Did you know?
The Roaring Lagoon generates a 1.2 metre wave every 90 seconds.
The Valley of the Waves theme park is a jewel in the crown of the Sun City resort complex, no mean feat when you consider the enormous range of leisure activities on offer at the resort.
Part of the astounding Lost Palace development at Sun City, built around an ancient (and long-dormant) volcano, this North West province theme park is a pleasure kingdom for thrill-seekers and sun-seekers alike, offering a wonderful array of activities to keep boredom at bay.
Catering to both day visitors and those staying over at one of Sun City's many luxury resorts, the Valley of the Waves' entertainment options are many, from simply lazing around in the sun or enjoying a leisurely swim to riding the rapids on an underground river.
The more adventurous will make a beeline for the Roaring Lagoon and the Temple of Courage.
The former is just what it purports to be: a man-made lagoon in which every 90 seconds a 1,2 metre high wave with a velocity of 35 km/h crashes against the sandy beach pulling with it a delighted wall of human bodies.
The Temple of Courage, meanwhile, is not for the faint of heart. A 70 metre-long near vertical chute down which daredevils hurtle on their way to the sparkling pool below...it's quick but memorable!
There are more sedate rides for younger children and nervous adults too. The Sacred River Ride is an underground river journey on brightly coloured tubes that gently meanders its way around the Valley of the Waves theme park, or tackle the Tarantula, a scream-a-minute tube ride in total darkness!
Linking the Lost City to the Valley of the Waves, is the Bridge of Time. With its elephant guardians, and mock volcano that 'erupts' in billowing smoke and lava, it's your gateway to a wave of water-filled adventure.

Model Selection Criteria Using Likelihood Functions And Out-Of-Sample Performance
Model selection is often conducted by ranking models by their out-of-sample forecast error. Such criteria only incorporate information about the expected value, whereas models usually describe the entire probability distribution. Hence, researchers may desire a criteria evaluating the performance of the entire probability distribution. Such a method is proposed and is found to increase the likelihood of selecting the true model relative to conventional model ranking techniques.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/11/2012 (1753 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The St. Paul's Crusaders are chasing the sweet repeat as the Winnipeg High School Football League's AAA champions.
The Crusaders, winners of two of the last three ANAVETS Bowl titles, shut out the Murdoch MacKay Clansmen 49-0 at East Side Field on Friday night in their Potter Division semifinal.
St. Paul's will put its 10-0 record on the line Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Canad Inns Stadium against the Miles Macdonell Buckeyes.
The Buckeyes defeated the Dakota Lancers 23-16 in the other Potter semifinal.
"It was a good feeling. We came into this game pretty nervous but we kept our cool, played our game and didn't let the opposition team have an effect on our game," said Crusaders' receiver Salim Belrhazi, who scored three touchdowns.
"After last week, Oak Park and Massey (Winnipeg), two top teams had a loss, and that really showed how the underdogs can really have an effect and win games. There was a lot of hype over this game too, saying they could beat us."
The Oak Park Raiders lost to Miles Macdonell and the Vincent Massey Trojans were beaten by Dakota in the quarter-finals.
Also on Nov. 9, the Kelvin Clippers will meet the defending champion Grant Park Pirates in the Vidruk AA Division's Free Press Bowl at 5 p.m.
On Nov. 8, Brandon's Neelin Spartans will take on the Steinbach Sabres in the Canad Inns Bowl at 7:30 p.m. The junior varsity division's championship, the Home Run Sports Bowl will be played Thursday at 5 p.m. between the Oak Park Raiders and the Vincent Massey Trojans (Winnipeg).
In the St. Paul's-Murdoch semifinal, Belrhazi scored touchdowns on catches of 10 yards and 12 yards, from quarterback Jamie Dzikowicz in the first half, and 49 yards from backup QB Xander Tachinski in the fourth quarter.
The Crusaders, who led 35-0 at the half, also got a pair of touchdowns from running back Blair Mattes on seven-yard and 17-yard rushes and two majors from Alex Taylor on a pair of one-yard runs.
Crusaders head coach Stacy Dainard said his team lost 31 of 41 players from last year's championship team.
"We graduated a whole bunch of guys last year so it's big for these kids (to be in the final). I think a lot of people saw how many guys we graduated and didn't think we'd be that competitive, so these guys had a good focus."
Dzikowicz pointed to playing last season behind former St. Paul's quarterback Théo Deezar, now with the University of Manitoba Bisons, as helping prepare him for this final.
"It was probably the best thing that's happened to me so far as a quarterback, he really showed how to be the best I can be and how to lead a team," said Dzikowicz. "The intensity's going to be high (in the final), playing mid-November we might be dealing with some conditions. We're expecting big things."
Buckeyes 23 Lancers 16
Coach Dan Washnuk's Buckeyes are in the AAA final just one season after moving up to the Potter Division from the AA Division where they lost in last year's final.
"It's unreal that we're going to the final. We didn't know if we were going to get anywhere in this division," said Buckeyes running back Houston Rennie, who caught a key two-point convert from quarterback Jayden McKoy and scored what stood as the game-winning touchdown. "Competing with everyone like this is just awesome. To be in the final in AAA is just crazy."
The Lancers led 9-8 at the half but the Buckeyes went ahead 16-9 on Carlos Mojica's five-yard TD run and Rennie's two-point convert.
In the fourth quarter after Rennie's TD, Dakota quarterback Ben Christensen scored on a five-yard TD rush to trail by seven.
The game ended in thrilling fashion with Dakota threatening to score.
Miles Mac's defence held strong, forcing Dakota to turn the ball over on downs on the Buckeyes' 10-yard line with 15 seconds left in the game.

GREEN-fingered youngsters at a Bromsgrove school have been helping to transform the school's garden.
On March 28, St John's School invited pupils, parents and volunteers to help prepare the garden for the forthcoming year.
Cheerful volunteers, including staff from ASDA Bromsgrove, brought along their own spade or fork to take part in the project at the Watt Close-based school.
The groundwork was laid and all the hard work means it is ready for the next stage of improvements.
These include incorporating an outdoor reading area for the children, a new path through the garden, a new area for chickens to live, and planters for an outside learning space.
Tea and coffee, cakes and biscuits were served so everyone kept up their energy.
Jayne Jennings, from the school, added that an apple tree was also planted for the school's orchard, which has a genetic link to the apple tree under which Sir Isaac Newton himself sat.

Apple App Store gets new features in iOS 7

The Apple App Store is getting some new features in iOS 7; while Android users have known the joy of automatic updates for their apps since the update to Android 2.2, this is something new for iOS users which they will get to experience in iOS 7. If it is enabled, iOS 7 will automatically look in the background for updates, which it will run automatically...

Is it popular with people "near me", apps created by people "near me", or what?
4. rcrider4 (Posts: 118; Member since: 14 Nov 2011)
Popular with people near me. So basically if you went to an art museum, a lot of people there might have gotten an art app or something. That would end up on the list. It just gives a list of apps that are probably relevant to the place you are at by looking at what other people have gotten.

even for android I disable the auto update, so not a big gain for iOS. They should unlock the iOS file system so that user could import and export apps data.

New features in iOS are old features in Android.

You Are What You Grow
Michael Pollan, NY Times Magazine
A few years ago, an obesity researcher at the University of Washington named Adam Drewnowski ventured into the supermarket to solve a mystery. He wanted to figure out why it is that the most reliable predictor of obesity in America today is a person's wealth. For most of history, after all, the poor have typically suffered from a shortage of calories, not a surfeit. So how is it that today the people with the least amount of money to spend on food are the ones most likely to be overweight?
Drewnowski gave himself a hypothetical dollar to spend, using it to purchase as many calories as he possibly could. He discovered that he could buy the most calories per dollar in the middle aisles of the supermarket, among the towering canyons of processed food and soft drink.
As a rule, processed foods are more "energy dense" than fresh foods: they contain less water and fiber but more added fat and sugar, which makes them both less filling and more fattening. These particular calories also happen to be the least healthful ones in the marketplace, which is why we call the foods that contain them "junk." Drewnowski concluded that the rules of the food game in America are organized in such a way that if you are eating on a budget, the most rational economic strategy is to eat badly – and get fat.
…how can the supermarket possibly sell a pair of these synthetic cream-filled pseudocakes for less than a bunch of roots?
For the answer, you need look no farther than the farm bill. This resolutely unglamorous and head-hurtingly complicated piece of legislation, which comes around roughly every five years and is about to do so again, sets the rules for the American food system – indeed, to a considerable extent, for the world's food system. Among other things, it determines which crops will be subsidized and which will not, and in the case of the carrot and the Twinkie, the farm bill as currently written offers a lot more support to the cake than to the root. …The reason the least healthful calories in the supermarket are the cheapest is that those are the ones the farm bill encourages farmers to grow.
…The farm bill essentially treats our children as a human Disposall for all the unhealthful calories that the farm bill has encouraged American farmers to overproduce.
To speak of the farm bill's influence on the American food system does not begin to describe its full impact – on the environment, on global poverty, even on immigration. By making it possible for American farmers to sell their crops abroad for considerably less than it costs to grow them, the farm bill helps determine the price of corn in Mexico and the price of cotton in Nigeria and therefore whether farmers in those places will survive or be forced off the land, to migrate to the cities – or to the United States.
…Given all this, you would think the farm-bill debate would engage the nation's political passions every five years, but that hasn't been the case. If the quintennial antidrama of the "farm bill debate" holds true to form this year, a handful of farm-state legislators will thrash out the mind-numbing details behind closed doors, with virtually nobody else, either in Congress or in the media, paying much attention.
…But there are signs this year will be different. The public-health community has come to recognize it can't hope to address obesity and diabetes without addressing the farm bill. The environmental community recognizes that as long as we have a farm bill that promotes chemical and feedlot agriculture, clean water will remain a pipe dream. The development community has woken up to the fact that global poverty can't be fought without confronting the ways the farm bill depresses world crop prices.
…And then there are the eaters, people like you and me, increasingly concerned, if not restive, about the quality of the food on offer in America. A grass-roots social movement is gathering around food issues today, and while it is still somewhat inchoate, the manifestations are everywhere…
Michael Pollan, a contributing writer, is the Knight professor of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley. His most recent book is "The Omnivore's Dilemma."

Agriculture and climate change in the Philippines
Rony V. Diaz, Manila times (Opinion)
I WAS disappointed that Arthur Yap, the secretary of agriculture, did not touch at all on climate change when he and his staff met last week with the editors of The Manila Times in a roundtable discussion.
He dwelt at great length-and rightly so-on the crop production and infrastructure programs of the Department of Agriculture (DA). There was not even a hint of their implication of global warming.
…The cause is well-known-greenhouse gases. And one of these is methane which, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said, is more potent than carbon dioxide as a cause of global warming.
Rice fields emit methane. Large-scale rice farming will increase the volume of methane in the atmosphere. Departments of Agriculture in rice producing countries will have to address and solve this problem singly and collectively.
The responsibility of the DA is to call attention to it now and get its scientists to search for a possible answer. It should also put in place measures to limit methane emissions from rice fields-including limiting rice production.
The other issue is the production of biofuels. Distilling ethanol from sugarcane juice or extracting coco methyl ester from coconut oil are not sustainable. Food has to take precedence over transportation fuel.
The DA should craft a policy that will not divert food crops to transportation fuel and ensure that the limited hectarage for food production is not taken over by biofuel producers.
Irrigation is another matter. Before the DA commits its billions to more irrigation systems in their present design, it should study carefully water sources and the technologies for efficiently distributing water for human, industrial and farm use.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has moved to ease restrictions on access to U.S. skies for foreign charter operators. It will increase to 12 (from six) the number of flights any one operator can make per year into the country before having to apply for a Part 129 foreign carrier certificate, and address applications on an ad hoc basis pending a permanent rule change that could take another two years to implement.
The compromise, brokered by NBAA, has prompted European officials to press ahead with plans to introduce new private operating rules for fractional ownership companies. These would be similar to the U.S. Part 91 Subpart K rules and are now being drafted by a working group of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) for eventual adoption by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
According to the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), the DOT's long-awaited relaxation of its rules represents a significant olive branch for a European industry that has been deeply frustrated by what it views as intransigent U.S. protectionism. Europe has no such restrictions on U.S. charter companies flying into Europe.
NBAA president Ed Bolen told AIN that it is now pushing DOT officials to speed up the processing time for foreign operators applying for flight permits. But the FAA, which processes these permits, is still not willing to move faster than the current seven-day period, and foreign operators say this delay makes it impractical to accept ad hoc charter bookings. Flight permits for U.S. operators going into Europe are routinely turned around in just one day.
EBAA chief executive Brian Humphries said that his members will welcome the DOT compromise. He reported that an October 6 meeting of the ECAC working group, which includes industry representatives, had agreed to push forward the new private fractional rules "subject to tight operational and insurance requirements." He also indicated that EBAA had threatened to withdraw its support for new private rules for fractionals in Europe if NBAA did not get the U.S. government to make some concessions.
However, some in the European industry do not think the U.S. has gone far enough in levelling the competitive playing field. David Savile, chief executive of charter broker Air Partner International, told AIN that the additional six flights the DOT is allowing European charter operators represents no more than "a drop in the ocean."
Savile also claimed that the introduction of private rules for fractional ownership would largely help the industry's most powerful player, NetJets, achieve market dominance in Europe. He said that the greater operational flexibility allowed by the private rules would place charter firms at a serious competitive disadvantage.

nah not really. Is this where you're supposed to 'sell yourself'?
Hi I'm Alex, I think these summaries never actually grab where someone is at in their life - I'm a very open person, usually the first to say something stupid in an awkward situation. Sometimes I say things and people go 'oooookkk'.
I'm obsessed with music, get me on a dancefloor anyday, also I have a big thing for latin-american music and samba.
Anyway, I feel it's time I met someone nice who doesn't treat life too seriously. Drop by and say hi if you care to.
Towards the end of my first year at Keele University doing an astronomy Ph.D. Things are good, I guess. Sort of summing up if I want to stay in research or get a 'proper job' as my family keep telling me.

CHRIS WESTWOOD has called for patience from Wrexham's loyal support as the Reds look to solve their problematic home form.
Wrexham have suffered three defeats in their last four outings in all competitions at The Racecourse, conceding 10 goals in the process.
The latest loss was particularly hard to stomach for players and supporters with Hereford snatching an unlikely 2-1 victory on Saturday.
Having spent 17 years as a professional Westwood has seen it all and can understand the fans frustrations, but is calling on them to continue turning out in their numbers - starting on Saturday against Gateshead.
"To be honest I don't feel that there is any pressure because any fan wants you to win, especially a home fan," said the 35-year-old when asked about the pressures of playing at home.
"From a fan's point of view, what they have to understand is that when teams come and sit back and we do keep the ball and pass it around, it looks like we are going from side-to-side and we are doing it for a reason.
"It is not a case of passing it to keep the ball. We are doing it for a reason and that is when we need the fans to stick with us.
"It is a bit frustrating for them and you hear the groans because it is a natural thing to do. I have done it myself, but that is when you need the fans to stick with you.
"The players get confidence from the support and they want to get on the ball and they are willing to try things."
He added: "I am a fan of football myself and I have done the same things, you get frustrated because it is easy to do, but they have not been booing or anything like that.
"They want us to do well and we want to do well. We all need to stick together."
A victory on Saturday would lift the spirits of the supporters, but from a personal point of view three points against Ian Bogie's side would make for a much more enjoyable Monday morning for Westwood and his team mates.
Traditionally the time used for a review of the match Monday mornings have become a time for soul searching of late
"We have had quite a few meetings recently but it helps iron a few things out," admitted Westwood. "The gaffer, Billy (Barr) and Oakesy (Michael Oakes) get their point across and ask us if we've seen anything different.
"At the moment it's just not clicking, we are not in gear.
"Anyone can watch a game back and say 'you should have done that'. I watched Liverpool (on Sunday) and I was screaming at the television, but when you are on the pitch you have a split second to make a decision.
"You hope that you get the decisions right most of the time. When you get them wrong that is when people start to question the defence."
He added: "As a defender I always question whether I personally could have done anything about a goal or us as a defence could have done anything about a goal.
"We have conceded some sloppy goals, but I think you defend as a team and you go forward as a team.
"If the ball doesn't keep coming back at us...you can nitpick on the whole game."
When results aren't going to plan fractions can appear in the dressing room, but Westwood insists that's not the case at Wrexham and the players are united in their quest to turn things around.
Asked whether there had been any finger-pointing, Westwood said: "There hasn't to be fair.
"We have gone into the office and the gaffer has shown us things that we could have done better, but there have been no in-house arguments or anything like that."
Looking forward to the weekend's meeting with Gateshead, Westwood added: "We need to take the initiative and score the first goal.
"Goals are not coming with ease at the moment, but we went to Southport and scored four. At home we are struggling for a little bit of form."

One of the most frustrating things for economists around the world has been the lack of economic growth and job creation. The real estate bust in America has had a cascading effect on the economy. The real estate crash and many market sectors were interrelated, causing economic growth to not only stall, but also decline significantly, leading to massive layoffs.
While there have been some positive signs that the housing and automotive sectors are starting to rebound, job creation has only been moderate. Economic growth needs to accelerate for a substantial amount of job creation to develop.
Some of the latest data regarding manufacturing certainly are not a positive step toward economic growth or job creation.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York recently issued its general economic index, which fell to -7.8 in January, down from a revised -7.3 in December. This is the sixth month of contraction in the New York area. Not only was this number set lower than the previous month, but it also missed expectations substantially. Fifty-four economists surveyed by Bloomberg had a median estimate of zero. (Source: Woellert, W., "Manufacturing in New York Region Contracts for Sixth Month," Bloomberg, January 15, 2013.)
While manufacturing accounts for only 12% of the U.S. economy, it is still a substantial component of economic growth and job creation.
These data were followed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's January 2013 Business Outlook Survey. The survey of manufacturing conditions declined to -5.8 in January from 4.6 in December. New orders declined to -4.3 from a December reading of 4.9. Labor conditions further deteriorated to an index of -5.2 in January from -0.2 in December. (Source: Business Outlook Survey, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, January 2013, last accessed January 21, 2013.)
One positive note is that the survey for future conditions improved, as the general activity index for six months in the future increased to 29.2 from 23.7. This represents the second monthly increase in a row. Of the respondents surveyed, 43% expect increasing business activity over the next six months to improve; this far exceeds the 14% that expect a decrease in business activity.
It appears that there are no clear signs that economic growth will be strong over the short term in the manufacturing sector. Job creation will remain sluggish in manufacturing. The question is: can the improving business conditions in housing and the automotive sector make up for the lack of economic activity in other areas of the economy?
Because there are mixed signals regarding economic growth, this leads to a very difficult analysis for 2013. Clearly some sectors are improving while others are still languishing.
Part of the difficulty in analyzing future economic growth is the possibility of political turbulence. Because the survey was taken during the fiscal cliff talks, this perhaps weighed on the minds of business executives.
Both economic growth and job creation are certainly running below optimal levels. On the other hand, they're definitely not declining. This type of middle-of-the-path trajectory for economic growth is not enough for a massive upswing in job creation.
Having said that, positive moves in asset prices, such as housing stocks, and strong automotive sales could be enough to tip economic growth, moving it substantially above where we currently stand; this would then lead to higher levels of job creation in the second half of 2013. But, we will need to see several months of improving conditions before such a conclusion can be made.

The rookie Richard Jefferson thought the worst. The veteran Kerry Kittles thought, ''Here we go again.''
Byron Scott, the Nets' second-year coach, was trying not to think about the franchise's haunted pattern of injuries when he saw two key players hurt in the first half of the Nets' 95-90 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night.
The news today was not the worst, at least relative to the Nets' history of injuries, but it put a familiar damper on a heady time for a team that has improved to 9-3.
In the first half against the Clippers at the Staples Center, Jefferson, the team's top reserve forward, sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee, and Kittles, the starting shooting guard, strained his left side. Nets officials today listed Jefferson as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings and Kittles as questionable.
''With all the stuff that happened, you got to be a little worried about it,'' Scott said after the game Thursday night. ''But you got to be optimistic. Hopefully both of these guys will be back in a couple of days, hopefully Sunday. If not, they'll miss a couple of games and be ready to play Chicago when we get home.''Continue reading the main story
Knocking on wood is a reflex for the Nets, who had been able to avoid injuries in the first 12 games of the regular season. Jefferson and Kittles have combined for 18.5 points a game this season and have provided a crucial defensive spark. Against the Clippers, the Nets showed they could absorb their absence.
''We didn't sit back and say, 'We lost two key guys, so we'll just throw this in,' '' point guard Jason Kidd said. ''We were there to win this ballgame.''
With two more games to go on a five-game road trip -- Saturday here against the Kings and Sunday at Golden State -- the Nets are only one victory away from fulfilling Scott's goal of finishing above .500 on the trip.
''We've had two good games and we want to go home on a winning note,'' said forward Keith Van Horn, who is an example of what is going right for the Nets despite the injuries.
Van Horn turned in superb back-to-back performances, following his last-second jumper Wednesday night against the Jazz in Salt Lake City with 34 points Thursday against the Clippers in Los Angeles. Kenyon Martin has supplied the electricity, infusing his team with unrelenting emotion. Kidd has led three straight comebacks, and the reserve Lucious Harris seems to be hitting nothing but net the minute he steps into the game.
On Thursday Harris went on a personal 9-point run when Jefferson and Kittles were hurt in the second quarter and finished with 19 points, a season high. On Saturday he will probably start for the first time this season, in place of Kittles. ''Hey, I'm ready,'' Harris said. ''We got to keep this rolling.''
Harris has been doing that himself lately, shooting 51.6 percent (16 for 31) on the road trip, including 8 for 13 against the Clippers. ''It was the turkey,'' Harris said after the game. A Los Angeles native, Harris had Thanksgiving dinner at home with his family and friends.
But his play is not just holiday-inspired. Since recovering from minor thigh, hip and knee injuries in training camp, Harris has emerged as one of the Nets' top shooters, averaging 50.6 percent. Last season he started 50 games in place of Kendall Gill and Kittles, who missed the entire season rehabilitating from surgery on his right knee.
''I'm playing better and the team is playing a lot better,'' said Harris, a nine-year veteran. ''We have a no-die attitude. Every time we get knocked down, we seem to come back.''
Jefferson is promising that he will come back quickly. He sprained his knee ligament when his teammate Jason Collins fell on him as Jefferson was taking a charge in the second quarter of the Clippers' game. Immediately, Jefferson panicked. ''It was the scariest moment of my life,'' he said. ''It felt like nothing was there. After they examined it, they were like, 'Calm down.' There's no swelling, no pain. I'm day to day. We'll see how it goes, but I'll be fine.''
Kittles said he began to feel pain in his left side without provocation in the first quarter in Los Angeles. ''Just trying to move, it really hurt,'' Kittles said, adding that he tried to play through the pain in the second quarter.
In the four full seasons since his rookie year (the only one in which he played every game), Kittles has missed 110 games because of injuries.
Jefferson and Kittles have combined for 18 blocks and 25 steals over the first 12 games, and with Harris starting, the bench will be thin. Collins and Brandon Armstrong, both rookies, have struggled defensively and have averaged only a combined 3.5 points a game; another reserve, forward Aaron Williams, is still hampered by tendinitis in his right knee and has averaged 4.2 points and 3.7 rebounds a game.
''We rely on Richard's energy coming off the bench, and obviously Kerry is a force on both ends of the court,'' Van Horn said. ''But I think they'll be back out.''Continue reading the main story

George Constantine Ekonomaki
b.11 Aug 1926 Brooklyn, Kings, New York, United States
d.17 Apr 2005 Des Moines (township), Polk, Iowa, United States
Family tree▼
m. Dec 1918
Facts and Events
George Economaki was was born in Brooklyn, NY, (August 11, 1926) was raised in Ridgewood, NJ. He has a brother, Chris Economaki born in Brooklyn, NY (October 15, 1920) who was know for as the voice of auto racing. There father, Christopheres Economakis was born in Volos, Greece (approx yr of birth 1893). He arrived in Ellis Island July 30 1920 on the ship titled Patria out of Naples. He arrived with his wife Gladys (Burt) Economakis (born approx yr 1897) I believe she was born in Maryland, but will confirm later. His grandfather, Demetrios Economakis, also born in Volos, Greece (approx yr of birth 1873) arrived in Ellis Island August 27, 1894 on the ship Rhaetia out of Hamburg via Havre. Christopheres and Gladys had only the two boys, my father George and his brother Chris. At this point I am unclear about the wife and children of Demetrios but will add later as I gather information. I believe Demetrios' father's name was Takhe, also born in Volos, Greece. I have yet to gather information on his lineage, however, I do know he was a very decorated war hero and there is bust statue of him in the park in the middle of Volos.
George married Marjorie Wilson, also a WWII veteran. She was born and raised in Des Moines Iowa, and they had 4 children, John Economaki (Jo Kahre) who had 2 children, Ashley and Brian from Portland, OR; Patrick Economaki without children; Bob Economaki (Candi Hart) who had a son, Shawn Economaki; and me, the baby daughter Nancy Economaki, also childless.

I sure haven't ever heard it. Dictionary.com has "squillagee," to boot. It gives no clue as to any regional usage, though.skinem wrote:Squilgee?? Has anyone ever heard the variant? Is it a regional thing?
It does, however, raise the idea that it derives from a corruption of the word "squeeze."

Great pop of colorI really like this blush because it goes on silky and doesn't look powdery. It gives a natural, youthful pop of color and lasts long. — 8 years, 10 months agoToTheMoon | 130 reviews
For a natural glowI bought the mineral bronzer by Physicians Formula and the blush came free with it. And it is awesome! Used to use CoverGirl, but will never go back. It goes on effortlessly and lightly and looks so natural. I use brushes from the bareminerals line and it creates an air brushed effect. Would recommend it to anyone that loves blush that gives you a soft glow! — 9 years agopeaceluvnjuicy | 24 reviews

Love this blushThis blush is perfect for adding some subtle color to your cheeks. It has plenty of pigment so you don't need to use much, and the color blends well with my skin tone. Because there are several shades of color in the blush it doesn't look fake when you apply it. The brush storage compartment is very convenient. — 9 years, 3 months agoLadyBlakeney | 4 reviews

The Fuming Fuji is outraged at the marketing of toxic food, especially when it is aimed at the small fry. This week, the Fuming Fuji has decided to have a serious problem with iDeserv Energy Pretzels.
But, Fuming Fuji, you say, these pretzels give you energy! Why else would it say "Energy Pretzels" on the package?
The Fuming Fuji says no!
The claim: But, Fuji, iDeserv a snack now and then! These pretzels are not like the old, refined, sodium-filled pretzels I know you would fume about. These pretzels have protein and fiber added to them!
The catch: Fuji cannot comment on what we do or do not deserve. Fuji can comment on these ridiculous new "energy" pretzels which contain processed soy isolate and inulin from Cargill [1], fine makers of industrial food fillers. The Fuji grows so tired of bad food being injected with nice-sounding industrial filler goop and subsequently bandying about as a "healthy" treat. Get your energy from food, not filler! Soy and inulin are technically protein and fiber, this is true. But while we are being technical, iDeserv really deserves a spelling lesson.
The comeback: There you go with the spelling again, Fuji. Sounds like a cop-out to me. What's so bad about a hybrid pretzel attempting to be a healthier snack? After all, you are a hybrid, Fuji.
The conclusion: …
The comeback, take 2: Fuji? Hey, where'd you go? I'm really sorry about that last comment. I crossed the line.
Okay, you little fritter, now I'm getting concerned. Stop playing.
The conclusion: Do you really think the Fuji plays? The Fuji fumes! I'm keeping my eye on you, oh ye snack frenemy. This silly pretzel product is merely refined flour in a trendy coating. Be junk, or be food. Pick a lane!
The catchphrase: Eat finery, not refinery.

) Cuts 100 Jobs in Diabetes Reorg
Roche Diagnostics Corp.'s diabetes business continues to restructure, even as the company won its third product approval of the year in the United States. Roche officials said last week that price competition and lower reimbursement rates are driving a change in its research & development units, first launched this summer, which will trim about 100 positions combined from its R&D hubs in Indianapolis and Mannheim, Germany. Also, Roche is continuing to streamline its U.S. field sales staff, a move first announced in January, in an effort that will trim an unspecific number of employees. Meanwhile the Swiss company, which operates its North American headquarters out of Indianapolis, continues to clear away the regulatory roadblocks that have held back its diabetes business in recent years. Roche won approval last week from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the next generation of its hospital blood glucose meter, called Inform II.

Discussion: Throwing
I can't get anyone on my league team to practice throwing. I have been told that consistent long toss and throwing the ball at a 45 degree angle in the long toss will improve arm strength. That said, getting rid of the ball fast and accurately hitting the cut off man in a place where he can quickly get rid of it appears much more effective than trying to get the lead runner unless you truly have an accurate cannon. Usually the long throw is ineffective and usually lets the batter get to 2nd eliminating the DP. Any team having 6 guys thrown out by 1 outfielder in 1 game doesn't seem to learn much. You don't run on the accurate cannons.

Discussion: Pickle Juice
I have used pickle juice and found it effective. I recall reading that any vinegar will work, but dill pickle juice definitely worked for me. Lots of water before exertion is still the best preventive and cold water is absorbed faster. Sports drinks just slow the absorption. Force yourself to drink more than you think you need before and then drink water continuously. A tiny drop of white sugar in your water tricks the brain to put off feeling tired. Sports drinks again are counterproductive during the event. Some find magnesium supplements help preclude cramping.

Discussion: Correct Call???
I would like staff to give its opinion. To me, "If there is a play" doesn't fully resolve this. Many middle fielders automatically make the throw to first and don't stop to look how close the runner is to first in a DP situation. To me, who was umping at second base, there definitely was a play if the middle fielder threw the ball. If the throw had been made, there probably would have been a collision.
The issue is whether the phrase means an actual play or the potential for a play. For example, if the fielder starts to throw the ball and stops, then the first basemen is likely to move his foot to the bag in anticipation of the throw and there could easily be a collision w/o a throw. Staff??

|Topic: Rules of the game
Discussion: Correct Call???
Man on first 1 out. Batter hits slow grounder to SS. SS throws to second for force out. 2nd baseman decides not to throw to first since batter almost there. Home Plate ump calls batter out because he doesn't touch safety bag but touches inside bag. Manager of batting team argues that since no throw to first the call is wrong. Ump argues that rule is for safety and there easily could have been a throw with resulting collision so batter is out.
I have no idea what the correct ruling is. Please advise under both ASA and SSUSA if there is a difference.

Discussion: End Load vs. balanced.
A fun thing to do is to get different bats with different weights and balanced and end loaded and then time your batspeed. The results are not always what you expect. Hombre, generally a balanced bat swings faster because the balance point on an end loaded bat is closer to the barrel end of the bat. Generally a bat swings faster if the balance point is closer to the knob. The formula for calculating force uses the square of the batspeed so generally the end loaded bat
puts more mass on the ball (good) but at a lower batspeed (bad) and vice versa. And just to really confuse things, hitting the ball slightly below center imparts backspin which creates an aerodynamic effect which gives more distance. If you can, borrow lots of bats and determines which bat gives you the most consistency hitting the ball hard. Unless you are an effective HR hitter, consistently hitting the ball hard will make you an effective hitter irrespective of distance.

Discussion: Miken Senior Bat Review- shich is the best bat of the 3?
LDpro, thank you for not beating "good" trees. The likelihood of getting caught does not go to whether the activity was legal or not.
And by the way, the softball attached to the tree would violate the rule. In your specialized former golf life, testing the clubs wasn't a big deal. With many players and many bats, testing bats is more involved, even if a cheap test was available.it is an involved process to correctly break in a bat using the bat and softball method. I totally agree that just banning bats that actually tested too hot would be the best way to go, if it were practical.

It is the official position of the SSUSA Staff which deems such activity to be altering a bat.
This is the staff's post on 3/9/2013 in a link under bats titled
"Talk regarding illegal bats:
"The SSUSA believes that the only rules-compliant method for "breaking in" a bat is by the owner/player using that bat consistent with the manufacturer's only intended purpose: striking a softball.
"Activity which serves to change either the "as manufactured" technical specifications OR the performance aspects of the bat by any manner not resulting solely from the manufacturer's intended use of their product (i.e., the bat striking a softball) is considered altering a bat. Examples include, but are not limited to, bat shaving, bat rolling/compressing, striking items other than softballs, striking the bat with foreign objects and/or opening the bat and adding or removing material."
I do not recall any change to this policy by staff. Anything other than hitting the bat against a softball is illegal altering of the bat.

Perhaps Alan has helped create his own problems. Both Alan and MM in prior posts have made it clear what the correct way is to break in a bat. If memory is correct, it involves 75 swings starting at 50% for 25, then 75% for 25 swings, etc. Perhaps is this regimen had been followed, the Barrage would have lasted more than 17 swings, perhaps not, but what is the message?

Just read this, you must get sufficient rest if doing high intensity
Actually Tim, I would like Alan's imput since he does both triathalons and softball and 1 is fast twitch and the other is slow twitch.

Discussion: How do you get fit?
Olie, Thank you. I agree with your main points but have some nits.
1. Static stretching before activity is now generally considered counterproductive. Apparently static stretching puts the muscles in a protective mode and reduces power. Static stretching is ok after activity. Dynamic stretching is what is used before activity.
2. I don't understand your heart rate info. The general rule for maximal heart rate is 220 minus your age. For a 55 y/o this would be 165 (220-55) and 65% of 165 equals 107.25. New research h5s changed the max for older people to: 211 minus .64 times your age (211 minus .64 x 55 = 175.8.
I don't think your program is tough enough. I am curious what heart rate cyborg generated with his program which includes maximum effort
for some of the sprints.

Discussion: How do you get fit?
The website of a trainer of fastpitch players ( who sells DVDS and individual programs) points out that fast twitch muscles are what are required for softball.
He argues against distance running for long periods of time and uses a cutoff of 30 minutes before the season. Recently I read about a trainer who gets guys ready for the NFL Combine and all his work is done at full speed to develop fast twitch which was specifically mentioned in the article. I have also read about 5 minute workouts at full speed (almost) which claim great results.
At 70 30 minutes of aerobics and going full out are both questionable. Here in Cleveland we can't play softball effectively all year so training before the season is critical. My question is what mix of full out workout and slower aerobic do you do at your various ages.

Tri, a question: What senior bat would recommend for a weak hitting senior? Restated, what senior bat reaches maximum performance with little or no break in? For such hitters breaking bats is a nonissue if the bat isn't used by others. Please advise. Thank you.

Omar, You actually nailed the problem- you can't be sure when it happens and don't want to accuse if not sure. I have enough issues to worry about w/o trying to figure out who is using an illegal bat when
I am in the field. I just know that it appears some guys are hitting much further than there physique and swing would seem to warrant.
I am thinking about umping in my league which uses volunteer umps to be closer to the action w/o playing. The league does not seem to want to get involved and thankfully no one has been seriously injured by a batted ball recently. I think southernson is right on. I am surprised that tournament players aren't more angry and strident on this issue.

Now that the 2012 minor league baseball season has come to a close, Mets 101 will take a look at all levels of the New York Mets farm system, starting with Short-A Brooklyn and ending with AAA Buffalo. We'll look at the season that was for each level, complete with a season recap, the best promotions, the top prospects and each ballclub's MVP. Today we conclude the series in the Nickel City, home of the AAA Buffalo Bisons of the International League.
Final Record:
67-76 (Sixth Place, North Division)
Season in Review:
In their fourth (and final) season in Buffalo, the top Mets farm club continued a Met tradition of losing baseball for the Western NY faithful, finishing sub-.500 under the man many fans hoped would be managing in Flushing, Wally Backman. It was the third losing season out of the club's four years under Met affiliation. What looked to be a good move in terms of growing the Mets presence in a baseball market dominated by the Yankees, Red Sox and to some extent, the Indians and Blue Jays, turned out to be a disaster as constant call-ups to the diminished MLB club gave the Bisons little to work with and 2012 was no exception.
It was a successful year at the gate however, as the Herd drew an average sold crowd of 7,370 over 70 home games. This ranked seventh amongst the 14 IL teams.
Best Promotion:
The Bisons' promotional schedule was highlighted once again by their Fifth Annual Star Wars Night complete with alternate jerseys and a killer theme night logo. The festivities included costume contests, a jersey auction and a chance to meet Darth Vader himself! They like this sort of thing in Buffalo.
Top Prospects:
SP Matt Harvey – Prior to his MLB call-up in late July, Harvey was the ace of the Bisons' staff, posting a 7-5 record with a 3.68 ERA. In his first AAA season, Harvey struck out 112 batters in 20 games before earning a full-time spot in the Met rotation.
2B Jordany Valdespin – "Spinsanity" began the season in Buffalo prior to becoming the Met pinch-hit weapon of 2012. The 24-year old utility man hit .285 in 39 games with the Herd, with 5 homers and 23 RBI. Numbers good enough to earn his first MLB call-up and several subsequent ones throughout the season.
This concludes the 2012 MiLB Mets Year in Review series!

This week at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, John and Martha King of King Schools have announced release of a free iOS app that connects to King Schools Online Knowledge Test Courses, allowing customers to download the course video lessons. The means the video lessons can be viewed at any time, with our without an Internet connection, which King Schools said is "a great solution when traveling or when connected to a cellular data service with a limited data plan."
The free app is available from the Apple App Store and requires only a King Schools iLearn account containing at least one King Knowledge Test Course. Once logged in, customers can navigate through the course and tap to download a lesson or to unload a lesson to free up space on their device.
Also at AirVenture, King Schools and Helicopter Association International president Matt Zuccaro announced that they plan to release the first-ever Online Flight Instructor Refresher Course (FIRC) specially designed for helicopter instructors.
The new helicopter FIRC focuses on helicopters, but also shares many features with the current King Schools Online FIRC that has already been used by thousands of CFIs to renew their certificates since its first release in May 2012.
Shared features include iPad support and the popular King QuikRenew service, which provides an entirely online , paperwork-free renewal process with nothing to be notarized or mailed in.
The helicopter FIRC also shares the King FIRC philosophy of providing renewing flight instructors' fresh insights into ways they can help their customers to become good risk managers and long-term members of the pilot community.

We're back - well, nearly. We're on the way.
Contact.ie was a victim of its own success.
One issue we had with contact.ie was that our service (and especially our email campaigns) was extremely popular. However, if 1,000 people sent an email campaign email to 200+ recipients (165 TDs & 80+ senators), it resulted in over a quarter of a million emails being sent from our servers. 250,000 emails that are almost identical start looking like spam after a while - even though each is sent from a different, concerned individual's account.
As we got more and more popular, this became more and more evident. So we needed to solve the issue. One way of doing this would be to pay for specialist services to verify our emails as not being spam. This would need at least €500 a month (conservative estimate) and going up as we get more and more popular. Tricky when our last fundraising drive only raised about €300 of the €1,000 we aimed for.
Basically, we are going to build an app for a phone/tablet. When you click any link for parties/constituences it'll open up your default mail client and email every one from that party/constituency.
This means the emails come from individual email accounts, not from our servers, so will not be marked as spam or quarantined - unless you personally are already marked as a spammer (nothing we can do about that).
It also means we can set up notificiations, so everyone who has the app can be sent a message anytime we run a campaign, or if we think we should remind them to email about something (anything important in the news this week?).
We need more time to continue working on our proof-of-concept for the app. It's very close at the moment.
After that, it's back to the old story of funding - we are going to need about €500 this year to pay for the hosting of the app. If we receive that, we'll go live with it.
- Regards,
The Contact.ie Team
