With Thousands Awaiting Transplants, Council to Discuss Expanding Organ Donation
There are about 8,000 people waiting for an organ transplant in the New York metropolitan area. Yet, the region had less than 250 people donate organs last year — a drop of 18 percent from 2009. That's according to the New York Organ Donor Network, which covers New York City, Long Island and Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Pike County, PA.
The New York City Council Committee on Health will meet Monday afternoon to discuss efforts to increase organ and tissue donation.
In December, New York City launched a federally funded pilot project in Manhattan aimed at expanding the donor pool. Currently, registered donors who die outside of a hospital setting are ineligible to donate. The pilot program allowed a special emergency response unit to approach families about donation after a loved one died of cardiac arrest outside of a hospital.
Representatives from the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation will testify about the pilot project at Monday's meeting. The Bloomberg administration indicated the program could be expanded to other parts of the city depending on results.
New York state, as a whole, lags behind much of the rest of the country when it comes to registering organ donors. Only 15 percent of New Yorkers are registered as donors, which is significantly lower than the national average of 40 percent and lower than neighboring New Jersey, which has 31 percent of state's residents registered as organ donors.
In July, state health commissioner Nirav Shah launched an initiative to increase donor enrollment, with part of its goal to allow online registry using electronic signature. New Yorkers sign-up online to be in the organ donation registry, but they are not technically enrolled in the program until they mail in a signed consent form.

DR. SCOTT COOk: Chiropractic care can be a treatment for severe arthritis
More than 46 million Americans suffer with some form of severe arthritis. That number is expected to climb to 67 million by 2030 as the population ages.
Arthritis is the most common cause of disability among 19 million adults in the United States. Its estimated annual cost to the health care system is $128 billion.
Arthritis is known by many names, but all of them indicate a condition that can be both painful and debilitating.
In some manifestations, it is an autoimmune disorder of the joints, for others abnormal bone growth (aka bone spurs), and yet in others, the cartilage wears out.
Arthritis is a disease that causes the joints to swell, resulting in pain, stiffness and loss of function, particularly in the hands, knees, feet, hips and spine.
Chiropractic has been proven remarkably effective in preventing and treating arthritis and its symptoms.
By correcting joint and spine restrictions and/or misalignments, chiropractors help increase range of motion in the body. These manipulations have been shown and proven to decrease fluid build-up in the joints that often accompanies arthritic conditions. Once the body moves with fewer restrictions, many of our patients tell us the need for pain-relieving medication lessens and often disappear altogether.
In general, the stiffness and pain that can result from various forms of arthritis can be alleviated with chiropractic treatment.
It offers a noninvasive method of maintaining physical health and addresses such conditions as arthritis in a way that will offer freedom of movement without the deteriorating effects that might come with medication.
It should be noted, I am not downplaying the value of arthritic medication because when it is needed, it can be of great benefit to the patient. It should also be stated that chiropractic adjustments are safe and painless when done correctly and performed by a professional.
Chiropractic and its complementary treatments, which can include therapies such as ultrasound and electrical muscle stimulation, are very effective in treating arthritis as well.
The use of electrical stimulation in chiropractic treatment is believed to stimulate pain-inhibiting chemicals in the human body, also known as endorphins, and block the nerve fibers that are responsible for pain.
Chiropractic as a regular treatment will also help prevent arthritis, or at least its damaging effects.
This form of prevention is probably the most crucial benefit in treating the disease.
Bringing chiropractic into the discussion of arthritis adds a dimension that opens up possibilities for maintaining an active lifestyle. It provides not only a resolution of chronic pain, but also the potential for addressing the disease with more flexible methods that focus on long-term health.
For most of the 20th century, many people believed that the diagnosis of arthritis necessarily came with the dreaded anticipation that normal activities would become a part of a previous life. With chiropractic and the benefits it provides, arthritis can become a manageable ailment that, along with exercise and a healthy diet, will no longer be feared.

The Wellbeing in Long-Term Conditions Research Development Group
is a new and rapidly expanding team within the Faculty of Health
and Social Care.
The aim of the group is to undertake and disseminate high
quality research studies which have distinct relevance to clinical
practice. We work nationally and internationally in collaboration
with public representatives, charitable organisations, partner
academic institutions, clinical colleagues and industry to achieve
our aims.
We have a particular interest how behavioural management
principles can be utilised to support people with long-term skin
conditions to self-manage as effectively as possible.

The Eczema Education Programme
We are working with colleagues at Bournemouth University to lead
a collaborative evaluation of the Eczema Education Programme. This
programme seeks to improve the education of parents of children
with atopic eczema.
The Programme is led by the St John's Institute of Dermatology
at the Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital Trust. In conjunction with
Lambeth Primary Care Trust, the initiative and study is being
rolled out across the borough. This is one of the largest eczema
education programmes in Europe, involving up to 750 parents across
53 health centres, and is nurse led.
The evaluation team is examining the patterns of referral and
areas such as the impact of child quality of life and parental self
efficacy. The project involves the development, testing and
finalising of the Parental Self-efficacy in Eczema Care Index
(PESECI). The evaluation work is being led by Professor Steven
Ersser with support from Dr Helen Farasat.
The programme and evaluation are supported by a grant of
£345,000 from the Guy's and St Thomas' Charitable Trust.
The EEP Programme is led by Karina Jackson, Consultant Nurse,
St.John's Institute of Dermatology London and the evaluation is led
by Professor Ersser, with the assistance of Dr Helen Farasat,
Visiting Research Fellow, University of Hull and Senior Lecturer in
Children's Nursing, Bournemouth University.
The Person–Centred Dermatology Self–Care Index – A new tool for
The Person–Centred Dermatology Self–Care Index (PeDeSI) is a
validated tool we have developed to help clinicians to make a
systematic and accurate assessment of the education and support
needs of adults with long–term skin conditions to enable them to
self–manage as effectively as possible.
It has been developed by Professor Ersser and Dr Cowdell in
collaboration with patient representatives and colleagues from
practice and industry and has been extensively tested in clinical
The Index has ten items and should be competed with patients to
enhance the concordance process. The index is accompanied by a user
guide which provides instructions of how it may be used most
The Person–Centred Dermatology Self–Care Index – Going
To maximise access to the PeDeSI an academic team led by Dr
Fiona Cowdell has worked with Cotoco, specialists in digital
technology and Julie van Onselen, Independent Dermatology
Specialist Nurse, to develop web-based support materials
specifically to develop people's competence and confidence to
manage their skin condition.
This enhancement has been largely funded by the Technology
Strategy Board. The software toolkit is an innovative way to
deliver personalised information that can be used by patients
wherever they are. The toolkit can also be used by healthcare
professionals, who may not be experts in dealing with the specific
condition. This system will have the capability to be used both on
and offline.
The web-based toolkit is designed to take the user on a journey
that starts with improving understanding of their condition,
through practical day to day management of it, and culminates in
producing a personalised action plan. A recent feasibility study
investigated the impact the toolkit using pre and post PeDeSI
A significant improvement in ability to self-manage was detected

Zinedine Zidane to the Galaxy? The rumors now are just too numerous to ignore: according to reports in Italy and the U.S., the France national team legend is in talks with Major League Soccer over a possible move to L.A. to play alongside David Beckham. Pending Zidane's decision to return to professional soccer, of course-the midfield wizard has repeatedly said he intends to stay retired.
Nevertheless, Ian Plenderleith, in a column for USSoccerPlayers.com, warns that the possible addition of Zidane to the L.A. Galaxy paints a worryingly reminiscent picture to the New York Cosmos
of the erstwhile North American Soccer League. As exciting as the prospect of having David Beckham, Landon Donovan and Zinedine Zidane on the same field sounds, this is exactly the path of the NASL's
Cosmos, who fielded a team comprised of Franz Beckenbauer, Giorgio Chinaglia and Pele. We all know what happened to the league from there: rapid expansion beyond the league's means led to an
eventual collapse.
Sure, these are different times. MLS is on more solid ground than the NASL-it will survive with or without Zidane-but Plenderleith worries that L.A. would dominate MLS
media coverage. One could argue it's already doing that, with the exception of the New York Red Bulls. But isn't that what MLS wanted anyway-to have its strongest franchises in the two biggest
soccer cities in the U.S? Wouldn't that also raise the profile of the whole league, lifting attendances and making MLS highlights on SportsCenter all the more frequent? Sure, but history has a way
of repeating itself, and as Plenderleith points out, the NASL eventually bankrupted itself trying to keep up with the spending power and media influence of the Cosmos.

Though you did not tell us, I believe you are using a 32-bit system,
which mean that depending on the combination of hardware and operating
system, a user process can get between 2 and about 3 GB of virtual
memory maximum. This is hardware (Intel, AMD, PowerPC, Sparc,
...)/operating system (Linux, UNIX, MAC OS X, Windows
98/Me/XP/Vista/Server2003...) dependent.
ClearSystemCache["Numeric"] or ClearSystemCache[] might help reclaiming
some memory.
Anyway, it is really hard to be specific without any hint about your
hardware, software, and the system you are trying to solve.
Say you are using Windows XP. AFAIK, the default/standard system
configuration of Windows XP Professional 32-bit edition allows only 2 GB
of memory per user process, i.e. each individual user/application
process will not be allowed by the operating system to request memory
over this 2 GB limit, even though the theoretical limit is 4 GB on a
32-bit system.
Now, there exist two switches for this version of Windows that allows
the system to allocate up to 3 GB per user process. See the following
articles [1, 2] to get detailed explanations and directions about how
to use them:
"On 32-bit versions of Windows, the /3GB parameter enables 4-gigabyte
(GB) random access memory (RAM) Tuning, a feature that enlarges the
user-mode virtual address space to 3 GB and restricts the kernel-mode
components to the remaining 1 GB. [1]"
Alone and/or combine with $HistoryLength=0 and ClearSystemCache[],
this might solve your memory issue.

Address Extension parameter",

Cassandra at the Wedding
Emily Cooke writes:
In Cassandra at the Wedding, Cassie can't bear 'marriage, conventions, stodginess, short-sightedness, self-delusion, betrayal'. Baker's characters are more than usually wary of the 'menacing mass of clichés that are thrust on us from the outside'. At least one of them considers suicide a serious alternative to a middling life. They feel themselves to be special, and some of them are.

|Kate Strum
Kate Strum is in her third year as an assistant coach at the University of Michigan. She works closely alongside head coach Mark Rothstein with U-M's first and second varsity eights and in 2010 led the second varsity eight to a sixth place finish at the 2010 NCAA Championships, the highest finish for a Michigan boat since 2005.
Prior to Michigan, Strum served as an assistant coach at Bucknell from 2006 through 2008. In 2008, she worked with the second varsity eight, leading the boat to a second-place finish at the Patriot League Championship, which contributed to the team's third consecutive league title. At the ECAC Metro Championships, the second varsity eight claimed first place, which along with the varsity eight and varsity four led to a sweep of the event and overall-points trophy for the second year in a row. In the team's first appearance at the Eastern Sprints, the second varsity eight finished ninth to contribute to a strong eighth-place finish among 18 teams. Furthermore, both Bucknell varsity eights traveled to England for the Women's Henley Regatta, where the second varsity eight beat the University College of Dublin to win the Reading Amateur Regatta and race at the historic Henley Women's Regatta.
In her first two years with the Bison, Strum guided Bucknell's varsity fours to unprecedented success in 2006 and 2007. The first varsity four won back-to-back Patriot League Championships in 2006 and 2007 and went on to win the ECAC Metro Championship in 2007, assisting with both the team's second straight Patriot League title and the overall points trophy at the ECAC.
Prior to arriving at Bucknell, Strum was an assistant coach for the women's rowing team at the University of California, Davis. Primarily a novice coach, Strum helped with the varsity squad and was the recruiting contact.
Strum started her coaching career with the Community Rowing Program at Yale University in 2002. She taught and coached rowing to students at the American School for the Deaf and Special Olympic athletes.
Strum is a 2003 graduate of Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, where she was both a rower and a coxswain. She was a team captain in 2003.

2012-13 UT Women's Basketball Schedule
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- After the Southeastern Conference Office unveiled this year's league schedule on Friday, first-year Tennessee Head Women's Basketball Coach Holly Warlick announced her team's 2012-13 slate. The Lady Volunteers once again appear to have one of the most difficult schedules in the nation.
The Big Orange women are slated to face 19 teams that saw postseason action a year ago. That group includes 16 teams that made the NCAA Tournament, two that played in the Women's National Invitation Tournament and another that competed in the Women's Basketball Invitational.
In addition to a 16-contest Southeastern Conference schedule, Tennessee will play 13 non-conference foes, including three teams that appeared in the 2012 NCAA Women's Final Four. Stanford and Notre Dame will visit Knoxville, while defending NCAA Champion Baylor will play host to the Lady Vols in Waco, Texas. After going on the road for NCAA First and Second Round games last season, UT will have an opportunity to return to its familiar role as host this season, with games being played March 23 and 25 at Thompson-Boling Arena.
"We're glad to finally have the schedule, and we're anxious to get started," Warlick said. "Our non-conference schedule is as tough as it has ever been, but I think our team is going to be up for the challenge.
"I'm excited for our fans to get to see us play the type of competition we have on the home schedule this year," Warlick said. "We hope those match-ups will attract some big crowds, and our fans will provide the kind of great atmosphere and support they always give our players."
Also lined up for non-league tilts at Thompson-Boling are North Carolina, Rutgers and Middle Tennessee, while first-time meetings are set with Rice, Alcorn State, which is coached by former Lady Vol Tonya Edwards, and Davidson. In addition to facing Baylor away from Knoxville, Tennessee also will play road contests at Chattanooga, Georgia Tech, Miami (Fla.) and Texas.
"We open up our first two games on the road at Chattanooga and at Georgia Tech, and that's going to be a huge challenge for us right off the bat," Warlick said. "We also play Texas and Baylor back-to-back on the road, and that's a tough swing for us as well."
This marks the fourth year of the 16-game SEC schedule for women's basketball and the first with 14 teams. The schedule is a single round robin with one permanent opponent and two random opponents. The permanent opponents are: Alabama - Auburn; Arkansas - Missouri; Florida - Georgia; Kentucky - South Carolina; LSU - Texas A&M; Ole Miss - Mississippi State; and Tennessee - Vanderbilt. The random opponents will change annually.
Missouri and Texas A&M grace UT's SEC schedule in their inaugural seasons as league members. Tennessee will face Mizzou, Auburn and Vanderbilt at home and on the road, and will have single contests against 10 other schools. The Lady Vols also will play host to Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Texas A&M and they also will travel to South Carolina, Florida, LSU, Arkansas and Kentucky.
"The SEC schedule is always going to be a challenge, whether you play the games in Knoxville or you play on the road," Warlick said. "It's one of the toughest conferences in the country, and the coaches and players are getting better every year.
"Last year eight SEC teams made the NCAA Tournament, and we add Missouri and Texas A&M, another NCAA team, this season. That just shows you how strong our conference is."
During the week of January 13-20, SEC member institutions will participate in the second annual "We Back Pat" Week. The week-long initiative is focused on bringing awareness and recognition to the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund of East Tennessee Foundation and its fight against Alzheimer's disease.
Tennessee opens up the 2012-13 campaign with a pair of exhibition contests against NCAA Division II schools, taking on Carson-Newman for the eighth-straight season on Nov. 1 and encountering Coker for the first time on Nov. 4. Coker is located in Hartsville, S.C., hometown of Lady Vol sophomore Jasmine Phillips
For the first time since 2004-05, the UT women will play their first two contests of the regular season away from Rocky Top, facing Chattanooga on Nov. 9 and Georgia Tech on Nov. 11. This will mark the 10th time the Lady Vols have played in Chattanooga and first time since 1988 that they've battled Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
After Rice makes its debut at Thompson-Boling on Nov. 15, Tennessee pays a return visit to Miami (Fla.) on Nov. 18 for a rematch of last year's inaugural meeting at The Summitt, won by the home team, 92-76. Then UT returns for three straight home games, facing Alcorn State on Nov. 25, Middle Tennessee on Nov. 28 and North Carolina on Dec. 2.
Two weeks after facing UNC, the Lady Vols will head to the Lone Star State for the 34th all-time meeting with Texas on Dec. 16 and a match-up vs. defending NCAA Champion Baylor on Dec. 18. Tennessee's 2012 campaign ended at the hands of the Lady Bears, 77-58, in the 2012 NCAA Des Moines Regional Final.
A three-game home stand completes the bulk of the Big Orange's non-conference slate. NCAA Final Four semifinalist Stanford is first on the itinerary, coming to town for a Dec. 22 showdown. Davidson and Rutgers will close out the 2012 portion of the schedule, playing UT on Dec. 28 and Dec. 30, respectively. The only other non-league foe is a traditional rival, as Notre Dame heads to Rocky Top for the 23rd all-time meeting between the schools. That game is part of ESPN2's Big Monday presented by Bud Light schedule and will tip off at 7 p.m. Eastern time on ESPN2.
The SEC home schedule includes two first-time visitors to Thompson-Boling Arena, as Missouri serves as Tennessee's second home league opponent on Jan. 10 and Texas A&M makes the journey to Knoxville on Feb. 28. The rest of the home SEC schedule includes Georgia on Jan. 6, Alabama on Jan. 20, Mississippi State on Jan. 31, Ole Miss on Feb. 10, Vanderbilt on Feb. 17 and Auburn on Feb. 21. The Alabama contest will be UT's "We Back Pat" game.
UT's league road itinerary includes the SEC opener vs. South Carolina on Jan. 3, followed by contests at Florida on Jan.13, Auburn on Jan. 17, Vanderbilt on Jan. 24, Missouri on Feb. 3, LSU on Feb. 7, Arkansas on Feb. 24 and Kentucky on March 3.
Postseason play will begin in Duluth, Ga., where Tennessee will try to defend its 2012 SEC Tournament title on March 6-10 at The Arena at Gwinnett Center. After the NCAA bracket is announced on March 18, UT will play host to the NCAA First and Second Rounds on March 23-25. The NCAA Regionals will be contested on March 30-April 4 in Norfolk, Va., Oklahoma City, Okla., Spokane, Wash., and Trenton, N.J., followed by the NCAA Final Four in New Orleans on April 7 and 9.
NOTE: The Tennessee Athletics Department will host a "Meet Your Seats" event at Thompson-Boling Arena on Sept. 6, before the public sale begins. On that day, fans can see the available inventory for both men's and women's basketball season tickets and "test drive" their seats. The event runs from 3-7 p.m. ET. Free parking will be available in the G-10 garage (directly east of the arena) and the ticket office will process all new orders on site. Season tickets for the public will go on sale Sept. 12 at 8:30 a.m. ET and can be selected via a 3D seat selection site at UTTIX.com.

The Chocolate Cake Sutra: Ingredients for a Sweet Life (edition 2007)

Work details
The Chocolate Cake Sutra: Ingredients for a Sweet Life by Geri Larkin
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Bubbly, fluffy Buddhist books tend to disagree with me. Even though Lama Surya Das and Brad Warner are talking about the same concepts, I'll take Warner's presentation any day of the week. So it's surprising that The Chocolate Cake Sutra has become one of my favorite modern books on the dharma, because Larkin is so exuberant in her descriptions of learning to recognize all the joy in the world that goes overlooked and it would have been so easy for her to merely turn out platitude after platitude. But Larkin writes about how Buddhism actually transforms practitioners, instead of selling it as some fantasy silver bullet that "guarantees" that they'll never have to experience sadness, jealousy, or irritation again. Rather, Larkin demonstrates how Buddhist practice transforms how we relate to these emotions when they arise, and how that in turn is the real key to living a more skillful life. While some of her anecdotes may come off as precious or slightly obnoxious to readers, I think this has more to do with the fact that she's writing about quintessential "you had to be there" situations in these cases, which are by definition impossible to convey properly to people who weren't there. But even with these moments, this is by far one of the better modern books on dharma out there. Do yourself a favor and give it a read.

Sony's first smartband in Taiwan launched
CNA Tuesday, May 6, 2014, 12:02 am TWN
TAIPEI -- Japan's Sony Mobile Communications announced its first smartband in Taiwan Monday, extending its leadership in the niche market of wearable computing devices to a new product category.
The Sony SmartBand SWR10 is waterproof and incorporates a removable core unit that contains advanced sensor technology that feels the wearers' movements and sends personal fitness data to their smartphones or tablets.
Sony Mobile began sales of the device exclusively through Web portal Yahoo-Kimo Inc. that day lasting through to May 8, at a cost of NT$3,990 (US$133). After May 8, it will be more widely available through various retail outlets.
The SWR10 can be paired with four Sony Xperia phones — the Z1, the Z1 Compact, the Z Ultra and the latest flagship Z2. It is also compatible with Android-based handsets from other brands, including the LG Nexus 5, the LG Nexus 4, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the Samsung Galaxy S4, the HTC One and the HTC One (M8).
Jonathan Lin, general manager of Sony Mobile's Taiwan branch, said the company has enjoyed brisk sales in Taiwan's wearable device market since it launched its first smartwatch in 2012.
"In the smart wear segment, such as watches, our market share is much higher than that of other communications brands," Lin said at a press conference announcing the SWR10.
"Based on our projections, our market share of smartbands should be also much higher than that of our competitors," he said, adding that such products will remain a niche market in the short-term until a wearable device ecosystem supported by Google Inc. becomes mature.
Google officially made inroads into the wearable market March 18 when it announced Android Wear, a version of its Android operating system designed specifically for wearable devices.
The Internet search giant said in a blog post that it has already been working with several consumer electronics manufacturers, including Asustek, HTC, LG, Motorola and Samsung, as well as chipmakers Broadcom, Imagination, Intel, MediaTek and Qualcomm, to launch watches powered by Android Wear later this year.
Taiwanese computer maker Acer Inc. also unveiled its first wearable device at a press conference in New York April 29. The Acer Liquid Leap smartband is expected to go on sale in only a few markets in late July or early August, the company said.

Internet Cupids often miss their mark: researchers
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Combing dating websites for that perfect love match can be very frustrating, and a group of U.S. psychology professors released a report on Monday explaining why there is no substitute for meeting face-to-face.
"Online dating is a terrific addition for singles to meet. That said, there are two problems," report author Eli Finkel, an associate professor of psychology at Northwestern University, said in an interview.
First, poring over seemingly endless lists of profiles of people one does not know, as on Match.com, does not reveal much about them. Second, it "overloads people and they end up shutting down," Finkel said.
He compared it to shopping at "supermarkets of love" and said psychological research shows people presented with too many choices tend to make lazy and often poor decisions.
The study's authors also questioned the algorithms employed by sites such as eHarmony.com to match people based on their interests or personality - comparing it to having a real estate agent of love.
While the algorithm may reduce the number of potential partners from thousands to a few, they have never met and may be as incompatible as two people meeting at random, Finkel said, adding the odds are no better than finding a relationship by strolling into any bar.
"Eighty years of relationship science has reliably shown you can't predict whether a relationship succeeds based on information about people who are unaware of each other," he said.
The algorithms are proprietary and were not shared with the researchers. "The assumption is they work. We reviewed the literature and feel safe to conclude they do not," he said.
He dismissed the dating websites' own studies on their success as unscientific, and said there are as yet no objective, data-driven studies of online dating. The researchers reviewed the literature on online dating and compared it to previous research. Continued...

A/B testing your email campaigns
A/B testing, also known as split testing, is a way of working out which of two campaign options is the most effective in terms of encouraging opens or clicks.
In an A/B test you set up two variations of the one campaign and send them to a small percentage of your total recipients. Half of the test group is sent Version A and the other half gets Version B. The result, measured by the most opens or clicks, determines the winning campaign and that version is sent to the remaining subscribers.
On this page:
- A/B test types
- Choose recipients
- Define test settings
- Test before you start the test
- Monitor A/B test results
Important: When an A/B test is in progress you can't change the campaigns in any way, so be sure to test thoroughly before you start a split test. If you've made a mistake in an A/B test and want to cancel it before the rest of the emails are sent out, please contact support as quickly as possible.
A/B test types
You can split test an email campaign in one of three ways. To get started open Campaigns, click Create a new campaign, then select A/B test as shown here:
The three test types are explained below:
Subject line
For this test, campaign version A and B are identical except for the subject line. For example, you could test to see if a generic subject gets more opens than a longer subject line that's more specific:
Or, some more examples:
- Test two completely different topics as the subject line, to see what content is of most interest to subscribers.
- Add personalization to identical subject lines to see if a first name greeting, for example, gets a better response.
- See what kind of promotion works best by offering "Free Shipping" versus "15% Off."
From name
Sender details are important because many people will not open an email if they don't recognize who it's from. With the From name test you can use a different name and email address for Version A versus Version B, as shown below, or just change one or the other.
The best approach depends on your relationship to the subscriber. Consider if they are more likely to recognize an individual's name, your company name, or the product name your campaigns are about.
Email content
This is to test different elements of the campaign itself, for example: section titles, article length, calls-to-action, header images and more. You might even test two completely different designs to see which one gets the most clicks.
Campaigns for this type of test can be created using one of your saved templates or designed externally and imported (if that option is available to you). If you're doing an email content test, follow the on-screen instructions to set up Version A first. After that, you'll be prompted to repeat the process to set up Version B.
Tip: If you're using the same template and only making minor changes to content, save time by copying the content from Version A to create Version B. You can do so by selecting your version A content from the top left corner of the template library under Recent emails, as shown here:
Choose recipients
When both versions of the campaign are set up you'll be prompted to choose the subscriber list, or lists, to send to. If new subscribers are added to a list after the A/B test has started they will not be sent the campaign. Any subscribers added while a test is in progress will have to be targeted separately.
Define test settings
The next step is selecting the size of your test group, deciding how the winner will be chosen, and setting a length of time to run the test.
Test group size
Use the slider to define a test group, which should be small subset of your recipients, say 20-30%. Recipients in the test group are selected randomly. Half of them will be sent Version A while the other half are sent Version B. The remaining recipients will be sent the winning version.
When you start a test we send all emails (version A and B) to the test group at the same time. And when a winner is decided we send the winning version to all remaining recipients at the same time, too.
How will the winner be decided?
Select either Open rate, Total unique clicks or Total clicks on a selected link as the performance metric for your test. You can't change the metric after a test has started but you can monitor activity for all three metrics while the test is in progress, as shown here:
Test run time
The length of time you can run an A/B test is from one hour, up to five days. There's also the option to manually select a winner while the test is in progress.
Test before you start the test
It's very important to test and check for errors of any kind before you start an A/B test because you cannot make any campaign changes when an A/B test is in progress.
To double-check everything you've set up so far, we summarize it for you in a campaign snapshot (pictured below). If you need to change something just click the the Edit buttons on the right:
Tip: If you're testing email content using a template-based campaign, the snapshot is where you can check the plain text version of your emails. What looks great as HTML might need a little work as text-only. Click Preview to see how they look and edit to make changes, as highlighted above.
When you're satisfied that everything is good to go click Test and define delivery. Run a Quick test to send yourself previews of both versions or click Full test to run a fully automated design and spam test.
Send now or schedule for later
You can start the A/B test immediately or select Schedule it to start at the following time, as shown here:
If you schedule the test to start later, we'll send you an email notification when it starts.
Monitor A/B test results
While a test is in progress you can monitor results with the A/B test report, which looks like this:
The graph makes it easy to see which version of the campaign is winning, according to the performance metric you've chosen: open rate, total unique clicks, or total clicks on a selected link. Below the graph you can also see which version is winning for the two metrics you didn't select.
For some A/B tests there's a clear winner before the test time is up. On the report page, pictured above, you can see the time remaining and a link to manually select the winner. Click this to choose the winner yourself and end the test early.
After a winner has been decided, through test completion or manual selection, the remaining recipients will be sent the winning version and a full campaign report will become available. The A/B test results are included in the full report so you can revisit them when designing your next campaign.
If you let the test run to completion we'll send you an email notification as soon as it's finished. If the two versions are tied at the end of the test, version A will be sent to the rest of the list.

Pirates notebook: Reds' Phillips reiterates racial accusation
The Reds' Brandon Phillips doubled down on his charge that Pirates reliever Jared Hughes made a racial slur during the game Monday.
In an interview with NBC's "SportsTalk," Phillips told Erik Kuselias that Hughes "said what he said" after Phillips was hit by a pitch. Phillips said it was the first time he had heard a player make a racist comment on the field during a game.
When Kuselias pressed Phillips to confirm Hughes made an offensive remark, Phillips paused and said, "He did. That's what we talked about. If you want to know what he said, you should ask him." Phillips said he forgave Hughes during their phone conversation Tuesday.
Hughes said Wednesday he was surprised and frustrated by Phillips' comments to NBC.
"I did not say those things he is saying I said," Hughes said. "I did not make any comment with a racial undertone or connotation during our exchange on Monday night — period. While I cannot repeat everything that I said because I did swear, it is obvious when reviewing the tape that I in no way, shape or form made any remark that was in any way connected to race. It is not how I was raised and not who I am as a person."
• Third baseman Pedro Alvarez was scratched from the lineup Wednesday with what the team described as "right wrist discomfort." He will be re-evaluated Friday.
• Second baseman Neil Walker (lower back tightness) was given Wednesday and Thursday off from baseball activities. "We'll see where we are Friday" when the Pirates open a four-game set against the Cubs, manager Clint Hurdle said. Walker has been out since Aug. 27, and at this point there is nothing to do but wait for his soreness to clear up. "We have sought out the proper medical attention," Hurdle said. "It's taking time. There are some people who think that, with what he's dealing with, it's moving faster than some so-called medical experts have anticipated."
• Right-hander Jeff Karstens (sore hip pointer) will be available out of the bullpen during the Cubs series. If Karstens goes back into the rotation, it probably won't happen until the Sept. 21-23 series against the Astros in Houston.
• It is not certain that left-hander Jeff Locke will remain in the rotation the rest of the season. "We are open-minded to change," Hurdle said. "That doesn't mean Locke won't (stay in the rotation)." Hurdle added management would like to give righty Kyle McPherson at least one start before the season is over.

Banging cashiers is a bad idea. All salesman do coke. Managers don't care about anything but numbers for the month.
I've worked at dealers my whole life. Also salesman come and go like crazy. My 3 years at mercedes I seen at least 100 people come work or us

I'll add to practice "step selling" if your dealer is into that and/or practices it. Aloways keep a pocket full of change so that you can buy drinks for your customers (if you dealer doesn't have free stuff) and keep stuff for kids (candy, cheap knick knacks, etc.). Befriend your service department guys/gals so that they can help you out if you need to get something taken care of right away. I still take my cars to my old store to get serviced because we got along well and they hook me up. I also used to make sure that I bought my customers a keychain or something small for their cars and that always seemed to go over well (I got the stuff on a discount, so it was ridiculously cheap). If you smoke, don't do it around the customer.
I sold Kia's for a few months and there really was no training - they just thew me on the floor and said go to it. I averaged about 20-25 cars a month (which was good according to them) and I just spent my own time reading up on the products so that I could answer questions from the customer. Every dealership and/or car brand seem to have their own way of doing things. A buddy of mine who worked at a VW dealer said he actually got training for a month, so I guess it just depends.
It's funny that I was a mechanic there and knew more about the operation of the place then the general manager did. Fun times tho

the mad conductor pretty much said it all...except, bang the cashier, just don't marry her. Wear a condom.
When the seasoned techs tell you to jump, you should already be midair.
and at least try and find the repair instructions before you ask questions
I nailed all of them. Word got around and situations got sticky. But not as sticky as their hair was
Just mind your own business and you will do ok. 👍👍

Listen to the experienced guys. Stay away from the guys or gals that are always negative and complain all the time. A big huge toolbox doesn't mean that they are the best tech. Keep your area clean and keep the customers car clean.
Oh yeah. Bang the cashier right before she quits!!!
those cashiers are always hot as hell, especially the latinas.

There are no more trades, no more whining about injuries and no more second chances come September.
Scoreboard-watching will become a favorite post- (and occasionally during-) game activity.
And the game's top players will submit closing arguments in their bids for end-of-season awards.
This year, two races in particular will be fun to follow throughout the month.
Derrek Lee, Albert Pujols and Andruw Jones are clearly the cream of the crop. With his hot start, Lee has dominated the discussion from Opening Day and he's shown no signs of letting up. However, Pujols and Jones are closing fast and leading their teams toward the playoffs at the same time.
On numbers alone, Lee is the clear-cut choice.
He's no longer in line to win the NL Triple Crown, but heading into Tuesday's games Lee was still tops in the league in hitting, was second to Jones in homers and fourth behind Jones, Pujols and Carlos Lee in RBI.
A look beyond the major statistical categories shows exactly how valuable Lee has been this season, leading the NL in slugging percentage, on-base percentage, hits, doubles and total bases. Even as the Cubs have fallen out of the playoff chase, Lee has continued to crush the ball.
In the latest USA TODAY Sports Weekly rankings, I put Lee first, Pujols second and Jones third in the MVP balloting.
But in September, everything can change. It's almost as if the final month of the season counts double.
For example, Chipper Jones hit four home runs in a three-game September sweep of the New York Mets and turned the 1999 NL MVP race upside down. The Braves went on to win yet another division title and Jones collected 29 of 32 first-place votes from the Baseball Writers Association of America to outdistance Jeff Bagwell and Matt Williams.
In 2002, the clutch hitting of Oakland's Miguel Tejada helped the A's hold off the Angels for the AL West title. In back-to-back September games, Tejada drove in the winning run to cement his status — even though the defending league MVP, Alex Rodriguez, put up better numbers.
Tejada finished with a .308 average, 34 homers and 131 RBI — compared to Rodriguez's .300, 57 and 142.
A Jonesian power-hitting display in dispatching a playoff rival or a Tejada-like outburst of clutch hitting could tip the scales this season in favor of Pujols or Jones. But at this point, it's Lee's award to win.
AL Cy Young
A line drive up the middle in a Blue Jays-Rangers game on July 8 probably cost Toronto's Roy Halladay his second Cy Young Award. Halladay was the class of the AL to that point, posting a 12-4 record and a 2.41 ERA.
Since then, no one's really taken over as the dominant pitcher in the league.
For a while it was Jon Garland, then it was White Sox teammate Mark Buehrle. Now, it looks like the Angels' Bartolo Colon is poised to grab the honor.
Colon leads the league with 17 wins, including five already this month. He pitches tonight against Barry Zito and the A's as the two AL West rivals begin a three-game series.
I have Colon first, Buehrle second and Garland third.
If Colon can come close to duplicating his August numbers (5-0, 1.91 ERA) in September and lead the Angels to the playoffs, he'll be a cinch for the award.
If not, watch out for the Yankees' Mariano Rivera — who has quietly been enjoying another outstanding year. He's well on his way to another 40-save season and his 1.44 ERA would be a career best.
Rivera has been a key component as the Yankees have fought their way back into the playoff picture. His success in October is legendary. A little of that magic a month earlier just might make him the second reliever in 13 years to win a Cy Young Award.
Certainly, September is the time when playoff spots are won and lost. It's the same for the major awards.

The universe has been quite literally writing upon humans for many thousands of years, and our alphabets are among the traits that nature has carved in order to cross our minds. Wild lands have caught deeper trails in my life than I will ever be able to make in the forest.Joe Meeker†
All living things sustain each other. All living things depend upon death not as an end, an absolute completion, but as a beginning of a new rhythm, a way of fulfillment in passing on the restless force of life.Edmund Cooper
Land, then, is not merely soil; it is a fountain of energy flowing through a circuit of soils, plants, and animals. Food chains are the living channels which conduct energy upward; death and decay return it to the soil. The circuit is not closed; some energy is dissipated in decay, some is added by absorption from the air, some is stored in soils, peats, and long-lived forests; but it is a sustained circuit, like a slowly augmented revolving fund of life.Aldo Leopold
Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.Henry David
We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.Paulo Coelho
Why does love, even such love as he claims to practise, need the spectacle of beauty to bring it to life? What, in the abstract, do shapely legs have to do with love, or for that matter with desire? Or is that just the nature of nature, about which one does not ask questions?John Maxwell Coetzee
Give us the luxuries of life and we'll dispense with the necessaries.Oliver Wendell Holmes
Luxury is the first, second and third cause of the ruin of republics. It is the vampire which soothes us into a fatal slumber while it sucks the lifeblood of our veins.Edward Payson
Luxury is the first, second and third cause of the ruin of republics. It is the vampire which soothes us into a fatal slumber while it sucks the lifeblood of our veins.Edward Payson
There's nothing deeper than love. In fairy tales, the princesses kiss the frogs, and the frogs become princes. In real life, the princesses kiss princes, and the princes turn into frogs.Paulo Coelho
The great purpose is to set aside a reasonable part of the vanishing wilderness, to make certain that generations of Americans yet unborn will know what it is to experience life on undeveloped, unoccupied land in the same form and character as the Creator fashioned it... It is a great spiritual experience. I never knew a man who took a bedroll into an Idaho mountainside and slept there under a star-studded summer sky who felt self-important that next morning. Unless we preserve some opportunity for future generations to have the same experience, we shall have dishonored our trustFrank Church†
The earth's vegetation is part of a web of life in which there are intimate and essential relations between plants and the earth, between plants and other plants, between plants and animals. Sometimes we have no choice but to disturb these relationships, but we should do so thoughtfully, with full awareness that what we do may have consequences remote in time and place.Rachel Carson†
The shore is an ancient world, for as long as there has been an earth and sea there has been this place of the meeting of land and water. Yet it is a world that keeps alive the sense of continuing creation and of the relentless drive of life. Each time that I enter it, I gain some new awareness of its beauty and its deeper meanings, sensing that intricate fabric of life by which one creature is linked with another, and each with its surroundings... There is a common thread that links these scenes and memories -- the spectacle of life in all its varied manifestations as it has appeared, evolved, and sometimes died out. Underlying the beauty of the spectacle there is meaning and significance. It is the elusiveness of that meaning that haunts us, that sends us again and again into the natural world where the key to the riddle is hidden. It sends us back to the edge of the sea, where the drama of life played its first scene on earth and perhaps even its prelude; where the forces of evolution are at work today, as they have been since the appearance of what we know as life; and where the spectacle of living creatures faced by the cosmic realities of their world is crystal clear.Rachel Carson
If we are to have broad-thinking men and women of high mentality, of good physique and with a true perspective on life, we must allow our populace a communion with nature in areas of more or less wilderness condition.Arthur Carhart†

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The room was spacious, very modern, clean and comfortable. The food at the hotel was also excellent.
lovely old village with beautiful houses
Pleasant small hotel in a charming Alsacian village, just a short detour from the Reims-Strassbourg autoroute. Good in-house restaurant. No bad points.
Silence. Free parking. Location.
Friendly welcome.Central location and charming setting.
A very friendly and welcoming hotel. Knowledgeable and helpful staff and excellent food. The room was very comfortable.
The Host, good wit and humour good local knowledge no
Selection of breakfast options At the time of our brief stay one side of the building was swathed in building works
All the staff were very friendly and coped with our suspect language skills adequately. Food was good both evening and breakfast. Had some considerable trouble finding the hotel asthe road signs in and around saverne leave something to be desired.
very good restaurant
The food was excellent. Scenery beautiful. Lovely indoor swimming pool. No swimming towels provided
The hotel is family run with a great atmosphere, very relaxed. Nothing is to much trouble to make your stay a memorable one.Food and wine exellent. Hotel is very clean. Views from hotel wonderful
Although the hotel was some distance away from our travelling route, it's setting in beautiful scenery made the detour very worthwhile. No.
Arrived late when reception closed but receptionist helped to make it possible for us to access our rooms. Above average breakfast and staff were ready for us early. None to mention
More a small holiday home than a hotel bedroom. Lots of space, small kitchen, dining table and chairs. No late check-in.
The location is excellent and one could self-cater or dine at the in- house restaurant. Ours was a Studio roome with the advantages of a Gite and a hotel rolled into one. We were there for 12 nights and enjoyed every moment. Sports facilities including swimming near by. Wasselonne village is close by and the people are great. We were a little close to the kitchen and with the weather being warm noise came through the open door of the kitchen. Not a big problem.
We were disappointed initially as the hotel's terrace did not look anything like it's picture. The views are very limited. However, we enjoyed our stay and for the price, it was very comfortable and near some lovely areas. Wasselonne is a lovely little town. We had a E23 meal at the hotel which was excellent value.
Large room , friendly staff , good location close to Strasbourg and Vosges mountains. Room looks much nicer on pics than in reality ; outside urgently needs a repaint
Very friendly and helpful staff (owner). Good location near the Alsace Wine Route. Delicious dinner accompanied by some good wine. All at a very acceptable price. If you are planning to use the bikes for rent (mentioned on the website) don't expect much. The exterior of the hotel could take some refreshing.
The apartment arrangement was particularly good for a family with teenagers or younger children. Not really equipped for full meal making but enough for breakfast and snacks all day long. BBQ facilities for the summer and a pretty outside sitting area for the room added to the sense of freedom. Very quiet and peacefull with very kind staff, although you do need some French or German to ease your way. The only thing that could make the place even better would be a lick of paint or varnish. The outside seemed a bit neglected, but this was only cosmetic. Everything was clean and the inside of the rooms and the main areas were fine.
the room had a fridge and microwave with seating area which we were not expecting and we found it very useful for this trip the view from the hotel resaurant varender was beautiful N/A
The room was large, clean and comfortable. It was an older property but was in pretty good shape. It was a great place for families.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 28831436:MV8xNTYxMjQwXzM0Nzk1MzE5XzYxOEJEQTFG] The Asian superman you seek will be the reincarnation of Jacob/Israel. I believe the Tui Bei Tu prophecy, as well as some Nostradamus prophecies were based on Isaiah 41: [quote:Isaiah 41] 1 Keep silence before me, [b]O islands[/b]; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. 2 [b]Who raised up the righteous man from the east[/b], called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. 3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet. 4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he. [b]5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. 8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. 9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.[/b] [/quote] This prophecy talks about a righteous man from the east, living in the middle of several islands, at the "ends of the earth". Since Israel is part of the Asian continent, the "ends of the earth" would refer to the easternmost end of the Asian continent. This easternmost part of the Asian continent will become the most sacred part of the earth, because there is where I believe the New Jerusalem will be planted. Here are my thoughts regarding the New Jerusalem. Since I believe Jacob/Israel will be present during the last days, and that he will be called from [i]the esternmost end of the Asian continent[/i] where there are many islands, the New Jerusalem (which is a city coming down from heaven), will most likely be planted near where he lives. Now here are some facts about the geometry of the New Jerusalem: [quote:wikipedia] In Revelation 21:16, the angel measures the city with a golden rod or reed, and records it as 12,000 stadia by 12,000 stadia at the base, and 12,000 stadia high. A stadion is usually stated as 185 meters, or 607 feet, so the base has dimensions of about 2220 km by 2220 km, or 1380 miles by 1380 miles. In the ancient Greek system of measurement, the base of the New Jerusalem would have been equal to 144 million square stadia, 4.9 million square kilometers or 1.9 million square miles. If rested on the Earth, its ceiling would be inside the exosphere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jerusalem#Geometry [/quote] This city will be so high, that its ceiling would be inside the exosphere (where the atmosphere will be so thin) if rested on the earth's surface. The only way to avoid this problem is for the the base of the city to be planted [i]below sea level[/i], and the sea where the city is planted will be dried up. [quote:Revelation 21] 1 Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth," for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, [i]and there was no longer any sea[/i]. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. [/quote] The sea located at the easternmost end of the Asian continent which is [i]wide enough and deep enough [/i]for the New Jerusalem to be planted in is the Philippine Sea: [quote:wikipedia] The Philippine Sea is a marginal sea east and north of the Philippines occupying an estimated surface area of 2 million mi² (5 million km²) on the western part of the North Pacific Ocean. Another prominent feature of the Philippine Sea is the presence of deep sea trenches, among them the Philippine Trench and the Mariana Trench, containing [i]the deepest point on the planet.[/i] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Sea [/quote] Note that the Philippine sea has an estimated surface are of 5 million square kilometers and that the base of the New Jerusalem would have been equal to 4.9 million square kilometers, and that is almost an exact fit! Here is a picture of the Philippine Sea: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/61/Philippine_Sea_location.jpg [/quote]
Original Message
i wanted to create a separate thread based on this glp
Thread: Chinese are preparing for nuclear war because of an ancient prophecy book Tui Bei Tu
and "Tui Bei Tu" I Ching prophecy poems link:
link to www.alexchiu.com
what drew my attention to the above glp thread is poem
number 57 which occurs after WW3 nuclear/sub/ufo war
between USA & China.
poem 57 predicts:
"In an extreme situation, things turn around. A three-feet tall kid, made all foreigners bow down.
When Blue West and Red East struggle, a son of God appears, a gentleman who brings peace and stops the killing.
This unbelievable genius is from the middle of the two, westernized and thus ended all wars for good."
the picture on the poem 57 card shows an image of a boy pouring out the fire with water. (aquarius)
what got me standing straight up in my chair at full
attention was that there is an obscure illuminati
riddle/prophecy that the one who will take the spear of
destiny and plunge it into satan and defeat him and
deliver him before jesus christ as a footstool will
be "born of the chosin, but not chosin". or better
interpretation, some illuminists believe that one day,
a person will be born in korea who will one day
defeat their god king, satan, when he is here walking
the earth among men (quetzcoatl).
indeed, these I Ching prophecy poems may be the
origin of this illuminati legend.
from what i can interpret from poem 57, it looks like
the "3 feet tall kid" is some kind of descriptive
riddle as to the identity of the korean superman/savior
and not the actual height of the korean superman/savior
as no one would listen to a midget (sorry). korean adults
are short, but not that short.
what we are clearly looking for is some sort of
full blooded korean adult male (gentleman), who is a
genuine learned christian (shepherdschapel), has
high emotional intelligence along with book smarts,
and who is also americanized (either american citizen,
or immigrant). he will be a native english speaker
because an american leader with a foreign accent would
never be accepted by the american people.
the term "from the middle of the two" can only mean
korean as korea is the only qualified nation between
china and the usa. there is no way china could accept
a peacemaker coming from japan and japan is a dying
people anyway. in addition, there is no way the
peacemaker could be caucasian because china would never
trust a peace brokered by a white european.
the illuminati would never endorse a true peace between
the usa and china as they don't share power. therefore,
this korean superman/savior would have to defeat the
illuminati cockroaches in the usa and then broker the
peace with china (china would trust the word of one of
their korean brethren).
furthermore, because the inference in the poem 57
prophesy that this korean superman/savior is
enlightened and american, i therefore can conjecture
that this korean superbeing kwisatz haderach surfs
thus, if you are a korean adult male who conforms loosely
to the above parameters, please post in this thread
and make your presence known. in fact, if you are korean
at all, regardless of geographic location, please post
in this thread. if you are friends with a korean adult
male that conforms loosely to the above parameters, please
also post.
because the "Tui Bei Tu" poem prophesies seem
to have an excellent track record, i am now in search of
the prophesied korean superman/savior who will bring
balance to the force.
from my own personal experience, most of the koreans
i have come across are wankers, so this prophecy to me
is extremely extremely unlikely. however, the prophecy is
what it is and it does have a track record. if we can
locate him, then i want to get on his bandwagon early.

Garza delivers Rattlers win with walkoff double
Wisconsin tops Kane County 8-7
By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers | August 27, 2013 12:55 PM ET
GRAND CHUTE, WI - Mike Garza kept the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on a hot streak. Garza knocked in the winning run with a two-out double in the bottom of the ninth inning for an 8-7 victory over the Kane County Cougars on Tuesday afternoon. The victory was the third straight for Wisconsin and their fifth win over their last six games. Wisconsin's seventh "walkoff" win of the season also kept their playoff hopes alive heading into the final two series of the regular season.
The teams kept trading runs in the early innings.
Kane County (52-77 overall, 22-41 second half) got on the board in the first inning. Giuseppe Papaccio reached on an error with one out. Jeimer Candelario doubled to put runners on second and third. Rock Shoulders followed with a single to drive in Papaccio.
The Rattlers (59-70, 30-34) loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the first inning. Garza's hard grounder to short was bobbled for an error to let Alfredo Rodriguez score from third.
Kane County went back in front in the top of the second inning. Oliver Zapata's run scoring fielder's choice drove in the first run of the inning. Pappacio followed with an RBI single for a 3-1 lead.
The Rattlers responded with three runs on no hits in the bottom of the second. Dustin Houle drew a walk and the Cougars committed an error on a double play ball off the bat of Chris McFarland. Rodriguez was asked to bunt and he made a good one up the third base line for a sacrifice. Papaccio threw to first, but no one was covering the base. The ball rolled down the line in right allowing Houle and McFarland to score and Rodriguez to take third base. Tyrone Taylor put the Rattlers up 4-3 with a sacrifice fly.
The Cougars came right back to tie the game in the top of the third. Carlos Escobar singled and Marco Hernandez doubled to put runners on second and third with no outs. A single by Jose Dore drove in Escobar. The inning could have been much worse. Rattlers starting pitcher Jorge Lopez hit Reggie Golden to load the bases with no outs. But, a shallow fly to right and a 1-6-3 double play ended the inning without another crossing the plate.
Houle and McFarland started another Wisconsin rally in the bottom of the fourth. Houle singled and McFarland walked to chase Kane County starting pitcher Nathan Dorris from the game. Rodriguez greeted reliever Justin Amlung with a bloop single to center to load the bases. Michael Reed grounded into a 4-3 double play to get the lead run home. Taylor followed with an RBI single to knock in McFarland for a 6-4 advantage.
Lopez got the first two outs in the top of the fifth. But, Dore doubled to extend the inning. Then, Golden lined a home run just to the right of the batter's eye. The two-run shot tied the game 6-6.
Houle started another rally for Wisconsin with a leadoff double to the gap in right center in the bottom of the eighth against reliever Matt Iannazzo. An error on the play - the sixth error of the game charged to Kane County - allowed him to take third base. Michael Haman took over for Iannazzo and got the first out. Then, Taylor sent a fly ball to center that was deep enough to score Houle from third with the run to put the Rattlers up 7-6.
But, Kane County came back to tie the game in the top of the ninth. Jeimer Candelario worked the count to 3-2 against Jono Armold and hit a leadoff homer to right to make the score 7-7.
Taylor started the Wisconsin ninth with a bunt single. Hamann got the next two outs to bring Garza to the plate. Hamann made several throws over to first base to try and keep Taylor close. Taylor took off on a 1-1 pitch and Garza lined that pitch into the right field corner. Taylor cruised home and the Rattlers celebrated the win..
The Timber Rattlers moved to within 1-1/2 games of the Clinton LumberKings for the second half Western Division Wild Card spot. Clinton plays at Beloit on Tuesday night at 7:00pm. A loss by Clinton let the Rattlers move to within a game of the LumberKings with six games remaining in the regular season.
The Timber Rattlers welcome the Quad Cities River Bandits to town on Wednesday night. Austin Ross (2-0, 2.79) is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Timber Rattlers. Quad Cities has sends Chris Devenski (3-3, 4.82) to the mound. Game time is 7:05pm.

And you thought I meant a new truck :no: Finished the sheath last night so this is my new hunting rig. Sorry for the camera quality.
Looking good HM:thumbup:
Boy for starting this hobby not all that long ago you are making some beautiful pieces Darrell!!!
I'd like to know how you find the time to do all this stuff HM
Thanks for the comments. If there is one thing I've learned, only has taken 59 years, is that time is what you make it or with it. I'm mostly a homebody and find contentment working in the garage for a few hours or for that matter in the kitchen on the counter top dying leather :unsure: Someday it would be nice to make a few dollars just to recoup materials. Right now, son, and hunting buddies are getting gifts.:rolleyes: I do need the etching machine though to make my mark. Haven't decided what to put on the blades. Something like HM, Hunting Man knives or my initials??? I think it would really cool to design the blades and grind them also, takes more machine investments. Right now the blades I like are D-2 steel and are about 38.00. So a high grade handle material, 30-50.00, and the blade, pins, tubes ect and you are aproaching 100.00 in materials. Guys are selling knives at 150-200 for nice stuff and I'm not in their ball league. Not a lot of profit so you had better enjoy it. We'll see how far this goes???
I love hunting, i'm your buddy, i like gifts.... ???
I thought you didn't like me :confused:
Yeah I am your Buddy HM
going back to the memory post HM you may not remember but Tator calls you OLD all the time :lol:
ya I remember everything Tator said!!! :yes:
