Newport Music Hall in Columbus, OH
Fan Recaps and Comments:
review by Brent
Warning to everyone: This is a long and detailed account of some folks from Cincinnati's viewpoint on the Columbus TMBG show at Newport Music Hall.
Without a doubt, this was certainly the most interesting show that I've been to. This is my fifth TMBG concert, and the only concert I've ever attended outside of my hometown of Cincinnati. For some reason or another, the fabulous Johns have been avoiding our town for a couple years now, but I'm glad we made the drive to Columbus even if we didn't see the whole show.
Our little party consisted of myself and friends Joe, Ed (aka Bone Lord -don't ask-) and Ben, all of whom which I often join in the sport of Geocaching. We had been to Columbus many times earlier this year for that reason. We did not purchase tickets for the Preshow, mostly because we weren't sure if we'd make it in time. If only we had known that the preshow was starting forty-five minutes later than scheduled. I heard a rumor being passed around that said that TMBG was late from doing an interview with local radio station, 101.1. I can't confirm this, if you know for sure, please turn this rumor into fact or fiction.
Leaving the Greater Cincinnati area by 5:20 pm, we drove faster than any person should up 71, and found a good parking spot by 6:50 pm. The whole way blasting through They albums in no particular order. Needless to say, we were suprised to see a person walking by asking about 'Pre-Show Tickets' after we had been standing in line for a bit. After the doors opened for regular ticketholders, we passed by a very enthusiastic freestyle rapper (rappist?) but had no spare change to offer up. We had to wait for Ben while he got his ticket from Will Call, as he purchased it less than six hours beforehand.
The layout of Newport Music Hall was quite a bit different than our Bogarts or Electra back home. The most interesting detail being that the floor layout allowed people a little further away to still have a good vantage point. A U-shaped pit-like section rested against the stage while a larger raised section with handrails surrounded it. Myself being patial to Linnell over Flansburgh (just a little) we opted for the right side of this platform, as the pit area was quite full when we got inside.
While waiting for the Ok-Go to start, we noticed a few crowd members that beared resemblance to our own party.. mainly an evil-looking version of Ed, and a guy who had the same-style beard as Joe. The evil-Ed (dubbed Ted -aka Goat Lord-) ended up coming right next to us and standing nearly in our view.
Ok-Go was a definate improvement on our recent opinion of opening bands. We recently saw 'Ben Folds', whose opening act was 'Citizen Cope', which was a very poorly constructed act without any emotion of any kind. Ok-Go, on the other hand, was very electrified and synchronized. Some songs were very entertaining, and even a little amusing. Partucularly their cover of 'Kiss me, Son of God'. I think that's the first time I'd ever seen an opening band cover a song of the band it's opening for. TMBG has kept my opinion high with their opening bands, 'You Were Spiraling' has become a personal favorite. I hope their soon-to-be-released album does well.
At some point during the intermission, a glass of beer was spilled on the floor directly in front of us... this made sitting down impossible. This opened up a discussion about inventing a chair that's built into your pants.
Receiving vigorous and robust applause, the band we've all come to know and love stepped out onto the stage, and opened with the Flood favorite, Particle Man, which had an interlude of the chorus from Bob Lind's "Elusive Butterfly of Love". Afterwards followed Dr. Worm and Cyclops Rock. James K. Polk displayed to power of twin confetti canons (They only have ever needed one in Cincinnati, but our venues are a bit smaller) followed by Birdhouse in your Soul. During this time, the Johns discussed the Weather channel, and how a big yellow and orange line was moving directly towards us. They began to speak of the weather channel now had a symbol for 'the horsemen of the apocalypse.' We laughed and the show went on.
What happened next changed the course of the rest of the evening. At exactly the end of 'Boss of Me', all the power cut out. At first, it seemed intentional, but we quickly noted that all of the bar lights were out, and the emergency lights were on. People in the balcony (running the lights and such) whipped out flashlights, and soon people on stage were as well. The lights panned around all over, acting like they were searching for a faulty wire or lamp of some kind. During this time, the crowd made an attempt to sing 'Whistling in the Dark', which was pretty amusing.
After about ten minutes, John Flansburgh came out and said something, none of which we could hear because of all the commotion. He disappeared and came back a little bit later with Linnell and explained that the power had gone out on the block, and they were obtaining a generator that was supposed to be only twenty minutes away. We later learned that it was not.
The Johns played 'Istanbul', and from our point of view, it was the most surrealistic thing we'd ever witnessed. First of all, since they had no mics, you could barely hear them at all even when the audience was silent. And since EVERYONE knows Istanbul, they tried to sing along, which drowned out the Johns. So, onstage, you saw them playing instruments and mouthing words, but heard only the audience.
After Flansburgh exlaimed 'Shut Up!' (which was received with laughter and agreement) he said that they would play "'a song that you don't know the words to, so you can't sing along. But if you do know the words, don't sing along." Of course, they played 'Maybe I know', which I'm sure nearly everyone there knew, but silence remained. I think they may have played another song, but I can't recall, then dissappeared again for about fifteen minutes. By this time it was approaching 10:30pm.
"Thing appear to be more fucked up than we thought." was the statement made by Flansburgh after a long period of trying to shush the audience again. They played a song (I didn't know it, something about squirrells) and tried to hush the audience again... (where were the Mega-phones and Airhorns they needed??) It was mentioned that the Generator was a lot further away than expected, so we should all 'Go home and get drunk' and come back at midnight. They left us with a sentiment saying "We're going to play a song about our home town, which has seen far worse distasters, and recently" then played 'New York City' with complete attention from the audience.
After stepping outside into the pouring rain and running back to the car, we saw that it was 11:00 pm. Now, we debated for a bit, as I had to work at 7 am the next morning, and we had a two hour drive ahead of us. I really, really, really wanted to stay, but an already pressing urge to find my way into my bed seeped in and drove us homeward. I would love to have an audio copy of the last portion of this concert if someone has it. I'll probably regret doing so for a long time, as other people's accounts noted the vast energy of the music when the power was restored. Maybe they'll come back to Cincinnati someday, but if not, at least Columbus isn't very far away.
review by JamesEnsor
I enjoyed reading Brent's review above and I have to say that when I learned of this Wiki I came here specifically to comment on this show. The whole power outage experience was quite surreal and of the many TMBG shows I've attended since the late eighties, I have to say this was the most memorable and fun. The point I wanted to make however (and I realize it's a bit at odds with Brent's perspective) is that to this day I'm disapointed in John F. for his 'everyone shut the heck up!' attitude during the moments after the power went out and everyone started singing together. I respect Brent's opinion that it made it difficult to hear them and I certainly understand that it would have been annoying to anyone more interested in hearing the guys rather than singing along in the magical moment that I felt was happening right then as everyone sang together. I can also understand that John F. was frustrated in-the-moment at the technical difficulties but the tone of his dialog with the audience made it so that from then on I've only chanted on the "John" half of the "John! John! John! John!" alternating audience section chants at shows ever since (but I'll always be there to support one or more Johns and all Dans).

There was a peace treaty signed on January, 10, 1732 between the Ottoman Empire and the Safavid Persia.
In the 17th century, a stalemate between the Ottoman and Safavid empires had been reached by the treaties of Sarab and Zuhab. However, during the short rule of Afghanistan based Hotaki dynasty, chaos in Iran resulted in clashes along frontiers, especially in Caucasus. Meanwhile, Peter 1 of Russia began to occupy North Caucasus and Azerbaijan. Fearing a Russian controlled Caucasus, the Ottomans decided to capture Tbilisi to balance the Russian advance. But this operation resulted in a long Ottoman Safavid war.
Between 1723 and 1730, the Ottomans were able to control South Caucasus by capturing Erivan and Ganjeh in addition to Tbilisi. In the southern fronts (i.e., West Iran), Ottomans captured Tabriz, Urmia, Kermanshah and Hamedan. But after Tahmasp 2nd of Safavid Empire began controlling Iran, Ottoman advance was checked. Both sides were tired enough to end the war. Ahmad Pasha (Ottoman side) and Mohammad Reza Gholi (Persian side) signed the treaty.
Aras River became the new border line in South Caucasus.
The treaty proved to be an armistice rather than a permanent treaty. Because, neither Ottoman sultan Mahmoud I approved the loss of Tabriz, nor Nader Shah, then the commander in chief of the Persian army, accepted Iranian losses in Caucasus. During Nader Shah's reign, Afshar Dynasty was able to regain its losses.


With the current uncertainty around the tertiary education system in South Africa, parents are understandably concerned about their children's futures. While the long-term implications of the #feesmustfall movement remain to be seen, one thing is still certain: it's a good idea to save up for your children's future education.
While saving is a relatively straightforward activity, saving for education is fraught with complications. How much will university cost when my child is ready to study? How much should I save each month? What products should I invest in to ensure the best growth but still keep my capital secure? We spoke to Sean Fahy, an investment advisor at FPM Wealth and Risk Management.
Taking the variables into account Cost. The first thing that parents need to do when they are trying to establish their savings goals is work out the current costs of education. Parent24 made this easy for us by researching the costs of various degrees at different tertiary institutions in 2016. For the purposes of our calculations, we looked at the cost of the first year of a BEng at the University of the Witwatersrand – R40 170 (other examples of degrees' costs included the first year of a BA at UCT for R46 000 or a BScIT at UKZN for R34 940). For the purposes of this exercise, we worked only with the cost of local university tuition and didn't cover residence fees or the possibility of international study.
Inflation. Then it is necessary to estimate the rate of inflation over a number of years. "Education inflation outstrips the standard rate of inflation significantly, so to be sure that we didn't fall short, we kept the annual rate at 9% - bearing in mind that the same increase will apply in the student's second and third years at university," says Sean.
Because it is vital to beat inflation, it becomes necessary to take on some investment risk.
Investment term. The final point to consider is how long the investment term will be. This obviously tallies directly with the child's age, as in most cases a student will start university after they finish school, in the year that they turn 19. In this calculation we have run two scenarios – one for a parent who starts to invest as soon as their child is born, and another for a parent who starts to invest when their child is nine years old, effectively cutting the investment term in half.
What the calculations revealed The calculations revealed that nine years from now, a three-year engineering degree could potentially cost R200 000, and that 19 years from now, the same three-year degree could cost R375 000.
With 18 years until the start of university: the parents would need to put away R502.85 each month, with your contribution escalating annually at 5.5%, and continuing to invest that for the 21 years until the child has completed their studies.
With 9 years to until the start of university: the parents would need to put away R881.21 escalating annually at 5.5% and continuing to invest for the 12 years until the child has completed their studies. Remember that although these parents have less time to save, they are aiming for a lower total cost of the degree because there will have been less time for education inflation to take effect.
Get your investment started Of course, these are two calculations with a very specific set of variables. While they should give you an idea of some of the things you should be considering when saving for your children's tertiary education, each case is different, and it's best to consult with a financial advisor to establish your own term, risk appetite and goals. Once your investment has been established, t is also advisable to review the assumptions, inflation and achieved versus assumed returns regularly so that you can make any necessary adjustments in good time.


There's nothing like the holiday season for reconnecting with friends and family and sharing in gratitude for a good year and good health, but this same time of year can also become stressful because of added familial obligations, plenty of rich and indulgent holiday meals, and the frenzy of holiday shopping or approaching deadlines.
Striking the right hydration balance can be tricky. The body, which is about 60 percent water, needs water to stay alive. Every system depends on it – from carrying nutrients to the cells and flushing toxins from organs.
If you go to bed soon after eating the kind of large meal that quickly breaks down into sugar, the headache you wake up with probably isn't monsoon-related.
But if you notice that during monsoon season – defined as between June 15 and Sept. 30 since 2008 – there's a marked connection between your headaches and/or joint pain increasing when those severe storms are about to occur, there quite possibly is a link.
Monsoon season doesn't usher in host of new patients, but we definitely note a tendency to see more of our existing patients at this time of year.

Canon or Nikon? DSLR or mirrorless? Photographers love their gear—they love to talk about it, review it, debate it. But, does it even matter?
Well, no, not really. I may get hate mail for saying this, but your camera doesn't matter. Well, okay, let me rephrase that: Your camera doesn't matter nearly as much as you do.
There. I've said it. What do I mean by it? Professional photographers can get great images from an iPhone. And the average Joe can get horrible images from a $6,000 DSLR. It's not as much about the camera as it is about who is behind it. Sure, a professional photographer will get better images with a $6,000 DSLR than they will with an iPhone, but when it comes down to it, the photographer is more important than the camera. Here's why.
The average person will snap a photo of what they see at eye level. The professional has an eye for composition, whether shooting with a point and shoot or a fancy DSLR. The professional will introduce elements to the foreground, adjust the aperture to soften the background. The professional photojournalist will capture uncensored emotion, not stop and ask for a cheesy smile.
No, it's not the outfit that makes you look fat, it's the photographer. The professional portrait photographer can make even selfies look good. Posing is an art. It's about knowing what looks good, noticing that a position makes those hips look too big and adjusting.
Patience is a virtue—particularly for photographers. The average person will just snap and go. The professionals are the ones like National Geographic Photographer Steve Winter, who spent 14 months working to get a shot of LA's mountain lion in front of the Hollywood sign. Or Fabian Oefner, who spent two months creating an image of a car disintegrating in an instant.
The best portrait photographers will get to know someone and capture their essence in a single image. They are fun enough to make their subjects comfortable, like Richard Renaldi, who created a series of images of strangers that looked as if they were best friends.
Professional photographers know how to adjust the exposure to get the most color out of a sunset or the right contrast in the snow. Even working with a camera with no manual modes, photographers know how to position the subject with the available light—they don't just point and shoot, even with a point-and-shoot.
Sure, professionals will notice a difference when they swap out cameras, but the most important aspect to a good photo is the photographer, not the camera.

Q: Location header with IDN characters broken when hosted in IIS For some POST calls in our API we point the response Location header to the created resource.
The Location header can contain a URL with IDN characters (e.g. http://résponse.com)
When hosting the API in IIS, IIS changes the Location header to http://résponse.com/
There is definitely something wrong in the encoding there.
When we make our API self-hosted, the Location header isn't touched.
Is there some setting I'm missing in IIS that causes this behavior?
The content type charset is set to utf-8, but this is already the default in IIS I guess.
Version of IIS is 8.5+
We use Web API, but using NancyFx causes the same behavior.

A: I just puny encoded the special characters for now,
but I still don't understand why IIS changes the header and a self-hosted solution doesn't

A: You could try adding the header to the HTTP Response Headers list for that site. If none is specified, it will be delivered in whatever the user agent requests, which is likely why you're seeing the ISO-8859-1
"Properties" => "HTTP Headers" => "File Types..." => "New Type...". Put in the extension you want to map, separately for each extension; IIS users will probably want to map .htm, .html,... Then, for Content type, add "text/html;charset=utf-8" (without the quotes; substitute your desired charset for utf-8;

A: Set the encoding and culture configuration in .Net Globalization feature in IIS (I assume you are hosting a asp.net based API?)

Sony already use DAB chips elsewhere, so why not in a mobile?
With the UK digital radio switchover being pushed back as there is yet too few digital listeners, news that DAB chips are likely to appear in the next generation of mobile devices is a big boost.
It would provide a massive upgrade over the current chips, as today's mobile devices usually ship with FM receivers, although the Samsung Galaxy S4 is a notable exception.
Sir Hossein Yassaie, CEO of Imagination Technologies who produce Pure digital radios, reckons that mobile devices are the next juncture for DAB chips.
At a recent Go Digital event in London he explained that: "The next big stage is the penetration of digital radio technology into mobile devices, and our technology is ready to facilitate that."
Unfortunately, he believes that there are a few barriers that need to be overcome, stating a need for "global standards support, low power and low cost" as well as "certainty about the future of the digital audio broadcast market, which the Government must supply."
The low cost factor could already have been reached, though, with a partnership between Imagination Technologies and Frontier Silicon leading to the production of a sub-£20 digital radio.
The partnership has also produced the new Chorus 4 chip, set to build on the work it has already done; digital chips are already found in home audio, radio recorders, clock radios and even in car stereos.
DAB radio would provide a decent alternative to current streaming methods, able to provide a decent mobile audio experience without having to sacrifice masses of data.
This leaves us with one question: is it a lack of quality and choice holding people back, or is the lack of radio on the Galaxy S4 a symbol that users are generally moving away from mobile radio?
Current users of the digital chips include handset manufacturer Sony, so it might not be too long before we see a DAB-toting Sony Xperia Z2.

The Altoona Blair County Development (ABCD) Corporation Board of Directors approved the appointment of long-time ABCD Marketing Manager Matt Fox as Director of Business Expansion. "This move is long over-due given the many assignments and areas of impact that Matt has helped lead over the past several years," said ABCD President Stephen McKnight. "While his expertise in marketing and communications is proven, his areas of responsibility extend well beyond that. This appointment and title change better reflects Matt's key role within the organization and his efforts in the community at large," McKnight added.
Fox was hired in 2007 as ABCD's Marketing Manager. Since then he has helped to construct major marketing, branding, and communications campaigns that increased national awareness of the economic development organization and the region. In recent years Fox has managed the Business Retention and Expansion program at ABCD and has supported more than 100 projects resulting more than $90 million in economic impact. Matt has extensive knowledge of the county's sites and buildings as well as the available incentives and workforce availability and training partners in the region.
Prior to joining ABCD, Matt was a partner in a marketing firm located in Northern Virginia for over 13 years working directly with private industry, government contracts and non-profit organizations. In 2018 he earned a professional CEcD certification from the International Economic Development Council. Matt lives in Duncansville with his wife and family and enjoys hiking the trails of the Blair County region and being outdoors with his family.

Wood boats, aluminum boats and Port Townsend
By	Bruce Buls on	 August 26, 2014
Here in the upper left-hand corner of the country we've got this charming little waterfront city called Port Townsend. Early in its history, the city fathers envisioned grand things for the community located at the corner of Juan de Fuca Strait and Puget Sound. If they had been right, the Jefferson County, Wash., city might have been the home of the suddenly resurgent Mariners, not Seattle.
But Port Townsend has lots of lower-case mariners, especially those who favor wooden boats. The local Wooden Boat Foundation organizes an annual Wooden Boat Festival, one of the largest events of its kind in the country and which will be happening the weekend after Labor Day. And the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding, located in nearby Port Hadlock, also holds classes at the Northwest Maritime Center in Port Townsend.
33′ aluminum fire/rescue boat
But although wooden boat enthusiasts are in abundance, the town's two marinas have plenty of plastic boats and even some metal ones, too. One of the newest of the latter is a 33'x10′ aluminum fire/rescue boat built by a former Port Townsend boatbuilder, Lee Shore Boats. The company relocated to nearby Port Angeles a few years ago, but the connections are still strong. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office also operates a Lee Shore patrol boat.
The newest aluminum fire/rescue boat belongs to East Jefferson (County) Fire Rescue and is used primarily for rescue work. In fact, the first call was in response to a pleasure craft that lost power and was drifting out into the strait's shipping lanes with two women and two children on board.
Named the Guardian, the new boat also features a Kodiak inboard engine that powers a waterjet and a fire pump capable of 1,250 gpm at 125 psi or 3,000 gpm at 50 psi. The waterjet is primarily for in-water rescues with the twin Yamaha 250s shut down. A starboard side dive door hinged just above the waterline folds down into the water for easier retrieval of in-water casualties.
My thanks to Brian Tracer and Bill Beezley of East Jefferson Fire Rescue for taking me out for a ride along the Port Townsend waterfront last Thursday. The new boat looks well built and should serve both residents and visitors for many years. And thanks to the Department of Homeland Security for providing the $455,000 grant that paid for it.
The new fire/rescue boat will also be featured in WorkBoat magazine's October issue as part of our fireboat vessel report.

Why Greed Begets More Greed Bad behavior gets "paid forward� more than kindness. It need not be that way. Every few weeks a heart-warming tale of regular folks deciding to "pay it forward� makes the news. One driver decides to, say, pay the toll for the next person in line, that person pays for the following driver, and so on. A recent example started on Christmas Eve, when more than 1,000 patrons at a Starbucks in Connecticut agreed, one by one, to pay for the customers behind them. People have engaged in pay-it-forward chains at laundromats, fast food joints and car washes. There's good reason to think that these random acts of kindness might be common; after all, generosity has been shown to make us not only happier but healthier, too. Yet any one of us who has experienced the kindness of a stranger also knows that people can just SWU_Summer_Courses_and_Guidelines_Sevenstar easily behave as jerks. Perhaps a driver cut you off as you were maneuvering into the toll lane, or someone stepped in front of you to order a caramel macchiato. Unfortunately, research by my collaborators and me suggests that we are more likely to pay greed forward than generosity. Imagine being in the following situation. I tell you that I gave someone $6 and instructed that person to decide how much or little of it to give to you, keeping the rest for himself or herself. I hand you an envelope that contains the amount they gave you. You eagerly open the envelope, shaking it to reveal your bounty, only to find that this other person has left you nothing. Not a cent. Take a moment to think how you'd feel—and what words come to mind to describe the guy who stiffed you. Now imagine that I then gave you $6 and asked you to give as Sequences 7-2 Geometric as you wanted to a new person and keep the rest. How much would you put in the envelope? With that answer in mind, consider another scenario. What if you had opened the envelope and the previous person had instead been amazingly generous, giving you all $6? Or what if the person had decided on an even split, giving you $3 and saving $3 for themselves—how would that outcome affect your behavior? My colleagues Kurt Gray of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Adrian F. Ward of the University of Colorado Boulder and I placed hundreds of people in one of the three scenarios just described—they received either greed, generosity or fairness. The results we gathered were not all heartening. But first I'll share the good news. As we reported in a paper that is forthcoming in 2014, we found that people who were treated fairly were very likely to pay forward fairness. If someone splits $6 evenly with me, I'll split $6 evenly with the next person. People who had received the full $6, however, did WWI AMERICA DEMOBILIZATION: POST reciprocate with equal generosity: on average, they were willing to pay forward only $3. So regardless of whether More It Doesn`t Matter Any have been treated - Awards Laser Learning TYPE UNIT or generously, we tend to respond by behaving merely equitably. Now the bad news. The people who had received greed were very likely to pay Booster ZBC745SL PRO 10K for Signal SL Phone Cell zBoost® greed forward, giving the next person just a little over $1, on average. It seems bad behavior leaves more of an impression on us than good. Why Pay Anything Forward? To social scientists, what's most interesting about the phenomenon of paying it forward is that there does not appear to be any good reason to pay anything forward. After all, you have had no prior interactions with the recipient and do not anticipate ever meeting the person. It certainly makes sense to pay people Date by: Prepared: by: Reviewed Prepared if someone gave me $0 and then I got the chance to split $6 with that same person, giving him $0 in return might teach him a lesson to be kinder to me in the future. But visiting the sins of one person on an unsuspecting new individual—as participants did in our research—seems less sensible and less fair. We had a hunch that people are more likely to pay greed forward because negative emotions tend to exert more influence over us than positive ones. To investigate whether this was the case, we asked a new group of participants to take part in a very similar situation, except instead of splitting money they split a set of tasks that were either enjoyable (making fun word associations) or annoying (circling vowels in dense passages of Italian). An unknown person allotted them either all good tasks, an even split of good and bad ones, or only the onerous deeds. Immediately after receiving their assigned tasks, we gave our participants a survey that assessed their emotional state. K. REVIEWS over Fields Vinodh Function Distributed Computation and they were given the opportunity to assign another set of tasks to the next person, along the same lines. Our results revealed that people pay greed Overview 2015 3CO Course BMI as a means of dealing with the negative emotions that being in Biosensor Application Silicon of Nanowire badly engender. If I can't pay you back for being a jerk, my only option for feeling better is to be a jerk to someone else. This isn't to say that people don't pay forward good deeds. As the Starbucks example illustrates, people are capable of generating remarkable chains of kindness, under certain conditions. One such condition is a feeling of "groupiness.� Sociologist Robb Willer of Stanford University and his colleagues Francis J. Flynn and Sonya Zak conducted research on Freecycle, a Web site where people post items—from cheap goods such as office supplies to big-ticket objects, including cars—they wish to either give away or obtain. The key feature of Freecycle is that all items must be given with no compensation and no reciprocity. You can't make money, and you can't give in order to receive. The researchers surveyed 805 Freecycle participants on their use of the service. The respondents also answered several questions that assessed how intensely they identified with the Freecycle community. Their results showed that the people who felt a stronger sense of solidarity with the community were more likely to make contributions to the Freecycle network. When users viewed themselves as members of a group of people who help one another, this sense of identity influenced their behavior. In everyday life, though, many of our interactions are with people with whom we share no group affiliation. In these cases, unfortunately, we should expect to see more greed paid forward than generosity. As a result, we should think carefully about how we choose to react when others treat us badly, lest we become the next link in a perpetual Image copyright Reference:0012 (c) Catalogue crown Reference:CAB/23/68 of negativity. Luckily, our research offers a way out. We found that having people focus on something positive, such as funny cartoons, can alleviate a greed-induced layer Using a of defense NAT as mood and encourage them to end greed chains. So the next time someone cuts you off in traffic, try blasting a favorite song and singing along. It just might encourage you to be the generous soul who stops the spread of greed.

Phillies' Pete Mackanin would like another veteran bat

OXON HILL, Md. - Phillies manager Pete Mackanin's desire for an improved offense was made clear to general manager Matt Klentak at the end of the season.
Klentak not only upgraded the offense by trading for veteran Howie Kendrick but also did it at a position (left field) that was an offensive void in 2016. Mackanin isn't content with the addition of just one veteran bat. If the Phillies find a way to bring in another player who can make a positive impact for what has been a run-starved offense, well, Mackanin certainly won't complain.
"Obviously, I would like to have a solid hitter for the team, for the fans, for everybody," Mackanin said Tuesday at the Winter Meetings. "We would like to win more games. I think it would be very important obviously to improve our offense.
"I think we owe it to the pitchers to create more offense so that they are in more games."
Klentak and the Phillies are cognizant of making sure that any players they acquire do not affect young players' futures with the team. It certainly would help if young players such as third baseman Maikel Franco step up in 2017. Mackanin believes Franco is better than he performed.
"As far as being an important year for Maikel, it's an important year because he's got a chance to shows he's an elite player," Mackanin explained. "What he did last year is good enough to play a long time in the big leagues, especially with the fact that we didn't have a lot of men on base or as many as we would like to have. ... But he's got a chance to be an elite hitter, and I think for that reason it's important for him if he wants to prove that he's capable of being that kind of hitter."
Outfield still taking shape
Nine different players started a game in left field this year while four logged at least two starts in center field, but the Phillies are confident they have solved those positions for 2017.
Kendrick is expected to be the everyday guy in left field. And though Mackanin speculated at the end of the season that Odubel Herrera could be moved off center field to a corner spot, he said Tuesday that he expects Herrera to man center field given his performance and range.
Right field, though, is the spot that presents many more questions. It appears Roman Quinn, if he can stay healthy, and Aaron Altherr, who's 2016 season was derailed by wrist surgery, are the front-runners for the starting job. Mackanin is unsure if Quinn is big-league ready but praised his speed. Mackanin believes Quinn could be a prime candidate to take over right field if he plays well in spring, making adjustments to shorten his swing and learn from his September call-up.
"Right field would be a nice spot for us to settle into, whether we make a deal and get an everyday player there or if Quinn has a good showing in Triple-A and he proves he's a guy for right field or Altherr or somebody else," Mackanin said. "That's a position we would like to see settled."
Extra innings
As of now, Tommy Joseph is the Phillies' everyday starter at first base, Klentak said. ... Mackanin said he expects right-hander Vince Velasquez to take a step forward this year and not "baby him." ... Mackanin is happy right-hander Jeremy Hellickson is returning to lead the rotation. "We know what we've got with him. And he's a consistent, starting pitcher."

Some have said we have too many teams in the playoffs and a lack of competitiveness in certain games/classes. The development of "superteams," which is likely here to stay, has amplified this situation and I see things only getting worse. We have done somersaults trying to figure out which teams should make the playoffs, yet the reality is that many "bubble" teams get blown out in the first or second rounds. And, in some cases, teams are traveling substantial distances to do so.
If the present desire is to "reward" teams at the end of a good season with some additional play, why not promote the concept of bowl games(rather than having as many playoff games)? Rather than ending the season on a sour note getting blown out(49 teams lost a first or second round playoff game by 30 or more points, so about 1 in every 3 early round playoff games is decided by 30 or more points), a team could play in a competitive bowl game where they have a legitimate shot at winning. Some fans, ie hs kids, may not be able to travel 100+ miles for a playoff game, but a bowl game with a "local" team could be much more accessible. And the local flavor of the bowl game could generate a lot of excitement(more so than playing a team fans have never heard of). Some great rivalries have been lost over the years due to movement in the classes. Bowl games could be an opportunity to rekindle these rivalries. It could also provide an opportunity for local businesses to help sponsor the events, ie the Bubba's Body Shop Bowl .
Thought I would float this idea to see what people think. Something just seems ironic to me that we are "rewarding" teams with a chance to go on a long road trip and lose by 50 points. Doesn't seem like much of a reward to me.
I always like more football, but I don't know how many kids would get hyped up for a Bowl Game. The whole idea of football season is to play well enough to make the playoffs and have a shot at the State title. I think once kids realize they're out of contention for that, some (ie seniors who have no real reason to play anymore) won't take the situation seriously. I do like the idea for teams that don't have a chance at the playoffs (maybe even allow teams that are 5-5 or 4-6 to participate) and getting local sponsors. Could be fun if done the right way.
Unless you really cut back on the number of playoff teams, you're going to continue to have a fair share of first-round (and even second-round) blowouts. Especially now with the state's current transfer policy -- the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. A reflection of our society. A handful of teams will continue to dominate each class and these teams will continue to be on the winning side of these first-round playoff game blowouts.
That said, blowouts are not the worst thing in the world. I'm guessing most players and coaches (and even fans) would tell you that they'd rather make the playoffs and get blown out in the first round than not make the playoffs at all. And for the top-seeded teams, a blowout first-round game keeps them in rhythm and, assuming no major injuries, is probably better than a bye. And for those kids who aren't starters, first-round blowouts give them a chance to get some meaningful playing time in a playoff game.
Nevertheless, I like the idea of a bowl game or two for the teams whose bubbles get burst by the RPI and who fall just outside the top 8 in their region . . . at least until the stud players from these teams start deciding to sit out the bowl game for fear of injury and messing up their chances to get drafted, er, snag a last minute scholarship. One other thing to keep in mind: unlike college, a good number of football players, especially at smaller schools, roll right into high school basketball season as soon as the whistle blows in their last football game. A bowl game played one or two weeks after their last regular season game would further delay that transition.
When I was in high school only district champs made the playoffs. We had bowl games back then and usually they were good match-ups against teams with 8-2 or 9-1 records.
Rather than ending the season on a sour note getting blown out(49 teams lost a first or second round playoff game by 30 or more points, so about 1 in every 3 early round playoff games is decided by 30 or more points), a team could play in a competitive bowl game where they have a legitimate shot at winning.
How much of the increase in victory size though is a result of the changing nature of football as a sport that scores lots of points (offensive tempo) rather than a 21-14 defensive struggle?
Is victory size really a good indication of a lack of quality games... Also as coaches begin to play to win rather than play to not lose by a lot, they are gambling more and as a result sometimes you lose on your gamble and the spread gets bigger.
Very valid points. Am thinking of things from a fan or potential parent of future football player perspective. How would people react if we had many games at the NFL level being decided by 30 or more points? I think the NFL would get very nervous. So, are folks at the hs level more tolerant? Or are we potentially losing interest of the aforementioned folks because of real and/or perceived lack of parity? When a parent sees a team get beaten 50-0 by a team that is light years ahead of their son's school, does it raise questions about safety, especially if the parent is not completely familiar with high school football?
If victory size is not a good indication, what objective way is there to measure "quality?" I once joked about fans voting on "quality" points to be awarded at each game.
Bottom line, is our current "system" hurting our image in some way? (in the minds/eyes of non-coaches and non-players...outsiders). Sure, experts like us can watch a game and see "quality." But I see a lot of fans leaving at halftime based on the scoreboard and not the nuances of the game. Right or wrong, my perception is that folks today have much shorter attention spans, on average, than folks of the past, and are much quicker to brand something as "boring" than in the past.
Back in the day you had to win at least 6 games to make a bowl and it could only be played on Thanksgiving Day/weekend.
Before the playoffs that started in the 60's, bowl games were huge because they were THE postseason. Teams from all around the country would send their champion to come play our mythical champ. Before the playoffs, bowl games is all you had so you know it was a big deal.
Flash forward to now. I know bowls don't mean much anymore but think about this. If you haven't been to the playoffs in years, or even never, it's a great growing tool. It also gives the seniors that 99 percent of them will never play another down of football In their entire life one extra game. That could be very special then ending your senior year eliminated from the playoffs.
It also gives the younger guys valuable practice time and more game reps to help for next year.
i understand it spills over into basketball season and a lot of teams have some B-ball players, but not all of them.
That was my thought. The sendoff for many seniors now is a playoff game that could be many miles from home and I wonder how many of their fans come to see them under such circumstances. As good as we have become as a society at hyping things, seems to me that if we put our minds and hearts to it, bowl games could become a big deal again, just like they were.

ME: Auburn Man's Acquittal in Shooting Death is Rare Example of a Successful Claim of Self-defense
Submitted by: David Williamson
Website: http://libertyparkpress.com
Wednesday's acquittal of Gage Dalphonse in a 2019 shooting death at the Auburn Walmart was just the second time in more than two years that a jury has found a defendant not guilty of both murder and manslaughter. It's rare for Maine juries to hand up "not guilty" verdicts in murder trials. What's even rarer is what happened Wednesday: A jury concluded a defendant who claimed he was acting in self-defense was guilty of neither murder nor manslaughter. More often than not in that circumstance, a jury that finds a defendant not guilty of murder finds him guilty of a lesser manslaughter charge.
How Many Guns Can You Legally Own In Texas?
There are 2 comments on this story
Texas is one of the most populated states in the US, and more than 1 million of its people are active holders of hand and long guns. The state�s gun regulations usually focus on controlling gun-carrying rather than prohibiting gun ownership. The Texas constitution grants every Texan the freedom to �keep and carry weapons mostly in the legal defense of himself or the State.� But, it also provides the government the authority to �regulate the wearing of arms� to avoid harm. This means that people can legally keep and carry a firearm in their houses or public, but with strict restrictions and only if the government has lawfully approved the owner.

East Germany Calling: Zella Mehlis P1001-0
A little-known unlicensed Walther PP with a bona fide Cold War pedigree, the Zella Mehlis P1001-0 hailed from East Germany and are tougher to find over here than the Berlin Wall. Carl Walther's famed firearms works were founded in the Thuringian town of Zella-Mehlis in 1886. However, by 1945, with the Soviets knocking on the door at the end of World War II, Walther pulled stumps and left what would later become East Germany (officially the Deutsche Demokratische Republik, or DDR) for the more easy-going West Germany on the other side of the Cold War.

Find out who Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger thinks will win the Premier League
The two-time Super Bowl-winning QB visits London to talk big hits, playing at Wembley Stadium and... Accrington Stanley?
Joe Mewis
NFL star Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers was in London last week ahead of his September game at Wembley Stadium to talk all things football - both the domestic and stateside versions.
Whilst the man nicknamed Big Ben posed by the real Big Ben, here at MirrorSport we thought we'd help him find an English football team to support - and you can find out who in our video above, along with his prediction for the new Premier League season.
Roethlisberger's Steelers team take on the Minnesota Vikings on September 29 and the San Francisco 49ers play the Jacksonville Jaguars on October 27, as rumours grow that the NFL is exploring the possibility of a full-time London team in the near future and the two-time Super Bowl winner is excited about playing at the iconic Wembley Stadium.
"I've only seen it from football and soccer games on TV, seen how crazy it is, the energy and fans. It reminds me of a football game back home," said the 6ft 5in quarterback.
"You look at the stands and it just seems there's so many jerseys for all different teams, not just the two that are playing, so it just seems like there's a high energy level in the stadium.
"My old team-mate Bryon Leftwich talked about how great the people were, how great it was being around town and how he enjoyed the game.
Clocking on: Ben Roethlisberger says there is an element of finesse to what NFL stars do (Image: Dave Shopland)
"He said it was one loudest games he's ever played with fans constantly cheering, sounding their horns, banging everything – all the noise they can make. He enjoyed the experience, it's just the travel that was the hardest part."
The two-time Pro Bowler also spoke about why he thinks the game is growing popularity on these shores.
"I think people get intrigued by how physical it is – it's full contact, it's the most physical sport there is but there's still an element of finesse to it. There's a lot of guys that say some of the things our wide receivers and running backs do is beautiful and athletic. I think the game of football brings so much to the table that it intrigues people – it sucks you in."
The 31-year-old underwent knee surgery earlier this summer but says he's fully recovered. "It's feeling great," he said. "Best it's been in about three years so that's encouraging."
Big Ben is known for fearless mentality on the field and spoke about some of the toughest opponents he's faced.
"There's been a lot of big hits! I think the Ravens' Terrell Suggs [is the toughest]. He's a real good defender, tough, hard to get away from and I've been hit by him many times."
Player safety is one of the key issues in the NFL at the moment, with an increasing number of lawsuits being brought against the league from ex-players suffering depression, dementia and other neurological conditions in recent years.
The issue was brought to the fore following the suicide of former San Diego Charger great Junior Seau last May.
Power house: Every hit is the equivalent of a car wreck according to Roethlisberger (Image: Dave Shopland)
"It's tough," said Roethlisberger. "A lot of the lawsuits now have come from players who played previously and are dealing with injuries and everyone has an opinion on whether the league is dealing with them or not.
"Some feel the league takes care of them, some don't so I guess those are the ones you'll see more from. "
The NFL has acted during this off-season to decrease the risk of head injury by introducing a new helmet rule preventing ball carriers from leading with the crown of their helmets outside the tackle box, which was met with opposition by certain figures within the fame.
"Every year we get new rules in the game for player safety, because it is a violent sport. If you watch on TV you don't fully appreciate what goes on unless you watch it live and even then you don't appreciate it unless you're on the sideline.
"Every hit in this game is equal to a car wreck, that's how violent it is and some are more violent than others, so every year at training camp the referees come in and teach us the new rules and that's where we find out what's going on.
"Some are obviously more obvious than others, like when they've made a big deal about running backs lowering their head this year so they can't run defenders over and it all goes back to player safety."
Looking ahead to the new season, Big Ben has set himself and the Steelers a lofty goal.
"A Super Bowl. That's the only goal, if we don't get into the playoffs and the Super Bowl that's a failure of a season for us. It motivates us though to put the work in and get there."
And he'll be hoping that his Pittsburgh Steelers team emulate the 2007-08 New York Giants team who followed up their Wembley appearance with Super Bowl ring come the end of the season.

Many of today's large societal challenges, such as climate change mitigation, resource security, urbanisation, and migration require a fundamental transformation of the way we use natural resources. However, our understanding of the stocks and fl ows of materials and energy (the physical economy) is highly fragmented and involves signifi cant knowledge gaps. The current practice of monitoring selective fl ows at reference points that are not clearly defi ned is ineffi cient and expensive and hinders robust quantitative systems analysis needed for eff ective policymaking. The MinFuture project has developed of a framework aimed at providing guidance on how to perform a more systematic monitoring of the physical economy, as well as steps helping to implement such a system.
Develop a data infrastructure for material and energy stocks and fl ows that integrates stocks and fl ows data from governmental statistics and individual projects into a systems context.
Establish legal and institutional conditions, at relevant governance levels, to support the development and maintenance of this data infrastructure.
Address main knowledge gaps on the accounting of (i) geological stocks, (ii) anthropogenic (inuse) stocks, and (iii) supply chains.

FQ columnist Paul Julian Smith examines the state of contemporary filmmaking in the Catalan region of Spain. Despite stories that have larger Spanish and international appeal, Smith refreshingly concludes that an antilocal aesthetic does not preclude a Catalonian influence and that Catalans will continue to make decisive contributions to both a commercial Spanish cinema that is aesthetically indebted to television and a less mainstream auteur filmmaking whose cinephile references cite both local tradition and Hollywood history.

One session of Cold Lipolysis treatment lasts 45 minutes to an hour without any pain or disturbance. Generally, the best results of treatment are observed between a 2-4 month period, during which the fats are removed gradually through the lymphatic system, reducing tissue volume.
Fat cells that receive sufficient cooling are destroyed, so in that sense, localized fat reduction is permanent.
However, like liposuction and other methods of fat removal, fat may accumulate in remaining adipocytes in the local area or in other areas of the body. Therefore, it is imperative that clients should continue to eat a healthy diet and exercise for best results and follow the aftercare advised.
Always consult with your professional Health Care provider before beginning any health regimen.
