For instance, in the previous license header, the Copyright years are fixed to 2010 – 2011. It also has no information relevant to the actual project. We could of course hardcode the name of the project in there but since this setting is not solution-specific, it would be of little use. Other data such a filenames however would be impossible to do.
With this change in place, next time we run a code-cleanup and have the Update File Header option activated, we will get up to date and project/file specific header information inserted. Next feature request: Custom Macros!
Unfortunately, enabling file header addition/update seems to cause R# to always modify the file during clean-up, even if it has not materially changed the contents, and this is a step backwards from pre-6 versions of R# which would leave the file alone if clean-up would not change anything. It is a relatively minor issue, but I do hope that this gets addressed in a patch, as it removes the previous ability to instantly know if a clean-up operation has changed the file or not.
Could you please log it with a test case to reproduce in http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/RSRP ?
$USER_NAME$ is always empty for me, though $USER_LOGIN$ is not. How do I set $USER_NAME$?
The same for me. Why $USER_NAME$ is empty? How can it be set?
The $USER_NAME$ field maps to the display name of the current user. Under the covers it calls Win32’s GetUserNameEx method, passing in EXTENDED_NAME_FORMAT.NameDisplay. If your account doesn’t have a display name set, it will display an empty string. Setting the display name depends on the type of account you have – a local Windows account can be set on the local machine, if you’re on a domain, I suspect it will have to be changed in Active Directory.
If you get an empty string for $USER_NAME$, you might want to use $USER_LOGIN$ instead. This shows the user’s login name, rather than the display name.
It would be nice if this had source control macros that linked to TFS, if TFS supports that. Then it could show (as SourceSafe used to do) things like $last_checked_in$ and so on. Just an idea.

Personal injury cases are often settled without ever going to trial. A case is considered settled from the moment your lawyer informs the defense attorney that you accept the settlement offer.
However, determining whether or not the money you received from a personal injury settlement is taxable can be tricky. This is because these settlements can be taxable, nontaxable or partially taxable. This is dependent on the specific circumstances of your case and the type of injuries you sustained.
Below, our West Palm Beach personal injury lawyers discuss the exceptions and exclusions you need to know about that could make part of your personal injury settlement taxable. If you were injured and need help pursuing your claim, contact us today to schedule a free, no obligation consultation.
In most cases, personal injury settlements are not taxable. There are numerous exceptions that can make a portion of your settlement compensation taxable.
A personal injury settlement is not considered wages or salary by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), but this type of income is considered compensatory. Compensatory does not mean nontaxable – assuming this could leave you owing a great amount of money in taxes.
What Does the IRS Not Consider Taxable?
The IRS has rules that prevent you from double dipping with your personal injury settlement. If you have received a tax benefit in the past that is related to your injury case, you may not take it again once the case has settled. For example, if you claimed out-of-pocket costs as a deduction in the past and those costs were included in your settlement, you will need to pay back what was previously deducted.
If your personal injury settlement earned interest, the interest on your award is not exempt from taxation. This interest income must be reported on your taxes, and you will be taxed on it. Interest is often awarded for the length of time it takes a personal injury case to go to trial. It typically starts from the date your case was filed and runs through the date you receive payment on the verdict.
Emotional distress or mental anguish not directly related to your injury or illness is taxable. If your settlement includes compensation for non-physical injuries, these are taxed. This includes compensation for discrimination, wrongful termination, harassment and invasion of privacy.
Compensation for lost wages is typically subject to income tax. This is because your regular income would have been subject to this tax, had you not been injured and were able to work for wages.
Punitive damages are sometimes awarded in personal injury settlements. These damages serve as a punishment for the defendant. Even when directly related to physical injuries or illnesses, this money is most always taxable.
Your attorney should request that the judge separate the punitive damages from the compensatory damages in the award. This allows you to show the IRS that a portion of the award was for nontaxable compensatory damages.
Your attorney should also make sure any liens against you for expenses related to your injury have been paid. Even if you do not know about a lien, you are still required to pay it. Liens related to a personal injury case may be placed by your health insurance company or others for associated debts.
If you have any questions regarding your personal injury case, contact our experienced team of attorneys at Gordon & Partners. We can help you recover the maximum compensation you deserve.
Schedule a free, no obligation consultation today to learn more about your legal rights. We charge no upfront fees and you only pay us if we recover compensation for your case.

This is a strange book about responding to the controversial Apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Medjugoije in Bosnia-Hercegovina. The author calls President Obama a "radical Marxist socialist" who wants to bring Marxism to America. The author supports founding small Christian villages around the US declared independent of "Federalization." He claims that scientific studies prove that the six visionaries of Medjugoije actually see something supernatural. I am not convinced by his overall message of how we must rechristianize America, but I do hope to see it rechristianized in my lifetime. . .
For readers of literary journals out there, most of the published stories will not surprise you: Ron Rash, Wells Tower, etc. are featured in here. Although the selected stories are predictable, that does not take away their right to be published in this collection as they are indeed the best of the year. All in all, it is an excellent edition and worth purchasing.
Poor set of legal forms poorly done. Quicken should be ashamed. This product is not worth $5.00 I highly advise not to purchase this product.
For the price, this a good day to day laptop. I can play games on Facebook with no problems. The only thing that made me to give a 4 star instead of 5 is that the keyboard is not back-lit so until you type you don't know if your are typing with lower or upper cases. Other then that, I will give it a clean swipe ( came loaded with loads of crap), and will be good to go. Keyboard is easy on typing, since I type very fast, colors are good, again , for this price, don't expect a gaming computer, but for school, and everyday surfing, watching movies on Netflix or Amazon video, this is a good laptop !
Bona leaves a streaky film no matter how it's applied. The Bona film also catches dirt so you need to mop more often. And this film builds up, dulling your wood floor. I therefore switched to moping with a water/vinegar solution. Every once in a while I would try Bona again because I still had the spray bottle and it seemed like it should be easier and more effective. But every time I saw those streaks I realized Bona actually makes mopping harder in the long run. So today I threw away my Bona spray bottle. I have found the best hardwood floor cleaner is a solution of 1 gallon warm water with 1/2 C. white vinegar. Wet your sponge mop with this solution and squeeze it well. If it is a small area, use the hands/knees method. Water/vinegar is recommended by many hardwood flooring companies as a floor cleaner. The only internet site that says to never use water/vinegar is the Bona site!

The FASB’s recently issued ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow Scope Improvements for Lessors, which simplifies how lessors implement the new leasing guidance in ASC 842, Leases.
Lessors may elect to account for sales and other similar taxes collected from lessees as lessee costs and to exclude them from the consideration in the contract and from variable payments not included in the consideration in the contract.
Lessors should exclude from variable payments, and therefore from revenue, all costs paid by lessees directly to third parties.
Lessors should allocate certain variable payments to lease and non-lease components when the facts and circumstances that trigger the variable payments occur.
An entity that has not yet adopted ASC 842 should apply the amendments in ASU 2018-20 when it adopts the new leasing standard. Entities that have already adopted ASC 842 should apply the amendments in ASU 2018-20 at the original effective date for ASC 842. Alternatively, these entities may apply the amendments either in the first reporting period ending after Dec. 10, 2018, or in the first reporting period beginning after that date.

An event every month that begins at 8:00 AM on the 3rd Thusday of the month.
During the summer, Eagle Pride Golf Course’s ponds, thick, diverse habitat, and location only one-half mile from Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge make it a great place to spot many bird species, especially in these busiest months of the birding year. Five swallow species abound and nest at the course, for example, and over 70 species of birds have been documented in the last couple of years. Meet at the driving range parking spaces. Take exit 116 off I-5N. Turn north off the ramp and then right into the golf course. The driving range access road, a narrow gravel road, is an immediate left, or you can park in the main lot and easily walk up to the driving range. As always, dress for the weather and bring water and snacks as needed. If you have questions, contact David Wienecke at david.l.wienecke.naf@mail.mil or call his office phone 253-964-0341.

EthosCE is an ACCME PARS compliant, open-source learning management system for CME. DLC Solutions is currently deploying EthosCE to support all of the Office of CME’s live and enduring activities, assessments, certificates, learner data, and reporting within one centralize Web application. SMS is a technology that enables standards-compliant smartphones to share 160-character text messages and is the most popular smartphone feature currently in use today.
Please Note: Our feature article appears in the March/April issue of Medical Meetings Magazine and describe this initiative in much greater detail. In addition, I have posted our presentation slides below.
Mapped out the existing RSS application, peer-review, and approval process, which primarily consisted of PDF and PowerPoint documents being completed, reviewed, and routed via email.
Identified all “touch points” and triggers that required administrative action and began to identify areas for automation.
Each department’s Grand Rounds Coordinator completes and routes the Web-based RSS application and content to OCME for review and approval.
Office of CME RSS Coordinator is notified by email and, upon login, is able to review the application and content in the RSS Dashboard.
If required, the application and content is routed for peer-review.
The peer-reviewer logs in to EthosCE, reviews the application and presentation content and completes an online form either recommending approval or rejection of the application with qualifying commentary.
Office of CME RSS coordinator is notified by email of peer-review completion and recommendations. The RSS is either formally approved or rejected in the LMS with email notification going to the applying department’s grand rounds coordinator.
Accreditation and SMS shortcode information for the newly approved RSS program is created in EthosCE LMS for the the department grand rounds coordinator.
DLC Solutions created an application programming interface (API) between EthosCE’s Attendance Module and Mobivity’s Drupal SMS Module (which we modified) to enable the acceptance, validation, and recording of RSS attendance to the learners’ official online CME transcript.
Registered UPenn health care providers can login to EthosCE at anytime to review and download their CME transcript.
Finally, an XML export process was built using the ACCME’s PARS specification—this process will allow for export of annual data from the OCME database, which can then be uploaded directly to the PARS web interface for ACCME annual reporting.
17.2% of non-SMS attendees reported having a smartphone, but did not enable or pay for a text messaging plan.
2.4% did not have a mobile smartphone.
These attendees (averaging 3-5 people per session) were easily and quickly entered into the database by the coordinator.
We are very excited about the outcome of our work with the University of Pennsylvania and are looking forward to further automation of the Office of CME using EthosCE and other innovative technologies. We hope that this initiative will serve as a model for the CME community and encourage the broader use of open source Web and smartphone technologies.

Have you ever wished to learn another masechta in Shas but you were not able to find the impetus to do so? Or you would love to learn consistently, every day, but find the Daf Yomi schedule too demanding. You may also wish to broaden your horizons by learning novi or mishnayos and lack a formal structure to undertake the limud.
A learning program which has been successful answering these questions in Baltimore, MD over the last fifteen years is now being launched in major Jewish cities across the U.S. and Canada. Called the Siyum HaTorah Project, the program's goal is for participants to finish Chumash, novi and Shas Bavli by dividing them up amongst members of the community and finishing all the seforim at the end of one year. A large, communal Siyum HaTorah then takes place in which the participants of the learning program are invited to take part in a seudas mitzva that highlights Torah learning. The siyum gathering itself, which celebrates the completion of some many different chalokim of Torah on a communal level, gives its participants the incentive to pursue new goals of learning and to climb even higher to new spiritual heights.
The city of Baltimore, one of the major cities on America's eastern seaboard, is home to one of the largest Jewish communities in the United States. In the Park Heights section of the city, the main Jewish neighborhood, the streets are lined with single-family homes that have mezuzas prominently affixed on their doors. Reisterstown Road, a main business street, boasts many Jewish stores that cater to the community's needs.
Many yeshivos call Baltimore home, most notably Ner Yisroel, located on Mt. Wilson Lane right outside Baltimore. The shuls are led by prominent rabbonim such as Rabbi Moshe Heinemann and Rabbi Yaakov Hopfer, among others. Shiurim and other types of learning programs are offered in the shuls with strong attendance by community members. Rabbi Yissochor Frand's popular Torah tape series is recorded at his weekly Torah shiur in Baltimore.
In 1986, Reb Yerachmiel Boruch Friedman, then president of Agudath Israel of Baltimore and a noted community askon, had an interesting idea: make a program that would add even more to the tremendous amount of learning already taking place in town. He proposed the Siyum HaTorah project under which the participants would divide up the Chumash, novi, and Shas, learn them, and finish them all within a year.
To participate, one only had to commit oneself to what he felt comfortable learning: even a perek in Chumash was considered participation in this project. Others would take seforim they had never previously learnt to broaden their Torah base. All age groups could participate, for regardless of one's level of learning, he could always find his niche within all the seforim that were learnt. The collective learning that resulted from the program would infuse in those taking part a sense of accomplishment for everyone could feel they too have a part in the essence of Yiddishkeit: limud HaTorah.
Reb Yerachmiel, together with yb"lcta Rabbi Joseph Schechter, approached the rabbonim of Baltimore who endorsed the project, and then presented it to the community at large. The subsequent history of the Siyum HaTorah speaks for itself; every year since then there has been a siyum. Last year 200 people participated in the project and 600 people attended the siyum, which was graced by the presence of the prominent Baltimore rabbonim.
Through the generosity of the noted philanthropist Mr. Howard Friedman, the son of Reb Yerachmiel z"l, Siyum HaTorah projects are beginning to take hold in many other North American cities. "Last year Monsey made a second Siyum HaTorah," says Rabbi Yosef Grossman, National Director of the Siyum HaTorah. "We are now expanding to Toronto, Lakewood, and Queens, NY, this year with hopefully more cities to join down the road."
The project is called Mifal Zichron Yerachmiel Boruch, named after Reb Yerachmiel Boruch Friedman who conceived and organized the first Siyum HaTorah project.
The Monsey Siyum HaTorah took place after this last Chanukah with 600 people participating. Rabbi Mattisyahu Salomon, mashgiach of Lakewood Yeshiva, and Rabbi Noach Isaac Delbaum, the noted Daf Yomi Maggid Shiur inspired the audience with their heartfelt divrei chizuk.
The Toronto committee, headed by Rabbi Avrohom Bartfeld and Mr. Ralph Levin, undertook the project in their city after hearing about the successful Monsey siyum. They consulted with the local rabbonim, who enthusiastically endorsed the idea. They plan to make their siyum next Shavuos.
The Lakewood program plans to complete the entire Shas several times during their yearly cycle. Their siyum is planned for next Adar.
The Queens Siyum Hatorah is run in conjunction with the Vaad LeChizuk HaTorah of Queens. The Vaad is involved in establishing many Torah-learning projects that benefit the Queens community. They plan their siyum in February 2002.
Rabbi Grossman added that even those communities that aren't big enough to make a siyum on their own are working to team up with other communities so together they can make a siyum.
In the turbulent times we are living through today in Eretz Yisroel and abroad, the poignant words of the paytan that are said on erev Rosh Hashonoh and Neila on Yom Kippur come to mind: "Ein lonu shi'ur, rak Hatorah hazos." All we have to rely on are the teachings of our Holy Torah. Through the chizuk the Siyum Hatorah provides in limud Hatorah, let us hope this program, along with the other learning that Klal Yisroel studies will enable us to bring Moshiach soon, Amen.

a learning program which has been successful answering these questions in baltimore, md over the last fifteen years is now being launched in major jewish cities across the u.s. and canada. called the siyum hatorah project, the program's goal is for participants to finish chumash, novi and shas bavli by dividing them up amongst members of the community and finishing all the seforim at the end of one year. a large, communal siyum hatorah then takes place in which the participants of the learning program are invited to take part in a seudas mitzva that highlights torah learning. the siyum gathering itself, which celebrates the completion of some many different chalokim of torah on a communal level, gives its participants the incentive to pursue new goals of learning and to climb even higher to new spiritual heights.

I'm frequently the recipient of posted responses and emails, and I'm pleased to say that the majority of them are quite pleasant and supportive. Some, unfortunately, are downright hostile. Others fall somewhere in the middle -- questioning my views, requesting that I reconsider, providing me with additional source material that I didn't have before. And while compliments are awesome, I really appreciate the people who take the time to provide me with constructive criticism -- because, as I recently commented, I'm always happy to revise my views when presented with facts, evidence, or even a logical argument I hadn't heard before.
Last week, I was the recipient of three responses to recent posts, that I thought were worthy of responding to in a subsequent post. So, lo, here is the response. In order not to leave my readers on a negative note, I present them in decreasing order of vitriol.
The first one was a reply to my last post, regarding the "Baltic Sea Anomaly," in which I described the beliefs of certain folks that the structure is a sunken Nazi superweapon. The response I got said, in part, that the structure was "perfectly circular" with "vertical straight lines," and therefore couldn't be natural in origin; the writer then went on to say that "no one except me" claimed that the thing could interfere with planes, and asked why if I "obviously had no understanding of the facts" I "waste my time and my reader's time writing this drivel."
Well, okay, then. First of all, I'm not the one claiming that the alleged "Nazi superweapon" was interfering with airplanes; the source did, which I both quoted and posted a link to. I, you might recall if you'd read more carefully, was the one that doubted such claims were true. Second, I don't know where the responder took geometry class, but the "Anomaly" is certainly not a perfect circle. And as far as straight lines -- those abound in nature. In fact, I just saw yesterday, in a park not ten miles from my house, fault lines in a cliffside so straight they look like they were cut with a saw.
However, allow me to clarify one thing, because perhaps I did overstate my case. The point of the post was to rail against people who seem bound and determined, without any hard evidence, to turn this thing into something bizarre. My statement, "It's just a pile of rocks," should have said, "As far as the evidence we now have, there is no reason to reject the conclusion that it's just a pile of rocks." Could it be something else? Of course. It could be a drowned structure from a Stone Age settlement, constructed when the sea level was far lower. It could be a something-or-another from the Nazis. It could, although it is much less likely, be a crashed spaceship. But thus far, all we have is a few images, and some anecdotal reports of electronic equipment malfunctioning -- and myself, I am hanging onto the conclusion that William of Ockham would have favored, which is that it is some sort of geological formation, such as a faulted pillow basalt. If hard evidence proves me wrong, that's fine, and will undoubtedly be more interesting than my rather ho-hum explanation -- and I will happily eat crow and print a retraction here. But until that time, the wild speculation is getting to be rather tiresome.
You have written more than once in your blog that you will only accept something if you have hard evidence, and that beliefs in the absence of hard evidence are what you call "woo-woo." I think the flaw in your argument has to do with what you would consider "hard evidence." Why couldn't there be a natural phenomenon that we haven't yet designed a machine to detect? Maybe ghosts exist, and the only way to sense them is with our minds. You would rule that out because you don't see a needle moving on a device, and yet it's real. And my sense is that you're so closed-minded that even if you were to be presented with evidence for the supernatural, you'd rule it out because you'd already decided that none of that stuff is true.
First of all, I must point out that the latter is the hazard not only with perennial skeptics like myself, but with everyone. We all come with our set of preconceived notions about how the world works. If I hear a creaking noise in an old house at night, of course my first inclination will be to assume that it's some sort of natural phenomenon (a branch rubbing the roof, an animal in the attic, or the like). But how is that different than the True Believer? To him/her, a creaking of the floorboards is automatically assumed to be evidence of haunting.
The difference, I think, is that for a skeptic (and I would include here skeptics who are inclined to believe in ghosts -- and there are a few out there), you don't stop at that assumption. You examine your evidence, and you keep your biases out front where you can see them -- and you look for more data. Skeptics, I think, tend to have restless minds, and aren't content with just saying, "Oh, okay, I know what that is, I can stop thinking about it now." We are, in our best moments, open to a revision of our explanations -- but only if the evidence supports it.
And as far as there not being a machine to detect ghosts, that one I've heard before -- the argument that goes along the lines of, "We didn't know x-rays existed until scientists built a sensor that could detect them. Maybe there are energies we haven't learned to detect, yet." That is possible, but I'd put it in the "doubtful" category -- physicists have become exceedingly good at measuring energy of varying types, even when those traces are faint (to give just one example, look at the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy study, which detects extremely small fluctuations in the microwave background radiation in the sky as a way of elucidating the structure of the early universe). I find it hard to believe that with all of the big effects that the woo-woos claim -- telekinesis, telepathy, spirit survival, and so on -- that none of our current devices can demonstrate unequivocal hard evidence of any of them.
You shouldn't scoff at people for venerating, or finding spirituality, in objects. All of our ancestors did that very thing. I'll bet that there are objects you are attached to -- for sentimental reasons, perhaps, but still, it's not "just a thing" for you. And maybe the people who find spirituality in objects are right, and you're missing a big part of the universe by considering everything around you to just be inanimate matter.
Well, first of all, I reread my post, and I didn't think I did much scoffing. At least, not nearly as much as I usually do. Maybe I did some covert, implied scoffing, I dunno. But in any case, the responder is correct that I don't think there is "spirit" in matter, and that our ancestors did, in general, believe that there was. Our ancestors, you might recall, believed a lot of other things, too, and a good many of them have since been proven to be false, so just because some great-great-grandmother of mine thought that a particular ring had magical powers doesn't impel me to believe it out of some sense of familial respect.
In any case, it all comes back to my favorite word, "evidence." A random pattern burned into a piece of toast is just not sufficient for me to conclude that Jesus has sent me his Holy Image. Some people in Venezuela declaring that a particular rock is their Wise Grandmother doesn't mean that out of respect for their cultural beliefs, I have to accept that it is literally true. I will fall back on what I said in the post; I believe in treating all people with respect, dignity, and kindness, but that does not require me to accept that what they're saying is correct.
In any case, I really appreciate the feedback, and although I would prefer not to have what I write referred to as "drivel," it's better to have hostile responses than no responses. As Brendan Behan famously said, "There's no such thing as bad publicity." So keep those cards and letters comin'.
It's possible that there are some phenomena that can only be detected by the human mind, by means of some woo emanations that we don't have an instrument to detect. Especially when you consider that not every detector that physicists have the ability to design, is necessarily available to the people looking into a phenomenon.
However, that's not an excuse for failing to investigate scientifically. If an effect is real, then when it occurs, different people should experience it at the same time. So you have a way to test. Of course you have to set things up to prevent the people from influencing each other.
If different people independently viewing the same area can't agree on what's happening or even when something interesting is happening, then I submit that the best explanation for the phenomenon is imagination.
It also doesn't remove the obligation to check for those things we _can_ detect. We already know that low-frequency sound can make people think they're experiencing a haunting. If you investigate a supposed haunting, and you _don't_ check for the presence of subsonics, then you've failed to eliminate a likely explanation for the experience.

Does any American not think that we have enemies? If so, they are delusional. I do not believe that we should be isolationists, but I do think that we should be more discerning who we trade with and borrow from.
Does anyone remember Russian Premier Krushchev pounding his shoe on the table at the United Nations shouting, “We will bury you!”? Communistic nations can overtake our nation in ways more subtle and devious than by warfare.
I applaud our president for ousting the Russian “diplomats” (spies) and imposing trade restraints on other nations. His primary job is to keep us safe, both militarily and economically.

IPL 2018 social media insights: Can DD beat RR to stay in the game?
The IPL league standings were shaken up yesterday, following a huge victory by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) against the current holders, Mumbai Indians (MI). The chances of this repeating are quite significant, as the current wooden spoon holders Delhi Daredevils (DD) take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) – a side that is striving hard towards playoff positions. DD’s spark, following a change in captaincy, seems to be fading following their loss against CSK, while RR is yet to find any kind of consistency in all departments of the game if they want to keep their playoff chances alive. All in all, an exciting match-up is on the wings, with both teams looking to post some much-needed points on the table.
The DD vs. RR match is going to be intense, and one can sense this on social media, too, as supporters of both teams have been pretty active on the social channels. Based on the scales and social media metrics, such as visibility, favourability, and the affinity indexes, RR edges out DD marginally in terms of support on social media. It is heartening to see so much support for both these sides, despite their lackluster performance this year.
Will Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant fire again for Delhi?
Will the underfire Delhi bowling set the record straight today?
Has Sanju Samson’s purple patch gone for good this season?
Can Jofra Archer continue his merry run with the ball?
What do the social media results say?
RR edges ahead of DD in terms of support on social media. No surprises here, given their loss against CSK.
A majority of social media fans trust DD to outpace RR in today’s match. However, the affinity index tells us a different story. Here, RR surpasses DD in terms of support on Twitter and Facebook.
Opinions surrounding the result of the match is prominent on social media channels, as both DD and RR fans predict the winner. Some fans are also curious to find out who will pick up the most number of wickets in the match. Names like Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan, and Trent Boult are making rounds on social media pretty frequently.
What to expect from tonight’s game?

Liverpool Under-21 manager Michael Beale expects both Samed Yesil and Marc Pelosi to make imminent recoveries from their respective long-term injuries after lengthy spells on the sidelines for two of the club's rising stars.
Yesil has been absent for 21 of the past 25 months after separate anterior cruciate ligament injuries, the most recent suffered in January 2014 having spent eight months out after the initial blow occurred in February 2013.
Pelosi, meanwhile, has missed 14 months after breaking his leg, only returning in January but he is yet to rediscover full fitness and his condition is being managed.
While Yesil has played twice for Liverpool in the League Cup ties against West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City in September 2012, Pelosi is regarded as a rising star in the Liverpool academy having already been earmarked by United States manager Jurgen Klinsmann.
Pelosi was called into the United States national team at the start of 2015, while he is likely to feature for Liverpool before the end of the current campaign.
"Samed's obviously had two terrible injuries and he's come back, and it's just the little niggles that go around it now, getting his body right," Beale told the Liverpool Echo. "It's very much the same with Marc Pelosi. I'd be really disappointed if we don't see him on the pitch in the next month playing and that again.
"Samed, over the Christmas period, was looking really, really good and then unfortunately football sometimes just kicks you when you're already down, sometimes football can be really cruel. So let's just hope for the best, his finishing in training has been right up there with the best, he hasn't lost his touch. So I assure the fans that when he does get back you'll see him scoring goals."

Rosemary Knits: I won at Taos!
I am so excited! I entered three skeins into the Taos Wool Festival, and all three won prizes!
My skein of Alpaca/Nylon sock yarn won first place in its division, and won Reserve Grand Champion for the spindle spun yarn!
I knit a swatch, and oooohhhhh this is going to make a nice pair of socks! I used US000 needles, and I plan on knitting just a plain stockinette sock, or maybe a use the stitch pattern, "King Charles Brocade" on the cuff.
Entered in the Spindle Category, Expert (because I've won competitions in the past, and because I teach spinning lessons. I feel like such a fraud - I'm FAR from an "expert"- I consider myself an advanced beginner - but these were the rules), plied, undyed alpaca fiber.
The judge marked on the card, "3 ply" and I just had to smile to myself. See, some folks insist that Navajo Plied yarn isn't really a 3 ply, it's a single ply, folded upon itself. I must admit to a certain immaturity, but I get endless amusement out of this, lol.
At any rate, I just love to do this ply on the fly method of plying yarn. I think that it is really fun to do, and for me, spinning is an area in my life where I want to have fun. So... I use this method of plying for just about everything.
Remember the socks which I spun and knitted for my friend, Anastasia? Well, she's not really a shoes and socks sort of lady, so I had knit her a pair of bed socks. She waxed so nostalgic about her sheep ranching days, that I would like to spin and knit a pair of gloves for her - so that she can wear the gloves out in public and show them off to her friends, and they can all reminisce about their days, ranching in the valley. I think that she'll really like them.
I really am happy with this yarn. I really like Suffolk. Can you see the sheen? The judge commented that she didn't think that this yarn would make nice gloves, that it was too thin and too stiff. However, I plan to make a twisted-stitch glove, and the yarn came out exactly how I wanted it to - thin and tight - so I think that it'll make excellent gloves. I can't wait to get started knitting this project.
Top whorl drop spindle, approx 1 oz.
Entered in Spindle spun, expert, undyed wool, plied.
The yarn of which I am the most proud, however, is this one. I really REALLY like this yarn. I'm stunned that it even placed, as it's quite thick-n-thin, but I like it just the same. I love spinning with Alpaca, but I always spin it really fine. I think that Alpaca does very well spun fine, and truthfully, I've never been able to spin it any other way. I've always bought my roving from Eyedazzler Alpacas, and it's so nicely prepared and soft and wonderful so that it drafts really easily, and, well, it just always ends up as a really fine yarn. I was determined to learn how to spin a thicker, softer, loftier alpaca yarn, and when I saw this fleece (on the animal's back as I was vacuuming it, lol) I knew that this was the fleece I wanted. I knew, instantly, how I was going to spin it, and what I was going to make with it.
This is from the batch that I washed early this summer.
I flicked locks, then made pseudorolags and then spun just barely enough for the singles to hold together. This is sooooo different from my usual way of spinning! I spun it at such a low twist that the single couldn't support the weight of the spindle, so I used my bike wheel instead. I love Tammy Rizzo's Navajo Ply on the Fly technique, so I had to figure out how to make it work on my spindle wheel. It took some head-scratching, but I finally came up with a method which works and is quite easy, actually. The end result is a nice, soft, lofty yarn and I just love it.
As you can see from these photos, the fleece has some natural color gradation. I sorted the fleece into three piles, light, medium and dark, and spun to as to maintain this slight variation. I'm really thrilled with the end result.
This was really a stretch for me - I feel like I really learned a lot from this project. Best of all, it was really FUN!
Fleece from the alpaca named "Nico" who lives at Eyedazzler Alpacas.
Entered in wheelspun, expert, undyed alpaca, plied.
Entering fiber competitions is so much fun! I wasn't able to attend the Taos Wool Festival - I sent my entries to the festival with some friends. They tell me that it was a good competition, that there were quite a few entries. Sigh. I wish I could have gone. I would have loved to see all of the skeins, and I especially wish that I could have seen all of the prize winners.
There's something I'd like to point out - many of us entered yarns and other items made from fibers from Eyedazzler Alpacas, and all of us won ribbons! My friends, Sharron, Erin, and Peggy (and maybe others who I don't know) spun Eyedazzler yarn and won ribbons. Sharron knitted a hat which won a ribbon. A woman made a needle-felted sculpture out of Eyedazzler fiber, and won a ribbon. Allie, one of the owners of Eyedazzler entered a fleece and won Grand Champion!
I'd say that this only proves what I've been saying all along - Eyedazzler Alpacas produces some glorious fiber!!! Allie recently received a new shipment from the fiber mill, and oh my gosh, she has some wonderful blends. My favorites are Bing Cherry Cordial and Storm Watch - the colors are wonderful, just wonderful. It's really fun for me because I know these animals, so when I see their names in the descriptions, it gives me a little thrill, lol. I see something like this, Charley, Tori and Bamboo, and I think to myself, "Hmmm.... I know Charley and I know Tori, but I don't remember an alpaca named "Bamboo..." and then suddenly it hits me, heh heh heh.
Anyway, you absolutely can't go wrong with any fiber purchase from Eyedazzler. If there's something that you want, but don't see on the web site, then be sure to drop Allie a line and ask her - she has loads of products which are not on the site. Just email her!
Congratulations 3Times! Beautiful spinning! And Navajo ply is my favorite too!
Way to go Rosemary! Lovely, wonderful, beautiful. Think you will get to attend Taos next year? Can't wait to see what you do then.
Sandy, I'd love to be able to go next year, but October always ends up really busy for us - I'll have to wait and see - I'd sure love to go. I need a year where you can enter fibers grown in California, so that I can enter something spun from YOUR fiber! And, thanks!
What a great thing! I had a friend who went to Taos! Was so jealous!
Congratulations! Your yarns are so beautiful. I'm glad you're blogging again. There's only so many times I can look at your archives.
mazel tov! i've just started plying on the fly w her technique and it's wonderful. though my handspun looks nothing like yours, i'm definitely beginner. congrats!
I luv to make handknit socks from my 3 ply alpaca blends...they are super soft and durable.
Your yarns are absolutely lovely..I can see why you won!
