Skype Chat tips and tricks
Skype Chat (some people call it "Instant Messaging", but doesn't "chat" sound much nicer and cleaner?) is the hidden gem of Skype. True, Skype is first and foremost about calling. But there are many times when you'd want to use text chat instead of, or together with, voice calls. So we went to great lengths to make it useful for ourselves — there are probably thousands of Skype chats going on among the Skype staff and our friends and partners at any given time — which hopefully means its useful and fun to you too.
There are some things in the chat feature that are not obvious, but once you get to know them, you'll love them.
]]> First, there is a [user guide](http://www.skype.com/help/guides/chat.html) for chat. True, you can get by with Skype without ever reading user guides, but this one contains several useful and not-so-obvious hints. I'm not going to retype all of it here, so head over to that guide and study it.
Some highlights.
### Drag and drop
Drag-and-drop works well in Skype chat. You can drag and drop people between your contact list and chats, or between chats. Want to add someone from your contact list to a chat? Just drag him/her from the contact list to an existing chat. Want to move people between chats? Drag them over to the other chat. The user objects in the chat participants list are large and easy to grab.
If you have an ongoing team chat and want to distribute a file to several people at the same time, there's no need to do separate File Transfers to everyone — just drag and drop a file onto the chat window and it's sent to everyone in the chat (they have to accept it, of course).
### Die popups die!
Preferences differ. If you're not the busy type, you surely enjoy a window popping up every time someone wants to say hi. But if you're busy and engage in conversations with tens of people during the day, which is often the case if you use Skype at work, there's nothing more annoying than all those windows and notifications popping up. So do yourself a favour, go study the Options where you can turn things on and off as you like.
If you go to the "Advanced" section in Options and uncheck "Pop up chat window", all of those chat windows popping up suddenly disappear. When a new chat message is received, it is placed in the Events panel that provides an extremely handy overview of things wanting your attention, but lets you do your own choices as to which chats needs your attention in which order. Chat topics are useful, but if a chat doesn't have a topic, Skype automatically uses the first few words from the chat as the topic in the Events area. So the Events area becomes an inbox of sorts. (See also ["How we (don't) use e-mail"](http://blogs.skype.com/blog/insight/how_we_%28don%27t%29_use_e-mail/)).
See also the "Notifications" section that lets you enable or disable various types of event notifications — those small windows appearing and disappearing when someone comes online, starts a chat/call with you or does any of the other things you can do in Skype.
### Small is beautiful
For minimalistic chat experience, try going to Advanced in Options and set chat style to IRC-like style, and hide the user list during the chat. Suddenly, much more text fits in the window since those "bubbles" between messages are no longer there. Of course, some people like bubbles, so you can give both styles a go and see for yourself which of the two is more useful to you.

Finding Movers you Can Count on
There is little that is more nerve wracking than entrusting your belongings to movers. This is why it is so important to take your time when researching Richmond movers and to not simply find the cheapest mover that is available to move your things. Reputation and word of mouth is everything when looking for movers, so be on the lookout for information about movers in your area.
Perhaps one of the easiest ways to find Richmond movers with a good reputation is to ask your real estate agents if they know of anyone they could recommend. You can also do your research online, where you will find that many people are happy to leave comments about their favorite movers. You should also rely on the level of experience as well as time in business for each mover. You may also wish to ask them how they hire and train new movers since these will be the people that will be actually be moving your belongings.
A bit of care and research will find you movers you can count on. While doing that research be sure to visit Kloke since we offer the most in depth experience you will find anywhere.

Okay, I'll try an experiment. I'm in the process of acquiring a new instrument (at least, new to me). When I get it, I'll measure it up along with my Miraphone 186. We'll call the 186 the "standard" BBb 4/4 tuba. I'll even measure up my two F tubas and see how they compared.
Measuring along the centerline of the tube should be fairly straightforward. Just run a measuring tape (the cloth tape used by tailors would be easier to work with) along the highest surface while the horn is laying down. And I'd imagine that oval tubes would not change the answer significantly. I'll measure circumference when I do my experiment instead of diameter, which will weed out some ovalness.
I'll supplement my experiment by measuring one horn three times, to assess the measurement variability. Remember that we are trying to measure for categorizing a horn into one of four categories (3/4, 4/4, 5/4, or 6/4). Two significant figures are at the high end of reportable accuracy.
There's a good scam in all this. I'll offer to measure, as an independent "lab", the volumes of all tubas. All the manufacturers have to do is, ah, supply me with a test instrument. I figure that each measurement will take, um, about a year. Maybe longer.

On top of the $8.5 trillion dollars the U.S. Federal Government has obligated itself to spend in the foreseeable future, now the Fed has also committed to spending another $300 billion to buy long-term Treasuries over the next 12 months. That's $300 billion. That's just under one-third of a trillion dollars. And where will the Fed get this money?
The pundits would have you believe that taxation is the only option to raise this vast sum of capital, but the reality of the situation is that unless these pundits are utterly incapable of doing basic arithmetic – which they aren't -- they are simply trying to scare you. And perhaps rightly so, because there is only one way the U.S. government can fund $8.8 trillion in spending, and taxation is only a small part of the "solution."
To illustrate the mathematics of what I'm talking about consider this: there are about 304 million people in the United States, which means that the government would have to extract $29,000 in tax revenue from every man, woman, and child to come up with such a staggering sum of money. Even if the government didn't spend one dime beyond the $8.8 trillion, and taxed everyone at the same rate, it would still have to extract $29,000 from every human being in the U.S. in order to cover the debt it is creating.
As an aside, I had to perform these calculations in a spreadsheet, because my BA II Plus wouldn't allow me enter that many zeroes. And I still made a mistake, which a reader promptly pointed out. These numbers are hard to understand, much less work with, and that's what makes this so terrifying.
Over the years, I have collected a fairly impressive collection of skeptics, adversaries, and opponents who delight in criticizing my "radical" theories, and I'm sure that contingency will be out in droves to respond to this article. But before you naysayers get to firing on all eight cylinders – wearing the letters off your keyboards with furious strokes of merciless rebuttal -- I'm anxious for you to consider the cold, hard math I've just laid in your lap. Consider that a large portion of those citizens are retired, or children, or people otherwise incapable of or disallowed from working, and that $29,000 per person starts to get bigger very fast. How on earth can the U.S. government hope to squeeze that much money out of its citizenry?
Of course, the question is rhetorical, and since this is my article, I'll just go ahead and answer it. The U.S. government plans to "deal" with this unprecedented load of debt through the inflationary destruction of the U.S. dollar. It cannot tax enough to service the debt, so it will print the money.
But there's a part of the equation that leaves me scratching my head and chuckling a little, in a wry, disturbed fashion -- sort of like the way I chuckle when I see a dog chasing its own tail – and it's this: the United States government will print all of this money, and then it will turn around and loan that money to itself. That would be like me taking a paycheck, having a lawyer draw up loan documents, signing the check over to myself, and making monthly payments back to me. Now why would I do something like that? Absurd.
Perhaps the most troubling aspect to the whole sordid mess, however, is something I've brought up before: Chinese and Japanese people are not stupid. They know the U.S. cannot hope to suck $29,000 out of each and every warm body within its reach and domain without creating massive inflation. So, yet again, I pose this question: why would the Chinese, the Japanese, or anyone else for that matter, continue to lend massive amounts of money to the U.S. government, at absurdly low rates, if the only possible outcome is steep inflationary price increases and interest rate explosions?
The simplest answer is usually the best answer. They won't. Unemployment will continue to rise, the American consumer will continue to falter, credit card defaults will race skyward, and the Fed will print insane amounts of cash. Foreign governments will get wise to the situation and stop lending, and the Fed will face rapidly rising prices while trying to keep interest rates low. But how will it attract capital if it doesn't increase yields? Oh the conundrum…
For my part, I predicted the Fed would finally buy the long-end of the yield curve – although I didn't think it would be this aggressive. Nonetheless, I lightened my short position in Treasuries significantly at the end of January. I believe the herd will follow Treasuries higher for a while, but sometime in the next 3 to 6 months, shorting Treasuries is again going to continue to be the position of the century.
The other day, I was watching CNBC's Smart Money, during which several of the network's elite pondered the "mystery" of gold's advance in tandem with stocks. They batted the question around like a beach ball for a minute or two before there was a pronounced silence. Then one of them tentatively said, "Could it be because people are scared that inflation is coming back?"
Do you think?

Corporate Responsibility
"Our business is to protect people over the long term. In this business, trust and solid relationships are paramount. Corporate Responsibility is the demonstration, step by step, day by day, that, through our actions, we deserve the trust of our stakeholders. We want Corporate Responsibility to be part of AXA's fundamentals. We want to make it a reality for all our stakeholders, not just a concept.
This means designing reliable solutions to meet the needs of our customers, managing risks in a professional way, treating our partners fairly, developing a work environment built on strong values, inclusion, and trust. We also believe that we have a role to play in protecting the environment, supporting the communities in which we operate, and more broadly in helping to create stronger and more sustainable societies. This is part of creating a sustainable, long-term business, and becoming the preferred company for our customers, employees, and other stakeholders.
The financial crisis has created a lot of distrust but has also confirmed the need for robust and responsible companies. I believe that it is important now to re-emphasize how Corporate Responsibility is an integral part of how we want to operate. This is already a commitment we are proving every day at AXA, and I am expecting the Group to move even further by integrating responsibility into all of our daily actions, each employee contributing to building a truly responsible corporation."

Hey guys, I bought a 2002 Fuji Discovery 3 on craigslist for $220 and I was wondering what types of forks can fit on it? Are they the standard 1 1/8" or are they something else? It doesnt really state it on the sites I've seen them on. If they are, what are some nice forks that I could buy that is under $250 or so. If it is not worth the upgrade, should i just sell it and buy a different bike off craigslist?

Replace up to one half of the granulated sugar called for in any recipe with honey. With a little experimenting, honey can replace all of the sugar in some recipes.
Reduce the liquid called for in the recipe by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used.
Add 1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey used in baking goods.
Reduce oven temperature by 25° to prevent over-browning when honey is added.

The man has done his time in jail. Now let's see if he can become a better man after this event. That so many people think he should be denied a second chance because of this confounds me. There are players in the NFL who were out of the game for much shorter times(some not at all) who were complicit in events where people died yet they did not get this level of outrage from the public. That just makes me wonder what is wrong with society where innocent people getting killed is less reviled than dogs getting killed. I love my dogs but they are dogs and I do not think they should be placed on the same level as people.
So because he did a little time, this relieves him of any guilt and the crime went away and the animals came back to life? NOT! Quit making excuses for the scum. Life , all life is precious. Did the dogs wake up one day and decide today is a good day to die so Vick can get his jollies? Again NOT!

Editorial Reviews
The announcement for AotYRZ explained that this was an "attempt to win on the first play" game, an unusual effect for IF. [...] Fortunately, the design of AotYRZ does support that kind of play. There are no puzzles you need to solve by repeated tinkering. The absence of EXAMINE actually helps here, since in any given situation you know you've seen everything you need to see; there's no chance that you've failed to look at an object that carries a critical clue. Even the puzzles I missed were, in retrospect, completely fair.

I have seen people complain that yeti robot zombies cannot exist, because a robot cannot be a zombie. These people were surely joking, since nobody could have missed the over-the-top action movie and shooter game cliche's that pervade Attack of the Yeti Robot Zombies. This is a game that does not take itself seriously. The highly secret base of the evil boss turns out to be a huge skycraper in the middle of a big city, adorned with inverted neon crosses and a statue of a yeti robot zombie.
Attack of the Yeti Robot Zombies is a 'win on the first attempt' game: you are asked not to save/restore, but to try to finish the game on the first attempt. Since (a) the game is quite short, and (b) the game is not too difficult, this doesn't pose any real problems, and it adds an interesting sense of danger. But save and restore are not disabled, so if you are a real wimp, you can use them.
So what do you do, as player? Well, you walk along the linear path set out for you, getting rid of zombies and cultists as well as you can, and finally reach the end. You will probably be tempted to restart at that point and try to find better solutions, because the game is both funny and short.
This is not a 'good' game. There is no storyline to speak of; there is no depth; no character interaction; nothing that makes it stand out. Attack of the Yeti Robot Zombies is an enjoyable snack, and the 'win on the first attempt' clause is a great idea for a game like this. Play it for the quick fun it will give you.
The obvious lack of revision did, however cause the story to be less than what it could have been. The story especially suffered because no examine/search had been implemented. Sure, you could complete the story, but the lack of 'examine' hurt the story's character.
The other main issue i had with the game was that the combat was too easy. It's tagged as a puzzle shooter, but there were no puzzles involved (like backup etc.) which affected the difficulty of the combat. It was just 'shoot yeti' and it died. The puzzle combat could possibly refer to the end boss, but even so, I was expecting a little more puzzle.
So if you're looking for a simple game, with a weak plot and characters, but rather funny, this is a good game for you. I would recommend to at least give it a try.
If you enjoyed Attack of the Yeti Robot Zombies...

Please check the size chart has printed out to the correct size by measuring the scale at the bottom of the chart, this must measure 10cm otherwise the indicated size may not be accurate.
Please fold the paper along the dotted line and place the chart on a hard surface against an immovable vertical surface such as a skirting board to help gain an accurate measure.
Place the left foot on the chart and record the length of the foot (e.g. 2¼) repeat for the right foot (e.g. 2½).
Based on these results a size 3 would be selected. As most people's feet are not the same size the size of shoe is determined by the largest foot.
Children will also need some growing room so if the fitting indicates either foot is longer than the full size it may be beneficial to order the next size up.

College Partnership Laboratory Schools
College partnership laboratory schools are public schools established by contract between the governing board of a college partnership laboratory school and the Board of Education. Legislation proposed by Governor Robert F. McDonnell and approved by the 2010 General Assembly (HB 1389 and SB 736) and the 2012 General Assembly (HB 577) allows any public or private institution of higher education in the commonwealth with an approved teacher-preparation program to establish a college partnership laboratory school.
Laboratory School Planning Grants
Public or private colleges and universities in Virginia with approved teacher education programs are eligible to apply for second-round Virginia College Partnership Laboratory School Planning Grants. Applications and proposals must be mailed or delivered no later than November 30, 2012, to the secretary of education at the following address:
Secretary of Education Laura W. Fornash
Office of the Governor
Patrick Henry Building
1111 East Broad Street
Richmond, VA 23219
In addition, a copy of the application and proposal must be submitted by email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Decisions about award amounts will take into consideration a number of factors including the amount of available funds, the number of applications recommended for funding, and the amounts requested in the recommended applications. If the total amount requested in the applications recommended for funding exceeds the total amount of available funding, awards will be adjusted to accommodate the difference.
The grant period for the 2012-2013 Virginia College Partnership Laboratory School Application Planning Grants will be from February 1, 2013, to June 15, 2013.
- News Release, August 30, 2012– Governor McDonnell Announces 2nd Round of Virginia College Partnership Laboratory School Planning Grants
- News Release, April 30, 2012 – Governor McDonnell Announces Virginia College Partnership Laboratory School Planning Grant Awards
- News Release, November 3, 2011 – Governor McDonnell Announces Virginia College Partnership Laboratory School Planning Grant Application.
Laboratory School Application
The Board of Education has developed procedures for receiving, reviewing and ruling on applications to create laboratory schools. A college partnership laboratory school may be established to:
- Stimulate innovative programs in preschool through grade 12;
- Provide opportunities for innovation in instruction and assessment;
- Provide teachers with an avenue for delivering innovative instruction and school scheduling, management and structure;
- Encourage performance-based educational programs;
- Establish high standards for both teachers and administrators;
- Encourage greater collaboration between pre-kindergarten and postsecondary program providers; and
- Develop model programs.
Application Documents:
- A description of the Virginia College Partnership Laboratory School Application Process (Word)
- Virginia College Partnership Laboratory School Application (Word) – The application must be submitted to the Board of Education.
- Criteria Checklist for Virginia College Partnership Laboratory School Applications (Word)
College partnership laboratory schools' enrollment is open to any school-age student who is a Virginia resident on a lottery, space-available basis. A college partnership laboratory school may not charge tuition for courses required for high school graduation. However, tuition may be charged for courses for which the student receives college credit and for enrichment courses that are not required to earn a Board of Education approved high school diploma.
Governance & Standards
Management of a laboratory school is the responsibility of the governing board established by the partnering institution of higher learning. An approved college partnership laboratory school is designated as a local education agency, but does not constitute a school division. A college partnership laboratory school shall be subject to all federal and state laws and regulations and constitutional provisions prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability, race, creed, color, gender, national origin, religion, ancestry, or need for special education services.
Like all public schools in the commonwealth, college laboratory schools are subject to the Standards of Learning, Standards of Accreditation and Standards of Quality. An educational program provided to students enrolled in a public school division pursuant to a collaborative partnership between the college partnership laboratory school and the public school division is considered to be the educational program of the public school division for purposes of the Standards of Accreditation. Teachers must be licensed by the Board of Education or, in the case of instructors in teacher-preparation programs, be eligible for a Virginia teaching license.
Board of Education College Partnership Laboratory School Committee
The Board of Education established this committee to develop procedures for receiving, reviewing and ruling on applications from Virginia public colleges and universities to establish laboratory schools. The committee also is charged with developing criteria for disbursements from the College Partnership Laboratory School Fund.
College Partnership Laboratory School Fund
House Bill 1389 and Senate Bill 736 (2010 General Assembly) also created a College Partnership Laboratory School Fund for the purposes of establishing or supporting laboratory schools. This special non reverting fund includes appropriations by the General Assembly and gifts, bequests or donations. The fund retains its own interest and balances and is not subject to reversion to the General Fund.

During February and March, embroidery artist Aubrey Longley-Cook will lead a 4-week cross stitch workshop hosted by WonderRoot and Barbara Archer Gallery. Participants will learn the basics of cross stitch embroidery, while working together to create an embroidered animation of RuPaul from footage of "Supermodel," a song and video that RuPaul released in 1992. Along with an introduction to the basics of cross stitch and contemporary embroidery, the workshop will include guest drag appearances, screenings of experimental animations, and discussions of web art and GIF culture.
Each participant will be assigned an individual template based on footage from the video and will be responsible for the creation of one of the cross stitch frames. The group will work together to choose a color palette for the frames. The embroideries will animate and loop when composited together. There will be two animations created from the project. One will document the front view of the frames and one of the back.
The frames along with the animations will be displayed as part of Longley-Cook's upcoming show Serving Face. The embroideries will be framed for the show, and all participating artists will be credited for their work. The frames will be returned to the participants after the show.
Workshop Hours: February 20th, February 27th, March 6th, and March 13th from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
All materials will be provided. No cross stitch experience required. Register here.
This project is supported in part through an investment from Idea Capital, a community-based pool of funds created by and for the Atlanta arts community.

Hindsights, Vol. 10 (I Think)
Joey is dead right now - at least that's what he tells me - so here is content from not Joey for you to chew on.
What about center field?
Obviously, a Josh Hamilton replacement does not exist and it would be silly to expect the Rangers to succeed in -- or even attempt -- replacing Hamilton with a close approximation of him. Things are going to be much different and in my mind, how the Rangers decide to fill the void in center field will dictate, more than anything else, how the roster shapes up and what other moves must be made to give the lineup an adequate balance of defensive prowess and offensive punch.
They could stay in house and go with a budget-friendly platoon of Craig Gentry and Leonys Martin (who hit .394 with a 1.141 OPS against RHP for Round Rock in 2012). Among the downsides to going in this direction is that the duo would almost certainly spend the season hitting at the bottom of the order and leave Ron Washington free to continue to pencil Ian Kinsler into the leadoff spot all year, which he indicated he has every intention of doing in 2013 during this week's disturbing post-mortem. I'll come back to this issue later.
Michael Bourn (30 years old), B.J. Upton (28), Torii Hunter (37), Shane Victorino (32) and Angel Pagan (31) are available on the free agent market while there is word that Jacoby Ellsbury (29) and Dexter Fowler (26) could be available in trade as Boston looks to overhaul their roster and Colorado is willing to part with their emerging star for starting pitching.
Going with Hunter, Victorino or Pagan would be a band aid and if you see the Rangers go with any of those three, you can be sure that they are convinced that Leonys Martin is a failed bit.
Fowler is an extremely toolsy guy who enjoyed a breakout season at age 26, but his defensive metrics are horrifying and Colorado has let it be known that he might could be had for reliable young pitching. Homer-prone Derek Holland is not likely to appeal to the Rockies and the ask will almost certainly be Matt Harrison and more (Leonys Martin and god knows what else). In spite of Fowler's enticing offensive possibilities, the cost of acquiring him and the liabilities he would present defensively would probably not make for a net gain.
If you set aside the fact that B.J. Upton's name is B.J. Upton, there really isn't much to like about him on paper. At age 28, Upton has regressed defensively every season of his six-year big league career and he appears to suffer from many of the same hacktastic tendencies at the plate that plagued the Rangers in 2012. While he has maintained impressive power numbers, he has done so, as Jeff Sullivan explains, while hacking away early and often. You'd like to think that you'd be buying low on him after his .246 / .298 / .454 season, but it just feels like there are plenty of people who continue to place an imaginary added value on Upton because he is B.J. Upton, which will cause him to cost a great deal more than he can be reasonably projected to be worth.
Michael Bourn was arguably the best defensive player in baseball in 2012 and acquiring him would bring the added value of forcing Ron Washington to remove Ian Kinsler from the leadoff spot but Bourn is now 30 years old and virtually 100% of his value is predicated on speed. There is zero reason to believe that Bourn will be able to reinvent himself as a hitter going forward by adding more power to offset what is likely to be a decline in his ability to run and as he enters his early 30's, you might see a career arc that looks like this.
Jacoby Ellsbury followed up a 2011 season at age 27 where he probably deserved to be the AL MVP with a train wreck of a 2012 season that began with a shoulder injury that caused him to miss three months and then basically went downhill from there. This is not the first time that Ellsbury has missed significant time because of injury and he will be a free agent after the 2013 season and his agent is you know who, so he'd be a one-and-done guy. Boston is known to have interest in Derek Holland and a discussion between Ben Cherington and Jon Daniels about Ellsbury and Holland could (almost certainly would) grow into something much different.
Breaking #Leadership Analysis:
If your value is predicated on the theory that your leadership is the only thing holding the clubhouse together and your absence would cause the room to turn into something that looks like this, and then the room falls apart anyway after you held the lineup hostage for four months, forcing them to drag you around like an anchor and slowly but surely sapping the life force out of the lineup, then you don't have any value.
I have argued with friends that there are only three players in the Rangers organization eligible to be traded (and not currently injured, such as Colby or Nefti) who will not, under any circumstances, be traded this winter: Jurickson Profar, Yu Darvish and Michael Young.
The first two are obvious and third is simply because Michael Young drags around the most untradable contract in baseball. Even if the Rangers eat $10 million or so of the $16 million owed to Young next season, I can't identify the GM who has both the job security and complete lack of sense to trade for a guy who is now a bench bat against LOOGYs yet thinks he is entitled to 600 plate appearances a year.
Moreover, Young has complete veto power over any trade as a 10 & 5 guy, and even he has to know that this is the only place where he can bully himself into the lineup five times a week. It would be helpful if the Rangers let Young know that his pursuit of 3000 hits (I know...but you know that HE thinks he can get there) will take a serious hit by staying here in 2013, but 2012 told him just the opposite. No matter how bad he is or for how long he is bad, he is going to get his chances here becasue the manager is afraid to pull the plug on him.
The Elvis-Ian-Jurickson conundrum:
Even before the 2012 season, I was firmly on board with the notion that the time to trade Elvis Andrus would be prior to the 2013 season but now I have serious reservations. After a year in which there were so many regressions and very few performances that demonstrated a marked improvement, trading away the most improved everyday guy on the roster can't be a good thing psychologically for the organization.
Yes, I believe that Profar is ready to step in. No I don't agree with my friend Evan Grant's theory that the Rangers should break him in as a super utility guy. And no, I do not see moving Ian Kinsler to the outfield as a viable solution. A guy whose biggest problem seems to be a lack of concentration isn't likely to concentrate better standing around in left field waiting for something to happen at a position he has never played before.
For me, it comes down to this, more than anything else: can the Rangers sign Andrus to a long-term deal or spin him (plus more) into an ace?
Kershaw, King Felix, Weaver, Verlander and David Price are your aces in the game right now. Gio is close, Strasburg is close and Darvish is going to be one soon. Verlander, Weaver, Gio and Strasburg are obviously not available under any circumstances. I fully expect the Dodgers to dump whatever money they have left this winter to make sure Clayton Kershaw never wears another color than Dodger Blue.
That leaves King Felix and Price. There is no more precious commodity in baseball than an ace and to go into a season with the opportunity to have two of them in one rotation would certainly offset any damage done by the loss of Andrus, especially in light of what sits behind him.
Because it is all but certain that Andrus will hit the free agent market after the 2014 season, the market for him is probably limited to clubs for which Andrus would represent a sizable improvement at short, who aren't already married to someone at the position even if Andrus would represent a sizable improvement, and who realistically think that they are title contenders over the next two seasons. As far as I can tell, the two teams that fit the bill are St. Louis - who probably won't get a declining Rafael Furcal back next year as he rehabs after Tommy John surgery - and Tampa, which is rolling out shortstop Ben Zobrist, who they can plug in at any position on the field.
The best case scenario is probably landing David Price for Andrus, Martin Perez and another, lesser piece. Seattle claims that they have no intention of dealing Hernandez and St. Louis might lose Kyle Lohse in free agency, thus they will be very reluctant to deal a Lance Lynn or even young Shelby Miller, either of whom would be viable candidates in an Andrus deal and both of whom would certainly hold substaintial interest for the Rangers.
With respect to Kinsler, I can't help but think that trading him now would be selling low and given his profound home / road splits (.293 / .361 / .525 / .885 home vs. .220 / .290 / .321 / .611 road), it is highly unlikely that there is a GM out there that will be willing to take the risk that the home splits that keep Kinsler from being a sub-replacement level player will translate to any other home park. Carrying with him a contract through 2017 with an AAV of $15 million, the Rangers would likely be asked to send a reasonably substantial amount of cash along with him before anybody would give up a useful player for Kinsler and I don't see Texas paying Kinsler to dress for someone else or trading him away in what amounts to a salary dump.

Cake by CakeHatteras | posted 607 days ago | 1137 views | 0 times favorited | 1 comment |
I love being able to give nice wedding gifts to my good friends. This was a gift for my friend who got married today. And yes, look in the background, I live here! (I took these photos myself, easy when you have such a beautiful place to photograph!) The background is a picture of Pamlico Sound, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Many people are choosing the Outer Banks for destination weddings.
Okay, about the cake: It's all vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream with white chocolate and chocolate seashells. This morning at the last minute, I decided the top two tiers needed some Teal and Orange to match the rest of the wedding so I made about 100 of the tiny flowers. (fondant and gum paste mix) I love the wedding topper my friend chose for her cake and it all pulls together. She found the wedding topper online and had them custom painted to match her and her new husband.
Thanks for looking!

Dear Darla,
I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You're scummmm between my toes!
Love, Alfalfa
I watched this movie at least 10 billion times growing up. My brother and I were a little obsessed. All I wanted in life was my own derby car, preferably just like The Blur, and an awesome club house where I could hang out with other She-Women Men Haters (as opposed to He-Man Women Haters of course).
I watched this movie twice in recent memory. Is that sad? I'm 25 years-old.
Once was with my little nephew. But the other time….yeah. It wasn't alone in my room on a Friday night. I swear.
Double Bean Burgers
Adapted from How Sweet it Is. Serves 6.
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 large egg + 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 slice of gluten free bread, toasted and chopped finely
1 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1. In a large bowl, mash beans with a potato masher or spoonula. I did not have a potato masher, and the spoonula worked great.
2. Add in garlic, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper, mixing to combine.
3. In a smaller bowl, lightly beat eggs and add in 1 tbsp olive oil and GF breadcrumbs, stirring to mix.
4. Add the egg mixture to the beans, and mix thoroughly to combine, bringing it together with your hands if needed. Separate the beans into 6 equal sections and form patties. I am saving a couple in the fridge, and freezing the rest. I'll let you know how well they freeze!
5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add burgers and cook on each side until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove and serve with avocado cream!
Avocado Basil Cream
Adapted from How Sweet it Is. Serves 6.
1 container (6 oz) of plain, Greek yogurt
1 avocado, chopped
10 medium basil leaves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch of pepper
1. Add basil and avocado to a food processor, blending to combine.
2. Once somewhat smooth, add in Greek yogurt and blend again until combined.
3. Add in salt and pepper, taste, and season more if desired.
The double bean burger is what my dad would call a "no-brainer". It's full of flavor, packed with healthy fiber and protein, and comes together pretty quickly. Bonus: it's made with ingredients that I'm sure many of you have sitting in your pantry right now. Why wouldn't you make these?
And then, the avocado basil cream. This takes the burger to a whole new level. The combination of avocado and basil is unexpected, but wow. Fantastic flavor. I highly recommend spreading a healthy smear of this on an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. Beyond delicious, I'm obsessed.

Sorry about that, China . . .
"BEIJING (AP) -- Shares in China's banks fell sharply Monday after news reports said its No. 2 lender, Bank of China, might write down holdings of U.S. mortgage securities and two others increased reserves for possible losses.
The reports were the first indication that Chinese lenders, which have so far avoided damage from the U.S. credit crisis, might face problems due to their holdings of subprime securities".

Ten more European national football associations have joined the UEFA Convention on Referee Education and Organisation.
The associations of Belarus, Cyprus, Estonia, Italy, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Serbia, Turkey and Wales signed the convention at a ceremony during UEFA's Congress events in Tel Aviv, Israel, last week. A total of 30 associations are now members of the convention, and the remaining 23 UEFA constituent FAs are all part of the admission process for the future.
The aims of the UEFA Referee Convention include enhancing referee education, promoting the role of the referee, and improving refereeing structures and development within the European associations. "The convention is a tool, which is used to help raise standards and bring the associations into line with the benchmark set by UEFA," said UEFA technical director Andy Roxburgh.
By signing the convention, associations agree to a development plan for refereeing and become entitled to receive a financial contribution for their work, and further annual payments as long as the required standards are maintained.

by Staff Writers Paris (AFP) Jan 11, 2012 The Milky Way is home to far more planets than previously thought, boosting the odds that at least one of them may harbour life, according to a study released Wednesday. Not long ago, astronomers counted the number of "exoplanets" detected outside our own solar system in the teens, then in the hundreds. Today the tally stands at just over 700. But the new study, published in Nature, provides evidence that there are more planets than stars in our own stellar neighbourhood. "We used to think that Earth might be unique in our galaxy," said Daniel Kubas, a professor at Institute of Astrophysics in Paris, and co-leader of the study. "Now it seems that there are literally billions of planets with masses similar to Earth orbiting stars in the Milky Way." Two methods have dominated the hunt over the last two decades for exoplanets too distant and feint to perceive directly. One measures the effect of a planet's gravitational pull on its host star, while the other detects a slight dimming of the star as the orbiting planet passes in front of it. Both of these techniques are better at finding planets that are massive in size, close to their stars, or both, leaving large "blind spots". An international team of astronomers led by Kubas and colleague Arnaud Cassan used a different method called gravitational microlensing, which looks at how the combined gravitational fields of a host star and the planet itself act like a lens, magnifying the light of another star in the background. If the star that acts as a lens has a planet, the orbiting sphere will appear to slightly brighten the background star. One advantage of microlensing compared to other methods is that it can detect smaller planets closer in size to our own, and further from their hot-burning stars. The survey picked up on planets between 75 million and 1.5 billion kilometres from their stars -- a range equivalent in the Solar System to Venus at one end and Saturn at the other -- and with masses at least five times greater than Earth. Over six years, the team surveyed millions of stars with a round-the-world network of telescopes located in the southern hemisphere, from Australia to South Africa to Chile. Besides finding three new exoplanets themselves -- no minor feat -- they calculated that there are, on average, 1.6 planets in the Milky Way for every star, Cassan told AFP. Whether this may be true in other galaxies is unknown. "Remarkably, these data show that planets are more common than stars in our galaxy -- they are the rule rather than the exception," Cassan said. "We also found lighter planets ... would be more common than heavier ones." One in six of the stars studied was calculated to host a planet similar in mass to Jupiter, half had planets closer in mass to Neptune, and nearly two-thirds had so-called super-Earths up to 10 times the mass of the rock we call home. Another study published the same day in Nature, meanwhile, showed that planets simultaneously orbiting two stars -- known as circumbinary planet systems -- are also far more common that once supposed. There are probably millions of planets with two suns, concluded the study, led by William Welsh of San Diego State University in California.

Ask me anything
As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. No reality fits an ideology. Life is beyond that. … That is why people are always searching for a meaning to life… Meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning. Life only makes sense when you perceive it as mystery and it makes no sense to the conceptualizing mind.

AGR steering box
In an effort to improve the handling of my 69 I wanted to upgrade the steering box to a higher effort, faster ratio unit and do the 3rd gen swap well documented on this forum. Instead of taking a chance of getting a real fast ratio reman from the local auto parts store, I decided to go ahead and part with the dough to get the "right" one from AGR. I called AGR to see what they had to offer and/or suggest for my application. I was so impressed with the time and knowledge the person I talked to was willing to share that I decided to have them build me a box with a 12:1 ratio and a 220 torsion bar, a little higher effort than the one off the shelf. It would cost a little more and take a little longer but what the heck. I'd already done a complete Hotchkis TVS package (with upper and lower control arms) and replaced the tie rod ends, pittman, idler and it still didn't feel right. So, I was willing to go a little further to try to make it better.
Four weeks and several phone calls later I finally get the box from AGR. At this point I've lost a little enthusiasm and have started to question my decision but sometimes these things happen. Then I notice that the top cover is not billet like it was supposed to be but the stock steel piece. So I called and they would send it to me ( I was not about to send it back ) and I could install and adjust the preload. One week later it hadn't come, I call and it hadn't been sent yet, somebody screwed up, sorry. Can you overnight it this is getting rediculous OK. Finally get it and the box together and install it. Feels a lot better but maybe to much effort. oh well. After several attempts am able to tighten lines enough so they don't leak. Didn't realize thier box retained the metric threads and came with inserts. Replaced the reman pump with AGR 1500 psi HD pump and steering effort is greatly improved. Apparently the reman wasn't putting out enough flow or pressure. Now the car is driving better than ever and I'm really happy with how it feels. Imagine my chagrin as I was looking for leaks after replacing the pump ( nothing at the pump ) and find that the input shaft seal on the box is leaking. Can't believe it, there is nothing I hate more than a leak. So now I'm going to have to pull the box after finally getting it sorted out and replace that seal. Sorry to go on and on, I'm not bashing just relaying my experience for whatever thats worth. That leak just got me fired up.
And this too shall pass. |

Re: AGR steering box
The seal is easy to replace, just unscrew the whole assembly. There are two sizes, early & late.

Re: AGR steering box
Thanks David, that sounds encouraging. Couple things come to mind I would like to know first. Can that be done with the unit still in the car? I'm gonna be replacing the steering column anyways, maybe that would be a good time to repair the leak. Looks like there are two seals and an O-ring on the piece that unscrews. Is that right? Any suggestions as to where to get those seals? Any particular brand gonna be better? I don't understand why this leaks when its just been rebuilt. Wonder if the shaft or housing is damaged. Will I need a special tool to unscrew that piece? This is a 3rd gen box I believe so would that be considered late? Any input you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
And this too shall pass. |
Re: AGR steering box
So, it looks like I will need to remove the adjuster plug and replace the dust seal, oil seal and o-ring. Wonder if it can be done on the car. Will I need to count the turns when removing the plug or just screw it in untill the shaft starts to bind and back it off a little? Probably be easier to do with it on the bench. Wonder if I can pull it without disconnecting the line from the box as I just got them to not leak. Been looking for threads and found some mention of the procedure but no particulars. Will keep looking. Thanks
And this too shall pass. |

June 2011: Dear Grapevine
From the June 2011 Grapevine Magazine
"I try to share that the meeting might save a life."
Message or mess?
Do I carry the message or the mess? I don't know. I like to think I carry the message. I hear a lot at meetings, at breaks—we have breaks at meetings in district 47 in Area 59, in PA. What I hear is people putting down other meetings in our district, that they don't understand or don't care for, or even never attend. I try to share that the meeting might save a life. But am I the messenger?

New trial date for man charged with unlawful wounding |
Christopher Thomas, STAR Writer WESTERN BUREAU: The ongoing quarrel between an Amity Hall, St James, man and his daughter's boyfriend continued in court on Wednesday with the revelation that the son-in-law recently attacked his girlfriend's father. Darron Brown, who was initially the complainant in an unlawful wounding case against Chester Montague in June, was brought before the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court for allegedly wounding his attacker. However, the details of the new allegations were not given in court. "What is the complainant to you?" Resident Magistrate Natalie Hart-Hines asked Brown about Montague. "Well, you can say me 'deh' (in a relationship) wid him daughter," Brown replied. "The two of you have to keep the peace, so if you see him, you walk away," Hart-Hines reasoned. "Well, I live on a next street from him," said Brown. "Even if you live on the next street, you are still too close to him," the RM told him. Montague, who was absent from court, was previously on $200,000 bail for allegedly stabbing Brown in the back of the neck on December 15, 2011. It is said that Brown had intervened in a dispute between Montague and his daughter at a shop in the Guilsbro area in Amity Hall. That matter is scheduled to return to court on November 7. "He (Montague) is the one telling lies and he's not showing up," argued Brown. "The officer would not have arrested you without seeing some kind of injury or medical certificate," RM Hart-Hines countered. Brown's matter was subsequently set for mention on September 26. |

Process Costing:Normal Loss & Its Treatment(Part4)
Accounting For Losses | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In process costing, we can often found the output from a process is less than the input. Where the output from a process is less than the input, there is therefore a loss. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Basically there are two types of losses in Process Costing:
Normal Loss | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
· Normal loss is unavoidable losses arising due to the nature of the material or the process
Treatment of Normal Loss are as follows:
ILLUSTRATION ofNormal LossFor Company A which manufactured drink, the production manager usually experiences a 10% loss of direct materials in the production process. In August '07 the details/data are as follows:
Required: (a) compute the number of litre lost in the process; (b) compute the cost per litre of drink produced; (c) write up the process cost account Solution: (a) The number of litres lost in the process: =Total direct materials x % loss=2,000 x 10%=200 (b) The cost per litre of drink is computed as follows: =Total Cost/Total output =$47,000/1,800 litres =$26.11 per litre Notes: Total Cost=(Sum of direct costs plus overheads) Total Output=2,000litre x (100-10%) =1,800 litres © Process Cost Account as follows:
