The game's going pretty well when, uh oh, I didn't get the cue ball position I wanted and I leave myself an impossible shot. D'oh! Joe Shark (my opponent) steps up and runs the table and sinks the eight ball. Damn! Oh well, nothing to do but put some more quarters up and wait another hour.....
I don't know about you, but I got awfully tired of losing and waiting for my next game. This really put the fire in me to improve my skills so that I could be the guy on the table all night, playing and drinking for free, while somebody else did the waiting. It took years...
While nothing beats practice and more practice, a little knowledge can go a long way towards making you the one with all the playing time instead of the shmuck buying the drinks all night. Ball speed, English, follow and draw, position and safety play, a smooth stroke, confidence and concentration, reading the table, and even the right stick and tip can all have a tremendous effect on whether you win or lose. And if you're going to play, you might as well win, right?
Here at Pool and Pocket Billiards Resource we've put together a comprehensive collection of tips, information, and instruction to supply today's players with the advantages they need to be the stud instead of the dud.
We'll introduce you to the latest equipment that the industry has to offer and how to maintain and care for it to best advantage. Don't miss the links page, where you will find shortcuts to the various pool and billiards publications and other relevent sites that are out there.
Since I live in the USA, this site is slanted towards the American versions of things. Of course I mean no slight whatsoever to my overseas friends.
Whatever your game - 8-ball, 9-ball, straight pool, or one of the many other varieties, we hope you enjoy your visit.

ARMED police were called after a Jack Russell terrier was killed and a person was bitten during an alleged violent dog attack close to a Cirencester school.
The Jack Russell's owner, local vet Rob Darvill, told the Standard that the death of Gypsy, who had been part of the family since they rescued her from a dog's home four years ago, had left them heartbroken.
The assault, near Kingshill School at 3.30pm last Tuesday, was the second time in a few weeks that a Staffordshire bull terrier had reportedly attacked another dog while off its lead.
In a similar but unrelated incident on Saturday, November 24, a similar dog savaged another Jack Russell at City Bank, as a seven-year-old boy stood just yards away.
Rob said that his mother-in-law Elizabeth Bounds had been walking at the back of Kingshill School when an "uncontrollable" Staffy darted towards her and attacked Gypsy, savaging the terrier and sinking its teeth into her front legs and chest.
As the 64-year-old tried to prise the two dogs apart she was reportedly bitten on her hand and knee by the violent dog.
Rob said that when the bull terrier released its grip, Gypsy fled into a nearby road and was hit by a car. The terrier is believed to have died instantly.
Witnesses said police officers armed with "rifle-type guns" arrived at the site soon after.
Sgt Garret Gloyn, of Cirencester police station, said: "Due to the nature of the call – that it was a Staffy and out of control – we deployed local officers and a dog handler. The first officers on the scene were armed."
He added that he was not aware of any injuries caused to the Staffordshire bull terrier and no one else had been harmed in the attack.
The person in charge of the bull terrier in last week's incident has been interviewed by police and summonsed for potential offences committed under the Dangerous Dogs Act. Investigations are ongoing.
Rob, who works at Benson and Babb veterinary centre in Lewis Lane, said: "We've got a young baby and my wife used to walk Gypsy with the baby in a sling. We're just very relieved that they weren't there."
The 28-year-old added: "Gypsy was so involved in our lives. Every day there's little things that make me think she should be there. It's very, very sad."

[COLLEGE MEN: Thursday] After knocking off two of the top three teams in the Soccer America Preseason Top 25, California went from unranked to No. 4 in the Top 25 and the hard part of living up to the rankings began. That started Thursday night as the Golden Bears headed across the new Bay Bridge to face San Francisco, which it beat, 1-0, with a goal by Christian Thierjung with 19 seconds left in regulation.
"Tonight's game looked like it was heading to overtime, but we had great combination
play at the top of the box, and Christian scored a fantastic goal to give us the win," Cal head coach Kevin Grimes said. "For a young player,
Christian has great composure. He's extremely intelligent in decision making. He has a lot of good qualities and plays like someone beyond his years. For him to finish like he did at the end of
the game – in the most demanding moment – that really showed his quality."
-- After knocking Preseason No. 2 Indiana, UCLA climbed to No. 6 in the rankings, but the
Bruins fell in their home opener to Cal Poly, 3-0.
Chase Minter and Mackenzie Pridham put the Mustangs up
2-0 after 25 minutes and Chris Bernardi scored on a breakaway in the 84th minute.
UCLA's nightmare evening was complete when freshman Michael Amick was handed a red card midway through the second half.

This version adds support for Class::Tangram perl classes and Umbrello XMI, hopefully I will be able to make more progress on the next version in my long term goal of full translation between Umbrello, Dot, Dia, VCG and Argouml.
This version also improves or fixes the SQL Handler, the Perl Handler (adding support for Class::Tangram), the C++ Handler and the Torque Handler. The autodia.pl script itself is also slightly improved and when the skip cvs option is set will skip RCS and CVS directories, the autodia_java.pl script that provides support for the Java Handler has been updated to catch up with autodia.pl but still has issues with the 1.4 or higher JVM.
as always you can download it from CPAN or the website
now I want to look at adding perl generation to Umbrello (via its plugins) and try and build a UML to perl general equivilent to autodia that would allow you to generate your classes (and pod, and skeleton tests), from UML in dia or umbrello (or even ArgoUML much later). There are so many things I could automate in class generation - skeleton example files, pod, tests, indexing, sql generation, searchable html documentation as well as the inherent flexibility of the perl class system and its associated modules - choosing between all the class::* modules, mock objects, things like pixie.
so little free time, so much to do...


text: Russia will cut its army of bureaucrats by more than 100,000 within the next three years, saving 43 billion rubles ($1.5 billion), Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin said on Monday. "We assume more than 100,000 federal state civil jobs will be cut within three years. The government has already included a schedule for cutting the number of federal civil servants in the draft budget for the next three years and coordinated it with ministries and agencies," Kudrin told President Dmitry Medvedev, who in June ordered a 20 percent cut in the number of bureaucrats. Under the government plan, ministries and agencies will have to sack five percent of their staff in 2011 and 2012, and 10 percent in 2013. …In the last three years, the number of bureaucrats in the federal government had increased by nearly 20,000, in regional governments by 60,000 and at municipalities by 50,000, he said.

State Health Commissioner Nirav Shah testified today that he's "not in a hurry" to finish his 16-month review of whether hydrofracking could be performed safely in New York, saying he will continue his lengthy study until he comes to a clear determination.
"When we started, we were optimistic," Shah told lawmakers of his review that started in September 2012. "We thought we that we could be finished with this review very quickly. As we have taken time to understand what is going on, there is a lot more out there, and I am in no hurry to play with any potential risks with the health and safety of New Yorkers."
Shah has been criticized for the extended review and the secrecy around it. He has refused to discuss details about what he's been doing, and Gannett's Albany Bureau reported today that Shah won't release his public schedules.
Shah offered few new specifics today, but said he's in no rush to get the work finished.
"I'm not in a hurry to finish this research review. When I'm ready, that's the extent of my plans," Shah said.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has maintained the state's de facto moratorium on fracking until Shah's review is complete, and state DEC Commissioner Joseph Martens said last week that it's unlikely his office would issue any drilling permits until after April 2015.
"This is a highly emotionally charged area, and to the extent that we want to be objective and scientific and stick to the facts, we are continuing our work as needed, reaching out to whoever I need to reach out to," Shah said.
Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee, D-Suffern, Rockland County, asked Shah why the review isn't more public, saying it should be.
Shah said there's a need for "transparency at a certain point" on fracking review, adding, "afterwards, absolutely."

Moscow (Voice of Russia) Jul 17, 2013
Russia will start designing a new strategic bomber in 2014, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army, Valery Gerasimov, said. Here are more details about the project by expert at Centre for Strategic Technology Analysis, Vasily Kashin, who compares this with the similar Chinese and American projects.
The new Prospective Air Complex for Long Range Aviation (PAK DA) will replace the Tu-95MS and Tu-160 bombers that Russia is using now. The Tupolev Designing Bureau will develop the new bomber. It will deliver its plan for the development of the aircraft and the estimation of the cost of this work to the Defence Ministry.
Reportedly, the serial production of the bomber is expected to start in 2020. However, some other reports say that the aircraft will make its maiden flight in 2020. Concerning its engines, their development was started in 2011. It's quite possible that the aircraft will be equipped with the updated models of the 117S or NK-32 advanced engines. The weapon systems are also being developed.
It has been suggested that the bomber will carry X-101 cruise missiles that can hit a target at a distance of 5,500 kilometers. Moreover it may carry short-range missiles and glide bombs.
At present, according to the approved project, the future bomber will be built under the "flying-wing" scheme similar to the American B-2 Spirit. At present, this is the only stealth strategic bomber that has been developed to a level for launching serial production. The price of a bomber with the necessary equipment and spare parts was estimated at over $900 million in the 1990s, while the overall cost of the development and the production of all aircraft was about $45 billion.
Most likely, similar to the American B-2, the Russian bomber will fly at a high subsonic speed. Basic attention will be focused on its long-range and stealth technology. In this case, the Russian bomber will differ from the future Chinese strategic bomber, which judging by mock-up models, will be a supersonic aircraft.
At the same time, analysts insist that the Chinese project will cost huge sums and experience technical difficulties when taking into account, that unlike the U.S. and Russia, China has no experience at all in this area. Practically, if China wants to implement the programme up to serial production, it will have to spend huge sums comparable to that of the entire manned-space programme.
In fact, the Russian project is not starting from scratch. The Tupolev Design Bureau worked on the Tu-202 project in the 1970s and 1980s. It planned to develop this aircraft in two versions, strategic bomber and long-range anti-submarine aircraft.
The aircraft was planned to be built according to the "flying wing" design. Its total range was 16,000 kilometers, while the range of the bomber carrying 6 cruise missiles was 5,500 kilometers. In the 1980s, a large number of aerodynamic experiments were carried out using models of the aircraft.
New strategic bomber projects are always linked with huge technical risks. Nevertheless, the development of the PAK DA will provide Russia an effective system capable of hitting targets at any points on the Earth, within several hours of receiving the order, without need for foreign bases.

Despite knowing he was dying, Steve Jobs worked for more than a year on the products that he believed would safeguard the company's future.
It was also revealed today that Jobs fought hard to get plans approved for a spaceship-style company headquarters in California.
It will be big enough to hold 12,000 employees in a park-like setting near the existing base in Cupertino. He appeared at a town council meeting in June to plead for the planning go ahead.

Product Information
Important Sizing Note: The following measurements are the dimensions of the actual product, not of the pet they fit. After measuring your pet, make sure all measurements fit within the following dimensions (with a little room to spare in the chest and neck).XX-Small
This coat is adorable as well as nice and fluffy for my hairless dog on winter days.
Exactly as pictured which is totally refreshing since this was an online purchase, measuring the doggy as per size chart was very helpful
This coat is cute and warm. It did run a little smaller, then the other coat I ordered for my girl. She is 1 year old weighs 12 lbs. I ordered the small/medium, should of gotten the medium size. But it will fit her for the winter.
I love this coat. It is very warm, easy to put on, and looks very good on my dog. It has a hole for a leash if you attach the leash to a collar. I wish they would make clothes with holes for those of us who use harnesses.
This jacket is adorable! It does run a little small in the chest, so I recommend ordering a a size up.
Very nice quality, but runs small

Take Action Now! Tell U.S. EPA to deny the registration ACC.
If ACC is allowed for use, millions of children will be exposed to this cancer-causing chemical when they come into contact with playground equipment, picnic tables, decks, or other treated surfaces. Safer alternatives to this dangerous chemical are widely available and already in use. Our children are just as vulnerable to cancer-causing chromium leaching from playground equipment and picnic tables as they are to arsenic, which EPA recently banned as a health threat. Replacing one deadly poison with another makes no sense. But the chromium industry and their lobbyist, former Senator Bob Dole, are pressuring EPA to approve ACC by January 20, 2007.
Please contact EPA immediately and urge them to deny the registration of this cancer causing wood treatment chemical. Thank you!

Apple Inc.'s Safari is the juiciest target in the upcoming PWN2OWN hacking contest, last year's winner predicted Tuesday.
"It's an easy target," said Charlie Miller, the vulnerability researcher who last year walked off with a $10,000 cash prize for breaking into an Apple laptop within minutes of the contest. PWNOWN is slated for its third appearance at the CanSecWest security conference later this month in Vancouver, British Columbia.
[ How safe is your browser? Find out in InfoWorld Test Center's guide to browser security, including reviews of Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera, and Safari | Keep up on the latest tech news headlines at InfoWorld News, or subscribe to the Today's Headlines newsletter. ]
"It might be because I'm biased about the things I'm good at, but it's the easiest browser [to hack]," Miller said.
PWN2OWN's sponsor, 3Com Inc.'s TippingPoint, will pay $5,000 for each new bug successfully exploited in Safari, Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), Mozilla Corp.'s Firefox, or Google Inc.'s Chrome. IE8, Firefox, and Chrome will be running on a Sony notebook powered by Windows 7, Microsoft's still-under-construction operating system, while Safari and Firefox will be available on a MacBook.
"Apple's products are really friendly to users, and Safari is designed to handle anything, including all kinds of file formats," said Miller. "With a lot of functionality comes the increased chance of bugs. The more complex software is, the less secure it is."
Another factor contributing to Safari's easy pickings, said Miller, is Apple's Mac OS X, which lacks workable defenses found in Windows Vista and Windows 7, including address space randomization. Microsoft calls it "address space layout randomization," or ASLR.
Put Safari atop Mac OS X, and the target's too good to pass up, said Miller.
IE8 and Firefox will escape unscathed, Miller predicted, adding that a quick cost-benefit analysis tells him they'll be safe. "They make it so hard that, for me, $5,000 isn't motivation enough to try to break one of those guys," he said. As for Chrome, he pleaded ignorance, saying that he didn't know enough about the browser to even provide a prediction. His gut instinct, however, is that Google's browser will also survive.
Miller has also been sharpening his mobile device vulnerability and exploit skills -- he was the first researcher to uncover a security bug in Google's Android operating system -- and so will take a stab at the second PWN2OWN contest. That separate challenge will pit researchers against five smartphone operating systems, including Windows Mobile, Android, Symbian, and the operating systems used by the iPhone and BlackBerry. TippingPoint will pay double, or $10,000, for each bug exploited at the contest.
"I'll be trying to break Safari," said Miller. "If I say it's easy, I have to try, right? But I also want to show my stuff on mobile."
He declined to say which smartphone he will target. It's likely, however, that he'll be looking at the iPhone; Miller was one of three researchers who found the first iPhone vulnerability just weeks after the device's mid-2007 debut.
Nor would Miller get specific about the vulnerabilities he has in mind or is investigating. "You pretty much have to show up [with a vulnerability and exploit] and be ready to go," said Miller. "The great thing about PWN2OWN is that it's not just about finding bugs, but about finding bugs that can be exploited, and then coming up with an exploit."
Miller works as a principal analyst at Independent Security Evaluators LLC, a security consulting firm, and said he is looking forward to the contest, which kicks off March 18. "I have to defend my championship, don't I?"

A free Photography Show and Workshop titled "Picture My Weekend" will take place for participants at all digital photography skill levels and for varying types of digital cameras.
On Friday, anyone planning on taking part in the Saturday workshop is welcome to provide items for the photography show set for 7 to 9 p.m. Each participant is welcome to bring up to five matted pieces to have on display on the first floor of the Runnymede. Visit www.nwosu.edu/picture-my-weekend for specific details on how to prepare photos for hanging.
The Max Ridgway Trio will provide music during the Friday evening photography show, which will be free and open to the public.
Saturday's workshop begins with check in at 8:30 a.m., followed by a welcome from Alva Mayor Arden Chaffee at 8:45 a.m. The first of a number of roundtable sessions provided to help photographers at all skill levels become better at their craft and how to use their camera begins at 9 a.m.
New this year is "Teens Talkin' Photography," a session taught by 1999 Northwestern alumna Korina Schneider. This session is available for teenagers, 13 years old and up. This group will be able to utilize the tips they learn by going out and taking photographs. Students younger must be accompanied at the session by an adult.
Also new, participants will have an extended lunch period where they may take what they learned during the morning sessions and practice by taking photographs in the community. These photographs will be compiled for a slide show set to end the day's activities at a special 7 p.m. showing in Northwestern's Science Amphitheatre.
Dr. Janet Cunningham, university president, will welcome participants to Northwestern, and Dr. Kay Decker, department of social sciences chair, will present "Using Our Talents to Increase Awareness of Cultural Heritage and Our History" prior to the slide show. To end the event, there will be an open discussion about photography.
Workshop sessions will include The Very Basics, Off-camera Lighting, Telling a Story through Pictures, Composition and more. All sessions have been developed to help everyone try various ways to improve their photographic skills.
Registration is required so the committee will have an idea of how many people will be in attendance. Registration is open through July 24 or until 80 people have registered. An online registration form is available at www.nwosu.edu/photog-registration.
For additional information or to volunteer to help facilitate the roundtable discussions, please contact Dr. Rod Murrow, associate dean of graduate studies, at (580) 327-8589 or email@example.com. Information also is available online at www.nwosu.edu/picture-my-weekend.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

Questions for the manufacturer. Responses should be an amendment to the current PMA supplement (S14). Responses are likely to become part of the material sent to the panel.
1) The operator's manual page 587 and subsequent appears to be based on infant and child trials, and pilot studies of adults. The tables and some other material is based on the "Multi-center controlled trials" which are not defined but in context appear to be infant or child trials. I think that the discussion page 587, and page 594, and other pages should be oriented toward the adult randomized study currently under review, and the source of the information should be clearly designated (Prospective Randomized Multicenter Oscillator ARDS Trial (MOAT2). Similarly, the data page 593 should be derived from the adult randomized study currently under review. Patient weights should be included in the table page 593.
2) Minimal information was provided on the physiologic variables observed during the course of the study. Data on these variables would aid in understanding aspects of the study results that are not apparent from the statistical outcomes alone. Please provide tabulated or graphical information for the HFOV and the Conventional group values (Mean, standard deviation and number of patients for that point) at intervals during the study (see for example table 3, page 1305 in: The Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network: Ventilation with lower tidal volumes as compared with traditional tidal volumes for acute lung injury at the acute respiratory distress syndrome, N Engl J Med 2000;342:1301-1308. A column for the values prior to entry into the controlled treatment should also be provided. Subsequent data points should be included only when the patients were on their initially assigned ventilator. Variables can include mean airway pressure, PEEP, ventilator rate, Conventional tidal volume, HFOV delta P, arterial pH, PCO2, PaO2, FIO2 PaO2/FIO2, Cardiac Output, PA wedge, Mean PA pressure, and CVP. The times to be displayed might be selected as one pre-treatment, two of the first day times, and one time on day 2, day 4, and day 6.
3) The outcome error page 164 table 8 last entry for CMV should be corrected.
4) In your submission (on page 46), you summarize testing of your device to determine its mean time to failure. Three units were tested, and each was shown to operate for at least 2000 hours. The mean time to failure was 2680 hours. In each case, the failure was due to a torn driver diaphragm. However, in the course of the clinical study, at least six driver diaphragm ruptures occurred over the less than 457 total days of ventilation with the Model 3100B. The associated estimate of the mean time to failure is 1828 hours. Please explain why failure of the driver diaphragms does not affect the safety and effectiveness of this device, and describe how the risk to the patient from an intra-procedure failure of your device is mitigated. It is possible that more frequent replacement of the oscillator assembly (which is now replaced every 2000 hours) would more effectively mitigate this risk.
5) The operator's manual for your device includes graphs which summarize its performance (see pages 516-520 of the submission). We note that the maximum driver power for the Model 3100B is greater than the maximum driver power for the approved Model 3100A. Please confirm that these performance graphs are for the Model 3100B.
6) Please provide an analysis of the poolability among sites and analysis of the effects on the statistical analysis of the protocol deviations "other" and "withdrawal of consent" table 6 PMA page 22.

A Dream
The words, "I hate my job," is a tragic statement. Why live life going to a place so disliked, every single day for the majority of your life? Yes, to make sacrifices is honorable and necessary; however, those sacrifices are supposed to help make life more enjoyable in the long run.
It is because of sacrifices and life changes that I have decided to become a Surgical Technologist. To help mend lives back together, one stitch at a time. Surgery can be the turning point in an individual's life. They may have been in constant pain for an endless amount of time, or had a accident that requires immediate attention. Whatever the case, surgery can help bring normalcy back to a life.
A benefit to being a Surgical Technologist is the fact that surgery is a worldwide need. I would be able to go on any medical missions trip, help in any country, and still be able to assist surgeons in my home town.
Helping others is my dream job, in any way possible. I would never have to hear that one tragic statement, "I hate my job," uttered from my own lips. I would get the chance to hear, "my life is changed," from others.

Re "'Mormon moment' ends with a loss but his religion still won" (Tribune, Nov. 7):
When The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints says that Gov. Mitt Romney engaged at the "highest level of our democratic process" it must be referring to the presidency being our highest office and not Romney's honor and integrity.
Romney flip-flopped completely on the issues of abortion and gay rights: from supporting Roe vs. Wade to supporting personhood for fetuses, and from the "left of Ted Kennedy" to supporting the Defense of Marriage act. We have come to expect such disgusting Etch-A-Sketch vacillation in politics.
Romney started his campaign by falsely claiming President Barack Obama had said that "if we keep talking about the economy we are going to lose" (Obama was actually quoting Republican Sen. John McCain). He ended it by falsely asserting that Chrysler was moving its Jeep jobs to China. And there were many more lies in between.
This level of deception should embarrass anyone who spoke well of Romney.
We can only hope the next national candidate with Utah ties will make us proud, not just of what she or he does, but how she or he does it.

He figures it's time to have a winning season.
"It's a fun time to be a Pittsburgh Pirate," Bay says. "It's a different feel from the last few years. This year we are banking on guys with a big-league track record instead of kids trying to do extraordinary things."
Optimism is flowing because the Pirates, whose last winning record was in 1992 when they won the NL East in the two-division format, have a promising young rotation and a strong bullpen.
Last season: 67-95, sixth in NL Central.
In: OF Jeromy Burnitz, 1B Sean Casey, 3B Joe Randa, RHPs Roberto Hernandez, Victor Santos and Jonah Bayliss and LHP Damaso Marte.
Out: IFs Bobby Hill, Rob Mackowiak, Daryle Ward and Ty Wigginton, RHPs Brian Meadows, Jose Mesa and Rick White and LHPs Dave Williams and Mark Redman.
Projected lineup: C Ryan Doumit, 1B Casey, 2B Jose Castillo, SS Jack Wilson, 3B Randa, LF Jason Bay, CF Chris Duffy, RF Burnitz.
Rotation:1. LHP Zach Duke; 2. LHP Paul Maholm; 3. LHP Oliver Perez; 4. RHP Ian Snell, 5. RHP Brandon Duckworth.
Closer: LHP Mike Gonzalez.
Roster question: Who will be the fifth starter? The Pirates have several choices, starting with Duckworth, right-handers Victor Santos and Ryan Vogelsong and left-handers Tom Gorzelanny and Sean Burnett.
Pirates ownership signed Bay (four years, $18.25 million) and shortstop Jack Wilson (three years, $20.2 million) to long-term contracts and then doled out $18.2 million to improve the lineup with first baseman Sean Casey, third baseman Joe Randa and outfielder Jeromy Burnitz. Casey and Randa are warming seats so infield prospects Joe Bautista (third base) and Brad Eldred (first) can get a complete season at Class AAA.
"If we don't win with this team, I don't know what we are going to do," says Wilson, a 2004 All-Star who made a career-low 14 errors in 158 games last season. "We've got a good lineup, good pitching and a good defense."
Bay, 27, plays in obscurity in Pittsburgh, but last season he was the only player in baseball — and the first Pirate ever — to hit .300 with at least 30 home runs, 40 doubles, 20 steals, 100 runs scored and 100 RBI in the same season. He was also the first Pirate to start every game since Johnny Ray in 1982.
Bay will likely bat cleanup after Chris Duffy, Wilson and Casey, a first baseman who has struck out 84 times combined the last two seasons.
After Bay, the lineup will have Burnitz, 37, who hit 24 home runs for the Chicago Cubs last season, and Randa, 36, who hit .276 with 17 home runs for the Cincinnati Reds and San Diego Padres.
Bay, who played for Canada in the World Baseball Classic, said in theory the new players in the lineup will help him, but his only concern is that they will help the others.
He came to the Pirates in a trade with San Diego in August 2003. They signed him in November to a contract that keeps him in Pittsburgh through 2009.
Bay says he likes everything about Pittsburgh, especially the blue-collar attitude that reminds him of his hometown, Trail, British Columbia, a town of 7,000 that's 10 minutes north of the Canada-Washington border.
His dad, Dave, has worked since his high school graduation in the town's plant that smelts lead, zinc, gold and silver.
"Trail is industrial with smokestacks, but to me, that's normal," Bay says. "I love Pittsburgh, the city, the people, the ballpark."
But Pittsburgh doesn't have a winning team. Bay says that will change.
"Going from last to winning is a bold statement," he says, "but we have the attitude that we can do it."

Today, I woke up after a few friends came over last night. There are eggs, coins and Oreos glued to the ceiling, 10 broken jars, no food left, and most of the contents of my house are in the garden. And I'm naked and covered in permanent marker drawings of Pokémon. My parents return in an hour. FML

I would like to chant in my house everyday, however I'm not always present in the temple and not always there to chant along with the others. So I would like to ask what passage I should chant every morning or every evening. Is there any chanting that needed to be done in order?
Hope you can link me some pdf file online so i can download and print it. Thank you!

Earlier today WBC Silver Welterweight Champion Josesito Lopez (30-4, 18 KOs) met with Riverside's Mayor Ronald Loveridge to celebrate his recent upset victory over 'Vicious' Victor Ortiz. Just under a month ago Mayor Loveridge and the mayor of Ventura, Mike Tracy, put up a friendly wager of their city's home-grown fruits for the Victor Ortiz - Josesito Lopez fight. Mayor Tracy bet a flat of strawberries to Riverside Mayor Loveridge's box of oranges that Ventura's Ortiz would beat Riverside's Lopez for the WBC Welterweight Silver Belt Championship. The Ventura resident did not succeed. It was a stunning upset win for Lopez who took the fight on short notice after Ortiz's original opponent, Andre Berto, tested positive for an illegal substance. "We're very proud to have Jose Lopez as a member of the Riverside community. He is a great athlete that showed his determination to achieve his goals. He represents the heart of Riverside.

We don't need the 7STRs to certify E-V13, since there is a V13+ SNP.
The 7 STRs are supportive of the V13+ SNP, and nullify the possibility
that the latter is e.g., some type of post mortem DNA degradation or
Even without the 7 STRs, however, the chance of such an event would
have been miniscule, since most of the Y-chromosome is monomorphic,
and the odds are stacked against the possibility of a postmortem
damage at precisely a site that happens to be polymorphic in modern
humans. And, the odds are stacked against the possibility of
contamination, given the rarity of E-V13 in the area today, and all
the precautions used by the scientists and described in the paper.
So, no, I don't see any reason that it is "equally likely that the V13
result was wrong."

Korean translation

The character in brackets can mean 'stock' and the hangul says 'mi shi ang'. This relates to a company called Misian, who produce this product.
Interesting. In Santiago, Chile (where I live) I was at a Korean grocery store yesterday with a Venezuelan friend (got that?), and we noticed that they sold toilet paper there. It's hard to imagine how different it could be to merit importing it all the way from Korea. But then, as I pointed out, I prefer American dishwashing detergent over Chilean, so there you go. Anyway, seems like "wet-wipes for adults" is what they meant.
Those seem like awfully huge boxes for only ten Vagina Wet Tissues For Lady! Unless the ct in 10ct is short for... uh... something else.

'WiFi everywhere' isn't a new concept, but it's becoming a dangerous one
Recently, Comcast made news by opening up home WiFi routers for use publicly. By partitioning your WiFi signal, the company hopes to blanket an area with a signal. This has become a polarizing issue, but shouldn't be for the reason of coverage alone. WiFi everywhere isn't a new concept — in fact, it was the original concept for the phone you might be reading this on.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Come! Enjoy sunny Basra! Avoid the markets! Flock to the
broken glass speckledsandy shores of the Shatt al-Arab! Drive really fast at a roadblock for a laugh! Wolf-whistle at local women! Shout "Shia sucks!" and see how the friendly locals react! There's so much to do!"
Basra (Arabic: البصرة) is Iraq's third largest city and an increasingly popular holiday resort. Of late British holidaymakers have flocked to the sunny haven; so much so that it has become known as the new Costa del Sol.
edit History
The resort which has come to be known as the "Venice of the Middle East"[1] first started out as a military encampment built by Caliph Umar. However the military site soon became exploited as a tourist destination for it's wonderful riverside beaches and many, many camels.
Unfortunately this popularity would backfire on Basra when a group of Mongol package holidayists arrived in the 14th Century. The Mongol's stay, more specifically their rowdy, drink-influenced behaviour, led to the complete destruction of the city and a re-site 10 kilometres up river. This new development, still with an abundance of beautiful riverside beaches and many, many camels, became the city of modern times. A city which, while suffering the odd bit of vandalism by visiting Iranians and adventure seeking Americans out looking for a fun time, has generally gone from strength to strength while still mantaining a family friendly atmosphere.
However, since March 2003 the resort has beared witness to the "invasion" of a substantial number of Brits and Americans (again). While the Americans moved on quickly, apparently seeking a "more extreme experience"[2], the increase in British visitors has generally soured the mood amongst locals; while at first they welcomed the increase in revenue, of late they have tired of their antics, makeshift holiday camps[3] and threats of inviting Prince Harry to the party. Despite this, the locals still remain reasonably warm and welcoming to foreigners.
edit Sights
edit Mosques
If they're not under siege or playing host to your friendly neighbourhood warlord, the mosques of Basra can be a sight to behold. This is especially true at dusk, when the soft light pours through the holes ripped through the roofs of the mosques by rocket propelled grenades and cascades over the tiled walls in a quite spiritual way.
edit Tanks
There are a sizeable number of tank carcases dotted around Basra from the Iran-Iraq War and the two Gulf Wars, see if you can spot them all without setting off a roadside bomb.
edit The Anah Minaret
Stand in front of the palm tree surrounded Anah Minaret and think how beautiful Basra once was, then turn around, look at the flame lit sky, and leave.
edit AccommodationWith the recent influx of Brits, vacancies in the hotels in Basra are very rare. As are hotels. Or any kind of infrastructure for that matter.
However British holiday camps have been springing up around the outskirts of Basra ever since 2003. All that is required for you to stay there is a 12 week training programme and a tolerance of mortar fire. It is highly suggested that stays are booked in advance; driving up to said holiday camps in a car filled with boxes, water tubs and tent poles unannounced will only end in disappointment.
It is also suggested that the self-catering option is avoided due to the lack of food, water, electricity, gas and intact marketplaces in Basra.
edit Entertainment
Due to Iraq being a Muslim country, alcohol a is rarity. Meaning that anyone looking for a diversion that doesn't wish to visit an Afghani Hashish Den must look for other means of entertainment.
edit The Shatt al Arab
"Now 45% oil spill free!"
If you can avoid the sea mines, friendly Iranian border patrol guards and flaming oil spills, the Shatt al Arab can be a pleasant place for an afternoons swim with the kids. The sandy banks of the river can provide a pretty good spot for a riverside barbecue, a spot of sunbathing or a good old fashioned stoning.
edit Join the Insurgency
For a one-off starting fee paid to your nearest disgruntled ex-postman militia leader you can be given an insurgency starter pack. In this pack comes your standard RPG, AK47, fertiliser, detonators and suicide belt, plus a handy manual complete with map highlighting the nearest markets, school yards and transport system bottlenecks. From there, Basra is your proverbial oyster, so long as you don't threaten any oil supplies or Coalition troops, you're free to kill whoever you want, wherever you want.
And then, after all the killing, maiming and cowardly bomb attacks, you might even be employed in the unofficial police service by the Coalition Forces! It's win win.
edit Religious Violence
It's highly recommended that you go around saying that temporary marriages are a good thing. The Sunnis love that shit.
edit Cuisine
Once a bastion of traditional Iraqi food, the Western contractors neglected to rebuild the traditional food outlets that were destroyed in the invasion for some reason. Thus, instead of the customary falafel, harissa or mujaddara, you now have the choice between McDonald's and Starbucks, enjoy.

A Taste of Belly Dance: Los Angeles
Saturday, January 18, 2014 from 10:30 AM to 8:00 PM (PST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Weee! One more day until "Taste"! Online sales have ended, but there are still limited workshop spaces and show tickets available at the door! Cash only please; we won't be able to break bills larger than a $20.00. <3
Workshops will still be $36.00 at the door, and show tickets are still only $12.00 for the entire day: that's for vending, festival and evening show! If you are only coming to the evening show, tickets will be $15.00 after 6:00pm.
So that there's no confusion, here is the day's schedule for Saturday, January 18th:
10:30am - 3:10pm - Workshops
2:00pm - 8:00pm - Vending and Yalla Truck
3:15pm - 6:00pm - Day Festival
6:15pm - 8:00pm - Evening Show
There are still a few workshop spots left, grab yours while you can!
See you Saturday!
On Saturday, January 18, 2014, celebrate being part of a vast, socially diverse culture and community!
The Third Annual "A Taste of Belly Dance: Los Angeles" Festival is offering another healthy sampling of the best that Los Angeles has to offer!
Geared toward spotlighting the artists, entrepreneurs and educators within our blossoming belly dance community, we hope to share the beauty of this dance with all of Los Angeles.
Each year, we try to bring the festival to YOU, and this year, we are proud to be able to host our event in another of Los Angeles County's beautiful cities: EL SEGUNDO!
Smoky Hollow Studios is an easy commute, has plenty of free parking and is a change from the busy streets of Hollywood. The amazing industrial warehouse has a vast 5400 square feet of open space for us to shop and dance in!
Surrounded by authentic rustic cinder block, there are also numerous original metal framed windows allowing for
stunning, ever-changing natural light.
Equipped with two fully handicap accessible restrooms, comforting furniture design and the most amazing French country style kitchen
, all of it leaving you wondering whether you are in a New York loft, a European hideaway...or perhaps in good old El Segundo.
We never quite realize how large and beautiful our county is, and this year we want to hold it in one of our neighboring cities!
Saturday, January 18, 2014
10:30 am - 3:10 pm
Just as last year, there will be two full workshop offerings as well as a free mini-workshop to introduce you to and give you another taste of one of L.A.'s amazing teachers!
We are introducing a new "Taste" format of workshops this year! These workshops will be sold as bundles, with each subject being broken down into three 40-minute segments and taught three different teachers with a specific focus on aspects of that genre!
Bundles may not be broken up or sold separately, but are offered at a price you cannot resist: only $36.00 for a bundle of three classes! That's two hours and ten minutes with three amazing teachers for only $36.00 per bundle!
This years' genre workshops will be: A "Taste of Technique" and A "Taste of American Cabaret"!
Let us introduce you to the workshop instructors and bundles!:
"TASTE OF TECHNIQUE" - 10:30am - 12:40pm
NASILA - "Shimmies and Shapes"
10:30am - 11:10am
A belly dancer's goal is to be the visual representation of the music. Learn how to safely draw shapes with your body to form the most basic of belly dance moves. Then, explore the many shimmies and vibrations that dancers use to embellish these shapes and highlight a song's percussive sections. We'll explore lines, circles, and figure eights, then work on powerful standing shimmies and techniques for using shimmies with traveling moves.
MICHAELLA - "Layer It On"
11:15am - 11:55am
This Taste of Belly Dance workshop will focus on developing polished layers and incorporating them into a dynamic dance combination. Learn methods for fluid arms, traveling patterns and to systematically layer isolations. We will wrap up with a short combintion incorporating our new layered sequence.
Open to all levels, this workshop is designed to be accessible and challenging for the experienced beginner to the advanced dancer.
GIGI - "Traveling and Turns"
12:00am - 12:40am
Don't "turn" your back on turns! Turns add drama, elegance, and flair to a performance, and they are also a great way to travel. This workshop will give you a few do-able, at-home exercises to perfect your turn by helping you discover your center of gravity and find your visual spot. Build your bellydance vocabulary with a few turns (3 point, attitude, and drag) and learn 1-2 traveling turn combos that you'll be able to immediately incorporate in your dance.
Socks or ballet slippers recommended.
FREE MINI WORKSHOP - 12:42pm - 12:57pm
LEON - "Ethno Fusion Belly Dance"
12:42pm - 12:57pm
This class will warm you up and get you going as it fuses solid latin dance techniques --- from samba to cha-cha-cha --- to salsa and flamenco, as well as influences from African dances, with belly dance!
*This class is gratis, but please feel free to make a donation to the instructor if you are moved!
"TASTE OF AMERICAN CABARET" - 1:00pm - 3:10pm
HELENA - "Stage Entrances and Finales"
1:00pm - 1:40pm
Helena will show you different approaches to making your Entrances and Finales appropriate, yet strong for the venue of your performance. Navigate large stages or dance floors with more traveling steps and turns to make good use of the large space, and utilize props such as Veils, Isis wings or Fan Veils to amplify your performance. From small spaces to large, Helena will show you ways to create and effectively make your performance fabulous without over-dramatizing it in a small space or leaving a large space un-used.
JENNA - "Classic Cabaret Veil"
1:45pm - 2:25pm
In this workshop, Jenna will focus on the 2nd part of the classic 5-part bellydance routine that she learned from Serena of NYC. Never choreographed, always creative, the dancer enters swathed in her chiffon veil, zilling away to an energetic beat…as the rhythm slows to a 'rhumba' or 'bolero', she slowly and artfully unwrapps herself from the temporary covering, dancing all the while. Jenna will introduce different wraps and sample several ways to maneuver your way out of them while painting your stage with color and framing your movements with mystery.

Current Hosted System Solutions Program Participants
Five states and two counties are currently using Overseas Vote's Hosted Systems Solutions to serve their voters. These are Alabama, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Vermont, Bernalillo County, NM, and Okaloosa County, FL.
Voter outreach organizations using Overseas Vote's Hosted System Solutions include The League of Women Voters' VOTE411.org, Rock the Vote, National Associations of Colleges and Universities, iVoteIsrael, Democrats Abroad, ExxonMobilCAT and FAWCO.
These states and voter outreach organizations are now able to easily provide complete, online, interactive overseas and military voter registration services to voters coming to their websites.
What some the states are saying about the HSS Program...
Alabama Secretary of State
"On behalf of Alabama's military and overseas voters I feel that OVF is one of the most innovative and progressive programs in the elections arena. We are proud to be among the first to offer quality voter registration services to our military and overseas voters," stated Beth Chapman, Alabama Secretary of State. "That is what why we will launch our own HSS site," added Secretary Chapman.
Minnesota Secretary of State
Mark Ritchie, Secretary of State of Minnesota was the first Secretary to seek out and license the OVF HSS solution, http://minnesota.overseasvotefoundation.org. "We experienced an increase of 400% in overseas citizen and active-duty military voting in 2008. The OVF HSS program is precisely what we needed to make this happen. We are proud to provide these new services from Minnesota to the long-deployed members of the National Guard, many of whom were first time military voters last year," said Secretary Ritchie.

5.0 stars 12 totalReview Cynthia Ciancio
Posted by Kirk
Cyndy, Nate and Ed were a fantastic team to work with. I received immediate responses and help, often on the weekend or late hours. They were knowledgeable, kind, understanding and always on top of every problem. It was a challenging situation and divorce for multiple reasons and they handled it very professionally. I would recommend them without hesitation!
Posted by Annette
Divorce is a traumatic time, but having Cyndy in my corner made all the difference. She listens, is fair, honest, and will not sugar coat anything. She will tell you how your case will realistically turn out, and will fight for you. Her combination of compassion and toughness gave me comfort, along with her excellent staff who helped me from start to finish in a long legal battle. I would recommend her to anyone.
Posted by Shaun
Cyndi help keep things in perspective during my divorce process. She was clear with advice and recommendations. Honest and fair even when telling me something I didn't want to hear. Her knowledge and expertise brought comfort and clarity during a time when I was struggling. Cyndi's considerate of her clients needs and tough when needed. I would recommend her to anyone.
Posted by anonymous
Divorce is never easy, and mine was particularly difficult. Cyndy worked with me to utilize my spouse's earnings history to defeat a motion for spousal support, as well as protect assets that were mine prior to the marriage and should rightfully be excluded from consideration as marital assets. She respected my insights on various issues and consulted with me regarding the correct responses to motions from opposing counsel, allowing me to be fully integrated in all proceedings. She was accessible throughout the process, even responding to my texts and e-mails on weekends. Cyndy is a class act, and I would absolutely retain her again if needed.

Cynthia came highly recommended to me from a prosecuting attorney 3 years ago. She has helped me for several years in a handfull of marital Separation Agreement questions, actions, and a contempt of court case that I filed. Her advice and work has been excellent in every situation. Cynthia has proven to be much more than a lawyer, in that she brings a wonderful sensitivity to the legal, business, and emotional aspects with her clients. She is just great to work with in so many ways! I have also benefited from 3 other attorneys in her office when specialized legal expertise was needed. I am happy to give Cynthia Ciancio and her firm my highest recommendation.
Posted by Bobby
Cyndi is simply the best. She is knowledgeable and well connected. Her expertise gave me a six-figure benefit!
Posted by Mark
We came in contact with Cyndy through a trusted friend's network who is an attorney, but who neither resided in Colorado nor practiced family law. Cyndy's reputation immediately propelled her to the front of the list of possibilities through others who knew her. The timing was critical, because we had just been basically screwed by another attorney who was on the case, charged us more for his time, and failed to be at a very important court appearance. Cyndy came on at short notice and used personal time to catch up to all of the details. She was caring and intent, focused on restoring what had been previously destined to be a very destructive outcome. She is not arrogant, that is, she listens to her clients, and tries to be persuasive in directing energy into where it might most be beneficial in a judicial environment. Many attorneys will spend a great deal of time and their client's funds to grandstand their intelligence to captive clients, but Cyndy's great value is her intent on patiently allowing her reputation to be established in the favorable results she generates for her customers. Once her research is complete, and it is complete, she goes very aggressively and vigorously in pursuit of her client's rights. In our case, with the help of information that had been overlooked by our previous attorney, she was able to leverage and actually reverse a threat against our adversary. Our opponent had no choice but to retreat. Then she went after our previous attorney, and was able to completely eradicate inflated charges that were destined to go to a collection agency. We were impressed in every way with Cyndy and her staff, and the way she positively reflected the confidence that other professionals placed in their recommendations of her. Your worst nightmare would be if you saw her on the other side of a lawsuit, and the best relief if you contacted her first.

I realized right when I met Cyndy she was the lawyer I wanted for my divorce. She clearly helped my understand what she could do for me. In a time of stress she was a voice a reason. I felt she was being honest and fair. I knew that even though not everything feels fair at the time her knowledge and expertise would insure a fair outcome. She was able to represent me in a way that I felt was being true to who I was and more importantly making sure my family would be able to move forward in the most positive way possible.
Cyndy's combination of toughness and compassion is one of the things I think make her so successful. I have a lot of respect for her.
Posted by anonymous
Cynthia helped me with a divorce almost three years ago in Broomfield. She was proactive with opposing counsel and helped keep the timeline on target. As a former legal assistant, I appreciated her professionalism and knowledge.
Posted by Anthony
As a male family man, I was nervous in my Divorce and Child Custody hearings that the propaganda created by my Ex would really affect my receiving a fair hearing from the courts.
In my dealing with Cyndy Ciancio, she provided the following:
1. Obtained Valuable Parenting Rights;
2. Maininted and Proteced my assets and rights of what
I contributed thoughout my marraige;
3. Understood and grasped who I was and my committment
to the children and how important my role is to the children
and their future;
4. Even when I speak with her now, she remembers the details
of my case.
By the way, I was referred to Cyndy by internal court staff
members that thought of her as a quality attorney.
Thank You Cyndy!

. . .Media Center
The three lower cupboards were transformed into distinct zones for games, DVDs, and CDs. An upper shelf, once crammed with liquor bottles, contains a single tray of the brands the couple serves most frequently. A deep basket hides cameras, chargers, and memory cards. CDs, categorized by genre, are now contained in canvas binders. DVDs and cover art were slipped into dust- and scratch-resistant see-through sleeves that stand vertically in plastic bases. (The plastic cases were recycled; visit greendisk.com for more info.) Massive floor speakers were swapped for compact white bookshelf speakers. For more details, see A Media Center Makeover.

I second this! One of my coworkers is a close enough friend that she would say something if she noticed, but she hasn't! I thought for SURE she would, but nope! :-) Just goes to show we judge ourselves more harshly than everyone else. READ COMMENT
Thank you so much. I know what you're feeling well. I was so afraid before hand, I almost didn't do it. But now I couldn't be happier. Just remember - this is your body. If you're unhappy with the implants now after having them for as... READ COMMENT
Regarding recovery - for me it was much easier than I thought it would be. I also had mine under the muscle, and had them out in the fold which the doc said was the easiest for recovery. I took a pain pill the night of removal, and then... READ COMMENT
Thanks! It really is funny. Before my BA I thought I was abnormally flat. Now looking back at photos I really don't see it. I'm learning to love my body for what it is. It feels soooo good not to have implants anymore! :-) READ COMMENT
