text: headaches and nausea after the first day?? Feb 17, 2013 0:00:09 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by ladykatie86 on Feb 17, 2013 0:00:09 GMT -5 Hello! Yesterday was my first day, it went really well and I felt very full but stayed on plan! However, I let myself get really hungry at bedtime (early dinner/not realizing I was so hungry around 10pm and just drinking an herbal tea) and I actually felt pretty awful all night and into the morning. As I ate my eggs in the morning I was feeling really nauseous and I have a pretty bad headache. Withdrawal from sugary carbs? I did have an E meal yesterday, but an apple was my main carb for that meal, an apple with a teensy bit of PB, grilled chicken over a salad with season salt and lime on top. Other than that I had S meals. Sorry, I am committed to this and am not going to stop! I just wonder if this is normal or if anyone else has experienced this. SO grateful for a board where I can ask these questions! It helps me stay the course!!

We caught-up with Owens while he was on the road, traveling from Seattle to Everett, Washington, where he was set to watch the A's short-season affiliate, the Vancouver Canadians.
OaklandClubhouse: You've mentioned how the goal of the organization this off-season was to strengthen the farm system. Was there an area in particular that the organization was looking to strengthen or was it the system as a whole?
|Greg Smith is one of the young A's who has cut his teeth in the big leagues this season.
We also thought as far as the Michael Inoa situation, investing $4.25 million in the most talented 16-year-old kid out there, maybe in the world, we figured that that was a better investment than giving that money to a major league free agent in the downside of his career.
OC: Looking at the system now, do you have it where you want it, or is there more to do in terms of strengthening the system?
BO: I think the biggest thing is that we went from having one of the five worst – if you go by what the pundits like Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus said – to arguably the best farm system in baseball, all in the span of one year. It was a miraculous recovery. We've also learned something over the past two or three years that this has got to be a relentless approach. It can't be a situation where once we have graduated a few of these guys, we let up.
With the situation we have this year in the big leagues with the injuries, a couple of the young guys are actually learning in the big leagues on the fly where in past years when we have been in playoff contention, those players would be probably in the minor leagues. We have resolved that there will never, ever, ever be any kind of neglect to our younger players and to our farm system going forward. Our deals I think are stronger and we will never put ourselves in the situation again where we have to do this whole metamorphosis again.
|Billy Owens sees Adrian Cardenas as a future .300 hitter in the big leagues.
BO: Yeah, we've had draft picks and you can certainly scrutinize any draft and take a look at our hits and misses. But you can go all the way back to the Moneyball draft and you have Nick Swisher, who is a solid everyday player, and you have Joe Blanton, who is a solid third starter at the major league level. You've got Mark Teahen, who is an everyday player with the Kansas City Royals now for whom we were able to acquire Octavio Dotel. If you add that up, even though we did some other things with that draft, if you hit on three out of six or three out of seven picks that high in the draft, that is actually pretty good. So you can't really argue with some of the results. Maybe we are going to reposition ourselves to spend more money to get lucky later in the draft, but it is what it is [the past].
On October 26th last year, we had one of the worst farm systems in the game and now on October 26th, 2008, you can say without question that we are one of the top-five farm systems in the game and arguably number one.
OC: When you were out scouting the players that would eventually be acquired for Rich Harden and Joe Blanton, were you looking for a certain combination of players, or were the guys the team brought in all just guys individually that you liked?
|Chris Carter hit his 37th homer on Tuesday night.
Once you have both general managers come together in agreement, you do the deal. I read pundits that say we need this or that particular position. For some of the positions that they are talking about and some of the players that they are targeting, when I read these sites, you need a partner for those players to be available, you know what I mean? We definitely know who the better players are at those positions, but having a partner and having a team be interested in the guys that we would be willing to give up and then making a fair trade from that, that is not an easy thing to do.
I think we are happy with the bounty that we got [in both trades]. It is unfortunate that Sean Gallagher hasn't shown exactly what he is capable of, but he is 22 years old. Unfortunately, he was healthy as a horse before we got him and he's had the dead arm, tired arm deal since then. Eric Patterson is starting to slowly assert what he is capable of doing. We have been following him since all the way back into his high school days, and his days at Georgia Tech and we watched him torpedo through the system with the Cubs. Matt Murton at some point needs to revert back to playing the way that he is capable and that he has shown at the big league level in 800 at-bats. Josh Donaldson, he was a player that we bought low on. He has gone to the California League and has done great.
|Brett Hunter was one of several tough signs that the A's drafted and signed this season.
We are overjoyed with who we have. It is hard to turn a TV on, though. Rich Harden is one of the most talented players in baseball. He couldn't stay on the field for us and we had to do what we had to do. Joe Blanton was a pillar of health for us. Whether you liked Blanton or not, when you looked up, he was always pitching in the seventh inning. There is something to be said for that and hopefully he continues to do that. But we accomplished our goals with those deals.
OC: One of the players that you picked up this off-season, Chris Carter, I've read some things that sort of malign his abilities a little bit, but having watched him all season with Stockton, he just seems like one of the more exciting power hitters the team has had in a long time. What is your feeling about his ceiling as a power hitter and just as a player in general?
BO: As a player in general, Chris Carter is everything that we expected. I think he's even capable of more. He's got another notch or two to move up in terms of being the pure hitter that he is capable of. I think he is capable of being more consistent than he has shown this year. His power is amazing. Thirty-six homeruns already. His doubles are out of this world and his slugging percentage is fantastic. If you look at what he has done since June 1 on, it will boggle your mind.
To me, he's not a designated hitter. We've got to find a way to get a home for him, a defensive destination, where he is the most comfortable and productive, but he runs better than you think and he throws better than you think, so his final tally will not be as a designated hitter. He's got some ability on the defensive side of the ball.
|Billy Owens says that Billy Beane and Co. have a plan and that this season has gone according to that plan despite the big league struggles.
OC: The preliminary rosters have the A's will sending Andrew Carignan, Andrew Bailey, Sean Doolittle, Adrian Cardenas and Josh Donaldson to the Arizona Fall League. Are you excited about that group and where they might be at the end of the league?
BO: I live in the Phoenix, Arizona, area myself and that is the time of the year that I go to an Arizona Fall League game every day. The A's contingent of Arizona Fall Leaguers has been strong over the years, Huston Street among others, but this cast of characters this year is going to be among the best of all 30 teams in MLB and it is going to be fun to watch.
OC: How much of your scouting is done in Arizona during the fall when the AFL and the Arizona Instructional Leagues are going on and all of those prospects are together in one group?
BO: It's fun to see all of the guys congregated in one area, but it is also a situation where you have to put things into perspective. Certain pitchers threw a certain number of innings during the year, so they aren't quite ready. I remember seeing Ryan Zimmerman in the fall league. I had followed him all the way through when he was in college, so I knew what kind of player he was. It's funny because he got drafted and played Double-A first thing and then got called up in September and hit .400 in the major leagues that year. By the time he got to the Arizona Fall League, he was tired and played like seven days and he looked terrible. I could hear guys mumbling in the stands saying, 'I read about this guy and this guy doesn't have anything.' I was kind of chuckling because I knew what kind of player he was.
|Catcher Josh Donaldson, who was acquired in the Rich Harden deal, is scheduled to head to the Arizona Fall League.
A lot of times, it is a lot of relief pitchers that do well because they haven't had as many innings during the year so they are at full throttle. In most cases, your A-1 starting pitching prospect has accumulated a certain number of innings during the year, so he is usually going to be on a very short leash at the fall league or he isn't going to be there. So that affects everything there. 'Doc' Halladay pitched in the fall league in 1999, but more than likely, a guy of that caliber, you are not going to see in the fall league. The Instructional League is great for your new draftees to see what pro baseball is like and to get them used to the grind. It's good in terms of scouting for the body check, but it isn't the elixir.
OC: How much have you seen of Rashun Dixon and Nino Leyja in the Arizona Rookie League? What is your impression of them thus far?
BO: They are both really exciting. First, I was fortunate to be with Kelcey Mucker [A's area scout] and he did an excellent job of signing Rashun Dixon. Kelcey was with him every step of the way this year. He was beating down the table at the draft to get him. Me and Kelcey went down there and saw the kid play before we inked him and met the family. The mother is outstanding. She is going to be a very good support system for the kid, and the kid himself has outstanding make-up.
Rashun is a physical specimen. He is a plus runner. I shudder to think of being an opposing defensive back when he was running the football. He has tremendous bat speed and power potential. He already has the eight homeruns and you can see the stick-to-it-iveness of his character when you see that he has something like nine triples and only two doubles. When the ball is in the gap, he is coming like a locomotive. He's got tremendous make-up and desire and he is a physical specimen. He might even be a tick better or more advanced than Kelcey even thought when we signed him. I think going forward this kid is going to make amazing strides in the Instructional League.
Nino Leyja is an excellent hitter. The numbers are definitely indicative of his abilities. He's got a smooth swing and an advanced approach for anyone in the Rookie League, much less a 17-year-old kid. His bat stays in the 'zone a long time. Defensively, like any young shortstop or second baseman, he needs to be smoothed out, but for him to go straight to rookie ball at 17 years old and put up the numbers has been exciting.
|Rashun Dixon was a stand-out football player in high school.
This year, I think the fans don't realize it, but we accomplished what we set out to do. If we don't have any injuries at the big league level, we are actually over .500 and we might have been in position – well the Angels have the best record in the game – but we might have had a chance to challenge them for a while.
But going forward, we have shed our payroll and our farm system is back. It is exciting to turn on the computer every day and see what's happening, to see who did what where. Did Carter hit a homerun? Did James Simmons throw seven shut-out innings? Did Vince Mazzaro do his thing? It's been refreshing. You hate to turn the TV on at 7 o'clock at night sometimes, but Billy [Beane] has got a plan, like always. He is the best GM in the game and this plan is in place. We are going to take a mulligan on the 2008 season at the major league level, but this is going to be the impetus going forward of a dynasty-type situation again.
OC: Besides Inoa, is there anyone that you have seen over in the Dominican academy that might be coming over to the States next season that we should keep an eye out for?
BO: I think we did a good job in Venezuela signing Jose Sayegh and Diego Ledezma. We also signed a shortstop named Gabriela Santana recently. He is kind of a J.J. Hardy. A wiry body with a nice swing and power potential who can handle the position. We have guys going forward. I just think that our guy in Venezuela is awesome, Julio Franco. You take a look at the 40-man roster and we've got Gregorio Petit, Javier Herrera and Henry Rodriguez. These guys have signed for pauper prices and have made it all the way to the 40-man roster. Now we have given him the keys to the ignition a little bit and are spending a little more money.
Raymond Abreu is down in the Dominican and his legion of scouts are very capable and have been awesome over the years. Now we are committed. We are in the game. We aren't on the sidelines any more internationally. Randy Johnson has just been at the Olympics and he has been to Asia and Australia. We get his e-mails and reports and the web cams. We went from being on the sidelines to being a major player relatively quickly. This was part of Billy's plan. This Inoa kid, he is probably the best talent in Latin America along with Felix Hernandez and K-Rod. He's got those kind of capabilities as long as he stays healthy.
|Young Ryan Sweeney has been a bright-spot for Oakland this season.
We get our kudos throughout the game from people who have seen the guys we have acquired and have seen our young players at the big league level. It has been very exciting. It doesn't show in the wins and losses at the big league level, but when I turn on that computer at night after a long day of scouting and I see that Chris Carter has hit number 35 or 36 and I'm up late at night watching Brett Anderson throw seven innings to win a bronze medal, Adrian Cardenas is just born to hit, and Aaron Cunningham is hitting .300 with a .500 slugging percentage and a .340 OBP and looking like the Aaron Rowand comparisons, it's worth it. And every day is like that.
You just have a huge smile on your face and we are kind of that guy around the corner and you don't see us coming and then we will be hitting you right between the eyes and we will suddenly be good like we were in 2000 and the years after that.

I have severe plantar fasciitis and am required to wear business attire daily and walk an average of 3 miles throughout the day. These Earth Flats are so incredibly comfortable and cushioned in the heel that it doesn't hurt my feet to walk around all day. I bought a black pair 6 months ago and wore them out, bought the black and brown and couldn't be happier! if you commute and are in your feet all day, this is the shoe for you!
I love these shoes and buy them in different colors. It's difficult to find a wide shoe that also looks nice, and these have never disappointed.

Will you have dressy flat sandals this season similar to the seaside sandal I ordered last spring .
Our newest update to the Seaside is the Earth Sunbeam.
Do you carry the black leather Be;llwether in a 5.5 WIDE? I'm having a terrible time finding a shoe that fits. The 6 Wide is too big, comes right off my foot, and the 5 is too tight?
Thank you!
Unfortunately we do not have the 5.5 wide available.

Blowout In V-Town, 'Hide Win 21-8
'Hide erase 7-0 deficit in dramatic fashion
By Josh Jackson / Visalia Rawhide | August 18, 2013 8:48 PM ET
VISALIA - Daniel Watts was roughed up in the 1st inning by the Stockton Ports, giving up seven runs to put the Rawhide in an early hole. It looked like it would be a blowout from the start. As it turns out, it was a blowout, but the Rawhide were on the better end of it, as Visalia beat Stockton 21-8 on Sunday night at Rawhide Ballpark. Visalia tallied a single-game record 23 hits, outscoring Stockton 21-1 after the 1st inning.
The Ports bursted onto the scene with a flurry of hits and walks in the 1st inning to make things look gloomy for the Rawhide. B.A. Vollmuth, Antonio Lamas, and Phil Pohl all had RBI hits to get their rally started. Dusty Robinson capped off the scoring barrage with a three-run home run to left field to put the Rawhide in an early 7-0 hole.
Stockton threatend to pile on more in the 2nd inning, loading the bases before the Rawhide could record an out. But Watts got Vollmuth to fly out to shallow right and struck out Lamas and Pohl to prevent any further damage. Watts pitched just 2.1 innings and allowed eight earned runs. Despite the rugged scoreline, Watts has to be credited with keeping the Ports off the board in the 2nd inning.
After the first frame was completed, Rawhide broadcaster Donny Baarns said, "It may sound cliche, but the Rawhide need to look to just chip away at this Stockton lead." The Rawhide chipped away and then some starting with a four run rally in the 2nd inning.
David Peralta hit a two-run home run to get the Rawhide on the board. Sean Jamieson and Gerson Montilla followed with RBI-base knocks to make it a three-run game.
Evan Marzilli and Jamieson continued the comeback in the 4th inning with an RBI-triple and sacrifice fly respectively. Montilla hit a solo shot to make it a one-run deficit at 8-7.
Then came the big two-out rally in the bottom of the 5th inning. Marzilli got it started with an RBI-double to tie it. Two batters later, Montilla laced a two-RBI single to right to give the Rawhide the permanent lead. Jake Lamb rounded out the rally with a two-RBI double. It was the first of two innings the Rawhide would bat around the lineup.
The 'Hide would do it again in the 7th inning, sending 10 men to the plate as part of a five-run rally. Marzilli capped it off with an RBI-double. Marzilli had perhaps the most impressive performance of all the Rawhide batters, going 5-for-6 with a single, three doubles and a triple, falling just a home run short of the illusive cycle.
It was a night in which every single Rawhide batter recorded a hit. Visalia was kept off the scoreboard in just two frames, putting up five crooked numbers. Montilla was 3-for-6 with a home run and four RBI, extending his hitting streak to eight games. Ronnie Freeman was also impressive, going 3-for-5 with a run scored. Jake Lamb was also 3-for-6 with two RBI and two runs scored.
Visalia forced Stockton to use seven pitchers, including position player Wade Kirkland in the 8th inning.
The unsung hero was the winning pitcher Conrad Flynn (W, 6-6) who tossed 3.2 innings of scoreless relief, which allowed the Rawhide to stage the epic comeback.
With the win, the Rawhide increase their wild card lead over Stockton to four games. Visalia will have the day off tomorrow before hosting the Modesto Nuts for an important three-game series at Rawhide Ballpark starting on Tuesday night at 7:00 pm.

I am debating whether to pack boots for our trip. We leave on 5/14.
It looks like the temperatures have warmed up in Anchorage and Juneau, which I would think would have melted any snow on the ground. Right or wrong?
My Mom is 86 and is concerned about whether she needs boots or not. The excursions we are taking are pretty tame, in case that makes a difference.
Thank you.
I would not worry too much about boots, although I do think you should bring waterproof shoes that get some traction, in the event that you are doing nature stuff in wet ground/mud. I have a pair of shoes that look like sneakers, but are made for hiking and are water proof. The shoes that used to be referred to as "duck shoes" are also good. One thing I would definitely suggest is a waterproof gortex hat, with a broad brim which allows the rain to run off. That was probably one of the most useful items I had. Finally, since I am on a roll, I strongly advise that if you are taking a camera, that you purchase a couple of plastic bag type sleeves which will allow you to keep the camera dry, while you shoot photos through an opening in the bag. The useful thing about these is that the contain a drawstring which you can close around the lens sticking out. Very useful weather-related item. Also have microfiber lens cleaning cloth to wipe off rain drops from lens so you wont get them in your photos. Sorry to make this message so long. Have fun!
Waterart, the message wasn't too long--it was great! Thank you for all the helpful information.

That's a nice idea, but it depends so intimately on the host's network configuration, that it doesn't work in practice (in my experince), except in some rather fixed configurations. The problem is: when you attach a bridge device, then all the host's IP configuration has to be done on the bridge device instead of the host's network interfaces. That means either: - Host's network configuration (outside the management tool) must create bridges in advance (with one port) _just_ so that VM management can attach to the bridge. It's hardly transparent. Doesn't work at all with NetworkManager or any ordinary host network configurations, for example. And you have to do it in advance, not when starting VMs. - Or, the VM management tool must create bridges when VMs are started, and then copy the IP configuration from the host network interface to the bridge, and it must somehow trick the host's DHCP client to moving to the bridge interface, etc. This doesn't work with NetworkManager either. Quite possibly it's a mess because of the way Linux does bridging, but still it is. I haven't found any solution which works on a laptop running NetworkManager or other automatic network binding service. For servers with static IPs and simple network configuration it is easier, and of course a VM management tool can always handle specific cases like that, if told to. But even on servers, I find if they have a complex host network configuration (e.g. policy routing tables), adding bridges for the VMs is not something that can be done automatically. Ideally, there would be a way to add a "bridge for VM" which hangs off the edge of the host's networking, instead of disruptively having to be in the middle. The pcap interface is close to that for ease of configurability, but a bridge would behave better, especially with multiple VMs, and maybe perform better. -- Jamie

Members club for artisanal ice cream in Manhattan
Manhattan Milk Company reacquainted downtown New Yorkers with doorstep deliveries of bottled milk. Now, another local startup is hoping to, um, milk the same market. Soon to officially launch, Milk Made is offering New Yorkers the chance to have a pint of freshly-made ice cream delivered to their doorstep every month. The service will be by subscription only, and will give members the chance to submit flavour ideas and see how their ice cream is made, as well as attend Milk Made ice cream parties. Pricing for the service is still being finalised, and Milk Made expects to be able to accommodate about 50 members.

Patrick Gaspard
Patrick Gaspard
Local 1199
The Marxist/Socialist Genealogy
of Patrick Gaspard
Dad29 blog
says Patrick Gaspard is a powerful man. And he has a very
sketch set of friends, mentors, acquaintances, collaborators, and
running dog pals.In June 2009 Patrick Gaspard, a
Brooklyn-based, 41-year-old Democratic operative, became White House
director of the Office of Political Affairs -- And he has a lot
in common with Obama.Gaspard has ties to the groups behind
ACORN --the groups that helped Obama during his Chicago days --
Democratic Socialists of America and the Communist Party offshoot, the
Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism.
Like Obama, Patrick Gaspard wrote poetry. Like Obama ,
Patrick Gaspard grew up admiring third world leftists and
revolutionaries. He reportedly
idolized Aime Cesaire, a radical poet/politician
from the French colony of Martinique.He was also behind
the civil unrest following the police shooting of Amadou Diallo in New
York City -- and was asked to stir up trouble by (ta-da!) SEIU -- which
had been a target of HUAC in 1948.The Communist influence in
SEIU 1199 never diminished, until ......the Communist
Party split in 1991, several Local 1199 officials joined the dissenting
faction and took many comrades into the breakaway Committees of
Correspondence. Friedman, Pizarro, Jacques and Garcia
all went on to support Committees of Correspondence. Pizarro also
went on to help found the radical
New Party, which Obama joined in Chicago in 1995
By 2001 Gaspard was a leading activist in the New Party
offshoot, the New York Working Families Party -- a DSA-ACORN-Committees
of Correspondence-Communist Party collaboration.
In 2003, Patrick Gaspard was granted leave from Local 1199 to
work as the deputy national field director for the presidential campaign
of Howard Dean. After Dean was eliminated from the race, Gaspard
became national field director for George Soros' political action group
America Coming Together (ACT).
New Zeal blogsite has a LOT more information for purposes of
understanding the hard-left Obama collection of "czars" -- and Obama's
seemingly unhinged foreign and domestic policies.HT:
Several days ago, Capital Research Center's Matthew Vadum
published research here indicating an ACORN alumni in the White
House (other than the president): Political Director Patrick Gaspard.
As I did
weeks prior at
ACORNcracked.com, Matthew used a Wade Rathke blog as the source,
which Rathke, the founder of ACORN, immediately changed after Vadum's
report, citing "memory tricks." Politico
led the way in poo-pooing the connection once Rathke played
Rathke said it not only on his blog, but also at a book signing in
New Orleans, which was recently covered in the Fox News Special:
The Truth About ACORN." While we attended that book signing
and were not able to get that portion on tape, the Fox documentary crew
did. Sadly, the remarks apparently ended up on the cutting room
The fact is, Patrick Gaspard, Obama's
"Glue Man," is more important than Van Jones ever hoped of being.
The fact is, one of the most critical and influential jobs in a White
House, the Director of Political Affairs, is occupied by a former SEIU
health care lobbyist and ACORN organizer. To be exact, he was
Executive Vice President–the #2–at SEIU 1199 in New York City.
After Gaspard was appointed to the White House,
Carribbean Voice quoted him as saying, "I grew up in 1199…and I will
always be an 1199er wherever I am." SEIU's luxury is that now
taxpayers are paying for it.

BANGOR---When Bishop Robert P. Deeley visited with younger students at the St. Mary campus (kindergarten through grade three) of All Saints Catholic School in Bangor on Wednesday, March 2, activities included reading Hop on Pop to the kindergarteners in celebration of Dr. Seuss Day, being treated to displays of original artwork, and answering a variety of thoughtful questions excitedly posed by third graders, including what animal he would be if he could choose.
"A giraffe," said the bishop to the laughing children. "That way I could look ahead and see if there was any traffic!"
But when the maturity and critical thinking levels naturally rose along with the age of the students at the school's St. John campus (grades four through eight), so did the seriousness of the students' questions.
"How do you know God is real?" asked a sixth grader in the school's gymnasium during a question and answer session with the bishop.
"We experience God," explained the bishop. "I think that the world shows us that it comes from somewhere. I can't think of any other reason other than there is a God. The other piece that I think is important is that I worry about what we would be like if there wasn't a God. There is a God who watches over all of us and reminds us that we have to care for one another. In experiencing God, we are also reminded that we are not God."
A seventh grader asked the bishop what Heaven would be like.
"In Heaven, we will be in the presence of pure love, which is God," the bishop responded. "We will want for nothing and we will be happy. We sometimes think of that in earthly terms, like 'Great, I'll have all the ice cream I want,' but it's a different state of being. I'll be happy to get there, if that's what God wants, because I know I will be happy."
During his time with the students, the bishop also discussed the significance of attending All Saints and described what sets Catholic schools apart from others.
"Becoming the person that God wants you to be is the mission and goal of this Catholic school," said the bishop. "It's the mission and goal of the Church. So your education in math, science, history, and all of those things, is not separate from your religion. Trust each other and respect each other because God has created us to love. That is the character of this school."
Fr. Timothy Nadeau, pastor of St. Paul the Apostle Parish in Bangor, Fr. Brad Morin, parochial vicar at the parish, and Joseph Gallant, principal of All Saints, accompanied Bishop Deeley on his visit Wednesday. Before leaving, the students presented the bishop with an All Saints sports bag and coffee cup among other gifts.

So that's that.
What was announced a couple of weeks ago has been confirmed by the UK government this afternoon: the nuclear project at Hinkley Point is going ahead as planned.
After the contract was signed by all involved – basically the British, French and Chinese governments – it was *finally* released for the world to see.
Kind of.
Redactions aside, there were a few eye-catching statements in the document dump.
Most startling perhaps was the UK government admitting that the renewable energy alternatives to Hinkley could, in fact, be cheaper.
In its 'Value for Money' assessment, the government states that power from Hinkley Point C "is within the range of the costs of alternative large-scale low-carbon generation technologies in the 2020s".
Though it does kind of contradict itself further down the page, the government says the £92.50 per MWh consumers will pay for Hinkley power is cost competitive with offshore wind (which could be as cheap as £81) and considerably more expensive than large scale solar (£65-92) and onshore wind (£49-90).
It essentially disqualifies the latter two by claiming the grid would need upgrading and balancing costs to be taken into account.
But it has no such defence for offshore wind.
The Committee on Climate Change, which advises the government, estimates that 'balancing costs' for offfshore wind amounts to roughly £7 per MWh.
And that's not mention that, with offshore windfarms in Denmark and the Netherlands already far cheaper than £81, the government's post-2020 projections look awfully expensive.
According to previous statements from ministers, offshore wind is well on track to hit its £100 per MWh target by the end of the decade so I don't know where that £132 per MWh comes from.

Peter Graf, the father of tennis star Steffi Graf, was released from a German prison Wednesday after serving more than half of his almost four-year sentence for tax evasion.
The highest Baden-Wuerttemberg state court overturned a district court decision earlier this month denying Graf an early release.
Graf, 59, was sentenced in January 1997 to three years, nine months for evading taxes on $6.55 million of his daughter's tennis earnings.

In many instances of travel blogging you will want to share your route with your audience. Although I've looked at many travel blogs in my time, I've yet to find a consistent program or application that they all seem to be using to make travel maps. I think that's more because there simply isn't a front runner when it comes to creating routes. Given the wide variety of programs out there to display one's route, I'd like to go through a few and illustrate, from a user perspective, what I consider to be the pros and cons of each.
In this article we're going to look at the following FREE programs/applications for creating travel maps:
Overview: This was the first application I was drawn to because at a surface level it seemed to have all the functionality that I desired. It is powered by Bing.
How It Works: Essentially you create flash maps on the website and then you can embed the source code in your post/page. The login that you create on UMapper.com hosts all of your maps, and as you update them, anywhere else that you embed them gets updated along with them, because they are all referencing the source. This is a really nice feature and allows you the flexibility to make simple changes later on without having to update everywhere you might have put it. In order to do this, however, you need the UMapper plugin. They have one for wordpress and drupal.
Account Types: UMapper has a free basic version as well as two paid levels, they discuss the differences in their comparison chart. Everything I discuss here is doable with the basic version.
Features: What I really like about UMapper is its ease of use. It's pretty quick to get going and you don't need a tutorial to start creating a map. They have a variety of templates (standard, weather maps, etc) that you can choose from. You can also custom load travel maps, though this is somewhat limited in how many with the basic version. You have full control over the style of the lines and markers and can include some basic text and pictures in the markers themselves.
It's probably important to mention as well that UMapper has a bit of a social media side to it as well. We haven't fooled around with it much but from what I gather you can tweet it and share it on facebook. There is also some opportunity to advertise with it (NOTE: not sure if you can do this is basic version), as most maps are public and can be viewed by other UMapper users depending on the privacy settings you have set.
Overview: I came across Tripline from another travel blog. It's an application by google that allows you to create embeddable animated maps.
How It Works: In many ways it shares a lot of similarities to UMapper. Through the site you can create travel maps (public or private). You simply input the cities that you want, and the time frames that you're there, and it does the rest. It also has an added functionality where you can upload pictures and it sorts them out by location and time frame, essentially building your trip for you based on your photographs.
Account Types: As far as I can tell there is only one, basic/free version.
Summary: Again, I praise this application for it's ease of use, probably even easier than UMapper. Where I think it really lacks is in styling. As far as I can tell, you cannot even change the color of the line/route – it has to be red. In that sense, you have very little control over the style of your map and the template that it uses. As a result, all maps will pretty much look the same (with the exception, of course, of the route being different).
That said, there is what I'll call a "bill board" functionality. That is, at each destination point, you can embed pictures and text that come up on click. This is really nice and more sophisticated than I think UMapper's capability.
Also, the big thing is the animation. Tripline animates the route in the order where you hit the destinations, so in one map you have both a static AND a dynamic version. Frankly, it's always nicer to have a dynamic option when available. Lastly, this has what seems to be a very thorough social media integration.
Overview: I would say right now Primap is probably my go to of the three. It is an entirely separate program that supports a wide variety of functionality.
How It Works: Primap is it's own program that you download and use.
Account Types: There is a free version, a personal version and a professional version.
Summary: Primap is definitely the most complicated of the three and not the most user friendly but that's a result of all the cool things you can do with it. If you are someone who really likes to have full control over their map experience then this is what I recommend. While creating the map is not the most intuitive process it comes with a tutorial on the website which highlights the major features and walks you through creating a map. The tutorial is very well written and while it doesn't go over everything you get a sense for what you can and cannot do.
There is a wide variety of maps that you can choose from, often country specific. That said, as far as I can tell there is no way to upload a custom map so while there are many choices, they are the only ones. Once you pick a template it is fairly simple to create static maps and you have complete control over the style of the lines, markers, and images. Even more so, you can customize the look of the town markers, titles and labels. The only thing I dislike about the style is that in the free version they have obnoxiously put primap.com as repeating in the background (it's not terribly visible but it's certainly less than ideal).
When all is said and done it is relatively easy to change your static map to an animated map. Again, the theme is full control. You can customize the speed at which the route is traversed, if you want some lines to stay steady while others move. You can have pictures fade and react over time. Lastly, the best part is that all of this can be exported into a movie file that can be incorporated into a larger movie file, say if you're highlighting your trip experience and want the route to be part of a larger video.
awesome article, really helpful guys – thanks! 🙂
Great resource, guys. Maybe I can embed an animated map showing my route thus far using one of these tools. Never thought that would be feasible before.
Was looking at the UMapper plug-in and it hasn't been updated in almost 3 years… is that a reason to be concerned?
For what it is worth, I have been mucking around with both UMapper and Tripline… from the perspective of a guy who is always complaining how un-tech savvy he is, Tripline was heads above UMapper IMHO. But again, thanks for this post, I would not have found either if it weren't for your work.
Hey Dave & Vicky — a bit of a late response to this, but I wonder if you had a look at our mapping tool on Travellerspoint at all? I think it compares quite favourably to these, but would love to know your thoughts on it! 🙂
Hi, if anyone woul be searching for travel map creator – just check the wasthere.com approach! You create map with address yourname.wasthere.com (or, if you wish you can use alias: yourname.wa.sthe.re) Enjoy!
check out http://www.tripmark.com/trip-planner (I know this is a old post, but it's a modern HTML5 embedable map tool) — for those that are trying the above two sites and finding out they have not been updated.
A very simple alternative is http://www.travelroutemap.com
Just add locations to create a map that displays the route between cities.

Amman May Nix Bus Rapid Transit
Anonymous sources interviewed for an article in the Jordan Times say that although the proposed BRT project looks good on paper, the committee tasked with assessing the system "...has faced 'political pressure' to drop the project altogether."
Itir Sonuparlak of The City Fix summarizes the proposed project:
"The initial plans of the BRT called for three routes, totaling 32 kilometers (20 miles.) The BRT service was designed with premium, high-capacity buses running along Amman's busiest corridors on exclusive and completely segregated lanes, each one carrying 120 passengers and running on three-minute intervals during rush hour."

What is it with men and T-shirts listing concert tour dates?
On the way to a John Mellencamp concert, there are men sporting tour-date T-shirts for other bands. They are saying, "Look at me, I've been to other gigs too."
Then in the venue itself, the crush around the T-shirt counter is greater than around the bar. These guys want to remember this special evening and show off to similar minded people about where they've been. They want to show that they are part of a defined group, a fan base. I'm never going to do this, but I do at least understand it. It's a souvenir, like an "I ♥ New York" T-shirt.
Strangest of all, some of the guys buy their T-shirts then put them on straight away to go in to the concert. What is going on here? They don't just want to watch the band, they want to BE the band.
Is there scope for petchem conference organisers to offer tour T-shirts: "Brussels, Brussels, Berlin, Brussels …"

Sam Willers' family were initially told he could die of the injury, but he has since regained consciousness and is able to talk to relatives.
The 23-year-old was playing pool with a friend at the Mead End pub, in Denmead, Hants, when the incident happened, on June 21.
The friend was said to have been "messing around" with the cue, leading to it being jabbed into Mr Willer's eye.
It is understood to have gone in diagonally through his left eye, and into his brain, crossing to within a 1/3in of the right side of his skull.
He was taken to the neurological unit at Southampton General Hospital where doctors put him into an induced coma.
Mr Willers, a builder, also underwent an eye operation and has now been transferred to Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, Hants.
He remains in a serious condition. He is said to be awake, but not fully aware of what happened to him, and not talking coherently.
Angela Harwood, 58, a family friend, said: "He's awake and talking. He's got his personality. His left side is fine and his right side, they are working on. There's a long way to go – it's going to be a long process to recover. For nearly three weeks, his life was in the balance."
His family, including his mother Melody and brothers Ben, Tom and Jacob, have been keeping a bedside vigil since the incident.
His mother wrote on a social networking site: "He was up the pub for a quick pint with his mate after a very hard week at work when the mate decided to mess around with a pool cue and poke Sam in the eye with it, it went straight through his eye right into his brain."
She added: "The support my family have received has been amazing and I mean proper true honest real support."
Mrs Harwood and other members of the local community have raised more than £800 to help cover the family's travel costs and have also been making them meals and providing other support.
A police spokesman said: "At this time it would appear to be a very tragic accident but we will need to speak to the injured man once he is able."

When Atlantis STS-135 returns to Earth safely and on schedule, it will be the 133rd successful mission NASA's Space Shuttle program has executed. But as humanity looks back upon the last 30 years of space exploration, will we consider the Space Shuttle program as a whole successful? Some people are uneasy deeming NASA victorious because they are disappointed with the results after having put so much money into funding it. The average citizen can only name a few missions that were successes, and therefore are quick to conclude that NASA has not been worth the 450 million dollar investment per mission.
But NASA's Space Shuttle program has been more than just a one-hit wonder with its incredible success in the Apollo missions. Many of NASA's achievements have been overlooked because they have not been the culmination of a clear goal. As Governor Jerry Brown said in a New York Times Op-Ed after the first Shuttle mission in 1981, "The Apollo venture to the moon achieved its highly specific goal and then terminated from sheer success. It was an ends-based project: The shuttle by contrast is means-based — its ends are not known. We must create them."
The accomplishments of the Space Shuttle program cannot be measured on a simple cost to benefit scale. The indirect benefits of space exploration have improved the lives of each and every one of us. The world of cable television and long-distance calling is just as much a result of NASA's research as is the ceramics we use to cook, or the epoxies and super-glues we rely on. In medicine, heart patients benefit from the remote monitoring technologies and telemetrics that were developed during the Space Shuttle's design. Satellites have improved the science of navigation with the capability of GPS to target the position of anyone in the world and determine the weather. Satellites have also been an invaluable attribute to the military and crime fighting forces in surveillance and tracking. And perhaps the most direct influence upon all of our lives is the development of the personal computer. With the Space Race's demand for small, lightweight electronic components, microcomputers were developed that set the precedent for personal computers.
Although most of these indirect benefits of the Space Program are often overlooked, when someone questions if NASA was worth the cost, the answer should be clear. Many of the technologies that we use in our daily lives and take for granted were developed within the Space Shuttle Program. The final legacy of NASA's three decade long program is unknown, but will continue to take shape as the benefits continue to lead to even greater scientific advancements for mankind.

Did you fall for this??
Sorry to have to break the news to you but yes the "Hoverboard" that all these celebrities have been endorsing is FAKE and it's all brought to you by "Funny or Die" - yes I wanted to believe it too but sadly it's not real. It LOOKS real and it totally had me fooled but turns out it's just good ole fashion strings and movie magic!! At the moment no one is confirming that it's fake, they're sticking to the lie - but yes this does not really exist!!

I guess you're getting at something deeper here, but their role is to add additional, checked specifications to the program (with proper blame assignment, natch) so we know when something has gone wrong sooner, rather than later. This makes it easier to fix, etc. Maybe you want to read this: http://pre.plt-scheme.org/docs/html/guide/contracts.html (part of the new documentation we're working on).

Shooting Up
Singler, KCP help Pistons turn the corner from the 3-point arc
They were, at least, until the calendar flipped to 2014 and a new issue reared its head: third-quarter collapses. The Pistons have been outscored 94-48 in the three third quarters of the new year, the overriding reason why they're still looking for their first 2014 win.
One contributing factor: The Pistons are shooting 21 percent from the 3-point arc in 2014. They hope it's just a blip on the radar, and they can point to December as evidence. Because in 17 December games, the Pistons drained 35 percent of their 3-point attempts, just a shade below the NBA average of .357.
The turnaround can be largely credited to two young players: Kyle Singler and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
Singler's season turned dramatically on the night of Dec. 3 in Miami when the Pistons knocked off the two-time defending NBA champions as he scored 18 points on 4 of 7 3-point shooting. Since that game, Singler – who had hit just 8 of 34 triples, 23.5 percent, prior to that – has made 22 of 48 for 46 percent. Caldwell-Pope was at 27 percent (13 for 48) before the Miami game, but 19 of 48 for 39 percent since.
Singler ironed out his problems the way he attacks everything: work.
"Whenever I'm in a slump, I just need to get out on the court and run, shoot, just get a better feel for how I'm getting my game shots. It's not necessarily sitting down and watching tape. It might work for some guys, but for me it's more game situations, shooting, to get myself back into a rhythm."
It speaks volumes for the regard in which Mo Cheeks holds Singler than even in the depths of his shooting slump, his role remained constant. Cheeks recently told Caldwell-Pope to pattern his game after Singler on the offensive end, in particular to stay vigilant about moving without the basketball to create easy scoring chances.
"With Kenny, he's super athletic," Singler said. "He should be able to use his athleticism to get out on the court and get a couple of easy baskets. Our games are different, but for him to focus on moving without the ball will help his game. In the NBA, the tougher guys to guard are the ones who are constantly moving, separating from the defense. It will help his game if he learns to move and find open shots that way more than just standing in the corner and waiting for the ball to come to him."
While Singler worked out his shooting mechanics through repetition, Caldwell-Pope's improved numbers have as much to do with shot selection as anything else. Cheeks and Chauncey Billups have spent a lot of time in the rookie's ear, offering advice and encouragement, with Cheeks constantly beating the drum of practice, practice, practice.
"We should always get better at shooting," Cheeks said earlier this week, "because we have the tools and the facilities to get better. We have to work at it."
He attributes Singler and Caldwell-Pope's improvement to exactly that. "More repetitions shooting the ball, more consistency in their workouts. Kyle is very, very consistent. KCP is a rookie learning how to get where he needs to get to, to get comfortable shooting the ball. The last few games he's been comfortable and getting his workouts in. He's a rookie. It just doesn't happen overnight."
"It comes with time and just learning how the game is being played," Singler said. "For a younger player it's just learning how to play in this type of system. I'm sure half of those shots earlier on were just excitement shots. He's the type of kid that wants to help the team and contribute. Over time, he's going to get better and better."
One area where Caldwell-Pope shows great potential is in his use of screens. His motor and quickness allow him to slither through tight openings and make it tough for his defender to stay on his hip.
"He's getting better," Cheeks said. "That's an adjustment for a guy coming out of college, learning how to use a screen. He picks up a lot of things from guarding certain guys, the way they're coming off screens, the energy they're coming off screens. When he first came here, he didn't know how to do it, but he's getting better at it."
Caldwell-Pope has shown a particular knack for curling sharply around elbow screens for foul-line jump shots. It's not something the Pistons have used extensively because, well, Cheeks has yet to confer honored status on the rookie by calling plays for him.
"No," Cheeks grinned. "No disrespect to him. It's just, he's a rookie. He's still finding his way, just being able to find his position on the court and good shots and bad shots, the difference in them."
In Singler and Caldwell-Pope, the Pistons have two young wing players with plus size for their position and plus motors. And, the evidence since the first few weeks of the season suggests, two players who'll be part of the solution to the team's 3-point shooting issues.

(covers information from several alternate timelines)
A preemptive strike is a military strike by one faction against another, believed to be planning an attack themselves.
In 2153, the Xindi launched a preemptive strike against Earth after being told, by beings from the future, that they themselves would be destroyed by the Humans. The probe they sent wiped out seven million people, carving a swath of destruction from Florida through Cuba to Venezuela. (ENT: "The Expanse")
In 2154, Ambassador Soval informed Commander Tucker that Vulcan Intelligence claimed the Andorians had developed a weapon based on Xindi technology and that they were planning on using it against Vulcan. Administrator V'Las used this claim to persuade the Vulcan High Command to launch a preemptive strike against Andoria, despite the peace treaty that was signed two years prior. (ENT: "Awakening")
In an alternate future, William T. Riker was awarded the Starfleet Medal of Honor at stardate 51682 for his role in detecting and preventing a Romulan preemptive strike in the Gamma Hydra Sector. (TNG: "Future Imperfect" okudagram)
Following Chancellor Gowron's demand that the Federation leave the Archanis sector, Jadzia Dax spoke to a friend of Curzon's in the Diplomatic Corps, who told her that several planets near the Klingon border were urging Starfleet to make a preemptive strike. (DS9: "Broken Link")

|Buyer Tip: If you're the High Bidder above, you're the High Bidder in this auction. All Auctions are conducted in Pacific Standard Time.
Seller's Description:
Some minor discoloration in the chrome. Small spot of pitting on the end of the barrel.
Manufacture of Webley Junior Air Pistols, in any shape or form, did not commence until 1928 allowing them to be introduced on the market in 1929. All the pistols produced between then and the beginning of world War II in 1938 had either wood or tin plate grips and no adjustable rear sight. Also, the grips were much more vertical and straighter, more in the style of the Mark I pistols. Series 2 Juniors commenced in 1945, with an extra 10 degrees added to the slant of the handle and a radiused swelling at the base. Also, plastic grips were used for the first time. Post war, Webley ceased to individually serial number each pistol and the numbers which appear are manufacturing Batch Numbers. Initially, the rear sight on the post war Juniors was fixed, but in the early 1950s the adjustable rear sight was introduced. Production of the Series 2 Juniors finally ceased in 1973. The Chrome finish was available from the factory at a customers request, though to have this done on a Junior was not very common since the additional cost was a high percentage of the cost of the basic pistol. I have tested and shot this air pistol and it is extremely powerful. A wonderful piece for your Webley Collection. The top of the barrel is marked, The Webley "Junior" 177. Webley & Scott, Ltd. Birmingham 4, Made in England.

Preparing Teachers to Teach Writing Using Technology
Technology is changing not only how people write, but also how they learn to write. These profound changes require teachers to reconsider their pedagogical practices in the teaching of writing. This books shares instructional approaches from experienced teacher educators in the areas of writing, teacher education, and technology. Chapters explore teachers personal experiences with writing and writing instruction, effective pedagogical practices in methods writing courses, and professional development opportunities that effectively integrate technology into the writing classroom and contribute to students' growth as writers and users of technology. While the chapters in this collection are written to inform practice, they are written from a theoretical and empirical base by research-oriented educators in our field. Each chapter provides a research base for a particular instructional approach, a description of their strategy, and examples from instructional settings that highlight how the pedagogical practice advanced the knowledge of the teachers in the areas of writing instruction and technology. This collected volume provides as up-to-date understanding of how teachers are prepared to teach writing using technology.
