The Red Sox and Phillies have talked about a Cole Hamels deal | Around The Base
In the wake of the Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval news, the most common comment I’ve heard is “well, the Red Sox still need pitching.” About that:
The Red Sox could certainly use him and the Phillies could certainly use, well, anyone, so there is at least a theoretical matchup here. The biggest issue is whether Ruben Amaro, who is reported to be a bit unrealistic about the potential return he can get for his players, will ask for something reasonable in return.

EmmaKisstina Illustrations by Kristina Hultkrantz: Branding and Niche
Branding and Niche
Today's Question: How did you go about branding and finding your niche?
Branding may be the funnest and most important (besides your fantabulous product) part of starting your own business. It's really fun researching logo designs, colors and fonts of other artists, designers and brands and then making something that is your own, which represents you, your great taste and image. (Pinterest makes this really easy and there are tons of free fonts sites like Dafont.com to search through.) Easier said than done I suppose; to just come up with a design. But once you see 'the font' or 'the color' or 'that border' you just know it's right. I'm so glad I've been able to do all this on my own; and didn't have to inlist the services of a graphic designer. This way I could test lots of things out and develop my look over time, until I found something I really like... and which also really represents my business in the way that I'd like it to be perceived. With out wasting spending lots of money.
• Stick to a limited color palette
• Limit yourself to one or two fonts
• Don't get 1000 business cards or signs printed right away. Allow your logo design to sink in, so you know that it is just right.
• Take a look at this super inspiring wonderfully type filled Pinterest board by Very Asia.
I've redesigned my website and blog a million times (read 4 - 5 times) and my logo once. I'm finally after 5 years (oops that's a bit too long, but sometimes things take time) got my design and logo finalized. But who knows, I might redesign next year. I just think redesigning too often can be a bit confusing to your followers and buyers. Even this week you may have noticed some changes on the blog as I've been putting much more effort and time here... and needed a space to match. (I'm quite pleased and think this design will stick around for quite a while.)
Your niche kind of finds you. My work is pretty obvious and my niche is most definitely majority women with a love for fashion (but appeals to many ages.) Once this became apparent (after lots of the same sorts of blogs contacted me) I could confidently submit my work to fashion magazines and fashion blogs directed towards a few different age groups. There is no point for me to waste my time submitting my work to blogs or magazines with audiences that wouldn't appreciate my work.
Oh my goshie, I'm thrilled&speechless!! Another great advice + my pinboard mentioned!! It's a honour! Thank you Kristina!!!:)))I'm so happy for your lil trip to Paris, have fun! It's definitely one of my fave places/cities!
You're so welcome Asia! keep up the great work! I seriously can't wait for Paris. xo

Yesterday's Gone: Season Three (Unabridged) The Truth According to Us (Unabridged) Flora and Ulysses (Unabridged) What Members Say
"Secret languages of flowers is a wonderful benefit"
The book was a typical love story of a poor girl lost in the world making good on her life, but the author was able to weave into the story these wonderful elements of the language of flowers. I never knew there was such a history of types of flowers for different emotions and desires. Very interesting and well performed. More Less
Elizabeth, because like many a mother, she wasn't perfect. More Less
I don't think I've ever disliked the main character in a book before, but I ended up disliking Victoria as an adult. I got her anger and aloofness as a child, but couldn't stand it as she grew up. At the point when she got pregnant and ended her relationship with Grant, my interest in the book ended. I listened to the rest just to finish the book. I may have had a different experience had I read it, but I did not find the story engaging. Sorry!
Has The Language of Flowers turned you off from other books in this genre?
It wasn't Tara Sand's performance - it was just that I didn't like the main character.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? It was delightful learning about the meaning of flowers. More Less
"Sappy, chick story"
What disappointed you about The Language of Flowers?
I found the main character unrealistic and unlikable. Her actions just did not make sense other than that she was selfish and made poor decisions. I could tell what was going to happen next. The flower theme became tiresome and empty. Very overrated sappy chick book. What do you think your next listen will be?
That is all by John Hodgeman
She is a great reader, expressive, clear. I would listen to something she read again. You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The flower thing had some promise and the author does write nice prose, I just could not stand the overly romantic, overly emotional story line. I could not figure out why the supporting characters seemed to like the main character who gave them little to latch on to. More Less
Sue Dorick Taylor
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes! I work with kids, so it was interesting to hear Victoria's responses to situations.
It ran the gamut of emotions, laughter, sadness, empathy, tears.
This is the first time I had a book skip chapters. Each time at the beginning of listening, the book skipped 1-2 chapters. Also, the chapter numbers(auditorially) did not match those listed, which made it hard to get back.
Would you consider the audio edition of The Language of Flowers to be better than the print version? I actually had both the audio and print version of the book and switched on and off depending on the situation. The audio was great...when I switched to print I would hear the audio voices in my head! My only complaint with the audio is that it was slow. I could read the book much faster. What other book might you compare The Language of Flowers to and why?
I'm not sure. It's quite a unique story. I think if you liked The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley, you'd like this book. They're the same type of read. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, but learning about the meaning of each flower variety was really interesting. I haven't looked at flowers the same since. More Less
The author made of a rather common topic a very enjoyable reading experience.
The reunion of Elizabeth and Victoria after many years of absence from each other's life.
Not a particular one.
Cry at times, but for the most part, wonder over the possibilities of events such as those described may occur.
The book is not a master-piece, but in keeping with today's writing trends, I think this is better than many. I wished the narrator had more dynamic and more interest in better reding, though I could tolerate her, at times< monotone style.

Nest | hillwards
Nest	This entry was posted on September 5, 2012, in Cats, Craft and tagged cats, craft, crochet. Bookmark the permalink.	5 Comments
With the arrival of a new cat (Faith), and inspired by a pattern I came upon online, I turned my hand to my first proper attempt at crochet, to make a ‘nest’ for her.
I bought some thick carpet yarn, in Berber wool, armed myself with a 7.5mm crochet hook, and within a few nights had constructed a surprisingly sturdy open cat bed. I love to use natural fibres and materials around the house, and particularly enjoy the contrast between the rich textures of chunky knits against the smooth surface of the leather sofa or slate floors. It’s a bonus that bulky wools knit or crochet up a lot faster too!
Whenever I put my work-in-progress down on the sofa, I invariably found a cat sitting on it, which boded well, although it was Xander as often as Faith.
I’m really pleased with how it turned out – and so, it would appear, is Xander. We keep finding him sleeping in it.
Since it was completed, Faith hasn’t had a look-in. I think I’m going to have to start another one…

hillwards says:	September 5, 2012 at 12:32 pm	Thanks – hope you complete yours soon and have a happy kitty (or two!)
Hannah Ackroyd says:	September 5, 2012 at 2:08 pm	Haha just the one kitty but hopefully she will be happy with it!
Janet/Plantalisciousj says:	September 8, 2012 at 9:42 pm	Oooh, I’m jealous – of a cat! Any chance you can do a human sized one?! And I agree, fabulous contrast in colour and texture.
hillwards says:	September 10, 2012 at 10:04 am	Hah, it’s so tempting isn’t it. Thank you.

Dave's Daily T-Shirts: T-shirt #63: University of Prince Edward Island
I got this one last year during my yearly visit to The Island. When I think of PEI, many things come to mind.
From my youth, the 14 hour trips (with the ferry ride), leaving at 4AM for those trips, meeting my grandparents who were already up there, endless wiffle ball games, Mr. Dressup, the smell of the dewy grass in the morning as I ran to my grandmother’s cottage for breakfast, years the McGraths and O’Neills were there together, mini golf, visiting the farm, The Hughes Family, Rainbow Valley, the beach, Tim Hortons, flashlight tag, the talking crow, the big stone in front of the cottage, my father taking pictures and/or movies, ketchup potato chips, the swings in the basement, Cavendish, deep sea fishing, the screen house, and endless card games with my siblings and grandmother (who would call us “little shits” if we took a card she needed).
For the years after college until now, PEI makes me think of relaxing mornings, going to see The Fiddlers’ Sons, Cynthia MacLeod, and Richard Wood, Cows, visiting the UPEI bookstore, fun with my nephews and niece, watching Trailer Park Boys, how many more stars you see in the sky at night, Dalvay Beach, playing roller hockey, Adam McQuaid, Piazza Joe’s, actually reading books, and laughing at all hours.
Most of all, PEI means family to me. It means being in one of my favorite places with my favorite people.
Also pictured with me is my newest book of poetry which I just got in the mail today, woo hoo! Below is a poem in it that makes references to PEI…enjoy!
I miss you famously,
Like how many stars on a
Late August night In Prince Edward Island,
A single dot in our Milky Way of sharing.
A need, not want to look up at the same sky,
Sleep until whenever,
To get up and create new constellations of art.
To the acres of fields The Moon begs the Sun to harvest,
This eclipse has me wandering
With only my pen,
Searching for even a tease of light
To record this phenomenon.
My faith goes to you,
My ideal dream, blanket of beauty.
I will find you somehow,
Even collapsed,
I will carry you in the moonlight
To a sandy PEI beach.
And, music, music, music, music,
Music...a planet of music for you.

melsanchezsantillan@gmail.com -Provide feedback to both teachers and students of eLearning courses, and detection of atypical or non-adaptive learning behaviors.
eGraph is a virtual tool developed with the aim of make easier to track the students´ learning process in Learning Management Systems like Moodle. It is based in the log files that the learning platform records when the students are interacting with and allows teachers, students, and researchers to track the learning route that learners have followed during a particular time span.
The tool has been developed in five phases as suggested in other works [3].
The Content Management System is used by students and the logs are stored in the database. Particularly, to develop and test this tool it has been used the data available from 576 third-year graduate students from the University of Oviedo during a 13 weeks eLearning course.
H.2.8 [Database Applications]: Data Mining; E.1 [Data Structures]: Graphs and networks; K.3.1 [Computer Uses in Education]: Computer-managed instruction (CMI)
3.2 Preprocessing data and setting variables of interest
For this particular course we have chosen two main groups of variables, but they can be easily changed according to the teacher/researcher´s goals: -Variables represented as different color nodes regarding course contents. Seven different variables were selected: theoretical content view, summary view, multimedia content view, task view, task submission, forum view, and forum participation. Different colors were assigned to each variable to facilitate their visualization. The nodes are numbered by chronological order. -Variables represented as edges regarding time between different actions and activation of previous knowledge. Different thickness is assigned to each variable to facilitate their visualization. In addition, red colors have been applied to the edges in order to identify when the student is working on previous contents.
Graph, learning process educational data mining. visualization, adaptive feedback,
While students learn, explore, fail or procrastinate in a Learning Management System (LMS) leave traces [1]. Nowadays, one of the most commonly used LMS in higher educational contexts is Moodle (modular object oriented developmental learning environment). Moodle automatically records a vast amount of information in the so-called logs, which is valuable for analyzing student´s behavior. However, due to the vast quantity of data is very difficult to manage them manually. The eGraph tool is designed to assess participation and learning process of the students in Moodle in a fast and simple way, which otherwise would not be possible by the characteristics of the data (amounts of raw data with no sense if are not processed) and the eTeachingeLearnig Process itself (most of the times, the teacher has no technical knowledge apart from the basic user interaction with the system).
3.3 Applying Data Mining
Educational Data Mining technics are applied to build the model that summarizes the students learning process. To do so, there are both commercial and free data mining tools that can be used. Currently, Graph Mining technics are being tested with this purpose.
-Provide a specific tool allowing educators to thoroughly track and assess learner´s activities while evaluating the effectiveness of the course contents for the learning process. -Facilitate course adaptation and learning recommendations based on students´ learning behaviors and Adaptive Educational Hypermedia [2].

Wonder Woman is possibly the best superhero movie made in recent memory. Themes of love and never giving up on humanity are over-arching; the film resonates for the world, which seems to be gripped by dominant narratives of hate, exclusion and isolation.

Don't Let Petty Crime Spoil Your Vacation
February 07, 1999|By Cynthia Boal Janssens. Special to the Tribune.
It was about 9:15 in the evening and we three women were strolling through the gothic section of Barcelona, Spain, an area of winding streets filled with cafes and shops and plenty of people, when we stopped in a doorway to look at a menu.
Suddenly, there was an explosive sound behind us. My friend Sylvia was carrying a bottle of liqueur to take back to the States and I was sure she had dropped it. I fully expected to turn and see her drenched in Schnapps Limon-Vert. Instead, I was to hear her gasp, "He took my purse!"
A few months later, I was touring the old town of Quito, Ecuador, with a group of fellow writers when one fellow was jostled. After he recovered, he discovered that the side pocket of his pants had been slit.
In the cheery city of Dublin, three of my friends were taking a Sunday afternoon stroll, visiting the churches of that fair city. One of the three was a husky fellow well over 6 feet tall. However, one of the group was lagging behind, taking pictures. A fellow ran up behind her, grabbed her shoulder bag and kept on running. Only Dixie didn't let go. She held on tight and was dragged for several yards before she got her wits about her and opened her hand. He ran on and was immediately picked up at the curb by a car that had been following.
I tell you these stories not to scare you from going out on the streets when you travel, but to let you know that petty crime is alive and flourishing in most tourist areas and that you have to be ever-vigilant to prevent it. And, even if you are careful, you still may be victimized, so it is important to reduce your losses.
So what to do? Let's retrace these incidents. Technically, these people encountered a purse-snatcher, a pickpocket and a mugger. But who really cares about such distinctions?
In Barcelona, we now realize that Sylvia was perhaps easy target. First, she is 72; purse-snatchers often prey on older folks and women, who they know won't or can't chase them. She was wearing a brightly colored jacket from a running suit -- the cosmopolitan folks who live in Barcelona do not wear running suits in their city center on a Saturday night. Dark or neutral clothing is best. Last, she was wearing a small purse on a string around her neck, in clear sight. It should have been tucked inside.
So remember: Look at what the local people are wearing and try to blend in. Try not to gawk. Carry only a small purse or waist pack and keep it out of sight. There is a myth that waist packs are the best way to protect your valuables; definitely not so. Slick thieves can ride up alongside you on a bicycle and slit the waistband and be off with your goods in a blink. I suggest using waist packs to carry small cameras, tissues, sunglasses and petty cash. Keep credit cards and anything else you can't afford to lose elsewhere.
In the second incident, my friend Wayne really wasn't doing anything wrong. He was wearing cargo pants and the local thugs thought he might be carrying a wallet or a wad of cash in there. They came up empty-handed in this case, but his pants were ruined.
Men should be very careful about carrying wallets when traveling. My advice is: don't. Put your wallet in the hotel's safety deposit box and carry with you only the amount of cash you think you will need that day and one credit card. Mind you, only one credit card. If you really need the security of two, give the other to your traveling companion to carry. A good place for men to carry valuables is in the inside chest pocket of a travel vest, in a pocket with a zipper. Travel vests really are becoming the travel accessory, for men and women.
In the Dublin incident, I believe Dixie was targeted because she was a few steps behind her companions (they obviously were not deterred by Tyler, who is a real big guy) and because her purse was in clear view. If you absolutely must carry a larger purse, be sure to carry it with the strap across your shoulders (not over just one shoulder) and keep it in front of you with your hand on it. Even so, it someone wants to cut the strap and yank it away, be wary of holding on too long or you could be injured. Dixie was very shaken up and sore for days.
Also, she had her passport and several credit cards in her purse and had to spend most of a day dealing with the loss of those crucial items. Keep your passport in the hotel safety deposit box or with your cruise ship purser. Never carry all of your cash with you; divide it up and always leave some back in the room, perhaps tucked into the toe of a boot.
A final suggestion: Clean out your purse or wallet before leaving on your trip and bring with you only the essential credit cards. Also carry with you the numbers you need to cancel these cards immediately if they are stolen. (The officer at the Barcelona police station knew the Visa and MasterCard cancellation numbers by heart. I wonder why?) Leave all the other cards at home. Most of us tend to carry a fistful of cards; what a pain it is to have to cancel all of them.
Ditto for jewelry. We love to wear our best jewelry when we travel, but that is risky. Bring what you can wear -- and keep that simple -- and leave the rest behind. (Be sure to leave it in a safe place at home, lest you be victimized by thieves who prey on those who are traveling.) Rely on nice costume jewelry. This I know; I lost some very valuable jewelry, including an engagement ring, when my bag was rifled in Miami Airport.
I know, I know. The jewelry should not have been packed; of course, I should have been carrying it. But mistakenly it was packed, the only time I can ever remember that occurring, and I lost it all.

"the washington post" says mueller is eyeing a 2016 dinner, where else, but at a private cigar room in fancy manhattan. it ended with manafort, this gentleman kilimnick and rick gates leaving through separate doors. that's not like a cigar tradition as far as we can tell. that'

the kids came up explicitly. at this point mueller has not even interviewed junior yet. and there were certainly things about junior. and going back to the southern district and their relationship with michael has completely changed. it was very contentious going in. they signed off that two-month extension. they recommended it to the judge. so they're working very closely together and i've said on many shows. this ends with a rico charge in the southern district. this is where this ends where they go after the entire organization. you talked about a mob boss. that's what it was built for. someone who sits atop a criminal enterprise and is responsible for all of it. >> and that's a district you worked in. i want to play as you think about that possibility, cohen alleges trump did something that is partly why he's going to jail. the idea of who gets away with what. you were pointing out as we were coming out on the set regarding this, take a look at that moment today. >> to your knowledge, did the president ever provide inflated assets to a bank in order to help him obtain a loan?

government. this is sort of more serious version of the charge that a number of mueller targets have faced, which is failing to register as a foreign agent. what bijan kian was charged with in mid-december is sort of the more serious version of that crime. according to his lawyers, it is something that has only been charged in the united states a handful of times since the law was created. but bijan kian plead not guilty. he is not pleading guilty and agreeing to cooperate like most of the other people who were charged in the mueller investigation thus far. kian has plead not guilty. he wants to go to trial. today there was a hearing in his case to among other things set a trial date. kian's lawyers plead with the judge hearing that case in the eastern district of virginia that they needed quite a lot more time to prepare their defense before they would feel comfortable proceeding with a trial, and mostly their basis for arguing that today was that there is a ton of evidence to go through in the government's case, what they described of terabytes of data on multiple hard drives

from this will mueller report, right? >> yeah, i do. >> they expect too much. one group thinks that the president is going to be led out of the white house in handcuffs and is going to end up in an orange jumpsuit and the other says, oh, it's going to be pall roses and flowers and everything is going to smell like glade air fresher and it's going to be great. it's going to be none of that. it's going to be somewhere in the middle and people should just brace themselves. if you love him, vote for him in 2020. if you don't like him, vote him out in 2020 and then he's gone and he'll have to deal with the rest. do you think i'm wrong on that? >> i don't. look, we could both be wrong. there could be some real earth-shattering things. i just don't know why mueller wouldn't have acted on them before now. maybe there will be another wave of action by him. we keep hearing those whispers, it's closer to the end than the beginning, so putting aside that surpri surprise, i think that you don't have a massive prosecution of the president coming up here. i don't even know if it's possible. but th

Facing Autism in New Brunswick: Autism`s 40% With Intellectual Disability? Auti$m $peak$ Doesn't See YOU, Doesn't Speak For YOU!
I happen to be among the majority of autistics that aren't either practicably gifted or super-smart. I spent many a years to get to the level of functioning I am now. Even now, I happen to have problems, such as being accepted by my peers, ADD, OCD,etc. I fantasize a lot about the life that was taken away from me before birth. Autism Speaks isn't so much a charity as such, as a private research arm for the American corporate medical complex. After all, if they really wanted to cure autism, they wouldn't make any more money from treating symptoms, even with 'Obamacare' in place. Autism Speaks sure doesn't speak for me.
