Blanco, Giants back Petit's record-setting day
Outfielder hits his first HR in SF since '12; pitcher retires 46th straight
SAN FRANCISCO -- Once the Giants remembered that they were supposed to beat the Rockies, they turned this four-game series into a keepsake worth preserving.
On Tuesday, Madison Bumgarner approached a perfect game. On Wednesday, Tim Hudson notched his 2,000th strikeout and Bruce Bochy collected his 1,600th managerial victory. Yusmeiro Petit joined the milestone-makers Thursday by retiring his 46th consecutive batter to establish a Major League mark during the Giants' 4-1 triumph over Colorado at AT&T Park.
The Giants' biggest achievement, however, was a collective one. By capturing the final three games against Colorado, which owns the National League's worst record, San Francisco won a home series it should have won -- a rare occasion this summer. The Giants have posted a 13-24 record at AT&T Park since June 9, but they're 7-3 in their last 10 home dates.
San Francisco secured its second home series in a row, coupled with a two-out-of-three effort Aug. 15-17 against Philadelphia. If the Giants' improvement is genuine, it's occurring at an opportune time. They're competing with St. Louis, Atlanta and Pittsburgh for one of the league's two Wild Card spots. And they haven't given up on overtaking Los Angeles, which leads them in the NL West by 4 1/2 games.
"That's always a good sign, that they're starting to get that confidence back here at home and find ways to win," Bochy said. "This is our park [with] great fans. You can't beat what we have here. Hopefully it'll continue, and it's going to have to continue for us to get where we want."
Bochy's club is showing signs of regaining the prowess it displayed during its staggering 42-21 start. The Giants have homered in nine consecutive games, exceeded only by an 11-game streak from April 22-May 4. Thursday's power was generated by an unlikely source: left fielder Gregor Blanco, who golfed a 2-1 delivery from Rockies starter Jordan Lyles over the right-field wall for a two-run homer in the second inning.
It was Blanco's first homer at AT&T Park since June 13, 2012 -- the night that Matt Cain threw his perfect game against Houston.
"My timing is better," said Blanco, who's batting .306 (33-for-108) in his last 41 games. "I'm trying to keep the bat in front of the ball."
Other aspects of the Giants' offense could be falling into place. Leadoff batter Angel Pagan finished with his first three-hit game since his Aug. 7 return from the back injury that sidelined him for 44 games. Following Pagan's second hit, a sixth-inning single, he stole second base and scored an insurance run on Hunter Pence's sacrifice fly.
"It's so nice to have him back," Bochy said of Pagan.
Pence drove in that run from the fifth spot in the batting order, which he occupied for the first time since April 18. Joe Panik replaced Pence as the No. 2 hitter. Though a day off for Michael Morse prompted the shuffling, Bochy will consider implementing this sequence more frequently.
"I'm going to noodle this tonight," Bochy said. "But I kind of like [how] it balances out the lineup. Pence is a guy who doesn't care where he hits."
Finally, the Giants' pitching sparkled against Colorado. Starters recorded a 0.90 ERA while allowing 15 hits in 30 innings against the league's highest-scoring team. Then again, the Rockies played without three injured offensive dynamos: Troy Tulowitzki, Michael Cuddyer and Carlos Gonzalez.
San Francisco's pitchers will receive another test this weekend when the NL Central-leading Brewers visit for a three-game series. Milwaukee ranks second in the league in runs.

I have thorough knowledge of HTML and CSS. I'm learning Javascript, jQuery, and PHP. My friend knows that I know a little of web design, so he wants me to make a website for him. How much should I charge? It'll be a simple website using only HTML, CSS, and maybe some jQuery.
thank you for your time
What would be a viable hourly rate for you?
This should be your formula, Skills * no. of hours = ProfitIf you're just starting out, make sure you check out other web galleries and learn from them. You don't want to create a very basic design and be done with it.
Also, learn how to create WP themes and charge more
Don't charge anything, Barter. Have him do what ever he does for a living for you for free in exchange.
Your clients only really see the price. As a rule of thumb charge what they are prepared to pay.
Charging 2K+ would likely get a bad response, particularly in today's climate.
I would setup a WordPress theme and charge a couple of hundred. Get them on the monthly support plan so they can pay you a little money to maintain their theme and cover their domain and hosting. This would be anything from 10 - 20EUR per month.
Do not work for free, and do not custom code if a client is not prepared to pay. Friends and family are often the worse clients, you've been warned! We've all been there.
Hi cornwallis,
Website charges totally depend upon its requirements. You can charge on hourly basis and monthly basis. You can charge for how much time you have spend on website creation.
depends on where you live as well. Simple static website template can be created in a couple of hours. If you have the content and as you said you know the techniques, it should not take more than a few days for you. In that case, you should do it for free for a friend as long as you are not spending mammoth of hours. However, tell him the baseline that he can expect for the free part. Make it clear if it goes beyond 'x' hours you would charge.If the site you are creating is dynamic, you should quote an hourly rate that you think is reasonable for your time.
it depends on the webpage that he wants to have, and the effort you have to put in. If it would be enough to grab a WP template, put some information in there and launch the website, i would not charge much, maybe ~200. The thing is that if you have not so much of a clientele you could charge less for some recommendations. If he will be happy with your work, you could get some more clients from his recommendations (and you could charge them a bit more).
Hi Crown wills!it depends upon your experties. Abviously if you'll design well. you'll be getting well payed. but here are suggestion that it also does matter that how many hours or time you're spending for making the site or also on the basis of payed hourly but it would be nice if you've have him do what ever he does for a living for you for free in exchange.
Hi,Its completely depend on the time you spend on making the website.
It totally depends on the requirement and time you spend for making the website. You can also charge for domain registration, web hosting etc...


text: Tadelakt is a lime plaster brilliant and impermeable which can be used as well in interior as in outside. It is the traditional coating of the palaces, hammams and bathrooms of the riads in Morocco. It has the characteristic "to be shoed" with a roller of river and to be treated with a soft soap to acquire its final aspect. Tadelakt has an aspect soft and fine with undulations due to the work of the roller; it is tight, what makes it possible to also use it to make bath-tubs and wash-hand basins and confers great decorative capacities. Tadelakt is generally carried out with lime of the area of Marrakesh, but other type of lime can also be appropriate.

I said previously that any eurozone bail-out should ideally happen after 2013. Events have overtaken me. It would be best, now, if vulnerable euro member states could hang on for a couple more years. And all because of domestic German politics.
Angela Merkel's coalition partners, the Free Democrats, resisted the idea of paying in so much capital to the eurozone rescue fund so quickly. As a result, the eurozone rescue fund will be capitalised later, and more slowly.

I was delighted to see that Taunton's successful Energize scheme has become one of the first projects awarded funding as a result of the police being able to seize cash from criminals.
Energize is a major factor in reducing anti-social behaviour among young people in the Deane.
Youngsters have been offered diversionary activities such as nightclub evenings, wall climbing, DJ workshops, and paintballing.
The Energize grant came from the Community Cashback scheme which the Government launched only in May.
It means that money made from crime can be taken away from criminals and put to good use in local communities.
The Government is making £4 million of it available this year for community initiatives like Energize.
It sounds an awful lot of money, but in fact is only a tiny part of the £250 million police expect to seize from villains this year.
I welcome any well thought out initiatives to ensure crime does not pay.
However, I still maintain the best deterrent of all is making sure we have enough police officers out there on the streets catching criminals.
If the odds of being caught are high and the punishments are harsh, then people will think twice before committing the crime.
At present, not enough crimes are solved and the police work on the basis of solving roughly only about a third of all crimes, which is quite shocking.
We have read in the pages of the Gazette in recent weeks how Avon and Somerset had the highest increase in knife crime of any police force in the country.
At the same time, we are paying more council tax to the police than we are to the Deane council.
Yet, too many of the police officers we pay for are being sent to patrol Bristol rather than communities like Taunton, Wellington, Wiveliscombe, and elsewhere.
I want those extra police put on the beat here in Taunton Deane to make us all safer.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/6/2013 (1525 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Machine of Death: The Game of Creative Assassination is a card game inspired by a collection of science-fiction short stories (entitled Machine of Death) written by Ryan North, Matthew Bennardo and David Malki. The stories explore the idea of a prescient computer that can predict the nature of a person's death through a simple blood test. However, the prediction is always given in a way that is cryptic and perplexing to interpret.
Machine of Death was funded through a very successful Kickstarter campaign. The designers (including writer David Malki) aimed for $23,000 but raised an impressive $556,596.
You and your friends (two to four players) play co-operatively as a team of assassins. You will be given a mission that includes four "targets" -- people you will try to assassinate. Each target has a name ("Alias"), a location ("Co-ordinates") and two revealing facts that will help you plan the assassination ("Intel #1 and Intel #2").
For example, your target could be Jane Smith, a woman who can be found at the local bowling alley, who is deathly allergic to wheat and also fascinated by mariachi music.
Each target will also have a "Death Card" -- the prediction given by the Machine of Death as to how the victim is predestined to die. Your team must kill the target in a way that matches or evokes the Death Card.
For example, if Jane Smith's Death Card is "Mushroom," she might be killed by eating a poisonous mushroom that you have placed in her gluten-free bowling alley nachos. Or by ingesting a hallucinogenic mushroom and stumbling into the alley where she is hit in the head by a bowling ball. Or by the power of an explosion at the conveniently located neighbouring nuclear plant (mushroom cloud).
Your team will also be given three "Black Market Gift Cards" -- items that will help you enact the assassination. For example, "A Real-Life Robot" or "Spoiled Food" or "Something Red."
Together, your team will discuss the victim and the cards. You will then formulate a plan and decide the likelihood of each tactic succeeding, on a scale from two to six. Then you have 90 seconds to attempt the kill, rolling a die to discover if each tactic has succeeded or failed.
If one element of your plan fails (for example, your Real-Life Robot fails to push Jane Smith into the alley), then you draw a new Gift Card and try to retool your plan before running out of time.
If a kill fails, your team loses and the game ends. If you succeed in killing all four of your targets, your team wins.
Machine of Death has been touted as the next Cards Against Humanity -- a hipster card game with cult status. But while Cards Against Humanity features outrageous politically incorrect humour that never fails to startle and entertain, Machine of Death features macabre humour that amuses but rarely shocks or surprises.
The nature of MoD's gameplay requires players to contribute their own inventiveness to make the game interesting. If your close friends are all writers, standup comics or theatre students, then the game has the potential to be amazingly entertaining. But if you're looking for a fun game that will entertain you with its wit and challenge, MoD may leave you feeling unsatisfied.
Finally, there is no way to improve your gameplay or get a sense of accomplishment as you master the rules. In co-operative games like Pandemic, there is a feeling of satisfaction as your team learns to more efficiently contain and eradicate outbreaks. In social games like Cards Against Humanity, there is the satisfaction of learning which cards will amuse your friends while barely avoiding deep offence -- it's a game of discovery.
In Machine of Death, you are challenged to be creative -- but with no benchmark of clear success and with no sense of improved skill.
Machine of Death could be a great icebreaker at social events, as it provides a chance to show off inventive and creative thinking. But will it continue to amuse and engage after more than one playing? That remains to be seen.

Alumni Profile
Profile: Aldo Prosperi, SIS/BA/MA '09/'10
How has SIS made a difference in my world?
Entering SIS as a freshman, the school broadened my areas of study beyond my limited interests at that point. I feel like if I had been at another school that did not provide such a clear and balanced curriculum I might never have moved outside my comfort zone. While I still had the freedom to pursue my own particular interests (usually whatever class was being taught by Ambassador Quainton that semester), SIS also pushed me to take equally valuable courses in cross-cultural communications, international economics, China-Japan relations and more.
What was one important turning point during my time at SIS that influenced my professional path?
While I had planned on pursuing a foreign policy-related career back in high school, I can absolutely pinpoint one SIS class where everything fit together and I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I had chosen the right path. Professor Murray's Foreign Policy Decision Making class showed me that foreign policy really isn't the result of a few demi-gods sitting in a smoke-filled room making choices for the rest of the world. Rather, I was able to explore the multitude of theories that support foreign policy decision making in which I now have the opportunity to play a - very minor - role. Also, that course let me write my favorite term paper ever - Cloudy With a Chance of Wienerschnitzel: The Decision Behind the Berlin Airlift.
What has been a -- possibly unexpected-- pivotal experience or piece of knowledge that has led me to my current position?
I absolutely would not be in my current position if I had not earned a Presidential Management Fellowship while at AU. SIS played a vital role in helping me receive this fellowship through broadcasting the PMF as a career alternative and providing preparation for both the entrance examination and the PMF job search process.
Why I chose SIS?
Pretty simple, actually. I honestly do not believe that any other school can offer the perfect blend of underlying theory and applicable "how-to" lessons like SIS. Just as importantly, I would categorically say that my professors at SIS were committed to teaching first, any other project came second.
How I make a difference in the world?
I currently work for the Chief Financial Office of the Department of Homeland Security. My portfolio inside the Office of Program Analysis and Evaluation includes the department's cybersecurity, intelligence, infrastructure protection, and biometric security missions. Our goal is to provide a strategic view of resource requirements across DHS and present data-driven analysis during the creation of a five-year budget. By presenting comprehensive resource alternatives to leadership, I think that our team makes a difference by helping to drive deliberative and efficient decisions in a constantly maturing department.
Field of study?
U.S. Foreign Policy
SIS activities?
SIS Undergraduate Research Symposium
German and Italian
World issue of interest?
Transnational crime, counter-terrorism strategies, cybersecurity, international religious freedom, European integration, Italian politics.
Professional role model?
Since the age of three - not a typo - my role model has been Thomas Jefferson. Even now from a professional perspective I still find so much to model and repeat from Jefferson's life - especially his ability to connect themes and facts from various disciplines and sources. I think that today's professional world sadly forces us to become experts in a narrow field of study instead of encouraging a general approach to global issues. While I can't say that I will invent a swivel chair and experiment with French oenology while writing timeless political philosophy like Jefferson, I always hope to keep a broad view of the world around me.
Favorite book?
Non-Fiction - Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August provides a vivid inspection into her introductory statement that war is "the unfolding of miscalculations." The entire book focuses only on the first month of World War I, but highlights so many tragic ingredients to war that remain constant in international relations - secret alliances, sabre-rattling arms races, military overconfidence.
Fiction - My favorite novel is The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. Combine Aristotle's literary criticism, St. Augustine's theology, medieval Benedictine monks and wrap it up in a murder mystery and I'm hooked.
Favorite movie?
I can't imagine that any film will ever surpass La Vita é Bella as my favorite movie. Roberto Benigni's use of comedic effects like racially superior Italian bellybuttons and signs that say "No spiders or Visigoths allowed" provide a simultaneously thoughtful and cheeky counter to the evils of the Axis regimes. Plus it's always an inspiration to think that a poor waiter's greatest weapon against the horrors of a concentration camp was his unconditional love for his son and his principessa.
Current residence?
Columbia Heights

Canadiens' P.K. Subban (centre) celebrates one of his three goals Sunday night with David Desharnais (left) and Ryan White, who scored the first NHL goal of his career, had two assists and had a fight for the unofficial Gordie Howe hat trick.
Eric Miller, Reuters
Preview | Matchups | Sunday's NHL schedule | Boone's Game Blog, Quick Hits/About last night … | Stubbs on Twitter | Hickey's game story
Chances are the Canadiens' ugly loss to the Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Friday night has been forgotten.
The Habs scored, and scored, and scored again Sunday night against the Minnesota Wild, pummelling their hosts 8-1 at the Xcel Energy Center.
What a night for defenceman P.K. Subban: his first career hat trick and an assist. For Ryan White: his first NHL goal, two assists and a fight for his first Gordie Howe hat trick. Goalie Alex Auld played superbly, beaten only by Wild captain Mikko Koivu 12:14 into the third, on a penalty shot.
Other scorers for the Canadiens were Andrei Kostitsyn, James Wisniewski, Travis Moen and Tom Pyatt. Benoit Pouliot had three assists in his first trip back to Minnesota since leaving the Wild to join the Habs. Auld had an assist. And all the Canadiens fans who made the trip from all over left a very happy group.
The massive win pulled the Habs to within one point of the idle Boston Bruins in the Northeast Division, though the Bruins – who entertain the Canadiens on Thursday in Boston – have two games in hand.
Montreal is home to Buffalo on Tuesday, in Boston then back home to Washington on Saturday.

Did you know?
The Zululand attraction, Shakaland, was originally built as part of the Shaka Zulu movie set.
The Zululand region of KwaZulu-Natal extends from the Dolphin Coast at the Thukela River mouth to Richards Bay in the north and inland to Paulpietersburg.
Its major attractions include its rich Zulu culture, a wealth of birdlife and several game and nature reserves.
While Zulu culture may be enjoyed at destinations across South Africa, none is as poignant as the heart of the Zulu Kingdom, where visitors experience Zulu hospitality, dance, song and food.
A visit to Shakaland or Dumazulu will allow you to become part of an authentic Zulu wedding; assist with the daily chores around the village or visit a local sangoma (traditional African healer). Take an ox-wagon to visit Zulu beehive huts or a township tour – to see shebeens (pubs), taverns and traditional medicine shops – to learn how the locals have adapted their age-old traditions to suit modern living.
Discover the heritage of Zululand when you stop off at Melmoth to visit the Valley of the Kings. This is the birthplace of legendary King Shaka – and the site of several Zulu kings' graves in the Emakhosini Valley..
Zululand also boasts a wealth of natural biodiversity. The Zululand Birding Route guides twitchers seeking out its 650 recorded bird species, by self-drive or on guided tours. The Dlinza Nature Reserve is a particularly popular birding spot.
There are many other nature and game reserves in this region, ranging from coastal and sub-tropical forested reserves along the coast to game reserves in authentic bush settings further north.
Undoubtedly one of the region's biggest attractions is the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, the oldest on the continent and home to Africa's famous Big Five – lion, rhino, elephant, leopard and buffalo. It offers visitors game drives, self-drive game routes, guided walks and wilderness trails that provide an intimate bush experience.
Round off your Zululand expedition with a visit to Richards Bay. This large harbour town boasts beautiful beaches and stunning wetland scenery.
Further inland lie tea plantations, cattle ranches and the historical town of Vryheid on The Battlefields Route – site of significant historical clashes between Zulu, boer (farmer) and Brit. About 50km north is Paulpietersburg, 'the healthiest town in South Africa' and part of the Rainbow Route – a tourism initiative linking inland South Africa with the Zululand coast. The town is renowned for its spring water and spas with therapeutic sulphur springs.

Server virtualization, converged networking, and scalable intelligent storage are rapidly becoming de facto standards for data center infrastructures everywhere. Sizing a new infrastructure is no longer a question of exactly how many of what brand of server you might need to buy, but one of how much raw compute power and storage capacity and performance you require -- regardless of how it might be assembled. Although huge differences exist between various vendors' implementations of these features, this phenomenon is ultimately leading to a commoditization of data center infrastructure tech.
At the leading edge of that commoditization are four of the largest infrastructure tech players; Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and a partnership among Cisco Systems, EMC, and EMC's VMware subsidiary, called VCE. Through partnerships and acquisitions, these vendors have each worked to produce soup-to-nuts virtual infrastructure bundles that include all the hardware and software comprising a data center -- including virtualization hosts, networking hardware, storage, and in some cases, private cloud management software to tie it all together.
For organizations looking for a very fast and easy way to deploy greenfield data center infrastructure without having to deal with the hassle of a detailed design and a stack of compatibility matrices, these all-in-one bundles can be an enormous time-saver. However, this bundling is not always good for customers.

I'm on the fence about these guys. I just really don't see them lasting well, even though they've got the brotherly bond. It will also be very interesting how Zev does-I know a few people with Asperger's, and I know that disabilities on the race have not been as big an issue (Peter/Sarah made it midway, Luke/Margie made F3) but spectrum disorders are a very different kettle of fish.Zev Glassenberg (26); Justin Kanew (30)
Hometown: Sherman Oaks, Calif. / Los Angeles
Occupation: Unemployed/VP of Production and Development for National Lampoon
Relationship: Friends
Zev and Justin's friendship started six years ago when they were working as camp counselors and the two have been very close ever since. Zev has Asperger's Syndrome, but they don't let it affect their relationship. They share friends and interests, and the friendship is as mutually beneficial as any could be.
Zev is an avid sports fan especially basketball and he has an intense competitive spirit. He describes himself as funny, modest, and loyal, and is running the Race to prove to himself that he can do anything.
Justin prides himself on his patience and his ability to problem solve. He admits the biggest difference between he and his partner is that Zev is not great in large groups of people one of the characteristics of Asperger's while Justin is very easy-going and can assimilate himself into any group.
Outside of the occasional trip to Vegas (where Justin took Zev to lose his virginity), neither has traveled extensively, particularly with one another. Their relationship is spontaneous and unedited and resembles one of brothers more than friends.

(BPT) – For most kids, the final school bell signals a break from learning and a focus on summer fun, but for parents it often means an uphill battle to beat the "summer slide" in their child's learning. Significant knowledge and skills gained during the previous school year can be lost if children don't participate in enrichment and learning activities during summer break.
In fact, children run the risk of losing newly learned Common Core curriculum skills they developed during the year.
The good news for parents who are concerned about the summer slide is that several Common Core teachings can be easily adapted from the classroom to fun summer projects conducted at home and in the community.
"The summer slide can mean a child may spend the first two months of the new school year playing catchup instead of learning new material," says Dr. Ashley Norris, assistant dean of the College of Education at University of Phoenix. "Parents need to plan a balanced mix of activities for their children during the summer that not only include sports and extracurricular activities, but learning activities that emphasize math and reading skills."
Norris, who prepares prospective and current teachers to address dynamics in schools and the classroom, recommends parents incorporate Common Core themes into the summer curriculum they plan for their children. Here are six fun, educational activities that can help kids avoid the summer slide and also provide parents with opportunities to connect with their children.
1. Turn everyday activities into learning opportunities
According to a recent University of Phoenix College of Education survey, 38 percent of teachers believe Common Core curriculum ties learning to real-world scenarios. Errands are an easy way to engage children in reading and math skills. Consider having your child help make the grocery list, go shopping with you and practice adding up the bill and calculating the tax.
2. Seek inspiration from community events and activities
Visit the farmers market to learn about vegetables and teach the importance of healthy eating. Attend concerts and then ask your child to research his favorite musical instruments. Head to the local nature center to learn about native plants and then return home and ask the kids to draw what they saw.
3. Embrace technology and create interactive projects and activities
Apps and websites such as Pinterest are making Common Core projects available for parents to set up at home. Pinterest has new math and reading challenges that are posted daily. You can also search for Common Core apps developed by schools across the country combining video games with math and science skills.
4. Focus on core competencies
Look for activities that emphasize core skills such as math and reading. Creating a cooking project is one of the best ways to integrate these skills as children are required to follow directions of a recipe and learn about cooking elements such as time, temperature and measuring ingredients.
5. Balance academic and social engagement
Look for activities or summer camps that not only promote social skill development, but allow for knowledge in specific content areas. Science and technology camps provide hands-on learning projects such as bridge building, mouse-trap cars or the construction of robots. Many science museums offer home projects on their websites.
6. Plan a trip to the library
Common Core requires students to conduct in-depth research from multiple sources and then discuss their findings with peers. Families can do similar activities throughout the summer. Each family member can search for information on a chosen topic then set a time to gather and discuss the findings, which research tools were used and if more information is available. Make it a game by voting for the family member who found the most interesting or unique fact.
If you keep them engaged during the summer break, your children can pick up right where they left off when the school bell rings in the fall.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/11/2012 (1740 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WOOF WOOF: Winnipeg Humane Society CEO Bill McDonald is best known for loving animals, but he's also a great sport. To become the Wizard of Paws at the recent Bow Wow Ball fundraiser Saturday at the Fairmont, he stuck his head through a big piece of white plastic so they could film it, and then creative types took it to a special- effects guy for the green, fuzzy effect around it. Disguised as the wizard, McDonald's head appeared on the screen, front and centre, to ask people to take their seats, which they happily ignored three or four different times. (Who is that bossy guy?). He had better luck with the welcome speech.
Director of development Christine Boult says the Bow Wow Ball sold out at 500 generous souls. The decor included a yellow-brick-road dance floor and clips of the Judy Garland movie. SPOTTED: Free Press publisher Bob Cox and his wife, occupational therapist Lena Cox; Magellan Vacations owner Dianna Davidson, MTS president Kelvin Shepherd, Johnson Waste Management owner Eric Johnson, Paul's Hauling's Paul Albrechtsen and his wife, Mary Lou Albrechtsen, Silver Jeans CEO Michael Silver, Parrish & Heimbecker president Bill Parrish, Domo Gas director Doug Everett, provincial cabinet minister and Riel MLA Christine Melnick, Pinnacle owner Wade Miller, Alpha Masonry owner Gus Koutoulas and Bardal Funeral Homes owner Kevin Sweryd.
Colleen Furlan, a finalist in the CBC reality series Over the Rainbow, sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow as people sat down to eat dinners with giant centrepieces of apples, like the ones thrown by the apple trees that came alive in the Wizard of Oz.

FRIENDLY WINNIPEG: Clara Scott, an actress in Winnipeg Studio Theatre's new offering, Ordinary Days, which runs Nov. 21-25, says she's feelin' the love from Winnipeggers.
"I read an article in the Huffington Post about paying it forward and that Winnipeggers are possibly the nicest people in North America," says the 24-year-old Torontonian.
And here's Scott's Winnipeg rescue story: "I arrived here in the unplowed snow after the storm and I had these little high-heeled suede boots. I went to do the motherlode of shopping on Taylor Avenue, but I was using my phone for directions and I got going the wrong direction and ended up eight blocks out of my way at the Pilates studio at Academy and Ash. I stood there in all this unplowed snow and dropped the bags and bags of groceries and started to shiver.
"Two ladies who had come out of pilates nearby said, 'Oh my God, what's up with you?' and picked up my grocery bag and said, 'Follow us,' and without thinking, I just followed! They took me to their house and offered me hot chocolate and then drove me home nine blocks away. It was a lady called Ellie and her friend."

BEST BET TONIGHT: Singer Lisa Windsor just returned from winning Disney's American Idol contest for the third time, which offered her a fast track to the real American Idol contest once again. But she can't collect because she's... Canadian. Still, Windsor's profile is growing. The Casinos of Winnipeg invited her to play tonight and Saturday night at Club Regent's Jaguars nightclub with an all-star band.

VLT ADDICTION TREATMENT: It's not often a shrink invites the city to tea at his house. Winnipeg psychiatrist Clyde Manswell has just brought out a new book, It Takes 2 to Tango, Maybe 3: A Serendipitous Discovery in the Treatment of VLT Gambling Addiction. Manswell, who has practised for 30 years in Winnipeg, is so excited about his new discovery he's inviting colleagues, scientists, students, neighbours and VLT addicts over for the launch on Saturday at his house at 18 Corbeil Pl. There will be two sittings -- at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
Manswell's book is about the successful treatment for gambling buddies who travel in pairs or small groups to play the machines, and have to quit together or can't do it.
It Takes 2 to Tango -- Maybe 3, by Your Nickel's Worth Publishing, is available at Prairie Sky Books, at Manswell's home launch and at Indigo online.

Clinique Eye Shader Brush
Clinique Eye Shader Brush Reviews
CliniqueOver the years I have tried many many clinique products and tools. However, I found this brush to be completely average. The hairs tended to stick and clump up together, which results in streaky and uneven applications. They do not do a good job of depositing the color of your eyeshadow. Definitely not the quality I would expect for how much they cost. — 4 years, 5 months agoLittleBunny | 545 reviews

CLINIQUE EYE SHADER BRUSHI admit I bought this because I saw Pixiwoo do such cool looks with it, and at the same time it was on sale at Sephora, so I did not pay full price for it. Otherwise I would have said that it's too big to be of any use, maybe for catwalk shows not real life. This is big indeed (thumb size wide, no less) and fluffy. I like to use it to apply base skintone eye shadow on the lid and also for a very s...read moreoft sheer deposit of darker shades, for a more dramatic look (like the crease color going all the way up to the eye brows, like in some fashion looks like this fall's Chanel). If you think that because it's big you will do your daily looks faster with it you will be disappointed. Because it's big and more of a blending brush all colors it deposit come out sheer-er so you need to spend more time to figure out what to do. It's decently soft, especially after you spot clean it with Clinique's Brush cleanser liquid. But I would rate it more suited for those who have time and mood to stay and play with their eye makeup because it's not an average blending brush (like 217 - not like that at all) it's more a backstage brush (I saw Dior has one even bigger and it's also an eye shadow brush) for certain effects. I love this brush, and I use it every day. It was my first high-end brush purchase a few years ago... and I still love it, after many more. I has never shed and has stood up to many washings. Plus, it is super soft. I will probably add more to my collection. This brush is fabulous and was very easy to use. The bristles are soft, yet have a firmness and it feels nice in my hand. It was wide enough to easily spread shadow over a good area of my lid, but also fit the width of the shadow duo color. I also didn't have to pick any stray bristles off my face, either. The quality and results are definitely worth the money. — 5 years, 4 months agomihshelle | 182 reviews

Much of this gift of a day was dedicated to interviews with the media. Some were with national newspapers. Some were with influential thought leaders. And some were with talk radio stars. Which brings me to the deeply valuable leadership skill of keeping it real.
One radio host fascinated me. Before we went live, she was warm, funny and clearly speaking with the voice that was truly hers. "Three…two..one…" she counted. And then the transformation appeared. She assumed a personality. She talked like she thought radio people are expected to talk. She sounded artificial. She'd lost her soul.
What makes a great team (and a winning culture) is a bunch of ordinary people who come together, strip away their social masks and devote the best hours of their best days to the building of a bold and breathtaking dream. The choice we all have is to be plastic. Or authentic. May I suggest you don't let Radio Star Syndrome happen to you.
Keep Leading Without A Title.

Lisa Ann
|Easton, Pennsylvania
|May 9 (Taurus)
|5 ft. 2 in.
|eye color:
|hair color:
In 1990, while paying for college by working as an exotic dancer, brown-haired beauty Lisa Ann was clearly
meant to be more in life than a dental assistant. She was studying to become one and eventually was
certified as a dental assistant, but thankfully, that did not last long.
In 1994, Lisa entered the adult film industry and made a name for herself in many different films, including Angel Eyes, Little Red Riding Hood, and Skin Hunger. Her time in the adult industry was short-lived though, as she decided to spend a few years touring as a dancer at clubs. This venture was also short-lived because Lisa wanted to spend more time working on her marriage and her day spa business. Although neither her marriage or the day spa business worked out, Lisa Ann returned to the adult industry to work as an agent.
However, in 2004, her fans prayers had been answered because Lisa Ann decided to reenter the adult film industry as an actress and began making movies again. She didn't stop working as an agent though, and she opened her own talent agency, which has since merged with Seymore Butts' Lighthouse Agency. Lisa manages the new agency, as well as continues to film the hot scenes that she is well known for.

HOUSTON - A driver who noticed his wife's stolen car on the road helped lead to the arrest of the suspect after a chase with officers that involved a teenage girl and one round fired by police.
Texas City police said a man called them after he spotted his wife's stolen car. He followed it until police caught up to it, investigators said.
The driver of the stolen vehicle refused to stop for officers and drove at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour, police said..
Detectives said an officer fired one round from a shotgun at the car's tires, but that failed to slow down and stop the suspect.
After the shot was fired, police learned a 15-year old girl was inside the car. She called her father who called to inform police that she was in the car.
The driver, Kermic Gamble, eventually stopped and tried to run. He was caught and arrested.
The teenage girl was detained by police and interviewed.

The freezing winter winds are now upon us, which means fashion's spring/summer ad campaigns are about to launch, and the excited sneak peek emails have been coming thick and fast. The most recent comes from the house of Dior, who have signed Mila Kunis, the 28 year old actress from Black Swan, as their new "face." Here's my first reaction (and I liked her as an actress): groan.

WOOTTON Bassett Town tonight appointed Paul Braithwaite as their new first-team manager.
Braithwaite joins the Corinium Stadium-based side from Hellenic League Division One West side Fairford Town, with Chris Green joining him as assistant manager.
The duo take over following the departure of Jeff Roberts, who left last month after disagreements over playing budgets.
Braithwaite had been in charge of Fairford since August 2011, while Green has been his assistant since 2012.
After assisting with Highworth Town's U18s, Braithwaite's first taste of management came with Cricklade Town Reserves in 2009-10, guiding them to a fourth-placed finish in Hellenic League Division Two West.
He then moved on to Fairford in October 2010, joining to assist Tommy Dryden.
Braithwaite took over as manager in August 2011 and guided the Reds to the quarter finals of the GFA Challenge Trophy, although they finished second from bottom in the Premier Division.
He almost guided Fairford straight back up as they finished fourth in Division One West in 2012-13, while he also took Fairford to the Floodlit Cup semi-final. Another fourth place finish followed last season, along with progression to the last eight of the Floodlit Cup.
Bassett chairman Andy Walduck said: "We offer a warm welcome to Paul and Chris."
"The application list was strong, specifically from the internal applicants, making the final decision a hard one."
"The senior committee met most evenings and adjoining weekends, to allow the discussions process to conclude as quickly as possible. I'd like to thank the fellow members of the committee, especially Danny Groom, for their time during this very busy period."
"We're ecstatic to be able to appoint Paul and Chris. The coming season no doubt will be a challenge with another year at Cirencester ahead of our move to the new facility."
"But with Paul and Chris's professional approach, which came across strongly during their interview, and the high regard they are held in locally, we feel they are well equipped to meet this and build a strong squad."
Simon Paish and Simon Packer are leaving Bassett after five years running the reserve team.
"The committee would like to personally thank Simon and Simon for their commitment to the club over the last five years, and, in the case of Simon Paish, several more within our youth section," added Walduck.
"Their effort both on the pitch and off it – demonstrated by their efforts in renovation works building the covered standing during our final years at Rylands Way – will not be forgotten.
"We were fortunate to hang onto them for one last season, which turned out to be the most successful for our reserve team for a long time."
"They will both always be welcome at the club and I'm sure we'll see them both on the local football circuit in the future."
Dave Terry and Wayne Petrie, who have been in charge of the Development team since its inception two seasons ago, will step up to take charge of the Reserves.
Bassett will look to fill the vacancy for Development team manager and coach and interested parties should contact Walduck on 07980 730905.

HOUSTON - Rumors of school violence have Houston-area families on edge Friday.
Maria Martin sends her daughter Gabriela Mata to Cinco Ranch High School hoping she'll stay safe, especially given what they've heard recently.
Last week, a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut left 26 students and staff members dead. This week, students are hearing rumors about possible violence at Houston-area schools.
Katy Independent School District officials said rumors were spreading that someone planned to harm people at campuses on Friday, coinciding with the Mayan calendar prediction that the world would end that day.
"We're all going to die one day for sure," said Martin, "I hope not tomorrow."
In a letter, the district said it has tried talking to students with first-hand knowledge of the origins of these rumors. But officials said they haven't found evidence of danger coming Friday. So Mata planned to be in class.
"I'm still going to go," said Mata. "I have mid-terms."
Others are still worried. Several parents emailed Local 2 about similar rumors at Salyards Middle School, La Porte High School, Willis High School, Klein Collins High School, Ball High School, Humble High School and Schindewolf Intermediate. Fears were also spreading about Magnolia High School on Facebook. District officials across these areas said so far, the threats all appear to be rumors.
Houston police chief Charles McClelland said his officers are trained and ready if needed.
"It's understandable that people are on edge," McClelland said. "School is a place where students should be educated and safe. But no, we haven't seen an uptick in calls."

Lindsay Lohan sued ETrade.
Lohan claims that the ETrade Super Bowl commercial depicting market-savvy babies in some sort of relationship triangle has damaged her reputation. Apparently it's still possible. And how – to the tune of $100 million dollars – the amount for which she's suing the web trading gurus. In the commercial, a young lady baby accosted her male counterpart as to whether or nay "That milk-aholic Linsay' was over. Then baby #3 pops into view and declares, "MilkaWHAT?!'
I think Lindsay should sue herself. Definitely a beautiful, stupid person at this point.

Charlie Christ said Marco Rubio paid $130 to wax his back.
The chance to be the Republican candidate in the upcoming senate election in Florida certainly has gotten hairy… or hair-less in this case? Travel back in time not too long ago and Christ was being bandied about as a potential '12 Presidential hopeful. How fickle time can be eh?

Dan Rather apologized for Obama 'Watermelon' comment.
Poor Dan Rather inadvertently stumbled into the minefield of political correctness on Sunday as a guest on Chris Matthew's moving picture program. Perhaps the most substantively shocking thing was that Rather doesn't think President Obama is doing a good job. However, what made the news was his declaration that Obama is "A nice person…. very articulate" who "…Couldn't sell watermelons if you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic." Wednesday saw Dan apologizing for the racial undertones of the watermelon transaction business in the HuffPost.
I actually feel sorry for Dan. Granted, he has been in the tank for the left for a long time so I don't have a tremendous amount of affection for him, but when you inadvertently and without malice say something racially charge, you just get blasted.

Twin Cities' Columnist Jim Souhan delivered a tardy thow away line.
In his blog on the Minneapolis Star Tribune website, Souhan buried this line within the depths of his story – "I really don't expect the Twins to wind up trading (Joe) Mauer….". Souhan had set the blogosphere roaring just days earlier by being the first big name journalist to suggest that the Twins should start considering the possibility of trading Mauer. Souhan could have been a bit more clear in expressing that sentiment in his original piece, but perhaps that wouldn't have generated as much buzz?! Buzz, buzz.

Rev. Jim Wallis said Glenn Beck doesn't particularly get Jesus.
Comments made by Beck at the beginning of the month on social justice really picked up steam this weak. Beck's original statement, that Christians should investigate to see whether or nay their churches supported a philosophy of 'social and economic justice' and then 'run as fast as you can' if they did, were hit hard by Wallis. The progressive liberal Reverend hit Beck's comments as a guest on Keith Olberman's extraordinarily Christian-friendly 'Countdown':
Left or right. We have different views on the role of government. Doesn't matter, But justice is integral to the gospel. And across the spectrum, Christians are saying Glenn Beck got it wrong.
There's no question that the church does have a duty to take care of the poor, the sick, and the elderly. But Beck's point, while over the top as is his tradition, was oddly spot on. The practitioners of the philosophy of social and economic justice don't end up under the Democratic banner 9 times out of 10 by accident. There's a tremendous amount of Western, white, wealthy guilt; and belief in the government's ability to fix the sins of the past and present, that's come to be part of the package. The straw man came to visit the blogosphere with gusto, saying 'Glenn Beck hates the poor!'. Foo.

Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts said the President and his Democrat pals are on a "bitter, destructive and endless" drive to pass health care.
That's just awesome. The quote that is… not the concept. Brown giving the Republican's weekly radio address, went on to say:
"An entire year has gone to waste…. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, and many more jobs are in danger. Even now, the president still hasn't gotten the message… Somehow, the greater the public opposition to the health care bill, the more determined they seem to force it on us anyway."

David Beckham announces he won't play for England in this summer's World Cup.

Are there any interactions with medications?
Birth control pills (Contraceptive drugs)
Interaction Rating: Moderate Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
There is some evidence that birth control pills might interfere with the triglyceride-lowering effects of fish oil.
Some of these drugs include ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel (Triphasil), ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone (Ortho-Novum 1/35, Ortho-Novum 7/7/7), and others.
Medications for high blood pressure (Antihypertensive drugs)
Interaction Rating: Moderate Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Using fish oil with drugs that lower blood pressure can increase the effects of these drugs and may lower blood pressure too much.
Some medications for high blood pressure include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL), furosemide (Lasix), and many others.
Orlistat (Xenical, Alli)
Interaction Rating: Moderate Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Orlistat (Xenical, Alli) might keep the beneficial fatty acids in fish oil from being absorbed by the body. Taking fish oil and orlistat (Xenical, Alli) at least 2 hours apart may keep this from happening.
Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs)
Interaction Rating: Minor Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Using fish oil with medications that slow clotting may cause bleeding.
Some of these drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), dipyridamole (Persantine), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Interaction Rating: Minor Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Warfarin (Coumadin) is used to slow blood clotting. The body breaks down warfarin (Coumadin) to get rid of it. Fish oil might increase the breakdown and decrease the effectiveness of warfarin (Coumadin). Decreasing the effectiveness of warfarin (Coumadin) might increase the risk of clotting. Be sure to have your blood checked regularly. The dose of your warfarin (Coumadin) might need to be changed.
Dosing considerations for Fish Oil.The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
- For high triglycerides: 1-4 grams/day of fish oil.
- For high blood pressure: Either 4 grams of fish oil or fish oil providing 2.04 grams of EPA and 1.4 grams of DHA per day.
- For atrial fibrillation (one of the chambers of the heart doesn't empty properly and this increases the risk of blood clot formation leading to stroke): Eating tuna or baked or broiled fish providing omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil) one or more times per week seems to reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation in patients aged 65 or older compared to consuming fish once per month or less. But there is no benefit from eating fried fish or a fish sandwich.
- For kidney problems related to using cyclosporine to prevent organ transplant rejection: 12 grams/day containing 2.2 grams EPA and 1.4 grams DHA.
- For reducing the overall risk of death and risk of sudden death in patients with coronary heart disease: Fish oil providing 0.3-6 grams of EPA with 0.6 to 3.7 grams of DHA.
- For asthma in children: Fish oil providing 17-26.8 mg/kg EPA and 7.3-11.5 mg/kg DHA for reducing symptoms. Maternal ingestion of fish oil 4 grams daily, providing 32% EPA and 23% DHA with tocopherol, during late-phase pregnancy has been used for preventing the development of asthma in children.
- For preventing childhood allergies: Maternal ingestion of fish oil 4 grams daily, providing 32% EPA and 23% DHA with tocopherol, during late-phase pregnancy.
- For preventing childhood atopic dermatitis: Maternal ingestion of fish oil 4 grams daily, providing 32% EPA and 23% DHA with tocopherol, during late-phase pregnancy.
- For treating asthma: 17-26.8 mg/kg EPA and 7.3-11.5 mg/kg DHA.
- For preventing and reversing the progression of hardening of the arteries: 6 grams/day of fish oil for the first three months, followed by 3 grams/day thereafter.
- For rheumatoid arthritis: Fish oil providing 3.8 grams/day of EPA and 2 grams/day DHA.
- For attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): A specific supplement containing fish oil 400 mg and evening primrose oil 100 mg (Eye Q, Novasel) six capsules daily.
- For preventing miscarriage in women with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and a history of past miscarriage: 5.1 grams fish oil with a 1.5 EPA:DHA ratio.
- For painful menstrual periods: A daily dose of EPA 1080 mg and DHA 720 mg.
- For Raynaud's syndrome: A daily dose of 3.96 grams EPA and 2.64 grams DHA.
- For weight loss: A daily serving of 2-7 ounces of fish containing approximately 3.65 grams omega-3 fatty acids (0.66 gram from EPA and 0.60 gram from DHA).
- For slowing weight loss in patients with cancer: 7.5 grams/day of fish oil providing EPA 4.7 grams and DHA 2.8 grams.
- For improving movement disorders in children with poor coordination (dyspraxia): Fish oil providing DHA 480 mg combined with 35 mg arachidonic acid and 96 mg gamma-alpha linoleic acid from evening primrose oil, 24 mg thyme oil, and 80 mg vitamin E (Efalex).
- For developmental coordination disorder in children: Fish oil providing EPA 558 mg and DHA 174 in 3 divided doses.
- For depression along with conventional antidepressants: Fish oil 9.6 grams/day.
- To prevent full psychosis from developing in people with mild symptoms: Fish oil 1.2 grams/day.
- For keeping veins open after coronary bypass surgery: 4 grams/day of fish oil containing EPA 2.04 grams and DHA 1.3 grams.
- For preventing the collapse of arteries opened by "balloon" therapy (PTCA): 6 grams/day of fish oil starting one month before PTCA and continuing one month after PTCA, followed by 3 grams of fish oil daily thereafter for six months.
- For reducing and preventing the long-term continuous rise in blood pressure and to preserve kidney function after heart transplantation: 4 grams/day of fish oil (46.5% EPA and 37.8% DHA).
- For preventing clotting after placement of a tube for dialysis: 6 grams/day of fish oil.
- For preserving kidney function in patients with severe IgA nephropathy: 4-8 grams/day of fish oil has been used.
- For combined high triglycerides and high cholesterol: Fish oil providing EPA 1800-2160 mg and DHA 1200-1440 mg combined with garlic powder 900-1200 mg/day has been used to lower total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, and the ratios of total cholesterol to HDL, and LDL to HDL.
- For salicylate intolerance: Fish oil 10 grams daily.

John Cena, born April 23, 1977 can't stay the face of the WWE forever and the time is coming for the torch to be passed. The question is of course, who will become the face of the WWE after Cena? Who are even the list of candidates? For the sake of realism and even brevity I will only be including guys currently on the WWE roster or higher profile on the FCW roster who are at least 5 years younger
For the lazy/Digest Version:
1. Restore prestige to the mid level titles by defending them against and having them ocassionally held by upper card opponents.
2. Resurrect the nearly dead tag team division by recruiting and developing wrestlers that are already part of a team.
3. Create stables that are well, stable! The best stables ever have lasted for years with various incarnations.

Nine-year veteran of program to lead 17 sports and 400-plus student-athletes.
Coral Gables (February 08, 2013) —
The University of Miami announced today that Blake James has been hired as the new Director of Athletics. James has served as the interim Director of Athletics since October 2012.
"Blake James has proven that he has the experience, skills, leadership, and especially the love for the University that we need in Athletics," said University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala.
Comprising 17 different sports, the UM Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is dedicated to developing and supporting the University's 400-plus student-athletes in their efforts to achieve personal, academic, and athletic excellence. UM student-athletes have won 21 team National Championships, 71 individual National Championships, and earned 400-plus All-America honors.
"Having spent more than nine years at the University of Miami, I understand what an honor and tremendous responsibility it is to serve as Director of Athletics," said James. "My passion for this institution, the students, the staff, and our fans, is matched only by my commitment to excellence in everything that we do. I want to thank President Shalala and the Board of Trustees for their support, and I look forward to many great days ahead at The U."
James returned to UM for the third time in 2010, after spending seven years at the University of Maine, the last five as the Director of Athletics.
During his tenure at Maine, athletics experienced tremendous success, including three trips to the Frozen Four for the men's ice hockey program and NCAA playoff berths for football, baseball (two), women's basketball, and softball. Additionally, James implemented a comprehensive $17 million facility improvement plan, which included an indoor practice facility and numerous other facility upgrades and renovations. Academically, the program flourished, earning the conference academic cup twice and maintaining better than a 3.0 GPA. Prior to his stint at Maine, he worked in athletics development at Providence College, where he established the "Friars Forever" campaign and the Friar Athletic Fund, as well as having spent two tenures at UM in ticket sales and development.
James holds a bachelor's degree in marketing from Minnesota State University- Mankato and a master's degree in sports management from St. Thomas University. He and his wife, Kelly, have two children, Haley and Ryan.
