promenade that seemed like it's own little town. We felt that this really added to the hotel and should be listed as one of their best amenities. If you are with a bunch of friends, it's really fun to hang out but the fountain in the courtyard on a nice night. Another plus - the hotel is literally 5 minutes from the airport but we never heard one airplane the entire time were were there. Tampa is so easy to get around that you are about 5 minutes to any of the main highways/arteries in the city. You should also know that this hotel does not have it's own parking lot. It shares its parking with the rest of the mall, so you basically have to park in front of Neiman Marcus and then walk to the hotel. This is not as inconvenient as it sounds, especially at night when all the shoppers go home, leaving the entire lot for hotel guests. Still, I really think the hotel should look into having it's own self parking. All in all, I would definitely recommend this hotel and would gladly stay there again the next time I'm in Tampa.
A Renaissance experience
Not a cookie-cutter hotel. Somewhat unique. Attractive rooms. Lobby and common areas a bit cold in feel. Housekeeping imperfect. Poor in-house reservations staff. Good front desk staff. Poor restaurant staff. Bargains were not to be had the first week of December. IF you can get this hotel at the low rates others have mentioned, it would be a steal. At virtual rack rate, it doesn't meet expectations.
A great bargain and a great room
I got one night here for $68+fees at Priceline. A total steal. Large and clean room with a great work area. The restaurants were closed (very late arrival) but they pointed me to the mall which still had some stuff open.
I was sorry to be there for such a brief stay. I will say, I was not sightseeing so things like view were irrelevant.
Great new hotel
The Renaissance is a beautiful, new hotel centrally located in downtwon Tampa. We just stayed one night but really enjoyed it. Breakfast the next morning was delicious and the club level representative was terrific. The front desk staff was the only weak link. They need additional training and a bit more congeniality. We plan to return to this hotel.
A Great stay (under less-than-great circumstances)
Trapped in Tampa by the 4th hurricane of our Florida season (thus far), we felt distincty fortunate to be at the Renaissance. The atmosphere was one of a terrific high-end summer camp; kids EVERYWHERE, adults lounging in the lobby playing cards, and terrific food at their multi-star restaurant on the premises. Snacks freely available; good communication from the staff and a very relaxed atmosphere, despite what was happening outside.
Perhaps the fine staff learned from previous errors. The hotel is new and extremely well-appointed. The rooms are a good size; not excessively large but not cramped either. Decor is a funky Florida mix of faux-Mediterranean swirled with Mid-century American Modern. Surprisingly pleasant, and very well thought-out. No cookie-cutter airport hotel feel here! Given that once at the Mall, there's little reason to go elsewhere in Tampa, the Renaissance does a terrific job of making itself invaluable to your stay. Places to 'hang out' in the lobby, around the atrium or in the bar or restaurant make this resort-like. We'll be back again and again!
(hint to parents of kids at any of the colleges in the area -- stay here! Your kids will thank you even if your wallet doesn't!)
A Steal at $79 a night!
The Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel deserves an A+ rating. The hotel is brand new and beautiful. The hotel is connected to the International Mall, which is convenient to say the least. There are lots of restaurants and a bar or two located in a little area in between the hotel and the mall entrance.
Rooms: The room was very nice. Everything was very clean. The bathrooms are gorgeous and don't feel anything like a hotel bathroom. It is more like a bathroom you would see in a big fancy house. The room had plenty of space and the beds were comfortable. We were in room 528, which was nice b/c it overlooked a big courtyard with a fountain where they hold events.
Concierge: The directions which were given to us by the concierge were not very helpful when we were trying to locate a grocery store. Other than that, we also had a minor miscommunication problem when trying to order a taxi to pick us up. I think next time, we would just arrange for the taxi by ourselves.
Common Areas: The lobby, restrooms, halls and everything else were gorgeous. They even had a pretty stand set up with free gourmet olives to try. The furniture and decorations are all very pretty and clean.
Definately a steal at $79 a night, plus tax. Well worth it, would definately stay again.
Only one gripe: The hotel is NOT as close to Ybor city as they would have you believe on the website. It is somewhat far and a pretty hefty cab fare. I think it took us about 20 minutes, maybe more, and about $35 to just get there.
Shocking-Hurricane Arrest
My immediate family our close friends had the distinct pleasure of staying at the Renaissance International Plaza on Saturday, September 4, 2004 for two (2) nights (9 in total-3 rooms). We had been looking forward to this stay since it was originally booked in June 2004 (prior to grand opening). Although we learned of the impending storms accompanying Hurricane Frances days before our check-in, we decided to move forward with our original plans.
The day of checkout the winds were roaring, as storm left via Tampa, I was, however astonished when the day we were originally due to check out (MO Sept. 6, 2004), I called the front desk to ask for an extended check-out, beyond the customary 12 pm, to 1-2 pm (until winds subsided). I was then informed that the hotel was not granting extensions but "half-day" rates. Upon questioning this further, I was transferred to "Jeff" who explained the "half-day" rate was 50% off of a day's rate and extended checkout until 3 or 4pm. Shocking-By then I was very confused since I had previously extended our-check out to Tuesday, September 7, in the event that the storm prohibited us from leaving. Therefore, our room was blocked until Tuesday, should we need it, so no guest was arriving to occupy it. It was then that I made the determination that this "half-day rate hassle" was reason enough for us to checkout, so we left the premises ASAP.
As a Marriott Rewards member, I expect a little higher level of service, particularly when I am away from home under the stresses of tropical force winds. Hospitality should have been extended to the guest of the hotel, not "half-day"
rates. I wrote the GM a letter, and I have NOT heard back... Nontheless, as it is convenient to shopping, I will add that we have made plans to visit the hotel again in NOV, and hope that this shoppin visit will be pleasurable.
Luxury in the mall
If you are you looking for a new, luxury, friendly, service oriented hotel with no self-parking, located in a shopping mall with views of parking lots and freeways, then you've hit the jackpot. My mid-day walk-in rate was $179. I left the next day and checked into the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay at $139 with a spectacular view of the bay. It was luxurious, friendly and service oriented, and free self-parking steps away in a covered garage. It's a total no brainer.

Crystal Palace added some experience to their back line by reaching an agreement with Brede Hangeland. He joins the club on a free transfer after getting let go by Fulham in June.
The Eagles confirmed the signing on their official Twitter feed:
#CPFC are delighted to confirm the signing of central defender Brede Hangeland on a free transfer pic.twitter.com/PvZXdnHzHP— Crystal Palace FC (@CPFC) August 1, 2014
Hangeland was a stalwart defender for Fulham after joining the side during the 2007-08 winter window. He spent the next six-and-a-half seasons with the Cottagers, appearing in more than 150 matches across all competitions.
Do you like the Hangeland signing for Palace?
A frustrating campaign caused Fulham to get relegated after last season. With that comes changes to the squad, and the veteran defender was part of that overhaul.
Now, the centre-back joins a Palace side that finished in the middle of the pack last season. The club would love to take another step forward despite what amounts to an unheralded squad.
It's a hard-working group, though. Squawka Football passed along comments from Hangeland after the move was announced, and it sounds like he's going to fit right in:
"I'm quite old school as a player, I just want to be part of a good group of players, working for a good manager." - Brede Hangeland— Squawka Football (@Squawka) August 1, 2014
At the very least, the signing gives manager Tony Pulis some options at the back. Hangeland could step into a full-time role or simply be part of a rotation playing alongside Scott Dann in the centre of defense. A clearer picture should emerge once he gets more involved at training.
Either way, Ed Malyon of the Daily Mirror believes it's a good fit:
I reckon Hangeland will be a good signing in a deep-lying Pulis defence. CL clubs wanted him 12-18 months ago, now we've got him for free.— Ed Malyon (@eaamalyon) August 1, 2014
Hangeland probably won't display the form he did during his peak seasons with Fulham. That said, at 33, he should still have some solid football ahead of him, and the fact Palace were able to secure him on a free transfer limits the risk.
Furthermore, it's an addition that makes it clear the Eagles will be a very tough side to play against once again. The veteran adds to the team's size and depth on defense after finishing seventh in goals allowed last season.

Finders Keepers! @Gamemasterscmx @Hiddencash Starts in San Francisco!
Gamemasters is ready to play a good 'ol game of Finders Keepers. Look for @hiddencash on @gamemasterscmx
Anyone in the San Francisco area will have an equal chance to snare a hundred bucks by following the @gamematerscmx Twitter (https://twitter.com/
Tonight's drop will the be the first of two in San Francisco; followed by a $100 drop in Las Vegas while Gamemasters makes its debut at the International Licensing Expo (http://www.licensingexpo.com/)
"We've got a leg up on the big ad agencies and corporate conglomerates, who are simply throwing their money around," Michael Dismuke, creator of Gamemasters, said. "Gamemasters prefers to use the hidden cash craze in a spinoff of our comic property, Roshambo. While the heroes of Roshambo typically battle villains who are masters of schoolyard gags and games like Hopscotch, Freezetag, or Red Rover, we're thinking of this as a great game of Finders Keepers."
Dismuke may not be a millionaire, but he vows, "Gamemasters will not be upstaged! Have at thee, generous spirits who require nothing in return for your kindness! Except for your undying, faithful allegiance as Gamemasters fans and avid enthusiasts of the Roshambo comics of course."
As the story continues to unfold for Gamemasters'
Gamemasters is a property that started as a fund-raising comic book idea that went from Kickstarter to center stage as a San Diego Comic Con exhibitor in only four months. Its rapid success secured Gamemasters an exhibit at this year's Licensing Show, the premier trade show where the worlds' most influential properties, characters and brands meet with consumer goods makers and entertainment partners to accomplish global merchandising and marketing deals. For Roshambo Issue #1, Dismuke tapped the successful Kickstarter campaign to print copies of the first story in the series and pay for the artistic talents of Susan Tsui (http://www.gamemasterscomic.com/

If you like quiet, beware! When this hostel says it is family friendly, what they really mean is that they will let kids scream and ruin the sleep of other guests- this place sounded worse than a playground. Being a child should not exempt you from the rules and common courtesies that all guests are supposed to adhere to. I was forced to get up at 6:45 in the morning each day, because the kids were running back and forth across the hall and yelling.

Volunteer and Events Coordinator
Leanne Robb, as our sole employee, energetically runs the Perth office and has prime responsibility for coordinating both the volunteer and event programs. All other operational activities including maintaining links with government agencies, community organisations and sponsors, as well as conducting our annual end-to-end Epic ride are now the direct responsibility of the individual board members.
" My involvement with the Munda Biddi Trail started in the winter of 2002 after seeing a double page spread in the travel section of the weekend edition of The Western Australian newspaper featuring this new off-road cycle trail through the bush. We (my husband Bill, daughter Samantha and I) were into bushwalking and cycling round the river at the time and our attention was captured by the newspaper editorial and soon after we were hooked on exploring the Munda Biddi Trail" – Leanne Robb
Leanne has a long history with the Munda Biddi Trail Foundation since her family purchased a membership in 2002.
In 2005 she qualified as a Ride Guide and soon after trained as a trail maintenance volunteer and adopted Section 1 of the Trail from the northern terminus at Sculpture Park, Mundaring to Mundaring Weir Hotel – one of the most used sections of the Munda Biddi Trail.
Between 2010 and 2014, Leanne worked for the Department of Environment and Conservation (now Parks and Wildlife) on the Munda Biddi Trail project as the Administration Officer. She also served on the MBTF Board of Directors from 2006 to 2012.
Since 2014 Leanne has been employed by the Foundation as the Volunteer and Events Coordinator.
In addition to Leanne's long association with the Trail, she brings with her a high level of Trail knowledge and experience. She has competed three unsupported long distance rides on the Munda Biddi Trail on her hard tail Giant Yukon mountain bike:
- 2010 (September): Nannup to Mundaring, 498km over two weeks. In 2010 the Trail ended in Nannup, the remainder of the Trail through to Albany was under construction.
- 2013 (October): Nannup to Albany, 552km over two weeks. Leanne says "to finish off what we had started and ride the newly constructed Trail to Albany". The Trail was completed in April 2013.
- 2014 (August): Mundaring to Albany, 1050km in 16 days. Leanne on why she took on the challenging timeframe: "for the challenge I only had two weeks in between finishing at Parks and Wildlife and starting at the Foundation, plus I wanted to ride the entire Trail in one go".
If you require assistance in planning your next Munda Biddi Trail adventure, Leanne works Monday to Thursday at the Foundation office, which is located at 105 Cambridge Street, West Leederville, Ph: (08) 6336 9699.

Model #DF32CP-4
Proven to Repel:DeerRabbitsSquirrels
Get a Great Value with Concentrates
One 32 oz. bottle of Concentrate Deer Off® yields as much deer repelling solution as 8 bottles of ready-to-use spray. All you need to do is mix the concentrated solution as directed and apply, for long-lasting protection against deer.
One 32 oz. bottle covers up to 4,000 sq. ft.
A Scent They Fear and a Taste They Can't Stand
Deer Off® offers dual protection as it targets animals' sense of smell and taste. This Patented Dual Deterrent System™ provides odor and taste barriers that effectively repel deer from browsing and feeding upon flowers, grass, bulbs, shrubs, plants, seedlings and trees, and just one application lasts up to 90 days.
Formula Delivers an Effective Warning
Deer Off® contains putrescent egg, which repels deer and other animals by targeting their heightened sense of smell. Its odor warns animals of nearby predator activity, because it mimics that of decaying prey. This causes deer to forage elsewhere. As a second layer of protection, Deer Off® also contains two powerful taste deterrents - garlic and capsaicin. Deer detest the intense spiciness of these ingredients, so they won't want to eat your protected plants.
Deer Off® dries odorless to humans.
Weather-Resistant Protection That Lasts Up to 3 Months
Deer Off® is weather-resistant and gives you season-long control. Plus, it lasts up to 90 days - so you can spend less money and time reapplying.
Repel Rabbits and Squirrels Too!
Deer Off® is like a deer-proof fence that also keeps out smaller critters like rabbits and squirrels, which means you can use this one formula to save your plants from three common garden nuisances.

Disclaimer: Havahart does not endorse any information contained in product reviews. Please follow all label instructions for your specific use.Deer Off® Deer & Rabbit Repellent Concentrate - 32 oz is rated out of 5 by 5.Rated 5 out of 5 by Bullwinkle from Deer Off This product has been very effective for repelling rabbits. We are more than pleased with the service we have received. The original order arrived promptly, but was severly damaged in shipment. When notified of this problem, Havahart immediatly sent a replacement at no charge. The carrier refused responsibility.Date published: 2016-08-25Rated 5 out of 5 by AndyinSC from We were skeptical but it works! Our rose bushes and day lillies had taken a beating from the local deer population and after trying several other methods we found Deer Off. We were skeptical that it could work but willing to try it and we're so glad we did. Within a few days of spraying around the plants we started seeing rose buds and a few days later we have blooms again! We can't be happier!Date published: 2016-07-01Rated 5 out of 5 by Alan40 from Deer Off great product I purchased this product a year ago at Lowes and it worked very well. This year I tried to purchase it at Lowes and Home Depot, both stores are not stocking the product. I bought it on line and I am very happy that I was able to get it. I only to sprayed once and the deer stay away.Date published: 2016-04-01Rated 5 out of 5 by New England gardener from Bye, bye deer This winter, whitetail deer have crisscrossed our property and stopped along the way to devour trees and shrubs. No longer! Deer Off has halted them in their tracks.Date published: 2016-02-15Rated 5 out of 5 by Maria from My garden is lush and beautiful I have used Deer Off EXCLUSUVELY for the past 15 years, both in the Low Country of SC and now in the mountains of Asheville, NC. It is extremely effective! When I moved to Asheville one year ago, neighbors kept telling me that I was wasting my time planting hostas and other lovely plants that were attractive to deer. I told them that all you had to do was to spray regularly with Deer Off. They laughed at me, and of course did not take the advice of someone they considered too new to the area to understand the eating habits of deer. Well, my garden is lush and beautiful, with hostas thriving and in bloom all over, while theirs has been decimated by the local deer population. And my neighbors STILL won't admit I'm right! I would not waste my money on another deer repellant. I have even grown to like that garlicky aroma of Deer Off!Date published: 2014-10-17
Will Deer Off® work in cold temperatures?Yes - the product must be sprayed before temperatures drop below 40 degrees. If sprayed after temperatures sink to 40 degrees or lower, a liquid repellent can freeze and cause damage to the plant.Date published: 2015-06-05
Will Deer Off® kill my grass?No. As with all liquids, do not spray any plants in the peak heat of the day. This will protect plants from burning from the sun.Date published: 2015-06-05
What does being OMRI Listed® mean?Being OMRI Listed® is an honor few products carry. OMRI goes through a rigorous independent review of the manufacturing process, raw material sourcing, etc. to give you confidence that the products with the OMRI Listed® logo can be used for organic gardening.Date published: 2015-06-05
Is it okay to spray Deer Off® on flowers?Yes. Always test the product in a small area and wait 24 hours before full application as some flowers may be more sensitive. Some sensitive varieties may be restricted but generally, Havahart® repellents can be used on flowers. Always use as directed.Date published: 2015-06-05
Is Deer Off® all natural and organic?Deer Off® comes from Havahart®, a company dedicated to providing a wide spectrum of caring control solutions for pets and wildlife. Deer Off® Ready-to-Use is the only OMRI Listed® (Organic Materials Review Institute), dual-deterrent deer repellent on the market, and is compliant for use in organic gardening.Date published: 2015-06-05
If I spray Deer Off® in my yard, will the deer go into my neighbors' yards?Yes, it's quite possible that the deer will move into your neighbors' yards where they do not detect the scent of Deer Off®.Date published: 2015-06-05
How much coverage does one 32 oz. bottle of Deer Off® Concentrate provide?When mixed with 7 parts water, one 32 oz. bottle protects up to 4,000 sq. ft.Date published: 2015-06-05

do the music last, just like making a movie. create the visual and story line (if any) experience, then score it. much easier. unless you already have music in mind. then the music can help inspire the feeling of the graphics, instead of the other way around (the "scoring" a film method). by the time it comes to score it to music, you may have thought of appropriate types of music based on the graphics.
Thank you!

Recap: 'Big Brother 11' Sunday - Jeremy Piven drops by to plug
Honestly, I don't know how BB could live up to Thursday's near perfect episode (Chima and Russell unleashed their full-bore crazy on one another, Jeff and Jordan got jiggy with it as Ronnie farted and begged for mercy and, oh yeah, Ronnie waddled out of the house in disgrace). Really, what could happen tonight to improve on that? A comet hitting the BB house? Julie Chen giving birth live on the air? A Jordan and Jeff sex tape courtesy of CBS? An entirely weird and random visit from Jeremy Piven and Chima's revelation about a close encounter with a serial killer? Oh, wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
[Recap of Sunday (Aug. 9) night's "Big Brother" after the break...]
Straight off, Chima is all hella lot of gloating about her HOH title, which makes Russell kind of want to kill himself. After all, he went toe to open-toe pump with the diva on Thursday, so he now knows he's going to have to lavish hearfelt kisses on her butt to keep his head off the block – although I don't really think there's anything he can say to Chima that's going to spare him accept maybe asking for her hand in marriage, since she is the crazy jealous type and, if this were a romantic comedy, all that hate would really mean she likes him. Lydia is no more optimistic than Russell and is preparing herself to be nominated for a third time. As she points out, her arch nemesis is also Chima's best friend – Nathalie – so, yeah, time to pack a bag.
Just when I'm starting to feel bummed out about how this week will go, Jeff reminds us that, oh yes, Chima can suck it because he has the power of Coup D'Etat, and he's going to use it, you betcha. Can't wait for the close-up on Chima's face when she discovers she might as well have been HOH of "Sober House" this week for all the good her powers are going to do her.
Of course, Chima hasn't forgotten about "the wizard" living in the house, which Jordan explains to us is everyone's clever name for the one holding a mysterious power – and, of course, is Jeff. So, Jordan doesn't know it yet, but she's definitely bedding down with the right guy for even more reasons than she thought. Studly AND all powerful, what a combo!
Jeff loves having the mystery power, and somehow manages to stop himself from hopping onto a table and yelling, "Nyah, nyah, I've got you, suckas!" when Nathalie starts promoting the idea that whoever has the power would be stupid to use it. Which pretty much tells us that Nathalie is scared crapless that it will be used against her. Which I'm really hoping it will be. Newsflash – Jeff is going to use it, and he will use it wisely, or so he tells us.
Everyone scuttles off to gossip in their bedrooms like particularly chatty mice, and Michele and Lydia bond over the fact they think they're both going on the block, while Chima and Nathalie bond over deviously plotting about who Chima should kick out the door. Nathalie pushes for Russell, but admits she doesn't think he'd put up either of them, which is borderline delusional or wishful thinking, if you ask me.
It's time for Chima to show off the HOH room, which has lots of family pictures and a basket full of Pringles. Chima gets a letter from her mom, who is apparently ill, and for a minute Diva Chima actually exposes herself as part human while reading the letter aloud, which pretty much guarantees any sympathy we may feel for her now will be canceled out by some witchy thing she does in the next fifteen minutes. Just saying.
Michele is happy that there's a female HOH, even if it has to be Chima, and she decides to kiss the butt of the queen. Chima admits she doesn't want to put up any of the women of the house because she wants a woman to win, which would be more heart-warmingly grrl power of her if we didn't know, duh, that woman is her and her alone, and she feels pretty sure she can kick chick ass. Still, even though it seems obvious that Russell should be on her short list, she thinks he may still be an ally, which means she has no clue how annoying she's been for the last week.
Then, it's time for Russell to kiss Chima's ass (unfortunate HOH side effect – chafing). Which, let me tell you, does not start out well. Not only do they not snuggle up in bed together but instead perch in opposing semi-comfortable chairs like Clinton chatting up Kim Jong Il, Chima reminds Russell that she's said before if she ever gets HOH he's first on her nominations list, and for personal reasons. Russell apologizes for losing his cool and tells Chima he's no liar, which she isn't buying if the snarly look on her face is any indication. Russell gives her a hug, which looks like two angry panda bears grappling with one another, but he's hopeful she'll change her mind for some reason. Maybe he's hoping this is a cheesy romantic comedy, too.
Next up, we get to see Jeff and Jordan analyze the anatomy of spiders. Jordan decides spiders spin webs out of their butts, while Jeff thinks they shoot them out of their wrists, because in his world Spider-Man is 100 percent real. Then, they start talking about spider sex. And I feel my I.Q. drop about 5 points from having to listen to this.
Just when I thought I might doze off, we head on over to the recycling-themed room (conveniently covered in protective bubble wrap) where Chima is telling Michele, Jessie, Jeff and Kevin that she was raped by a serial killer. Wait, let me repeat that. Chima reveals she was raped by a serial killer, and says this in pretty much the same way you might share that you ate two donuts for breakfast when you're really on a diet. And, oh yeah, she fought back, he could have shot her, she had to have two surgeries to her face and the guy was executed.
After this little reveal, Kevin says he has a newfound respect for Chima, and I do, too, although I think, girlfriend. you may have wanted to tell us that instead of bitching about being a hardcore diva at the beginning of the show. Interesting that she reveals this now as HOH, though, which seems creepily calculated and I can't really say I'm sure what to think. Although, if you have to play a trump card, this is a good and mighty one.
Because no one in the house has anything to do except eat, cry or panic, Jordan tells Jeff she thinks the two of them are going up, and that she believes Michele has the mystery power. Jeff, of course, tries to reassure her everything will be fine and somehow manages not to whisper in her ear that he's the man, which she'd probably interpret as a come-on anyway.
Okay, then Jeremy Piven walks into the house. Wait, let me repeat that. Jeremy Piven walks into the house. What the F?
Everyone, of course, is thrilled to pieces, because they are so damn bored that analyzing the mating habits of spiders has become an entirely acceptable way to pass the time, so a real live person, hey, even better. Jeff reveals that Jeremy Piven is top 8 on his celebrity list, which is generous, considering Jeremy looks a little bit like he slept in his clothes and really needs a shave. Although I will give him big props for fingering Lydia as the girl most likely to lose it (ding, ding) in less than 11 minutes, which is pretty damn insightful.
The good news is that Jeremy Piven is dropping by for a reason other than looking for a date, and that's promoting his new movie, "The Goods." It is, of course, the reward in a luxury challenge. Everyone watches a trailer and laughs their asses off, because, again, they are so starved for entertainment they're one step away from building a fort from their toenail clippings.
Jeremy reveals one person will get a cash reward, and that he'd lose his mind if he had to live in the Big Brother house, and not even from mercury poisoning. Jessie then tries to actually make plans with Jeremy, an offer which he carefully sidesteps while looking for his publicist.
Then, we see the luxury challenge – stuffing junker cars full of crap. Jeff is heartbroken to be on a team opposite Jordan, to which I say, huh, clingy. Winners get to see the movie, losers become have-nots for the week. Chima has to pick one team she thinks will be the winners, and of course she chooses Jessie and Nathalie's team, because she's nothing if not loyal and strategic.
Oh, but let's not forget – the four members of each team also have to squeeze themselves into their junk-filled cars. Jessie tells us he weighs 200 pounds, has a 48-inch back and 18 inch arms, which made it difficult to get in the car, but was entirely worth it because it gave him a chance to tell us how buff he is.
Jessie, Nathalie, Russell and Jordan win the challenge, which makes Jeff want to go on a cigarette and coffee diet, which seems unnecessarily self-punishing, but whatever. Then, it's time for the winners to open their commission checks, and Russell wins $10,000. He's tickled, of course, but can't show it, since he doesn't want to invite the ire of his housemates. Which is unfortunate, because it's always nice to see a rageaholic happy.
After the challenge, Stalker Lydia decides to cuddle with Jessie, which doesn't seem to get Jessie hot and bothered since he tells her he can't breathe with her tattooed ass on top of him. Nathalie, sensing competition, walks in and orders Jessie to go get in bed with her. Jessie just shuffles off to his own bed, but he tries to make nice with Nathalie, who reluctantly accepts a hug and takes the opportunity to remind him that someday Lydia may win HOH and put her on the block, and somehow this will be all his fault, which I didn't completely understand, but they'd been outside in the hot sun stuffing crap into cars and I'm sure she was just tired. But apparently this crazy-ass rant was coherent enough to tick Jessie off, and he promises to stop talking with Lydia next week, but first he has to go mend fences with Lydia... so that he can burn them down next week. I'm going with sun exposure or a certifiable case of stir crazy, either one.
Chima, realizing that Jessie and Nathalie squabbling is not good for their alliance, decides that eliminating Lydia may just be the easiest way to restore harmony to the house, which is probably true.
Finally, it's time for Chima to pick her nominees. Michele is hopeful, Russell is resigned for good reason and Jordan is worried for no reason at all. Chima gives her nominations a good deal of thought, which is funny, because Jeff's just going to swoop in and do whatever he likes, but I'm glad she took it seriously.
It's key time! Nathalie is safe (duh), Jessie is safe (duh), Kevin is safe, Michele is safe, Jordan is safe and Jeff is safe. That leaves, you guessed it, Russell and Lydia. Chima tells Russell she has a problem trusting him, and that Lydia is joining him so she can't vote to keep him in the house.
Lydia whines about being a lone wolf and Chima being a mama bear with baby bears, which strikes me as an unfortunate mixed metaphor, but hey, she's stressed. Russell lets out a growl for the diary-cam and admits he is itching to open a can of whup-ass on some people in the house, but he's going to try to play the game and win people over with kindness, even if he's grimacing and snarling while doing it. Jessie is worried about the wizard or unicorn, and he should be, because Jeff's going to whip out his secret power after the POV competition, and you know this is going to be good.
Who do you think Jeff will put on the block? What did you think of Chima's revelation? And are you going to see "The Goods" or not?

There is no spring practice this week for Boise State football because of spring break. Coaches and players alike have taken some time off, but will return next week to continue what has seemed to be a productive spring camp thus far.
Boise State students have a fun & safe spring break & come back ready to Attack your Future! GO BRONCOS!— Coach Bryan Harsin (@bryanharsin) March 22, 2014
Injuries have been kept to a minimum early on, and the attitude and energy of the players and coaches appears to be much better than in recent years.
With no action on the field this week, it might be the right time to review what has transpired the first two weeks of spring camp for the Broncos, and what it might mean for the team this fall.
Players Making an Impact
There are several players making an impact so far. One of those such players is JUCO transfer running back Derrick Thomas.
Thomas has been named a player of the day twice, and coaches seem to be excited with how he looks running and catching the ball.
Running backs coach Kent Riddle is quoted on BroncoSports.com as saying, "Derrick has put together two really nice practices in a row. He showed some nice explosiveness and power on Sunday night, and caught the ball well out of the backfield for a couple of scores."
Other players catching the eye of coaches are safety Darian Thompson, quarterback Grant Hedrick, wide receiver Thomas Sperbeck, cornerback Mercy Maston and running back Jay Ajayi.
Linebacker Corey Bell is having what appears to be an outstanding spring as well. He has been named one of the players of the day at least four times according to BroncoSports.com, and is causing all sorts of havoc.
Defensive coordinator Marcel Yates had good things to say about Bell, "Corey is just always around the ball. When there is a big play on defense, number 38 seems to be in the middle of things or the one causing the havoc."
A surprising name also appeared on the BroncoSports.com list of spring practice players of the day. Redshirt freshman quarterback Ryan Finley was announced as the "Playmaker" on March 17.
Finley, as mentioned by Chadd Cripe of the Idaho Statesman, is coming off of shoulder surgery. Cripe quotes head coach Bryan Harsin in the article when it comes to the reps Finley has received this spring, "what he's getting right now is a lot more than I thought he'd be getting."
Who will be Grant Hedrick's backup in 2014?
If Finley is healthy this fall it could help the Broncos with a position that is far too thin for comfort. Boise State currently has four quarterbacks on the roster with a fifth to be added when new recruit Alex Ogle gets to town this fall. However, only redshirt senior Grant Hedrick has any game experience with the Broncos.
A New Time
As mentioned in the introduction, Coach Harsin has brought new energy and attitude to Boise State football. With that he has also brought a new level of openness to the program.
While the media still has some limited access during spring practice, the communication and willingness to share more of an inside look at the program have been apparent.
Not only are Coach Harsin and his staff actively engaging the fans and students on social media, but the program is releasing videos that give everyone a much better look within the team itself.
Bronco All-Access Episode 2 is loaded and ready to roll. https://t.co/vGXdDYiaeo #AttackTheFuture pic.twitter.com/Rz9ViEbz9I— BSURecruits (@BSURecruits) March 16, 2014
Going Forward
With spring ball going well for the Broncos, it will be interesting to see if the momentum is sustained after spring break.
Boise State will hold its official spring game on April 12, and Harsin is hoping for a record crowd. Harsin said his goal is 20,000 fans for that game, via Chadd Cripe of the Idaho Statesman. However, understanding the scope of that, he is also quoted as saying, "We're hoping we can get that. That's a challenge there."
If 20,000 people do show up it would be a tremendous accomplishment. No matter what size the crowd, they will no doubt be greeted by the same kind of enthusiasm and energy Harsin and his staff have produced so far.

50 Cent Responds To Diddy's Alleged Involvement In Tupac's Murder
Meek Mill can rest easy, for now, as 50 Cent is back to toying with his favorite foe: Sean "Puffy" Combs.
Gunplay Threatens To Slap Kidd Kidd Following His MMG Diss
Over the weekend we saw 50 Cent address Meek Mill on stage in New York, and the following night, at 50's second show, the newest addition to the G-Unit family, Kidd Kidd, shared a few bars for Meek, but also targeted another MMG member.
Kidd Kidd Raps An MMG Diss Track At 50 Cent Concert
On Friday night, at the first of two release concerts in support of 50 Cent's The Kanan Tape, the G-Unit boss was able to get a crowd of New Yorkers to chant "fuck Meek Mill!" Last night, at the second show, moving from BB King's to the Highline Ballroom, G-Unit's Kidd Kidd jumped in on the beef, and rapped lines from an MMG diss track he's apparently been working on.
50 Cent Had The Crowd Chanting "Fuck Meek Mill" At His NYC Show
New York generally tends to have 50 Cent's back, and judging by his hometown show at B.B. King's Friday night, they're still backing him in his recent feed with Meek Mill. Footage from the show finds the crowd chanting "Fuck Meek Mill," and cheering on Fif's shots at the MMG rapper. "From now on, no more competition with n----s that didn't sell over one million records," said Fif at one point, also criticizing the rapper for his lack of Grammys.
50 Cent's Assets Reportedly Worth $16 Million
50 Cent's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy -- "rich man's bankruptcy," as he puts it -- came as a surprise to many. After all, 50 netted as much as $100 million when he sold his stake of Vitamin Water in 2007.
Meek Mill Advises Irv Gotti On 50 Cent Beef: "Let Him Drown Hisself"
Last we checked in on 50 Cent's revived feud with Irv Gotti (itself an off-shoot of his IG argument with Meek Mill), Irv had accused the rapper of being a police informant back in the thick of G-Unit and Murder Inc.'s famous beef.
Irv Gotti Shares Document Listing 50 Cent As "Informant"
Soon after Meek and 50 started beefing, Murder Inc. founder Irv Gotti decided to back the former, and he left a comment on Meek's Instagram in which he revealed that 50 Cent had filed an "order of protection" against him, his brother (Chris Gotti), and the rapper Black Child. Knowing 50, it was surprising it took him this long, but he has now responded to the Murder Inc. boss.
Waka Flocka Shares His Thoughts On Meek Mill/50 Cent Beef
When Meek Mill dissed 50 Cent on his new track "Gave Em Hope," he probably didn't know the G-Unit boss' response would consist of an array of highly shareable memes, which made the "beef" go viral right away.
Meek Mill To 50 Cent: "I Submit To Your Memes"
Is this what losing a rap beef looks like in 2016?
Snoop Dogg & 50 Cent Are Latest Celebs To Protest Oscars
Snoop Dogg is the latest celebrity to throw shade at the Academy Awards. He posted a profanity-laden video last night, saying "Somebody asked me 'was I gonna watch the muthafuckin' Oscars?' Fuck no. What the fuck imma watch that bullshit for?" He goes on to specifically call out the lack of black actors and actresses nominated this year. 50 Cent also entered the conversation, posting a photo of Chris Rock and pleading with this year's host to bail on the awards show.
Meek Mill Asks 50 Cent To Match His $50k Water Donation To Flint, Michigan
Following Meek Mill's diss on his new 4/4 EP, 50 Cent has been relentlessly trolling the MMG rapper on Instagram. For the most part, Meek hasn't taken the bait, and has now decided to turn a negative into a positive by acknowledging a fan's request for charity.
50 Cent Won't Stop Taking Shots At Meek Mill On Instagram
It wasn't long after Meek Mill dissed 50 Cent on his new tape that the two rappers began exchanging jabs/memes on Instagram. While Meek has mostly let up at this point, 50 Cent is still going hard in the paint.
Tony Yayo Jumps In On The Meek Mill/50 Cent Beef
Meek Mill dissed 50 Cent on his new 4/4 track "Gave Em Hope," and 50 clapped back quickly today by sharing several of the Internet's pettiest memes clowning the Philly rapper.
Irv Gotti Backs Meek Mill In Beef With 50 Cent
On his new EP, 4/4, Meek Mill earned himself a new enemy as he dissed 50 Cent on the track "Gave 'Em Hope." Predictably, 50 was quick to respond and unleashed a series of ruthless memes against the MMG rapper on Instagram.
Meek Mill & 50 Cent Exchange Jabs On Instagram
We were expecting Meek Mill to target Drake in his new material, and while that did happen, he saved some of his most ruthless bars for a surprising target -- 50 Cent.While Rick Ross and 50's beef raged on, Meek remained cool with Fif for some time, but it seems those days are over, as the DreamChasers rapper has come to his MMG boss's defence on new track, "Gave 'Em Hope".
Meek Mill Disses 50 Cent On "Gave 'Em Hope"
Meek Mill finally dropped some new music tonight, and it came in the form of a 4-track EP titled 4/4.
50 Cent Takes Apparent Shot At Rick Ross: "I Will Have His HEAD"
50 Cent likes to have the final word. Just ask Vivica A. Fox, The Game, French Montana, Diddy, or anyone who's ever taken shots at the Queens rapper-turned-mogul -- it's not a question of if he'll clap back, but when.
50 Cent Announces "Power" Season Three Will Air In June
"Empire" may be flashier, and definitely gets more media coverage, but "Power" is really where it's at. The TV show, which is executive produced by 50 Cent and stars the rapper as the malicious gangster (who may or may not get his just desserts), Kanan, is set to return this summer.
Rick Ross Says He's "The Biggest L" 50 Cent Ever Took
Rick Ross recently sat down for an interview with Rolling Stone, where he touched on his reignited beef with 50 Cent, as well as his recent album Black Market (which he largely recorded while on house arrest last year), DJ Khaled's lost-at-sea excursion and more.
Wiz Khalifa's "See You Again" Originally Meant For 50 Cent & Eminem
This morning, 50 Cent stopped by the Boomer & Carton radio show on WFAN New York to chop it up about New York sports as well as his notorious first pitch at a 2014 Mets game.

Interactive Lecture Demonstrations—What's New? ILDs Using Clickers and Video Analysis
David Sokoloff, Priscilla Laws and Ronald Thornton
AAPT session. Next offering at AAPT Summer Meeting, Sacramento, CA, July, 2016.
The results of physics education research and the availability of microcomputer-based tools have led to the development of the Activity Based Physics (ABP) Suite. Most of the ABP Suite materials are designed for hands-on learning, for example student-oriented laboratory curricula like RealTime Physics. One reason for the success of these materials is that they encourage students to take an active part in their learning. This interactive session will demonstrate Suite materials designed to promote active learning in lecture—Interactive Lecture Demonstrations (ILDs)—through active audience participation. The demonstrations will be drawn from energy, heat and thermodynamics, oscillations and waves, electricity and magnetism, light and optics. Results of studies on the effectiveness of this approach will be presented. This session should be of special interest to teachers of large lecture classes as well as those who teach small classes where only one computer is available. For more information, contact David Sokoloff. No pre-registration required. For more information on location, go to the AAPT Web-Site.
Activity Based Physics in the High School Classroom

Full-day workshop. Next offering at AAPT Summer Meeting, Sacramento, CA, July 17, 2016.
This hands-on workshop is designed for teachers in advanced physics classes such as AP, International Baccalaureate and honors physics. Teachers attending should be interested in enabling their students to master physics concepts in mechanics by engaging in inquiry-based active learning. Participants will work with classroom-tested curricular materials drawn from the Activity Based Physics Suite materials. These curricula make creative use of flexible computer tools available from Vernier and PASCO. These materials have been developed in accordance with the outcomes of physics education research . Affordable access to the Suite materials for secondary school use is now available and will be discussed. For more information contact Maxine Willis, Associate Fellow, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Dickinson College, email@example.com. To register, go to the AAPT Web-Site.

Virent secures funding from Shell, Cargill, Honda
Virent Energy Systems Inc. of Madison is looking to accelerate its development of renewable fuels after it raised $46.4 million in its latest financing round.
The closing of Virent's third round of funding deepened the company's ties to Royal Dutch Shell PLC. The global oil company has been a research partner with Virent for several years and now has taken an equity stake that gives Shell one of seven seats on the Madison-based biofuels firm's board of directors.
In March, the companies announced the start-up of the world's first biogasoline production plant, which can generate more than 10,000 gallons per year of biogasoline.
"Virent has a competitive advantage from our strong relationships with two premier, global companies, Shell and Cargill. Their significant capabilities and expertise across the value chain will be essential to accelerating deployment of Virent's BioForming technology at commercial scale," said Lee Edwards, Virent's president and CEO.
The companies will also expand their collaboration to research ways to make diesel as well as gasoline.
"This investment demonstrates Shell's confidence in Virent's catalytic biofuel production processes," said Luis Scoffone, vice president of alternative energies at Shell. "The expansion of our joint technology program to include research into the production of diesel from plant sugars offers considerable potential and complements Shell's wider biofuels portfolio."
Shell has research partnerships with a handful of next-generation biofuels firms, but the relationship with Virent is significant because the Madison firm is developing what's known as a "drop-in" fuel, a replacement for gasoline, rather than a renewable fuel that would have to be blended with gasoline, like ethanol.
There are about 15 companies, such as Amyris Biotechnologies and LS9 Inc., that are vying with Virent in the clean-tech biofuels space for "drop-in" fuels, said Jim Lane, editor of Biofuels Digest.
He said it's significant that Virent has attracted investment from companies such as Cargill, Shell and Honda.
"You've got a company like Cargill that understands the feedstock space, and that's really important, and you've got Shell, who's a downstream partner and in a position to distribute the fuel."
The exact amounts invested by Shell, Cargill and Honda are confidential, Edwards said.
Challenges remain, including the engineering and fiscal challenges associated with planning and building a commercial-scale plant capable of supplying 20 million to 100 million gallons a year of "green" gasoline, Lane said.
Proceeds from the equity offering will be used to expand R&D capabilities and move forward with plans for a commercial-scale biogasoline plant, Edwards said.
Virent now employs 80 people and expects to increase that over the next 12 months, if not sooner," he said.
