Business-to-business sales posted below average results in October, according to an index tracking those sales, marking the latest bump in a string of volatile months.
The Billtrust B2B Sales Index, based on customer invoices of the Hamilton Township-based Billtrust Inc., posted a gain of 0.4 percent in October, about half the average monthly gain of the past three years.
Arthur Ferri, a financial economist and Billtrust consultant who manages the survey, said the sales gain wasn't backed by broad increases in other categories, suggesting overall growth is uneven rather than robust. For instance, invoice counts rose 0.5 percent among participating businesses, but customer counts declined 0.1 percent.
"All things being equal, it would be great if everything were growing, but that's not what we're seeing," Ferri said.
The index is based on invoice data from industries including hardware, plumbing, heating equipment, electrical goods, building supply and other wholesale clients whose bills are handled by Billtrust. Firms in the index are selected on the basis of low sales volatility.
On average, each firm surveyed sends 11,000 invoices per month to 1,500 customers. The firms in the index generate total invoice amounts of $17 billion annually.
In October, the index's total score was 104.3, up from a September reading of about 103.9. Ferri said the average monthly gain has been near 0.8 percent the last three years.
The latest results followed an erratic summer that saw plummeting activity in June and July followed by inconsistent rebounds. Ferri said the volatile results likely mirror trends in new home construction, which have also been erratic since summer.
"If that sector is much more volatile, it's more likely that contractors' business is more volatile, and that makes the business of suppliers more volatile," said Ferri, formerly an associate professor in the finance and economics division of Columbia Business School.
October was also the month of the government shutdown and Congressional brinksmanship over the debt limit, though Ferri said no hard evidence in the report traced any decline to that disruption.
Either way, the results don't suggest strong growth in the coming months. Ferri said survey data tend to align closely with national gross domestic product growth.

Best Flashmob Videos from Around the World, Cultural Flash Mobs...
It's Friday and time for some fun!
On Fridays I often post something playful or creative to start our weekend off right.
I thought these videos of flash mobs from around the world really great -- they made me want to get up and dance :)) And they create great stories to share! Just imagine the stories people will share about their experience participating or watching.
Storytelling is a creative expression -- and I love flash mobs as a creative expression of people: the singing, dancing, choreography, the element of surprise, and the sheer joy that's involved. Grass roots art -- and that's what storytelling has always been, too. Let's celebrate that also, this Thanksgiving weekend!
Having recently participated in the flash mob dinner event Diner en Blanc here in San Diego, I can tell you what a hoot flash mobs are.
My favorite video here is the one from Mumbai, India. The NYC one is OK but too orchestrated for me. But I do love the images from the event -- they are really cool.
Jeanne Melanson @empowerhere sent the link to me, thinking I'd like to curate it. She was right! Thank you Jeanne.
Enjoy these videos and get your dancing shoes on for the weekend!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Matthew Clowes of Concordia (Ore.) has been selected as the NAIA National Men's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week and Kale Wolken of Doane (Neb.) has been named the NAIA National Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Clowes and Wolken were selected based on their performances from April 14-20.
Clowes, a junior from Stoke-on-Trent, England, earned his second-straight NAIA National Men's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week award after breaking the school record and recording an NAIA-best mark in the 800 meters at the 20th Annual Beach Invitational on April 19 in Norwalk, Calif. His time of 1:50.16 narrowly surpassed the previous school record of 1:50.57 and Southern Oregon runner Eric Avila's prior NAIA-best time of 1:50.89. Clowes finished second among the 132-man field at the Beach Invitational to Nathanael Litwiller of NCAA Division I Sacramento State (Calif.), who ran a 1:50.04. Clowes also recorded a 3:45.35 in the 1,500 meters at the Mt. San Antonio College Relays on April 18 in Walnut, Calif.—just over a second off of his newly-minted school record of 3:44.14 in the event. The time was good enough for third in the event behind Martin Casse (3:44.92) of NCAA Division I Texas-Pan American and Matthew Fayers (3:45.09) of NCAA Division I Oklahoma State.
With Clowes' second-straight selection as the NAIA National Men's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week, the Cavaliers have now had an award winner in each of the first six weeks of the season.
Wolken, a sophomore from Tecumseh, Neb., posted the NAIA's top mark in the decathlon, while also setting a school record in the event, at the Doane Relays on April 19 in Crete, Neb. Wolken's 7,204 points bested the 16-man field and surpassed the previous school record of 7,195 set by 2013 NAIA champion Rob Keeney. To achieve the score, Wolken posted the fastest time or top mark in 8-of-10 events including the 100 meters (11.21), 400 meters, (49.98), 110 meter hurdles (15.32), high jump (1.93 meters, 6.33 feet), long jump (7.14 meters, 23.43 feet), shot put (12.47 meters, 40.91 feet), discus throw (35.95 meters, 111.38 feet) and javelin throw (55.35 meters, 181.59 feet). Wolken finished second in the pole vault (4.57 meters, 14.99) and fourth in the 1,500 meters (5:08.93).

A group of Furman University graduates who have gone on to become prominent scholars in their fields will return to campus this week to participate in a two-day symposium that will honor religion professor John Shelley on the eve of his retirement from the Furman faculty.
A group of Furman University graduates who have gone on to become prominent scholars in their fields will return to campus this week to participate in a two-day symposium that will honor religion professor John Shelley on the eve of his retirement from the Furman faculty.
A Symposium on Theology and Society: In Celebration of the Teaching Career of Dr. John C. Shelley will take place today and Saturday. All lectures, which are free, are held in Daniel Chapel.
Shelley, who will retire from the faculty at the end of the current school year, has taught at Furman since 1980.
The symposium will begin at 3:15 p.m. today with three mini-lectures on Why Biblical Theology Matters and conclude Saturday at 11 a.m. with three mini-lectures on Theology and Society.
Among the featured speakers are Greenville natives Dr. Warren Kinghorn, a 1997 Furman graduate who teaches at both the medical school and the divinity school at Duke University, and Dr. Karen Guth, a 2001 graduate who is an associate professor of theology at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minn.
Other Furman graduates speaking in the symposium are Bryan Bibb (1994), associate professor of religion at Furman; Donald Polaski (1986), visiting assistant professor of religious studies at the College of William and Mary; Sandra Hack Polaski (1987), an independent scholar from Richmond, Va.; Melissa Snarr (1992), associate dean and associate professor of ethics and society at Vanderbilt Divinity School; Leanna Kelley Fuller (1996), assistant professor of pastoral care at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary; and the Rev. LeDayne McLeese Polaski (1989), program coordinator for Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America.
Kinghorn will speak Friday at 8 p.m. on the topic of Controlling Bodies: Theology and the Moral Context of Medicine.
In addition to his teaching duties at Duke, Kinghorn is a staff psychiatrist at Durham's VA Medical Center, where part of his research concerns moral issues related to the treatment of PTSD in veterans. He graduated from Wade Hampton High School before attending Furman. He received an M.D. from Harvard Medical School and the Th.D. in Ethics from Duke Divinity School.
Guth will speak Saturday at 11 a.m. on Christianity in Public Life: A Feminist Analysis of Recent Political Theologies. A graduate of Travelers Rest High School and Furman, she holds master's degrees from both the University of Glasgow and Harvard Divinity School and earned her Ph.D. from the University of Virginia.

Ford 9″ Locker Install (Part 3)
|One very important step that you must do is mark everything. If you don't mark things you will probably have to take your diff to someone to get it "setup" again.
We marked the bearing caps (different marks on each side). The caps are not interchangeable so don't cut corners by marking them the same. We then marked the adjusters so we would know where the adjustment locker needed to end up.
Once we had everything marked we removed the adjuster locks. Now we removed the bearing caps. Now slide (or tap) the adjuster up and out and remove the bearing race on the ring gear side. Mark the outside of the race so you can tell which side it goes to. Now remove the differential case and ring gear assembly.
|This next section had us wishing we had an impact wrench. It's time to remove the ring gear bolts. We tried the brass mallet idea but it just didn't cut it. We ended up using 2 wrenches, one to hold the ring gear assembly from rotating and the other with a cheater bar to break the bolts free. With all the bolts removed you need to remove the case cap (ring gear). The instructions say you may need to pry it up. We found a piece of wood with a hammer made short work of it. This whole last section of removing the bolts and the cap took us almost 2 hours (so much for being done in 3 hours).
Now we remove the pinion shaft retaining pins and remove the pinion shafts, spider gears, side gears, and the shaft block. We marked the side gear that was in the top of the case with a tag so we could put in the bottom of the case when we were done (as per Powertrax instructions).

AMC Theatres® and Geneva Centre for Autism to Host Sensory Friendly Films®
AMC Theatres (AMC) and Geneva Centre for Autism have teamed up to bring families affected by autism and other disabilities and sensory issues a special opportunity to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis. .
Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disability that affects a person's ability to communicate and interact with others. It often comes with sensory challenges, such as hypersensitivity to light or sound, and children or adults affected by autism may not understand the social boundaries of movie theatre etiquette, such as not talking during the film or sitting still through most of the show.
In order to provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for children with autism or other special needs, AMC movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up and the sound turned down, families will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free snacks, and no previews or advertisements will be shown before the movie. Additionally, audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing - in other words, AMC's "Silence is Golden®" policy will not be enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned. Tickets can be purchased on the day of the event.
It is estimated that 1 in 110 children in Canada are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. The most recent epidemiological studies suggest that the rate of autism has increased from four cases per 10,000 to 95 cases per 10,000.
Headquartered in Kansas City, Mo., AMC Entertainment Inc. is a leading theatrical exhibition and entertainment company. With a history of industry leadership and innovation dating back to 1920, the company today serves hundreds of millions of guests annually through interests in 364 theatres with 5,196 screens in five countries. www.amctheatres.com
We are a multi-service agency providing direct intervention services to children and families in the Toronto Area and providing training and consultation services to parents, professionals and other service providers across Ontario and Canada. www.autism.net

More than 53,000 Utah State University students, faculty, staff, friends, alumni, corporations and foundations gathered together over the course of the campaign to make various contributions ranging from in-kind gifts to multi-million dollar donations. Collectively these donors have made a monumental impact on the university forever changing the course of its future as a flagship land-grant research institution. The donations impacted USU's presence throughout the state and allowed it to increase its offerings in education, teach students in better-equipped facilities and to hire and retain the best faculty and researchers in the nation.
Several donors and their impact on the campaign's success became newsworthy and made headlines over the years. Some of these included:
And while several donations became news, cumulatively, it was the thousands of smaller donations over the years that made a big difference. Utah State University employees, faculty and administrators gave back to the institution in increasing numbers despite the tough economic climate. The funds were used to help students pay tuition and travel to special events, upgrade classrooms and labs and purchase additional library resources.
USU students have also added to the campaign's success. The senior gift tradition, started in 1909, continues to raise funds from USU seniors who want to contribute to a commemorative project dedicated to their year of graduation. Various projects over the years have included a bench on Old Main Hill, a study room in the library and the USU sign at the entrance to campus on 400 North.
Friends and alumni of the university have also contributed in various ways to the campaign. From high-dollar gifts to in-kind donations, friends and alumni rallied around the cause. USU alum and President and CEO of Nike Charlie Denson lent his Nike artistic gurus to help USU Athletics create a new logo unveiled in April 2012. In 2007, the USU Museum of Anthropology was the recipient of a stone figurine from the estate of Lyman S. and Vivian B. Willardson. The rare figure benefits the USU students who use the collection for study and interpretive exhibits and also benefits the many students who come to the museum on field trips to learn from exhibits. Vernal resident Bob Williams donated a large amount of land to USU in 2008 for what is now the USU Uintah Basin campus.
Corporations also saw the value of investing in Utah State University. Several local and national corporations ranging from Zions Bank to Alliant Techsystems to Micron have donated to the cause, boosting the campaign's overall success.

Look Who's Gaining Market Share
April 26, 206
In its post-earnings release conference call last week, Intel noted that it had held the line with regard to market segment share losses to AMD. Then, yesterday AMD issued a release noting that its share of the market for processors used in x86 servers reached 22.1 percent in Q1, up from 16.4 percent in the prior quarter. What's a market analyst to do? It's little wonder our forecasts are of dubious quality, when we cannot even agree on what has already occurred.
In a prior life we were responsible for tallying the processors used in computing applications. We learned first hand how difficult and error-prone this data collection process can be. Neither those who make the chips nor those who buy them have much motivation to report their sales and purchases accurately to the organizations that collect and publish market statistics. Sometimes the suppliers just don't know. Intel, for example, cannot tell whether a Pentium processor that leaves its shipping dock ends up in a desktop system or a low-end uniprocessor server. AMD sees similar crossovers between Opterons designated for uniprocessor servers (the 1XX series) and desktop-targeted Athlon64X2's.
More importantly, measurements of unit market share as opposed to dollar market share can vary greatly. Given their high fixed cost structures, semiconductor manufacturers often focus on unit share, since higher unit volumes correlate with higher factory utilization and greater overhead absorption. But in the end, it's the dollar share that really matters. Fortunately, most manufacturers break out revenues by market segment. Although this data lacks the detail published by the market data firms, and totally omits unit volume information, the numbers that do get reported tend to be more accurate, since they appear in audited financial statements.
With this in mind, we calculated AMD's dollar share of the microprocessor market over the past thirteen quarters. Our methodology includes all of Intel's MPU revenues, including Itanium and Xscale chips as well as its x86 lines, but the former disappear in the rounding errors of the latter. Two facts from this analysis jumped out at us. First, AMD's dollar share of the x86 processor market increased by 210 basis points between Q4/2005 and Q1/2006. Second, AMD's dollar share has increased in eleven of the past thirteen quarters, and broke through the 10 percent barrier in Q2/2005. We cannot recall a prior period when AMD's dollar share of this market exceeded 10 percent. Even during the days when AMD's youthful 32-bit Athlon processor attained a unit share of almost 21 percent, AMD's ASP and mix kept its dollar share in the single digits. The dollar share shift over the past five quarters is truly unprecedented in this market segment, and highlights the challenge Intel faces as it brings its next generation products to market in the second half of the year.

Spring Kiki
Added Mar 25, 2010
by rifka
Denver, Colorado...
Burda Style's Kiki. I was surprised to see more didn't take on this pattern. I've been looking for the right opportunity to make a nautical inspired dress and when I came across the second posting of this dress "Kiki Black & White Dress" , I was instantly drawn to it. The shape is so feminine and sweet.
This pattern had a lot more details than any other I've made so far. The button loops on the back took quite some time for me to perfect. I hope to see more versions of this dress from others.
Material Notes
Cotton Swiss dot ( found second hand) and red striped cotton with very light stretch.

Hello Rifka,
Your kiki dress looks very beautiful, you did a great job. I'd need some help though. I really tried to understand the intructions but maybe my english is not good enough. I made the top and bottom of the fabric and lining. The top is assembled with the lining. I am putting together the lining of the bottom and I can't figure out how the lining of the top and the bottom joins, if they join. The lining of the top is shorter and as a consequence, if I stich the lining, the back of the top will be loose :/
If you can help me that would be awesome, Thank you very much,

Hello – It's been awhile since I made this dress, but I believe I assembled the top and bottom lining pieces together prior to sewing them into the dress. If I remember correctly, the lining is virtually the same pattern pieces as the outer dress so they should match up the same way without being shorter or more loose. The dress does sit rather loose on my shoulders and not as taut as it could be at the back. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance to you. I would love to see your completed project. Good luck!

This is super cute! I just came across this pattern, and hope to make a version of it in the nearby future. Great job!

I loved the black and white version too and I have bought the pattern and do intend to make it, it is super cute and your version is a great choice for the nautical look, you've done a really good job and sounds like you learn't some new skills to add to your sewing CV along the way :) I am still looking for the right fabric for my version, I hope they eventually post the fabric split for top and skirt parts.

I made a size 38, using 1yard of 56" fabric for the skirt. I wasn't paying too much attention to the amount of fabric for the top since I was using fabric found from a thrift shop, but I would estimate 2 yards to be sufficient. Can't wait to see your version!

Looks great! I really like your take on the pattern :)

Sherry, as every self-respecting food and drink hipster knows, has moved on from granny Christmas tipple: sherry bars such as Pepito in Kings Cross hum to orders of 'Fino' and 'Make that a PX'. There is a range of sherries; from dry, citrusy and light 'Fino' to heavy, syrupy, raisin-hued 'Christmas in a glass' Pedro Ximenez or 'PX'.
In between those two extremes, we start with the 100% Palomino grape sherries: Vina AB, Alfonso, Leonor then Del Delque (aged 30 years) then moving towards more sweetness we add different amounts of PX grape: Apostoles (13% PX), Matusalem and Solera 1847 (25% PX), and lastly Noe and Nectar (100% PX). The last is basically pudding rather than a drink.

BLISSFIELD — After learning the ropes as a teenager working in the family businesses and then running his own operation in Adrian, Jack Wilson has opened a new business in Blissfield doing what he does best: locksmithing and car detailing work.
Wilson opened Blissfield Lock & Detail, located at 610 W. Adrian St., late last year. His daughter Ashley co-owns the business and handles the bookkeeping in addition to delivering vehicles for him.
While the idea of combining locksmithing and detailing may seem a bit unusual, to Wilson the basic idea is nothing new. His father owned ABC Lock and Key in Detroit and the West End Car Wash, as well as Adrian A1 Lock and Key and A1 Detailing, and Wilson went into the family businesses at age 14.
And to him, being diversified makes good business sense.
"Locksmithing helps me get through the off-season," he said. "Most people don't detail their cars in the wintertime."
He learned his twin trades from working in the family business and, in the case of locksmithing, from correspondence classes as well. But "these days there's a lot more to (being a locksmith)" than when he started out, with all the newer technologies like electronic locks on vehicles.
Much of Wilson's locksmithing work involves vehicle lock-outs, re-keying business locks, installing deadbolts on homes, repairing vehicles' power-window assemblies and even re-doing combinations on safes. When it comes to the detailing side of his business, he works both with individuals and with many of the area's automotive dealers. And the latter, he said, taught him a great deal about doing the job right.
"You learn a lot by working on detailing a dealer's cars," he said. "They have to be perfect."
Wilson said he has really enjoyed moving to Blissfield and opening a business there. "Blissfield is a nice little town," he said, "and there's lots going on here." He also wants to do his part to support the local community by doing things like providing gift certificates for school events.
And in the months since Blissfield Lock & Detail opened, "business has gone really, really good," he said. "I actually wasn't prepared."
At some point, he even plans to expand his menu of detailing options by opening a drive-through so customers can simply pull in and get their vehicles cleaned.
Wilson's business hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. He can be reached at 486-0486.

Michael Douglas is determined not to let his battle with cancer stop him from strolling the red carpet at next week's premiere of "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps."
"That's the plan," the acting icon's publicist, Allen Burry, told Popeater. "But we're literally going day-to-day as to know how much he can do."
Douglas is nearly halfway through a two-month chemotherapy regimen. Last month, he appeared on David Letterman's "Late Show" and said the treatment "knocks you out really hard." But his latest role, reprising the Gordon Gekko role he made famous nearly 25 years ago, has him motivated, said Burry.
"He would like to attend the premiere and show his support for the movie," Burry said. "He knows that's part of the job and he's proud of the movie."

Capri Chic: Design Ideas from the Capri Tiberio Palace
Last month, my hairdresser told me she will be sailing around Elba with friends in August. Last weekend, my aunt showed us photos of her recent trip to Lucca. Two nights ago, I stumbled across these gorgeous photos of the Capri Tibierio Palace on the island of Capri. Stories of Italian travel seem to be everywhere lately. While I'm not going there myself, it may just inspire me to pour some limoncello, steal a few decorating ideas from Capri, and daydream about Italian summers.
The Capri Tiberios is located near the famed La Piazzetta, at the heart of the island. Formerly owned by Marriott, it was bought by a new owner a few years ago and was redecorated by designer Giampiero Panepinto. The design is pretty, modern, and breezy — perfect for a luxe vacation or for a minor redesign in your own home.
- Sick of muted, modern interiors? Go bold. This room is full of bright colors, but it looks fresh and chic, rather than overwhelming. If you've never decorated with intense hues before, follow the hotel's lead and stick to one bold pattern in a room of solid-colored pieces.
- Have a big wall and a tiny budget? Buy something inexpensive in multiples and hang them in evenly-spaced rows. Here, a few rows of Borsalino hats do the trick.
- One bold color paired with gold almost always looks good. It's been popular in fashion for a while now, and it will add a dose of glamour to your house. A blue wall with a brass sconce, a pink couch with gold-accented pillows, a white dresser topped with a bold vase — it's an easy combo to use creatively.
- Conversely, if you want to add some color, but still love muted hues, try pastels. The ones in this room look pretty, rather than saccharine.
- Fill an awkward space with that wallpaper you've been eyeing and a few artsy mirrors. The pattern will look cool, and the mirrors will help expand the space.

Dickey, Blue Jays knocked around by Astros
HOUSTON -- The toughest part of the Blue Jays' three-city road trip was expected to be in Boston or New York. Instead, it turned out to be here in Houston.
Toronto easily took its series vs. the Red Sox and Yankees but after winning six games in a row, the club hit a road block. The Astros might be inexperienced, but they're proving to be a talented and resilient squad.View Full Game Coverage
HOUSTON -- The toughest part of the Blue Jays' three-city road trip was expected to be in Boston or New York. Instead, it turned out to be here in Houston.
Toronto easily took its series vs. the Red Sox and Yankees but after winning six games in a row, the club hit a road block. The Astros might be inexperienced, but they're proving to be a talented and resilient squad.View Full Game Coverage
R.A. Dickey allowed five runs over seven-plus innings and the Blue Jays were outplayed in every facet of the game during an 8-2 loss on Saturday night at Minute Maid Park.
"They play with passion over there, a bunch of young talented kids that it means something to," manager John Gibbons said. "They took it to us."
The final score is rather deceiving because the Blue Jays were down two runs when pinch-hitter Juan Francisco stepped to the plate in the eighth inning. Toronto then thought it had a brand new ballgame as Francisco lifted a deep fly ball to right field with a runner on.
The game looked like it was about to be tied, until all of a sudden, right fielder Robbie Grossman tracked the ball down and perfectly timed his jump to make a highlight-reel catch. The spectacular grab was one of several plays that Houston made which will probably end up on the plays of the week in both Canada and the United States.
In addition to Grossman's grab, L.J. Hoes jumped into the seats down the left-field line to record an out in the ninth. One inning earlier, Jon Singleton put the crowd on its feet with an inside-the-park homer. It was textbook baseball all around for the Astros and instead of being active participants, the Blue Jays found themselves helpless bystanders.
"It will take the wind out of you when you think you've tied the game up," Blue Jays catcher Josh Thole said. "But he made a great play so hats off to him. What a great catch, going into the stands and get it. It's frustrating, but those are the things you try to overcome."
For the second consecutive game, Toronto's offense struck early with one run in the first but then seemed to disappear. Jose Bautista did add an RBI double in the third, but the Blue Jays went without a hit for the final five innings of the game.
Houston left-hander Brett Oberholtzer was a big reason. The 25-year-old scattered six hits and one walk, while striking out five over seven strong innings to pick up his fourth victory. Michael Foltynewicz, Tony Sipp and Paul Clemens closed things out with two scoreless innings.
Toronto entered play on Friday with at least four runs in 10 consecutive games, but it has now scored three over the past 18 innings.
"You have a chance to open it up, instead of one run in that first inning, didn't happen," Gibbons said. "We've been playing good baseball, that's the way the game goes, ups and downs. We need to come out tomorrow and hopefully [Marcus Stroman's] on like he has been all year and then walk out of here with a win."
Dickey entered the All-Star break on a roll, but he has now allowed at least four runs in three of his past four starts. A lot of those issues are related to the home run as he's surrendered four over the previous 27 innings.
The night didn't start off well as Dickey allowed two runs in the first inning, but he then found a way to settle in until the fifth. That's when Dickey created his own problems by making a pickoff attempt of Jose Altuve at first base. Dickey's throw was low, a little off target and bounced away from first baseman Danny Valencia.
Altuve was cruising into third when Valencia made an ill-advised decision to throw across the diamond. That throw was in the dirt as well and got away from infielder Steve Tolleson. Altuve jogged home as Houston took a 3-2 lead. Chris Carter made it 4-2 a couple of batters later when he crushed his 22nd home run of the season.
It stayed 4-2 until the Blue Jays came unglued in the bottom of the eighth inning. Dickey opened the inning by allowing an opposite-field single to Carter. Left-hander Brett Cecil entered and promptly gave up a two-run homer to Jason Castro.
Two batters later, Jon Singleton hit one off the wall in right-center field. Anthony Gose misplayed the ball and fell down as it ricocheted off the wall. Singleton kept running and was almost to third base by the time Gose retrieved the ball. Gose made a perfect throw into the infield and after the ball was relayed home, Singleton was called out on a close play at home.
Houston challenged and the call on the field was overturned. Singleton was credited with Houston's first inside-the-park homer since Jose Altuve did it on Aug. 20, 2011.
All in all, it was a rough night for the Blue Jays.
"They played spectacular defense," Dickey said. "They did a nice job of hitting some tough pitches, Altuve in particular, on the inning that he scored. That was a good knuckleball that he hit and there was some other hits that they got on good pitches.
"Some nights you have to tip your cap, give them credit and learn from what you did poorly and attack the next outing."

I have a small collection of turtle ornaments on a book-case. I relate to them, seeing myself personifying some of their characteristics – slow, steady and self-deprecating to a fault, able to withdraw, when threatened, to my own delusional safety.
Someone once told me that five bucks in your pocket often makes the difference between a good and a bad day. I would just add that it's important to discern what's best to do with it.
This is a good day. I refilled prescriptions, overdue by a month, the self-deprivation of which I know from experience may have already done me harm. Going without them, both mood and HIV-related, has been a strain, one which I have not shared. I find fault in myself without even trying.
My auto-correct will rightly call this "awkward phrasing":
Had I not needed to pay off a pay-per-view bill (self-centered shame involved) that was through the roof, at least in part because of being without my bipolar II meds (self-centered stigma even mentioning that), I would have felt better. It is probably for this same reason, and a decrease in food intake (fitting the stereotype of those who make choices between medicine, food and, in my case, $9.99 pay-per-view movies), that I lost about twelve pounds since I was last weighed two months ago – still 6′ 3″" (1.9m) tall, of course, but now just 130 lbs. (58 kg) for a BMI of 16.2 (underweight being anything below 18.5). How my blood-work has been affected has yet to be revealed.
The first thing I did this morning, pay-day, was go out for a Subway breakfast sandwich (far too salty!) before picking up my prescriptions. (Nothing for breakfast was available at home.)
It's a chicken-or-egg riddle – being without money which caused me to withdraw treatment of my mental and physical health or a lack of untreated mental health which caused me to be care-free about money. 'Twas ever thus, except I have had enough repeat experience to know that one begets the other.
I have begun to track my every expense as a first step in budgeting.
Writing this has been a detached, left-brain exercise. Maybe if I read it enough I'll begin to feel it.

Some state lawmakers don't want to pay for police officers or sheriff's deputies at schools, so they want to arm teachers and other school employees instead.
Some state lawmakers don't want to pay for police officers or sheriff's deputies at schools, so they want to arm teachers and other school employees instead.
It's a terrible idea on many levels.
HB 1097, which passed its first vote 10-3 in the K-12 Subcommittee on March 27, would allow principals to designate one or more school employees to carry concealed weapons. The designated employees would be required to complete private security guard and statewide firearms training.
The legislation is in response to the shooting massacre at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school in December. Bill co-sponsor Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, said that schools have become targets because they're gun-free zones.
So is he more comfortable with schools becoming free-fire zones?
The problem with gun violence is not because of too few guns, but too many. Yet passing reasonable gun legislation apparently is impossible in Florida. Instead, we're supposed to accept the idea that there are so many guns on the street already that we might as well just arm everybody down to kindergarten teachers.
Never mind the collateral damage resulting from shootouts between teachers and perceived assailants.
If the state Legislature finds that all public schools should have armed protection, those charged with defending the schools should be fully trained police officers or sheriff's deputies, sworn to duty with such an agency.
Proponents of HB 1097 don't want the state to have to fund that. Instead, they want guns accessible to teachers. An unintended consequence is that they also could end up in the hands of students.
What's the lesson for children? That everyone should carry a gun?
Maybe some gun-rights proponents would be OK with that. But a better lesson would be that there's a place for guns, but not in classrooms.

David LaChapelle Sued for $3 Million by Gallerist
A Montana gallerist has sued David LaChapelle for $3 million dollars, alleging the photographer attacked him in his Manhattan apartment on March 9, 2012.
The suit, filed yesterday by James Parmenter in Manhattan Supreme Court, alleges that in the middle of the night, LaChapelle threw Permanter around his apartment, choked him "nearly to the point of unconsciousness,†then threw him out into the street. He is suing LaChapelle for assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He is seeking a minimum of $1 million for each cause of action.
Parmenter is the director of Bigfork Collaborations in Bigfork, Montana. According to an article in a local newspaper, the gallery space was funded by Fred Torres, a gallerist and LaChapelle's former manager. In December 2012, LaChapelle filed a lawsuit against Torres, claiming that Torres owed him more than $2.8 million from the sales of of LaChapelle's works and from a personal loan.
In the suit filed yesterday, Permanter claims that he is still experiencing physical and emotional difficulties as a result of the assault.

Chan -- here in studio at stadium -- thanks for coming over this morning first off and this year time has always. Everybody wants to know about the last play of first did you get a chance to look back at the the game and review everything. No I have not. I looked at did look at the last play. Legacy you know what happened on that 'cause I figured I'd get asked when you show so when Batman that that's only play a look at the whole ballgame what happened the last -- Well Maine and that we had it was more of our plays to try to get the ball you know in millions only had. Three gash running toward the end zone and man. Day. It's one of those where. It's a judgment call for the receiver to go deep or go in front and it was a gray area and it's a rookie and -- I can't tell I didn't ask kids. Betty thank you going across his face Saturday thank you -- behind -- and and it's just who is. It was a gray haired dude Aston about two or three yards state in the end zone and L rookie Michael flatter angle of -- -- Michael flatter angle in front of amen. 88 if they sell I'd like. Ike TJ deity might keep it at the same and try to go behind me and and -- over the top -- -- -- And publish it out of abroad may actually Bobby should be given the given in the different different look different throw to cut. -- that you knew you wouldn't want looking back you would wanna get TJ the I'll read -- you more more about a concrete -- idea yet right. Yet not and I give him the gray area and that. And and you know and give some better option tougher for people. On the field. What -- that the timeouts with the injuries how much did it affect what you -- -- called some plays differently oh yeah I am looking cholera strain you can call that you can dump it down underneath and -- -- try to run with that you can. You can even run. And you can run the CA and seeking get them there so. And it makes him a lot of difference. What she did. There's no gray area in the rule book I mean like I clearly Donald Jones of Fred Jackson were not faking injuries I know -- the rule isn't yet -- you you know you fake an injury stop the clock in fact that's I think some of from the Steelers. Which is was fine maybe a week or two ago correcting an injury -- there's no gray area no interpretation for the officials anything nothing. Nets and and they'll put that judgment on the official religion and real Andrea it's not -- entry. Talk about -- Patrick game because it kind of was like the Tennessee game -- I thought he played better yesterday that it did against Tennessee he plays this good game. But at the end of the day he you know he gets nailed with a critical interception. Yeah and yeah I hate it for I -- -- for him because. Eat each make him he throws forty times in the -- Basically one bad throw and that's what everybody remembers and a -- hate it for him. And you know it we just. We just gotta I gotta help him flee if we have that now and if symbolic -- candies -- all -- that but. -- just would like to not put him in that situation. That often used only knew it then -- -- not fair to him to Satan. -- go -- the big play. To come back to have to win the game every week it's. He's played such a -- get get us there we got a -- take that pressure often meaning don't play from behind all the time don't price rumba. And in not haven't. They'll be able to run the ball -- fourth quarter only need to end if we got to leave you know. All that stuff we just we got to get better overall and and where we're capable which is not very. Yeah I think to me -- the frustrating part yesterday was Fitzpatrick plays well your running game players willing to put up 31 points in New England but the defense give a 37 and that reminded me of the Tennessee game as well they dating getting takeaways the only forced couple punch yesterday and they again at some issues on third down and couldn't get off the field. And a is -- played better in the second half and and that was encouraging but. -- the turnovers. Thank you only turn it over and get -- I don't know 1520 yard touchdown. Drive there to hear people certainly got the ball the thirteen and -- thing you know that. And then. -- -- one drive there where they were they drove it eighty yards and had. Thirteen total yards off in two or something like penalties were 65 the chargers and yards as the drive in. So -- This little things like that that we got to try Adam. It would have to avoid with -- Get the word. Make a run at all we gotta we gotta more dollars -- Beating back this a missed opportunities like Scott Mckelvin -- it's on the same dryly yeah that -- -- -- -- -- -- ends up getting three points and then try and early in the gang you pick one off like dad who knows what happens it might change a whole momentum of the game and you take lead into halftime and and the price that -- -- -- -- and you -- again. -- Gailey was here at Ralph Wilson Stadium all right I know there's only so much you can or can't say about penalties because the -- I guess we'll find -- but. But that some of them sticky tacky. All I guess so I mean I've had people tell me that but I don't know I'd like a set much of films so don't you know don't look at the film -- Yeah I was yelling at the TVC -- -- Debbie Allen at the screen here I probably will and then. That thing about it is. I don't want Brett always too many brain cells on those gas cause I can control. All you can do is all you needed now and and what we gotta go take care our business and hopefully. The officiating department takes care of their business. I get some of them I mean I mean there -- you know guys were pocketed jerseys we asked about the the Gilmore jam on Lloyd. -- I wasn't sure about news yet because the balls in the air you can't touch the guy at the one yard line at the -- when the ball's in the air. The one pass interference with the -- untouchable I mean I got out of all the fourteen penalties. Honestly that's the one -- right but you gotta be kidding me that's what the ball beneath it and couldn't get on the TV screen in the replay. And -- so far out of bounds death that one and a long before it. Where that is it probably stuck in my -- little bit. Channel this year injury the report forget about that he had I guess Fred would be the main. Read them namely Dan that I don't know. He feels today he was not feeling well last night. -- applying coming home. So we'll see how he feels. Today in that give us a better idea he may or may not feel good enough. To play on the short week he might be good on normal weight but only short week you might not be rating you look look out hole when he went down how I united asking that I don't think anybody it was said he wise that didn't hear that anywhere -- that's. I think sometimes to to -- bailiff AR with a look like. It was an elbow to the head -- or form whatever and it looked like when he at the ground he was -- -- it has not been determined as a concussion. They they said concussion like symptoms. So I don't know you know whatever those they do they do this whole battery of tests now. -- they run the gamut to make sure the guys okay. Hit the fumbles not necessarily that I mean -- period ahead astute new ball make him out but. Yet another fumble in the game yesterday fumbled against doing informally as -- Arizona which is not like him to know that many fumbles are you concerned. I don't know I don't wanna say concerned but. It certainly uncharacteristic. I mean if there's one guy you said hey. I depend on this got one out walk out on the field. Do all everything right the winning game it's Fred Jackson do you trust set out with with everything. And so I think. Everybody area every coach every player is shot that there's two that we've had two -- three -- the issue. It's hard against the find a bone to pick on a day when you put 31 points up on the board offensively but that's my job. CJ got was very effective yesterday he had thirteen touches but he had ten yards on the average for all of those touches. More can deal look back and say you wish you -- more touches on the never tell me that's all good things were happening now about the threat wasn't doing that he was still. The thing we've got we've got a lot of weapons and that's the good thing is that was staged pretty good and Scotch and -- pretty good and Donald Donald Jones is coming home -- Fred to pretty good player so the -- Hill and an -- I don't I don't disagree with what you're saying -- and is CJ is a dynamic player I agree with that. I think sometimes when you start to force issues too much. And then ye that's where you get into problems. We design things for any home. We design things for Fred. And I had the way I look at it is if you combined the tailback position. That's. What the production is at that position so really what you say -- -- is. Do we delete Fred on the bench more and play CJ -- And that's always the question which which one is which. At one point and you bend at the two of them had worked out the rotation it was gonna be every two series I think you are is it's still that way it's and it's. Go more -- feel now with Kurdish the running back coach if if Fred goes a long series and then CJ goes in and it's three and out then CJ might go back. We're trying to keep -- where we don't beat them both they'll -- one -- more than another round ball game. -- try to balance it out but again. There's certain place where we put we put certain people in there who agree would you suggest that if you gave the ball the CJ. What you're saying a moment ago too much that the numbers wouldn't be -- that. That part of the reason that he has so much success is the function is the way that you build -- the offense -- think that I think that to them. We. The reason. He gets he we try to balance it out as much -- -- some weeks I think he'll have more touches another week Fred may have more touches. That's not by design. That's just the way it happens in the game sometimes. Which are likely need to run it in that situation and friend happens to be in there if we feel like -- in there might. We got a screen call down they both runs grange will they've both run the ball well so. No we don't make that much disparity in some of those things that they're someplace that we do well CJ and therefore there's someplace we duo of Fred and therefore so. I just think that it is going to work out as time goes home that. As some some guys wanna get more room. Some days get more in his -- you may not be an issue at all analyst for the right can't go -- -- that was my next question it did you think it. Could it ever get to a point it could could CJ. Do enough maybe over the course of maybe maybe Thursday if Fred tickle me over the course of a season where you know you can eat you want balance but just think. You know to Aqua balance I gotta get this got -- balls many times as possible yes could come that is sure -- and is just like last year where.

Greetings Delmar;
Yes, I can mail to you in Norway. Today I shipped parcels of the Hindi oudh (and included gift vials of blue, white & pink absolutes) that went to Canada, Australia & the U.S. This is a not for profit thing for me; this is not how I earn a living. I bought 79 grams of this traditional Hindi oil from Tajul Bakshi (he's an honest distiller in Assam who lives in New Delhi) and I'm selling it at my cost of 33 USD a gram. I'm also mailing out all three gram purchases in one of Oriscent's thin gold bottles (new and unused) until I run out of them.
Thanks for your interest and let me know if you're interested, I can send it out tomorrow. Thank you John,
michael marullo

I've just bought one of these and I must say I love it.
I just wondered whether or not any other members have any knowledge about lens compatibility?
Reading the reviews before I bought mine, I was under the impression that all Pentax compatible K mount lenses would work (although not necessarily with full electronic function)
I have a Sirius MC 80-200mm auto zoom that I was hoping would tide me over until I could afford to buy original equipment. It fits the camera body perfectly but I just get 'AV....' flashing by way of a reading and the camera will not operate.
At risk of sounding like a techno-tard here (I do have my moments), am I missing something here? Is there an override function I have not grasped or is this lens simply no good for this camera?
If it is not then I am in the market for a new zoom - any pointers folks?
Any help would be appreciated

December 1
It would be too easy to combine these two days; if you eat a Red Apple Pie, you'd enjoy both National Pie Day and Eat A Red Apple Day. If you really must split both, just know that eating an apple does not cancel out the caloric intake of a pie.
December 2
… and then take your pie leftovers andfry them for National Fritters Day. Apple fritters are delicious, and with a little culinary work, could conceivably be crafted from apple pie leftovers. Try anything in the kitchen.
December 3
… and bring out another pie for National Apple Pie Day. Seriously, these three days in a row are set up for pie crusts and pies. If you were smart, you can just have some more of December 1st's red apple pie.
December 4
At least you'll be able to enjoy a cookie for National Cookie Day. That's a good start to a break from pie and pie ingredients.
December 5
As you celebrate the Repeal of Prohibition Day, enjoy some dark chocolate cake from Vienna for National Sacher Torte Day. These two days are designed for a little bit of evening treats.
December 6
Pour some cold soup for National Gazpacho Day. If you can't tolerate it cold, nuke it for Microwave Oven Day.
December 7
Find a fair, because it's National Cotton Candy Day… or just find something cotton-candy flavored, like gum.
December 8
Find a grandmother that makes treats this time of year, because it's National Chocolate Brownie Day. There's not really many other types of brownies out there, are there?
December 9
If yesterday was too rich for you, enjoy something with a little less sugar for National Pastry Day. A light and flaky pastry provides a nice alternative to a dense and chewy brownie.
December 10
Pour yourself a beer for National Lager Day, or as I like to call it, "a day that ends in 'day'".
December 11
December 11th is National Noodle Ring Day. I'll give you a chance to google what a "noodle ring" is, because I surely needed a few minutes to deduce it.
December 12
Find a purpose for it. It shouldn't be hard, but National Cocoa Day has a host of recipes to chose from. I particularly like chocolate crinkles, but there's dozens of types out there.
December 13
National Ice Cream and Violins Day? Sure. We've seen weirder combinations.
December 14
National Bouillabaisse Day is here for everyone to act like they know what "bouillabaisse" is without using the Internet.
December 16
It's the food trend of recent years, but you can support your local cupcake eatery for National Cupcake Day. National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day should get your juices (or syrup?) flowing, just thinking of the possibilities. I've coated fried chicken tenders in chocolate syrup, which worked out surprisingly well. Heck, just cover a cupcake in chocolate.
December 17
Trade your chocolate syrup for maple syrup for National Maple Syrup Day. I've coated fried chicken tenders in maple syrup, which worked out surprisingly well. Actually, it shouldn't be too surprising, given the unique culinary combination that is chicken and waffles.
December 18
National Roast Suckling Pig Day is one to celebrate suckling pig, a pig that has only been fed on it's mother's milk, usually killed within two to six weeks. It's like pork veal.
December 19
National Hard Candy Day encourages you to watch the movie "Hard Candy". Actually, no, it's to celebrate hard candy. Still, the movie is pretty good, although a bit gut-wrenching at times.
December 20
National Fried Shrimp Day and National Sangria Day can combine into a delicious dinner. They're not traditionally paired, but alcohol and seafood should be a fine combination in any situation.
December 21
National Hamburger Day is good enough, but how about some fruit to go alongside the dish instead of french fries? Kiwi Fruit Day is here for a difference.
December 22
National Date Nut Bread Day. Yep, there's a day dedicated to date nut bread. It's a sweeter treat, not meant for sandwich bread or anything, but for cream cheese.
December 23
National Pfeffernuesse Day is another date that you'll rush to Wikipedia to figure out what exactly it's celebrating. The name translates to "pepper nuts" in German, Danish, and Dutch, and are small, firm, round biscuits, sometimes with ground nuts.
December 24
National Egg Nog Day? Sure, pour yourself a glass on Christmas Eve.
December 25
National Pumpkin Pie Day? Hopefully you don't find one under a tree from Thanksgiving.
December 26
If you're taking down the tree today, enjoy National Candy Cane Day with some Christmas tree confections.
December 27
National Fruit Cake Day? Save it in the cabinet, only to ship it out to someone next year. Scientists believe that only one actual fruit cake exists, having been shipped across the world from person to person each year.
December 28
National Chocolate Candy Day is largely self-explanatory. Grab a chocolate candy bar and knock this one off your list.
December 29
National Pepper Pot Day is in honor of Iron Man's secretary and sometimes girlfriend, Virginia "Pepper" Potts. In the comic books, she acquired a suit of armor called Rescue, and fought alongside Tony Stark for a while. Or maybe it's named after a dish you've never had. I like to consider Gwenyth Paltrow is getting a shout-out on the calendar here.
December 30
National Bicarbonate Of Soda Day? It's baking soda. Do something with baking soda, or at least replace the box you have in your fridge today.
December 31
National Champagne Day rounds out the year appropriately. Pour yourself a glass of champagne, and see us next year!

I think you can say ~ In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and post with charitable and prayerful intentions.
This dilemma only makes sense to us. I don't know if Coptic priests hear confessions before the Liturgy, so I'd presume the answer to your question is yes.
This could hurt a bit to drive to, but the last time I had communion was also March 31st.
Quote from: Mor Ephrem on May 18, 2013, 07:52:08 PMThis dilemma only makes sense to us. I don't know if Coptic priests hear confessions before the Liturgy, so I'd presume the answer to your question is yes. I'm not sure I understand the question. But most Coptic priests will be very accommodating with making time to hear a confession. If you can contact them ahead of time and make arrangements that is best, but many times I've just gone before Liturgy, and once he finishes dressing the Altar I've asked my priest if he has time before we start, and he's never said no. He even takes confessions on occasion during the Epistle readings if there is need.If you go and they don't have time to hear your confession during the Liturgy, you can just approach for Communion and before partaking whisper in his ear that you need to confess something, will he give you permission to receive on the condition that you stay and confess after Liturgy.If they aren't your priest though, there may be some more discussion needed... In general a Copt may not confess to any priest besides their father in confession without the permission of their father in confession. When someone is in our town for an extended period, if they ask my priest to confess, he always asks them who their father in confession is, and asks them to please email or call them and take their blessing to confess to him first. If you have no father in confession they are unlikely to turn you away from confession.Of course this is the norm and the way it should be. In some of the big churches unfortunately priorities are different with quantity trumping quality, and you may find a priest who is "not taking new patients". Even in the bigger churches though if you look you'll almost always find at least one of the priests who is willing to help.
Quote from: Anastasia1 on May 18, 2013, 08:53:46 PM This could hurt a bit to drive to, but the last time I had communion was also March 31st.Whenever someone out of town has come to my priest and said "I have been in a remote area for 6 months. I want to have communion, but of course I haven't been able to confess in that time either". He always says "come, have communion, and then come confess after the Liturgy".I don't think it makes sense to drive a long distance to a church where you won't be required to confess to get passed it to get communion... Just present your need to the priest and unless they are a bad priest they will do their job of reconciling you to God and His Church, and find a way to bring you to Communion.
This could hurt a bit to drive to, but the last time I had communion was also March 31st and my faith is not in the best place.
I'm not sure I understand the question.
Quote from: Jonathan on May 18, 2013, 08:55:21 PMI'm not sure I understand the question. I took the question to refer to the Armenian practice of the sacrament of repentance, which is in the form of a public, general confession with absolution from the priest. If you're Armenian, this is basically the only "confession" available, though I've heard of people asking Armenian priests for private confession every now and then. If you have a confessor but haven't been able to go to confession and yet want to approach the Eucharist, this form of confession is done in Armenian churches every Sunday--one could commune and confess privately later. Since you talked about the options available in the Coptic practice, perhaps it is not necessary for Anastasia, but it is an option. I've availed myself of this option when my own circumstances were similar. Of course, in another thread I asked about the "absolution" offered in Coptic liturgies and whether it was a form of "general confession"; from the prayers used, and from the practice you described of priests allowing confession after communing, it certainly seems that way.
You were right, and the Coptic priest anointed me with oil since I was a little achy from the injury. First communion in a month and a half. Good to receive sacraments.It's funny. I got in to the church during the sermon where he was saying something about taking the communion seriously, preparing for it and stuff.
Are there any good resources you can point to for a brief overview of Armenian spirituality / popular piety... It just seems so different than the way Copts do things I'm curious to know more about it so I don't make assumptions.

Will Always-On Gadgets Change The Way We Think About Knowledge?
from the hopefully dept
The same thing appears to be happening with modern technologies as well. They're acting as an extension of what's available, and changing the way we think about knowledge and what's important to remember. That lets people "outsource" parts of what they used to need to remember to a backup brain (i.e., technology), and use their primary brain to work on more important things. This becomes even more interesting when you connect it to studies that have shown the real determinant of intelligence isn't necessarily how much you remember, but what your brain decides to forget. If we can train ourselves to ignore easily accessible data, and leave our brains to focus on more important tasks, then it's quite possible that technology can enable people to do much more complex thinking.
