Fort Allen
I am an investment banker/finacial advisor starting a holding company called Fort Allen LLC that will seek to acquire companies to be owned by the holding company, almost like a (very) mini Berkshire Hathaway or Leucadia National Corp. The holding company will acquire controlling interests in established small companies in a variety of industries. It may also provide investment banking and financial advisory services.
Target audience will be owners of small to mid-sized businesses that Fort Allen will seek to buy, and companies that Fort Allen will provide financial and investment banking advisory services to and sources of financing that would help Fort Allen make acquisitions. This will not be a retail or consumer focused brand. The branding itself will not be critical to the business, however must be successful in providing the culture and values of the firm and must convey a professional, confident image.
I am open to ideas but prefer a fairly simple, understated logo. Not at all cutesy or cartoonish or trendy. Must be very professional looking. Given the name, and location in Denver, Colorado, I envision an image of a (western-type cavalry) fort with possibly a mountain in the background. However, again, this is not set in stone.
Culture, values, themes that should be captured:
Honor, integrity, loyalty, reliability, trustworthy, confident, nservatism, etc.
Possibly a western theme (not overtly) but captures elements of the Code of the West.

Decoration. Sunday , November 05th , 2017 - 02:38:17 AM
Quote from Tuscan Decor Elements for House Decoration :
If you like to have warm, earth tone colors and rustic, with the look of Mediterranean style, you will love to have Tuscan Decor. This decor has the same look with Southwestern design that you could see in some parts of America. Even though the original design of the Tuscan decoration is inspired from Italy however this decoration got influences from the country nearby such as French and Spanish. Besides this country design, Tuscan decoration also gets influences from ancient Etruscan culture as well as from Mediterranean countryside.
Tuscan Decor also used the elements of nature colors from its design, such as the colors of sky, sea, fruits and many more. That is why the color for this decoration will be natural and warm that resembles the climate of Mediterranean climate. The colors of brownish-orange from the terra-cotta clay and creamy shades of worn plaster walls are the colors that often used in this decoration. Other colors that resemble the warm look of Tuscan are also used in this decor such as green olive and golden yellow.
If you consider in having Tuscan Decor but you did not have architectural design that resembles this decoration, you could create it by adding Tuscan design elements. You could start to renovate your house from your wall. Painting the wall with Tuscan palette painting colors is a good idea. Choosing the colors that resembles stucco and old plaster wall will look very authentic in creating Tuscan decoration. Wall elements of decoration in Tuscan decoration also include glazing, color washing, lime washing and hand troweled textures.
For the interior design, choosing the materials suitable for Tuscan Decor will be such a good choice. Natural stone such as marbles, granite, Travertine and limestone is preferable to build the interior design. Tuscan style interiors can be made in your ceiling. Rather than leaving your ceiling plain, you could add decoration in the ceiling. Having medallion images on the ceiling above the lighting is great to make the room decoration much more bold and visible.
Tuscan Decor can be used in any rooms in your house from kitchen until bedroom. That is why you could decorate your house to have the look of Mediterranean style. Your house will have warm and inviting atmosphere that will make you feel comfortable to stay in the room. Use earth tone colors and natural elements to make the Tuscan decoration much more emphasizing.

With the numerous fad diets in the market these days in Salem, Yacon syrup seems to be another one that can help to reduce fat once and for all. This syrup is classified as a sweetener as well as a weight-reducing prebiotic. It's a great source of fiber too that many have come to see as helping them to reduce fat they have been trying for a long time to lose.
This Missouri product actually has a taste that is often compared to molasses, honey or maple syrup. It can be used to reduce fat by drizzling on oatmeal or even a spoonful placed in tea to help sweeten your beverages. Some Missouri people add it to baked goods instead of sugar or other sweeteners which can be a better weight-reducing alternative. When it comes to buying this product in Salem, there are a few things you want to keep in mind before you purchase it in Salem from just anywhere.

It was an interesting trip. We were robbed before we made it all the way into town!
Guys on horseback and with shotguns stop the train.
I have ridden on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad a couple of times before and this was certainly the most fun I've ever had. A tip if you go, sit on the station side of the car to see the action outside.
At check-in the key to our room was missing and they had to get a spare. We were told the key was probably in the room. It wasn't. I had no trouble opening the door. When we went to go out for dinner John tried it and couldn't get it to work. I tried it and it worked just fine! I told him it was just pay back for all those times that I've told him something was broken and it worked just fine for him.
Of course I could no longer get it work when we returned... We had to go get a new key and were told it was no problem they had several sets.
The door to the adjoining room had just a bedroom type lock, with the lock on our side. I don't think I would have been happy in the other room knowing that the folks next door could pop in when ever they wanted! There may have been a chain or something on the other side but we didn't try to open it and find out. There was no bolt or chain on either of our exterior doors which made me a little uncomfortable at night. We've had a couple of odd experiences in similar situations not to mention the missing and surplus keys.
I loved this bright yellow boat house.
Old Forge Pond sits at the beginning of the Fulton Chain of Lakes. Rather than rent a boat we decided to cruise the first four lakes with Old Forge Lake Cruises.
The boat had a nice open top deck. There was a group that had come up on the train from Utica. We happened to pick the time when they were filming a tourist piece and we got a
The videographer was on the mail boat which was keeping pace with us just outside the main channel. If you see the video look for me - I'm the one taking pictures of the camera. We were all watching him and waving when all of a sudden he just about fell out of the boat as it suddenly slowed! I think they just hit a sand bar and everyone was OK but they didn't follow us much further.
Now I love kids. Maybe that radiates off of me or something but it seems that small children are always seated behind me on buses, trains, planes and boats. The little guy behind me was cute as a button and bored to tears. I started cracking up when he was whining and his father, after several attempts to figure out what he wanted (the boy said juice three times) told him to tell his mother what he wanted because dad couldn't make out what he was saying. As much as I like kids, I do not like having my chair kicked repeatedly or being hit in the back of the head by flailing arms. When we got to the turn around point we headed downstairs where the view wasn't nearly as good and I wish we'd stayed up top.
In one of the narrows we passed a kayaker and his dog. Yes, the dog was in the kayak and if he'd had his way he would have chased our boat right out of the water. The dog was barking and lunging and the guy was holding onto the dog to keep it from jumping in after us. I was cracking up. As far as I could see the kayak stayed upright. I wonder if the same rules apply to dogs in kayaks as dogs in canoes? LOL Naturally, I had put the camera away so I missed out on a great picture.
The rest of our trip was fairly uneventful. We read a couple of books, enjoyed the wildlife and relaxed.

[originally posted on Search Engine Watch]
Everyone knows the importance of testing and optimizing ads, yet no one seems to be doing it as often as they'd like to. A wise man named Bryan Eisenberg once said that successful companies run at least 30 tests a month (granted this includes landing pages too). Are you anywhere close to that? Would you like to be?
Now more than ever, it's evident that people are starting to embrace a testing and optimization culture in their organizations, even though it's rarely anyone's single role or job. I'm still waiting to see a business card that says Jane Smith, Testing & Optimization Specialist.
With a myriad of tools and education available to us (often at little to no cost), what's stopping us from testing and optimizing on a regular basis? Perhaps it's because you don't know where and what to test.
So if you don't know where to start…
Test Where There's Traffic
There are two upsides to testing in high-volume ad groups:
- It will help you determine which metric to test for (CTR, CPI, etc.).
- Your tests will conclude a lot faster. And when they do, you can take what you learned or elements you've found successful and disseminate them across your entire account.
How About What to Test?
What may sometimes seem like a simple 90 – 130 characters on the surface is actually a daunting combination of a whole bunch of different elements you can test.
Let's look at six top elements you can focus on testing.
1. Strong Headlines
Headlines are usually the first thing a searcher looks at, so always make sure you use a strong one.
In one recent test, the same exact body and URL of an ad remained the same, but the headline changed from "Does your CTR Suck?" to "Your CTR Sucks." The result? A 52 percent increase in click-through rate.
2. Test Benefits vs Features
There is, of course, no doubt that your product/service is great because of all the features you've built into it. But sometimes, searchers are less interested in a list of awesome features, and more interested in what these features can do for them.
Testing can show you that more people clicked on an ad with the words "Get Ripped" rather than an ad that said "12 workout DVDs".
3. Differentiate Your Offer
Sure, we've all got competitors. But the fact that you're still in business is a strong indication that you're offering something better or different.
In the real world, your competitors don't stand directly on top or underneath you but on a SERP, they do. Make sure your ads stand out by highlighting that differentiating factor.
Do you have the best customer service? Do you offer free shipping? Lowest price guarantee?
4. Speak to the Pain Points of Your Audience
PPC is a demand fulfillment process. People are searching in order to solve a problem or fill a need. If you reinforce that pain or need in your ad, it's an indication that you have a strong understanding of what it is, and your product or service can truly solve it.
For example, if you run a split test for a local and "very casual" dating site, which ad do you think will perform better: an ad that says "find and chat with locals" or another one that says "get a date tonight"? The one that cut to the chase.
5. Include Keywords when Appropriate
Dynamic keyword insertion (DKI) can be your best friend, so use it when appropriate but don't abuse it. Mirroring keywords in your ads creates a tighter and more relevant search experience and increases your chances of winning more clicks.
6. Include a Strong Call to Action
We all know the importance of including a call to action, but we don't often think about testing different or stronger ones. A recent split test for a travel booking site saw an increase of 259 percent in CTR when switching their call to action from "save time" to "save and book".
On a final note, please realize that your ads are always beatable. Even when you run tests and see great improvements, have faith in yourself that you can still beat that great ad with an even greater one.
So there you have it. Six different elements to get you started on your ad testing and optimization journey. Want more? Ask in the comments and you shall receive.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service has announced the hiring of Clark Neely as the new state small grains and oilseeds specialist, according to Dr. Travis Miller.
"This position is vital to our vast small grains industry, as it transfers and demonstrates emerging technologies on Texas farms and ranches," said Miller, AgriLife Extension program leader and associate department head for soil and crop sciences at Texas A&M University in College Station.
Neely, who will begin the position in April after completing his doctoral work at Texas A&M, will also be an assistant professor in the department of soil and crop sciences, Miller said. He will fill the position formerly held by Dr. Rob Duncan.
"Texas A&M AgriLife Extension provides a powerful leadership role in educating Texas farmers and is an organization I will be proud to represent," Neely said. "The state has many traditions and values that should be considered when developing innovative farming methods that improve food security and environmental integrity."
Neely said he will use his diverse agricultural background to bring a unique perspective to the job and to connect producers with applied research that is directly related to their production systems.
He earned a bachelor's degree in agricultural Extension and education from The Pennsylvania State University and a master's degree in plant science from the University of Idaho. Most recently, he has worked as a graduate research assistant within the Texas A&M University System.
His research projects have focused on legume-based cropping systems for sustainable agriculture production in East Texas, with a goal to maintain yields while enhancing soil organic matter and limiting nitrogen fertilizer rates, essential for economic and environmental viability.
"With increasing concerns of water shortages, soil health and production costs, diversity is an essential component of any sustainable cropping system, including small grains," Neely said. "Oilseeds can be an attractive rotation crop for small grains producers because of similarities in equipment and cultural practices."

Did you used to have a lot more energy? Maybe you could get a good night's sleep, or were more easy going and positive about life. And sex was, well, a lot better. What happened?
Many of us figure we're getting old. Or, maybe there was an event that took something out of you - an illness, or a new baby. After that, you were never the same.
Are you a person who knows something has gone wrong with your health, but no one can tell you what it is or how to get healthy again?
If you don't feel like yourself - if you feel depleted and can't catch up - it is very possible that your hormones are out of balance.
Depression, anxiety, mood swings, mental fog are common symptoms of deficient or imbalanced hormones.
Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone (the main female and male hormones) have powerful effects on the brain and the body.
Thyroid hormone is a key regulator of body and mind, and low thyroid function is more common than conventional tests can show.
If your adrenal glands are not healthy, you will have many emotional and mental symptoms in addition to body discomforts.
And low or high neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine cause fatigue, anxiety and depression.

As a student at Moonvalley Academy, you are sent to Riverside to help document the coming total solar eclipse. On your way you'll meet zombies, talking animals and of course... no rpg would be complete without rats. What really happened during the last total solar eclipse, and is history doomed to repeat itself? To answer to these questions, you must venture deep inside the caves beneath Riverside, and face the horrors of the past. The main story are divided into four chapters, chapter one is almost complete and chapter two is on the way. Moonvalley is build using PlatinumArts Sandbox (PAS), but it's a separate game that does not require PAS to be installed. So far the game is a one-person project, but I would not have been able to do it without the help of Hirato and everyone else at the PAS forum. If you want a fully functioning game, I suggest you at least wait until a beta arrives, the alpha-releases are playable but most likely unstable.
Added a healing spell to player and fixed quest-bug in Riverside.

Wa the writer born in the 70's
or are they trying to please the Yanks and Euro's
"extra 5.5mm wider has a screen that is 0.3 of an inch bigger"
The first two devices to run the "Croix" touchscreen UI didn't float our boat. The Armani was high on style, low on ability, the F700 tried to be some sort of smartphone all-things-to-all-men. The new home of the Croix, the F490, is pitched as an altogether more run of the mill device; no silly designer labels, no pretensions …
"Samsung is knocking out new handset designs so fast it is losing the knack of landing a killer punch"
Of course, got to have something 0.0001% better to sell next week. good business practice dont you know! if you make it too good you wont sell anything afterwards.
Not just samsung though, as with the K850i upgrade to 5MP camera!!, but downgrade the ability to focus on video, downgrade the ability to use the flash properly in close up etc etc the K800 camera is so much better quality than the K850. and even though the K850 has more pixels, the K800 pictures are better when printed.... anyway sony makes cameras seperatly, so there will never be a knockout from them... k850 was my last sony device and will remain so, the're shite!. my next phone will be from a company that doesn't make cameras sepertatly... maybe Noknok...
mixing metric and imperial is what makes you Brits so lovably eccentric, probably all a part of you not knowing if you want to be part of Europe or the USA!
"How big's you TV?"
"about 80cm wide by 60 tall, 32inch screen"
"how much is gas in the UK?
"About £1.25 a litre"
"and your speed limit?"
wasn't this what put a recent Mars probe into the ground at several hundred mph (kph)?
I had the F700 for about a month, and I've just sold it and gone back to my N73.
The slider forever caught on my pocket, activating the screen. Many's the time I took it out to find it surfing Vodafone Live.
The UI just doesn't make sense... the Samsung interface just isn't logical. Perhaps I just I'm just used to Nokia, as I am with touch screens from my iTouch - the Samsung just can't compare, it's very unpredictable and inaccurate. This is of course assuming it uses the same screen as the F700.
The F series really are best avoided for some of the better LG, Nokia and Sony offerings.
I've got this phone and at first it was great however there are more issues.
The screen is difficult to see in daylight.
The answering method is annoying to get used to as it can be multiple key presses to answer and end calls.
There are very few extras available for this phone and I've not yet found a game that works with the touch screen.
Two extra good points. The annoying beep's can be turned off and you can watch videos in full screen you just need to get some other free software to do the conversion

Letters like the one Salvation Army Maj. David Craddock received last year always have the same effect.
Letters like the one Salvation Army Maj. David Craddock received last year always have the same effect.
"You can't stop it; you tear up," he said.
The letter came from a woman who lives out of town, but who remembered how her family was blessed by the people in Cleveland County.
"When she was a child, she received food and toys from the Salvation Army," Craddock said. "She sent it to Shelby and said she wanted it to be used for someone who needs it now."
Those letters warm your heart, said Craddock and his wife, Maj. Cherry Craddock. After leading Christmas campaigns for the Salvation Army for 35 years, the couple will retire in June.
"Obviously we want this to be the best Christmas ever," said David Craddock.
He knows $35,000 is a lofty goal for the Empty Stocking Fund, but he and his wife have lived in Shelby long enough to experience the generosity of people in Cleveland County.
"The money will go to provide whatever we need for Christmas for the families and seniors," Cherry Craddock said. "We are providing Christmas for 175 families, 125 senior citizens and 450 children."
Your gifts not only make a difference for a child this year, but are an investment in a child's life. A child who will some day grow up and remember to give thanks to the community who helped her.
It's a gift that keeps on giving.
Reach Jackie Bridges at 704-669-3337 or email email@example.com.
Donations may be dropped off from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The Star, 315 E. Graham St., Shelby. Mail donations to The Star, P.O. Box 48, Shelby, NC 28151.

I got a Christmas card today. That's so nice, right? We all love getting cards. Well, this one was a bit different... First, I must explain the card, then I will include what was written in it below. I do not know the person who sent this card, but I know who encouraged the sending. My grandmother... She doesn't know that I'm an atheist, but she knows that I am not "one with the Lord." She is an insane fundie; I am used to her Jesus ramblings and what not. But, this card is stepping over the line... Remember, I do not know the person who sent this (although the paranoid side of me thinks the handwriting looks suspiciously like my grandmothers...). This is what it says...
"Hi! I am Dorothy from Northeast Baptist Church and I have been praying for you for a year now. Hope you could tell someone was praying for you. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. It's all about Jesus! Love and prayers, Dorothy"
That looks all sweet and innocent, right? But, add in the fact that I know my grandmother is involved and the fact that she is always pushing religion on me, and this card is nowhere near innocent. I want to send a letter back to her (Dorothy). I know that it wouldn't be the nicest card, and I would tell her that even though she was praying for me for a year, that life still had it's 50/50 rate of good and bad, but I'd thank her for her kindness anyway (and wish her happy holidays)... My problem is that I know my judgment is screwed up by my annoyance and anger, and I would like your opinions on what you think I should do. Plus, it always feels nice to rant and complain about things like this. :p
Any thoughts on what I should do, or if I'm right in being annoyed, would be appreciated!

In a footnote at the bottom of this blog post,
you will find a link to website that contains numerous graphic exhibits showing that the Nazis were not atheists. Among them is a painting done by Adolph Hitler around 1912. To make sure no one thinks you are secretly a Nazi and to get your point across, I suggest sending this picture as a Christmas card next year to anyone who sends you theist drivel this year with a message that says:
"I know you celebrate Christmas as the birth of Jesus, so I thought you would appreciate a card illustrated by one of your fellow Christians."
Then make sure the picture retains the caption explaining who painted it.
Its hard to give advise because we do not know the FULL extend of the relationship you have
with your grandmother.
Honestly, I would send a letter back to Dorothy to the address of the Church with a note.
"Thanx for the card. I'm still an Athiest. Keep praying, though. Happy Sol Invictus!"
Thank you to everybody who replied to this! Nice thought provoking answers from you guys. :)
After reading the responses from you guys, people who understand where I'm coming from, and talking with my family, I have decided that the best thing for me to do is to talk to my grandmother. I will tell her that I do not appreciate her giving my address to anybody that I do not know, and let her know that I would talk to her more if Jesus didn't come up every five minutes. As for Dorothy, if she ever sends anything again, I think I will send a letter similar to the example that Jim DePaulo gave. ;)
Hi Sara, I just popped in here and saw your post. I'm having a somewhat similar problem with my "born-again-nutjob" niece. Here's my story:
She knows that I am an atheist and a few years ago I told her not to send me any of her "christian fairy tales". Over the past few years I
have never sent her anything about the topic of religion or freethought, only generic birthday/holiday cards to her and her kids.
This year, she foolishly disregarded my wishes. Early in December, she sent me a x-mas letter which also contained a separate pamphlet of the "nativity story". She knew
that I would respond to her trying to push her religion on me. And it
was a mild response on my part. In return, in her birthday card, I sent
her a small pamphlet from the FFRF called "Dear Christian". It basically
states why I don't believe in her religion. I thought that would get my point across without being hostile.
However, her husband, the one who brainwashed her, does not want her to have any contact with me
or to be influenced by rational thought. When I sent them a generic
holiday greeting card, it was returned, unopened with big bold letters
on the outside saying "STOP SENDING US CARDS! OR MAIL!" I'm fairly sure
it was the handwriting of her arrogant little pr**k of a husband.
So, I came to the conclusion that it does no good to try to reason with such
people. You have to stand up to them. To get thru to them, you sometimes have to fight RUDENESS with
RUDENESS! I have a little surprise for them, that is in the works. He will learn that he CAN NOT tell me what to do! I
will NOT be silenced!! :)
I need to get that "dear christian" pamphlet. It will say everything i want to say, and it may help because it isn't coming from me. When i deal with relatives older than me, well, it's pointless. They start shaking their head and rolling your eyes before I can complete my first sentence.
You could write back saying something like "Thanks for sharing your point of view/opinion", and then give your point of view, and end it cheerfully. It's only fair that you have a voice. If that's not allowed, i don't know what kind of relationship could be possible. If you only see your grandmother twice a year, I would've written Dorothy back.

"Kony 2012" viral video stirs emotion and controversy
"Kony 2012," uploaded to YouTube on March 5, tells the story of filmmaker Jason Russell's personal mission to take down Joseph Kony, the Ugandan leader of the guerrilla group Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
The video garnered over 26.6 million views in less than a week, but it's also sparked controversy because the filmmakers were accused of spending more money on marketing than on-the-ground humanitarian work.
Russell was later arrested in San Diego, but not before being filmed naked and rambling on the street, in a video that was broadcast on TMZ.com.

Graffiti artist goes from homeless to millionaire following Facebook IPO
There was plenty of drama surrounding Facebook's initial public offering, but the most unique story was of graffiti artist David Choe. Choe was hired by then Facebook president Sean Parker to paint a mural at Facebook's first office in Palo Alto in 2005. When the mural was finished, Parker gave Choe the option of taking cash or stock options. He took the stock and went from being homeless to being a millionaire.

New York Knicks phenomenon Jeremy Lin, who was then only known as a bench-warmer, took the National Basketball Association and the Internet by storm after he lead the Knicks to a win against the New Jersey Nets, scoring 25 points. And "Linsanity" was born.
Immediately, commentators and fans began playing off of Lin's name and phrases like "Linsanity," "Linderella," "Linsane" and "Linferno" began popping up.
The Knicks went on a seven game winning streak, but did not reach the playoffs. Lin has since been drafted by the Houston Rockets.

Tupac performs at Coachella ... sort of
Audiences were treated with a reunion between deceased rapper Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre and Snoop Lion (formerly Snoop Dogg) at the 2012 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. The question on most people's minds was, "How did they do it?"
Although the perception was of a 3D likeness of Shakur, the image was actually a 2D image. Shakur's likeness was projected onto an angled piece of glass on ground, which in turn projected the image onto a Mylar screen on stage.

Abraham Lincoln invented Facebook?
Blogging consultant Nate St. Pierre decided to have a little fun with the Internet by fabricating a story about how Lincoln was rejected for a patent in 1845 for a Facebook-like newspaper.
St. Pierre got a few bites and the story spread through the Internet and Twitter as a newly-discovered fact. The viral hoax was picked up by a few tech blogs.
Taking a jab at reporters, St. Pierre's final reason for the hoax was to "to illustrate one of the drawbacks to our 'first and fastest' news aggregation and reporting mentality, especially online."

Leading up to Facebook's initial public offering reports that the social network's co-founder Eduardo Saverin relinquished his U.S. citizenship in favor of his current residence of Singapore.
It was reported that Saverin could have dodged $67 million in U.S. taxes because Singapore does not have capital gains taxes. Saverin was born in Brazil, moved to the United States in 1992 and became a citizen in 1998.
Saverin, who has been living in Singapore since 2009, denied that his move was related to tax evasion and said in a statement that he is obligated and will pay "hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to the United States government."

Clint Eastwood talks to an empty chair at the RNC
Clint Eastwood's surprise appearance at the Republican National Convention was exciting for fans, but has also attracted some likely unintentional, unwelcome attention.
The 82-year-old legendary actor and director made an appearance at the RCN to support Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. During a 10-minute improvised speech, Eastwood exchanged words an imaginary President Obama.
The appearance sparked Internet jokes on Twitter and other social networks, including a photo meme that depicted people talking to empty chairs. Eastwood defended himself, saying that when he was mayor of Carmel, Calif. he never gave speeches.
"They've got this crazy actor who's 82 years old up there in a suit," he said. "I was a mayor, and they're probably thinking I know how to give a speech, but even when I was mayor I never gave speeches. I gave talks."

The Dodgers have signed veteran utilityman Chone Figgins to a minor-league contract, according to multiple reports Wednesday.
Figgins, who turns 36 today, did not play last season after being released by the Miami Marlins in spring training.
At his peak with the Angels in the mid-2000s, Figgins was an on-base machine capable of stealing a base and playing six positions — all except first base, pitcher or catcher.
He quickly wore out his welcome after signing a lucrative free-agent contract with the Seattle Mariners in 2009. In three seasons he batted .227/.302/.283 before being released with one year left on his contract.

Remember the days when sayings like Winning and Tigerblood were the talk of the town? Yeah neither can I, or I can remember winning and it's Twitter hash tag #Winning making the rounds. Oh how appropriate that hash tag would be right now.
I knew the team would be strong and would have a good chance at challenging teams, but to start the season in this fashion has been great. I think the win against Romford showed that the team has some real character and balls! In the lead up to the Finns winning the world championship there was a lot of talk in the press how the team had more balls and courage to do stuff and I think the win against Romford really showed that the team is capable of doing anything when we set our minds to it.
The game was tough, I'm not denying that and I give all credit to the Romford guys. They kept us honest for the whole 60 minutes and did not give up. I like games like that. I remember being on the bench in the third and keeping a watchful eye on the clock, thinking "Another 5 minutes and we've got this". I was on the ice when the buzzer went and, well what can I say? It was pretty epic.
We've got another game coming up this weekend and we need to work hard in training, as there were still a few things that left something to be desired for in the Romford game. The passion is definitely there, but we just need to make sure the passion shows from the word go and we don't turn up flat.
Looking forward to it already.

wu-tang clan
Raekwon @ Apollo Theater
- 2003-10-02 17:55:00
© The Wu-Tang Corp.
- 2003-10-02
Raekwon was performing Tuesday at New York's Apollo Theater during most people's happy hour.
"Call me in 30 minutes," the Chef of the Wu-Tang Clan said. He and his posse end all phone calls with a friendly, drawn-out "Peace." Then, "Call me in five minutes."
Five minutes later, his cell phone's in use. The rapper from the notorious clan phones at 12:32 a.m. his time, perhaps the only time between flights and performances to catch him.
Once he gets here, says the rapper, "What I bring to the table is jewels and food for thought."
There's no keeping up with Raekwon.
The closest you get is in a dance club, following along with his rhymes while he's freestyle rapping to beats like the sexy flute rhythm to "Nothin' " by Noreaga.
This weekend, there's one other way.
The street cat is coming to the Aggie Theatre on Saturday.
"He demonstrates what hip-hop should be," said Josh Carruthers, director of sales and marketing for Szango Inc., which booked the act. "What I remember best is the song 'Ice Cream.' That was a jam back when I was in high school -- 10th or 11th grade.
"He's an original member of the Wu-Tang Clan," Carruthers said. "He's one of the sharpest MCs in the rap world. He tells stories about life in New York City, about hard street life."
The Wu-Tang Clan is made up of nine rappers who grew up together in the different burroughs of New York City, rap together, record together and have solo careers and record deals on the side.
They started as an underground group and gained worldwide notoriety in the rap world.
The group now holds the rights to several kung-fu movies and has its own clothing line.
The group set out to reshape the music industry with its keen business acumen. And it became a multi-platinum group.
As a soloist, Raekwon promises his own distinction.
"I bring a lot of slang to the game," he says. "My stories are so visual and vivid that fans are going to be like, 'I understand exactly what he's talking about.' I'm like Oliver Stone with this."
Raekwon's appearance is the first since Szango's return to the local music scene. Szango Inc., formerly Szango Productions, last year booked artists like Israel Vibration, De La Soul and John Brown's Body to Fort Collins among many hip-hop and reggae shows designed to bring more culture and diversity to the area through music.

Re-interpreting Aby Warburg: a 2013 conference in London on a 1905 lecture in Hamburg
Dürer and Warburg: Interpreting Antiquity took place on 22 and 23 November 2013 at the Courtauld and the Warburg Institutes
If Aby Warburg was obsessed with the unexpected eruption of ancient forms of extreme expression in Renaissance art and beyond, Christopher Wood is obsessed with the way in which such methodological innovations could prompt the recognition of the complex temporality of the work of art (see Anachronic Renaissance, 2010, co-authored with Alexander Nagel). In the keynote lecture delivered last Friday at the Warburg Institute, Wood paid his homage to Warburg in focusing on Dürer's drawing The Death of Orpheus (1494).
Wood developed his argument around the concept of PATHOS and how in some cases, like sodomy, "passions" can be crimes, or for renaissance humanists, educational practices. He proposed the term "wobble" to refer to the horizontal recombination, or to the continuous mythic substitutions happening within certain formulas, in order to overcome the polarities of artistic analysis – for instance, Apollonian and Dionysian. Instability in formulas of passions proves more productive than fixed meaning.
On Saturday, Marcus Hurttig reconstructed the history of that lecture and its parallel display, highlighting the difficult relationship between Warburg and Alfred Lichtwark, the first director of the Hamburger Kunsthalle. Most importantly, Hurttig's paper compared the small display of originals organised for the conference to the bigger exhibition of about one hundred fac-similes plates that Warburg had assembled that same year at the Volksheim in Hamburg (this story was reconstructed in 2011 by Hurttig in an exhibition at the Hamburger Kunsthalle about Warburg's previously unknown activity as a curator).
Thomas Schauerte's close reading of two woodcuts from around 1494 (Ercules and The knight and the Lansquenet) was very traditional in its method, but it successfully posed the question of the use of contemporary sources in Dürer's early years; Porras' paper on The Death of Orpheus focused on the inscriptions and on technique, providing a reading of the social context of production of , and on the artist's ambitions.
The biological and neurological foundations of Warburg's pathosformel were the basis of David Freedberg's lecture. Experiments on the mirror system, whose function in aiding perception is subject to speculation, shows for Freedberg the empirical and scientific basis of Warburg's Pathosformel. When the viewer lays his eyes upon the depiction of an upraised arm, a bended knee or an open palm, his brain begins the process of enacting these gestures. Once self-awareness intrudes and the viewer realizes that they do not need to make these gestures themselves, then we are opened up to the opportunity for self-reflection and aesthetic judgment. By extension, Dr. Freeberg's research helps us to appreciate the timeless and universal claims of Warburg's analysis of the function of gestures for, by virtue of scientific evidence, such empathetical and neurological reactions to art are a part of our intrinsic, internal wiring.
Philipp Ekardt provided a survey of art historical reactions to the story of the discovery of the Laocoon statue in 1506, and then offered a succinct introduction to the methodological subtleties that distinguish Warburg's analysis of this famous statuary masterpiece. In particular, he highlighted pathosformel's methdological capacity to focus on individual passages within the work of art, free from the context of the work overall.
As the first scholar to catalogue Panofsky's personal correspondence, Dieter Wuttke has had unique access to his thoughts and hopes; he provided an intimate and sentimental portrait of the relationship between Panofsky and Warburg. It was thus a remarkable opportunity to hear his retelling of the collegiality, if not friendship, between Panofsky and Warburg. As the speaker pointed out, this relationship may come to us as a surprise given the fundamental differences between the corresponding methodologies and bodies of work of these two giants. Nevertheless, the first-hand accounts that Wuttke cited cannot deny the degree of interaction between them, ranging from their first visit in 1915 when Panofsky and a group of students went to on a field-trip to visit Warburg, to their life-long correspondence and many evenings spent in discussion, to Panofsky's election as director of the Warburg Institute.
Conceived by Courtauld curator Stephanie Buck and Warburg's archivist Claudia Wedepohl as a contemporary parallel to the lecture delivered by Aby Warburg in Hamburg on 5 October 1905 and titled 'Dürer and Italian Antiquity' (Dürer und die italienische Antike), this conference was also a complement to the Courtauld's current exhibition The Young Dürer: Drawing the Figure and especially to its smaller sister-display Antiquity Unleashed: Aby Warburg, Dürer and Mantegna. In the latter, visitors can see the same original works Aby Warburg had borrowed from the Hamburger Kunsthalle to illustrate the argument of his lecture more than one hundred years ago.

Breaking It Down
The Rob Gronkowski dance train rolled into Massachusetts last night -- when the Patriots tight end hit up the Beyonce concert ... AND BROKE IT DOWN LIKE A PRO!!!
Gronk let the music take hold ... and danced harder than ever when the Queen Bey busted out her hit, "Partition."
Gronk spent some time in the V.I.P. section with roughly 6 friends -- including Pats owner Robert Kraft (but we're told RK left early).
And as hard as Gronk went during "Partition," we're told he absolutely lost his mind during "Drunk In Love"
Gronk seems to be on a concert tear -- just last week, the 25-year-old NFL superstar went to a Jennifer Lopez show in Connecticut and rocked out to "Jenny from the Block."

Genetics of Duodenal Cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My 28 year-old triplet daughter found out she has duodenum cancer. She had surgery last month. She has an identical sister who [the] doctors want tested. They did a CT scan and ran blood work and she appears to be cancer free. How often should the unaffected sister be tested? Should the girls� triplet brother be tested also? I also have two other older daughters. Should they be tested also? We were told this is a genetic cancer and usually affects people in their 60's.
Jill Stopfer, MS, CGC, Certified Genetic Counselor, responds:
Duodenal cancers can be associated with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), which is a genetic condition that does run in families. People with FAP tend to have many, many polyps, so it would be interesting to know if she ever had a colonoscopy done, and if so, if she had any polyps.
Knowing which gene or which condition your daughter with duodenal cancer has that might have made her more vulnerable to develop this cancer would be helpful to her siblings and other family members. Your daughter (and both siblings) could certainly benefit from being seen by a genetic counselor at a GI Genetics Program. You can find a local program here: http://www.nsgc.org/resourcelink.cfm
It is important to be seen by a counselor and not just have genetic testing. If not, people are left with test results and not a clear understanding of what they mean for them & their family. But a visit to a counselor does not in any way mean you must have testing. The counselor will review what can be learned, what the results will and won�t mean, and then the person can make an educated decision whether to be tested or not.
Unless someone can sort out the type of genetic risk that led to the duodenal cancer, testing the person who had the duodenal cancer will not be informative for the other family members. So basically the person with the cancer must be tested first in order to determine what abnormality to look for in the others.
In general, the screening for duodenal cancer is upper endoscopy, but if the duodenal cancer is part of FAP, then additional screening is warranted, too (annual colonoscopy). If the duodenal cancer is part of a different hereditary cancer syndrome, then similarly there may be additional screening recommendation for other cancers as well.

Freehand machine embroidery & knitting
So last weekend I went to Bath to meet the super lovely Scruffy Badger for a Freehand Machine Embroidery workshp at the Makery.
It was amazing fun, but I did struggle to control the speed of my machine. It kept going a bit haywire until Susi, the teacher, put me on a different machine. It seemed the one I was on was misbehaving and the foot pedal was not sensitive enough to recognise when I wanted to GO SLOW.
I made the little piece below.
Am thinking I might frame it using an embroidery hoop. You can see ScruffyBadger's amazing creation here. Check out the lace on the knickers, awesome!!!
Now freehand machine embroidery has so many possibilities creatively. I want to try more. The drawback is my machine doesn't have the capacity to drop the feed dogs (the little spiky teeth that push the fabric forwards). So it seems I am starting to reach a point that my lovely machine is just too basic for what I want to do. Perhaps it's time to look in to upgrading my machine......
On Monday I started a 6 week beginners knitting and crochet class at the Folk House. So far I have learnt to knit and purl. We haven't learnt to cast on yet so I can't start making anything. But I know what I want to make once we have covered the basics. hand warmers!
Now lovely blog readers as Christmas is coming up and I want to start writing my Christmas list, can you recommend any good books for beginner knitters? I want to start with a few simple projects, with a variety of stitches and I like the look of chunky yarns. I know Karen has recommended The gentle art of knitting, and I do like the look of it.
Also recommendations for pieces of kit I may want to get, and good yarn suppliers would be ace.
Oh also last weekend I made a new Kelly skirt (you can see a sneak preview on Scruffy Badger's blog). But it's in the wash at the moment, so that blog post will probably have to wait till next weekend, so I can show you pictures of it in daylight.

Woo hoo!! Your beach huts are so cute!! I'm afraid I'm still musing over beginners knitting books too, and agree Jane brockets looks like it has small projects in that are not too daunting. Our knitting class is at the folk house? That makes sense, I've seen lots of interesting things on their crafty programme....ReplyDelete
They're cute! I haven't done that sort of embroidery in ages. I couldn't drop the feed dogs on my old machine either, but I had this little plastic cover that slotted over the feed dogs, a darning plate I think it was but it worked for free machine embroidery too!ReplyDelete
I learnt to knit using Knitty Gritty by Aneeta Patel. There are projects to make as you go along, and it walks you through how to follow a pattern. I already had the basics down, but it answered lots of newbie questions I had and helped massively in following a pattern :) Good luck!ReplyDelete
Your beach huts are adorable!!! I learned to knit last October at a class and I never looked back. I didn't go down the beginner book path as the class was so good, but I have and still do look stuff up on YouTube and on www.knittinghelp.com! You can always do an amazon search and read some reviews too. As for yarn suppliers, one of my favourite ones online is one I accidentally found and that always seems to have good deals/sales on: http://www.packlanewool.co.uk/ReplyDelete
Oh, I love the beach huts! I bet looking at them perks you up throughout the winter :) I'd second Ashley's recommendation of Knitty Gritty - it's fantastic! Aneeta Patel has got a second book out now, Knitty Gritty: The Next Steps, which I've just bought, and it's got so many more lovely projects!ReplyDelete
This is lovely! Ooh I'm thinking I could make some very nice bits for my niece and nephew :)ReplyDelete

Cards down Reds, end three-game losing streak
St. Louis, MO – Jaime Garcia pitched eight strong innings as Matt Holliday's two-run home run lifted the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds at Busch Stadium.
Garcia (3-1) scattered just seven hits and a run for St. Louis, which snapped a three-game losing skid and knotted the three-game set with Cincinnati. Carlos Beltran went 3-for-4.
Bronson Arroyo (2-3) was solid as well despite the loss. Although he went without a strikeout for the first time since May 28, 2011, Arroyo needed just 78 pitches to get through seven innings. He allowed Holliday's homer.
"I can't complain about it," Arroyo said of his outing. "I pitched a great ballgame, but Garcia pitched a little bit better."
The Reds threatened in the second inning as Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce slapped back-to-back singles with no outs. However Todd Frazier grounded into a fielder's choice and Devin Mesoraco rolled into a double-play.
After four scoreless frames, Cincinnati finally broke through with a run in the top of the fifth. Following a Mesoraco single, Derrick Robinson reached on a fielder's choice. Arroyo laid down a sacrifice bunt, advancing Robinson to second, where he scored on Shin-Soo Choo's RBI-double. Zack Cozart grounded out, leaving Choo stranded on second.
With one away in the bottom of the sixth, Beltran singled to right, bringing up Holliday, who was 0-2 with two groundouts to that point. Holliday battled to a full count before lining an Arroyo off-speed pitch into the seats in left-center field.
"He's just so strong, the ball was on a line," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said of Holliday's homer. "It was a nice short stroke, wasn't trying to do too much. It was good to see that timely hit."
Edward Mujica struck out the side in the ninth for his fifth save in as many tries.
Game Notes
Garcia threw 70 of his 92 pitches for strikes ... Holliday grounded into two double-plays ... The Cardinals did not register an at-bat with a runner in scoring position ... Both teams slapped seven hits ... Phillips went 2-for-4.

131: Fans
Title text: It's not going to break the fan, bouncing a rubber ball off the wall isn't going to dent it, and the roof can hold me just fine. You LIED!
This comic is probably best understood by someone with young kids who explore everything in their household, and the fear that the kids will damage something expensive. Some parents issue harsh warnings to their children when they so much as touch an expensive item, which can be frustrating to children who feel that they don't have the freedom to explore.
In the comic, Cueball lets go of these frustrations as he finally owns his own place. He buys an oscillating fan and grabs its head, locking the mechanism that rotates it. As it attempts to turn, a release stub on the motor clicks to alleviate pressure and prevent damage to the fan. Cueball enjoys the clicking sound that the fan makes, without having to worry about his mother stopping him.
This shares a theme with 357: Flies.
The title text gives more falsehoods that his mother told him: that bouncing a ball against a wall will dent the wall, or that the roof is too weak to hold his weight.
- [Cueball holding fan in place.]
- click click
- Best thing about having my own apartment: Holding fans in place so they twitch helplessly and make that clicking sound without my mom yelling at me.

When I started watching the latest Ken Blocks' Gymkhana—filmed from every angle with a billion GoPro cameras—I was thinking "oh, this is neat." By the middle of it I was "oh, wait, what? WHAT?" And at the end I was "what the hell did I just watch?"
If there's any video that realizes the potential of these little cameras to record everything from every single angle in every single position with outstanding quality, this is it. GoPro, stop making these videos. There's no way you can beat this.
