I love the toaty trunk, it's perfect for storing my daughters toys & looks great! Well made & has that vintage look!
I highly recommend the toaty! I bought it for my daughter's toys but I'm tempted to get more for additional storage. It has the vintage but fresh feel I'm looking for. Love to see in even more colors ! Thank you Olli Ella !
We walk to the beach all summer and this is perfect for all the snacks and sunscreen!
I cannot say enough about this trunk. I bought it to replace an ugly wired office bin to be my new portable office at home. It holds everything and looks so beautiful too when not in use.
Beautifully well made I'm using this to store all of my baby's nappy changing bits and bobs.

G'day Scuzz, Am back at home and at work (L) and trying desperately to hold the buzz of the trip. Just a quick note to say see ya and thanks as we obviously didn't catch up before we left. The trip was a blast. I had ridiculously high expectations and they were comfortably met. Can't wait to get the pics and vid from Grant – will no doubt spend hours replaying it all. Gawd knows what the future will bring but I seriously hope I get to do another trip on the mahogany in the years ahead. The whole trip was a great reminder that life is about experiences not stuff – and experiences don't come much better than two weeks on the 'Hog'! A personal highlight for me was on the second last day finally feeling 25+ years of cobwebs and limited surf time get washed away – I seriously haven't surfed like that in decades!! So thanks Scuzz, you and the guys provided a fantastic experience – it was grand to 'live the dream' for two weeks. Cheers,
Eric Schwarz (Australia, January, 2017)
Thanks scuzzy for your enthusiasm and encouragement I was totally shagged after the 10days here is a photo that all and sundry think is photo shopped.Regards,
James Walker-Powell (Australia, May, 2016)
Been on many many trips, this my friend was the absolute best ever in every way crew, boat, food, totally honest my friend you have a terrific company, from all the boys, thankyou thankyou thankyou.
BUZZzzzzzzzzzzz (Buzz Johnson, USA, May 2016)
Hey Danny,Once again SS has delivered a great trip. Got to surf some unreal waves that will remain nameless. Josh did an outstanding job getting us to the best and least crowded breaks. Also his photography is outstanding. Want to give a shout out to all the crew. Captain Jap is a master seaman. To Arman, Nas, and Rizky thanks for looking out for us and always having a smile while taking us to surf in the tender. Bujang is a legend, constantly in motion, fixing dings, keeping an eye on everything and taking me fishing. We caught a lot of fish. Potato you are a master in the kitchen. Best food yet on any SS charter I've been on! Can't wait to go on a trip next year.Sampai berjumpa lagi,

Mark "Red" South, Australia, March, 2016
Dear Scuzz and Danny,I just wanted to say thanks for an incredible experience on the Mahogany mid january 2016. We had some great waves and great times while aboard. The wave forecast was fair, but Scuzz put us in the most ideal spot everyday. We scored! Uncrowded days at Maccas, Greenbush, Rag's etc. Amazing. The crew killed it too. Captain Chap, Shugu, Uncu, Randy, Yanto, and a few others made it easy to transition from surf stoke to bintangs to dinner. We ate epic food courtesy of chef Yanto. It was my first SS mentawai boat trip, but will not be my last!Sincere Thanks,
Ryan Moran(San Diego,California, February, 2016)
Scuzz,I just wanted to thank you for an amazing trip on the Mahogany last week. Your professionalism, experience, knowledge and desire to get everyone the best waves possible made the trip fantastic and I came home stoked refreshed and wanting to book again for the same time next year. It was also a pleasure to meet your wonderful family and I wish you and them a sensational Xmas and a healthy and safe 2016.Thanks again Scuzz and I will talk with Turtle early next year about planning our next trip.Cheers,
Jim Delahunty, (Australia, December, 2015)

Season Three Debut Up 37 Percent From Last Season With Over One Million Total Viewers
NEW YORK - January 21, 2010 - Matchmaker, matchmaker made a big match, with the third season premiere of Bravo's "The Millionaire Matchmaker" catching a double digit increase from the second season premiere and scoring the series' highest rated premiere ever in all demographics, according to Nielsen Media Research. The premiere attracted 758,000 adults 18-49 and 1.10 million total viewers, up 30 percent (vs. 581,000) and 37 percent (vs. 807,000) respectively over season two's premiere (2/12/09).
Online, "The Millionaire Matchmaker" saw triple digits gains in total page views from the prior season premiere, with an increase of 135 percent on the series site on BravoTV.com (109,000 vs. 46,000).
Catch an all-new episode of "The Millionaire Matchmaker" next Tuesday, January 26 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, where Patti Stanger is blessed with two young clients. Tyler Barnett may only be 25, but this impressive entrepreneur owns a successful Beverly Hills public relations firm. While aggressive in business, Tyler's personal life is more low-key. Patti needs to teach this Renaissance man how to hunt & fish for the perfect woman, as she labels him the perfect example of the "feminization of the American man." Patti's other client is Justin Shenkarow. Now 28, Justin is best known for playing the character Matthew Brock on the hit series "Picket Fences" when he was just a kid. Having had success in Hollywood at such a young age, Patti pegs Justin as a spoiled child actor who wants it all and has no sense of what women are like in the real world. After a feisty confrontation during their first meeting, Patti has a few other choice names for her newest client.

In the tight 5th Congressional District race, Republican Sen. Andrew Roraback is banking on socially tolerant and fiscally conservative credentials.
Former state Rep. Elizabeth Esty, the Democratic nominee, has aligned herself with Democrats' national priorities. She paints her opponent as an ally of the conservative politics dominating the Republican national agenda.
On social issues, there's little difference. Both Esty and Roraback support gay marriage and women's reproductive rights, and both oppose the death penalty.
The two diverge on fiscal and budget policy. Here, they line up largely with the agendas of their respective parities, while claiming an independent streak.
U.S. House Leadership
Whichever party dominates the House will set the agenda through selection of speaker. Roraback has received fundraising support from current House Speaker John Boehner and has said he would support Boehner staying on as speaker. Esty has received fundraising help from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, but wouldn't commit to support Pelosi as leader. It's unclear which Democrats would be in contention for the post, Esty campaign spokesman Jeb Fain said.
Esty has said she would let Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy expire, affecting households with more than $250,000 annual income. Her campaign has also said Esty will work to cut tax breaks for oil companies and agribusiness. Esty's campaign spokesman, Jeb Fain, was unable to deliver a more specific list of tax relief to be targeted. Esty has said she would maintain middle class tax breaks.
Roraback proposes freezing all tax rates for one year, while federal authorities rewrite what he considers an overly complex tax code riddled with tax loopholes for special interests.
What sort of special interests?
Asked for an example, Roraback said he would like to close unneeded breaks for the ethanol industry.
"The ethanol industry is highly subsidized through the tax code," Roraback said. "I'm not convinced those tax breaks serve a public purpose anymore."
Congress apparently already agrees, because it allowed the "blenders tax credit" – the primary tax advantage for ethanol – to expire on Dec. 31, 2011.
Reached later, Roraback offered a clarification. He said he was speaking about the tax credit for cellulosic ethanol – which is made from non-edible plant material such as grass and corn husks.
This method is harder and more expensive. A roughly $1 per gallon tax credit is currently available. A January report by Brownfield Ag News said that the industry has not yet begun commercially producing cellulosic ethanol, though several plants were under construction.
Roraback is also calling for a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 25 percent. He believes this will entice many companies that currently park capital overseas to invest in American factories and workers.
Roraback also hopes to see an end to the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax. He says these "devastate" small businesses being handed down through generations.
Job Creation
Roraback's economic development strategy centers on tax cuts.
Roraback and Esty agree on the need to invest more in education and transportation infrastructure, though neither has offered specifics on the scale of that investment, or exactly how this would be funded.
Fain, from Esty's campaign, said some portion would come from ending tax breaks for oil companies and agribusiness. Esty has also spoken about trimming the federal defense budget by smarter spending.
Esty and Roraback also agree on the need to change the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act – a huge package of financial regulations delivered in response to the latest recession – in order to allow small businesses quicker access to loans through local banks.
Esty's campaign also cites the need to close tax loopholes rewarding businesses that ship jobs overseas. The campaign was unable to list the specific loopholes or the mechanisms by which they would be closed.
Roraback talks about the need to pull back on onerous federal regulations. He cited an article in the Connecticut Business and Industry Association newsletter concerning a report estimating 2,183 regulations affecting business. Each one should be reviewed, Roraback said.
Social Security
Esty and Roraback agree on the need to lift the cap on maximum earnings subject to Social Security taxes, which currently stands at the first $110,100 of income.
Esty says this will solve the problem for 75 years. She has pledged to oppose any cuts in benefits.
Roraback says more is needed, although he has not embraced any specific change. He has repeatedly pledged no cuts to benefits for people who are now 50 or older.
The federal program provides insurance for seniors and some disabled people. In 2011, it covered 48.7 million people at an expense of $549.1 billion, according to the trustees of Medicare. The trustees estimate Part A of the program – covering hospitals and inpatient stays – will remain solvent until 2024. Some experts predict the trust fund supporting it will run dry earlier.
Roraback has said the best way to keep Medicare going is to create jobs that will result in more taxes paid. He said the government also needs to study the disparities in the cost of care in different regions.
Esty has no complete formula for solving the Medicare crisis, but endorses a number of measures she believes will help. Policies beyond direct medical access will come into play, she said. Federal subsidies for corn production encourage a bumper crop, translating into more corn syrup and a fatter, sicker, population, Esty said.
"I don't claim to have all of the answers, but I do appreciate how complicated they are," Esty said.
Esty said the federal government needs to end the prohibition against negotiating drug prices with pharmaceutical companies. She also said the government could standardized health insurance forms nationally, cutting down on administrative costs and medical errors. Medicare should move away from a system that pays doctors for each treatment and test to a system rewarding physicians for health outcomes. Esty also advocates penalties for hospitals with high infection and readmission rates.
Better health outcomes will lead to less cost.
Roraback, like Esty, said Americans need to address lifestyle problems leading to increased health costs. He would support more public education campaigns about obesity, smoking and other hazards. He does not see a federal insurance program as the solution, however.
Roraback has repeatedly denied that his election would forward Republican ideas of pushing Medicare to a voucher system. Roraback has said he disagrees with the budget plans of Congressman Paul Ryan for this very reason.
Health Care Reform
Esty is devoted to preserving the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act – also known as Obamacare. This will extend health coverage, leading to better health and lower costs ultimately, she argues. Esty argues that sick people eventually get care on the public dime, but many end up getting the most expensive care via an emergency room.
Roraback argues the federal law's health insurance mandates make employers hesitant to employ more people. Roraback also said the law will reduce Medicare payments to medical providers, cutting the numbers of practices willing to accept patients.
Roraback argues that individual states can do a better job delivering cost-effective public health options. He wants to replace the Affordable Care Act with a mandate that states develop plans to cover at least 98 percent of residents by 2014.
The federal government could provide some financial assistance, Roraback said. The mandate should require some of the tenets in the existing federal law, Roraback said, including: allowing children to remain on parents' insurance until age 26, no lifetime coverage caps and a prohibition on refusing coverage based on preexisting conditions.

You should take this medicine first thing in the morning and follow the same schedule each day. This medicine works best if you have a "drug-free" period of time every day when you do not take it. Your doctor will schedule your doses during the day to allow for a drug-free time. Follow the schedule of dosing carefully so the medicine will work properly.

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey have responded to Taylor Swift — and perhaps now it's time to move on.
In a new interview in Vanity Fair, Swift responded to Fey and Poehler's Golden Globes joke telling her to stay away from Michael J. Fox's son. "You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people," Swift said. "She said to me she had heard a quote that she loved, that said, 'There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women.'"
Taylor Swift throws shade at Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, calls out "sexist" critics
"I feel bad if she was upset," Poehler told The Hollywood Reporter. "I am a feminist and she is a young and talented girl. That being said, I do agree I am going to hell. But for other reasons. Mostly boring tax stuff." The Parks and Recreation star is, in fact, an active feminist. She even launched Amy Poehler's Smart Girls, a YouTube series dedicated to empowering young women.
But Fey wasn't quite as diplomatic as her former SNL co-star. "If anyone was going to get mad at us, I thought it would be James Cameron," she told ET at the Admission premiere on Tuesday. "I did not see that one coming. It was a joke. It was a lighthearted joke."

I'm taking a chance to post here, and I really hope someone would be able to assist me
It is my first android app.
I have created a very small android app. Basically it consists of a listview with two buttons:
The listview shows our courses. Once clicked, it shows the contents of each course
One button allows me to download a brochure
the other button opens up a form where the user can enter his / her details in order for us to be able to contact him / her
Nothing complicated.
Now I have debugged this app over and over to ensure everything will work fine.
On my AVD ( Samsung Galaxy SII ) everything works smoothly
So, I exported the release build with its signed key, and made it available for download from my website - not the google play store, as I want to gradually release it onto different platforms depending on the amount of downloads I get.
Right, so I download it and installed it on my phone ( Galaxy S II ) all 284 KB of it.
When I attempt to run it, my phone says that the app has stopped working and I must Force Close it.
What can it be?
I know this question seems vague, but perhaps there is a step I have missed.
Any guidance will be welcomed.
--- Update ---
OK, I managed to install this program onto a Samsung Galaxy S4. It works without any problems.
So, I did some research on the internet and I was told that I should make my minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion the same. I made them both 9 ( for Gingerbread ), and made the TargetApi :
Still it doesn't work on my Samsung Galaxy S2
There is hope, but I do not know how to make this app more compatible with earlier Samsung ( android ) versions
Any advice?

In fact, buried deep within the Electricity Generation Costs report published by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (Decc) in late 2013, there is confirmation that the cost of a wind generating project from construction through its lifespan is actually cheaper than nuclear.
In a Decc table of levelised costs where each technology is assigned an approriate level of risk for investment purposes, nuclear attracts a higher interest rate than onshore wind. On this basis, it is cheaper than nuclear in 2020, see chart below.
PV beats all by 2030
The costs of nuclear generation are forecast to fall more rapidly than wind after 2020, and by 2030 the same figures for nuclear undercut those for wind. However, photovoltaic generating costs may fall faster than wind or nuclear, making PV the cheapest source of the three by 2030.
Another interesting point shown in the chart is that the figures for combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGT) are higher than those for wind by 2030. This indicates that Decc anticipates significant increases in gas prices by that time. Decc also envisages slow progress with carbon capture and storage as there are no generating costs quoted before 2025.
By 2030 the anticipated generation cost from CCGT, with carbon capture and storage, is estimated at £104/MWh ($169/MWh), significantly higher than nuclear (£77/MWh), onshore wind (£85/MWh), or PV (£70/MWh). No figures are given for tidal stream or wave energy.UK in top cost range for most technologies
The generating cost estimates for the UK tend to be towards the top end of global cost ranges. A recent report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena), Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2012, confirms this, and suggests the generating cost range for onshore wind will change little between now and the end of the decade. By then, Irena expects it to be in the $40-140/MWh range. At $137/MWh, UK costs remain at the high end of the range.
The lowest price is only matched by biomass co-firing, hydropower and geothermal. The generation costs from the latter two technologies are, however, very site-dependent and the minimum level can only be achieved in very favourable locations.
Both Irena and the UK's Decc expect substantial reductions in offshore generation costs to be achieved by 2020. The estimates produced by the two organisations for that date are similar. Irena suggests offshore wind now costs $160-240/MWh, which will fall to $140-210/MWh by 2020. Decc indicates offshore wind now costs around $238/MWh, and that it will fall to around $170/MWh by the end of the decade, which is roughly in the middle of the range quoted by Irena. Decc quotes the likely range as $145-188/MWh.
The Irena report estimates generation costs for eight regions of the world: OECD Europe, OECD North America, Africa, eastern Europe and central Asia, other Asia, China, India and Latin America. The most expensive regions for onshore wind are Europe and Asia, while the cheapest are China and India. Africa and Latin America are slightly cheaper than Europe, not just for wind but most other technologies too. Photovoltaic costs vary widely, but nowhere is the average cheaper than wind.Latin America stands out for wind energy
The Irena report suggests Latin America may be one of the best regions for wind energy, based on high-capacity factors - the annual power output compared with total power potential from turbine plated capacity.
In Latin America, the average capacity factor is around 45%, significantly ahead of Africa's 33%. The least favourable non-Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) region appears to be India, where the average capacity factor is around 23%. A full list of capacity factors in OECD regions is not supplied, but the most recent data from the US suggests it is about 33%.
In the December issue, we looked at the cost of nuclear power in the UK, given the government £10 billion loan guarantee. The required increase to the strike price of £92.5/MWh if the internal rate of return rose by just 1% should be £10/MWh, not £20/MWh as we reported.

Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye. The conjunctiva is the membrane that lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the eyeball. Conjunctivitis is also known as "pink eye" because the eye looks pink or red.
In children, the condition is often grouped into either newborn conjunctivitis or childhood conjunctivitis. There are different causes and treatments for each group.
Types of newborn conjunctivitis include:
Childhood conjunctivitis is a swelling of the conjunctiva and may also include an infection. It is a very common problem in children. Large outbreaks of conjunctivitis are often seen in daycare settings or schools. The most common causes of childhood conjunctivitis are:
If the condition is caused by an infection, it's important to know that the infection can spread from one eye to the other by touching the affected eye or fluid from the eye. The infection can also spread to other people. Fluid from the eye is still contagious for 24 to 48 hours after starting treatment.
There are many different causes of conjunctivitis. The most common causes are:
A child who has had contact with any of the below are at risk for the condition:
Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each child. They can include:
The symptoms of conjunctivitis can be like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on the cause of the condition, for example:
To help prevent spread of the infection, wash your hands often when caring for your child. Make sure your child doesn't touch his or her eyes. Have your child wash his or her hands often.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your child's healthcare provider:

11 Years Already?
Mr Chiots and I aren't big celebrators of big events, birthdays and anniversaries aren't that big of a deal around here. I'm not sure why, we're just too practical I think. Last year on our anniversary I got an e-mail from my mom about halfway through the day, we had both completely missed that it was our anniversary. I looked at Brian (we both work from home) and said, "Hey, today's our anniversary". He looked at me and said, "Oh, Happy Anniversary!", then we went right back to work.
So today being our 11 year anniversary probably isn't going to get much of a celebration (at least I did remember it was today). We actually have the day off, no weddings to film. I'm off to the farmer's market this morning, and we're running some errands this afternoon. We will celebrate our anniversary like any other day, spending time together.
How do you celebrate big events like birthdays & anniversaries?Filed under About Me | Comments (23)

Happy Anniversary! I also am not a big celebrator of those kinds of days, its more about having my loved ones close at birthdays/anniversaries etc. than actually *doing* something to mark the occasion. Plus, some of the best days I've had with them are not the "occasions" but rather just a random day that was especially good and which made me glad to be alive and have so many blessings.
Mangochild's last blog post.. First Fruits…
to Mangochild's comment
My family doesn't really believe one day means more than another. If you love someone you should treat them well all year long. There was one year that we both forgot our anniversary. We don't usually celebrate anymore. Occasionally we decide to. Or we have a trip in the summer and jokingly call it our anniversary trip. For our 10th we actually did plan a second honeymoon trip. This year is our 25th anniversary (in a week and a half). We aren't going anywhere or doing anything. My husband won't even be in town for it. I jokingly told him he owed me a nice dinner to make up for it.
Our birthdays on the other hand we use as an excuse to have a party. We throw two big parties a year. We have them sometime in the vicinity of our birthdays. But they are really just an excuse and we tell people not to bring gifts. That's another thing. I'm really not a gift person. I don't like stuff, so I don't get the whole gift giving routine. Everyone seems to trade stuff that they don't need with stuff that the other person doesn't need. And my mom and MIL travel together all over the world. They always buy us stuff on the trip. This last time I think I convinced them both that I didn't need anything. Score. :>

Happy Anniversary! We usually just celebrate with a dinner out just the two of us. Nothing more than that, as it's a treat and enough.

We don't go crazy for anniversaries either, but we do birthdays big! When our anniversary rolls around we usually just go to a nice dinner. Sometimes simple is nice.

Congrats! You two sound much like we are. We don't usually go big and fancy for anniversaries. Usually we just put together a nice dinner or go out to eat. I had better think about that part June 3rd is ours.

Happy Anniversary!
We are not big celebrators. And because we love nothing more than to spend time together, we usually do that – a nice dinner, a day about town, time at the beach. Same for birthdays, we don't do anything big, maybe a dinner with friends. Although, this year is Daniel's 50's birthday, and I think we are going to go to Disney World for the first time in both of our lives. We live close and we figure it's so out of our nature that it will mark that half century properly. :) And next year, it being our 20th wedding anniversary, we are thinking of taking a trip for the occasion (which is nothing new as we love to travel), maybe to Iceland, somewhere we've always wanted to go.
Have a wonderful day! :) Silke

Happy Anniversary! You do realize that that montage of photos looks like an L.L. bean photo shoot, right?
We almost forgot our anniversary last year, too. But we were traveling and a bit busy with family. Usually we remember. Most of the time, we just go out to dinner, which is definitely a special thing for us, because we hardly ever do. Birthdays though . . . on your birthday, everyone should spoil you all day long. I firmly believe that.

congratulations susy:) i remember that day like it was…. 11 years ago!! can't believe it. i also liked the proposal…. it was a good one!!!! love you guys :)
to deedee's comment
Congratulations! We just celebrated our 23rd. We usually use it as an excuse to go out to dinner- just the two of us with no children. That is something that we rarely get to do. Our anniversary is sandwiched between two of our childrens' birthdays so May is a busy month for us for celebrations.

11 years together with the amount of time the two of you spend together is like 22 years! (had you ever thought of that?).
Not big on the gifts either, but I always take my birthday off and BBQ and have a beer. Been doing it for 15 or 16 years now. I celebrate with whomever is around. Its always nice.

We're very much like you. We might go out to dinner or something, but for the most part it's more about being together every day, not about one specific day.

Happy Anniversary! We are not big shindig people, but we do insist on spending the day together. We usually make a nice dinner at home and if it is a birthday, that person gets to pick what they want. If the year being celebrated ends with a 5 or a 0 we usually plan something special. Our 10 year anniversary we went to Europe, 15th to the Grand Canyon, 20th a long weekend at a local hot springs, and 25th was a trip to the Bahamas. For our 30th I think we are going to rent a house boat on Lake Powell with two other families.

B. and I are pretty much like you – we in fact don't even know the actual date of our anniversary, we know the week but that's it. No big plans, never do things like Valentine's Day. It just almost seems silly when you spend all your time together anyway.

to Kelly's comment
Happy Happy Day!
The consensus seems to be that your loyal blog readers are not big party people. Ditto for us. Spending time together is a must, but we don't do big celebrations and we're not much for gifts (I did get a hammer for Mothers day one year…I was thrilled :)

Happy anniversary!
Hubby and I celebrate 9 years this coming Wednesday. I think we're going out to dinner, but more because it's the last night we have a baby sitter available for a while so we're taking advantage. We tend to be pretty mellow on the celebration end, but with two kids, it's nice just to do things the two of us from time to time.

Jesse's back
DETROIT — While waiting to chat with Jesse Litsch this afternoon, the pitcher was getting ready to head out for a pregame bullpen session. While he was getting ready, Shaun Marcum called Litsch's name and tossed a pair of black socks in his direction.
Litsch looked up just in time to take the socks right off his face. Marcum, who has thrown two strong outings in a row for the Jays, laughed.
"See? I'm starting to hit my spots better," Marcum quipped.
As you've probably gathered by now, Litsch is back and will be starting on Thursday. Roy Halladay is pushed back to Friday's opener in Boston, while Scott Richmond heads to the bullpen and John Parrish to Syracuse.
More on Litsch's return on bluejays.com in a bit.

I hope Ortiz is getting rid of this before we play you. 2 at bats, 2 home runs and 6 rbi's. I thought he was supposed to miss Manny.
I know it's a day late but welcome back Jordan!
I didn't think Scott's demotion would come so soon. I would've thought he could've had one more start but maybe a long relief/spot starter bullpen role could be what he ends up being. Jesse has never overly impressed me as a Major League starter but hopefully he can show me an ability to bounce back after a string of rough outings the rest of the way. If anything he, Richmond, Purcey etc. should be nice competition for the 5th starter next year.
How to motivate Gary Sheffield. Put the guy out on wavers and he hits two home runs. Maybe we should try that with a few of our guys.
Great football game in Fenway tonight. lol
Bottom of the 7th: Texas-16, Boston-14
Texas sacked the q.b. for a safety. lol. Boston should be ashamed of themselves. Leading 10-0 in the 1st. If Boston loses tonight, they should pack there bags and go golfing.
naw-not golfing, put on the pads and play the Pats. lol Hey, would you like to have Burnett now?
That was a MAJOR single by Lind in the top of the 9th to drive in a run and give BJ a two run cushion. Made all the difference.
I guess Charlie Zink isn't a keeper, huh? Would you tell Terry to make sure and pitch him against our guys next week. We need a break.
Zink is off to the minors. Next time he is at Fenway, he'll be in the stands. lol.
Looks like they scored another field goal. Boston 19 Texas 17.
Bosox-I'd bet fans are happy that's over. Look at the game line
Texas: 17 runs, 20 hits, 2 errors
Boston: 19 runs, 17 hits, 2 errors.
Ortiz hits two-3 run home runs and drives in 6 runs in the first inning. I think we have htters that havent done that in 6 weeks. lol
A crazy night in Boston. The Rangers lineup is insane. There pitching is just horrendous. Nolan Ryan will hold pitching tryouts in the Dallas/Fort Worth area tomm. Are you interested? lol. Bring your own glove. All you have to do is throw it over plate and you'll be starting for the Rangers on Thurs. night.
Boston's pen is either good or bad. Tonight they STUNK. Aardsma and Delcarmen were PATHETIC. Francona left Zink in too long. Ask Zink about any city in the minors and he'll let you know everything you need to know. He is quite knowledgeable about the minor league cities. He can drive blind thru Pawtucket, lol. He had a 10-0 lead and he couldn't even get a win. Have a great time in the minors Mr. Zink, hardly knew ya. lol.
Too bad about Richmond. Obviously, JP has no long-term plans for him. They should have let him go to the olympics and win a medal, rather than treat him like this.
Burt. you can bet if it wasn't for the Olympic issue, Richmond would have been sent back down after his first start. As it is, I expect we'll keep him in the pen ONLY until the Olympics are completed. His demotion will coincide with the recall of Accardo or Tallet to fluff it over.
The Jays knew fully well what his capabilities are and it wasn't enough for prime time at the MLB level.
I think your pitching overall, not just the pen, is no were near where it was last year and certainly not world series winnable. It looks to me like it's the year of Angels from the AL.
Red Sox overall aren't nearly as good as they were last year. A year ago Boston was the team to beat in baseball and right now the Angels are. Angels are the class of baseball right now. Right now being the key word. Have the Angels peeked too soon? All the pressure is on the Angels and nada zip zero on Boston. That could be a good thing. If I was a betting man, I put my $$$$ on the Angels. Crawford being out for the season is a killer and Longoria being out hurts big time. T.B. needs to get a bat, they needed one before those 2 got hurt, now they need one in the worst way. Boston has a very good chance to squeak out the division.
I like Boston's rotation but there pen is very inconsisent. Delcarmen who knows what you'll get from him. He doesn't even know, lol. Too many games are won and lost late in the game. Boston has lost so many 1 run games on the road this year because of there pen and lack of clutch hitting. At Fenway they are solid for sure. They should win 55 games at home. The road, they look lost.
I would go with Angels and Cubs for the W.S. Pretty lame prediction I know. lol. Going out on a limb there. NOT.
Okay this is it! Right after this series with Detroit, we have 15 games against the teams ahead of us in the east. If we can win 12 or 13 of those games, we still have a chance!!!………………………..(phhht who am I kidding)
We have 6 this month with Boston and NY. We need to sweep all 12 of these games and do no worse than 2 of 3 against Tampa Bay. That would get us back into the race.
If Purcey settles in, Litsch pitches like he did at the start of the season, Accardo comes back strong, the offense gets on a roll, Boston, NY and TB all have a bad lossing streak, there's a new moon, it rains in the dome with the roof closed-who knows, stranger things have happened. Keep the faith. lol
I'm with you on the series contenders, although Milwaukee could be the dark horse this year.
I like how Arnsberg and Cito are handling Purcey. That kind of management should get him settled in sooner than later. Although, there's no question how good his breaking ball is and how effective he will be when is going, I still think he needs some work on his changeup.
The problem I see with the changeup is, he changes arm speed when he throws it. If we can pick that up on TV, you can bet hitters pick it up in the box, and they sit on it and blast it to Kingdom come. By comparision, you see nothing different at all when Marcum throws his changeup-which is why it's so effective.
Hopefully, this comes after he gets the breaking ball and focus into control, because when he gets the changeup going as well, he will be lights out.
Let's hope it comes together tonight.
I know Rios was safe last night but the "heck" was that. The guy has talent but he does some things that make me wonder if he ever will realize his potential. Even Rod Barajas looked as if he was in disbelief at the way he went to home.

Obama signs up for Obamacare as midnight deadline nears
He doesn't need it and will never use it, but President Barack Obama signed up for Obamacare anyway.
The political maneuver, announced Monday by the White House, was aimed at showing solidarity with hundreds of thousands of Americans enrolling in the new federal health-care exchanges.
And it seemed to have worked. Capitol Hill newspaper The Hill reported nearly 2 million people visited the HealthCare.gov website Monday, a record. Another 250,000 people called federal call centers to inquire about buying private health insurance Monday, according to the administration's Twitter account and The Hill.
Technically, Monday was the deadline to sign up for health insurance that begins on New Year's Day under the 2010 health care law.
But the Obama administration persuaded insurance companies to extend their deadlines to accept payments until Jan. 10, which means you could wait and sign up retroactively. And it quietly extended today's deadline until 11:59 p.m. on Christmas Eve, according to the Washington Post.
Obama was enrolled in the Washington, D.C., exchange over the weekend, aides said, purchasing a "bronze"-level plan that will set him back about $400 a month (with a salary of $400,000, the president doesn't qualify for subsidies). But aides said he won't use the plan: Obama and his family will continue to enjoy, as all recent presidents have, medical care through the U.S. military.
The political stunt naturally drew criticism from Republicans, even though the party had for months prodded Obama to participate in his signature health-care law.
Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., noted that Obama "had the option to keep the plan he had, along with access to the doctors and hospitals he was comfortable with."
Brendan Buck, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said: "Americans are looking for a lot more than symbolic gestures. This law is a train wreck, and no one should be forced to take part in it."
It's clear the administration is doing all it can to get uninsured Americans to buy health insurance before the deadline of midnight tonight, despite a troubled roll out of the federal website to shop for insurance, cancellation of some people's insurance policy's and Republicans' refusal in many states to set up state websites.
But it's looking like the administration will fall short of its goal of having 3.3 million people sign up by the end of the year. Administration officials are still optimistic they'll reach their goal of 7 million newly insured Americans by the end of the second enrollment date of March 31.

Your Behavior Can Contribute to The Aggression of Your German Shepherd Dog
Is your German Shepherd Dog aggressive? Aggression, to the desirable extent, is a part of the breed's natural character, although these dogs usually make great companions for your family and can prove to be quite good with kids. Too docile nature of German Shepherd will compromise his guarding and protective instincts, and would make him undesirably friendly with strangers, which is a serious fault in his character. While, on the other hand, too aggressive nature can be a way to get over you... that is to become the alpha member of the pack. His over aggression can be a challenge thrown towards you to acquire the alpha position. Do not surrender your position to your dog. Successful and technical dog ownership demands you to be the leader of the pack. It is only if you are the alpha of your pack, that you can be successful in your attempts controlling your dogs. Retaining the alpha position of the pack doesn't mean you will yell at him. Remember... Yelling, punishing and hurting him doesn't work. Beating him or punishing him will cause fear-based aggression. Aggressive dog training, be it with German Shepherds or for any other breed, involves correcting measures without punishing him. Yelling and punishing your aggressive German Shepherd Dog will simply stimulate your dog's fear and increase his aggression.
Many people have been mailing me asking for suggestions about their aggressive GSD. Most of them have more than one dogs and they fight when they get to meet together. Sam's problem iss that his GSD tends to attack fearlessly his Labrador when they are given food at the same time. His trainer asked him to feed them separately. He said, now he has to pay double the charge paid to the one who walks his dogs, because he has to walk them separately. But this is not permanent solution! I am sure most people cannot afford to keep their dogs closed separately.
My suggestion to people like Sam would be simple...
Find out why your dogs are aggressive towards each other. Did you not socialize them during their puppy hood? Or do both of them need dominance? If you did not have socialized them properly, it was your fault. If they both are fighting your dominance, it's again your fault. Dogs are quite intelligent,. and can learn things throughout their life. take them to the external world. Allow them meet situations, and experience strangeness of the nature. I would suggest you take both your dogs together - and take them in an entirely new area, where they have never been to before. Strangeness of new places will mitigate their aggression towards each other. In a new area they won't be claiming their territory and position, because they know they are new there. Each of your dogs will need one another to form a team there. Well, by this I mean to say their sense of lack of confidence in a new place will make them look for each other's company. Make them play... let them be dead tired.
Next step is simple for experienced, but may be a bit tough for new owners.
Bring them home and now do not lock them in separate places. Take them along with you in your hall. They are tired, and need rest now. Make them lie in the same hall at two different corners. Provide them water in separate bowl. Be there yourself; keep an eye on both and try to maintain your position as an alpha of the pack of three - you and your two dogs. Do not too soft will giving them command. Say "NO" firmly, whenever required. Don't allow them to get on you.
My third very important suggestion...
Love them - but do not demonstrate preference - neither Rover over Rolley nor Rolley over Rover. The slightest demonstration of preference one over the other will make the other jealous, which will stimulate his aggression. Both of them should exercise together until they are tired. They should get the equal share of you love and touch. The aim is be at diminishing their jealousy towards each other.

The business cards are printed, the demo reels are burned, the portfolios are, well they're still being printed up—looks like Ottawa is 'round the corner, yes? Yes. The Ottawa International Animation Festival 2008 is happening this week, from September 17th to the 21st. This will be my fourth time to the Canadian capital, packing all my hoping-to-get-a-job materials with me. Even if I don't snag any gigs during my time there, I know that the networking will benefit me in the long run. (It better.)
I'm curious about the Animators For Hire event, wherein any jobseeker can get a short interview with various companies in the industry. Not sure how it's going to go for me, mainly because I'm probably a hard sell. Honestly, I'm not making it easy for myself: I mean, seriously? A former director who's been in the industry for 12 years, looking for freelance gigs because he'd rather stay in Portland? I'm not like these young kats, fresh, green and wet behind the ears, just itching to get their foot in the door and willing to move anywhere at the drop of a hat. Hopefully, my experience along with my quirky way of looking at things will win these potential employers over. That, along with my dashing good looks. Har har.
I do have the internet on my side. I know that many companies do, in fact, hire freelancers remotely, working back & forth via FedEx and/or ftp sites. Faster computers, faster servers, faster everything has made the World of Animation just a wee bit smaller nowadays. I plan on benefitting from this. (Actually, I have already.)
Oh yeah, I gotta mention this: I'll be moderating a panel on that Saturday, the 20th, called Animation Education Report Card. I've been on two panels before at Platform, but this'll be my first time acting as moderator. I'm actually quite psyched for it. In case you're too lazy clicking on the link, here's the panel specs for ya:
Saturday, September 20, 9:00 am, National Gallery - Lecture Hall
Get the inside scoop on how animation school curricula fares in the real world. Are institutions giving graduates the tools they need to survive and meet the needs of an ever-changing animation industry? Listen in on the debate with representatives from top schools and productions houses from Canada and the states.
Tom Knott, Laika Entertainment
J.J. Sedelmaier, President / Director, JJ Sedelmaier Productions, Inc.
Neil Hunter, Co-coordinator & Professor, Animation Program, Algonquin College - Animation
Leland Burke, Animation Area Coordinator, Massachusetts College of Art
Moderated By:
Ward Jenkins, Animation Director, Drawn!
To prepare for this panel, I thought I'd open the floor to you guys and see what sort of questions do you think I should ask? What should be addressed that you think is being largely overlooked? Is there anything that frustrates you about the current state of animation education, not to mention trying to get a job in the industry after graduation? Please feel free to ask away here, or send me a message via email (check my profile). They usually record panel discussions at OIAF, so there's a possibility that you can hear what we talk about at a later date. I'll keep you posted. If I like your question, I'll probably give a nod to you, if that's okay. Let me know otherwise.
For the OIAF schedule click here. I may do a follow up post here mentioning what screenings and panels I'll be checking out.
Two years ago on Drawn!, I did only one post on the festival. This year, I plan to do more. (I promise, John!)
So, yes....this week is about getting ready. Looking forward to it! Hope to see you there. If you are going, feel free to contact me and maybe we'll run into each other. I said 'maybe'.
Oh, and I prolly will tweet the entire time I'm there, too. Just so you know.

Electrons are tiny little particles that whizz around atoms, right? Well, kinda, but they're actually far better understood as waves. Wait, what? If that makes you stop and scratch your head don't worry! Just watch this video, and you'll know everything you need to about the exciting world of electrons.
Starting off with the best way to think about electrons, then exploring them as orbitals, how they fit into shells around atoms, and then dealing with concepts like ionization, this video does an amazing job of making a complex subject both entertaining and compelling. Go on, give it a watch. [YouTube]

In Kirtan Healing Rudra's Energy (Rudra Healing) is distributed to a group of people who are healed to experience serenity and bliss. The higher cosmic energy is invoked touching souls & calming minds.
Traditionally Kirtan is not chanting or singing. Kirtan has its roots in Vaishanav parivaar with a belief to devotional sing solely for Bal-Krishna. It is performed so that God Krishna can hear, enjoy and perform leelas (divine play); thereby us to experience trance-like state by internally feeling his leelas. Similarly, the objective of Kirtan healing is it is meant to be heard by one's inner-God to rejoice and embrace external-divinity. It came to be to ignite the higher power in oneself and to bring out the meditative and trance-like state. One can feel rejuvenated, re-calibrated, and totally absorbed in divinity.
Kirtan Healing is very unique. Unlike traditional kirtan chanting or mantra chanting, in order to go in trance state of mind you need to totally focus inwards in semi-meditative state without repeating chants with eyes closed as Rudraji brings the Supreme Divine Energy closer to you so you can see or feel in your desired form, a particular deity or colors.
At some point the Kirtan Healing would be paused while you are in meditative sleep really connected with the Divine Energy and feeling the warmth. Rudraji takes this opportunity to ensure everyone is feeling the Divine love & seek live higher guidance.
The art of performing Kirtan Healing is very dear to Rudraji. He loves to bring out the inner higher state for one to realize the divine potential and help them experience serenity. The magnitude with which he heals people in groups and row seeds of life transformation is very touching and satisfying experience.
What it feels like during Kirtan Healing?

Preaching patience, Butler eyes bigger leadership role
Royals designated hitter aims for more productive season after hard-luck 2013
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The way Billy Butler remembers his 2013 season, every time he hit the ball hard, the dog-gone thing went right at somebody.
"You have years like that. There are nine guys out there," he said.
Well, not everything that Butler hit got caught. After all, he did have a .289 average with 27 doubles, 15 home runs and 82 RBIs -- numbers most guys would be eager to emulate. But they were un-Butler-like. In his previous four seasons, Butler had averaged .306, 43 doubles, 20 homers and 93 RBIs.
"He's right in that upper level of right-handed hitters," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Your whole goal and focus when you get in the box is to hit the ball hard somewhere. You can't guide it. And he hits the ball hard."
And, in 2013, right at people a lot of the time. So what can you do about that?
"You've just got to keep refining your game, stay with your approach and refine it if you need to, and just keep hitting it hard and it'll find holes," Butler said.
"Some years you'll get more breaks than others. There are nine guys out there trying to get you out every time. The hardest hits sometimes are outs. Next thing you know, there's a little ball over the first baseman's head or the third baseman's head -- just over the infielder and just in front of the outfielder -- and that's the difference in a game sometimes. It's all about placement; all you can have is a good approach, that's all you can have."
Butler, a designated hitter who studies his craft as hard as he drives the ball, is spending these early days of Spring Training searching for that good approach. What's involved in that?
"Just staying behind the ball more, you just create a bat path that stays in the strike zone more to where if your timing's off a little bit you can still make solid contact. Let the ball travel as much as you can," he said. "The deeper the ball gets, the longer you can stay through it, and that's the hardest thing in Spring Training -- the ability to start trusting your hands. It's hard to go up there and hit 95 [mph] and just say trust it. It takes practice to get right into it. That's the reason we have Spring Training, that's why we don't come right out of the gates ready for the start of the season."
Until the Royals get into intrasquad games on Tuesday and Wednesday prior to Thursday's Cactus League opener against the Rangers, they're taking regular batting practice and also live batting practice against the pitching staff.
"You've got to start seeing it out of the hand, that's the big thing -- pitch recognition. That's what we're trying to get down right now," Butler said. "Where we start recognizing the difference between fastball, changeup, offspeed. Seeing it out of the hand, that's hard."
Even in the early games of Spring Training, in his view, the hitters aren't close to being ready. That's why there's an entire month of games before the first regular-season game at Detroit.
"It takes time, it really does. All of a sudden one day you've seen enough pitches and you start feeling comfortable," he said. "You just want to get to that level once Opening Day starts."
This year Butler figures to bat fourth, behind Eric Hosmer and ahead of Alex Gordon and Salvador Perez, with only the occasional break, such as when the Royals are without a DH in Interleague Play. Last year, Butler was in all 162 games, starting 157 (including seven at first base).
A few days ago, former team captain and current special assistant Mike Sweeney encouraged Butler to take a more forceful leadership role.
"I'm in the middle of the lineup and everybody's looking toward me and Alex to lead them -- that's on and off the field, that's in the clubhouse and everything," Butler said.
"I'm just now at 27 years old still figuring out [that] you're never going figure out the game but just understanding how things go, just caring for the guy next to you more than you care about yourself ... that's what it's all about, wanting the guy next to you to succeed because that's good for the team. That's good for everybody. It just makes the organization better. That's just what the organization expects out of guys like me that have been here a while and have had success -- just give life to everybody and give them energy."
Butler believes what he's learned on the home front, where he and Katie are raising daughters Kenley, 5, and Karsyn, 1, will be helpful.
"The biggest attribute to a leader is patience," he said. "I've got two girls at home, so I know patience."
Now if Butler can just be patient enough, perhaps those hard-hit balls will start finding holes again this year.
"In 2012, everything was going right," he said.
That was the season he pounded a career-high 29 home runs.
"They can't catch those," Butler said.

So, a few months ago I bought a 2008 KTM 690 Enduro with just under 13k on the clock. That's high-ish miles for a bike like this, and the guy I bought it from only had it for a year. Since this thing has a somewhat unknown history, some known potential failure points, and a future of hauling me deep into the wild, I figure a tear down is in order. I also have some goodies to throw at it during the rebuild phase. Goals are to ride the Washington Backcountry Route, and spend a couple weeks riding around Baja. Without further ado:
The bike, as purchased:
Added racks, and some aluminum boxes (not pictured).
Test riding :
The teardown:
Bottom of the fuel tank is seeping gas. Tank is at the back of the bike (removed in the above picture) and doubles as the subframe. This is where the fuel pump lives:
The fuel pump is a known failure point, so I'm going to see if it's been replaced or not, and source a new one if not. Will keep the old one as a spare.
Another known failure point is the rocker arms in the earlier motors. Will check part numbers when I get the head cover off the motor, and check valve clearances while I'm in there.
High pressure fuel line going to the injector was rubbing on the sharp threads of a protruding bolt. Previous owner wrapped the line with Gorilla Tape, which worked as a band-aid. I added the jam nut to cover the end of the thread, and put heavy wall heat shrink over the fuel line for protection.
These wires run too close to the exhaust head pipe (removed) for my liking. Common failure point on other bikes to get melted stator wires:
And now, the farkles!
Got the powered cradle for my Garmin Montana 680t installed on the bars. Will get it wired in and mount the audio jack once I get back to buttoning things up.
Ultra heavy duty tubes for pinch flat resistance:
Safari fuel tank, made in Australia. Doubles on board fuel capacity, and puts the weight at the front for better stability on a loaded bike:
Heated grips:
No pictures of the install, but they are a must for winter riding.
Will update thread with other good stuff as I get it installed!
Edit: Pictures are fixed.

This mirror was playfully named by the manufacturer the Ruji mirror after the Indonesian word for prison. The lines of the doors reminded him of the lines of a prison door and let's just say we really liked the name so we are sticking to it. Beautifully ornate this window is made out of mahogany and has beautiful designs carved into the back. We chose this mirror in many colors and we love all of them including this Glacier Grey finish.

StarCraft and Diablo maker Blizzard already has a World of Warcraft film in development with Spider-man director Sam Raimi. What might twist the arm of Blizzard's top creators to get a StarCraft movie underway? James Cameron might!
Rob Pardo, executive VP of game design at Blizzard, tells MTV Multiplayer that it's still seeking "the right partners" for projects beyond its WoW movie plans. But if the director of a few billion dollar-grossing movies were to come along...
"...It's really important to us that we find creative people that are really talented but also really excited about our properties," Pardo says. "I think if Jim Cameron came to us tomorrow and said, 'You want to make a 'StarCraft' movie?' we'd probably sign that." They probably really loved his work on Aquaman.
Cameron already has a full plate of projects post-Avatar. He's been working on a Battle Angel Alita adaptation forever, possibly more Avatar films and various other directorial projects. Of course, Blizzard still has two more StarCraft II expansions to pop out. While not much more than a hypothetical dream team name drop, everyone involved is pretty busy.
I'm sure our grandkids are gonna love it.

Tatiana Kostsevyat and Roman Sobolevskiy
Twenty-five years ago, we joined the network marketing business for the first time. In just four years, we became top leaders in one of the well-known American direct selling companies. It all happened because we were supported by giants of the network industry – John Kalanch, Tom Schreiter, Mark Yarnell, Sandy Elsberg and others.
Roman was actively translating their books and intensively promoted the principles and culture of Intelligent Network Marketing – honesty, mutual support and business ethics across a growing organisation.
When the company we worked at, was closed, we were invited to Nu Skin. We were attracted to Nu Skin because of its original and unique products, superior charismatic leader, Elena Schnevski and the classical model of well-paid and generous marketing plan.
In a good marketing or, as we call it Sales Compensation Plan, there is always an opportunity to help our partners and followers to feel the benefits of financial freedom. This opportunity became a dream come true in previous years and we found its continuation at Nu Skin.
This has always been and will always be our main motivation and goal. We attract people to Nu Skin every day and they become our partners and customers. The sense of responsibility for these people keeps us in tune and does not allow us to be discouraged.
We believe that the key components for success are inherent in the person themselves. Any difficulties and obstacles have no chance to win when you reveal key components in yourself through mentoring. Nothing can distract you on your way to success.
Clear goals, faith, regular actions and the ability to inspire are the basis for successful movement along the difficult path to success in the multi-level marketing industry. That was confirmed by our multiple years of impressive results in this sphere.
When you duplicate these basics, your organisation will grow and prosper quite quickly.
Personal success is always the sum of success generated within your team.
