Here's the website for Mathletics: http://www.mathletics.com
I found this website because I was looking through the vendors for our charter school. This looked like a cool one. I explored their website, and decided I'd sign Nicholas up.
There's both a parent log in and a student one.
As the parent I get to set tasks – but not the order in which they are completed. I can see his progress. They also have a page with workbooks you can download – but that page hasn't worked for me yet. I'm waiting for their tech support to get back to me. I'm hoping the workbooks are as easy to use as the website.
The choices are pretty self explanatory for the kids. They have choices of what you can pick for them to do – and if you don't choose anything they can do whatever they want on the site. But you can always pick "make it harder" or "make it easier" to find more choices of tasks.
The "classes" themselves are about 10 questions in length. The tests are a little longer, but I haven't seen one that's more than 20 questions.
The classes ask the kid a question, and they have to chose the answer, then click submit. The program will immediately tell them if they are right or wrong. Then they click next and go on to the next problem. It's a little repetitive and the same questions can pop up more than once. But it is nice the lessons are short and sweet.
It holds my son's attention for the entire time. I sit down at the beginning of the week and fill up his task list. Then he has to do 4 a day. If you think I'm being mean, you should know that 4 "classes" takes him 30 minutes or less. He gets to choose which four things he does. He thinks this is awesome because he gets to choose. He has learned that the choices in yellow are the classes and the blue ones are tests. He saves the tests for the very end.
There is one big complaint I have: The classes give the kids the option to "hear" the computer read the directions. But the tests do not. Also, the color differentiation when the kid chooses an option isn't always big enough that they can easily see the differentiation.
Right now we are using this website to review things and practice money, shapes, and 3D object. We also use it to review basic math.
Nicholas tried the online competition in basic addition and got second place in one race, first in another, and disqualified for three or more wrong answers in a third. He goes back and tries it about once a week. He's not a huge fan of that. But what he does like is seeing his point total increase.
I like the site. Will I sign up for it next year? Nope. It's not that I don't like it and wouldn't recommend it to others, it's just that I'm not a huge fan of it for my son. He likes math, but I'm not so sure he likes this website. He gets caught up in some of stuff on the screen and doesn't always like the repetitive questions. It's great for this year, and maybe as the year goes on he will like it more, but we shall see.

Qadir, Safeen and Kist, Alexander A. (2013) Quality of experience enhancement through adapting sender bit rate. In: 2013 IEEE Region 10 International Conference (TENCON Spring 2013), 17-19 Apr 2013, Sydney, Australia.
Text (Documentation)
Download (658Kb) | Preview
With rapid growth of video traffic over Internet, it becomes a challenging task to provide perceptually good video quality. Enhancement can be done towards improving the Quality of Experience (QoE) by focusing on all relevant layers and across the networks end-to-end. In this paper, the impact of adapting sender bit rate on QoE is analyzed. Furthermore, a mathematical relationship between QoE and bit rate is established which can be extended to include other parameters. Simulation results demonstrate that the quality of non-adaptive video over a bottleneck link is deteriorating to a degree which it becomes annoying, while the same setup produces acceptable QoE when the sender adapts its rate. Moreover, the delay is maintained at an acceptable level as well.

A child custody order may seem like the end of the divorce process, but life changes can crop up unexpectedly at any point in the future. If your custody or visitation arrangements may be affected by such a change through the need to relocate, legal support may be important for ensuring that your needs are met without hindering your relationship with your child.
When child support ends in Arizona
Parents in Arizona who pay child support or who receive it may wonder how long that support must last. Most of the time, child support ends when the child reaches the age of majority.
Controlling the cost of an Arizona divorce
Divorce can be an emotionally draining and tense event for many couples. Visceral reactions to financial decisions may cause a relatively easy divorce case to be delayed by weeks or months. This could cause the legal and other fees attendant to a divorce to skyrocket. This does not always have to be the case, however.
Child custody and virtual visitation in Arizona
As technology continues to revolutionize communication, more divorce cases across the country are taking into account "virtual visitation," or the use of Internet technology such as instant messaging and video chat, to facilitate contact between children and noncustodial parents beyond the scope of regular physical visitation. Arizona does not have a formal virtual visitation law, but Arizona courts are examining the issue of virtual visitation as it affects parenting time and how it may change the child custody landscape.

Preventing the Twist: Working with Two Colors
If you have ever worked a project in more than one color without fastening of, you know how quickly your yarns will twist around each other and how frustrating that twisting can become. If you are new to crochet colorwork, hopefully we will be able to save you the angst. Here I am working the Lotus Circle motif from the Harmony Guides: Crochet Stitch Motifs.
|When you are working with 2 colors one yarn ball will always be in front of the other ball. It doesn't matter which color you have in front. I worked with the green ball closer to me and the pink ball behind the green ball or farther away from me.
|When changing colors in the middle of the round from the green yarn to the pink yarn, wrap the pink yarn (or yarn farthest away from you) over the top of the green yarn (or yarn closet to you) capturing the green yarn between the yarn over and the project.
When changing back to the yarn closest to you, do not wrap the yarn around the pink yarn (or yarn farthest from you). Simply drop the pink yarn, yarn over with the green yarn, and continue working in single crochet over the top of the pink yarn.
Now you can spend more time crocheting and less time untangling your yarn. If you have tips for working with multiple colors share them in the comments section below.
Best wishes,

For over 50 years, Bloomberg Tax's renowned flagship daily news service, Daily Tax Report® has helped leading practitioners and policymakers stay on the cutting edge of taxation and...
Carried interest, the tax break for private equity fund managers' profits, appears set to make it through a rewrite of the tax code unchanged, a House Republican said.
Under the House GOP tax plan, carried interest will continue to be taxed at the long-term capital gains rate, which is 16.5 percent in the proposal. Ways and Means Committee members are in accord that it should stay in place, Rep. Kenny Marchant (R-Texas) told Bloomberg BNA Jan. 10 after a members' meeting on passthrough entity issues.
It wasn't clear that all members were in agreement, however, and Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) said carried interest, as well as issues including taxation of insurance products, is still "under consideration." Committee members who support the carried interest break are trying to convince those who think it could be politically risky to support the current tax arrangement, one meeting attendee said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the meeting freely.
President-elect Donald Trump has said he would support taxing carried interest at ordinary tax rates, which would be 25 percent under the Republican plan. His transition team didn't respond to a request for comment.
Lawmakers are planning frequent meetings for the rest of the month to resolve outstanding issues as they put final touches on their plan to overhaul the tax code. Marchant acknowledged that although many details were "cleared up" in the Jan. 10 meeting, there still could be changes in the coming weeks.
Carried interest was one of the few areas of agreement between Trump and Democrats in the presidential election. Opponents of the tax break say that money managers shouldn't get preferential treatment on the income they earn. Advocates say the provision spurs investment and reflects the risk that fund managers take. Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.), who attended the Ways and Means meeting, said he believes that money managers shouldn't get special tax arrangements.
According to Marchant, it is possible that "when they put this whole thing together, they'll look at it and say, 'we need to treat carried interest different and make it subject to ordinary,' which would raise it up to the 25 percent rate."

|HO Scale ABB SEPTA N5 Car
Prototype Photo
The Phladelphia & Western Railway was intended in the early 1930s as a high-speed competitor to the parallel Pennsylvania Railroad's service to Harrisburg. Operating out of 69th St. Terminal in Philadelphia (back when it was called Union Square Terminal) the line featured third rail power and sleek 100mph steel cars called Bullets, built by J.G. Brill. Over the years, the line also saw operation of Lehigh Valley RR through-service from Philadelphia to Allentown, 'Strafford' cars (built for the small extension to Strafford, PA, now long abandoned), re-trucked Market-Frankford EL cars and Chicago 6000-series EL cars (both of these to cover services while new cars were being built) and even the two ex-North Shore Electroliner trainsets (renamed Libertyliners). Even though the line stopped short of Harrisburg by about 75 miles, it became a part of the suburban Philadelphia transit system to Norristown. It continues to be operated by SEPTA today as their Route 100, and is the last remaining interurban line in the United States. After a series of fatal accidents in the 1980s involving the line's original aging equipment, SEPTA decided to upgrade and re-equip the P&W (as it is still known to the traction enthusiasts in the area) with new trackwork, rebuilt stations and signaling, and modern 'N5' stainless steel cars built by ABB Traction. The N5 cars are perhaps not as aesthetically pleasing as the Bullets, but they are larger (63'10" length over anticlimbers), comfortable, smooth riding and have the latest safety features.
IHP brings you the first ever attempt to make this car commercially available in any scale. This model is supplied powered, undecorated, ready to finish by the builder. The N5 body shell is available separately in our Apprentice Series.

So along with a non-functioning foot, I now have a non-functioning lens. The focus ring has sheared off and I can only shoot at the focal length it was set to when I last used it, which is about a metre. A long complicated day, which I was only able to get through with the help of MisterMac acting as chauffeur, carrier, cook and walking stick. An accident on the motorway meant a five hour return journey (it should have taken less than two) and so there was no opportunity for seeking out medieval lyric poetry, but with a little imagination, these red blobs could pass as the lamps of the night watchmen.
Day #142 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.

Walking from Kentridge to Hortpark and back. The flowers are not the same everyday. The leaves too grow from young to old, the path remains the same but the surroundings change because nature is never static. The plots of landscaping belong to various companies undergo various design changes and each time new plants and trees and flowers are planted to please our senses as we walk through them. It sounds a little cliched to say that the only thing constant about the Hortpark is change and the lovely thing happening now in Kentridge Park is that the Tembusu trees are flowering profusely in unison and the air especially at the hill-top carpark is filled with their lingering fragrance.

It's only words, and words are all I have......
But all this comes at a cost. The number of people dropping out of mainstream interstate and overseas life and coming to the perceived backwater of Tasmania, to take up a life of renovating, gardening, being self-sufficient and joining their community actively, demonstrates this.
Another cost is, to me, the most important. It is the loss of a person's word. Call me old-fashioned but I go to great lengths to keep my word, and it pains me deeply when I can't or don't, for whatever reason. The way to NOT break your word to someone is simple – don't make a commitment if you know you can't keep it. Don't open your mouth! Don't promise what you know you can't deliver.
It is commonplace nowadays to expect nothing of anyone. If a plumber says they will be there on Monday morning, are they? If you make a doctors appointment for 2.00, and don't get to see your doctor till 3.30, what do you do? If a friend says they'll call you tomorrow, do they?
Keeping your word is vital in today's world. It actively demonstrates many aspects of your personality and character. It shows integrity, truthfulness and trust, big-heartedness, caring, humanity and an awareness of all others around you. It gives people security to know they can rely on you, and your word. If you are in a sales situation, you will do your job badly if no one believes what you are mouthing. In a restaurant, when I ask a waitperson what they would have if THEY were eating at the restaurant they work at, it gives me just as much idea as to what to order, as to what kind of people are employed there, and what characteristics the employer finds important in his employees, depending on their answer.
We let a lot of that go past without batting an eyelid, but I'm over it! I'm declaring 2011 a no-go zone for people expecting me to take their shit! My new year's resolution is to call people on not keeping their word to me. I won't stress about the general stuff, like the plumber, but restrict it to the more personal promises. And I started yesterday with a return email to someone in the business community who promised to get back to me with information I required 2 weeks ago.
An extract of my email to him yesterday reads thusly:
Hi John
Well, the Monday you referred to in your answer to me (below) on Sat 27th November 2010 below (presumably Mon 29th November 2010) has well and truly passed with my receiving no update still on my xxx blah blah blah.
Added to the above confusion (see emails below) regarding where I stand in regard to my payments made to xxx, it appears systems could do with a thorough overhaul.
I am a patient and charitable person but find these characteristics tested at times like this.
I haven't heard back from poor John yet but I intend keeping up the pressure. So if you are one of those careless people, be warned…..

Click here to vote for Nev's Life in the Triple Ace competition!
Hello everyone! Glad to see you made it to my new and improved version of Nev's Life. ^_^
I've added a few new pages to my site. They are: The Daily Blurb and The Design Giveaway. The Daily Blurb is a daily (or weekly as time permits) news page on world events, movies, side comments from myself, etc. Hopefully you all will find it entertaining. The Design Giveaway is a monthly contest to see who will receive a website and neopets design made by me. It will be a totally random choosing and there will be 2 categories; website and neopets. Each person can only win in one category a month so be sure to select the one you want the most.
Happy Halloween! I know I haven't been around much lately, ok at all, but I've had some stuff that I needed to deal with. But starting this week I'm going to be working on a new layout and all kinds of new stuff for the site.
Oh any thanks to Triple Ace for making me the member of the week!
I added two new wallpapers. One to the random section and one to the LOTR section. Enjoy!
I added the egyptian tile background back. ^_^ If anyone is actually using any of the other tile images I deleted just let me know on the tagboard.
I've chosen Merry and Pippin for the lotr design! I hope you all like it and remember to fill out the form if you use it! ^_-*
All designs are simple pop-ups that shouldn't be hard for even the beginners to use. In the future I'll give a level rating on the hardness of my designs to use. And I'll always be happy to answer any questions you have.
I know that several of the ul's are messed up due to the new format on neopets. I'm going to try and fix them all soon.
I have a brand new page of fan images from Merenwen Eärendil. Go and see!
I need some new fan submissions please! It can be absolutely anything under the sun. Drawings, graphics, wallpapers, poetry, fanfiction (no smut), photographs (nothing disgusting), etc...
Send them to me here. I'll post them and be sure to give you credit. If you'd like a link to your own website be sure to give me your url with your submission.

While Germany is still hangovering from the unbelievable football match, I'm on my way to Liverpool to present my results at the British Society of Criminology Conference. The title of my talk is: "Bouncers as watchmen and challengers of metropolitan security". I'll speak about the sometimes antagonistic interests bouncers have to deal with, how they keep trouble away from the nightclub, themselves and non-involved guests, and how this affects public space. My research goes public, wooohoo! Hopefully, I might be hangovering in some days, too.
A nightlife researcher never sleeps. Being super serial at daytime, I'll hopefully get the chance to explore Liverpool's and Manchester's nightlife – for the sake of science of course.

Okay guys, I'm about to show you some serious eye candy. Just last month Restoration Hardware announced RH Teen -- and just by the teaser photo, I was already so excited. Now with the new website up and running, there is SO much to be excited about and it's no joke. These pieces can be used in adult spaces as well as teen. Pricing is less than RH Home but that's not saying too much but at least you DO know the quality is there. These pieces are truly something teens can grow into and have for years to come -- that's what excites me most. Here are some of my favorite photos from the new website ( I have to come up with a list of my favorite items). Oh, and for those of you who don't know I now work at Restoration Hardware so I can't wait to get my hands on some designs where I can include some of these items. Definitely check the new RH Teen website out for more!
How amazing are these spaces? I'm loving it all but the decor is especially
on point. Enjoy!

Today is the second day of college.
Sadly, locker 69 was taken before we managed to hand in our forms. We got lockers 75, 76, and 77.
We headed back to our class and sat on the second row. TJ, me, Gab. The first lecturer to come in was Miss Tan Ai Ni (egg loves you). She's quite a pretty teacher (yeah, Gab says that too, but TJ with his oh-so-high expectations prefers SY. I knew it!). She briefed us about the Chemistry curriculum and all the bloody coursework we need to do. Ahh, I feel the pressure!
By the way, no SALTS! I am so relieved. Salts was the HARDEST chapter of all! Lucky us haha. Gab says that salts is easy pula.. haha. Oh ya, Miss Ai Ni (she prefers us to call her like this) is 28 years old lol. We've found out.
Then it is mathematics class. I just noticed that there is this 5 minutes break between every classes for people to move about or pay a visit to the toilets/shopping mall. Great indeed. Our maths teacher is Miss Sharina. Well she's another good teacher. The 'normal routine' (for today) is: self-introductions, subject outlines, and assessment outlines. Especially the self-introduction part, we gotta repeat the 3 points time to time: I'm Lee Young, live in Bangsar and went to CHS. Imagine repeating that for 5, 6 times.
Then it was Miss Koh. I noticed that there are a few similarities between all of my lecturers. First of all, all of them are from the Subang campus. Secondly, all of them aged around 25-35 like that. Thridly, all of them are females. Fourthly, all of them are quite nice. Haha. Fifthly, all of them required us to self-introduce and gave us the outline of the particular subject they're teaching on the first day. Hmm.
By the way I felt that I have been very unsocial lately. Where's the social gene of mine? Where's the great-dream gene of mine? I'm waiting them to emerge suddenly. But I think it is the study-hard gene that is suppressing both two genes. Argh.
Miss Koh is our biology lecturer. TJ said that she looks very CHS-ian-ish. Well she's another good teacher. I can't really differentiate the teachers beside than their looks and voices. They're so... uniform. haha.
During break we went to a better looking kopitiam that serves larger portions than the mamak stores (with larger price tags, of course). Rong-Chang met with us too. The food was quite nice. After that we went to the shopping centre and walked around, having nothing to do.
Then, we spotted a Yamaha piano shop. There were a few pianos showing inside. So we went in. And banged the pianos like nobody's business. (for a very long time, too) TJ played like elephant sitting on the keyboard- damn loud. Well if I'm the shopkeeper I would be effin tulan and feel like killing those 2 little kiddos that are spoiling the piano. Lol, man.
After another class it was the LAN class. Yeah, lan-jiao that LAN. Since there's no LAN lessons this week, we were free again. And we continue our effort towards destroying the beautiful 5-foot grand. Only until a shopwoman came and ask TJ: "are you practising? This is not for practising." "No, I'm trying the pianos!" And she left with her tulan face. Haha. Then we sneaked out pretty fast, lol.
Day Three
Today I was more sociable. Hmm. There was this Indian friend that sits behind me who knows to speak Chinese. I was thinking something when I heard him talking through the phone in zhong1 wen2. Lol. Then I turned around and... wow.
I told Gab and she said: "WTH, he speaks better Chinese than me!" LOL. We talked to him in half-Chinese half-English, a more pro version (because of him) of our national language (ROJAK). He said that he was going to play basketball later (because we saw him wearing short pants in a fugging cold room), and bla bla bla... Cool, haha.
During the break we went to eat with Twan Tzee's friends. They are Darren, George (Mix of Australian and Chinese, cool), Vishyakan, and the girl whom I didn't really got her name, Lim Lea (well at least I know how to pronounce now, hmm). We went to the kopitiam again, this time with 4 tables arranged together. Large group, hmm.
You know, most of the times, more people means more fun. Why football is more fun than frisbee? Simple, more people. That's the same for us too. It was quite entertaining and interesting when talking to them. Ahh, it's time to meet a new group of friend, man! Or else how I gonna socialize? Hmmm.
So let's see how well I mix around on coming days.
P.S: I may not blog so often now because life is starting to be hectic. I can sense it!

ONE Championship
Pinoy Honorio Banario scores second round knockout
Santino Honasan on Apr 21, 2017 10:58 PM
Honorio Banario scored a second round KO win at ONE Championship: Kings of Destiny
Team Lakay lightweight contender Honorio Banario provided one of the night's most exciting highlights, as he scored a scintillating knockout win over Jaroslav Jartim of the Czech Republic in the second round of their bout at ONE Championship: Kings of Destiny, Friday evening at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The height disadvantage didn't seem to bother Banario as he managed to dominate Jartim in the grappling department, taking the Czech Republic native down at will and keeping control on the mat.
Less than two minutes into the second round, Banario countered a body kick from Jartim by unloading a jab and then landing a solid left hook flush on Jartim's chin, separating the Czech from his senses.
Counter jab followed by a left hook flush to the chin. What a KO from Honorio Banario@abscbnsports pic.twitter.com/okDgCvfyEg— Santino Honasan (@honasantino) April 21, 2017
The former ONE featherweight champion improves to 12-6 in his professional career and makes it four straight wins in the ONE Championship lightweight division.

(FREDERICTON, NB) The UNB Reds scored four power-play goals on route to a 6-1 win over the Acadia Axemen on Saturday.
Chris Clapperton (Cap d'Espoir, QC) and Tyler Boland (St. John's, NL) each scored twice for the Reds, while Kris Bennett (Brampton, ON), and Joe Gatenby (Kelowna, BC) each had three assists.
Matthew Boucher (Los Angeles, Calif.) had a goal and an assist for UNB, while Samuel Dove-McFalls (Montreal, QC) also scored.
Acadia actually struck first, when Stephen Harper (Burlington, ON) scored, on the power-play, at 5:42 of the first period.
Kyle Farrell (Howie Centre, NS) won a face-off right back to Harper, who's shot eluded Reds netminder Alex Dubeau (Mascouche, QC).
UNB countered with their first power-play goal about two-and-a-half minutes later.
Boucher's shot from the face-off circle was kicked out by Axemen netminder Dawson Carty (Burlington, ON) but Dove-McFalls was right there to fire the rebound home.
That goal sent almost 1300 stuffed animals flying onto the Aitken Centre ice and brought the game to a temporary halt.
It was the Reds 3rd annual Teddy Bear Toss.
"The fans did a really great job. It's for a great cause," said Gatenby. "I've been lucky enough, in junior, to hand out some of those teddy bears to kids. It's so awesome to see the smiles on faces."
1295 stuffed animals were collected and will be distributed by the Salvation Army to less fortunate children during the upcoming holiday season.
The Reds erupted for three goals, all on the power-play, in the second period.
At 5:11, with UNB working 5-on-3, Clapperton took a Stephen Anderson pass and one-timed it, short side, past Carty.
The assist was the 50th of Anderson's Atlantic University Sport career.
45 seconds later, and with the Reds working 5-on-4, Boucher scored on an Anderson pass to give UNB a 3-1 lead.
At 18:51, and with the man-advantage once again, Clapperton scored his second of the game, a pretty re-direct of a Boland slap-pass to make it a 4-1 game.
Boland scored the game's first even strength goal at 9:07 of the third period.
He rounded out the scoring with his second of the night, a rocket of a one-timer off a Boucher drop-pass, with just 2:00 to play.
"We did a good job of capitalizing on our power-plays, and that opened the game up a little for us," said Gatenby. "It was definitely still a challenging game and it really pushed us."
Going 4-for-6 on the power-play helped.
"Special teams are a massive part of the game," said Gatenby. "They, definitely, can win you a hockey game and today they did."
Dubeau earned the win in the UNB net, stopping 26 of the 27 shots he faced.
Carty took the loss, stopping 42 of 48 shots.
"We are young," admitted Axemen head coach Darren Burns. "They're working as hard as they can, but just to get acclimatized to this league, it's tough."
With the win, the Reds improve to 13-0-3.
They wrap up the first half of the season next weekend with visits to Saint Mary's, on Friday, and Acadia, on Saturday.
The Axemen, now 4-9-2, host UPEI on Friday, before Saturday's re-match with the Reds.

JAZZ FEST INDEX - 2013 Rochester INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL
Julian Arguelles Quartet have the craziest website. We went there before planning our stops tonight and found a new age-like track playing on the home page and then some raucous videos of the band playing live. We had both tracks playing at once for a bit. We stopped in Christ Church and found he does indeed sound somewhere between these poles. - photo by P Doddy - click photo to advance > next

I'm sitting on a patio in Indianapolis, beginning the digestive process on a decent portabella sandwich. A beer has been delivered to the table – it could be the second of the evening – and it rests beside my laptop. I'm the guy at the restaurant with his laptop out, posting to facebook.
Don't judge.
The temperature is perfect. It's perhaps 78 degrees, and the stars are beginning to be visible behind the bright lights of the downtown. I enjoy hearing the contented babble of people making their way through a summer evening. I enjoy being outside in a t-shirt and jeans and feeling downright comfortable.
Earlier this evening I worked in at a local jiu jitsu place. Good people, strong and competent. I had a solid workout and didn't get injured – which is all I really ask when I'm on the road.
As to work today, I quote penny arcade:
My response was to haul out the big guns. Actually, it's my policy to leverage the big guns exclusively. I had a few little guns for awhile, and I sent them back. "Won't be needing these," I said.
With that, I return to deleting email and considering how a more humble, and also more witty, individual might respond to what remains.

Well this reader would like to say what a pretty thing she is, drop dead gorgeous! Good Luck with your impending move and I wish you many happy times sailing her.ReplyDelete
Cheers. It's a big move for us and it is lovely to have a good boat waiting there for us. She has quite a story to her and I'll try to blog some details if there is interest.ReplyDelete

Rob, she is beautiful. Has Beachcomber always been a lakes boat?ReplyDelete
Thanks! Yes she has been there since the 1870's (or maybe '60's)ReplyDelete

It's been a while!
Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I last updated the blog!
Life has been a whirlwind of work and teaching, and I've been snowed under; but this term I have adopted a much healthier work/life balance and am looking forward to being able to share more of what I've been busy with, so watch this space! :)


text: After being trapped beneath the heavy rubble and soil for 18 hours, this dog was miraculously rescued by these soldiers. It is unbelievable how this lovely creature survived a landslide that killed 50 people. Clearly, she is made to live to tell a tale to everyone: the will to survive. Look how relieved she was getting out of that tiny hole!

When I first got out of rehab in early 2015, I was a mess. Once I got sober inside of the rehab, I was able to really focus on my healing, but the transition back to my normal life was not easy for me at all. My drinking buddies were calling me up and wanting to hang out. They didn't understand that I wasn't drinking anymore. It was a really difficult time for me.
I started to attend SMART Recovery meetings, and I met a few other people in recovery. That was extremely helpful, but it wasn't really enough. I started feeling the urge to go back to drinking. It was getting worse. I didn't want to start all over and end up in the same mess that had landed me in rehab in the first place, but I didn't know what else to do.
One morning, in a fit of desperation, I just started running. That first day, I didn't have the best shoes or anything. I didn't really know what I was doing. I was just running instead of drinking. And I discovered that it felt really good.
I started doing it every day. Pretty soon, my drinking buddies weren't calling me anymore. And I never wanted to go out late at night and stay out because I knew I was getting up early to go for a run.
Running became my new addiction. I had to go for a run in the morning or I felt off the entire day. For the first time, I had an addiction to something that was healthy.
Yes, rehab was helpful. Yes, SMART recovery was helpful. Yes, my new sober friends were helpful. But I know that if I hadn't discovered my love for running, I would have started drinking again.
Now, every morning as I tie my shoes and do my stretches, I feel so incredibly grateful to the act of running. I'm so glad that I discovered how great running could make me feel. So if you are struggling with an addiction, I encourage you to find something that you're passionate about. It might just save your life.

Deadball Era World Series
Christy Mathewson, New York, NL - World Series batting practice, Bain 1911

Steve Steinberg & Tom Simon, Editors
Burlington, Vermont attorney Tom Simon and I are editing a book on the Deadball Era World Series (1903-1919), a collaborative effort with members of SABR's Deadball Era Committee.
Long before television, even before radio, baseball fans followed the World Series in the daily newspapers. Sportswriters were kings and kingmakers and had national followings (many were syndicated across the country).They worked magic, conjuring up vivid images that were much more lyrical and expressive than what fans read today.
Our book will be photo-laden and photo-driven—with both action and still shots—drawing on rare and seldom-seen images from both public archives and private collections across the country, as well as images from families of ballplayers who participated in these World Series between 1903 and 1919. These pictures will be accompanied by accounts from sportswriters (as well as managers and players), vivid firsthand accounts that capture a "feel" for the times. There has never been a book that combines rare, evocative images with colorful and descriptive prose from contemporary writers of the times, including legendary sportswriters such as Broun, Dryden, Lardner, Rice, and Runyon.
Tom and I hope to have the final manuscript by early 2013.

Pop oddballs Stavely Makepeace teamed Rob Woodward and Nigel Fletcher, a pair of Joe Meek-obsessed eccentrics who first began collaborating in the early '60s. While Woodward later enjoyed limited success as a solo singer under the alias Shel Naylor, eventually mounting a one-man cabaret show, Fletcher spent the middle of the decade serving in the British Merchant Navy, settling in London following his 1967 discharge. In late 1968 Woodward and Fletcher resumed their creative partnership, decamping to the former's mother Hilda's Coventry home and setting up their own studio in her living room. Dubbing the project Stavely Makepeace, the duo added bassist Pete Fisher and drummer Don Ker to flesh out the sessions, releasing their debut single, "I Wanna Love You Like a Mad Dog" on Pyramid Records, in mid-1969.
Combining rough-edged electronics, traditional and found instruments, and tape-machine sleight of hand, Stavely Makepeace quickly emerged as a singular presence on the British pop landscape, earning a devoted cult following as well as the nickname "the Scrap Iron Band," a nod to their anything-goes aesthetic. After their second Pyramid single, "Reggae Denny," was scrapped at the 11th hour for reasons unknown, guitarist and woodwind player Steve Tayton joined the lineup in early 1970, and with the exit of Fisher, new bassist Steve Johnson signed on as well. This new lineup made its bow with the Concord label single "Edna," a minor hit that won Stavely Makepeace an appearance on television's Top of the Pops. "Smokey Mountain Rhythm Revue" soon followed, its tongue-in-cheek instrumental flip side, "Rampant on the Rage," inspiring Woodward and Fletcher to form an instrumental side project, Lieutenant Pigeon, its lineup the same as Stavely Makepeace's but for the addition of Hilda Woodward on piano.
While 1971's Stavely Makepeace single, "Give Me That Pistol," sank without a trace, Lieutenant Pigeon's 1972 debut, "Mouldy Old Dough," went on to become the best-selling U.K. single of the year, winning Woodward and Fletcher the Ivor Novello Songwriting Award in the process. Both bands coexisted for several years to follow, with violinist Owen John replacing Tayton in time for Stavely Makepeace's 1972 Spark Records debut, "Walking Through the Blue Grass." "Slippery Rock 70s" soon followed, and in the wake of 1973's "Prima Donna" the group was again in search of a new label, landing at Deram for "Cajun Band." Again the mainstream listening public wanted no part of this nonsense, and following 1974's "Runaround Sue," Woodward and Fletcher mothballed Stavely Makepeace to focus all of their efforts on Lieutenant Pigeon.
SM cut "Baby Blue Eyes" to little notice, and a year later Chas Chandler's Barn label likewise dusted off another forgotten track, "No Regrets." Neither single charted, but proved enough to convince Stavely Makepeace to re-form full-time. However, 1980's Hammer Records single, "Songs of Yesterday," flopped, and after one last gasp three years later with the self-released "Just Tell Her Fred Said Goodbye," the band itself bid its final adieu. In addition to the long-lived Lieutenant Pigeon, which continued touring into the next century, Woodward and Fletcher continued their partnership as producers of radio jingles and voice-overs, even publishing the joint autobiography When Show Business Is No Business in 2001. Three years later, the British reissue label RPM compiled Stavely Makepeace's singles as The Scrap Iron Rhythm Revue.

Dependable Cleaning ServicesMake Coming Home from Work a Treat
Most people love a clean home, but in today's busy world, house cleaning often gets overlooked, or moved to the bottom of the to-do list. If you are a parent who works outside of the home, housecleaning is often the last item on your list. After a long day at work, many parents would rather spend time with their children than vacuum stairs. Unfortunately, 84% of Americans believe having a clean carpet is necessary to having a clean home. If you feel like you do not have the time and energy it takes to keep your home as clean as you like, hiring a dependable maid service may be the answer to your situation. Maintaining a home, being a good parent, and working or volunteering outside of the home combine to take up a lot of your time and energy. Hiring a dependable maid service, however, can actu

London: Printed for Stanfield Parkinson, 1773.. xxiii,212,[2]pp. plus twenty-six plates, a map, and an engraved frontispiece portrait. Large quarto. Contemporary marbled boards with vellum corners; expertly rebacked in calf, retaining original leather label. Slight offsetting from some plates, otherwise quite clean, a near fine copy. A large paper copy of this important narrative. Parkinson accompanied Capt. James Cook on his first voyage to the South Pacific and New Zealand, serving as draughtsman under naturalist Joseph Banks. As botanical artist for the Endeavor voyage, Parkinson produced a large number of magnificent botanical and natural history drawings of Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia. His untimely death near the end of the voyage while en route from Batavia to the Cape of Good Hope resulted in a dispute between his brother, Stanfield, and Banks over ownership of his manuscripts and drawings. When Hawkesworth learned of the impending publication of this work, he sought and received an injunction to prevent its appearance until sometime after the official account was issued. Hawkesworth went so far as to omit mention of Parkinson's name from the official account, and even failed to give him credit for his botanical illustrations. The present work stands as the most attractive of the unofficial accounts of Cook's first voyage. It contains extensive descriptions of Australia and New Zealand, and is the first work to properly identify the kangaroo by name. The handsome plates are from Parkinson's drawings, and they depict natives of Tierra del Fuego, Tahiti, and New Zealand, scenes in Tahiti and New Zealand, and native artifacts. Also included are several vocabularies of South Sea languages. A major journal for Cook's first voyage. BEDDIE 712. BELL P100. STREETER SALE 2406. HILL 1308. DAVIDSON, pp.54-56. HOLMES 7.

Coarse Beach Grit
I collect coarse beach grit from a remote beach on the North Yorkshire coast, a few miles North of Whitby. The action of the sea has ground all of the grits to a smooth surface. Wave action deposits particles of a similar size together in an area and I just look around until I find the size I want. It contains ironstone, which was historically used for producing iron, sea-shells and all colors of mineral stones I can not identify.

Diagnosis and Management of Valvular Heart Disease
As the total population has been increasingly aging, the prevalence of valvular heart disease has increased to a level where it is now responsible for 10–20% of cardiac surgeries in the United States (Maganti et al., Mayo Clin Proc 85(5):483–500, 2010). Recent years have brought a remarkable improvement in the clinical outcome of patients with valvular heart disease. Our goal in this chapter is to highlight critical issues when evaluating these patients, including etiology and severity of valvular disease, presence or absence of symptoms, relationship of symptoms and prognosis in valvular disease, and risk-benefit ratio of possible interventions. Finally, we will provide the latest guidelines for treatment including surgical consultation and transcatheter interventions.
