Guy most likely to sign the biggest deal: Bryce Harper. We know it's going to be Harper or Manny Machado, though the $500 million contract that once appeared possible for Harper will happen only in Scott Boras' most vivid daydreams. What's interesting is how closely their two careers have mapped so far, at least via FanGraphs WAR -- Machado: 926 games, 175 home runs, 30.2 WAR; Harper: 927 games, 184 home runs, 30.7 WAR.
Machado has been the more consistent performer the past four seasons, averaging 36 home runs and 159 games, and he plays a premium defensive position, but the bet here is Harper gets the bigger deal. Boras is the expert at waiting out the market and getting his clients the big money, as he did last offseason, when Eric Hosmer and J.D. Martinez both waited until February to sign. Expect Machado to sign first and Boras to top that deal with even more guaranteed money.
Guy most likely to be the biggest steal: Josh Donaldson. The calf injury that wrecked his 2018 season -- he hit .246 with eight home runs in 52 games -- and his age (he turns 33 in December) will eat into his offers, but he's one season removed from hitting .270/.385/.559. True, he missed time in 2017 as well, but estimates of a three-year contract deal at around $55 million point to a player who could produce 4 to 5 WAR per season at the market rate for a 2-WAR player.
Guy most likely to be the biggest bust: A.J. Pollock. Because he's a plus defender in center field and, given Adam Jones' defensive decline, the only legit starting center fielder on the market, there is going to be a lot of interest in Pollock. He'll also be 31, an age when center fielders often lose a step, his durability is a concern, as he has reached 500 plate appearances just once in his career (back in 2015), and he has hit much better at home in his career. The past two seasons, he has hit .242/.310/.435 on the road compared to .280/.336/.517 in Arizona. I can see a team giving him the Lorenzo Cain deal (five years, $80 million) but ending up with an injury-prone player who struggles to hit in a new park.
Guy who most helped himself in October: Nathan Eovaldi. This is the pitcher every team will want -- he isn't so good that he'll price out the small-market teams, plus he's had two Tommy John surgeries -- but the cutter he broke out in 2018 to help complement his 100 mph fastball suggests that there is some untapped potential here. The ability and willingness to start or relieve like he did in the postseason only enhances his value.
You have to think the Red Sox have the inside edge to re-sign him, however, especially after his teammates gave him a standing ovation in the clubhouse after his magnificent -- but ultimately losing -- effort in the 18-inning game in the World Series.
The other guy who earned a lot of money in October: Joe Kelly. After his par-for-the-course, up-and-down regular season (4.39 ERA), Kelly dominated in the postseason with his 100 mph heater, as he finished with 13 strikeouts in 11.1 innings and just one earned run allowed. He appeared in all five World Series games and didn't allow a run. In fact, Kelly now owns a 2.49 ERA in 47 playoff innings. He hasn't been able to maintain that focus in the regular season, as he'll battle the strike zone at times, but he does have a 3.64 ERA the past two seasons after moving to the bullpen.
The guy who hurt himself the most in October: Yasmani Grandal. For the second straight postseason, Grandal found himself benched in the World Series -- this time because of a sudden inability to catch the baseball in the earlier rounds. His career postseason average of .107 in 75 at-bats doesn't exactly scream "clutch," either.
The Dodgers offered Grandal the $17.9 million qualifying offer, and it will be interesting to see if he takes it or instead tests free agency for a multiyear offer. He's still one of the best-hitting catchers in a game currently lacking many of them (.241/.349/.466, 24 home runs), but those October yips behind the plate will make teams hesitate.
Guy most likely to put a team over the top: Patrick Corbin. Yeah, yeah, I know relievers are the popular kids these days, but ask the Red Sox if they win the World Series without David Price. Ask the Astros if they win last year without Justin Verlander. Good starting pitching is still valuable!
Corbin had a breakout season in 2018, with a 3.15 ERA and 246 strikeouts in 200 innings, and there's a clear reason to buy into it not being a fluke: his slider. He threw it more than ever -- actually, he throws two sliders, a hard one and a softer one -- and he threw sliders to the edges of the strike zone, inducing chase swings as the ball dipped below the knees. There might be concern about the long-term health of a guy who throws sliders 40 percent of the time, but Corbin has the ability to be the difference-maker for the Yankees, Nationals or Dodgers.
Best player likely to be involved in a blockbuster trade: Corey Kluber. The Indians have starting pitching depth to deal from, and with Kluber signed through 2021 (including two team options), he'd bring in a nice haul of young players and prospects as the Indians look to add depth elsewhere and trim payroll a bit. Nolan Arenado is in the final year before hitting free agency, but it seems the Rockies will keep him and make a run at a third straight postseason appearance.
Player most likely to be involved in the most trade rumors: J.T. Realmuto. He wants out of Miami, and with two years left until free agency, the Marlins should acquiesce and find him a new home. After all, there are about 25 teams that would be interested in adding a star catcher. Maybe the most intriguing possibility: the Astros. They declined their team option on Brian McCann, and Martin Maldonado is a free agent. Would Houston deal away prized prospect Kyle Tucker?
Guy most likely to be the player nobody noticed in December, but everyone will wish they had come summer: Jesse Chavez. The 11-year veteran has a 4.45 career ERA, but after going from the Rangers to the Cubs in July, Chavez pitched better than ever: 39 IP, 26 H, 3 HR, 5 BB, 42 SO, 1.15 ERA. Maybe it was just the best 39 innings of his life; maybe it's a new level of ability. The Rangers used him as a multi-inning reliever -- he pitched 56 innings in 30 games with them -- but Joe Maddon used him for shorter stints (39 innings in 32 games). His walk rate was easily the best of his career in 2018, and while he's always had a big repertoire of pitches, he threw fewer changeups and curveballs -- less soft stuff, in other words.
Guy who looks like the perfect fit for the Yankees: Jed Lowrie. We know the Yankees will be going after starting pitching, but they also have a hole in the infield, at least until Didi Gregorius makes his return from Tommy John surgery sometime in late summer. In the meantime, the Yankees can slide Gleyber Torres to shortstop and sign Lowrie to play second. If Miguel Andujar struggles again defensively at third base, the Yankees can slide Lowrie to third base when Gregorius returns and use Andujar at DH (with Giancarlo Stanton moving to the outfield) or use Andujar as trade bait for pitching help. Lowrie turns 35 in April, but he's coming off his best season. He's the type of low-key veteran who won't be fazed playing in New York, and he won't break the payroll.
Guy most likely to be called most underrated: Marwin Gonzalez. He's hit .274/.349/.467 the past two seasons. That's not far off Machado's .278/.339/.505 line. And he'll cost about $250 million less, and he comes with positional versatility!
--The Matt Kemp trade. The Padres are still feeling the pain from this one, as they'll pay Hector Olivera $16 million the next two seasons.
--Signing James Shields. At least Preller redeemed himself by trading Shields for Fernando Tatis Jr.
--Signing Wil Myers to an $83 million extension after 2016. It hasn't been a disaster, but he now looks like a guy without a position.
--Signing Eric Hosmer. Only $119 million left on that contract.
Anyway, rumors have the Padres going after a starting pitcher. That could mean Corbin or Keuchel or Japanese pitcher Yusei Kikuchi -- or maybe Preller trades some of the minor league talent for Kluber (bringing Kluber back to the team that drafted him). Whatever the deal, I already feel bad for the player who comes to San Diego.
This will be a good thread to discuss signings by all 29 teams actions this offseason.
Note 29 since the Twins have no desire to participate in such shenanigans.
Wait ... I forgot ... our owners have some convinced that they are willing to spend money to win.
I always love that one.
Are signs pointing to the White Sox for Harper?
Nov. 8: Bryce Harper's name and No. 34 ... in black-and-white colors ... and bright lights ... inside Chicago's United Center. Intrigued yet?
Another guy heading there to die.
He can work on is stats all year there.
Well this is the offseason to prove that.
They should have lots of room to spend on free agents.
Here is the Theme Song Video for this thread as the actual, in demand Free Agents sign elsewhere.
I never liked how this was a Tim Rushlow lead vocals song. Always seemed to me that Brady Seals was a better fit on that one.
Kris Bryant won the Rookie of the Year award in 2015, an MVP award the next season, and he will forever be remembered in Chicago for making the last play to clinch Game 7 of the Cubs' 2016 championship, grinning as he released the throw to first. At that time, it was easy to envision him spending his career with the franchise that had drafted him second overall in 2013.
But it's possible that the Cubs will trade him, perhaps as soon as this winter. As part of their early off-season discussions, sources say the Cubs have indicated to other teams they are willing to discuss trade proposals for almost all of the players on their roster, including Bryant, who struggled in 2018, batting .272 with 13 homers in 102 games. Bryant went on the disabled list twice with left shoulder trouble.
Past efforts to reach a long-term agreement with Bryant have not advanced -- the Cubs made a significant offer last winter, without a deal being concluded -- and the third baseman, who turns 27 in January, is about to get much more expensive as he moves toward free agency eligibility after the 2021 season.
Buxton and Sano for him now, give him the big deal he's looking for.
Wish we were a real team.
These types of deals would be fun.
Instead we're a Wooden Team, wishing we were a Real Team.
Will Twins prioritize power hitting in free agency?
The numbers line up remarkably uniformly. The five highest-scoring teams in the American League in 2018 are also the five teams that made the playoffs.
The Twins had the sixth most.
The six teams that had the highest batting average with runners in scoring position? Five playoff teams, plus the Twins. Slugging percentage? Same six teams.
But there's one column in which the Twins sharply diverge from the October Five: Home runs. Each playoff team launched at least 200 homers, led by New York's record-setting 276. The Twins had 101 fewer than that, finishing 12th in the league with 166.
Which means their offense had to work much harder to keep up with one-swing offenses that rule the game today. The average AL team scored 41.0 percent of its runs on homers in 2018, led by the Yankees' Stanton-and-Judge fueled attack that racked up 50.8 percent of its runs by trotting around the bases. In the postseason, where crushing an occasional mistake is often the only way to counter elite-level pitching, that proportion rose to 41.9 percent.
Minnesota's offense, on the other hand, scored just 35.4 percent of its runs the easy way, a percentage better than only the Rays and Tigers. In a sport where home runs have becoming increasingly important, where batters see launch angle and exit velocity as their keys to success, the Twins' offense became less power-centric. That they finished sixth in scoring despite the power outage might be an under-appreciated accomplishment, even though the Twins scored 77 fewer runs in 2018 than 2017, nearly half a run per game.
All of which partly explains why Miguel Sano, Byron Buxton and perhaps Tyler Austin (pictured) loom so large in the Twins' hopes for 2019. Sano hit 13 home runs in his circus of a 2018 season, or 15 fewer than his All-Star year of 2017. Buxton didn't reach the seats once in his 28-game cameo, after whacking 16 a year earlier. The Twins' 40-homer decline last season can be largely explained right there.
The decline and departure of Brian Dozier hurt, too; After receiving 36 homers from the leadoff spot in 2017, the Twins ranked 13th in 2018 with only 12.
Austin hit nine homers in just 35 games after joining the Twins in August, a pace that could place him among the team's leading sluggers over a full season. And don't be surprised if the front office prioritizes power hitting as they survey the free-agent market and consider trades.
Kfan reporting Mauer officially retired.
Lavelle was on to confirm/announce.
Ryu was the only MLB player to accept the $17.9 million qualifying offer.
Minnesota Twins sign Josh Donaldson, Daniel Murphy and Nathan Eovaldi.
Hey, that's two hitters and a pitcher! The Twins are going to be one of the fascinating teams of the offseason. Their current payroll is about $70 million or $58 million less than last season. They played it cautiously in free agency last year, with smaller deals for the likes of Logan Morrison, Lance Lynn and Fernando Rodney. That seemed like a decent idea, but it didn't work out. The lesson: Go bigger. They need a third baseman. Murphy could play second or first or DH (with Miguel Sano slotting in at first or DH). Eovaldi plugs a hole in the rotation. Thank me later when they edge out the Indians for the division title.
I got a good laugh out of the thought we'd actually make some major moves.
Donaldson would be great. Murphy would be a solid pickup even if he starts next year at 34 years old. I'll pass on Evoldi. Looks like another in the line of Phildo, Lynn and Odorizzi.
Shouldn't this thread be labeled "tire kicking 2019"?
Either that or "Dumpster Diving 101"
Eovaldi throws a lot harder than the three stooges you noted.
He was rather pedestrian for much of his career but pitched lights out for Boston.
Good control, good velocity and good movement.
But I think because of his success this past season, someone will give him a huge contract and he may back slide to his mean.
Evoldi's 50 innings with Boston is quite an outlier. Never been one to pitch many innings. I think they should aim higher for a starting pitcher.
Am I thinking of someone else, or wasn't he like untouchable for Boston this post season?
I'd think he'd be hard to pry away from them. Anyone. Especially those if us who aren't willing to dip into ma and pas cookie jar. Ever.
This is why I think any team that signs Evoldi is buying high. His last 76.1 IP with Boston are far and away the best of a 7 seven year career and way outside his career norms of a 4.16 ERA and low innings totals.

Q: Appium IOS Test runs in debug mode but fails when running I am testing an iOS app on a real device with Appium in Java using IntelliJ.
I have a function which navigates back to another screen, it worked for me a couple days ago but, without changing anything it suddenly fails. When in debug mode it works. I set a wait which worked twice but now also fails. I can't figure out why it suddenly won't work anymore. Before it fails the app closes on the device and reopens (I have an after each that kills and relaunches the app but that shouldn't affect the test)
The Appium Log says no such element was found, but it was found beforehand?
I locate the element via accessibility id and use the .click() method.
This is the Appium Log:

This is the test that fails, I even tried adding another goBack call because it's the main screen:
public void navigateTo() {
        if(!isDisplayed()) {
            try{
                WaitUtils.staticWait(5000);
                goBack();
                WaitUtils.staticWait(5000);
                goBack();
            }
            catch (Exception e){
            }
        }

        assert isDisplayed();
    }

The go back method is this:
@AndroidFindBy(accessibility = "Nach oben")
@iOSXCUITFindBy(accessibility = "button_back")
private WebElement backButton;

public void goBack() {
    backButton.click();
}

Get ready for some heart stopping, high speed thrills as Criterion releases their next Insider video walkthrough for Need For Speed: Most Wanted.
On show in the latest video are the various locations about Fairhaven City you'll get to cruise through (or race through, more accurately) in addition to some seat of your pants racing and chase gameplay.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted releases on the PS3, Xbox360, PS Vita, PC, iOS and Android October 30 for US Revheads, and November 1 for their European counterparts.
As a fan of the Need for Speed series, I'm keeping an eye on this one.


It's the silent voice that tries to tell us what to do, what to think, and how to feel about ourselves and the people we love.
→ Do people think I'm weird?
→ Do I need to lose weight?
→ Have I made too many mistakes?
→ Can I really do this?
→ Am I pretty enough?
→ Am I a failure?
Tormenting thoughts begin to swell in our minds, and we can become paralyzed beneath the pressure.
Our perception of reality can actually be changed by these thoughts!
Did anyone compliment my outfit today? Am I as pretty as that movie star? Did she say she was busy because she didn't want to hang out with me?
Satan will put people, media, and situations in our lives to discourage us and feed those insecurities.
My friend, insecurities will set you up for an emotional roller coaster!
In the early years of Gary's and my marriage, my insecurities caused me to doubt Gary's love for me. I kept waiting for him to hurt me like the men in my past had, because deep down, I didn't feel lovable.
One night, I locked myself in our bathroom, crying.
It took those words to finally break down the wall of insecurity I was hiding behind.
Before that night, I never realized that I had been FILTERING Gary's words and actions through MY insecurities!
If we tolerate insecurity, it's like a weed that chokes out our hope, happiness, and trust in the people around us.
When we water insecurity, it grows!
So what do you do when insecurity comes knocking at your door?
How do you shut down the seeds of self-doubt before they blossom into paralyzing uncertainty?
So first, we're instructed to PRAY.
If we feel insecurity beginning to grab ahold of us, we need to turn to God and ask Him for His help in the situation. We need to pray for the grace to walk in confidence.
The second thing we're called to do is to change what we're LOOKING at!
If you are battling an insecurity, you need to adamantly shut down the voices and images speaking that into your life. If you feel bad about your body or looks, stop spending hours browsing through photos of Instagram models and movie stars in tabloid magazines. Start putting your focus on things that are going to encourage you instead!
Did you know that God put everything in you that you need for your destiny? With Him, you are lacking nothing, able to do impossible things!
When negative thoughts start to rise up in you, challenge them with the Word of God.
God put great thought into every detail of your being, and it grieves Him when we find fault with His creation. God's love for you is perfect, and He sees the potential He's put in you. You were created with a purpose. You were FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY made. God made you, and He doesn't make mistakes!
Are You Ready To Get Happy?

If two linear equations are given the same slope it means that they are parallel and if the product of two slopes m1*m2=-1 the two linear equations are said to be perpendicular. Video lesson If x is -1 what is the value for f(x) when f(x)=3x+5?... Observing the y intercepts, we can see that the y intercept of the the linear equation y = x + 3 is y = 3, the y intercept of the equation y = x - 2 is y = -2, and the y intercept of the quadratic function is y = -6. There is a relationship between them. In fact, the y intercept of the parabola is the product of the y intercepts of the linear equations!
3/08/2012�� Good Day, I need some help with the following problem. I do not know how to generate a linear equation connecting y and x from the expression below as the 4 seems to complicate things... Given any function f for which we know f(x 0) and f '(x 0) we can immediately evaluate this approximation. Using it involves pretending that the graph of the function f were its tangent line at x 0 , rather than whatever it is.
17/02/2013�� Best Answer: There are a few different ways to do this problem. There's polynomial division, factoring and there is the Remainder theorem among other ways. I am not sure what context this question falls but I can help you find the answer anyway. If one of those linear expressions is �... To find the y-intercept, we substitute 0 for x in the equation, because we know that every point on the y-axis has an x-coordinate of 0. Once we do that, we can solve to find the value of y . When we make x = 0, the equation becomes , which works out to y = 2.
Show, however, that the (2 by 2) zero matrix has infinitely many square roots by finding all 2 x 2 matrices A such that A 2 = 0. In the same way that a number a is called a square root of b if a 2 = b , a matrix A is said to be a square root of B if A 2 = B .
It's often useful to be able to convert from one form of plane representation to another. To convert the standard form ax + by + cz = d of a plane into parametric form: treat the equation as a system of one linear equation in the variables x, y and z and solve it using row reduction.
Given any function f for which we know f(x 0) and f '(x 0) we can immediately evaluate this approximation. Using it involves pretending that the graph of the function f were its tangent line at x 0 , rather than whatever it is.

This article relates to that special photographer again, i call "BEFORE". Looking at a recent visit to an abandoned and former manor house.
I wanted to capture some remnants that had survived the destruction and vandalism, this old fire place and hose is quite uncanny.
From looking around the stair case you can only be impressed by what size this house must have been, as i descended the steps there was a sense of plunging in to darkness and became too eery.
Walking out the house you are confronted by a small corridor which must have been some type of pre-fab/temporary buildings. Totally taken over by nature and trying to burst in any gap possible, vandalism obviously has not helped.
In one of the final rooms you enter an area used an office, the desk still fairly intact.
Of all the rooms, the evidence of foilage and wear was evident in the rooms, but how did this chair survive so well in comparison? The room appeared to be a bedroom, with wardrobe and dresser, there was evidence of beds close by too.
The house although now just a shell was at least stories high and had basement levels too (dark and dangerous considering the state of the house) so I only stayed in the safer areas. The strange thing here is the house has a link to World War 2 as it was used as a hospital, because of a massive annex to the grounds with multiple buildings (gated and fenced off).

Draw of rare whale shark hotspots revealed in new study
Whale sharks are the biggest fish in the sea and a major attraction for divers. Photo by MWSRP
By Brooks Hays, UPI
New research explains the allure of the handful of whale shark hotspots around the world.
Though the endangered whale shark, the biggest fish in the world, travels long distances, young sharks congregate at just 20 locations across the globe. Until now, scientists couldn't figure out what made these places so attractive to the giant fish.
New analysis of the species' hotspots suggests all 20 locations host warm, shallow water and a sharp sea-floor drop off leading to deep water.
The sharks are able to filter feed in both deep and shallow water, and importantly, bask in the sun at shallow depths, warming their cold-blooded bodies.
"Sharks are ectotherms, which means they depend on external sources of body heat," Bryce Stewart, researcher at the University of York, said in a news release.
Whale sharks routinely dive to great depths, where the water is cold, so they need a place to rest in warmer water. The hotspots surveyed in the latest study -- published Friday in the journal PeerJ -- have ideal places to recharge and warm-up after a frigid dive.
"Steep slopes in the sea bed also cause an upwelling of sea currents that stimulate plankton and small crustaceans such as krill that the whale sharks feed on," Stewart said.
Hanging out in warm shallows has its risks. While basking, whale sharks are more likely to expose themselves to human activity. They're more vulnerable to boat strikes and fishing nets.
By better understanding where whale sharks like to hang out and why, scientists can improve regulations and conservation initiatives designed to protect the species.
"The more we know about the biology of whale sharks the more we can protect them and this research may help us to predict where whale sharks might move to as our climate changes," Stewart said.
Researchers say there are still more whale shark mysteries to solve. While the latest study looked at the aggregation of young whale sharks, less is known about where older sharks hang out.

When considering a video surveillance system, it is important to know each camera's "creep zone." A creep zone is essentially a blind spot that the camera can't pick up depending on how the camera is mounted or the angle at which the lens is pointed. Creep zones allow intruders to bypass video systems by "creeping by" undetected – so it is important to go with a system that has the smallest area creep zone as possible.

New York bishop launches protest against 'Catholic' Gov. Cuomo over gay 'marriage'
gay marriage, new york
NEW YORK, June 29, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In the wake of New York's passage of same-sex "marriage" on Friday, one of the state's Catholic bishops is launching a "protest" against Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other lawmakers who backed the legislation. The bishop says he will refuse the politicians participation in events at parishes and schools, and will turn down any honors the legislators award them.
Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of Brooklyn said the move is "intended as a protest of the corrupt political process in New York State."
"More than half of all New Yorkers oppose this legislation," he wrote in a statement. "Yet, the governor and the state legislature have demonized people of faith, whether they be Muslims, Jews, or Christians, and identified them as bigots and prejudiced, and voted in favor of same-sex 'marriage.'"
The bishop's announcement comes as influential canon lawyer Dr. Edward Peters of Detroit's Sacred Heart Major Seminary has renewed his call for the state's bishops to deny Communion to Catholic Gov. Cuomo, due to his persistent campaign for same-sex "marriage," in addition to his public cohabitation with girlfriend Sandra Lee, a host on the Food Network.
Gov. Cuomo signed the same-sex "marriage" bill Friday night, scarcely an hour after it had passed the Senate in a 33-29 vote.
Dr. Peters says Cuomo's efforts to secure same-sex "marriage" were "even more brazen" than his "public concubinage." He noted that while his cohabitation "gives prominent bad example against marriage," "his official actions in regard to 'gay marriage' have changed the very definition of marriage in the populous state under his care."
"Cuomo's long pattern of conduct in regard to 'gay marriage' triggers, in my opinion, an obligation on his part to refrain from approaching for holy Communion per Canon 916 and, should he approach anyway, upon ministers of holy Communion to withhold that august sacrament from 'those obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin' per Canon 915," the canonist, who was recently appointed as a consultant to the Vatican's Apostolic Signatura (the Church's highest court), wrote on his blog June 26.
In the same-sex "marriage" campaign "no one played a more important, and indeed a constitutionally essential, role" than Gov. Cuomo, said Peters. "Without Cuomo's long-standing and vigorous public support for 'gay marriage', without his unswerving political efforts to advance that project and, most specifically, without his signature on the bill (placed there with obvious enthusiasm and much self-satisfaction), New York would not have legalized 'gay marriage' on June 24."
Peters suggested New York's bishops issue a "public announcement" that Cuomo is barred from Communion, saying this "befits the markedly public character of Cuomo's conduct and responds better to the danger of scandal presented to the faithful by his actions."
The bishops' response, he noted, "will undoubtedly serve as an example to other bishops confronting Catholic complicity in the push to grant the legal status of marriage to same sex unions in their territories."
Peters also said he believes the governor's conduct warrants a canonical investigation under Canon 1717, which applies a "just penalty" to those who "in a public show or speech, published writings, or in other uses of the instruments of social communications … gravely injure[d] good morals."
In his statement, Bishop DiMarzio said Gov. Cuomo and the state legislature "have deconstructed the single most important institution in human history," adding that the bill "will undermine our families and as a consequence, our society."
"With this vote, Governor Cuomo has opened a new front in the culture wars that are tearing at the fabric of our nation," he continued. "At a time when so many New Yorkers are struggling to stay in their homes and find jobs, we should be working together to solve these problems."
The bishop insisted that political leaders "do not believe their own rhetoric." "If they did, how in good conscience could they carve out any exemption for institutions that would be proponents of bigotry and prejudice?" he asked.

Color can be the most talked about love/hate topic when it comes to interior design. Some people loves colors and want to have lots of color all over. While others are quite timid when it coms to color and want everything neutral. But why are colors so controversal? Color evokes strong emotions. Color can make a work space more productive. It can make a home feel warm and enjoyable. It can make a spa relaxing. And the food taste better in a restaurant.
However, color can also do the opposite if used incorrectly. Color can make a work place seem hostile and uninviting, a home cold and sad. A spa agitating and take away your appetite in a restaurant. Color is linked to us and our emotions through psychology, anthropology, and our own personal history.
Have you ever heard someone say they hate a certain color? For instance I had a client who hated orange but if you said pumpkin or terra-cotta she loved it. Do you have the same reaction to certain colors? Chances are you do and so do your clients. This is because we relate colors to situations and memories. We also have physiological responses to colors. There are colors that will increase your heat rate and appetite. There are colors that can decrease your heart rate and appetite. There are colors that can increase your metabolism.
Are you having a hard time focusing in your office, or find that your staff is constantly getting off track. It could actually be the color on the walls that is creating the lack of production. One of the best colors for productivity is yellow. Ok I can hear the dissonance from here – not everyone likes yellow. Isn't that a really partisan color? Well that's where a good interior designer comes in. Because yellow can mean a lot of different things. Like I spoke about before with orange there are different shades of yellow and each shade has a different meaning and effect on the individual. So where one shade of yellow can be agitating, or seem out of style, or too bright another can be warm and inviting, muted and peaceful or exhilarating. So does this all sound really confusing?
Here is what you need to remember – a good interior designer is going to know how colors affect people on both psychological and physiological levels. They are also going to interview you to know what effects you want you clients to feel when they are in your business. And also how you feel about color and if you have any strong attachment/dislike of certain colors. Not to say that one can't determine their own feelings on color but isn't it better to know ahead of time that you are going to hit the mark the first time. In this day and age any head start on your competition should be taken and an area that business people don't always think about is whether their colors are having the right impact on their consumer.

sorry im very late on this i barely decided to make a build thread now.
I grew up racing since i was 5 my dad used to race clubs with his 72 rx3 I believe. Willow Springs, Button Willow, Laguna seca etc.
I kept my own budget at 3 grand.
Since I grew up around Mazdas I felt that a Miata would be the perfect match. Rx7s were unreliable, and as a first car it might not be the smartest choice.
E30s which was my first choice did not quite carry on, it was just a hype phase. I did finally settle with the Miata.
I came across this 1992 Mariner with a stunning 89500 miles.
The only flaws were the vert top, window was definitely shot and the front bumper previous owner told us someone backed into him.
Last edited by Gene Rodriguez; 08-28-2018 at 02:25 PM.
so about 2 weeks later me and my dad were getting aggravated with the dumb vert top water seeped though easily.
My dad found a hardtop from a 99 nb nardi edition dark green was a salvaged car.
I first wanted to start off with necessities tires, top, engine oil, etc.
Since we got it, tires were shot so around the same month I got the hardtop I found a guy on craigslist.
new tires for the stock daisies and later on buy a new set of rims and buy another set of tires.
The guy on craigslist was selling a set of Rota RB 15x7 offset 35.
Dad knocked it down to 250 if I remember correctly so about 530 with tires mounted.
My taillights were leaking! common problem for the age.
My dad had some Cibie H4 lamp housings saved from his old rx7 gsl.

Patra's Other Place: Five weeks later.
Kitchen soon to be finished.
Powered by the Aussie Sun!
Busy busy busy around here!
Kitchen still not finished, but will be soon.
Somebody commented to me the other day that I haven't posted anything to this blog lately. So I looked, and they were right. To tell the truth, I had forgotten all about it. I've posted a few bits and pieces on my stitching blog, but just don't seem to have the same enthusiasm lately. So for the benefit of whoever might still be keeping an eye on me, this is a brief rundown of the past month.
I'm still wallowing in the delight of our lovely kitchen. We now have four new chairs to replace the 50's retro chrome and plastic ones, and we are waiting for a holland blind to be installed. This replaces the 40 year old curtains that were on the floor to ceiling window. God I'm glad they are gone....I got to hate them in the last few years! The windows in the lounge and dining room have the same curtains, and I am looking forward to getting rid of them too, in due course.
The solar panels are connected and generating electricity, and Energy Australia tells us that our next electricity reading should be a quarter of what it has been. We are getting a tree lopper to come and chop off some branches from some of the larger trees on the west side of the house that overlook the solar panels, and that will increase the amount of sunlight they get.
Ken's finches and canaries are mostly surviving the cold winter, although they've lost many of their babies, but that is to be expected from these birds which are native to a tropical climate in northern Australia. We're surprised that even the adult birds have survived so well. The chooks are all feathered up after their long moult in autumn, and are laying enough eggs for our use. The cats are the cats. What else does one say about them?
Ken's health is fairly stable. I am so thankful that he retired in time to avoid being exposed to such a cold winter, as I think he would have had a lot of time off work otherwise. He keeps himself occupied with his new car, the bikes (rides on fine days with his mates), looking after the birds, and doing small maintenance stuff around the house. We have a gardener come every couple of months to mow the lawns, whippersnip edges, and prune shrubs etc. because Ken doesn't have the strength for that now.
Apart from when we go out somewhere together, I spend my time reading, sewing, chatting to friends (mostly on the phone in this weather - it's been too cold to go out for morning/afternoon teas!), and the usual cooking and housework.

Q: Monitor a process's usage of each CPU core Is there a way to query or calculate the CPU usage of a single process per each core separately?
For example,

Name - - - - Core1 - Core2 - Core3 - Core4
  firefox.exe - 0.5% - - 0.1% - - 0.2% - - 0.3%

I know a program called "Process Explorer" (by Mark Russinovich) that can do this, but how can I do this in C#? I've had a look at the System.Diagnostics namespace, but I couldn't find anything fitting to my requirements.
Here's a picture of what I'm trying to achieve,

A: There is a way to get that information, you will need to use a Kernel Debugger.
My suspect were that if the Visual Studio Concurrency Visualizer can get this information to make beautiful reports and visualizations, then you can also get it from the Windows Kernel for you use.
You can see some documentation here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff552961(v=vs.85).aspx .
But more interesting things can be found by reversing the Microsoft.ConcurrencyVisualizer.dll that can be found on Visual Studio 2012 installation directory.
I think you can also use directly this DLL on your project, although you cannot redeploy it as per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/vstudio/hh857605#files. That DLL is available standalone here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41646.
The idea is to learn how this DLL uses the Kernel Trace to know what Thread was on what Core and replicate it to get accurate statistics. Also, I think that ProcessExplorer does get some stats by using the Kernel Debugger API because the Visual Studio conflicts with it when I start the Concurrency Visualizer tool.
This will be fun and hard to do.

A: This question caught my eye and I started looking into it. Long back I too had a similar requirement but was not able to figure out answer for the same.
Ultimately I had to use the fall-back and the only option available to monitor process processor usage time in % (without any kind of theoretically calculative work or affinity fixes): Process / % Process Time.
I saw the graph - "Show one graph per CPU" (snapshot) in question and started investigating "Process Explorer" myself with surprise to figure out how does it manages to show what you or me (in past) were seeking.
Answer to your question is - "No it is not possible to find out per core processor usage per process" and your assumption of what "Process explorer" is showing is explained in the below quoted statement I found in the "procexp.chm" (available with the zip you download) topic > Process Explorer > System Information > Last Paragraph:

Note that the mouse tooltips for a processor graph show the name of the process that consumed the most CPU on the entire system at the associated time, not the process that consumed the most CPU on the particular CPU

I hope I am making sense here.
