Pirates Add Jose Contreras, Option Jared Hughes
Jose Contreras has been added to the Pirates' roster.
As expected, the Pittsburgh Pirates have selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Jose Contreras. To make room, they've optioned Jared Hughes to Triple-A.
We heard earlier in the week that Contreras would be added to the roster on Friday. He's been throwing well in the minors, featuring a nasty fork ball. I talked about the impact Contreras could have in the bullpen in today's podcast.
It's a bit of a surprise that Jared Hughes was sent down. He's been inconsistent this year, so it's not a surprise from a performance standpoint. It is a surprise that he would go before Vin Mazzaro or Bryan Morris. Especially Morris, since Morris always seems to be the last in and first out when bullpen moves are made.
In the next two we...

Britain's banks might be offering the stingiest ISA interest rates in years this spring, but borrowers are benefiting from some of the cheapest and longest credit-card deals on record.
Availability of balance transfer credit cards, where customers can switch old debts to a new card and there are no or low interest charges, has risen from 52 cards on the market in 2009 to 73 today.
"Borrowers looking to pay down expensive credit-card debts have never had so much choice," says Andrew Hagger of Moneycomms.co.uk. Tesco Bank shot to the top of the best-buy tables last week after launching a balance transfer deal stretching over 25 months — only for Barclaycard to steal the position hours later with its Platinum Card allowing borrowers to defer paying interest for 26 months.
Other deals include Halifax — offering 25 months — and Nationwide, which gives borrowers 20 months without paying interest. Santander has a 17-month 0% interest deal.
Given that the average interest rate on a standard credit card is now 18.1%, borrowers who switch to a 0% deal can make significant savings.
Shifting £3000 debt to that Barclaycard Platinum credit card would save £1177 in interest over the 26 months. But there are other costs involved. Fees are charged as a percentage of the total loan, usually between 2% and 3%. Barclaycard's Platinum card has 3.5% for a 26-month deal.
"So if you borrowed £3000 interest free with Barclaycard, your only cost would be the £105 (3.5%) balance transfer fee," says Hagger. "Paying off £119.42 per month for 26 months, the balance and fee would be cleared with no interest charges to pay. But if you wanted to clear a £3000 balance on a card at 18.1% in 26 months, you'd have to pay £139 per month — working out £509 more expensive than the other card."
Barclaycard also allows customers to avoid paying interest on any credit-card purchases for the first six months, while Tesco and Halifax do the same for half that time.
But watch out: some banks won't let customers shift debts within the same group — MBNA, for example, covers other brands such as AA and Virgin Atlantic credit cards. Halifax and Bank of Scotland, and RBS and NatWest have the same policy.
Always try to pay off debts during the interest-free period, as rates soar at the end. At the very least, meet the minimum payments.
"If you exceed your limit or miss a monthly payment, card providers use this as a handy get-out clause to terminate the introductory promotional deal on the spot," Hagger warns.
Some borrowers could also struggle to secure the deals. "You will need very good credit record to get the best deals," Hagger adds.
"And if yours doesn't meet the criteria, you may be offered a shorter 0% deal, possibly a higher interest rate and also a fairly small credit limit. Others will find applications declined."
Borrowers in that boat could secure cheap loans or low-interest-rate credit cards. The current cheapest plastic is Sainsbury's Bank, charging 6.9%.
"Rate for life" credit cards from MBNA, at 5.9% interest until they are repaid, and AA credit cards, which are at 6.9% until repaid, offer the certainty of a fixed rate for as long as it takes to clear the transferred balance.

The Calaveras County Sheriff's Department Volunteer Unit was formed in 1989 to assist the Sheriff's Department with administrative and other duties within the department. The unit was assigned to the Crime Prevention unit under the leadership and direction of DeputyJim Stenquist who was instrumental in organizing and developing the new unit. The volunteers selected for the pilot program were the late Dick German and his wife Helen of Murphys. The Germans had been active in many volunteer programs and had administrative backgrounds.
Geri Bojarski who retired as a municipal court clerk in Newhall was elected as the first Volunteer Lieutenant. Other volunteers included Mike Mikesell; John and Virginia Tremaine, Chuck Fleming, Carl Cain, Lloyd Bumpus and James Moody/ Initial training sessions included familiarization with Sheriff's Department operation and developing guidelines for the unit. Some of the first duties included department manual updating, clerical duties, telephone procedures and other administrative duties.
In 1990 the volunteer unit took on the task of updating the department's business emergency notification program and completed that task by telephonic survey. Other duties at that time included Neighborhood Watch presentations, child fingerprinting programs, and foot patrol duties at community events, radio procedures, and general crime prevention programs such as residential and commercial building security, personal safety for seniors, operation identification and other public awareness programs.
In 1991 the volunteer unit became a uniformed unit, making them more visible to the public. The 13 volunteers which made up the unit at that time took another large step when they began assisting the department with courtroom security in such jobs as manning the court metal detector and rooftop security for high profile cases most notably the Charles Ng mass murder case. Other duties included assisting the county jail by observing inmates while in the exercise yard.
Highlights of 1991 also included a first place ribbon at the county fair for their participation in presenting drug awareness and other programs to the citizens who attended the fair.
The 2010 Volunteer Unit presently has 25 sworn members (19 patrol certified and 6 office volunteers). They staff and operate 5 Sheriff Substations. Volunteers routinely patrol throughout the county with 7 Volunteer marked patrol cars. In 2009, they patrolled 43,139 miles and donated 10,087 hours of volunteer time. In 2011, the 23 volunteers donated 9557 hours and patrolled 43,785 miles.
The volunteer is a vital part of your Calaveras Sheriff's Department and its dedicated members have proven for over 22 years that:

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 reviewBy Kevin Carter - Tuesday July 02 2013 Sensor Review
Introduction | Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 sensor performance | Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 vs competition | Conclusion
With an overall DxOMark Sensor Score of 61 points, the MFT format Live MOS sensor of the Lumix DMC-G6 performs well in general terms, but it not at the bleeding edge of MFT sensor technology or image performance. The individual metric scores, for instance, are competitive with the physically smaller CX-format sensor in the 14-Mpix Nikon 1 V2 with +2/3 stop advantage for Low-Light and DR and around +1 stop advantage in Color Depth, but that's not exactly comparing like-for-like sensors.

What percentage of total buyers do you thing special order?
It may be true that many buyers who frequent this forum special ordered, because forum participants are probably more picky than the average BMW buyer. However, this picky buyer bought from dealer inventory because they had exactly the options that I wanted. No more, no less. Things like nappa leather or specific color combinations generally require ordering from factory. It also depends on how much patience one has. Once I have decided to buy (after many, many months of research and test driving) it would be hard to order a car and then wait 8+ weeks.

I keep staying here and it's like my home base in Des Moines
Friendly helpful staff ready to provide assistance and guidance. Found the location in close proximity to the the airport and interstate. Dining was not the best in the vicinity of the hotel (not the hotels fault) but found the hotel's restaurant especially the breakfast to be exceptional. The breakfast wait staff were among the best I've experienced at a hotel restaurant. The suites could use an upgrade/redecoration.
The beds were super comfortable! The bathroom was tiny and the room was very noisy. We stayed on the 3rd floor and had a steady stream of noise from the elevators and traffic on 235.
Close to Downtown Des Moines and the interstate. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast buffet was pretty good, and everything was very clean. Our room had a great view of downtown. The room was sweltering hot the whole time (85 degrees). The staff said you could open the window, but it seemed to be locked shut with no way to open it. Thankfully one of the staff was kind enough to give us the box fan from the front desk.
Big room. Clean and friendly staff Limited parking
Very clean, the pool was warm which was a plus. The guy in the breakfast area was a little over the top. He was a bit growley pushing people through like cattle.
The room was clean. Breakfast included was very well done. Lots of great options offered and food was fresh. Not well updated. No ice machine in whole building. Existing ice machine has obviously been out service for weeks. There was actual dust. Room was not a good value.
everyone there was very friendly. many amenity. very clean I cant say anything bad. it was awesome
Location to Airport, Cleanliness, staff was fantastic!!!!!!
even though this is not a 4 star or a 5 star hotel the staff from day one went above and beyond to make me and my guest feel comfortable. on days that we really did not want to get going early in the morning it was nice to just lounge around there at the hotel and then in the afternoon go sightseeing. the front desk lady by the name of Lindsey was fantastic. she was awesome and really caring we actually became friends while I was staying there.
It was a privilege to stay here. The staff was friendly abd nice, the room amazing. The hit breakfast was better then I expected. Overall awesome place.
Not fancy, but very clean and quiet with good amenities.
Mistakes in room service meal
location to downtown activities were great. Rude Manager that would not honor an email I received that confirmed a sleeper sofa. We were up charged for a roll a way bed. The staff was not knowledgeable about downtown events or directions.
Big rooms Break fast, parking
Beautiful rooms Fireplace Chef at breakfast to make omelette and waffles to order Great breakfast selection Parking garage across the street
Warm, European feel Cold fries with room service meal
Large, clean room Good people
The email for preferences was perfect!
The room was so luxurious & the staff was amazing! The free breakfast was delicious! We loved staying at the Hyatt! Would definitely recommend & stay there again! The difficult parking, didn't find a spot & had to use valet
Friendly and helpful staff - both front desk and valet; helpful with directions and made a couple of good restaurant recommendations; Location convenient for an event my wife and I attended during our stay and the valet shuttle included at no additional cost was helpful. Nice breakfast offerings. While I got lucky with a dynamite parking spot in front of the hotel for the weekend and didn't need to move my car, the notion of valet parking for $15 per night was distasteful (I know it can be much more in major coastal cities). Sunday morning breakfast should not end at 10 a.m. - it should run at least until 11.
it was a beautiful hotel, superior service, with very spacious rooms I wish it could be more affordable, I would definitely stay more often.
Old, tired and filthy
Easy access, good price. Nice bathrooms. Pillows could be better.
It was a really nice place to stay very elegant!!! That it wasn't enough time or half set aside time for adults to use the pool area!!!
Teen age help around the swimming pool did not appreciate a dachshund walking with a leach.
Tiki bar is always welcome. Kids, of course, had a blast in the waterpark. Front desk handled my hodgepodge of booking details without a hiccup - Brian is awesome to deal with. Staff was *VERY* strict this time. We have been coming to this hotel for years and never heard this much yelling & whistle-blowing. Not sure if there's been an incident here recently or what. My 4yr old was going down the water slides w/o issue all day long then halfway through the day got kicked off for being too little. Every time we come it seems more and more of the pirate ship is broken down and not functioning, this time it was the tunnel through the middle which my kids have always enjoyed in the past. The water was pretty cold compared to previous years as well. I saw staff taking towels out of the "dirty towels here" bins and re-folding/rolling them to stack on the shelves.
Love the refrigerator and microwave. Love the water slides and pool area. It wasn't too cold lime some hotels. The tiled walk in shower was really nice. Awesome shower head. I wish I would have known the hot tub wad broken when I made the reservation.
Everything about this hotel was fantastic! New construction and facilities made for a great stay. The staff was respectful and accommodating in every possible fashion. Thrilled to have been able to stay here and be so close to downtown Des Moines for the Des Moines marathon! If I come back to downtown Des Moines for a weekend getaway this will be where I stay.
New so spotless, but located close to train tracks. And the trains come through overnight. We were there in February, and our fourth-floor room was overly warm. Had to turn on A/C! Our double room was smallish, but had a great river view. Staff is best feature -- courteous, solicitous and friendly. I called later about an item we left behind. They located it and helped arrange to ship it back to us. I would stay again.
The hotel was beautiful and in a great location, my room also had a great view!
I just spent the one night, but everything was nice and clean. Also the view of the river was great. I would stay here again.
Todo fue muy bueno. La Atencion del personal fueron muy ate tons en especial la del area del de saying muy cordial.
Comfortable beds. Nice assortment on breakfast bar. The hot foods weren't as hot as they should be. Didn't see yogurt or much fruit to choose from.
Staff was helpful and very friendly. Cleaning staff did an excellent job. My Window was cracked and had duct tape covering it. Metal mouse trap under table in breakfast room. Gross! Outer buildings falling apart.
Friendly staff, right off the highway and not too far from a nice pool hall. Shower head was terrible, sink's drain was busted. It's a no smoking hotel.
Nobody stays there Keys never work, terrible cleaning service, unfriendly staff
Strangely cool, retro atrium area. Not worth anywhere near the money we paid. Really nothing to do in the nearby area, and the hotel is in desperate need of renovation. Staff was a bit "ho-hum" about everything. Pool was freezing cold and way too deep for younger kids - 9'0" in the deep end, going down sharply from 3'0" in the shallow end. My daughter is an intermediate swimmer and was confined to 1/3rd of the pool due to the depth. The "Video Arcade" features mostly broken games and there is no change machine. The term "Restaurant" is also a strong word.
Room was clean and accomidating. Room was not completely stocked with the typical complimentary hygiene items, only had to ask but was inconvenient for bathing.
Besides being close to the airport and having a "free" breakfast, I really cannot say anything good about this place. The room smelled, the pool was too cold to even swim in, and it was over priced.
It was very quiet and the staff was very pleasant. It is also convenient to the airport and has free shuttle service.
Location right across airport Offer free shuttle Great breakfast Clean bug room Was able to hear big planes take off
Good location, friendly staff, prompt housekeeping. No swimming pool, there was one advertised. Oddly shaped and non ergonomic room layout.
Updated classic hotel. Clean, great staff, quiet, close to everything. The only thing on the downside is I couldn't stay longer.
Great value for a clean, comfortable room. It's not the nicest hotel, but they have thought of the essentials. The hotel is right by the airport, which was great for our early departure. Otherwise, it's about 15-20 minutes to get into the downtown area but the drive is easy. Everything was pretty nice. If I had to comment on one thing, the room appeared updated but the bathroom was a bit dated. It was still clean and functional, but cramped for my wife and I.
My room was right across from the ice machine and it was very loud. I would put a door on the ice machine area and put a more sound proof door on the those rooms
Very noisy location (near freeway), and very loud all night: music, foot traffic on balcony, etc. Room door was already open when I got there. Older facility in need of external update. Basic Motel 6 room on the inside, but I wouldn't stay here again.
clean room The room was clean the bed was bad the help was fine but the exterior was filthy . The stair rails were very filthy an the whole outside area was generally "crappy"
The room was clean and had no problems. It seems like a sketchy area, didn't feel completely safe as a woman traveling by myself.
I didn't get robbed.
was a one night stay a place to lay your head. in and out on the way to someplace else. clean and close to the freeway arrived late was harder to find a parking spot thye had parkking just harder to find a spot I liked.
Toilet was hard to flush without pushing down real hard. Shower u had to let the water run for 10 to 20 mins just for it to get hot. Stains on the carpet. No screen to leave your window open.
It was located near a hyvee. Cleanliness could be improved.
Location Cleanness of the room, no shampoo or conditioner, no iron board; iron $10 deposit. The smell of the room
The staff was nice, polite. Beds were awful, the ac did not pull the mold smell, or cool the room very much.
Proximity to the airport, cheap, nice staff. The room's filth level puts your average frat house basement to shame. The police were roaming around in the morning, I assume to serve some warrants. This is definitely the type of place you'd find people with outstanding warrants hanging out.
beds were comfortable, requests to front desk were handled promptly booked one night by company and one by self- had to checkout and then checkin again-why can't the hotel take care of this if staying 2 nights? business meeting was in basement room which was crowded 1st day and not well lit when moved to a larger room the following(lights out)-no breakfast offered- comparative hotels had at least a continental breakfast- street lights/stop lights at night prevented curtains from being open as flashing, fellow attendee at meeting found bed bug on her shoe before going to lunch- front desk said someone else must have brought it in and not to worry as they wouldn't leave in conference areas?? did not have issue in our room as checked but still concerned as to other areas in hotel
The staff were nice I asked to be placed by my self on and end, I was placed right by the office. I let that slide. I paid a 26.00 deposit to bring my dog with me, she is generally very quite; however, due to the non stop foot traffic all night, the lady screaming in the lobby, the tweakers all over the place trying to get into my car she barked at every noise most of the night. When I left I was covered with red bite marks down both of my legs. My dog and her blanket were also covered. I have to wash and use extreme heat to dry everything as well as having my dog bathed and her kennel cleaned. I was very disappointed in my experience at the specific Eccono Lodge. I will not be staying here again, ever.
Friendly staff. Bad odor in room. Stains on carpet. Dead bugs on window sill.

An instruction to "up the mateship and increase the larrikinism" in an account of Australians in World War I came at the cost of the role women played in the war, according to Sydney historian Caroline Viera Jones.
Likewise, she says, the Henry Lawson poem For'ard was tweaked by an editor to endorse mateship at the cost of a woman's reputation.
Ms Jones, an editor and historian, had noted the Australian story was littered with the feats of men, and wondered whether editors and publishers, rather than the writers themselves, were responsible for the women missing in action.
In the early manuscript version's of C.E.W. Bean's epic 12 volumes on Australians in the Great War, women were present, both as battlefield nurses and back in Australia, until publisher George Robertson, of Angus and Robertson, instructed Bean to "up the mateship and increase the larrikinism".
"With Bean, by encouraging a great narrative, the everyday lives of women were excluded from the first chapter and women were pushed to Volume 11 on the home front," said Ms Jones, a Nancy Keesing Fellow at the State Library of NSW, who is about to submit her PhD on the subject.
And when the feats of nurses were written about, they were not indexed, she said. So, to locate their contribution, one had to think laterally and reference hospital ships.
For Ms Jones, the question of the editor's power arose when she was interviewed for a job of Australianising the Encarta encyclopedia.
" 'What would you do to make it Australian?' I was asked. It made me realise how much it's the editor's choice," she said.
In her study, she focused specifically on Angus & Robertson because "most of the Australian icons like The Man from Snowy River, the Anzac legend and the larrikin spirit came through them".
"The publishing house can manufacture national myths and legends through a careful selection of authors and subtle manipulation of their manuscripts," she said. "When people read Lawson or Bean they see it at face value."
Readers do not see the hand of the editor shaping the work. In Lawson's poem For'ard, written at the time women in New Zealand became the first to get the vote, the line "An influence of women revolutionised the world" became "The sense of human kinship revolutionised the world" after editorial tinkering.

Hello! I'm looking for a blog, magazine, portfolio template that has these features:
- The template should have the opportunity to multiple blog accounts, giving them their own blog where they can post, create categories and upload their own logo and images to their posts. Check example on (http://urbanstyle.se and press in to "BLOGGAR") - A portfolio of different categories, preferably with dates.
- It should be modern and very simple in design.
I've been looking for an eternity but there seems to be none of this.

On Sunday December 22nd, Fairview Township Police assisted Santa with making some early deliveries. Police Officers volunteered to escort Santa to local residences where there were kids who could use a little more Christmas cheer. The police department partnered with North Shore Friends in locating some families having a difficult time this holiday season and arranged for the deliveries. Through this event, over 65 kids and one senior citizen received gifts from Santa. North Shore Friends arranged similar deliveries recently in other nearby communities as well, providing presents to hundreds of kids. The Fairview Township Police Department feels that giving these kids a better Christmas is just one more way we can serve our community.
This and the other events would not have been possible without the assistance of North Shore Friends. North Shore Friends is a non-profit organization who's goal is to help underprivileged kids in York, Cumberland, Perry, and Dauphin Counties. Funding of this program is made possible through business and community donations, as well as various fund raising events. For more information on North Shore Friends, including learning how to donate to this worthwhile organization, please visit nsf4kids.org .

Dear Partners in Ministry:
Hot and sticky, Hot and dry but this is coupled with cool mornings and cold iced drinks so we can't complain too much. School break and the Hot Season are upon us but God has touched us with much hope over the past month and that sustains us.
We did a round of end of school parties that meant more this year, as we won't be coming back next year. Still the school break hasn't meant a slow down in the work. Many people have requested special summer programs and more people have free time to come and chat. Many meetings are scheduled for the break and we ask for your prayers as we do a lot of traveling.
Last month we asked you to pray for the community of Ban Faa where we were building an exercise course and play area. It is finished and we have been enjoying exercising there but even more, getting to know the people in the surrounding area. We asked you to pray for one man that was showing interest in the Gospel. He invited us over to his house one night and we were able to share the gospel with him and about a dozen of his friends that he had invited to hear our presentation. It felt very good to be able to share the gospel openly and directly and not in veiled words as we had been invited expressly to do that.
* Please continue to pray that as we follow up these people they will eventually turn their lives over to the Lord.
In July to November we will be coming to the States for US/Puerto Rico assignment and hopefully will be speaking in your churches and meeting lots of you. If you would like to have us visit your church please contact the Minister of Mission Support in region office and ask to have it scheduled. Also this time we will be asking churches and individuals to support us in the ministry here. This is a new thing for International Ministries and for us.
* Please pray for us as we adjust to the new style.
Prayer Points
* For travel as we go to meetings around the country.
* For the witness in Ban Faa
* For guidance as we plan teaching materials to be used while we are gone.
With our love and thanks for your partnership,
Larry & Jan

How to nicely say, I am POed, and you hurt my feelings??
I am not sure how to tell dad, that what he is doing me is hurting my feelings and the longer and longer I put it off the angrier I get.
Background: Yesterday dad asks me to clean the house (which I do all the time anyway, but dad does not put his dirty dishes in sink, or put anything away in a matter of a few hours, the house is a disaster again). I said, well you know all the mess is yours right? He says oh yeah, I know, I just need you to do it today by 8 because my fiance is coming over. I say okay because I was going to actually clean it anyway because I can't handle the mess.
Then he texts me later oh, we are going to be there soooner, is it done? Well yes, its done, I even did some deocrating for xmas.
They get home, make a ginger bread house, eat it, trash the house, leave their chinese food sit out all night and all day together, left dishes with food on counter, all the candy and icing is all over the place, I mean its just a mess!
They were here today, and still did not clean it.
Wayne thinks I should leave it, but I do that all the time, and it sits and sits and sits for weeks sometimes!
He takes advantage of me. Leaves the mess because he knows I will clean it. Does not even say thanks.
So, now I have decided for now I will not be cleaning for dad when he asks. Even the bathroom, he shaves and leaves his hair all over the sink for days and days til he shaves again and then its worse, and I have to clean it if say, I have friends coming over.
Now, I know this seems selfish, just clean the stupid house, Ash. But I am sick of him walking all over me, and I am putting a stop to it.
I pay him rent to, so why is it I have to take care of everything that has to do with the house. I am a neat freak. All my stuff is always put away.
Okay, so now, I am not going to do it anymore, but do I let dad know how I feel? If so, how?? I am not sure?? I never tell anyone how I feel. I am not sure how to do it, and I am not sure how to say it??
Can anyone give me tips on how to tell someone that what they did made you mad and its rude, without being rude yourself?

I agree with you in the fact you are going to need to sit down with Dad and have a heart to heart mature talk. Think about what you want to achieve in the talk, and start to set clear boundaries for yourself and the cleaning etc.
From my perspective, knowing only the little you write it seems that your fathers fiancée is very young, living at home maybe? If so it seems she loves coming over to your Dads and they "play house", get take out, eat what you have bought, have fun, make a mess then she goes home where there is someone to pick up after her, and you are left to pick up there. Not really sure how you can fix that with them or their relationship, only they can. All you can do is start to read some good books on dysfunctional families, boundaries, and I hate to say it but toxic relationships with people. I am not saying they are dysfunctional or toxic but their behavior can be interpreted as that at times. All you can do is work on you, being healthy and having healthy relationships and boundaries and that doesn't mean it is not ok to help Dad once in awhile , take pride in the house, help keep it clean but being Cinderella while they party like its is 1999, and they are playing house like teeny boppers is not healthy for you. How much you want to say and get into with him since you are moving soon only you can decide! He is going to have bigger problems with this marriage, if he and fiancee can't even clean up take out....lol
Keep your chin up hon, work on you and your relationship with your husband and Dad in a healthy way, set goals and boundaries, and be way to busy to clean up after them. Maybe politely request their help when she is over, after talking to Dad. Good luck to you.11-28-2010, 06:46 PM #5

Put your foot down. That fiance is going to get a rude awakening when you are not there and sees what a slob your dad is. And she is the one cooking and cleaning both of thier messes up.
You pay rent, you are not a maid.11-28-2010, 07:50 PM #9
i would put all the mess into a trash bag trash or not and leave it on his bed to sort thru ( which worked great for my oldest dd hen she was 17) ..... IF it as my house he was messing up - but its his house so - i would have to say to him i charge so much per hour for cleaning services that are not messes i made or everyday cleaning someone does as part of a household ( Ie YOUR GF and YOUR dinner messes ) .
ask for reduced rent or they clean up after themselves .11-28-2010, 08:45 PM #10
I would go down to the HUD office and get my name on the housing list.I do not think your situation is going to change a bit until you get out. I would not stop to think if it is right or wrong, good or bad, or analyze and pick it to pieces.I learned to swim by jumping into the water. I had friends to stand by, and there is a social support network in place to help you.Jump Ashley.11-28-2010, 08:48 PM #11
Put it all in a bag or a box and set it neatly somewhere in his room. Heck, stuff it under his bed if you have to. make sure it's all theirs though. Dishes and all. Start using only your own dishes, wash those and put those neatly in your own room. Eventually his roo will smell like a sty and he and his lady will either have to clean it or stop being there. Either way, you win.
That may not be the most practical advice I have but it is one that would give me the most satisfaction. But then again I am a little snarky this time of year11-28-2010, 08:51 PM #1211-28-2010, 09:48 PM #13

Putting it into his room will start a confrontation. And you don't have anywhere to go currently. I would tape a polite note to his door regarding picking up his mess. He may and he may not. I like the HUD idea. You can't clear your mind and move forward w/ all that going on.11-29-2010, 12:33 AM #1411-29-2010, 12:35 AM #15

Boris Johnson will fly to India tomorrow on a trade mission that he hopes will "break down doors" for London businesses.
The Mayor will travel to Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai on the week-long trip and meet politicians and business leaders.
His packed itinerary, released today, reveals visits to airports, temples and new underground metro systems, as well as speeches on higher education and the global economy.
A series of high-powered business events and a visit to the Bombay Stock Exchange also feature. He will see a slum project in Mumbai, meet Bollywood producers and appear on national television.
Mr Johnson has even found time to meet the England cricket team to give them a morale boost as they enter the second leg of their Indian tour.
The Mayor will be accompanied by captains of industry including the bosses of Standard Life, Berkeley Homes, John Lewis, Blackstone financial services and Serco India. The chairman of Film London, movie producer David Parfitt, and London Underground's director of capital programmes, David Waboso, are also going.
Executives from Deloitte, KPMG and British Airways will join the Mayor as he travels round the country. However, Mr Johnson denied that the trip was a Prime Ministerial-style venture that would be more appropriate for David Cameron or William Hague.
"No, it's definitely not. It is my job. They know it's going on and of course it's supported by the Government. We're there to bat for Britain as well as for London," he told the Standard.
"The real reason is that it's something business always asks you to do. It's one of those things they all say is valuable to them. They always say London must be represented. We do want you to help build contacts, break down doors. There are huge opportunities. Although it seems obvious, unless you get out there and see what potential there is, you'll never really know."
He laughed away suggestions that he would be mobbed by hordes of adoring fans after his global profile was boosted by the Olympics and claimed that "blissful anonymity" would descend.
Mr Johnson has attacked former Labour mayor Ken Livingstone for extravagant trips to India, China and Cuba and two years ago he mothballed City Hall's offices in Delhi and Mumbai. But he said: "I do think it is important to build relations but if you look at the respective costs to the Greater London Authority of the operations they are very different.
"My opposition was to spending a lot on PR consultants to handle the whole thing and chorus lines of bowler hatted beefeaterettes or whatever the hell it was. We're not doing that. We're doing a much more economical version."
He promised he would "look again" at the decision to close the GLA's Indian offices but added: "I'm not guaranteeing I'm going to reopen them. Our impression was that you could do it in a more cost effective way. What they want is engagement with London business people and this kind of mission." Mr Johnson agreed Britain had a "special relationship" with India but said it would be a "mistake" to "bang on" about our shared history.
"It's the things we can do together now that are important. But you cannot make any presumptions about any foreign market these days. We'd be mad to be complacent or to think we have got some special hold on the affections of people in India just because of a shared language, that's just not how it works.
"They're going to see what we've got to offer and see what we've got to sell and see where the opportunities are. People are very hard headed. I'm not certain that sentiment counts for an awful lot," he said.
Mr Johnson, whose wife Marina is half Indian, has visited family there four or five times. He revealed that his favourite curry houses in London are Raj Moni and Gufaa in Upper Street in Islington.

The winter months...indoor projects completed!
A quick run through, not only the winte,r but basically projects from July onwards. The house was in decent shape when we moved in, but was an estate sale and had been empty about 3 years. It was definitely laid out in a way too traditional style, small accordion doors into the dining room, which was carpeted, and the main level was not laid out with movement in mind, so we opened up a wall along the dining room, and replaced alot of wood paneling with fresh drywall.
Everything except the kitchen countertops was DIY, we used some pretty expensive Silestone, so I left that to the pros. (If they break it, they buy it)
Here are a few quick before/after shots of the main rooms....
Restained kitchen cabinets with new countertops...
Media room, No I didnt trash the shelving, it is all mounted in the garage, and it works a treat...
Latest project, the office with built in shelving...
Lots of days, work, home to work, dinner, sleep, repeat. But always fun!
Hit the picture limit for the before and after of the dining room wall...
I really like what you did with your cabinets. Are they oak? If so, how did you go about re-staining them? Would enjoy hearing your thoughts/advice, etc.
Yes, I believe that they are oak. Although the cabinets are veneered plywood.
I used a gelcoat stain on them since they werea already stained with a golden oak color.
We used MinWax Gel Stain Brazilian Rosewood for the two base coats, and MinWax Urethane for the top coat(I believe Spar Urethane, but have to check). You can really fine tune the gloss of the urethane based on how thick you lay it on.
I removed all of the doors, hand sanded the detail and DA'd the large flat sections, then tacked the whole door. 150 before the first coat and 220 before the second. I did not sand between the final gel coat and the urethane. I definitely requires two coats of gel stain when its this dark.
Everything came out better than expected and I'll try to post a better picture this evening.
I had no previous experience with gel stains, but this product was fairly easy to use. My family owned a paint company growing up, and my father had alot of good things to say about this product when you are applying over old stains.
I've had trouble finding that particular color at the big box stores(I brought the originial with me from the paint store when we moved form Virignia to Texas), but was able to locate it at Sherwin-Williams.
Those all look awesome, well done!
Awesome job

What you say is absolutely true Polaris. People need to know everything about their teaching gigs before they buy a plane ticket and come here to China. The links you gave would have prevented me from coming to China had I seen them a few months ago. Also here are some good tips for teachers exploring the China option. Be sure to read this before you sign any contracts and before you leave your homeland:

Programmers often want to connect computers to display units other than those used in normal operations. Reasons include:
- projection on a screen for group work in a meeting, conference, exhibition, sales presentation, or so on;
- extra pixels for hard work: programmers are demonstrably more productive the more addressable real estate they can manage;
- "converged media" episodes, where you feed 'Net or computing content (TED talks, favorite scenes from M*A*S*H, last week's telenovela) to an "entertainment center".
My preferred approach to these situations is to push whatever content I have to the Web, and use a dedicated display-browser hardware installation that has already been shaken down, to retrieve the content. Most sites don't offer such a set-up, though; they assume we'll hook our own machines to their projectors or other displays.
Will this involve wires?
Yes. While plenty of possible futures involve wireless negotiation between the different devices, those technologies remain at the hobbyist level for now. When someone asks you to show your latest PowerPoint marvel to his group, what he effectively means is that you'll tote along a laptop you control, and connect it (possibly through a converter you know to bring with you) to one of several wires emerging from his projector rig. While this basic picture has changed little for at least fifteen years, and most of the standards involved are at least that old, the rise of digital television has at least shifted the landscape a bit. Let's look at the facts:
Common wires
While over a dozen different connectors have been used on popular computers for video output at one time or another, contemporary units, including laptops and netbooks, mostly offer at least one of:
- VGA (mostly transporting SVGA signals),
- composite video ,
- S-Video ,
- HDMI , and
- DisplayPort
Projector installations nearly always accept at least two different formats, with at least one, like S-Video, prominent in consumer electronics, as opposed to computing. If in doubt about what you're facing, ask; often as not, the answer will come back, "I don't know; it just plugs in to your laptop", or something similarly unhelpful. In most common situations, you can assume VGA will be available.
I like to carry converters between some of the other connectors (DVI-A to VGA or S-Video to VGA or S-Video to composite, for example). It's fairly easy to cover most common situations, and prohibitively clumsy and expensive to be ready for them all.
There's plenty of advice available on-line and in books about which connections are the most desirable; much of this counsel is flawed in that it poorly accounts for real-world situations. In principle, digital connections are more robust than analogue, and I'm happy to use digital protocols when available. For the most part, though, the most important milestone is simply to get some connection working properly. This is more challenging than might first appear, because, even in 2010, standardization of controls for display switching remains poor, and low-quality or damaged cables often lead to erratic results.

How to Deliver a Baby (via YouTube)
Using the internet to learn new things is a commonplace practice. But what's the cutting edge of the internet-education, DIY phenomenon? Cooking, building a car, hacking electronics? How about delivering a baby. Marc Stephens, a naval engineer from Redruth, Cornwall spent a mere 30 minutes watching YouTube videos on the birth process, and was able to successfully use this knowledge to help deliver his premature child.
The Guardian reports:
Feeling nervous about the imminent birth of his child Marc Stephens had a look at childbirth videos on his home computer.
Four hours later his wife, Jo, went into labour three weeks earlier than expected and, as paramedics rushed to help, Stephens was able to put his new-found knowledge into action and helped deliver 5lb 5oz Gabriele.
Stephens, 28, a naval engineer, told yesterday how he had already learned how to play the guitar and solve the Rubik's Cube puzzle from YouTube videos. So it didn't seem too much of a leap for him to check out the whys and wherefores of childbirth.

The Elephant in the Room
Download this episode
Do you want to learn why the process of designing software always reveals our humanness - our biases and prejudices, quiet agendas, irrational actions, and diverse portfolio of imperfections - in full effect. This Elephant in the Room session picks up where one of MIX09's highest rated sessions, A Website Named Desire, left off. We walk through the design process for newly redesigned sites like MIX Online and Channel9 in embarrassingly honest detail. This year we go further, drawing insights from fields like behavioral economics and evolutionary psychology to explore how embracing politics and understanding human nature makes our designs better, our projects smoother and our lives happier.

That time of year again!
November 17th, 2010
We can hardly bring ourselves to say the word yet left right and centre the 'Ch' word is being thrown around like Anne Widdecombe on Strictly Come Dancing! Yes, we're afraid it that's time of year again when thoughts turn to that very special (and might we say very stressful) time of year; Christmas. The supermarkets have had Christmas themed stock on the shelves for weeks (we have just been avoiding that particular aisle), the sofa ads have started to take over our televisions and we begin mentally making a shopping list for presents. But don't panic, there are still 6 weeks until Christmas, so plenty of time to shop without it turning into frantic panic on Christmas Eve. And we've got an idea of how you can turn your Christmas shopping experience into a much more pleasant one; Christmas markets. Get into the spirit of things and venture out to a Christmas market, whether in it's in the UK or further afield, you're sure to find plenty of trinkets and stocking fillers to satisfy any taste.
You can find a mix of German and Continental themed Christmas markets in;
- London
- Leeds
- Manchester
- Peterborough
- Birmingham
- Newcastle
- Bath
- Oxford
- Glasgow
To name a few, for more Christmas markets across the country click here. There are also great deals on transport and accommodation for European Christmas markets. Top tip: book a hotel with a spa for some post-shopping pampering and you'll be ready and raring to go the next day!! We particularly like the Lille Christmas Market, its easy access on the Eurostar and the city has everything you need from market stalls to high street shops and high end boutiques. And it's just a hop, skip and a Eurostar away in less than an hour and a half so you can be sipping mulled wine, eating glorious food and looking at the pretty Christmassy things in no time at all!
We do love Christmas here at Bravissimo and especially get into the swing of things once we've got a couple of presents under our belts and the initial stress is over! If you don't have one already, you can order your new winter 2010 catalogue by clicking here and start making your own Christmas wish list. You could even 'accidentally' leave the catalogue open at your wish list page for unassuming passers by. Fingers crossed you have been a good girl this year and get everything you wish for!

Virtual school students meet for first time at graduation
YUCAIPA, Calif. - More than 40 high school seniors celebrated their graduation day in Yucaipa with classmates they've never seen before. They're a part of California Virtual Academies, or CAVA, an online public school for students K-12.
With friendships built on tweets, texts and Facebook posts -- the graduation ceremony, held at Crafton Hills College, turned their online chats with teachers and fellow classmates into in-person meetings.
"It was different; surprising to see what they look like," said Joshua Herrera of Desert Hot Springs.
Some students said they prefer the flexibility of studying outside of the traditional classroom and entering a virtual one instead.
"It was really difficult at times, but it also taught me to push myself," said Shannon Saunders of Desert Hot Springs.
Five years ago, the online academy had a graduating class of seven students. However, for the class of 2012, 554 students will graduate across the state.
"It's exciting to see the growth. I think parents are excited about the program because of budget cuts going on in local schools," said Victoria Nelson, the CAVA high school academic administrator.
CAVA students come from a variety of backgrounds -- accelerated learners, students of military families, athletes and others with special needs.
"Because we have so much adaptability, we can really meet the needs of the individuals," said Nelson.
The academy calls it a paradigm shift in education with a graduation full of hellos and goodbyes.
"Really cool to actually meet them. It was amazing, the whole experience," said Saunders.

How smart buildings become radically efficient
How smart buildings become radically efficient
At last month's VERGE conference, a clear message stood out: Data has the power to transform the future of sustainability.
Data, however, is only as transformative as the tools that make it actionable. If data is to define the future of sustainability, then the future of information technology will define how facilities become radically efficient (i.e. true smart buildings).
IDC has projected that social business, big data analytics, cloud computing and mobility are coming together in an unprecedented way to create solutions with entirely new business value. Indeed these pillars of future information technology will enable intelligent industries, solutions and, most importantly, innovation. These are the characteristics of intelligent IT tools that can transform facilities into smart buildings and directly align with the VERGE message of data-enabled market transformation.
Social Business: At the conference, Facebook's Bill Weihl spoke to the reality that energy efficiency and conservation efforts go largely unseen, and furthermore, he suggested social networks can be the mechanism to "surface largely invisible behavior to make it part of the social norm."
An afternoon panel on platforms for energy efficiency took this question to the test. It became apparent that social networking, whether on a peer-to-peer community or customized building management forum, can help decision-makers tackle the big questions that hinder smart building technology adoption. These forums can be the engine to accelerate the industry by showcasing case studies, best practices and the value proposition of these emerging technologies.
Big Data Analytics: The VERGE theme on "big data" fueled further discourse around the future of buildings and again highlighted a parallel with the future of IT. VERGE explored the opportunities for smart buildings as resources, looking to a future vision in which facilities have integrated mature energy management solutions and become effective nodes on the smart grid. This reality will require the utilization of big data analytics.
As suggested by Kyle McNamara from Verizon, demand response could be the "killer app" of the smart grid as utilities will rely on big data analytics to leverage buildings as energy resources. With the growth of automated demand response programs, smart buildings will provide dynamic response to utility feedback when high demand puts constraints on the grid. In this scenario, the utility must be able to process and utilize real-time data to call on the resources that will most effectively support grid stability and reliability.
Cloud Computing: The vast majority of the innovative energy management solutions showcased at the VERGE conference offer lower upfront costs aiming for early adoption because of their "software-as-a-service" design. The optimization of a smart building relies on adaptive building management directed by the insight from analytics and data management. As seen at Hack City, a hackathon hosted the weekend prior to the conference, third-party applications, such as those found in Johnson Controls' Panoptix app marketplace, demonstrate the importance of cloud computing for the future of smart buildings.
Mobility: The fact that facilities managers are widely offline is one of those central personnel challenges hindering the development of smart buildings. If the industry is to succeed in transforming facilities into smart buildings, not only will facilities managers need to build skillsets around using information technology but vendors will need to bring mobility into their solution design.
An optimized smart building will have not only a smaller environmental footprint but the tools to enable sustainability executives to monitor and verify the impact of their business objectives in a way that can be economically quantified. This ability to translate actions into dollars makes the sustainability message resonate far beyond corporate marketing and communication and up the C-Suite to the topline enterprise decision-makers. This new level of transparency and measurability will reshape the future of sustainability and generate the radical efficiency envisioned by VERGE.
This article is a brief overview of an analysis published to IDC Energy Insights' Smart Building Strategies Program. More information about this program and report can be found here.

Kara DioGuardi, who showed off her bikini-clad body for last season's American Idol finale, strips down to her two-piece again in the pages of Maxim magazine. Kara also tells the magazine that she would have auditioned for Idol if it had been around when she was launching her career, "but I don't think I would have gotten too far if I was, like, 20."
Maxim also has an online photo gallery of the "Hottest Women of American Idol." The list includes Kara, Katharine McPhee, Carrie Underwood, Megan Joy and, of course, Katrina "Bikini Girl" Darrell.
Nashville-based Brian Mansfield began writing about music for USA TODAY in 1997 and took over Idol Chatter just before the start of Season 8. He co-authored Make Me a Star: Industry Insiders Reveal How to Make It in Music, and while he has never auditioned for American Idol, he did sing Boot Scootin' Boogie at Disney World's American Idol Experience the day the attraction opened (he lost).

One Direction Performs One Way or Another at the 2013 Brit Awards
Posted on February 21, 2013One Direction gave an energetic performance of their charity single "One Way Or Another" at the 2013 Brit Awards. The guys danced atop a giant pinball machine which was actually a pretty cool set. Taylor Swift also performed live at the event, and rumors say there was quite a bit of manoeuvring to make sure she didn't run into ex-love Harry Styles backstage. Take a look:

"All war movies are antiwar movies," opined Francis Ford Coppola, "in that they describe horrible incidents and the most profound thing of all, to lose a young person." This truism has ended with the latest film installment of the Narnia Chronicles. Not only is Prince Caspian a war movie that is not antiwar, it is war movie targeted to young people. And to this I say: It's about time Hollywood made a war movie for children.
As Narnia author C.S. Lewis once claimed, "The war creates no absolutely new situation; it simply aggravates the permanent human situation so that we can no longer ignore it." This is why there needs to be more war movies for children. War movies are metaphors, and in the proper context, can be powerful literary tools for teaching children the fundamentals of moral conduct. At its best, Caspian succeeds in presenting a vision of how people–even at a young age–must reckon with a world infected by violence and evil.
Because we have grown accustomed to viewing the Chronicles of Narnia as safe books for Christian children, we often overlook how radical a moral universe they present.
For instance, near the beginning of Caspian, four schoolchildren living in WWII-era England leave the realm of air-raid sirens and sandbagged lined subway platforms for the war torn landscape of Narnia. The Pevensie siblings, Peter, Susan, Edmond, and Lucy, are leaving a country where they were helpless children and returning to a kingdom where they once ruled as kings and queens.
On children's television channels like Nickelodeon and Disney, precocious tweeners and young teens are often at the center of the action while parents and other adults are at the periphery. By contrast, in the world of Narnia, human adults are either the enemy of the children or are completely absent. This is a radical departure for modern children. Not only can young moviegoers not relate to a world with a monarchial hierarchy, they can't relate to a world without helicopter parents.
The Pevensie children, however, are not alone in the Narnian universe. They are surrounded by various creatures, from satyrs to talking badgers. Yet as "Sons of Adam" and "Daughters of Eve" they have dominion and authority over all other beings. With one exception: Aslan.
In Narnia, Aslan is God. As explained in The Magician's Nephew, the prequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the land of Narnia was literally sung into existence by Aslan. The noble lion is the creator, sustainer, and sovereign over all that exists in the land.
The "Aslan as Christ-figure" is readily apparent in Wardrobe. Even the most secular audience member can figure out what the death and resurrection of Aslan is supposed to represent. However, in Caspian the allusion is more subtle, though possibly even more profound.
It's exasperating, though not surprising, that so many Christians who have seen the movie complain that Aslan is not given enough screen time. They seem not to get the point that Aslan is in every frame of the film.
Everything in Narnia was created and is sustained by the breath of Aslan. Evidence of Aslan is seen in the trees, the sun, the woodland creatures, and in everything that exist. His presence is everywhere. How then can Christians miss the point that Caspian is about faith, about "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen"?
Perhaps the problem is that they are unable to make the shift from readers to moviegoers; they are too attached to the book. While Wardrobe was a rather literal book-to-film translation, Caspian is a loose adaptation. This is a wholly good and necessary change, for the book, one of the weaker Narnia tales, is structurally flawed and narratively flabby.
To compensate, the movie includes a variety of new elements; some that deepen the story (an extended siege on a castle) and others that serve as minor diversions (a blink-and-you'll-miss-it romance). Overall, though, the liberties taken are what transform the talky, walking-through-the-woods book into an action packed honest-to-goodness war movie.
For this is indeed a war movie and the war scenes are spectacular. Caspian is the first children's movie that has a body count comparable to Braveheart. The images of battle are brutal, poignant, sad, and yet pleasantly gore-free. Seeing children in combat should be disconcerting, though I found it refreshing. I especially appreciated how Queen Susan was allowed to tap into her inner Xena in order to fight valiantly alongside the boys, bears, and badgers. (And no, I do not think woman should serve in combat. Then again, I'm opposed to sending Dryads, Maenads, and talking squirrels into combat situations too.)
The biggest weakness in the film is the titular character – Prince Caspian. The character, tediously dull in the book, is given far too much screen time. While Ben Barnes, the young actor who plays Prince Caspian, was obviously selected as eye-candy for the Hannah Montana crowd, the writers could have done more than make him a pint-sized Inigo Montoya (complete with the faux- Castilian accent!).
Also, every moment spent on the crowd-pleasing CGI-characters (e.g., the cute but overrated Reepicheep) was time when the screen wasn't filled with the vastly more interesting Pevensie children. The movie should have given them even more space to mature. High King Peter and Queen Susan were only allowed to shine in the fight scenes, though Queen Lucy–my favorite character–was magnificent in just about every scene.
Overall, I loved the movie and thought it was superior to both the book and to the film version of Wardrobe. But your own reaction is likely to be markedly different, particularly if you are a mother.
Moms simply won't be able to appreciate seeing a teen boy getting thrashed in single-combat against a man twice his age. They won't cheer heartily at seeing a teen girl expertly dehorse a half-dozen soldiers with a bow and arrow. Nor will they gasp with delight upon seeing a six-year old draw a dagger when faced with an opposing army.
This ain't no Veggie Tales; this a Dad's movie. So kids, put down the Wii controller, grab Pops and drag him off to see Prince Caspian, the greatest war movie ever made for children.

Brandon Costner appeared in 43 games (28 starts) towards averages of 14.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists on 42.3 percent field goals and 34.2 percent on three-pointers.
Over the last 15 games of the season, Costner posted marks of 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals on 48.6 percent field goals and 39.8 percent from beyond the arc. During that stretch, he was recognized as NBA D-League Co-Performer of the Week for games played from March 17 to March 23.
In two postseason games vs. Santa Cruz, he averaged 28.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.0 steals on 50.0 percent field goals, which included a D-Fenders postseason franchise record 39 points in Game 2.
– On how he would describe the year from a personal standpoint:
"For me personally, it was a pretty good season overall. It started off pretty slow still recovering from surgery and trying to get my timing back and trying to get strength back in my legs. But my legs got stronger as the season went on and the last two months or so, I was back playing like myself (of old). My leg got stronger almost every week it seemed like. Over the last month or so, I was able to play relatively pain free as far as moving and doing things I normally do. "
*Costner broke his shin and had a rod placed and six screws inserted and was out of commission for a year-and-a-half.
– On how he would sum up the season:
"We started off pretty slow, we had a lot of changes with guys trying to get used to and comfortable with. Somewhere around midway or around the NBA D-League Showcase, we kind of figured out how we're supposed to do things and form an identity as a team and started playing well. We carried that all the way until the end of the season. We were probably playing as good as anybody in the league. Overall, it was a success – outside of the playoffs."
– On playing in Mike D'Antoni's system:
"It's a really diverse offense with a lot of spreading the floor and trying to take advantage of mismatches. It gives guys a lot of freedom. In that respect, it was pretty cool for an offensive player."
– On his plans for the offseason:
"I'm heading to China on Wednesday to play in a summer league that will last until July. It would be nice to be invited to (training) camp, but that's a few months down the road. If not, I will probably head back across the water and play overseas. I'm going to fine tune everything and continue to get into better shape."
