Tonight I feast!
The Lending Rights mail came today! Huzzah lovely money for me based on the number of my books on the shelves in Australian libraries. This is always a lovely bonus each year, but it's such a slow turnaround I have to remind myself it's basically a report from two years earlier. All the work I did last year (and continue to do this year) to get my newer books out there won't be reflected until next year. Or even later. It's like that old shampoo commercial where the model said, 'It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.'
And it *is* happening.
What frippery should I splurge my hard-earned on, folks? Oh, silly me, I know what I'll spend it on . . . MORE BOOKS!

Having surprisingly been cut from the UFC roster, Sage Northcutt now finds himself a new home with Asian promotion, ONE Championship.
With a stable housing many top level fighters and recently acquiring former UFC flyweight and UFC lightweight champions Demetrious Johnson and Eddie Alvarez respectively, ONE Championship have secured another high level signing.
Having fought in the UFC for a total of 8 times, "Super" Sage Northcutt (11-2) found himself off the roster despite a three fight win streak and really showing his potential in the welterweight division.
Northcutt has been a polarising figure for both fighters and fans alike with many believing that the young man was being an unfair push having initially been signed on Dana White's 'Lookin' For A Fight' series.
There is no denying that Northcutt has improved significantly and the news of his departure from the UFC was met with confusion.
On Friday night, ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong broke the news via Twitter that Northcutt is officially signed up with the promotion.
There is no news yet as to when he is likely to fight but one thing is for certain is that ONE Championship are an organisation to watch out for in 2019.

Access to Coronial Information
The Chief Coroner has issued a Coronial Practice Direction in relation to access to coronial information. The important principles are:
- The Court 'owns' all coronial information and access is only by way of express coronial order or direction
- Coronial information is not commonly released while an investigation is ongoing
- Families are generally entitled to access all coronial information about a deceased person
- Post-mortem examination reports are not automatically released but can be obtained on request
- Copies of autopsy and scene photographs are not ordinarily released but arrangements can be made for viewing
- Owners of property damaged or destroyed by a disaster or fire the subject of an inquiry are generally entitled to access all coronial information about a deceased person
- Coronial information may be released to other parties if they can demonstrate a sufficient interest in the inquest or inquiry
FOI applications to the Police or other government agencies seeking access to coronial information will be automatically refused. See the Coronial Practice Direction for further information.

It's as well to be sceptical when someone issues a research report, especially during the silly season, which unsurprisingly seems to serve its own interests.
But if this report is to be believed, then almost one in five of the UK population is recently and actively blocking online ads. That's a lot and most people seem to agree (and observation confirms) that the figure is rising.
Previous generations of blockers, like porn-blockers purporting to enable parents to protect their kids from some of the abundant unsavoury things on the web, were clunky and hard to fathom and many people just gave up trying. By contrast, these ad blockers are extremely easy for people to access and use.
Yet people don't get out of bed in the morning thinking, "I must install an ad blocker today". So if that's the case, why are so many people installing and activating them?
- Could it be to avoid an irritating excess of ads on their screens?
- Or, frustration with the slower page loading speeds caused by too many rich media and video ads?
- Or, the autoplay videos that annoyingly seem to reproduce within the content the reader is seeking and trying to scroll through?
- Or, worse, because the uninvited download of the ads on their mobile devices uses up their personal data entitlements, forcing them to buy top-ups that are in turn depleted by yet more ads?
The last instance also challenges and overturns one of the most fundamental compacts between advertisers and viewers which underpins most advertising – that the hopefully high-quality professionally-curated content they seek is subsidised, if not entirely paid for, by the ads.
"Ah", you might say, "but these ads are targeted programmatically, so they'll all be of interest to their viewers". If only that were true.
But how clean and well-intentioned are the ad blockers themselves? Some allegedly do deals with big online players to allow their content to pass through, which many see as a modern-day form of extortion.
Each of the instances above is also compounded by ad fraud, the creation and sale of non-existent consumer eyeballs.
Much of the new and serious concern about ad fraud comes from the advertisers whose money is at risk, but first to start hurting will be the online publishers as that advertising money becomes more skittish and reverts to other, more trusted channels. Like telly.
Ad fraud is one of the most difficult challenges the new media industry has ever faced, because it's so easy to generate fraudulent impressions yet so tricky to identify and then avoid them.
Step forward the "content verification" companies who already offer identification of viewed and band-safe content.
And publishers, who will have to play a key role by helping inform the market not what is fraudulent but what is actually genuine.

It's a FABULOUS rental unit in the Mallard Lakes development in West Fenwick Island DE. Yeah, I'm biased, but just take a look at the photo gallery. Within Mallard Lakes, it's on the largest lake (a salt water, tidal pond) with a water view, including the wildlife sanctuary island. It's the top rental unit at Mallard Lakes. The herons wade along the edge of the lake to fish, and there are egrets, ducks and geese. Other rental units at Mallard Lakes are on the smaller "ponds" and they don't get the wildlife.
Well, duh?! Because it's SO peaceful there. In naming the "cottage," the feeling I have when I'm there is always how peaceful it is. Many renters also return year-after-year. That tells you something. The picture above is the view from the back yard and there are more photos in the album - but flicks don't do it justice. Being there on the porch overlooking the lake - there's a lot that's right in the world.
Mallard Lakes, a relaxing retreat two miles west of the ocean at the northern end of Ocean City, Maryland. From Mallard Lakes, you can walk to nearby Smitty McGee's for a drink and dinner. …Or head on into town, for the OCEAN, sandy beaches, the Boardwalk, and all that OC has to offer... bike rentals, cotton candy, or restaurants like Seacrets, Harpoon Hannas, Phillips & many others. Duffers should bring their "sticks" for the nearby golf courses. But before you rush off to town, check out Mallard Lakes. "The Casa" at Mallard Lakes is a fabulous shore rental. There are two swimming pools, a hot tub, three tennis courts, a tot-lot and playgrounds, basketball, shuffleboard and volleyball courts, exercise trails for walking or biking. Of course those amenities are included with your rental. The lakes offer fishing and crabbing, again it's all included. Also included is the "owners pass," for parking, pool and tennis courts. Some other vacation rentals do NOT include that which requires you to purchase a $85 weekly pass.
Leave your watch at home, get away to the shore... to a world of peaceful relaxation at the best mallard lakes rental

'Arrow' Confirms Version of Roy Harper That Colton Haynes Will Play in Season 7
The seventh season of Arrow still has a lot of unanswered questions surrounding it, but one element of the season is set in stone.
In a recent interview with TVLine, Arrow showrunner Beth Schwartz confirmed one detail about the return of Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) in Season 7. As she revealed, the iteration of Roy will "definitely" be the Earth-1 counterpart that has appeared on the show before, as opposed to some sort of new doppelganger.
Those involved with the world of Arrow have expressed a similar sort of sentiment before, but the official confirmation will surely make fans speculate. For one thing, there's no telling exactly how Roy's return will exactly come together, considering what happened when we last saw him on Arrow. As fans will remember, Roy agreed to travel the world finding the remaining Lazarus Pits with Thea Queen (Willa Holland) and Nyssa al Ghul (Katrina Law).
Roy Harper's return also comes to Arrow at a particularly interesting time, as Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) will be locked away in a SuperMax prison, leaving Team Arrow in a unique predicament. And it sounds like Roy's role in those overall proceedings will surprise some viewers.
"I got a call from Greg Berlanti, and he said 'Hey'." Haynes told ComicBook.com during San Diego Comic-Con. "I was shooting [American] Horror Story at the time. And he said 'If you want to come back, you're welcome to come back. We have a great idea.' And it's the craziest idea. Roy Harper's coming back in a way that no one is going to understand. It's amazing, and I was like 'I can't wait to be around my friends and my family!' And so I, of course, jumped at that opportunity."
Although Haynes kept the details relatively slim about exactly how Roy comes back, he did hint that it will be a genuine surprise to the show's fans, while also helping take Arrow back to its roots.
"You guys have no idea what's happening with Roy Harper." Haynes revealed. "It's a crazy storyline, I can say. It's nothing like he's been before. It's going to shock [so many people]. I'm shocked right now. It's going to shock a lot of people. Roy's not the same person. I can't say much, but we're returning back to our roots on the show. Not the characters, but the show — We're going back to how we were a couple of seasons ago. But it's going to just be so good. Beth Schwartz, our new show runner, is just — She's a dream. She's changing everything and she's making everything the way I think the show was at the beginning."
Are you excited to see Roy Harper return to the world of Arrow? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
The season seven premiere of Arrow, which is titled "Inmate 4587", will debut on Monday, October 15th, at 8/7c on The CW.

Westie Puppy TrainingAuthor: admin
October 22, 2010
Westie training can be very interesting when you go beyond basic obedience. Westie is designed to specifically test the natural instinct and working ability of small, short-legged terriers. The west highland white terrier was originally bred to control the population of vermin and other quarry, such as rats, foxes, otters, etc., that live in dens underground. Westie would go under the earth, find the den of the pest, bark to alert his owner of its whereabouts, who would then dig down to capture the animal.

The Flash: Invincible Synopsis Brings in Earth-2 Laurel Lance and Seemingly Confirms Wally's Powers
The CW has released the official synopsis for "Invincible," the upcoming May 17 episode of The Flash, which guest-stars Arrow's Katie Cassidy as Black Canary's Earth-2 counterpart, Black Siren.
Jesse Warn directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Brooke Roberts & David Kob.
The synopsis also says that Wally West will "take to the streets" to help The Flash, seemingly suggesting that our speculation about him getting powers in the next couple of episodes might be on point.
After Zoom (guest star Teddy Sears) unleashes an army of Earth-2 meta-humans on Central City, Barry (Grant Gustin) is shaken when he sees their leader is the Black Canary's Earth-2 doppelganger, the Black Siren (guest star Katie Cassidy). Meanwhile, Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) takes to the streets to help The Flash stop the meta-humans, which worries Joe (Jesse L. Martin). Iris (Candice Patton) and Henry (guest star John Wesley Shipp) are concerned about Barry taking on Zoom.

Immigrant stories: Coming to America
September 5, 20188 Views
Maisha Maliha was only five months old when she first came to America from Bangladesh. She traveled by plane for 13 hours, and first arrived to D.C, with her mom.
Since she was young, she did not have any memories of her own about coming here, but she remembers stories from what her mom told her.
"I remember my mom telling me that we had planned to land in New York, but it was the same day that the twin towers were knocked over," Maliha said.
It was unknown if other attacks were going to happen, so planes had to take a detour in order to keep the passengers safe.
"We ended up landing in Boston instead, and made our way down from there," Maliha said.
Her father was already a citizen in America, so when her parents married, the process of coming to America wasn't as complicated as it is for most people.
Once her and her mom had landed in Boston, Maliha then made her way to D.C. and began her life in America.
For some people, trying to fit in to a new surrounding can be hard to adapt to, but the situation was different for Maliha.
"Thankfully when I was in D.C., my school was relatively diverse already, so trying to fit in was not very hard for me," Maliha said.
Compared to schooling in Bangladesh, one major difference Maliha noticed was that teachers were the ones who would move around from class to class, as opposed to students moving around.
Since coming to America, Maliha has gone back to Bangladesh on two occasions.
"When I first went back to Bangladesh, I was 14 years old. It was to attend a bunch of weddings. Three of my cousins got married, and weddings in Bangladesh are a long process," Maliha said.
In Bangladesh, a typical wedding has three different events tied to it, which kept Maliha busy on her trip.
"In total, I ended up attending nine events in my two weeks there. I wasn't able to fully enjoy the country through, " Maliha said.
One main difference between America and Bangladesh that Maliha recalled was the traffic laws. Despite there being traffic lights in Bangladesh, little to no people would actually use them to navigate through the streets.
"When driving around in Bangladesh, there aren't distinguishable lines on the streets when driving, so people are just weaving around. It gets very dangerous," Maliha said.
In spite of that, she still would like to return to Bangladesh soon with her family if they go back again.
"I would love to be able to see my family again next summer, I miss my family back home," Maliha said.
After being in America for many years, Maliha is very thankful for the opportunities that she has here in America.
Senior Yabi Bereket has been on the A-blast for four years. This year, she is the International Editor and has previously been editor for the Lifestyles...

Masters of Microbes
Team of UM Scientists Brings Ocean Research Techniques to Flathead Lake
By Heather Fraley
UM Environmental Science and Natural Resource Journalism Intern
FLATHEAD LAKE — John Ranieri remembers standing in the back of a 200-foot-long ship one night and feeling a kind of solitude he had never felt before. As the sea breeze brushed his face, he realized that if he fell off the ship, he would never be found. He was spending a month at sea on the Pacific Ocean, on his first ever research cruise. There were no other ships for miles, and over 30 days the only land animal he saw was one forlorn bird.
Ranieri is a member of a research team based at the University of Montana's Flathead Lake Biological Station near Polson, Montana. He works for Associate Professor Matt Church, an oceanographer and aquatic scientist who studies microscopic life. Church came to UM's bio station from the University of Hawaii two years ago.
His Church Lab for Microbial Biogeochemistry and Ecology brings knowledge learned on the open ocean to Flathead Lake.
Church is among the leading researchers in ocean microbial ecology. His work is unique because he runs an oceanography lab that also does work on lakes. Most aquatic scientists work either on lakes or on oceans, creating two distinct camps of people, with little crossover.
"Ironically, many of the techniques or methodologies are directly transferable," Church says.
Some people in Church's lab have lake backgrounds and some have ocean backgrounds. They are finding that the "lake people" and the "ocean people" can learn a lot from one another.
Just as a ship in a bottle is a scaled-down version of a sea-going vessel, microbial research on the lake is somewhat like a scaled-down version of research on the ocean.
The lab's ocean sampling sites can be over three miles deep, vastly outstripping Flathead Lake's maximum depth of just under 400 feet. On the lake researchers use smaller boats, smaller research tools and far less cable.
One of the ocean research tools that the team is adapting for use in Flathead Lake will help them more efficiently collect water samples. The device, called a rosette, looks a little like a giant pack of dynamite. Several different cylindrical water collection tubes are positioned around a circular frame, and the computer in the device is programmed to close each tube at different depths. These tubes collect an important piece of data from the water: microbes.
Why Study Microbes?
Church studies microbes from the clear, cold water of Flathead Lake that can't be seen by the naked eye. These include bacteria and single-celled organisms from several other taxonomic groups. The microscopic community in a lake is vital to how a lake functions as a whole, but it hasn't been extensively studied in Flathead Lake.
Microbes are tiny but mighty. They are like invisible maintenance elves that keep the world running smoothly. They are found everywhere on the planet, including under the earth's crust, on human bodies and in the atmosphere. Microbes are biologically old, on Earth for over 3 billion years. They can persist in dark, pressure-filled environments, can recycle nutrients and form the very bottom of the food chain.
Microbes are responsible for making the Earth a place that can sustain life, and ocean microbes produce half the oxygen in the atmosphere.
"We would not be here if it weren't for microorganisms," Church says.
Ranieri, who is a research associate and functions as a jack-of-all-trades for the Church Lab, performs much of the lake fieldwork. He says that people historically have viewed zooplankton as the bottom of the food chain, but microbes are even further down the rungs of the ladder.
"Microbes are even smaller, and even less people care about them," Ranieri jokes. "But the zooplankton are eating those microbes. If we can understand what changes the microbial community and what nutrients they're able to recycle at different times of the year, then that is ultimately going to affect the zooplankton communities, and that's going to affect the fish communities."
Flathead Lake is a well-known recreational fishery, so anything affecting the fish is of broad interest to the residents and visitors, as well as to agency managers and scientists.
The Church Lab is looking at how the microbial communities in the lake work. To do this, researchers are using genetic techniques similar to those commonly used in ocean research. By analyzing the DNA in the water samples they collect, they look at which microbes are present where in the lake and how many there are at different depths during changing seasons.
Soon the researchers plan to start using metagenomics. Where genetic techniques look at specific genes of an organism, genomics look at the entire genetic profile of an organism — the compilation of all the genes — to decode what ecological functions that organism might perform.
Church's graduate student Kate Evans will be helping with this project. She loves using math and computer modeling. She also will work with a lot of long-term time series data.
Time Matters
One of the team's goals is to start tracking changes in the lake's microbial communities over time. The scientists will add their genetic and genomic data to the long-term Flathead Lake Monitoring Program ongoing since the late 70s. Evans is looking forward to modeling some of the long-term data to find out what's controlling certain patterns.
"There are a lot of really rigorous math ways that you can get into it that are often untapped," she says.
Long-term projects are particularly attractive to Church because they put new data into context and can generate future research questions. Church has been involved in another long-term monitoring project, the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program, where he served as the principal investigator, and his lab continues to conduct research as part of a project called Simons Collaboration on Ocean Processes and Ecology (SCOPE) at a time-series field site located 62 miles north of the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
What Does it Take to be an Ocean and Lake Researcher?
Joining Church's Lab is not for the faint of heart. All of the members are stress-tested on research adventures like ocean research cruises. Church calculates that he's spent a combined one year of his life on the open ocean, and he even met his wife, Holly, on an ocean research cruise. His longest research cruise — 48 days — was in the Antarctic.
"I encourage people who are working with me to go out to sea, and I think it's sort of a once-in-a-lifetime kind of opportunity," he says.
Church encouraged Ranieri to experience ocean research, and he has the perfect personality for it. Ranieri gives the sense that not much fazes him. He also possesses an important trait for surviving ocean cruises: a good sense of humor. (One of his running jokes is to steal one decoration per holiday from the office door of a particularly holiday-minded co-worker. His office nameplate now sports a shiny green shamrock and sparkling red heart).
Every member of the lab also has jaw-dropping amounts of research experience at the cutting edge of their fields.
Emma Wear is a postdoctoral researcher in Church's lab. Wear met Church at the University of Hawaii when she was working on her Ph.D. and took his microbial oceanography summer class. When Church moved from Hawaii to the Biological Station and advertised for postdocs, she immediately applied.
Wear just finished her first month-long ocean cruise with Church in June, funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, a private foundation interested in biological conservation.
This most recent cruise focused on the ecosystem at the very bottom of the ocean, known as the abyssal sea floor. Other than surface fishing, this ecosystem is virtually undisturbed by human activity. It's escaped dramatic alteration because it's so deep under the surface.
The goal of the research cruise was to catalogue the organisms present in the ecosystem before the start of some planned deep-sea mining. Wear catalogued manganese nodules. These are mysterious slow-forming growths of manganese and other metals packed together that grow at the rate of millimeters per millions of years.
Wear says that the thrill of discovery was part of what made the cruise so alluring for her. She's interested in how dissolved carbon like proteins and detritus from dead animals cycles in the water. Carbon cycling at the surface of the ocean is well-known because it's all based on sunlight, but what's less-known is what drives microbes in the deep ocean sediments where the sun doesn't reach.
While Wear usually samples surface water, this time she worked with sea-floor sediments.
The particular area the crew reached is remote in distance, as well as in depth. It took Church and Wear four days of continuous boat travel just to reach the sampling site.
"That's why it's a month-long cruise," says Wear. "By the time you get out there, you might as well stay there for a while."
Being on this ocean cruise presented some striking challenges for Wear.
For example, the frustrating part of sediment collection was that the sediments sometimes were too sandy to stay in the collection tube on the remotely operated unmanned underwater vehicle.
Wear would stay up at all hours collecting samples. Watching her precious sample fall out of the collection tube in the wee morning hours was frustrating.
"It's less funny at 3 o'clock in the morning," she says.
Another challenge that took some getting used to on a long-term cruise was the lack of space to walk. She usually walks her dog every day. On the boat there was really nowhere to go.
She also missed the color green.
"You don't see green things for a full month other than the salad bar," she says. "Then eventually the salad bar starts rotting and goes away. It's great being back here in the summer, because I get to see all the green stuff that I missed."
She agrees that there are parallels between ocean and lake research, and that an ocean background can make her that much more qualified to study lakes.
She says researchers are asking similar questions in both environments about microbial metabolism, and they are using some of the same techniques. Wear, who is an "ocean person," will be involved in the genomics research on Flathead Lake, while she continues to do work on the ocean following the cruise.
Trista Vick-Majors is another postdoc in Church's lab. She also met Church through his summer microbial oceanography class in Hawaii. She's overcome motion sickness to go on a two-week ocean cruise, but as a "lake person," the majority of her background lies in studying microbes in ice-covered Antarctic lakes.
During her Ph.D. research, she was part of a crew that did some of the first sampling of subglacial lake water. Her team used a giant hot water drill to put a hole through the Antarctic ice sheet and drop sampling gear 800 meters down to the water. Vick-Majors was among the first to definitively show that there were microbes in Antarctic subglacial lake water.
"There are plenty of them," she says with a smile, as she pours liquid into a graduated cylinder in the Bio Station lab.
Vick-Majors currently investigates if microbes are responsible for producing extra methane found in the water of Flathead Lake.
The lab's theory is that certain microbes in the lake can separate methyl groups from organic compounds to produce extra methane. Church has done research on this phenomenon in the ocean, and now he's finding it may apply in Flathead Lake as well. Vick-Majors is feeding lake microbes a compound called methylphosphonate and looking for production of methane.
Methane is thought to be produced exclusively by microbes growing without oxygen, but Flathead Lake is well-oxygenated. The possibility that methane is produced in well-oxygenated lake water is exciting. It opens up a whole new pathway of methane production.
Since methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, this research is important in the face of changing climate.
For Ranieri, working for Church has been a great experience. The ocean cruise made him feel like a real scientist straight off the Discovery Channel that he watched as a kid.
Part of the reason he came to the Flathead Lake Biological Station was to join a place full of opportunities for collaboration and innovation. His previous experience working on wildlife biology projects showed him how easy it can be to focus on one thing and not look at the other pieces of ecosystem. He enjoys the crossover between lake and ocean work.
"It's cool how much overlap there is," he says, "and how when you bring those two knowledge bases together, you can really understand a lot more about the lake in a faster time."

At Saturday's, league game at home to strugglers, Hermanstadt, Cluj manager Dan Petrescu rested every single player who started against Celtic last week. Whatever modest noises he makes in the media before tomorrow's game, Cluj are prepared to throw everything into beating Celtic.
They will arrive in Glasgow today planning to hit Celtic on the break, as they did in Romania on Wednesday. By contrast, Celtic have three days to recover from their comfortable win at Fir Park.
Neil Lennon called it right being critical of how Celtic opened against Motherwell on Saturday. At times, our passing and long-ball game were reminder of the early 90s. Fortunately, there was an ocean of talent to put things right.
Defensively there remains a lot of work to do. Straight from kick off, Motherwell sent a high ball towards Boli Bolingoli, almost certainly trying to put the new full back under pressure. Boli is no Kieran Tierney, but you and I have been here through discouraging early performances from Moussa Dembele and Virgil van Dijk, so we know to give the lad time, right?
The same goes for Christian Jullien. Since leaving Toulouse in May, the big centre half had played 106 minutes football before Motherwell. He was caught underneath the corner Motherwell scored their 91st minute consolation from – not a good look for a towering defender.
By that stage, fatigue would have been his biggest opponent. Earlier in the game, he looked composed, including when he made a decision to pass across the face of goal to Scott Bain. Both players will improve as they get up to speed.

Robinson's jersey number shows up in baseball's statistical history, too
ST. LOUIS — Jackie Robinson's jersey number, 42, holds a special place in major league baseball, for so many reasons.
"It was a turning point, for our game and our world," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said before his team hosted the Brewers on Wednesday.
MORE: 42 rare Jackie Robinson images from SN's archives | MLB must invest in next generation of African-Americans
For the seventh consecutive season, every player, manager, coach and umpire wore Robinson's 42 — without a name on the back — as a way to honor the baseball pioneer. April 15, of course, is the date in 1947 Robinson made his MLB debut, and his number was all over the field at all 15 games Wednesday.
The number 42 pops up all over baseball's statistical history, too.
For example, the all-time record for times caught stealing in one season is 42. That mark is held by Rickey Henderson, whose MLB-record 130 stolen bases is his slightly more well-known number for that 1982 season.
This might be stretching a bit, but in Robinson's MVP season of 1949, he hit an NL-best .342.
Other instances where 42 shows up:
— In 1909, the Pirates finished 110-42. In that same season, the Senators finished 42-110. No other team since 1900 has finished the season with exactly 42 losses. Two other teams have finished with exactly 42 wins, though. In 1942 (coincidentally), the Phillies finished 42-109, and the 1952 Pirates finished 42-112.
— Players have finished with exactly 42 doubles 119 times; players have finished with exactly 42 stolen bases 58 times.
— We've seen 36 seasons with a player finishing with exactly 42 home runs. Five players — Duke Snider, Alex Rodriguez, Jim Edmonds, Jim Thome and Shawn Green — have finished with 42 home runs in two different seasons.
— Three pre-1900 pitchers finished with exactly 42 wins. Bill Hutchinson of the Cubs accomplished that feat in 1890 and 1891 (he lost a total of 45 games in those two years).
— Only one pitcher, Will White of the Reds, has ever lost exactly 42 games (which is second all time). He did so in the 1880 season; Cincinnati was pretty awful that season, despite White's best efforts. He had a 2.14 ERA, but the Reds hit .224 as a team and finished 21-59-3.
— A couple more 42 notes for starting pitchers: We've seen 15 seasons with a pitcher recording 42 complete games. Only two — Ed Walsh in 1908 and George Mullin in 1904 — happened in the modern era (starting in 1900).
— In 1966, Denny McLain allowed 42 home runs, which is ninth all time (Bert Blyleven's 50 in 1986 is the record).
— Starting pitchers have recorded 165 seasons of allowing exactly 42 doubles. Only two pitchers — Ferguson Jenkins and Bob Tewksbury — have allowed exactly 42 doubles in three separate seasons.
— Closers have finished with exactly 42 saves 18 times, but Hall of Fame closer Bruce Sutter, who wore No. 42 with the Cubs, Cardinals and Braves, doesn't have one of those seasons. The closest he came was in 1984, when he saved 45 for St. Louis, before leaving for Atlanta in the offseason.

I am so excited to share a new find with you today – a brand new jewellery organiser that I really think may be the answer to all my jewellery organising woes – the Stackers jewellery wrap**.
I was lucky enough to be given a little money for Christmas this year from a couple of people, and as such I decided to go out and treat myself. All too often I don't do this and end up spending it on things I need rather than treats – so I was on a mission!.
When I found this jewellery organiser I just had to have it: –
I have been looking for an organised solution for my jewellery for a while now – and so I knew exactly what I wanted…
– – – – – – – – – –
What was the issue I had to fix?
My main annoyances with my jewellery were as follows: –
- I have a lot of long necklaces and find it really hard to keep them from tangling up in a regular jewellery box when at home, and taking them away on holiday with me usually means a few hours of untangling them however I try and keep them separate. I usually therefore only take one or two to keep things easier, which isn't ideal. My current fixes were to hang them on hooks on my wardrobe door when at home, and roll them up with my t-shirts when I travelled.
- I can never find a jewellery travel case that has the right sort of compartments for my needs – I rarely wear earrings, but have loads of dress jewellery necklaces and bracelets, and I like to wear lots of different ones, so need quite a lot of space in whatever I choose.
- I want something that looks nice as well – especially as I love neutral colours. (I always think that getting products that you love using will make you use them more as well!).
– – – – – – – – – –
Why do I like the jewellery wrap so much?
The wrap itself looks great when closed up, like an oversized clutch really: –
and when you open it up there is loads of space and room for your jewellery: –
If you look at the picture above you can see that there are 3 lengths of velcro on the wrap. The way this organiser works so well is that you can take off any of the compartments and move them around – they all simply attach to the velcro lengths – so you can create an organiser that works perfectly for what you want to store.
The other bonus is that if you don't need certain areas, then you simply take them off and don't use them.
The velcro means it's really easy to put each item onto the wrap : –
There are several different types of organiser given within the wrap (and I think you can buy more if needed separately), hooks for bracelets and necklaces – an earring organiser with holes in – a ring organiser that you simply slip rings over (could also be used for bracelets I've found) – and a zip up pouch for all the little bits and bobs: –
As you can see from the next picture – there is a large hook at the top of the wrap so you can simply hook onto the back of a door when you are travelling and have everything within easy reach.
You can also see that there are flaps of fabric on each side of the wrap, which means that nothing falls out of the sides when it is wrapped up – so everything is really secure.
It looks and feels gorgeous – makes me want to use it even more! – I'm a little smitten!
– – – – – – – – – –
So, now I have added the jewellery wrap** to the hooks on my wardrobe door. I keep my longer necklaces permanently hung there which works really well, and use the ring organiser for some of my chunkier bracelets that don't fit into my jewellery box.
When I travel anywhere I simply add in everything I need, wrap it up and pack it. Once I am there I unwrap and hang on a hook wherever I am staying.
So much easier and quicker I'm sure you'll agree!
– – – – – – – – – –
If you want to grab your own wrap then you'll find it on Amazon HERE**, or you can also see it and purchase from John Lewis HERE** (although at time of writing it is more expensive from John Lewis so please ensure you get the best price you can).
Note – it isn't a cheap item at all, but I felt that it was something that would work so well for my jewellery needs both at home and when travelling that it was worth the treat (and it was for Christmas really!). It makes sense to me sometimes to buy exactly the right product rather than making do with 2 or 3 separate solutions that don't work as well and may total the same amount in the end anyway.

BUCKS COUNTY, PA (CBS) — A Bucks County community held a vigil as they mourned the loss of four young men, whose disappearance and killings led law officials on a days-long hunt to find out just what happened.
Hundreds of people gathered around the Garden of Reflection in Lower Makefield Sunday night, to remember Mark R. Sturgis, Thomas Meo, Dean Finocchiaro, and Jimi Patrick.
"It's sad that something like this is what's going to have to bring us together, but that's kind of why we build communities like we do. Because we know when there's times like this, when we need each other, that we're always there because of the bond we made," said Connor Grabowski
Although their was a somber tone in the air, the Vigil was all about hope.
Valerie A. Mihalek, who helped organize the vigil, says the people of lower makefield are there for the families in their time of need.
"Even though, right now, it is the darkest hour for them, in time, through the help of this loving community, they will once again somehow feel the light," she said.
The night featured singing, poems, prayers, and a candle lighting as the community joined together as one to pay respects to the young men.

Nurse Sandra – Classicpluz
If You Missed Any Episode (Click Here)
Episode 18
Getting up from the chair, Meka eagerly followed the
Hot nurse into her room. Quickly slipping out of her
dress, Sandra threw her deliciously Unclad body onto
the bed.
"Hurry up and get your clothes off," she giggled,
writhing on her back while she suggestively rubbed her
hotly drooling Kittycat with her fingers.
Looking down at her as he stripped, Meka was
completely fascinated by the size of her big lust-
swollen bosoms. Her breasts looked so deliciously firm
as they thrust out from her chest. The wildest thing
about them was the size of her big rock-hard Tips
capping her huge areolas. The thick mounds were
covered with little pin-sized goose bumps. It was
exciting to see those big goosebump areolas so
deliciously capped with her fantastically hard Tips.
"God, those are beautiful bosoms," he whispered.
"I'm glad you like them," she said. "Because this is the
hottest pair of Bosom in town."
Intrigued by seeing her deliciously Unclad body again,
his eyes drifted down to her cute hot Kittycat where he
could see her hot juices oozing out from between her
slippery pink Kittycat-lips. God, he could hardly wait to
sink his rooster into a girl's Bleep-hole for the very first
"Hurry, honey," she whispered when he dropped his
shorts. "I want that beautiful big Joystick."
Looking at him through half-closed eyes, Sandy
excitedly watched him crawl up between her wantonly
spread legs. The sight of his big swollen rooster-head
moving up toward her quivering Kittycat sent waves of
burning excitement flaming through her loins.
"Hurry, sweetheart," she whispered, her entire body
quivering with anticipation.
This was only a teenager's Joystick, but it was the
hardest, most exciting Joystick she'd ever seen. God,
how she was looking forward to giving this kid his very
first Bleep.
"Honey," she whispered, seeing the hungry expression
on his face as he gazed at her hotly oozing Kittycat.
"Why don't you eat me out for a minute?"
Deeply inhaling the pungent aroma of her fragrant
crotch, he quickly buried his face in the deliciously
warm wetness between her open thighs. Slurping like a
starving man, Meka began frantically licking the
beautiful nurse's sweet juicy Kittycat. God, how fresh
and clean it tasted as his tongue drilled up through her
warm slippery Bleep-hole.
"Oh, darling!" she squealed with delight, "that feels so
fuckin' good!"
Just like the other night, the feel of her hot juices
gushing out onto his slavering tongue was driving him
crazy. Sucking and slurping on her tender flesh, Meka
was thrusting his thick tongue as far up her Well as it
would reach.
"Suck, honey, suck!" she sobbed, screwing her hot wet
Kittycat up tighter against his ravishing mouth.
After deeply tongue-Bleeping her hole for several wild
moments, he moved his mouth higher up her slit and
sucked her trembling clit in between his lips. "Oh, poo!"
screamed. Sandra. "That's so good … so good

Here's a weekly glance at the four-round, elimination-style Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs that make a stop at Texas Motor Speedway for Sunday's AAA Texas 500, the middle race of the Round of 8.
Brief recaps of the Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series Playoffs also are included as both series will compete at Texas as part of the NASCAR Playoffs tripleheader weekend. The NCWTS Round of 6 Playoff race is Friday night's JAG Metals 350 and the Xfinity Series Round of 8 Playoff race is Saturday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 300.
Playoff Field: The eight-driver field competing in the three-race Round of 8 consists of defending series champion Martin Truex Jr. of Furniture Row Racing; Chase Elliott of Hendrick Motorsports; Joey Logano of Team Penske; 2014 champ Kevin Harvick, 2004 champ Kurt Busch, Clint Bowyer and Aric Almirola of Stewart-Haas Racing; and 2015 series champ Kyle Busch of Joe Gibbs Racing.
Race Recap: Logano dominated Sunday's First Data 500 at Martinsville Speedway, but it still took a bump-and-run move of race leader Truex Jr. on the final lap to secure the win and an automatic berth in the Championship 4 title race.
Logano led 309 of the 500 laps, but found himself in a dramatic side-by-side battle with Truex Jr. in the waning laps. Truex Jr. finally wrestled the lead from Logano on the penultimate lap, but the Team Penske driver pulled a bump-and-run move in Turns 3 and 4 that caused contact and near calamity as the two cars locked together as they approached the finish line.
Logano hung on for the win while Truex Jr. fell to third after being edged out by Denny Hamlin following the contact.
"Some are going to like it and haters are going to hate a little bit, but I'm a hard racer," said Logano, who collected his second win of the season and first since April at Talladega. "I don't think that's a secret to anyone. We're here to win a championship this year."
You can count Truex Jr. among the haters of that move.
"I was next to him for six laps," Truex Jr. said. "I never knocked him out of the way. We were going to race hard for it in my book. I cleared him fair and square. We weren't even banging doors for me to pass him. He just drove into the back of me and knocked me out of the way. It's short-track racing, but what goes around comes around."
Countered Logano: "We raced hard there. He raced really clean, and I laid the bumper to him, so I don't expect him to be happy. We had to do what we've got to do, and maybe there's something he's got to do, and we'll hash it out, I'm sure, one way or another. But that was our shot. It may be our only shot, so we had to make it happen."
While Logano has secured a Championship 4 berth and Truex Jr. looking to do the same in the next two races, the defending series champ is not going to forget the way Logano raced him anytime soon.
"He may have won the battle, but he ain't winning the damn war," Truex Jr. said. "That's it. I'm not letting him – I'm going to win the championship."
Four other NASCAR Playoff contenders joined Logano and Truex Jr. among the top 10 with Kyle Busch finishing fourth, Kurt Busch sixth, Elliott seventh and Harvick 10th. Almirola and Bowyer, the other two contenders in the Round of 8, finished 11th and 21st, respectively.
Click https://goo.gl/wFLgdy for the race recap at NASCAR.com.
How They Stand: With the victory, Logano has secured one of the four berths in the Championship 4 title race at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, Nov. 18. A victory in a Round of 8 race by a championship-contending driver advances him to the Championship 4 finale and the remaining positions to advance are based off points earned in those three races. Four more drivers will be eliminated from championship contention following the Round of 8. The points following Martinsville have Kyle Busch (+46 above cutline), Truex Jr. (+25) and Harvick (+25) above the cutline. Below the cutline are Kurt Busch (-25), Elliott (-31), Bowyer (-42) and Almirola (-50).
Next Up: The Round of 8 moves to Texas Motor Speedway for Sunday's AAA Texas 500 (2 p.m. CT, TV: NBC Sports Network, Radio: PRN, SiriusXM, 95.9 FM The Ranch locally).
Coming Soon: The Round of 8 concludes Sunday, Nov. 11, with the Can-Am 500 at ISM Raceway in Phoenix (1:30 p.m. CT, TV: NBC, Radio: SiriusXM, MRN). Phoenix serves as the elimination race to determine which four drivers will head to the Ford EcoBoost 400 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, Nov. 19, (TV: NBC, Radio: SiriusXM, MRN) to vie for the series championship.
Xfinity Series Playoff Update: The series was idle this past weekend and returns to action with Saturday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 300 at Texas Motor Speedway (3:30 p.m. CT, TV: NBC Sports Network, Radio: PRN, SiriusXM). John Hunter Nemechek, a non-playoff contender, won the Round of 8 opener at Kansas so all four championship berths remain available. The four drivers currently above the cutline are Elliott Sadler (+14 better than fifth place), Daniel Hemric (+13), Tyler Reddick (+11) and Christopher Bell (+1). They are followed by Matt Tifft (-1 back of fourth), Justin Allgaier (-5), Cole Custer (-23) and Austin Cindric (-43).
Camping World Truck Series Playoff Update: Johnny Sauter won Saturday's Texas Roadhouse 200 at Martinsville Speedway to earn an automatic berth in the NCWTS Championship 4 title race. Sauter was dominant in the Round of 6 opener as he led 148 of 200 laps and swept the race stages for his sixth win of the season. Playoff contender Brett Moffitt finished second while fellow contenders Justin Haley (6th) and Noah Gragson (7th) secured top-10 finishes. Sauter has locked in one of the four championship berths with Gragson (+24), Moffitt (+15) and Grant Enfinger (+2) currently above the cutline. Justin Haley is two below the cutline and Matt Crafton is 10.The series heads to Texas Motor Speedway, which will play host to the second of three Round of 6 races on Friday with the JAG Metals 350 (7:30 p.m. CT, TV: FOX Sports 1, Radio: MRN).
Note-While the championship fields are reduced by virtue of elimination in each of the rounds, each race continues to have a full field competin

Andre is one of the new dogs I walk each day. He's a Great Pyranese, which are originally from Spain, and used as guard and herding dogs. He's huge, pure white, with a long, fluffy, fluffy, fluffy coat. A delightful creature. He has a beautiful face. Big, bright eyes and a well sized snout, a large pink nose speckled with black. Loads of drool, but I do my best to see beyond the slime. Gentility is a quality of the breed, and he exemplifies it fully. If he was a person, he'd be Mr.Darcy- after we found out he wasn't a jerk.
As we were walking today, I took pause to pet his huge face, and look into his eyes. I already thought them beautiful, but I looked closely I was taken aback in wonder. They're a honey-brown on the outside, and closer to the pupil they become a mystical teal, though it wasn't just the ethereal blend of colour which affected me. I was met with a sense of depth akin to that of galaxies, and an ancientness I had otherwise only ever imagined. I was looking into another world, another consciousness, somewhere ancient and powerful- a place that exists in all of us, if we seek to awaken it.
It was quite the moment.

How the tax overhaul expands 529 benefits
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Our weekly roundup of tax-related investment strategies and news your clients may be thinking about.
529 plans are hotter than tax overhaul
The newly passed tax law has capped deductions for state and local taxes and made tax-advantaged 529 college savings plans more attractive for investors, according to this article from the Wall Street Journal. The law also allows 529 plan holders to make tax-free withdrawals for elementary and secondary school expenses. "The recent tax changes expanded the benefits for 529 plans, which are already highly popular with middle- and upper-income families," an analyst says.
Optimal strategies when rebalancing client portfolios
Clients are advised to account for taxes when rebalancing their portfolio, according to this article from USA Today. They are advised to mind the wash rule when selling losses in their taxable accounts. Another tax-efficient strategy is to park tax-exempt municipal bonds in taxable accounts and tax-sensitive funds, such as high-yield funds, in IRAs or tax-advantaged accounts.

Ideas to trim your clients' income tax bills
Under the new tax law, seniors who are 70 1/2 and older have the option of donating some funds directly from their tax-deferred accounts to a charity, according to this Washington Post article. This strategy allows these clients to count the donation towards their required minimum distributions but exclude the amount from their taxable income, avoiding the tax bill in the process. Another option is to donate through a donor-advised fund with a plan to time and determine the amount of the donation is important to optimize the benefit.
3 worst states for taxes on retirees
Minnesota, Connecticut and Kansas rank at the top of the country's least tax-friendly states for retirees, according to this Kiplinger article. These three impose the heftiest taxes on Social Security benefits and retirement income. Retirees who live in these states also face taxes on estates and inheritances, and levy high property taxes.
IRA or 401(k): Which is better in 2018?
Clients may be better off maxing out their 401(k) contributions this year to qualify for their employer's match, according to this Motley Fool article. They may also opt to direct money to an IRA if they have reached the maximum 401(k) contribution limit, or if their 401(k) plan offers low-quality investment options. Unlike in 401(k) plans where contributions are counted for the year they are made, clients can still contribute to an IRA until April 17 and have the contributions deducted from their 2017 taxable income.

Today I was chatting with my colleague Ochani Lele (who will be appearing on Wyrd Ways Radio on June 5), author of "Sacrificial Ceremonies of Santeria: A Complete Guide to the Rituals and Practices," "Diloggun Tales of the Natural World," and several other books. We were discussing our respective Holy Powers when he asked me a question that made me stop and, after answering it, ask him if he'd mind me using it as a question here. During the course of our conversation, he said to me:
"You know . . . having Jewish blood, I've always been a bit afraid of Norse religion. Just out of curiosity, how do you think your gods would react to someone with Jewish blood taking up their worship? Would they respond? Would they accept? What about an African, or an African American? How would the Norse gods respond to such a person? Are they beyond racial boundaries, like the Orishas? I'm assuming they would be . . . but assumptions often get me in trouble. What are your thoughts on that?"...

Refutation of the 'Satanic Verses Incident' used to undermine Qur'anic authenticty
Today we are finding that some of the 'Islamic reformers' are using the old arguments of the orientalists to push their agendas. This article refutes one such argument. The story which we have summarized in the beginning suggests that Muhammad(P) did not realize his fault until God admonished him six years later and that the matter was rectified perhaps another two and a half years after. In the meantime the Muslims were supposedly asking Allat, Manat and Uzza for intercession! Had the genuine state of affairs truly been this ridiculous, it would have been impossible for Muhammad(P) to have maintained such a loyal following.

text: Our People – Jim Grandan "The only constant is change." Though he heard these words from Michael Cooper nearly 20 years ago, Jim Grandan remembers them as though they were spoken just last week. That's not surprising considering that, in all the years he has worked at Dream – he joined Markborough Properties in 1989 and Dundee Developments acquired the company in 1997 – nothing has been truer. Jim has worked with the same core team for over 20 years, but in the meantime the company has grown and the team has adapted, taking in new people and taking on new challenges. Jim plays his role once land has been acquired, at which point he directs the detailed subdivision and engineering design and gets approvals from cities on the company's proposed plans. He is then involved with the construction process of these plans. "No two developments are the same," he explains, unable to hide his obvious passion for his job. "We're always dealing with different challenges. Yes, we build lots for the homes, but we look past that and think of the residents who will eventually buy from the homebuilder. You get a great sense of accomplishment from creating a place that you would like to live in yourself." Jim Grandan VP, Development and General Manager Dream Development, Calgary Jim takes pride in feeling that his role is at the heart of the company's purpose to build better communities. Through feedback from residents, both positive and negative, "we've developed a feel for what future residents look for in their community and we look to integrate that in our design so we can literally build better communities where people will be happy." He and his team are focused on creating new communities that will exceed expectations, and on improving current communities. For example, about a year after the 2013 Alberta floods, it was brought to the attention of Jim and his team that the Dream community of Montrose, in High River, was still feeling the after-effects of the floods and that damages were not being taken care of as quickly as planned: the community was, thankfully, not as badly impacted as other areas of High River, which also meant they were lower on the town's list of priorities. With that in mind, Jim joined other Dream employees, some homebuilders, and about 40 residents of the community for a "Renewal Day": together, they set about fixing the special features of the neighbourhood that were starting to look shabby, planted new shrubs, got loam and bark mulch delivered, picked up the garbage and arranged for dumpsters for residents who still needed to dispose of damaged items from their houses. All that work was done in one day, and Jim has a very simple way of explaining not only that day, but also his last 25 years: "I wouldn't be here if I didn't like what I do. Back
