On the Bookshelf
Gail MarksJarvis continues to strike a good balance between personal finance and investing in her updated and revised edition of "Saving for Retirement (Without Living Like a Pauper or Winning the Lottery)" (FT Press, 2012). She provides a frank discussion of saving, choosing the right investments and developing an asset allocation strategy. MarksJarvis does a great job of emphasizing the importance of compounded returns, proper allocation and approaching investing with a long-term view.
The syndicated financial columnist draws on her conversations with various readers to provide real-life examples of questions and scenarios facing many investors. The tone is educational and respectful, explaining where investors often make mistakes or find themselves led astray. In all cases, she is clear and to the point with useful advice.
This book is particularly well-suited for novice investors who want practical advice on how to get their retirement savings on track. MarksJarvis takes a middle-of-the-road approach, encouraging readers to be neither too conservative nor too aggressive, but rather simply focus on what has worked over the long term. More experienced investors will find the content interesting, especially with many reminders about what they should be doing to best manage their investments.
"The Oracle Speaks: Warren Buffett in His Own Words" (B2 Books, 2012) is a collection of quotes from the well-known investor. Editor David Andrews categorizes comments, insight, advice and tidbits from Buffett into categories such as investing, speculation, politics and life lessons, among others.
This text provides a wide overview of Buffett's philosophy. What it doesn't do is cover new ground. The book also does not go into detail about any single subject. Rather, this is simply a collection of various tidbits of Buffett's homespun commentary. Fans of the Berkshire-Hathaway CEO will find the book to be entertaining. Those who are looking for information on how to invest like Buffett should look elsewhere.
The book is small in physical size, making it easy to carry around. It is also a quick read, with many quotes being 100 words or less. Sources for all quotes are notated for those who want to research the original longer-length text.

An education in sustainability
November 20, 2012 —
The college is doubling down on the bet that sustainable energy is the future of the region with the opening of what it calls a "state-of-the-art" sustainability lab.
The lab is located at Sullivan County Community College (SCCC), and includes facilities that help students learn about the nuts and bolts of wind turbines, solar panel arrays, traditional heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems and generators.
Outside the lab, there are working installations of solar panels, a small wind turbine, the pump house that runs the college's geothermal system, a straw-bale structure and a community garden. All of this forms what the college calls a sustainability cluster.
The college received a $179,000 grant to purchase the simulators and educational materials for the lab and specifically for the Green Building Maintenance and Management and Wind Turbine Technology programs.
"Our sustainability programs are transforming the campus into a 'living laboratory' that models the principles we're talking about in classes," said professor Helena le Roux. "The lab trainers prepare our students to interface really well with our installed systems; they can actually see them functioning as part of the building and contributing to the college campus."
The lab primarily serves the green curriculum at the college, but it can also be used as training for heating, cooling and power generation technologies for other organizations and companies.
"These trainers provide a new take on skills that have been around for a long time," said le Roux. "We're teaching foundational skills that have application in traditional careers and the growing 'green collar' jobs." Wind turbine instructor Larry Reeger added, "Our goal is to see SUNY Sullivan become a model for how a sustainable campus can be operated, and these trainers will give students the hands-on experience and practice they need to make that happen."

Ke$ha1 of 40
Check out the biggest style bombs of 2010. — Glo
We'd start with the $ in her name as style failure number 1, but this outfit the singer wore to the American Music Awards last month was a total disaster.
Lindsay Lohan2 of 40
Trying to hide the SCRAM bracelet on her ankle but letting another part of her hang out, La Lohan really set the bar low (pun intended) with this sequined jumpsuit.
Jennifer Lopez3 of 40
J. Lo: You've been married three times. Do you really need to leave the house in another wedding dress?
Kristen Stewart4 of 40
Somehow this dress seems a little unfinished, no?
Jessica Simpson5 of 40
A spandex dress with a peplum skirt. Now we've really seen it all.

Lady Gaga wore meat. What more is there to say?

Christina Aguilera7 of 40
We get that the singer's trying to go for a Marilyn Monroe look, but thanks to the wiggy hair, bad spray tan and ill-fitting bodice, this is a huge style bomb.
Britney Spears8 of 40
Britney, you've got to have more in your closet than sweats, bad extensions and sheer dresses. Like a pair of real pants maybe?
Blake Lively9 of 40
Speaking of pants, the Gossip Girl star could use a pair too.
Beyoncé Knowles10 of 40
There one was a lady named B
She married the rapper Jay Z
With nothing but cash
She still had to dash
Out the door in this outfit you see.
Jenni "JWoww" Farley11 of 40
Woww is right, but not in a good way.
Nicki Minaj12 of 40
The singer's look was so out of this world, it hypnotized the audience into following her lead.
Fergie13 of 40
Ow, Fergie, just one spike is too many!
Heidi Klum14 of 40
Much was made of the supermodel's choice of dress at a recent appearance. All we can say is, Project Runway designer Mondo Guerra was the runner-up, not the winner, for a reason.
Eva Longoria Parker15 of 40
Just because you have great legs does not mean you can get away with an outfit like this.
Christina Aguilera16 of 40
Christina, if it wasn't good enough for Burlesque, it's not good enough for the red carpet.

Clearly, Taylor Momsen's outfit is making her sick.

Snooki is our favorite Jersey Shore cast member and a pretty princess!

Some people liked the pop star's Oscar dress but we thought it was a bit much for a 17-year-old. Singer. At an awards show for the film industry. Did we miss something?
Danielle Staub20 of 40
Yellow is never a good choice for evening.
Sarah Jessica Parker21 of 40
OK SJP, we get it. You are a huge movie star in a fancy film about fashion. And you're in London. But please, next time, skip the headgear.

Katy Perry thought she was auditioning for Skating with the Stars.
Leighton Meester23 of 40
Somebody's sick of playing a buttoned-up New York socialite, wouldn't you say?
Jennifer Lopez24 of 40
A Noah's Ark-themed dress is actually rather appropriate for the World Music Awards. But still terribly, terribly ugly.
Tyra Banks25 of 40
Tyra "smiles with her eyes" at the camera while we smile with our everything at her outfit.

Christina Aguilera33 of 40
If the raincoat's already see-through, at least we don't have to wonder what happens when it gets wet.
January Jones34 of 40
When your dress matches the step-and-repeat, that's not a good sign.
Jennifer Lopez35 of 40
Boots do not equal pants.
Aubrey O'Day36 of 40
If we're lucky, Aubrey will float away in this balloon-inspired getup. That is, if her boots don't pop anything first.
Drew Barrymore37 of 40
Drew is such a talented actress that she's convinced us she's happy in this dress.
Mischa Barton38 of 40
"Flapper Chic" does not equal flapping about on the lawn.
Aubrey O'Day39 of 40
A great example of why not to wear fur.
Amber Rose40 of 40
When there is more material on your shoes than on your dress, it's time to change.

President Barack Obama on Thursday reappointed Branstad to the role, which he assumed in 2011. The council was established in 2010 to strengthen collaboration between federal and state governments on national security issues. The president appoints the members, with equal representation from both political parties.
In a statement, Branstad says he's pleased to continue the work. He pledged to find "effective and efficient solutions" to improve national security and preparedness.

I am a 48 year old women and have had to count calories all my adult life. I have several health problem and since I turned 35 have gained over a hundred pounds and can't seem to shake them.
I have fibromyalgia which seems to be the main problem with not being able to loose weight. When I was younger I had to work out and eat low cal just to maintain what is considered a normal weight.
I also have hypothyroidism, diabetes and a few other endocrinal issues.
I guess I am wondering if there are other with this battle and if they have any advice.

Hi, My name is Margarett and I am new to this site and was reassured to see a section regarding health issues that might complicate weightloss and or exercise. I too have Fibromyalgia along with Cervical and Lumbar Stenosis and Radiculopathy. Both of these conditions affect movement for me. In addition, I have a heart condition called Atrial Fibrilation with RVR- basically my heart rate is irregular and can spike up to 300+ BPM and was just diagnosed a week ago with COPD (second hand smoke realted)
Most of my meds keep me pretty lethargic if not completely wiped out.. but i Know changes have to be made. I am 100lbs overweight and even though my dr.s have all assured me my weight is not a contributing factor to my illnesses, I feel sure that they agravate my conditions. If there is anyone who can give me suggestions, please let me know. I apprecate any guidance I can get.

Welcome Jancae, Sorry to hear you have sciatic pain. I have back problems from a nursing injury. I also struggle with depression, and Fibromyalgia. It is so hard to loose weight with these things going on. I am trying to get on the treadmill everyday, not getting there today though. I have had a setback with depression this week. I am needing more sleep to be able to make it through the day. I think I am feeling better today. Hope you can find some strengh with this blog. It helps me to see other people have the problems I have. For a long time my family didn't understand how tired I was. I have a wonderful new husband who works with me. Good luck. cj
Posted - 02/24/2008 : 9:53:55 PM
new to this sight. I also have fibromyalgia. I am 48 - soon to be 49. At present I think I am having trouble with my sciatic nerve. Have bouts with depression and am definitely a stress eater. Would like to hear from anyone. thanks.
Posted - 02/21/2008 : 3:17:28 PM
I am not taking either of those meds sprint. I use a pain patch that I change every 72 hours. And also a muscle relaxer 3 times a day and a type of ibuprofen that is stonger than over the counter stuff.
Righ now I am also taking percocets. I did break my foot. There goes any hope of walking for a while to exercise.
Posted - 02/20/2008 : 8:22:33 PM
Hi All, Hope your pain is under control today. I am still having a hard time getting on the treadmill. I know that I am the only one to make it happen. Had a med check with Dr. today. No change in med. Lyrica level is at healthy level. I still have the puffy hands and feet, blurry vision, & weight gain. Is anyone on Lyrica?
I also wonder if anyone is taking Stratara? Have a good day. I'm looking forward to replies. Take Care, cj
Posted - 02/20/2008 : 11:28:33 AM
I think for most of us the biggest problem is how we see ourselves. I am not sure but think we are all pretty much from the same era of women looking like sticks. Granted I have enough sense to know I will never look like that, but I would like to loose enough to not get winded walking through Walmart.
I have had a "wonderful" (NOT) week. I feel friday and have either twisted my ankle to hades or cracked my foot. Going to the podiatrist today to see what the radiologist has to say about my x-ray. Another set back, just what I don't need.
I hope everyone else is doing better.

Hi all! I've been a food fit member for the last year or so and I have had some success. It has been slow but I did lose 20Ibs last year. I struggle with Sarcoidosis and just found out that I have sleep apena. Sarcoidosis is a autoimmune disease that most people (including doctors) know very little about. It makes it hard to have energy to go beyond the workday but, I force myself to go to the gym. I was on steriods for 2yrs and gained 60Ibs I am determined to get them off or die trying!! I tell myself that a little change in behavior is much better than no change at all!!! I hope with the CPAP treatment that I'm on now will pay off with more energy (as soon I get used to wearing a big fat scuba mask at night HEE HEE). Take care everyone and just take one step in the right direction and we will all make change happen!!!
Posted - 02/09/2008 : 9:12:52 PM
Hi All,
I am taking Lyrica now. Would like feedback from anyone else on it. I don't like the side effects, but going without is really not good.
I have gained about 8 pounds, and really lack motivation to get on treadmill. I know I feel better after. I would like to hear more on the pain patch. thanks cj
Posted - 02/09/2008 : 4:40:56 PM
Hi all, sorry I haven't kept up with this thread. I basically couldn't remember where it was. Going to bookmark it now.
About those who are in pain and how to cope. I see a pain doctor and use a pain patch along with muscle relaxers. It helps, but there are still no pain free days. I figure if I have a 4 or 5 day I am doing good. On a scale of 1 to 10 that is. Winter of course has made that next to impossible have.
On the weight problem I am seriously thinking about looking into surgery. I am so tired of being like I am. No will power to speak of, though I am working on the stop smoking right now and doing ok. Only one cig this past week.
Well I am off. Can't sit at this computer too long on days like today. It's a 9 pointer today.
Posted - 02/09/2008 : 12:11:18 PM
Hi Dianna, So sorry to hear you have so many health concerns. I am an LPN. I was a dialysis nurse for 6 years, now I do home health, and work in special ed at our local HS. My degree is in disability services(didn't go to college until I was 40, worked in factory while raising my kids). I was wondering if you like to read. I love books and enjoy the Beverly Lewis books about the Amish community. My daughter and son-in-law have Amish friends in their farm neighborhood. It is very interesting to me. I also know there are video DVD for exercising while sitting. Could help burn some calories and boost your spirits. I have been on meds for depression for 21 years and try to exercise. That is a eal battle for me. I started college late in life, and did many of my classes on line. I have to do cont. ed. Just some ideas. have a good day. cj
Posted - 02/09/2008 : 11:56:46 AM
Hi Peggy, So glad to get a reply. Hope you are doing good today. Being an LPN, I have to say "You go girl, get rid of those ciggs.' I really get that it is easier said than done. Do your best each day, that's all we can do. How about the fibro pain? What do you do to help relieve the pain. I had to go back on my Lyrica. I was unable to walk after the med was out of my body. It has been really bad going off... and going back on. I was in bed for three days. I am much better now. I told my hisband to "hit me in the head the next time I had any big ideas to change meds." have a good day.
Posted - 02/05/2008 : 01:19:06 AM
Hello all, I have had an bad week. One winter storm after another here in Chicago and you all know how much worse the pain gets when the pressure changes. On top of that I find if I go outside when it is really cold my Angina acts up. Now I cannot even go outside unless the temps are over 20 at least LOL. Who said these are the golden years? Or is that after you turn 60? Well anyway, I have been trying to do more stretching (light and easy,just a few leg lifts or arm rotations) in the morning and found a long hot session in the bath really helps me just before bed. Hubby gives me a gentle massage also with Aspircream (spelling?) on the really sore areas. It works better for me than the hot stuff like Ben Gay. Hubby likes that it doesn't smell. lol.Well ya all take it easy and try and get through one day at a time. It is the best we can do. Write soon.
Any day above ground is a good day!
Posted - 02/04/2008 : 4:44:21 PM
Hi, This is my firt time to reply. Today I am home from work with fibromyalgia pain. I decided to stop using Lyrica because of the crappy side effects. I forgot how much pain I was in. I think my therapeutic level of med is near. My pain is better this afternoon. I have been in bed for two days. I also struggle with weight. I will try the stretching before I get out of bed. What are other people doing for the pain with moving and walking? Thanks
Posted - 01/08/2008 : 6:22:55 PM
Hi from Deanna,
Surely glad I found you. I have heart failure, occasional A-fib, ulcerative colitis, Chrone's (?) disease, am on Coumadin, have osteoporosis so bad that my bones are considered "fragile". My doc won't let me do any strength training and I can only walk for about 5 min. before I get angina. Prior to these medical problems I'd been slender all my life and ate whatever I wanted. I expected it to continue as my mother was slender. Now I'm about 50 lbs overweight and I see no way out of it. I can't exercise. I consume more calories than I can burn off in one day and with the boredom that comes with nothing to do, I've found eating is a way to pass the time. Please! Can someone help?
Posted - 11/05/2007 : 1:58:38 PM
Welcome, I hope today is a good day for you. I know how hard the seasonal changes can get us down. I am not sure I can give any answers, I am still asking many questions myself. But one thing I find is we have to really believe in ourselves and want to treat ourself like the goddess' we are. : ) Baby steps seem the best. It is all I can do to get going in the mornings with the stiffness and pain. But getting into a routine has been helpful for me.
As much as I hate to move first thing in the morning I force myself, before I even get out of the bed, to do a quick set of leg lifts. Modified by how much I am hurting of course. Some days I can't make it past two on each leg. Once I do that, I sit up and I do some arm lifts with my one pound weights my hubby made for me out of liter bottles with handles and sand. Simply holding and lifted from hip to shoulder to the side and then some from thigh to shoulder in front. It may not burn a 100 calories but it does get my muscles to loosen up and I can then make it to the kitchen for my drug of choice... coffee. : ).
So that is how I begin my days. Still fighting the pounds but I know each day will bring me closer to being able to commit myself to being good to me for a change. It is hard to want to love myself when my own body turned on me. I really think that is what keeps me from wanting to do everything I can. By admitting that, I can then work on fighting my brain and proving to it that I am worth it all.
Feel free to E-mail. I would love someone to chat and discuss our similarities and lives and give and get support on bad days.
Peg in Illinois
Any day above ground is a good day!

The Temple of Deir el Bahari (XVIII Dyn)
See also Feature Article on Deir el Bahri by Marie Parsons
The mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut is one of the most dramatically situated in the world. The queen's architect, Senenmut, designed it and set it at the head of a valley overshadowed by the Peak of the Thebes, the "Lover of Silence," where lived the goddess who presided over the necropolis. A tree lined avenue of sphinxes led up to the temple, and ramps led from terrace to terrace. The porticoes on the lowest terrace are out of proportion and coloring with the rest of the building. They were restored in 1906 to protect the celebrated reliefs depicting the transport of obelisks by barge to Karnak and the miraculous birth of Queen Hatshepsut. Reliefs on the south side of the middle terrace show the queen's expedition by way of the Red Sea to Punt, the land of incense. Along the front of the upper terrace, a line of large, gently smiling Osirid statues of the queen looked out over the valley. In the shade of the colonnade behind, brightly painted reliefs decorated the walls. Throughout the temple, statues and sphinxes of the queen proliferated. Many of them have been reconstructed, with patience and ingenuity, from the thousands of smashed fragments found by the excavators; some are now in the Cairo Museum, and others the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

La Crosse Mayoral Candidate Tim Kabat picked up a pair of endorsements Friday evening.
La Crosse Firefighters Local 127 and the Western Wisconsin AFL-CIO are supporting the candidate.
Kabat was a part of the announcement Friday night at the Eagle's Nest. He says he values both endorsements, because he comes from a union family, and this shows he is prioritizing public safety.
Kyle DeMuz, the secretary and treasurer with the Firefighters Local 127, says they are choosing Kabat because of his value to keep our community safe.
"I think his experience inside the city and he sees what value the downtown has and the entire city as a whole," says DeMuz, "I think he realizes that public safety is a big part of that value to the city."

(My lo is 2 months.) I have always had a sleepy baby. I would wake her to feed during the night the first month. Then, she started waking at 12 am and 3 am to eat, so I felt free to sleep. Now I am back to work during the night from 10-6 and daddy is feeding pumped milk. She has been doing so well, however the last few nights, she hasn't woken up to eat. She goes from 9ish all the way to at least 5. Is this ok, is she too young to go so long without eating? She has added some sessions during the day, so input seems to be the same, hence same output.
Any advice, or similar stories are appreciated!

My problem is this: I'm trying to create a simple web-based schools management app using PHP and MySql.
Now I want to assign students to a subject using a select form field like this:
I am able to get the list of available students using this:
Code: Select all
$sql = "SELECT * FROM students ";
mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("dbname") or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query($sql)or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result)) {
$student_firstname = $row['student_firstname'];
$student_lastname = $row['student_lastname'];
$va = $student_firstname . " " . $student_lastname ;
echo "<option value='$va'>$va\n "; }
echo "</option></select>\n";
The Sql syntax I used to create the subjects and assigned students table is:
Code: Select all
CREATE TABLE `subjects` (
`subject_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`subject_name` varchar(50) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`subject_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
CREATE TABLE `assigned_students` (
`subject_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`student_id` int(7) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`subject_id`),
KEY `student_id` (`student_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
alter table assigned_students
add constraint foreign key (subject_id)
references subjects (subject_id) on delete cascade;
alter table assigned_students
add constraint foreign key (student_id)
references students (student_number) on delete cascade;
please I want if I save the form, for the assigned students table to be inserted with ALL the students ids(student_id) and the corresponding subject ids(subject_id). Also, when I want to edit a subject, for the form select to be populated with the students assigned to the subject being edited. Something like this:
Please could someone help me with the sql and PHP code to show it in the form <select></select>.

Color My Eyes Guide to Choosing the Right Colored Contacts
When shopping for colored contact lenses, it's beneficial to have as much information as possible before buying so that you can make the most informed decision. Not all colored contacts are the same. Some lenses come in prescriptive powers, while some are only available in plano, some lenses can be bought as a single lenses and some can only be purchased as pairs. With just a little knowledge, colored contacts can be your new favorite fashion accessories! To help you out, Color My Eyes has created this guide to choosing the right colored contacts.
Buying Colored Contacts as Pairs or Single Lenses
Most of the colored contacts on Color My Eyes are sold as pairs, however a few styles, like the theatrical and costume lenses are sold as single lenses. Selling lenses as individuals gives our customers the convenience to mix-and-match lenses for countless style and costume options. It's easy to to tell exactly what is included for the price stated. Just look right next to the price on each product page and you will see one of the following:
Per Lens - Means that the stated price is for One Single Lens. One Single Lens is just one (1) lens for one eye. If you would like to purchase a pair of lenses you must enter "2" in the Quantity Box.
Per Pair - Means that the price is for a Pair Of Lenses. A pair of lenses consists of two (2) singles lenses, one lens for each eye. Enter "1" in the Quantity Box to purchase a Pair of Lenses.
Prescription Colored Contacts vs. Plano Colored Contacts
Power refers to the strength of vision correction for contact lenses. Measured in diopters, it is scaled in 0.25 increments and is always preceded by a + (plus) or a – (minus). Plano lenses have no vision correction at all and so have a power of 0.00. Not all of our lenses are available in prescription powers, but plano color contact lenses can always be worn for fashion or cosmetic purposes in conjunction with prescription eyeglasses.
Why Do I Need To Get A Contact Lens Prescription?
Whether you are shopping for prescription colored contact lenses or non prescription cosmetic colored contacts, you should know that you do need a prescription before purchasing any lenses. The FDA considers all contact lenses medical devices; this includes all colored and theatrical lenses, even non prescription, Plano (0.00) lenses. This means colored contact lenses can only be sold with the involvement of an Eye Care Professional. Getting a prescription for colored contacts is very simple and totally worth it!
Double Check Your New Lenses Before Opening Them
When you first receive your lenses check them out through the vials or blister packs. Make sure you are happy with the color and design of your new lenses before opening them. Due to health and sanitary restrictions our Return Policy states we are unable to issue refunds unless the lens vials/blister packs are still sealed. If for any reason you think you might not be satisfied with your lenses you can return or exchange them if that have not been opened.
Color My Eyes is always here to help answer your questions about colored contacts and give general advice, but remember, always follow your Eye Doctor's instructions for proper care and use of your color contacts.
Whether you are looking into purchasing colored contacts for the first time or you have been wearing colored lenses for a while, we hope this guide to choosing the right colored contacts helps you get the most out of your lens buying experience!

Melbourne Storm are counting on Craig Bellamy choosing love over money following St George Illawarra's massive bid to secure their successful NRL coach.
Off contract at the end of the 2014 season, the Dragons are believed to have tabled Bellamy an offer worth $6 million over five years.
The mastermind of the 2012 premiership, Bellamy has said he's "50-50" about the possibility of leaving the club where he started his senior coaching career back in 2003 and he plans to make a decision on what's likely to be his final coaching contract this month.
"We know he's looking elsewhere and he's entitled to do that," Storm chief executive Ron Gauci said on Wednesday.
"We're obviously keen to keep him and we're negotiating to do that."

5-4-09 PNC Park
Throughout the day, I thought for sure that batting practice would be canceled. It was raining this morning when I left for work. Raining when I went to lunch. Raining when I left work. Drizzling when I left for the game. So, imagine my surprise when I walked past the left field gates and saw the screens and cage being set up. (The Pirates needed the extra BP after not hitting a home run in more than a week and getting shut out yesterday).
Upon entering the stadium, there was one Easter Egg ball, but another ballhawk got to it first. The Pirates portion of batting practice was slow for me. I got ball #1 when Jason Jaramillo tossed me a baseball before the Pirates finished up at 5:15. Jaramillo was very gracious to all three regular ballhawks in attendance, hooking us each up with a ball.
The Brewers then came out and hit.
Maybe I should've tried for foul balls during the game?
A few action shows:
Paul Maholm deals:
Yovani Gallardo to Nyjer Morgan:
Gallardo throws a pitch:
After Matt Capps blew the save and gave up 4 runs in the 9th, I went to the Pirates dugout. (the Pirates lost their SIXTEENTH game in a row to the Brewers).
I usually get shut out at the dugout, having only received one ball there this year before today. The umpire, Bob Davidson came off the field and tossed me a really nice rubbed up game ball. Ball #7.
Not a bad night after all.
Here's today's balls:
And the sweet spots: (the 4th ball from the pitcher in center had MVP written on it)
The umpire ball is at the front and center.
Game: 7 balls (2 hit, 5 thrown)
Season: 74 balls (28 hit, 39 thrown, 7 device)
Games: 15 games (12 with BP, 3 without)
Average: 4.93 balls per game
Career: 240 balls
Attendance: 8,482

The Brewer who gave you ball #4 is Mark "Deefer" DeFelice. I should know, he shuts me down nearly every time I see him. GOD AM I JEALOUS… 8,482. I would pay double, no, triple my ticket price to ballhawk in a stadium of under 10,000.
Tip: He's affectionately knows as "Deefer" in Milwaukee. Try calling him by that name if you attend another game… He may think you're a Wisconsinite and hook you up again! It doesnt make me feel that bad anymore knowing my team is as stingy on the road as they are at home.
Best of luck.
Nice haul! Is the "MVP" ball one of those infamous random writing balls from Milwaukee? Probably. Anyways, I love the ball with all the grass stains, those are usually the best because your mind starts racing about how all those marks got there in the 1st place. Keep up the awesome work!
The Brewers are definitely stingy when it comes to toss-ups. I don't get that…whatever. I would have been in heaven with that small of a crowd. Nice work on 7-lucky number, eh?
Rackin' 'em up baby! I'm looking to have one of these days this upcoming week. We'll see what the luck brings to me. I'm also enjoying the photos you are recently posting at the beginning of your entries — fish eye/panoramic effect, pretty sweet shots. Good luck next game brotha!

Ok, i just read your response to my comment on the ballhawk league.
Ig exhibition games dont count, then i have not been to an "official" game this year yet. my only game was the exhibition game on April 3rd at Yankee Stadium.
so that needs to be changed in the stats for the league
I thought the Padres' attendance was bad. Your stadium is AWESOME. I totally need to go there some time. Is there a Hilton Hotel downtown within walking distance of the stadium?
Thanks for the tip. I need to watch a few more Brewer games so I can be able to identify the pitchers better.
The MVP ball is the one Defelice tossed to me in center. All of the other Brewer balls that I got in this series just had a line drawn across the sweet spot.
They are real stingy. Next time they're in town I'll have to be a little more brazen with the glove trick while they're on the field.
Thanks. I figured out how to use the panorama feature on my camera a week or two ago.
Just update the stats and take that game off on the next ballhawk league update.
I don't think there's any Hilton hotels in Pittsburgh. Maybe closer to the airport.

Lawahez Jabari / NBC News
Ahmed Jawabreh, 14, was arrested in the middle of the night for allegedly throwing stones at Israeli soldiers in the West Bank refugee camp where he lives and wasn't released for another 18 days. His was only one of a recent wave of arrests of Palestinian children by Israeli authorities, human rights groups say.
TEL AVIV – Ahmed Jawabreh, 14, was asleep in his home in early April at the al-Arub refugee camp near Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, when Israeli soldiers came looking for him. He had been anticipating exams at school in the morning, not a knock at the door at 3:30 a.m.
Ahmed was arrested that night for allegedly throwing stones at Israeli soldiers in the camp earlier in the day and wasn't released for another 18 days, when a judge ordered that a fine of $1,100 be paid and that Ahmed be placed under house arrest.
His was only one of a recent wave of arrests of Palestinian children by Israeli authorities, human rights groups say. According to Defence for Children International (DCI), an independent non-governmental organization based in Geneva, Switzerland, since the beginning of this year there has been a 17 percent increase in arrests of Palestinian children. An average of 198 children were arrested each month in 2012; that average has risen to 232 arrests during the first three months of 2013, DCI reported.
Human rights groups say that in Hebron in particular – where Ahmed was detained – there are clear violations of international law on a daily basis, with children as young as 8 being held for violations ranging from throwing stones to being in restricted areas illegally. On March 20 alone, Israeli soldiers arrested 27 children in Hebron.
Reports of this spike in arrests come on the heels of a UNICEF study released in February which estimated around 700 Palestinian children between the ages of 12 and 17 are detained each year. Over the past decade, the report said, around "7,000 children have been detained, interrogated, prosecuted and/or imprisoned within the Israeli military justice system – an average of two children each day."
'Prevalence of minors'
The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) said in a statement that there has been an increased threat to Israeli civilians and security forces recently in the form of "popular violence and rioting in Judea and Samaria [also known as the West Bank]," and that there was "a prevalence of minors taking part in such riots."
The statement added: "It should be noted that these arrests do take place at night in order to prevent large-scale riots that would ultimately escalate the situation."
Under Israeli military criminal law it is possible to arrest and put on trial anyone 12 years or older. Statutes in that law also state that anyone throwing stones on "a fixed target" can face a term of up to ten years, and that throwing a stone "on a moving target" can be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.
Beyond the immediate concern about abuses carried out against minors like Ahmed, the consequences of imprisoning and convicting young people in this way are widespread and long-term, said Khaled Quzmar, a lawyer with DCI.
"(A) big number of those children end up leaving school or are recruited by the Israeli forces to collaborate with them following threats during investigations," he said. "They threaten them with imprisonment if they did not collaborate."
In Ahmed's case, the soldiers were accompanied by an Israeli TV crew filming the arrest for a documentary. During the filming, Ahmed is seen begging to be allowed to take his exams in the morning. The soldiers are polite but still handcuff and blindfold him.
Ahmed, who says he admitted to throwing stones only after being mistreated, said the soldiers beat him after the cameras were turned off.
His mother thought the arrest could have been handled differently.
"They could've asked me," she said. "I would've taken him to the police station. But not at 3:30 in the morning – to take a child from his bed!"
In 2009, the IDF established a juvenile court with special provisions for trying minors in criminal cases. The minor is given a court-appointed defense attorney and a parent or relative is required at the hearing. Minors have the right to be informed of their rights prior to an investigation, the IDF says.
However, UNICEF reported minors are often held without a parent or legal guardian present, they are often not provided with legal counsel and in some cases they are handcuffed, blindfolded and confined inside checkpoint containers.
Ahmed's version echoes UNICEF's findings.
"I was left outside in the sun in the daytime and in the cold at night. I was beaten many times. I was screaming," he said. "In the end I admitted to throwing two stones."
NBC News' Marian Smith contributed to this report.

Washington Jewish Music Festival, 2008 editionTuesday, June 3rd, 2008
Just off the top of my head I can think of three very good live music performances that I've seen in DC in the past few years thanks to the Washington DC Jewish Community Center's arts program: Charming Hostess, Hasidic New Wave, and Rashanim (performing rock interpretations of John Zorn's Masada songbook). I missed the Washington Jewish Music Festival last year, but this year there looked to be a bunch of interesting artists, and so even though I haven't heard of most of them, I decided to attend as much shows as I could. This is helped by the fact that I landed a photography gig allowing me to document the shows I go to — per usual, the results are up at Flickr. Photography notes are at my photography blog; this is a condensed version with just discussions of the music I've seen so far.
The whole shebang kicked off on June 1, jointly with an absolutely enormous Israel @ 60 celebration. Israel @ 60 was a free event going on all day outside on DC's National Mall; the musical attractions were "anti-folk" singer/composer Regina Spektor and the apparently very popular Israeli rock band Mashina. Later that night, WJMF also sponsored an interesting show at Bohemian Caverns: Ayelet Rose Gottlieb/Anat Fort/Rafi Malkiel, a vocals/piano/trombone trio who recently released an album on Zorn's Tzadik label.
I went to all of the above. Mashina was first, kicking off a little after 1:15. Their set was relatively straightforward rock-and-roll, totally accessible for the mainstream crowd but thoroughly competent and musical, enough to keep me entertained for a while. At 3:30, Regina Spektor came on, and she was a joy to watch and photograph — she has an incredibly expressive face and almost always seems to be smiling. All this despite the fact that she didn't quite seem to be settled in for the first few songs - perhaps because she had to change some lyrics around to accommodate the children in the audience (although there were some "god damns" and reference to cocaine), or simply the fact that she was playing in front of an enormous outdoor audience. She actually forgot the words in the middle of her second song, but handled it in the most endearing way possible, laughing at herself and appealing to her fans in the audience for help. She played piano and guitar and performed one song with a beatboxer as well. It was a great (though short) set for an enthusiastic audience; her vocal talent was really what stole the show, but she was no slouch on either instrument. I think it would be really interesting to hear her perform with some of the downtown NY scene jazz musicians; she frequents some of the same venues, apparently, like Tonic (RIP) and the Knitting Factory.
Then, a couple hours after events on the Mall came to a close, a much more intimate affair took place at Bohemian Caverns, a historic jazz club in the U Street neighborhood that is actually built to look like a cavern when you're inside. The Gottlieb/Fort/Malkiel trio played a set of "love poetry set to jazz," which was not surprisingly mostly slow-moving, laid-back vocal jazz. I was impressed by all three musicians' technical skill — Malkiel was amazingly effective at using the trombone as a textural instrument, Gottlieb has an impressive voice and a whimsical style, and Fort's work on the ivory keys was what held it all together for me, melodic and beautiful but never too straightforward or obvious. Most of the songs drew from Gottlieb's album Mayim Rabim on Tzadik, described by the label as "an evocative song cycle based on texts from the erotic Biblical love poems Song of Songs." Gottlieb explained some of the lyrics for the monolingual folks in the room, and they were… odd. The last song, for instance, was something like a poem about how "as the apples are to the trees, so my man is among men, and his fruit is sweet in my mouth." Um… perhaps I'm glad I couldn't understand the lyrics. :) Regardless, after a long afternoon under the hot sun, this relaxing set of slow jazz was a nice comedown. Following the show, I've been investigating Anat Fort's discography, and may pick up her latest disc on ECM, 2007's A Long Story.
Last night, though, was the highlight of the fest so far for me, and perhaps the show of most immediate interest to readers of this website. Toronto's Beyond the Pale is a five-piece band playing that kind of skewed "world music" that draws mainly from European folk traditions while also mixing in random bits of jazz, rock, bluegrass and other Americana. They reminded me of (and these are not close comparisons, mind you, just bands I thought of while listening) the kinds of bands on the Northside label; or an instrumental Charming Hostess; or Alamaailman Vasarat minus the drones and processed cellos; or Stórsveit Nix Noltes, who opened for Animal Collective a couple years ago and blew me away. With mandolin, clarinet, violin, accordion and acoustic bass, these guys introduced their songs with rhetorical questions like "have you ever wondered what bluegrass would sound like if it were from Romania?" The resulting fusion of ethnic styles was something that I'm a total sucker for, and the sizable audience was eating it up as well. Much of what they played were original compositions, but there were also interpretations of existing material that were brilliant — such as their encore piece, which was Mozart's Minuet in D Minor (I think) reinterpreted through a Serbian folk lens and written in a stilted 7/8 meter (parts of this were hilarious).
I'm going to two more WJMF shows, and if they're half as good as last night's, I'll be happy.
Once again, full photoset is here, and writeups with photography notes are here.

This kinda follows on from a few earlier threads about nutrition but I would appreciate people's advice on my specific situation so here goes: I have a one year old child who was exclusively bf 'til 6 months. At 9 months, she was eating three solid meals a day and having regular bf every 4 hours or so. It was then that she started to 'self-wean' ie, I would offer a bf and she would reject. So, here we are at 12 months and I feed her once in the morning and once before bed. However, she has started to reject these feeds also.
Last week, I found out I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I thought that maybe she can sense a change in hormones or milk, making her reluctant? Could there be any truth in this theory?
Secondly, all my friends, with little ones the same age, are either using follow-on or regular milk morning and evening. Can I be sure that the nutrition my dd's getting is equal to this?
I'm finding this stage of things a little confusing to say the least. Any thoughts would be really appreciated.

The funding opportunity, tentatively titled "U.S. Wind Manufacturing: Taller Hub Heights to Access Higher Wind Resources, and Lower Cost of Energy" intends to support partnerships that lead to innovative designs and processes for wind turbine tower manufacturing and turbine system installation. Supported projects will develop technologies that mitigate U.S. transportation and logistics constraints affecting the deployment of taller utility-scale wind turbine systems with hub heights of at least 120 meters. Scaling to taller towers allows wind turbines to capture less turbulent and often stronger wind resources, thereby increasing the amount of U.S. land area that can cost-effectively support wind energy development.

As we age we get wiser for our experiences and knowledge, but it is also an accepted fact that our body and organ system get much weaker and there may be little that we can do about it. As we hit the middle ages, we start to experience problems such as wrinkles or greying of hair and general fatigue and tiredness after a short amount of activity. However, the real trouble starts when major system dysfunctions, such as the eyes and the vision.
Simple things like reading a book or a newspaper may become major tasks and it may be time to realise that we may be suffering from presbyopia. Presbyopia is commonly known as farsightedness and this is a problem in which patients find it difficult to see objects clearly when they are too close to the eyes.
How it affects the eyes:
It is a common knowledge that the vision system works with the help of natural lenses and its focal point. When the focal point of vision falls on the lenses, you may be able to experience perfect vision, but when it starts to move slightly off the point you may experience problems in viewing regular things such as printed or written words or even the things on your phone or computer.
Experiencing blurred vision when you try to view closer objects occurs because the elasticity of the lens of the eyes changes and the focal length of the lens changes with it. However, there are a lot of treatment alternatives for the problem and people do not have to start feeling old just because they experience difficulty in vision.
The more conventional treatments for presbyopia include the use of glasses with a power of lens that help in correcting the vision and reading may become a favoured activity again. For those who find the use of glasses to be a hindrance in regular life may also opt for contact lens, which may be a more comfortable alternative for those who may not want to make their problem obvious to the world. In a lot of cases, the people who suffer from the problem of far-sightedness may also choose to undergo surgery for the problem so that it can be corrected completely and no other measures may have to be taken.
Health issues may be a regular occurrence as you advance in age and you may have to find alternatives and treatments that help ease out the situation, but it is most imperative to make sure that you take the best advice from a qualified and certified doctor so that you problem may be diagnosed correctly and you may be able to get treatment suggestions that may cater to your specific body and ailment needs.

Cataract is clouding of clear natural lens present inside the eye, this is a major cause of decreased vision in elderly. Cataracts can occur in one or both eyes, usually developing very slowly. Things look blurry, hazy, less colourful and less sharp with cataract.
Most cataracts are related to ageing, however many other factors can either increase the rate of formation or cause cataract formation.
Causes of Cataract Formation-
Ageing: Most common cause. As the proteins present in the lens of the eye degenerates over the years ( just like any other organ) cataract is formed. If you are having Diabetes or hypertension, the rate of formation gets accelerated.
Radiation: Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays, especially UV-B rays, results in cataract in your eyes. Wearing sunglasses in the daytime helps in slowing down the process of cataract.
Genes: Many genetic disorders can result in congenital cataract ( cataracts present since birth) or early formation. Like in Lowe syndrome or Down's syndrome.
Lifestyle Choices: Cigarette smoking, long hours of sun exposure regularly, antioxidant, poor diet etc. are responsible for the onset of cataract.
How To Detect Cataract?
Certain signs and symptoms suggest the existence of cataract in the eye. Depending on the type and level of cataract, problems in vision occurs. The main symptom is foggy cloudy vision as if seeing through a dirty glass window.
Other Symptoms are-
- inability to see clearly in bright light (during the day) which becomes better in dim light ( evening and night) and vice versa.
- watery, tired eyes - mild pain in and around eyes.
- yellow tinge in vision
- Halos around light bulbs or bright light.
If you are experiencing above symptoms and having problems in viewing things clearly, visit an ophthalmologist and get your eyes checked.

This peptide is a second complement component (C2), the physiological substrate for the proenzyme Cls, first complement component. The C1 component is a complex of the binding protein C1q and two proenzymes, C1r and C1s. The C1s protease of the C1 complex initiates the host defense pathway cleaving the C4 and C2 components to instigate a sequence of activation steps of other components of the complement system, culminating in the formation of the membrane attack complex, which induces cell lysis. This peptide employs DABCYL / EDANS as FRET pair.

Just in time for Valentine's Day: a French drama from an Iranian director about divorce and bitter feelings.
Pass the chocolates.
Actually, The Past will be welcomed by filmgoers who saw A Separation, the work of director Asghar Farhadi that two years ago won the Oscar for best foreign-language film.
Like that intense, absorbing drama of a marriage coming apart despite everyone's best intentions, The Past chronicles the pain and anger that boil over among adults and children whose lives have become hopelessly tangled.
The film slowly explains its characters' connections by dropping the viewer into the middle of their lives. An Iranian man, Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa), has traveled from Tehran to a large city in France where he is met at the airport by a Frenchwoman named Marie (Berenice Bejo). They smile but don't hug.
We learn that they are married but have been separated for four years. Ahmad has come to sign divorce papers and reluctantly agrees to stay in Marie's home, which she shares with her two daughters from a previous relationship and the young son of her live-in boyfriend, Samir (Tahar Rahim).
If that isn't sufficiently sticky, Marie's elder daughter, the teenage Lucie (Pauline Burlet), is going through a defiant streak. And Samir has a wife who has been in a coma for several months.
The Past evolves into a drama about resentful people acting out to hide what they feel. As the title implies, events in the past are damaging the present.
Ahmad proves himself a reasonable man who tries hard to help but might make matters worse, and Marie keeps exploding into wrathful outbursts against the children when they aren't the real source of her pain.
The absorbing film takes an ill-advised turn into melodrama in the final section and piles one improbable twist on another until the core of the domestic drama has been turned into an imitation of a criminal investigation.
That's a shame because Farhadi has an evident talent for mining the raw emotions of relationships gone sour. His new work didn't need all the excessive plotting he adds in the homestretch.
Still, most of The Past is worth seeing for its realistic portrayal of the agonies people put one another through.

we're singing "Sidewalks of New York" in our latest concerts, and there's a verse that uses the line "up in 'G'". anybody got any idea what that means and where it comes from?
here's the third verse:
Things have changed since those times,
Some are up in "G,"
Others, they are wand'rers,
But they all feel just like me;
here's the url where I found this particular version:

"up in 'G'". anybody got any idea what that means and where it comes from?
There were 2 versions of the the song, and only the 2nd includes the verse you have quoted containing the phrase "up in G".
That is an important clue. "G" didn't exist at the time the original version of "Sidewalks in New York" was created in the 1890's.
"Sidewalks of New York" was reprised in the 1920's as we see from this history:
"The song was originally written in the 1890's, and was used as a Presidential campaign theme in the 1920's. Here are two versions of the lyrics. The first is as performed by Mel Torme. The second from the Digital Traditions lyrics database."
The first New York subway was opened in 1904 and, by 1920, the New York subway system was celebrated as an engineering marvel of the world.
"G" is a reference to the "G" train which was an express train going to the end of the line.
This is an elegant metaphor for the 'gay blades' who are long past their prime and can no longer 'kick the light fantastic' on the sidewalks of New York. You need to read the 2 lines which follow the lines you quoted to pick up this meaning.
Things have changed since those times,
Some are up in "G,"
Others, they are wand'rers,
But they all feel just like me;
They'd part with all they've got,
could they once more walk
With their best girl and have a twirl
on the sidewalks of New York
The celebrated New York subway was known as "the street under the sidewalks of New York", so it was fitting that the reprise of "Sidewalks of New York" in the 1920's would pay tribute to the subway in this way.

I can buy the train ref.
"G" train riders STILL wish for better days:
"Of course fare increases and service cutbacks will affect every person who depends on mass transit. However, G train riders have already experienced a de facto fare hike in the form of drastic service cuts. Most of us are paying full fare for shortened, more crowded subway cars and unacceptable waiting intervals (10+ minutes during rush hour, simply inconceivable anywhere else in the system), and have lost our direct connection to the R train at Queens Plaza during the week -- all very difficult losses. To pay more for this level of substandard service -- and face additional planned service cutbacks -- adds insult to injury for G riders.
Service cutbacks and a fare increase will be hard on everyone who uses mass transit, but G riders have already been severely affected and therefore will be proportionately even more impacted if these proposed changes are realized. It's critical that G riders attend the MTA's public hearings and speak up! Please attend one of the following hearings; we especially need the MTA to hear from Brooklyn and Queens G train commuters!"

Speaking of subways
This just in from today's NY Times:
"New York City's recovery from the short crisis leapt forward this morning with the revival of subway service to all five boroughs. "All New York City Transit subways are running on or close to schedule," the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced in a recorded message."
Yes, but was the G train running late (as usual)?

I seem to recall that as "trip the lights fantastic." Always assuming my memory hasn't failed me, where does trip come from?

with out even looking it up, trip can be a voyage (going on a vacation trip) or a mis-step (my daughter tripped, and fell, and broke her ankle) for real! and it can also be 'moving brisk, or spritely'--trippingly not to mention all the drug realated 'trips' one can take.
to "trip the lights fantastic" is to walk (lightheartedly, spritely') along broadway-- (NY 'great white way' before neon lights made it multicolor!)--_________________________

"Up in G" has nothing to with with either subways (no one lives "in" a subway!) or prisons. It means doing very well.
"Away up in G" (also "way up in G" or "up in G") was a turn-of-the-century expression meaning "very high" -- as in G, the highest note of the A to G scale -- or by extension "very well."

Boyne Highlands Resort â Moor Course
Harbor Springs, Michigan
July 26 â 29, 2004
HARBOR SPRINGS, Mich. â Brandon Pike of Huntington, Ind., birdied the final two holes of the AJGA Boyne Highlands Junior, to outlast a pack of four other players and claim the Boys Division championship. Pike finished with a final-round 2-under-par 70 and earned his first American Junior Golf Association victory. Lisa Maunu of St. Thomas, Ontario, won the Girls Division, posting a 75 for her last round.Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the AJGA Boyne Highlands Junior was a 54-hole stroke play event being held at the Boyne Highlands Resort â Moor Course. The tournament featured 144 of the nationâs premier junior golfers from 17 states and Canada.Pike finished the week at 5-under-par 211, after recording first and second rounds of 74 and 67. Pike, whose previous best finish was a tie for 14th at the 2004 Subaru Open at Andover, relied on his putting to get him through the final round. âI got off to a shaky start on the front nine, but was able to ride my putter for birdies on Nos. 3, 5, and 8,â Pike said. â I shot a 33 on the front, which I was happy with, but then I bogeyed No. 10.âPikeâs roller coaster ride on the back nine would continue, as he bogeyed No. 13, birdied No. 14 and double bogeyed the par-4 16th. The drama would continue as Pike entered his final two holes. Both the challenging par-3 17th and the 523-yard par-5 18th, lay ahead of him.âAfter making double on No. 16, I figured I was out of it,â Pike commented. âI had no idea what everyone else was doing. My dad knew, but he didnât tell me until after the round. It was just a great finish." That finish included a birdie on No. 17 and another on 18. Pikeâs first shot on the long finishing hole went behind a tree and he was forced to hit from there. He was able to punch out into the fairway and then stuck his third shot within four feet of the flagstick. He followed that up by sinking his putt and securing the victory.âI played it smart on the final hole and just told myself I had to make four here,â Pike said. âThis win feels great. Iâve had a bit of a rough summer and to win a tournament like this one is huge.

"Classic Scorpions songs newly recorded by the actual lineup"? Then why isn't Uli John Roth in the lineup? And neither James Kottak nor Pawel Maciwoda played on any of the Scorps' truly classic albums...

Another utterly useless cash grab by a has-been band that should have retired decades ago.
Sad to see there are still people to care for such shit.
P.S. Sorry for the kinda elitist comment but when I see things like that, I can't help but think that some people are stuck in the past and to feel despise for old has-beens who still manage to draw attention only by their name, no matter how shitty the stuff they release is.
I bet anything you want they will only manage to shit on their classics.
