Removal of Skin Tags with 3 Awesome Products
Acrochordons can occur suddenly and without warning. It's not uncommon to find multiple tags in areas such as the eyelids, neck, testes, and groin area, and if you've never had them before, then you might start worrying that it's the start of something serious. Skin tags are completely harmless and aren't a sign of anything more sinister.
Even better, the removal of small and medium skin tags is a straightforward process that can be done at home. If you have larger skin tags, then you might want to consult with a medical professional, but in most cases, you will be able to handle it yourself. Here are 3 highly effective products to buy.
Dr. King's Natural Medicine Skin Tag Remover
For people that want to go down the homeopathic route when removing skin tags, Dr. Kings Natural Medicine Remover is a good choice. The main problem with many other products being sold is they contain harsh chemicals and fillers that cause reactions on your skin. Not good. However, with Dr. Kings you can rest assured that all the ingredients are natural and safe, so you don't have to worry about getting nasty rashes or sores.
Because this is a natural product for the removal of skin tags, it's perfect for sensitive areas of your body such as the face, groin, and eyelids. There will be no pain, no swelling, no red marks, and most importantly, no scarring. Just a natural remedy for this unsightly problem.
You should click here to find out what Amazon customers think!
One thing to keep in mind before ordering Dr. Kings Skin Tag Remover is the strong smell associated with the product. This can be slightly alarming when you first open the bottle intending to put it on your skin, and you might even have second thoughts. However, the strong smell will start to subside once you apply it to your skin tag, and pretty soon you won't be able to smell anything.
The instructions say to use this medicine 3 times a day on your skin tag until it is ready to be removed. If you can handle the smell, then these instructions should be followed, but if the smell is too much then maybe try using it only 1 or 2 times a day, or even diluting it slightly with some water.
You should click here to buy this product!
Bael Wellness Tea Tree Oil
There are many tea tree treatment for skin tags, but this product offered by Bael Wellness is different. The reason? Because it includes a unique mixture of 2 ingredients called Terpinen and Cineole, which provide a highly antiseptic element that helps to remove those skin tags in the shortest amount of time possible. Not only that, but it will also feel very soothing on your skin making it a real joy to use.
Another feature of the Bael Wellness Tea Tree Oil worth talking about is the built-in dropper for easy access to the actual oil. This allows you to get just as much oil as you need without wasting anything, meaning it lasts longer. The bottle also comes with a medicine box, shower caddy and carry bag, so you can keep it safe and away from the elements.
It gives customers peace of mind knowing this Tea Tree Oil is unprocessed and organic and comes solely from the famous Australian Tea Tree which is extremely potent. Best of all, if you are not completely satisfied with the product then simply return it back to the Bael Wellness company, and they will be only be too happy to give you every single penny of your money back.
As with almost all products that contain Tea Tree Oil, this does have a slightly pungent smell, and you might not be too keen to put it on your skin. Don't worry, the smell goes away very quickly and pretty soon you won't even notice it.
Duofilm Liquid Salicylic Acid
If you want a cheap solution for getting rid of skin tags, then Duofilm Liquid Salicylic Acid Wart Remover from the company Duofilm is certainly worth a try. Primarily used to treat warts (as the name suggests), you can also use it for skin tags and some other skin issues.
This is a great product for people on a tight budget as the average price online is about $10, but the 1/3 FL OZ bottle will last a long time, and the normal expiration date is sound 2 to 3 years. This means you can easily treat your skin tags right now, put it away in the cupboard, and in 6 months time if you get more skin tags then it is there to be used again. You don't have to spend a fortune on removing skin tags, and many times only a few dollars will do the trick.
You should click here to find out what Amazon customers think!
So how do you apply Duofilm Liquid Salicylic to get the maximum results? The best way is to apply the liquid onto your skin tag and then leave it for approximately 10 minutes until it has dried. Once this happens, put on one of the supplied discs to cover the skin tag and keep it protected.
Some people like to do this twice a day, although once a day should be enough. Within a week you should notice that your skin tags are ready to remove, which can be safely completed with a cheap pair of nail clippers.
You should click here to buy this product.
The removal of skin tags is best done at home by yourself. It's cheaper, while less hassle than going to a doctor, and it gives you a sense of satisfaction knowing you can take care of them yourself. Be prepared to try out a few different products before you discover what works for you as everybody is different.

Computer Hardware
By: Damian Edwards
These companies have been at each others tail since the 70's. Microsoft made their computer a year before apple made theirs. they stole apples idea, but had more funding and released theirs a lot sooner.
Mac Computers
Mac computers run on Mac OS X, Macs account for less than 5 percent of computers worldwide, former Apple CEO Steve Jobs focused on the outward appearance of his company's products with an enthusiasm unmatched by his competitors. The very first Macintosh, was introduced in 1984. Mac computers are generally more expensive than Windows computers. There are not many apple computers that are less than $1000. its faster than windows computers, and has 99% chance more not to get a virus.
Windows Computers
Windows computers are generally less expensive than Macs. Viruses and other "malware" attacks are more heavily targeted at Windows. Many custom or third party Excel macros and add-ons are only available for Windows. Windows 95 was a smash hit upon release, selling 40 million copies in its first year. Windows 8 sold 100 million licenses in half the time. 24 million gamers purchased Windows devices in the form of the original Xbox, which ran a modified version of the Windows NT kernel from Windows 2000. The average Windows computer prices are around $700. its cheaper than mac but less performance speed.
i love the mac, i believe that its better, it has faster processing and has almost 0% chance of getting viruses.
the Lexmark is a good printer that does basic printer needs. it costs $299.99, and the replacement cartridges cost $89.99. the cartridge can print around 350 pages. 16 ppm and the paper tray can hold 50 sheets.
the brother laser printer uses a laser beam to fuse images onto paper, such as pictures, text, and website screenshots. prints 21 ppm, and the paper tray holds 250 pages. it costs under $150. the cartridge cost around $100, and it prints 2,600 pages. in my opinion that's a lot.
honestly i would like the brother cause its cheaper and lasts longer.

Do you know what season it is? Most people think of this as fall, but if you have sheep or goats, you also know it as breeding season! Sheep and goats are pregnant for five months, so fall is the ideal time to breed for spring kids and lambs.
Do I need to dry up my milk goat before breeding her?
No. The standard lactation for a dairy goat (or cow) is 10 months, which means they continue milking through most of their pregnancy and are dried off only two months before giving birth again. This is not even a question for those with sheep because they have much shorter lactations and have already dried up long before breeding season begins.
Do I need to "flush" my does or ewes before breeding?
Flushing is the practice of feeding highly nutritious feed prior to and during breeding season with the idea that it will improve fertility and pregnancy rates. The idea is not a bad one, but ideally, your animals are always fed a highly nutritious diet. If an animal is undernourished, it will have fertility problems. Some people believe that flushing will result in more multiple births, but overfeeding an animal won't trump its genetics, which is what ultimately dictates how many eggs are released.
Can I just let my buck or ram run with the females during this time of year?
It depends on whether you want a more precise due date. Goats and sheep tend to be quite prompt about giving birth around 147 day, plus or minus two or three, so if you know when they were bred, odds are much better that you will be able to be around when they give birth. Depending upon how much time you spend with your sheep or goats, it may be more or less challenging to know when the females are in heat and take them to the male to be bred at that time. Because milk goats are handled daily, it tends to be much easier to spot a doe in heat. Pen breeding is more common with shepherds than goatherds but is ultimately a matter of personal preference.

Apricot Granola
READY IN: 30mins
Recipe by PalatablePastime
Crunchy and healthy. Hmm..did I say the "H" word?
Top Review by Linda B
I am very pleased with my first ever attempt at granola. I did substitue craisins for rasins because I had some in the cupboard. This made a finely grained (not clumpy like some granolas), slightly sweet, bran flavored granola. The taste of bran and cinnamon predominates here-not the sweet. I ate over some yogurt...delicious!

So, we've decided that Disney is kinda expensive and we're going to try and go with the kids every other year... because, you can't do EVERY vacation at Disney, can you?! Earlier this week I contacted Stacey Burns, the BEST Disney vacation travel agent ever (you can contact her by clicking HERE) to set up our next trip! Stacey is great, I know so many people that use her and she really does help you set up the best trip and the best price possible for you!
When we went with the kids last time, they were 4 and 7! This year when we go they will be 6 and 9... I am getting a little nervous about my big boy turning to double digits in the near future. I think 6 and 9 will be perfect ages, although 4 and 7 weren't bad either... but, we won't need a stroller this time and both kids will probably do better with staying up late to see fireworks and the Fantasmic show.
Last time we stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge and had a Safari View with animals right outside our balcony! This time we decided to stay at the Beach Club Resort, which our travel agent recommended. We are staying 5 nights this time instead of 4... because, 4 days in a row of parks almost killed me! This time we'll do 2 days of parks, a rest day at the hotel and then 2 days of parks. The Safari View hotel that we will be staying at is supposed to have the best pool at Disney, with sand at the bottom of all of the pools and even a beach! There is also a pirates water slide! This hotel is in walking distance to Hollywood Studios and Epcot!
We are also getting the dining plan, which will include all our meals during our stay. We have found that this gives us more then enough food, that we get to make reservations at some of the nicer restaurants WAY in advance and it actually saves us money in the long run. We are also doing Disney transportation, because Brian and I didn't do that when we went sans kids in 2012 for the Wine and Dine Half Marathon and we SO regretted it!
So, here is our sort of mini-schedule so far and the restaurants and activities we have planned. I already picked out the color for our wrist bands and we can plan out our Fast Passes 60 days before we leave! Woohoo!
Day 1:
Day 2:
Magic Kingdom
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for Autumn
Pirates League for Nathan
Dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table
Day 3:
Rest Day
Dinner at Hoop Dee Doo at Wilderness Campgrounds (Anyone tried this? We haven't! I heard beer and sangrias are free, though!)
Day 4:
Animal Kingdom
We might do dinner at Cape May, which has a seafood buffet. This restaurant is at our hotel.
Day 5:
Hollywood Studios
Dinner at Mama Melrose (its Italian)
Fantasmic Show (its a water/fire/fireworks show, VERY cool... but, also very late... so kids will be tired!)
Day 6:
Fly Home
Wine and Dine Half Marathon Trip:
Expo, Downtown Disney & Hotel (our hotel was off-site for this trip), click HERE
Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon, click HERE
Kids First Trip to Disney:

Our Disney Vacation Day One: Epcot and Animal Kingdom Lodge, click HERE
Our Disney Vacation Day Two: Magic Kingdom, click HERE
Our Disney Vacation Day Three: Animal Kingdom, click HERE
Our Disney Vacation Day Four: Hollywood Studios, click HERE
Trendy Tot Wednesday and the Bibbidi Bobbiti Boutique and Pirates League, click HERE
Well, that is enough about Disney... are you ready for the Meal Plan of the Week?
Meal Plan Week 45
Sunday - Order In
Monday - Baked Ravioli with Garlic Bread, recipe HERE
This is always a popular and easy one with the kids.Tuesday - Freezer Chili with Cornbread, recipe HERE
I was looking through my freezer today and found a couple of freezer meals that we need to eat! So, I am going to thaw out this freezer chili and bake some homemade cornbread to go with it.
Wednesday - Frozen Pizza
Autumn has dance, so it is frozen pizza night!
Wednesday - Frozen Pizza
Autumn has dance, so it is frozen pizza night!
Friday - Tacos
Saturday - Honey BBQ Pork Chops with Rosemary Thyme Vegetables, recipe HERE and HERE
Pork chops are always easy and I made these rosemary thyme vegetables last week and have a half bag of potatoes left over (and Autumn LOVED them), so we'll have some yummy vegetables with the pork chops.

Football clubs are getting to grips with new Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, according to the 2013 BDO survey of football finance directors.
The fair play regulations come into force for all English professional divisions this season. They were introduced to counteract the effect of super-rich investors who can effectively buy success and require clubs to live within their means over a three-year rolling period.
The first punishments under the finance regulations were handed out by UEFA back in September 2012, when the Europe's ruling body withheld prize money from 23 clubs that violated the FFP regime. The clubs affected included Real Madrid, Malaga and Fenerbache.
In his 2012 review of football finances AccountingWEB's football specialist Alex Miller considered whether UEFA and HMRC would turn the screws on clubs in 2013. According to BDO's survey A New Dawn for Fair Play? , the fair play rules...

ACE and VIP failover
There is another one:-)
On CSS i could define critical service and put the VIP down if critical service is down. Also CSS used something like VRRP to define active VIP per CSS.
So the question is, can I do the same thing on two ACE modules? So, one is active for the VIP, and if service associated with that VIP fails, the active VIP is moved to another ACE module?
Can this be accomplished with contexts? FT VLAN..etc. It is not the same as VRRP VIP fail over on CSS but i could use it. Can i use FT VLAN over L2 devices/MPLS backbone or do i have to use dedicated link?
ACE ft vlan requires to be on a dedicated physical port and dedicated vlan which only carries ACE ft traffic. Both modules should use unique ip addresses from the same subnet and you cannot introduce any router between them.
ACE can be configured to âinjectâ static routes in the MSFC routing table, with configurable metric. You can use this metric feature to differentiate the host route for the same VIP or can change the cost during redistribution.
RHI (for same VIP) can be also performed to provide load-balanced service based on the proximity of the client to one of the server farms.
So yes you can use RHI to inject different cost host routes for the same VIP.
On ACE the failover is context based (not Vip based).
ACe can be configured to track and detect failures in the following items in the
Admin context and any user context:
⢠Gateways or hosts
⢠Interfaces
⢠Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) groups
You need to configure a tracking priority for each tracking event.
from ACE Admin guide
"Suppose that on ACE 1 you configure the active FT group member
with a priority of 100 and on ACE 2 you configure the standby FT group member
with a priority of 70. Further, assume that you configure the FT group to track
three critical interfaces, each with a unit priority of 15. To trigger a switchover,
all three interfaces must fail so that the priority of the active member is less than
the priority of the standby member (100 - 45 = 55)."

Taiwan not afraid of the big bad wolf
Last month a Taiwanese boy handed his piggy bank to the opposition candidate for president, only to have the government declare the donation illegal because minors are prohibited from involvement in political campaigns.
The incident sparked the Democratic Progressive Party's "Three Little Pigs" movement. The idea is that by banding together to make small donations, workers can overcome the big bad wolf of Taiwanese corporate power.

To my DBA brethren, I understand your pain. Before I took a job with a vendor in 2006, I was a DBA for close to 20 years.
Database administrators (DBAs) are the guardians of corporate data. Applications have service level agreements (SLAs), so DBAs are mindful about maximizing security and data availability, and minimizing performance impact on their servers' hosting the application. They're also persnickety about the database environment—very careful and particular about how their data is protected and how to minimize data corruption and downtime. It's a lot of responsibility.
One part of this tall order is data protection. DBAs don't trust their data to anyone, and typically rely on the built-in data protection processes in SQL Server. Similarly, data backup and recovery are essential; DBAs typically perform hourly transaction log backups. However, there's never a good time to run a full backup on SQL Server as a transactional database. Some DBAs use AlwaysOn Availability Groups in SQL Server, which allows dual redundancy of the Server Application, but the SQL licensing cost makes it very expensive.
So what happens when you lose a SQL Server host? When I worked for an alcohol company in early-2000s I was performing daily full backups and hourly transactional log backups. Full backups took seven hours and transactional backups took 15 minutes. One day, the Dell server that ran our SQL Server application died – no root cause was identified. The Dell server was attached to EMC storage and it lost a disk at the same time.
Over the next four days, I had to take all these steps to get the SQL Server systems back online:
- Order a brand new server, which took two days to arrive on site.
- Attach the server to the EMC storage.
- Troubleshoot and solve issues with the Dell server connecting the QLogic HBAs to the EMC storage.
- Install Windows, setting up all the correct ports and Active Directory security.
- Install SQL Server in cluster mode…. ARRRRRGH!
- Re-create all the SQL Server logins and all the correct security connections.
- Recover the backups from the previous night:
- Seven hours to restore the database, which was successful after second attempt.
- Apply all transaction logs to the current state.
- Test the configuration/security settings and validate the data restored to be accurate to the last valid backup.
The SQL Server hosted the company's JD Edwards ERP system and manufacturing systems. Since we could not post transactions, take orders, process payments, or start the manufacturing line – four days of downtime cost the company in the millions of dollars and untold amounts of customer goodwill.
Fast-forward to 2015 – companies can run a hyperconverged infrastructure environment with Microsoft SQL Server applications in a virtual machine. SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure has native data protection that backs up the application—that is, the application and all of the configuration settings for security, users, etc.
SimpliVity could have dramatically reduced my downtime. First, I would be locally running a two-node SimpliVity configuration and at least one node in an offsite location. I would still do nightly full backups and hourly transaction logs with SQL Server's built-in tools, but I would augment those with a nightly SimpliVity native backup and replication to the offsite location, providing a much more secure and available environment.
If a server unexpectedly died, I would have been able to:
- Create a new VM in minutes, since the environment is virtualized.
- Restore the SimpliVity backup from the previous night.
- Restore the transactions.
- Validate the data restored for accuracy from the last valid backup.
In just a few minutes my applications are up and running. In the worst-case scenario – if I need to replace the OmniCube hyperconverged infrastructure node – I'd need to order new hardware and then take just a few more minutes to attach vCenter and deploy the new node to the Federation.
Why so fast?
In the worst-case scenario, I wouldn't have saved much time on the restore of the nightly backup, but I would not have to build a new Windows and SQL Server application environment, saving time regarding the configuration/security issues, and there would be no compatibility issues between newer technology and older firmware. SimpliVity speeds up the time of recovery. This helps with the security testing.
Best-case scenario, I can immediately recover my SQL Server instance on another SimpliVity node, so I would just need to recover the data. Now downtime reduces to just a few minutes.
Overall, DBAs with SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure are able to sleep a little better at night and enjoy their weekends, knowing that any potential data recovery is only a few minutes away.

The contributors to this book use ideas drawn from psychoanalysis, open systems theory, Bion's work with groups, and group relations training to explore the difficulties experienced by managers and staff in a wide range of care settings. Each concept is introduced in as non-technical a way as possible and illustrated with examples from practice to make it recognizable and useful to the reader.
Each chapter develops a theme relating to work with a particular client group or setting (including hospitals, schools, daycare centers, residential units, community services, and others), or explores aspects of work organization (for example, the supervisory relationship, facing cuts and closure, or intergroup collaboration). By describing both the difficulties and their own feelings and thoughts while consulting to these institutions, the authors offer the reader new ways of looking at their own stressful experiences at work.

Yahoo! is crowing about how it fought an order to hand over private user information. However, it's emerged that it gave up after the government threatened fines at $250,000/day, doubling weekly.
In the end, Yahoo! had to accept two courts' decisions that the order didn't violate the Fourth Amendment.
In IT Blogwatch, bloggers hunker down.
Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment.
Rob Lever finds the fulcrum of the story:
US authorities threatened to fine Yahoo $250,000 a day if it failed to comply with a secret surveillance program requiring it to hand over user data...court documents showed.
The documents shed new light on the PRISM snooping program. [They] were ordered released by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in the case dating from 2007.
Yahoo and others have been seeking to make public these court documents to show they...made numerous attempts to fight these efforts, rather than simply acquiescing. ... Yahoo challenged the government on constitutional grounds, saying the surveillance program violated protections against unreasonable search and seizure..."because they permitted warrantless surveillance of US persons." MORE
Craig Timberg, Carol D. Leonnig and Julie Tate tag-team to bring us this:
The documents, roughly 1,500 pages worth, outline [Yahoo's] secret and ultimately unsuccessful legal battle. ... The company's loss required [it] to become one of the first to begin providing information...a key moment in the development of PRISM, helping government officials to convince other...companies that unprecedented data demands had been tested in the courts.
In the aftermath of the revelations, the companies have struggled to defend themselves against accusations that they were willing participants. [Yahoo!] was legally bound from revealing its efforts.
Rather than immediately comply with the sweeping order, Yahoo sued. Central to the case was whether the Protect America Act overstepped...the Fourth Amendment. ... The appeals court, however, ruled that the government had put in place adequate safeguards. MORE
Zach Miners digs out the last nugget of news:
The information has come to light now because the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which oversees how those laws are implemented, agreed to unseal documents in the case.
The government was looking to collect "foreign intelligence information" about "targets reasonably believed to be located outside the United States," the Office of the Director of National Intelligence [ODNI] said. MORE
Cue much barb-trading by Yahoo! and ODNI. First, Yahoo!'s Ron Bell:
We are pleased to announce the release of more than 1,500 pages of once-secret papers. ... In 2007...we refused to comply with what we viewed as unconstitutional and overbroad surveillance.
The FISC and the FISC-R are "secret" courts that oversee requests by the U.S. Government for surveillance orders...closed to the public and typically classified. ... A decision to open FISC or FISC-R records to the public is extremely rare. ... We consider this an important win for transparency. ... We treat public safety with the utmost seriousness, but we are also committed to protecting users' data. MORE
...and next, this anonymous ODNI gnome:
Yahoo! opposed the U.S. Government's motion. ... On April 25, 2008, following extensive briefing by the parties, the FISC held that the directives were lawful [because] there is a foreign intelligence exception to the warrant requirement [and] the U.S. Government has sufficient procedures in place "to ensure that the Fourth Amendment rights of targeted U.S. persons are adequately protected," [and] "any incidental acquisition of the communications of non-targeted persons located in the United States and of non-targeted U.S. persons, wherever they may be located, is also reasonable."
Yahoo! then appealed to the FISC-R [which] affirm[ed] that the directives were lawful [and] rejected Yahoo!'s Fourth Amendment challenge to the directives [because] a traditional warrant was not required [due to] "special needs" exceptions.
No rehearing or further review in the U.S. Supreme Court was sought [by Yahoo!]. The PAA [was] replaced with the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 [which] builds in additional safeguards [so] is even more protective of the Fourth Amendment rights of U.S. persons. MORE
Meanwhile, quoting Iain Thomson is getting to be quite a habit around these parts: [Get a room -Ed.]
There are still a considerable amount of documents that won't be declassified.
Yahoo!'s fight ultimately was useless because the NSA decided to secretly tap the firm's datacenter interlinks anyway. MORE
Update: MolokoPlus666 ponders the legal implications:
Honest question here. If the government had in fact fined yahoo $250k per day and it negatively impacted the stock price, could the shareholders sue the NSA for hurting Yahoo financially for not cooperating with an illegal/unconstitutional request? MORE

Housing, energy cost, and the poor: Counteracting effects in Germany's housing allowance program
Adequate housing and affordable warmth are essential human needs, the lack of which may seriously harm people's health. Germany provides an allowance to low-income households, covering the housing as well as the space heating cost, to protect people from the consequences of poor housing conditions and fuel poverty. In order to limit public expenditures, payment recipients are required to choose low-cost dwellings, with the consequence that they probably occupy flats with a poor thermal performance. Recipients might therefore exhibit a lower per-square meter rent but in turn are likely to have a higher energy consumption and energy expenditures. Using a large data set of German households, this paper demonstrates that this financially counteracting effect is of negligible magnitude.

Deficits, Explicit Debt, Implicit Debt, and Interest Rates: Some Empirical Evidence
This study revisits the long-standing issue of the relationship between government borrowing and long-term interest rates through innovations accounting in vector autoregression models. In particular, we consider the dynamic effects of primary deficits and both explicit and implicit debt on long-term interest rates. In addition to the widely used Cholesky decomposition, the emerging method of directed acyclic graphs is also used for the purpose of model identification. We find that federal deficits and explicit and implicit debt all affect the nominal long-term interest rates to varying degrees; although, the effects tend to die out after several years. The evidence assembled here is preliminary because of data availability. Nevertheless, it does suggest that it is important to consider the increasing amount of debt implicit in the government entitlement programs in the future discussion of fiscal discipline.

Pedroia on repeating: "It's the toughest thing to do in sports"
Credit: The Associated Press
Dustin Pedroia has arrived, with his beard trimmed, but his determination very much intact.
The All-Star second baseman has already tried to repeat as a champion once, and that journey ended just a few innings shy of the World Series in a Game 7 loss to the Rays in the 2008 American League Championship Series.
"It's the toughest thing to do in sports," he said.
He expects to be up for the challenge this time around, along with his team.
"We've got to work extra hard, just like we did last year," Pedroia said. "A lot of guys put in the effort and played the game the right way and had the right mindset and played together and we've got to be extra .. we've got to take care of the little things that much more to try to do that this year."
Pedroia is coming off surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his thumb that hampered him for the entire season once he injured it diving into first base on opening day in New York. He declared himself fully healed and ready to go, his main inconvenience a pin inserted in the thumb for four weeks at the start of the offseason.
"Everything went good," he said. "I kind of got a late start because of the extra month on the surgery, but the rehab was great and I feel healthy and there's no setbacks, no restrictions or anything."
If anyone's concerned that Pedroia has gotten complacent now that he's got two World Series titles, rest assured, he wants more.
"Absolutely," he said. "That's why you play. I love competing and winning as a team. That's the (best) part for me is seeing the look on the guys' faces when we win and stuff like that. That's what makes it special."
Pedroia need only look back to 2008 to remember how disappointing it can feel to come so close and still fall short. He homered in the first off of Matt Garza in Game 7, but the Red Sox didn't score again in a 3-1 loss.
"I remember that was a huge letdown," he said. "Really disappointed, shoot, I think we were four or five innings away, winning in the fourth or fifth. You don't want that feeling. Once you win, you want to stay there and be on top all the time. That just gives us something extra to push for to always stay there."

Posted 10/8/2015. Delaney is a very sweet 2-3 year old 55 lb American Staffordshire Terrier/Hound dog mix looking for a home where she can receive plenty of attention and love. Could that be your home? This sweet girl came to us with a series of injuries and after living a life where she looks to have mainly been used as a puppy breeding machine. However once patched up and shown some love, Delaney's true colors began to show through. This lovely girl weighs in at around 55 lbs but is a true "lapdog" and will not hesitate to crawl right up into your lap for the attention that she craves. Delaney loves peanut butter and chew treats. We believe that she will do well in a home with other dogs (she did fine in foster care with both the male and female resident dogs) but that introductions should be done slowly so that Delaney does not get stressed by the situation. Delaney is not a fan of felines so a cat-free home will be best for her. She should do fine in a home with older children (ages 12yrs and up) but a home with smaller kids may not work out because it may be too disruptive and loud for her liking depending on the children in question. Despite this, she seems sweet with all kids she has met in public and does well with all male and female adults as well. We believe that Delaney would also do best in a home with someone who is retired, working part-time or from home, or where work hours are at least staggered so that she is not left alone for long periods of time. She needs a home outside of the city. Delaney is spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on all of her vetting and vaccinations and is currently attending training at Camp Hill SCI as a member of the HOPE (Hounds of Prison Education) program. You can check out her weekly journal entries here: http://hopedogs.org/delaney-camphill.html.
Please consider adding Delaney to your family and giving this girl a home to finally call her own.

Interview mit SuperHeavy
SuperHeavy - Listening Party Los Angeles - Interview
Mick Jagger: Hi everybody, we're very pleased to be here, we had a bit of a late night last night doing our video in the Paramount lot and that was really fun, we were up there till, well quite late...
Joss Stone: Too late...
Mick Jagger: Well it was a long day, but we just about made it here for lunch. The songs we picked out for you we thought were sort of representative of the record, and it was a lot of fun to make wasn't it, Dave?
Dave Stewart: Yeah, it was an interesting process, that involved several countries but started actually in this room, which I think you sort of feel. I was halfway up a hill in Jamaica and I called Mick and what happens in Jamaica as Damian well knows, that as the sun goes down various sound-systems start. I live in a place just above St. Anne, the Limehall. I have a house there and you can hear one village, playing something that might be a bass sound, but at the other village you can hear something that might be cutting through like somebody's voice toasting, but quite trebly and sometimes there's three or four going on at once, and at this one particular moment, I don't think it was anything to do with any herb or anything like that, it just all started to fuse together and make sense and this incredible sort of sound and I was like, "wow, that would be interesting" . Then I chatted to Mick about it and he said "Yeah, that'd be interesting" and he said "I never thought it'd fucking happen!", but anyway, the journey between that and getting here and the experiments and the jamming, and the fun and meeting everybody and learning from everybody and working together has been brilliant.
So maybe Damian can tell us a little bit about how he got involved?
Damian Marley: Well I got involved, when my manager called me and told me that Dave wanted to get together and experiment on some music with a bunch of other musicians you know. For me it's just been a great learning experience you know, I wasn't really familiar with a lot of everyone else's music before coming into the project so I've been exposed to a lot of great music; and even just observing how everyone works and the different approaches to making music you know what I mean, it's been a great experience.
Joss Stone: It's funny 'cause I never thought that we'd sit here like making the music, then you guys would turn up, it's quite funny really. Yeah I got a call from Dave, which randomly I do every now and then, he had some kind of crazy idea and I, pretty much every time say "yeah alright, that sounds fun!", and that was as simple as that; "Hey Joss, you wanna do something fun I've got this idea, Mick and I are going to make this band, do ya wanna come? Um, yeah ok, of course I wanna come!" And now look what's happened, it's quite funny and now we've made this crazy music that doesn't sound like anything at all; It just is its own thing and I like that, it's nice to work with different styles and working with you was really cool as well, 'cause obviously you know, I've never touched upon any kind of Indian-styles stuff so it's really really great to work with all these different sounds, its lovely.
Dave Stewart: A.R was a bit taken aback when I called. I first met him about 12 years ago through a close friend of mine Shekhar Kapur the film director. I called A.R and said "Look I'm forming this group and you know, there's me and Mick and Joss and Damian" and he went "Really?"
A.R Rahman: Yeah I was personally going through a lot of loss at that time, my close friend had died, it was very depressing, coming here and working on this project was a kind of redemption for me, going to a completely new space helped me forget the stuff, so it was a great experience working with all you guys, and last night was probably the first audience thing, of course they were all extras, but they loved the music and it was made for real, apart from the playback stuff, so that was great.
Could you talk a little bit about what the writing process was like, in the songs did you all write together, how did it work?
Dave Stewart: That was a funny thing, I am a little bit ADD and have sort of like, spontaneous moments and then I get really excited about it, all organised and then Mick goes as we're nearly walking into the studio, "But we haven't got any songs" and I'm going, "It'll be alright!"
Mick Jagger: Because Dave and I and everyone I've ever worked with usually has something. You always want to leave room for some improvisation in the studio, which is great but it's much better if you have something as well to play then you can improvise and you have everything going for you. We'd been spending so much time organising this project that we forgot about the guitar riffs and some of the lyrics, and then we were sat there in the studio and I'm looking at Dave and going, "How's this going to be?" But fortunately we just evolved this way of working very quickly, getting the grooves going, people coming up with lyric ideas and melodies and everyone threw things together and Joss and I got our little pads going, "Oh that line's not going to work, oh it's too feminine, I can't deal with anymore of that, no!". And then you know, Damian would be looking in and thinking and I can see his brain turning and he's coming up with his toasting fix in the middle and so it was very exciting doing it like that, and I was very surprised that we managed it. We wrote the songs very, very quickly, so in ten days we had how many in the first, twenty?
Dave Stewart: Twenty-nine in the first ten days?
Joss Stone: Did we?!
Dave Stewart: Well you see some of them were like an hour and ten minutes long and some of them were forty two minutes long. See the first part of the process really was just completely mad jamming, and everybody left and I was with my engineer just listening back and I was like, "Fucking shit..." Thirty-seven hours of music and it's all over the place. But then there were suddenly little bits that went "boom!" and then we reconvened and we went, "Oh these bits are quite good, let's fiddle about with that." and we kept making it into a shape and over the last year really it started to fall into place. But we did end up all over the place, putting on odd bits with A.R. One time, it was really funny, I was in a studio in Miami with Damian and A.R was in Chennai. We had him singing from his place in Chennai and that was one of the easier moments.
It's been a strange and interesting process but the end result, we love it. I think its created a powerful new music, what I always say is, "I love musicians from all different parts of the world though I've never been a great fan of "world music" (in inverted commas, you know), to me it sounds like people knitting yoghurt sweaters", if you know what I mean.
Mick Jagger: But that's people think this was going to be like but it's not really like that at all, there's no knitting, you weren't knitting for a moment I seem to remember...
Joss Stone: Knitting, but not with yoghurts.
Dave Stewart: But I think we've actually managed to capture some kind of, you know, rocking, dancing, fusion of music that could fit in anywhere, from radio stations, to arenas, to my pocket. I don't know how the hell they're going to programme something like this...
Mick Jagger: Where does it go on iTunes? Which bit of iTunes genre does it go on? The "unknowable", "unclassifiable" I think it's called!
Dave Stewart: I remember years ago when there was record shops we used to go in and there'd be like, labels like saying, "rock", "country", "hip hop", there was only about seven labels and then there became about 137 different labels and now there's no record stores, hardly at all. Never mind that, but can you imagine the normal radio programmer in American radio, "Here you go!", yeah, it's going to be interesting to see what's going to develop.
Mick Jagger: Yeah, great...
Mick Jagger: What will develop, we hope something.
Is there anything anybody would like them in particular to talk about?
Journalist: How different was it from your normal, 'cause you were all very busy with you own individual projects that you're working on all the time, did this give you something special that made it particularly fun?
Mick Jagger: Well for me, it was working with four other vocalists and that was kind of interesting because I'd never actually done that before. Normally I have to do nearly everything, which I'm quite happy to do so don't worry, but it was kind of fun because when we came to finish it off I realized that we all had a part to play and you had to pick your part, have your rests and you get to do harmonies. I would get to reply to Joss, she would get to reply to me, we'd do a harmony together, A.R would then do his thing then there would be Damian doing his toasting thing in the middle or coming in doing something else so it a very interesting process vocally. It's more than just a vocal group but it is a vocal group so I never really worked with a vocal group before so for me that was a completely new experience, I mean, it wasn't like The Andrew Sisters but it was a vocal group...
Dave Stewart: Well we do have one bit like The Andrews Sisters, because we did this song called "Common Ground" and I actually, I played Joss on YouTube The Andrews Sisters and she was like going, "Wow!, I've never heard anything like it".
Damian, how was it different for you?
Damian Marley: Well I mean I think a lot of what Mick said really covers how it was different for me usually when I do my stuff, it's just me alone, from the concept of the song, the whole melody, everything that you do and put to all the song is usually individual. This is the first time I've really worked with such a vast group of people in that kind of space. I do a lot of work with my brothers, so I do have experience of collaboration in song-writing and stuff like that, but you know, this is completely different in terms of the respective genres that everyone comes from.
Dave Stewart: For me it was easy because I've already been through the hardest thing that anybody sitting here could ever go through, which is to live with somebody for five years.
Mick Jagger: Who was that, not me?
Dave Stewart: In a duo, I once had...
Mick Jagger: A male-female duo?
Dave Stewart: But you know, we lived together for five years as a couple and didn't write one song, then we broke up and wrote ten albums about it, and that is pretty tough, when every interview you do it's like, "So you used to live together, what happened?" for ten years, so I've been through all the therapy you could possibly go through with any kind of altercation that might happen in a writing process or a studio so I was just laughing all the time 'cause it seemed so easy.
Is there any possibility; is there any talk that you might perform live?
Joss Stone: I hope so!
Mick Jagger: It was fun doing the miming last night, can't we just do miming?
Joss Stone: Let's do it, no!
Dave Stewart: Well In think if we get a lot of dancers, we could get away with it.
Mick Jagger: It actually was a lot of fun, you know if there's people who want to hear it then I'm sure, I would love to do it, but if everyone goes, "Oh, well I'm not sure about this" I'm not sure I want to foist it on everybody, but it was great fun doing it and I love being up there, doing my part.
Dave Stewart: We'll probably end up playing on the "unclassified gig" section...
Mick Jagger: In that tent at Glastonbury for unclassifiable people, anyway good, thanks so much guys!

On a scale of 1-10?
Not me by the way, picture of a friend of mine
The filters are just from instagram
Most Helpful Guy
DANG! Your freind is more like a 12! She's beautiful.11|00|0
On a scale of 1-10?
Not me by the way, picture of a friend of mine
DANG! Your freind is more like a 12! She's beautiful.
Have an opinion?
A solid 7 from my side. She has definitely found the right angles, make up and lighting to put her best foot forward
Pretty gal. No ratings unless 18+, and ideally 21+, is confirmed though. I'm not ready to be a creepy old man yet, haha.
Lol she's 20
OK, phew! I can live with that. Yeah I'd throw her an 8 or 9 for sure, and my scale is TOUGH. 10s don't happen, it'd break the scale. If there's a 10, why not a 10.1, you know? :-P
I'd say 8 cause I see highlights and touch ups in the pic & too much mascara
The girl's got sharp features alright
She is nice looking, but somewhat strategic. Many things can be hide or added in digital photography by technique, but she is worth as a friend. Rate her +8.
Your friend is really pretty.
Though the shot looks posed and if this was a candid it would be easier to rate her.
Just based off this Id say 7 or 8. But she also looks really young.
She's really good looking I think she could be a ten but I'd have to see her body and statue to know. It's hard to know based off one pic.
Picture is legit 10. But, I suspect sneaky angles and brightness.
I'd give her an 8 from what you can see. Maybe a 2 point shift either way if you could see all of her.
I definitely wouldn't kick her out of bed.
7 after removing light effects etc. The joys of digital photography!
8. Wow she's really pretty.
Solid 8. Extra points for wearing that chain :)
A lot of people have been saying 8! Why not a 10! Lol i think she's a 10 but maybe thats just cause im jealous of how gorgeous she is :)
Nice hair? Nice photoshop..
I would rate 6..
She's a Hottie
yeah she's beautiful, seems pretty young, how old is she anyways?
I would give her a 10 probably, but it also looks like she has really done herself up with make up, at least with the eyes and lips
She's 20
Between 8 and 8.5.
8. she's like some girl I only talk to if smiling at me.
I say an 8.
9. she's definitely my type and looks like a girl i dated before.
Wow! She's really cute. I'd give her a 8.8.
From that picture alone a 9, but some photos can be deceiving
edited so 6.5 for me
I think a 6
Your friend is a 8 for the face. Pretty good looking. A whole body face shot would be nice though.
I know lots of guys would rate her 8-9 though. While there's no denying that she's pretty, she just isn't the girl I'd feel myself with. Seems like a pretty shell with idle content. Sorry if that's insult your friend.
(now if some girls could answer this question? /dating/q992041-is-she-just-using-me-for-attention )
I'd give her an 8. I think she's missing this... spark or exotic touch to her. She's not ugly at all, that's for sure. Personality could push it to a 10.
She is truly gorgeous. No Flaws there at all. People who say that there are, are very Long sighted indeed
She's easily a nine or ten or less if she has addictions :-P
Yes i agree! :) She's the most beautiful friend i have.
10 but the picture looks heavily filtered so she could actually be a 6 in person.
Perfect 10.
I'm laughing how all these average joes (5s and 6s) are all rating her below 8 and pointing stupid faults that doesn't even exist.
She's flawless.
Damn she's a 10 and I am a girl lol
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.

Ajmer/Hyderabad, Oct. 13: Union home minister Shivraj Patil talked of a foreign hand behind Thursdays Ajmer blast even as wires found in the pocket of one of the dead strengthened suspicions of Hyderabads link to the evening attack.
Andhra Pradesh native Syed Saleems body was flown back this morning and buried amid doubts whether he was a victim or a suspect after police found the electric wires on him.
A top Rajasthan police officer, who accompanied the body, said Saleems background and the source of the wires were being probed while the desert states government withdrew the Rs 5-lakh compensation it had announced for the dead mans kin.
Patil, who visited the Ajmer Sharif dargah this morning, said it was too premature to say much except that the investigations go beyond our borders.
The minister, who offered a chadar at the shrine to the 12th-century Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, also visited the injured in hospital.
We are with you in this time of sorrow, he said and promised all help to the victims.
Patil met dargah welfare committee chief Haji Sayeed Gulam Kibriya Chishti, who called for a CBI probe into the security lapse that led to the explosion, which killed two as thousands were breaking their Ramazan fast.
The committee today said tomorrows Id celebrations at the dargah would be low key with only the traditional namaz.
The joy associated with the occasion is missing, said Zakir Bhai Husain Lobanwala, who owns a nearby shop.
No business this Id, rued Munna Lalji, another shop-owner. But Khwaja sahebs blessings will work and everything will again look up.
Additional director-general (crime) A.K. Jain said police were working on some links but were not ready to divulge details.
We have several leads and are pursuing our probe, confirmed Ajmer inspector-general Nand Kishore. But the details are not to be given out at the moment.
A Rajasthan police team has left for Hyderabad to probe reported similarities between explosive devices used for the attack on the dargah and those placed in the Andhra capitals blast-hit Mecca Masjid five months ago.
There are some similarities and all these things are being investigated, Hyderabad police commissioner Balwinder Singh told reporters.
City police said the SIM card found in the mobile used in the Ajmer blast has been traced to the same man and the same place Bengal where the SIM used to trigger the Hyderabad blasts was bought.
The SIM card was allegedly bought by one Babulal Yadav with a fake driving licence, a police officer said.
Police sources said apart from the wires, they had also found traces of explosive materials from Saleems pocket.
The sources said Saleems family had disowned him after he deserted his wife and children nine years ago and shifted base to Ajmer. The eldest among seven brothers, Saleem later set up a cosmetics shop in the vicinity of the dargah.
