Kadai Chicken is one of the recipes that is probably available in every restaurant in India and in the US. And that is where my food memory for this dish originated. We never made it at home, always ordering it outside.
After eating it innumerable times at various places, I was ready to make it at home. And when I picked some organic chicken from the farmer's market, the time was right. It's fairly easy to make, I found some recipes with less gravy, but since I like my chicken curry, it has a thicker gravy. The marinated chicken was soft and succulent, the overall flavor fragrant and delicious. We enjoyed ours with some naan and a cucumber, onion salad.
I am getting ready to order another chicken at farmer's market and it will be chicken tikka masala the next time.
1.5 lbs Chicken
2 medium onions - finely chopped
2-3 tomatoes - finely chopped
1 medium green pepper- finely chopped
1 green chilli - slit
1 dry red chilli
1 1/2 tbsp Yogurt
1 1/2 tspoon Ginger-Garlic paste
1 tspoon cumin seeds
1" cinnamon stick
2-3 cloves
2 green cardamoms
1/2 tspoon turmeric powder
1 tspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
1 tspoon coriander powder
2/3 tspoon garam masala powder
1 tspoon cumin powder
bunch cilantro - finely chopped for garnish
Salt to taste
2 tbspoon oil
Clean and marinate chicken with salt, and half of turmeric, chilli and garam masala powder. I usually marinate it for 4-5 hours and then lightly saute the chicken and set it aside.
In a deep pan, heat oil and temper it with cumin seeds, red chilli, green chilli, cinnamon, cloves and cardamons. Let it sputter. Then add the ginger garlic paste.
Add the onions and saute till the onion turns brown. Then add the tomatoes and green peppers and cook on closed lid till the tomatoes turn soft.
Add the chicken pieces along with the rest of the masalas - turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and cook for 15-20 minutes. Then add the yogurt, salt and let it cook for another 15-20 minutes till the chicken is cooked. Add 1/2 cup water if needed.
Garnish with cilantro and serve with naan or rice. This is my entry to Monthly Mingle: Bollywood Cooking hosted by Meeta at What's for Lunch, Honey? Thanks Meeta for hosting!

During our current contract one of the main issues that we encounter is confusion over the interpretation of KPI reporting and the consequences of any failings. We are currently negotiating the follow on contract so has anyone used the visual enhancements to their KPI sections ? Have you found that it has helped with understanding ? Also is it acceptable to only have the graphics in certain sections of the contract or does it have to be a blanket approach to all schedules ?
Thank you for your comment and yes there is signficant research and resounding evidence to confirm that visuals can support clarity and understanding in contracts - no matter which element of the contract. And yes we would deem it perfectly acceptable to have graphics in certain sections - not all. There are some elements of the contract that lend themselves to visualization more than others. There is a lot of material in our Resource Library on this topic and this particular piece of research should help you too:

Hi All,
I am a fresh member of the portal. Looking for some insights in regards to defining KPIs. We are a team of 3 Contract Managers and our manager has asked us to define KPIs and create a dashboard biweekly for her to have an insight of what we are doing. I believe the next step will be having score cards to measure the performances. I have been searching the web and thinking about this deeply for some time now. I was only able to come up with 3 KPIs but still need to define 1 more. And I am not sure if this has been answered before. Is there a document I can relate on to? Would appreciate any leading.
Thank you in advance.
• Fire and Emergency NZ • 2020-01-09 09:09:52
God day Sedef - well, again, I hate to see a good question like this sitting there all along unanswered, so here goes my contribution.
Firstly, if you get to create your own KPI's, I think that this is an awesome opportunity for you. It's a great opportunity for you to pick some criteria on which to have your performance judged by.
I think it's an opportunity though for you to think about whether or not you want these KPI's to relate to your performance alone, or contribute to or align directly with organisational performance. This could be a factor of where you feel you are as a team with procurement maturity, as well as your ability to influence the organisation's plans. Let me explain by way of example.
Four years ago, for our team, it was all about how quickly we could turn around tenders, time to contract, and the number of complaints (which thankfully were none) about the conduct of our tenders. So for us then, the KPI's were team focussed and didn't really track well into organisational plans.
Fast forward to the present day, the team has pushed back into the business to be engaging with them at a much earlier stage. The KPI's we are moving to are around developing category plans with the business and presenting them to the senior leadership team, monitoring and reporting on the significant contracts in their portfolio and working with the teams on meaningful social procurement outcomes that are relevant to their categories. As you can see, these are less about the team, and track really well into where we want to be as an organisation.
Oh, and like all KPI's, it perhaps goes without saying, but make sure that they're SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) or SMARTER (adding Explainable and Relative to the mix).
So Sedef, my advice would be to jump the opportunity to set your KPI's, and make them relevant to where you are and where you want to be. I think you are the best person to work that out, rather than me just telling you what you need based upon your one paragraph question.
Have fun with making them - and it would be great learning for others within the forum for you to tell everyone what you ended up with !
• Ngamuru Advisory • 2020-02-02 07:41:45
Hi Sedef,
Following on from Darren's excellent points, I wanted to find out how you went? Did you find the missing one? I started my Performance Based Contracting (PBC) journey in 2004 designing, implementing and managing performance measures (not just KPIs!). Over this time I have seen many, many performance measure that can be used depending on what you are trying to achieve. Indeed, over the years we have actually formed the opinion that there are more than simply KPIs, since most humans can only handle 3 - 5. Therefore, having dashboards of 20 it too much information. So while there are a number of websites that can give you a variety of performance measures, can I suggest you have a look at why you want to measure; what is the outcome you are trying to achieve? Is it the standard project ones (scope, schedule and cost), or are there other things such as the health of the relationship, the culture of safety, etc. And if you think you can't measure the last ones, you can! Just takes a bit more work to set-up. So best to work that out first.
To help, as an IACCM Fellow I write on blog where I write about this (www.performancebasedcontracting.com), which sometimes become articles for IACCM (part of the role of an IACCM Fellow). Therefore, I'd suggest you have a look here and see if this helps. There is probably a lot of content (all free!), but hopefully it helps.
Anyway, I hope this helps you on your journey. And don't be afraid to ask for help!

Hi All
Is there any standard in terms of stakeholder satisfaction in IACCM contract Management?
We have sent out surveys (which our stakeholders had input into regard the questions they wanted to score us on) We have received some great feedback and suggestions for improvements. Whilst I think a satisfaction score of 81% is very good, I have nothing to compare it with.
I know all survey are different in terms of the questions, but to put this result into some context it would be good to understand if any work has been done on what good looks like in terms of satisfaction scores in other companies?
I would love to hear any views people are happy to share, as my Director would like to share these results with our board but unless we can put them into context in terms of best practice, they are just a score which doesn't tell the wider audience that much without the wider context!
Kind Regards
Hi Jan,
Interesting question. I commend you on your efforts to assess CCM performance. As you say, to take your analysis further forward, you need to be able to compare against some form of industry or sector-wide benchmark. Within the IACCM, we have a deep set of benchmark data - collected over many years across multiple sectors. There are two major sources: 1) the IACCM Capability Maturity Assessment (which looks at organizational efficiency with objective insights into today's performance, comparisons to the outside world and a realistic assessment of the business impact); and 2) the Skills and Competency Assessment (which considers unique benchmarks that support organizational development.) IACCM offers a confidential and objective analysis of current performance and compares your results against industry norms and world-class standards.
Key to making use of these benchmarks is the consistent application of a robust question set. This is what allows the application of an apples-to-apples comparison. I'm not saying that you would need to repeat the survey you have conducted, but I think you may find that some repeat work is necessary though.
Please message me at pbranch@
if you are interested in progressing this further. Paul

I work in a multi cultural environment. My company is truly a global player, and I manage a team spread out the Americas Region: USA, Canada and Latin America. This subject is very close to my heart, and I am a truly believer in the benefits of diversity and multi-cultural teams. The usual feedback of my team members is that they appreciate the multi cultural environment and the richness of interacting with people from different culture, languages, backgrounds. Cultural diversity can totally help a lot in creativity, team building and certainly results.

For Agreement between the Parties of differnet origin , the aurgument starts up on Jurisdiction and governing law for the AGreement. while both the Parties are interested in proposing law of their respective country to be made applicable to the AGreement, I want to know whether there is any list of prioritised or ranked Jurisdiction/ Govering law like World bank ranks each country a ranking for " ease in doing business" and almost 190 countrites are listed. For example, I propose indian law and other Party would prefer Laws of Singpore to be governing law. Can parties choose England and wales as nuetral or any other preferred law.
• 2019-08-30 18:01:18
In the US, Texas or New York are largely considered "neutral territory" whereas in Europe, until very recently UK law was considered neutral. I think that may change with the recent political upheaval.
• Ministry of Defence • 2019-10-04 08:50:59
Or try international trade law?
• Legal and Commercial Training Limited • 2019-11-05 09:40:02
In the case of one party proposing Indian law and the other proposing Singapore law, the parties may well choose the law of England and Wales as both Indian law and Singapore law are based upon English and Welsh common law. (Note that there is no such concept as "UK law" as one commentator has suggested below).
However, a party should consider a wide range of factors before proposing a particular governing law and should weigh up the legal and commercial advantages and disadvantages of all the options.
One factor may be the degree of certainty that a contract will be interpreted in a particular way. English law adheres to the doctrine of binding precedence. Some legal systems do not. This could lead to significant uncertainty as to how the law will be applied.
In English law, it may be perceived that the courts allow a greater degree of freedom of contract. Subject to certain exceptions, freedom of contract in English law means that commercial parties are completely free to make disastrous bargains. This illustrates the comparative reluctance of the English courts to interfere on policy or other grounds to rewrite the parties' contracts for them.
For example, in English law it is possible, provided very clear wording is used, to include an exclusion clause that excludes any and all liability whatsoever, even for a deliberate breach of contract. And there is still no recognition of a duty of good faith being applied generally to commercial agreements (but watch this space!). This may or may not be an advantage to you but it remains the case that the courts are likely to give effect to the wording of the contract without imposing their opinions as to what does or does not amount to good faith.
And you may wish to consider the approach of a particular legal system to particular clauses.
For example, in English law, a liquidated damages clause will be subject to the clarification set out recently by the Supreme Court with a subsequent judgment, applying that test, indicating that a freely-negotiated LD clause is likely to be upheld subject to the requirements set out by the Supreme Court. Under UAE law, such a provision would be subject to Article 390(2) of the Civil Code and either party may apply to the court to adjust the agreed amount of compensation so it is equal to the loss. If Indian law were to apply, we would have to consider the effect of section 74 of the Indian Contracts Act 1872.
English law will also recognise an asymmetric jurisdiction clause.
And it may be that the choice of law clause will be reflected in the choice of jurisdiction. So, English law and the English courts. If the choice of courts is to reflect the choice of law, it may well be the consideration should be given to the efficacy of the court system and the technical expertise and other qualities of the judges.
Lots to consider.

We are in the process to implement a Procurement, Contracts Management and Supplier Performance Management System by implementing four Oracle modules that will support our work processes (Sourcing, Procurement contracts, I Supplier portal and Supplier management). I am looking for advice/documents/tools/templates to design a balanced scorecard. Can you help?
Kia ora Hanelie. I'm surprised that you haven't received a response yet. Many of the contract automation software tools in the IACCM/Cap Gemini register on our website have dashboards which report operational contract management i.e. status of contract changes, service level performance, financials, risks etc. So to your Oracle tool? For example, the GovernX tool from ISG is now integrating into 360 degree surveys to also include 'the voice of the supplier', which would also be part of a balanced scorecard. I will reach out to you directly to discuss. Our member meeting in Wellington NZ on 18 July will also discuss this topic. Bruce

Effect terms and conditions have on the value of any given
In regards to commercial contracting what are the top 5 language terms and conditions that will effect the margin and or value of a deal?

Hello Brian. Your question is an interesting one as margin and value can be very different things, and will depend very much on the context of the SOW as Bruce Everett says. However as a supplier, i would say that you must be clear what you want to call success. For example, if you only what cost control, and that a supplier simply performs what you ask, then margin wording about delivering on time and budget are what you should focus on. If on the other hand you have a degree of execution uncertainty and/or want to encourage innovation, you should aim towards a relational contract framework, where you ring-fence and control additional costs, and build a mechanism to evaluate scope changes as a function of meeting your value targets. These could be risk mitigation, safety, or simply achieving a technically challenge project.
All too often we see people trying to get the best of both worlds..ie innovation at low or no scope change cost, and then ultimately failing to get either...hope this helps, Merrick
Hi Brian. Liability, indemnity etc are common terms which reflect the inherent deal risk or at least the desire for risk allocation. However, the rubber hits the road when you look at the Statement of Work (SOW) and Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The SOW is where the buyer/supplier either is fully informed about the requirements, roles/ accountabilities, and risks, hence, whether they have to factor in a contingency for risk (which is defined in ISO31000 at 'the effect of uncertainty on outcomes'). The more uncertainty then the more risk and the more contingency the supplier will typically build into the price. Then the SLAs typically attract 10-15% of contract value'service credits' for non-performance (the intent is to reflect the value of the margin). Depending upon how tough or unrealistic these are negotiated will also impact how much contingency the supplier will try to add in to the price. Trust this helps you Brian

Christian Hackenberg
Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg (14) celebrates with teammates after Penn State beat Michigan 43-40 during a game on Saturday night in University Park, Pa.
(AP Photo | GENE J. PUSKAR)
His career as a full-time starter now at six games, Christian Hackenberg's freshman season already has reached halftime.
Penn State's 18-year-old quarterback has had more good times than bad while leading the Nittany Lions to a 4-2 record heading into a second bye week at the halfway point. And they'll follow up a 43-40, four-overtime victory over previously undefeated Michigan with an Oct. 26 trip to No. 4 Ohio State.
"I think we were going to (carry momentum) either way," Hackenberg said. "We're really focused as a team. That's a testament to the coaching staff and how we attack each day at practice.
"(The bye week) is even better. We have a couple more days to prepare, get a good game plan and get ready to go to a hostile environment and play a really good football team. I think it's more of a bonus for us."
Penn State's bonus has been Hackenberg's rapid development. He leads the Big Ten with nearly 279 yards passing per game, a figure that is 21st in FBS. He engineered a drive against Michigan that covered 80 yards and five plays in just 50 seconds to send the game into overtime.
"I can tell you that obviously any time you win a game like that -- with a drive like that -- it helps your confidence," O'Brien said. "It helps you the next time with your confidence the next time something like that comes up. I'm sure it helps in his development."
It was enough to earn Hackenberg Big Ten freshman of the week honors for the third time this season, something he prefers to take in stride. Instead, he credits teammates for overall success.
"Watching the replay gave me a lot of things to learn from, and it gave me a different view on it, I guess you could say," Hackenberg said. "In the heat of the moment, I really didn't understand how everything transpired, but once I sat down it made me really proud of our team and how we responded as a whole."
Hackenberg has responded to much of what's been thrown at him, especially the speed of the game -- typically a trouble spot for freshmen.
"Speed is something I wanted to focus on and try to make it happen as soon as I could," he said. "I feel pretty comfortable now, but it's an ever-changing part of the game with me."
There will be speed aplenty in Hackenberg's next opponent. Ohio State is 6-0 and 2-0 in the league.
"I'm looking forward to Ohio State," Hackenberg said. "That's a first for me. A lot of guys have played in pretty hostile environments and I'm going to be leaning on them for tips and when to use certain cadences and stuff like that.
"I'm happy where I'm at right now. I just feel like there's always room for improving every aspect."

NWS: Two tornados hit Northwest Arkansas during Monday storms
The National Weather Service in Tulsa confirmed an EF-1 tornado touched down Monday in Northwest Arkansas east of Rogers in the Rocky branch area.
The National Weather Service also confirmed a tornado touched down in Siloam Springs. Benton County Emergency Manager Robert McGown said officials from the National Weather Service are surveying the damage in Siloam Springs Wednesday.
Officials have not given a rating to the tornado in Siloam Springs.
"Most of the structural damage that we saw was from trees falling on to houses; saw some out buildings with some damages," Benton County Emergency Management Agency Deputy Director Mike Dixon said, regarding the tornado near Rocky Branch.
Tim Perrin lives on 8120 K Cove Street in the Rocky branch area and said Monday they experienced heavy winds. Perrin said thankfully no one was hurt from Monday's storm. Perrin sent pictures to the National weather service and Benton county emergency managers of the damage after the storm.
"You see the pictures of Moore and that's so incredible yet you see Oak trees snap and you still have that appreciation that this was dangerous and likely the homes here we're well built," said Piltz.
National weather service meteorologists said the tornado packed winds between 75 and 85 miles per hour.
The National weather service will be in certain parts of Northwest Arkansas Thursday surveying the area.

I hope you are aware of our current giveaway running on Wise She.You can win some tempting Illamasqua goodies here.To know more

Hello everyone! My name is Vani, I am a 22 year old  from Kerala who is studying in Delhi now. I would like to tell all you beautiful people about my makeup journey. 🙂
Throughout my senior school days to about one year back, my definition of dressing up was putting on black Streetwear eye pencil on my eyes and some lotus lip balm in Raspberry. These two products used to make me feel all dressed up and ready to go! I then shifted to Coimbatore for my studies and used to do a winged liner every day, again with the street wear pencil. The pencil would smudge by the lunch break but I would just wash my face with a face wash and wipe off the smudges with a towel. Even this simple make up routine started to seem really over dressed among the girls of my class, as most of them liked to keep it simple and considered 'homely' as beautiful. Soon I started skipping my makeup routine once in a while and then it was stopped altogether. And a few years passed like this.
My best friend right from my school days, Vidya (Muah to Vidya), was studying in the same city but in a different college. Vidya used to pester me a lot over the years about the way I did not bother much about my looks. She is someone who never steps out without ironing her side bangs and doing up her eyes and face beautifully. I used to argue with her that makeup looked good on her because she had flawless skin and would look terrible on my blemished and acne prone skin.
One day in my final year of college, I had a sleepover in her hostel with her and was getting ready to go out. I got dressed, tied up my hair in a pony tail and was ready to go! I watched Vidya complete her makeup routine in flat five minutes and commented on the amount of makeup she uses! She gave me a scornful look and made me sit down and made my face her canvas. She first applied lacto calamine on my face, and then Lakme compact powder. She then dabbed on some brownish golden eye shadow on my eye lids with her fingers and topped it with a winged black eye liner. Then came the ultimate step, she dabbed some blush on the apples of cheeks. Well, that was too much! "Girls like me can't use blush, Vidya!!!â€, I told her. She just asked me to shut up and carried on with her work. She then took her straightening iron and pulled out my side bangs and straightened them. After this she asked me to look at the mirror and I was astounded. I looked so different, so good. I looked like one of 'those' girls who look so well turned out! And it all looked so natural and not at all over done. We then went out to meet a friend and I got lots of compliments from him, my spirits were soaring all day!
That is the effect a little makeup, a little care and effort, can do for your spirits. I got really hooked on after that day, I started reading beauty blogs online and buying makeup for myself. I started doing up my eyes and putting a bit of colour on my lips too. Thus began my makeup journey. I have now hoarded quite a lot of makeup, mainly eye and lip products and a few blushes <blush blush J>. Among these, my favourites and the ones I reach out to most often are:
- Faces eye pencil in solid black
- Faces eye pencil in gray, I use it along with black sometimes to create a smokey look
- Maybelline baby lips in Pink Lolita, even a little colour on the lips does so much for your  looks.
- Mac lipstick in See sheer, I love how it suits me well without making itself very obvious. I have only a lipstick sample which I bought from thebodyneeds2.com and want to buy the full sized one soon.
- Lakme Eyeconic mascara. If there is one one thing you want to do to enhance your looks, I would say use a mascara.
- Elle 18 lipstick in Rusty – I love it! It's one of my first lipsticks and it suits me so well! Please tell me of a colour dupe in another brand if you know about one.
I hope you all enjoyed reading about my makeup journey and please forgive me if it was a teeny weeny bit too long. Thanks a lot! Love you gals a lot and thank you for all those lovely reviews 🙂

My current production time is 2-3 weeks (not including weekends or holidays) plus shipping time. Thanks for supporting my shop!
This lace skirt is adorable and is a perfect unique photo prop for those sweet newborns! This lace is super soft and not stiff or itchy! It has an adjustable elastic waistband, and finished off with silky satin ribbon.
Skirts can be ordered with ruffle trim or rolled hem. They can also be ordered in various sizes so state size at checkout. If size is not specified, we will send newborn :)
Available in over 20 different colors!
These adorable skirts are handmade, by me, in the USA, in a smoke free home.
Thanks for stopping by :)
Estimated production time will begin from the day the item is purchased and the payment clears, not on the day the shop owner is contacted regarding the item to be purchased.
**If for any reason we cannot fulfill an order, Ruthie and Sage Reserves the right to refund and cancel an order at any time. General reasons we will cancel is: we have a question for customer and can't get customer to respond, we do't have correct fabric in, can't complete by desired date, etc. //
*After the standard 6-8 week production time (not including Holidays), orders are shipped First Class Parcel USPS. 2-5 business days inside the United States, and generally 7-10 business days for international orders. Please note, this is approximate! International orders could take longer if your item gets held up in customs, which unfortunately is beyond my control.
*Ruthie and Sage will do everything possible to aid with any issues which may arise with USPS packages. Please do realize, once USPS has a handle of your package, it is up to them as to when they get your package to you. Rest assured I care just as much as you do that your package gets to you in time, and will do all I can to ensure you get it at your desired date if it has been discussed.
Per Etsy Guidelines:
Who pays for customs fees?
Generally, buyers pay the additional costs such as duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees. Import charges can vary widely but are most commonly based on the price and type of item, package weight and dimensions, origin country, and the taxes, duties, and fees of the destination country.
Most sellers on Etsy are unable to predict which of these fees, if any, will be applied, and Etsy does not expect sellers to calculate or collect these fees or taxes. Customs fees are between the buyer and their own country. It is a way of a sellers country to collect taxes from their residents.
*Please message me BEFORE you order if you need a rush or priority shipping. I ship items in the order they were purchased. Business days are considered Monday-Friday, excluding all major Holidays.
** Ruthie and Sage will not guarantee exact shipping dates unless previously arranged with the shop owner. Current production times are estimates and can vary slightly depending on item purchased and material availability.
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
All of my items sold are individually handmade and take a great deal of time. I put a lot of passion and love into my work, so unless Ruthie and Sage has errored, there are NO REFUNDS on orders once purchased. Please message me if there is a problem and we will work it out together!! :)
I do not respond to emails sent to my personal email. It is important to me that I have a trail on Etsy's email program, therefore I only (and always!) respond to Etsy emails. If you send me a personal email, chances are it will go unread and not responded to.
Lace print on lace leggings and shirts may be a different pattern than what's pictured depending on availability of that color from the fabric vendor.
Color shades on all photographs may vary from screen to screen, as well as dye lot to dye lot. Heartstring Things will not deliberately or intentionally alter the colors or patterns of the items shown in the photographs.
Blanket sizes may vary (an inch or 2 on small blankets, 3-4" for bigger blankets) as well, depending on the seam allowance and what size was cut from my vendor.
Please note, I will not answer emails sent directly to my personal email address. The only emails that will be answered are those sent to Ruthie and Sage Etsy email.

Grafted Bone Can Function Like Natural Bone Tissue
Bone grafting can help replace missing teeth.
Using a biocompatible grafting material or tissue from another part of your body, bone grafting can repair a compromised smile and create a stable foundation for dental implants.
Bone grafting can protect your smile after tooth extraction.
After removing a tooth, the jawbone can deteriorate. By packing the tooth socket with grafting material, a bone graft can prevent tissue loss.
Treatment has a high success rate.
Studies have shown that dental implants placed in grafted tissue have similar success rates to implants placed in natural bone.

Architects for Amazon.com have submitted updated drawings for the company's proposed campus on the edge of downtown Seattle — showing for the first time how the company wants to use colorful exteriors to make its new towers stand out against the city's skyline and (let's face it) frequently gray skies.
The plans show the towers and adjacent buildings accented with colors including including green, red and yellow, with panels and fins giving the buildings different appearances depending on the angles from which they're viewed.
[Follow-up: Apple vs. Amazon: Whose new headquarters is cooler?]
Amazon's proposed campus would have three 37-story office towers and related buildings, connected via streetcar to the company's existing buildings in South Lake Union. Amazon's architects from NBBJ have told city officials that the company's is intent on "building a neighborhood, not a campus" — integrating its new project into the surrounding neighborhood.
The Seattle Times spotted the new drawings earlier today. See the full document here. Amazon's update was submitted in advance of a Sept. 25 meeting of the Downtown Design Review Board. Click on any image below to open a gallery of pictures.

Rodney's lengthy rest is bittersweet for Rays
BALTIMORE -- Fernando Rodney pitched in a non-save situation in Wednesday night's win over the Orioles, but he needed the work -- and the Rays needed the win.
The team's closer has not been used much this season because the Rays have not been in many save situations. During Spring Training, manager Joe Maddon expressed some concern about Rodney's work in the World Baseball Classic, where he recorded the final out in all eight of the Dominican Republic's wins en route to the Classic title. But lately the concerns of overuse have transitioned to concerns about rust.
"From the one side, he has not been overworked," Maddon said. "And from the other side, he had such a great edge coming out of the WBC, the concern was, 'How was he going to channel that? What was it going to be like?'"
"If you're from the Dominican Republic and you participated in a world championship and won it, that's pretty significant down there," Maddon added. "There is a lot of emotion that courses through people like him, as a player as well as the population there. So I didn't know how this would play itself out. I would like to think as we get more successful and get him into more games consecutively, that he'll get back to what he looked like at the end of last season."
Maddon said Rodney's pitching during the Classic was similar as it was in 2012. However, there has been a benefit from using Rodney less during the early part of the season.
"I think in a perverse way, it's been accomplished that he has not been abused coming out of that, and we can use him normally the rest of the season now because he caught a break," Maddon said.

Yoram necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 103 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
We are a stealth mode hi-tech startup in the process of launching ourselves and our first product. This makes our logo that much important - it will get a lot of exposure and should thus represent us well. Our product is for mobile internet consumers, though future versions might include pc as well. We have a grand vision, novel ideas and we use cutting edge technology - from cloud computing to mobile apps.
Our first version of the product will target mobile internet users in the U.S., though future versions and products will target all internet consumers (not just mobile - pc, ipad, etc as well) and expand to additional countries as well.
The company logo we are looking for should be clean, unique and catchy. Not looking for something childish, but we are open to fun logos. Our company name is IvyHorseman - note the spelling - capital I and capital H - one word. This logo will also be used in our products as well.
The website we have in the works has blue and black/shades of black/gray. You can see an example of the blue we use in the images attached (file called lava.gif). However, you can/should experiment with colors - and we would like instructions of how we can change colors if possible.
We will use this logo in our website, mobile (android first) app splash screen and as the icon of our mobile app (size range from 72x72 px to 36x36 px). Therefore, we should be able to change the size of the logo, and the logo should still be "recognizable" in smaller sizes as well.
As for file format - we don't have photoshop, but we do have gimp for editing regular images (png, etc) and Inkscape for editing vector graphics. If there are special instructions of how to resize the logo please include those - we will use gimp/inkscape to try it out.
Thanks for your participation in this design!

And their fans.
Annnnd he's rushing back. Dude's an absolute warrior, if we had of won either of the last 2 i think he'd sit
I think he's coming back too soon. I wish he'd take another 3 weeks. The season is over; there's no need to risk his long term health. I'm resigned to the fact that we are not going to make it this year. Let's look at some young guys;prepare our draft position and contemplate using free agency to actually fill a couple of holes. That's where my thinking is these days.
The Steeler way...is the only way.
We're still holding down a wildcard spot, he's gotta play! The rib thing was a ploy to buy some baby time. The shoulder is the only issue now!!
I heard on ESPN the doctors cleared him to play.. the rib is a non issue now.
He needs to throw the ball and see how it goes. Then if he plays.. Throw the freaking ball out of bounds.. quit taking the hits... play for the next down for little Bens sake.

Yesterday we shared some good ideas for quirky gifts that any gearhead would enjoy. Today we explore the other end of the spectrum: The most preposterous automotive gifts in the world.
All automakers squeeze some extra cabbage by throwing their brands on licensed merchanidse, but several think their logos can perform alchemy with polyester and aluminum. We can only imagine who buys these things: Car dealers who forget their anniversaries, brand-obsessed Eurotrash trust funders, people filling in the wedding registry of a Kardashian. And several offer an answer to the question: "What if the ExtenZe doesn't work?"
I'd like to tell you that such things are rare, and that there isn't a whole world of Bentley watch safes and Swarovski-studded Mercedes key fobs. Like the power boost that comes from the customizing aisle at Pep Boys, these trinkets slap a chrome turbo badge on class.

In a nutshell, our Amortization Calculator helps you determine what you will pay - and when - for your mortgage loan.
This simple loan calculator allows you to enter the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term, and shows you the estimated monthly payment and total interest to be paid over the length of the loan (fixed-rate or adjustable rate). You can use the Amortization Calculator to create a printable table for your loan - simply fill in the fields below and click "Calculate."
Select the edit icon to edit your custom html
Calculate your monthly payment for fixed rate or adjustable rate loans.
Amortization is "the systematic repayment of a debt." The emphasis is on the word "systematic." Amortizing a mortgage loan means paying it down, bit by bit. Usually, this means making regular monthly payments. Pretty straightforward, right?
The great advantage of utilizing an Amortization Calculator while searching for a home loan is you will know how much you must pay each month, under a specific interest rate, and get an idea of when you will finish paying off the loan.
When you take out a mortgage, you make a monthly payment to the lender, and that is an amortization payment. A part of the payment covers the interest due on the loan, and the remainder of the payment goes to reduce the principal amount owed. Interest is computed on the current amount owed and will become progressively smaller as the principal is decreased.
In the beginning, you will be making large interest payments and small payments to the principal. As time goes on, you will reduce the principal to the point you don't have much to pay in interest, and so your payment covers mostly the principal.

Holistic health care for pets: Opinions differ, so upcoming expo will give you a chance to decide for yourself
Interested in getting your dog a massage? How about chiropractic treatment for your horse? Or animal communication treatment for your cat?
According to supporters, these treatments and others are more available for pets today than ever before. They say alternative, or "holistic," care is making inroads in the animal population, just as it has for humans.
This year, Dr. Judy Jasek founded the Colorado Natural Pet Care Association, a nonprofit. The group is putting on the Colorado Natural Pet Expo on Oct. 8 at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. The expo was first held last year.
The group says the goal of the event is to inform attendees about the benefits of holistic treatments for animals.
The driving force of this is Jasek, a veterinarian who owns Belleview Animal Clinic in Englewood.
She says the event will be an opportunity for pet owners to come and learn about treatment modules and talk to holistic practitioners.
"There's some wonderful people going to be there," she adds.
A holistic approach to pet health and wellness involves the whole animal – body, mind and spirit.
"By creating balance is these areas, pets will experience a higher quality of life and increased vitality," says Jasek.
Expo attendees will have the opportunity to learn about many aspects of holistic pet care, including:
– Natural options to traditional medicines and vaccinations.
– Alternatives to commercial pet foods, such as natural products and supplements.
– Gentle response training methods that focus on stress management, diet and environment.
– Therapeutic methods to improve a pet's physical abilities.
– Treatment that helps with relaxation and the release of a pet's negative emotions, plus helping people better understand their pets.
Alternative treatments in the field also include aromatherapy, Bach flower remedy therapy, energy therapy, low-energy photon therapy, magnetic field therapy, orthomolecular therapy; veterinary acupuncture, acutherapy, acupressure and veterinary homeopathy.
Dr. Jasek understands that some people are skeptical about alternative treatments. In fact, skeptics are her main target.
"I want to get the skeptics to attend more than anybody else," Jasek says. "People need to learn to open their minds."
Skepticism seems to center around the perceived lack of scientific evidence that the alternative treatments work. There are also questions about training and use of herbal remedies not reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Where does the traditional veterinary community stand?
The American Veterinary Medical Association's policy, last revised in 2007, says: "The AVMA recognizes the interest in and use of these modalities and is open to their consideration."
It cautions that "all veterinary medicine (including alternative) should be held to the same standards. Claims for safety and effectiveness ultimately should be proven by the scientific method."
As for training, it says: "The AVMA believes veterinarians should ensure that they have
the requisite skills and knowledge for any treatment modality they may consider using."
The policy continues: "The quality of studies and reports pertaining to (alternative treatment) varies; therefore, it is incumbent on a veterinarian to critically evaluate the literature and other sources of information."
And it says: "Veterinarians should be aware that animal nutritional supplements and botanicals typically are not subject to premarketing evaluation by the FDA for purity, safety, or efficacy and may contain active pharmacologic agents or unknown substances."
Jasek says she gets questioned on these types of issues. But she stands her ground.
"There's a tremendous amont of clinical evidence," she says. "There are research studies done but they don't get published because they're not mainstream."
Jasek says herbal medicines are natural and plant products with fewer chemicals and don't have as many side effects.
As for training, she says there are excellent resources available to learn basic alternative modalities.
Jasek's own education was mainstream. She graduated from veterinary school at Colorado State University, one of the top schools in the country.
How did she begin holistic treatment?
"A horse I owned had an injury and I went to a chiropractor," she says. "I was skeptical. But it completely turned that horse around. So I started learning a very valid way of treating animals."
She says her current practice is "integrated," featuring both holistic and traditional tratment.
"In my practice I'm seeing seeing more demand for (alternative care)," she says. "People are a little more open to it."
Jasek adds that some traditional animal clinics are practicing aspects of alternative care, such as acupuncture.
"The big benefit I see in these types of therapies is that they're not just treating the symptoms, they're treating the whole body," she says.
Where doe she see holistic veterinary care in 25 years?
"I see it becoming more available," Jasek says. "There will be an increase because pet owners are asking for it."
