Have the Emmys Bent Animation Rules for Community?
Should Community be eligible for an animation Emmy for its eight-bit video-game episode? Some of the biggest names in cartoons (including Seth MacFarlane and Matt Groening) are crying foul that the NBC sitcom has gotten to submit to that category for two years running based on special one-off episodes; meanwhile, animation writers are restricted from submitting their teleplays to the Outstanding Writing in a Comedy category and have to settle for an animation-only derby that Community is now crowding. They may be right to fear the show, since animation brought Community the only Emmy it's ever won: Individual Achievement in Animation for last season's stop-motion Christmas episode.
Have the Emmys Bent Some Rules for Community?

Sammy Hagar Announces His New Project To Celebrate 'Van Hagar' Years With Michael Anthony
Melek Nur PervanJune 17, 20213 mins read
Former Van Halen lead singer Sammy Hagar shared a post on his official Instagram page announcing a brand new Instagram account in which he will be sharing exclusive videos and pictures in collaboration with former bassist Michael Anthony from the time when both bandmates were in 'Van Hagar.'
Nearly every Van Halen fan, as well as the media, uses the name 'Van Hagar' in order to distinguish the two legendary eras of the band, one with David Lee Roth to which it was referred as the original name of Van Halen and the other one started when Sammy Hagar joined Van Halen as the band's lead vocalist back in 1985 quickly after the band parted its ways with Roth, which is often called 'Van Hagar' unofficially.
Sammy Hagar has been sharing moments with his former band on his official Instagram page for quite some time now and named them 'Weekly Van Hagar Posts.' Fans have been loving to see those special moments from the former member of Van Halen as Hagar also revealed the stories behind those pictures and gave major throwbacks to the band's fans who have been missing Van Halen since its disbandment after Eddie Van Halen's passing on October 6, 2020, due to cancer.
Former Van Halen singer has previously shared the moment when he was learning how to play the guitar from the legend himself, Eddie Van Halen, on stage, as well as his first-ever performance with Eddie Van Halen which was back in 1985, in addition to revealing pictures from special photoshoots with all of his former bandmates all of which has been a joy to see.
Now that fans have been eating up those posts, Sammy Hagar decided to turn these 'Weekly Van Hagar Posts' into an official Instagram account in collaboration with former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony as he announced via a post on his official Instagram page. Apparently, the two will be diving into their Van Halen archives and share them with their fans to reveal their memories with 'Van Hagar.'
Here is what Sammy Hagar said in the IG video:
"Hey everybody I got some fresh news for you. Mikey and I have been checking out all vintage footage and stuff we've been doing over the years with Van Hagar years and all that and we've found out some of the coolest stuff and we're digging, and we're digging, we're finding nuggets every day. And we're gonna share them with you, we're gonna start a brand new Instagram account it's called 'Van Hagar / Other Half.' It's gonna be fun, I can't wait!"
Van Halen fans have always adored Sammy Hagar's throwback moments that they have never seen before and now hearing that there's a page dedicated to those exclusive pictures and stories is incredibly thrilling to many as the official 'Van Hagar / Other Half' Instagram page has already more than 30k followers despite now having a post yet, other than the ones Hagar and Anthony shared to announce the page.

It's really a shame that more Manhattanites don't take the extra 5-10 minutes and head up to Harlem to really see what's up. This area is bustling with fantastic food and drink spots, with Cove Lounge definitely earning themselves a spot as a place to see and be seen, all while lounging, eating, drinking and enjoying a damn good night ahead.
The area of Manhattan can get either a little too sullen or way too hyped up and overcrowded to where you aren't really sure if you are having that much of a great experience. Cove Lounge finds a good middle spot for that, as you dine on their wonderful Caribbean-inspired cuisine while enjoying some one-of-a-kind cocktails and jamming to a ton of old school tracks that bring me all the way back to my middle school days in the 90's.
Conveniently located a block away from the 2/3 train at 125th Street, Cove Lounge also happens to be next to one of our other favorite restaurants in Harlem: Corner Social. If Corner is popping, so is Cove, especially in the culinary department as the food they gave me transported me to a whole other level and by level I mean out of NYC and into the islands.
The menu is a mixture of small and large plates, something that's become a major trend in and out of New York City. Both options work, however if you are enjoying an intimate dinner for two, it's best to order a bunch of dishes from the small plate options, as each one that me and my friend tried equate the whole vibe of what Cove Lounge is trying to sell.
Their Honey Sriracha Crispy Cove Wings were off the chain, so off I can't find the damn chain. I'm a sucker for a good chicken wing, and the key to a good chicken wing for me is the flavor. Pairing honey with sriracha is a great duo, and it worked really slathered all over these tasty wings.
I'm also a sucker for a good crab cake, so their Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes with Mango Salsa also do the trick. The key here is the mango salsa, which adds a tropical and very fresh component to the mix. On the large plate side, however, do yourself a favor and order their award-winning Lobster Mac N'Cheese. 3 cheeses in total, 1 mouth to fit it into, and endless opportunities of happiness in each bite. SOLD!
Cove Lounge has also gotten into the Broadway spirit, as they've partnered with Once on this Island: The Musical, starring American Idol alumni Tamyra Gray and Norm Lewis! The partnership coordinated by Cove Lounge & Walker International Communications Group on behalf of Once on this Island will be available through Feb. 28 at Cove Lounge, where every Thursday one lucky Cove guest will win two tickets to the show! More information that here.

#HelloHyde initiative celebrates millions of lives saved by the Hyde Amendment
By Rebecca Downs | July 18, 2016 , 01:28pm
As the Hyde Amendment approaches its 40th anniversary, pro-life advocates are coming together to celebrate this life-saving rider which has been added to the federal budget every year with bipartisan support since 1976.
Coordinated by Secular Pro-Life, the social media initiative announced in a Monday press release is known as #HelloHyde. Under the Hyde Amendment, federal dollars cannot be use to fund abortions except in rare exceptions.
Those interested in the initiative can sign up for the mailing list through the website to receive updates about the September 30, 2016 anniversary.
According to the website, their goals are to:
Celebrate the lives saved by the Hyde Amendment and the lives of all Medicaid kids.
Preserve the Hyde Amendment against attacks from the abortion lobby.
Expand the Hyde Amendment to cover children in every state and children conceived through violence, and cut the abortion industry off from all sources of taxpayer funding (not just Medicaid).
The initiative allows people to meet those who were saved because of the Hyde Amendment, as well as those born and helped with the Medicaid program.
#HelloHyde spokeswoman Gina Mallica is one of the recipients Medicaid assistance. "I received Medicaid care as a baby, so the Hyde Amendment is incredibly important to me. Low-income children deserve a chance at life, not a government-subsidized death," she said.
Stargift Thomas, a spokeswoman who was born and helped through Medicaid in 1991, echoed the sentiment.
"For forty years, the Hyde Amendment has affirmed that lives like mine are worth living," Thomas said.
Unfortunately, not all agree that the lives of Mallica and Thomas are worth saving. The abortion lobby — and the 2016 Democratic Party platform — have called for the repeal of the Hyde Amendment. Rather than offering true solutions and assistance to low-income women during their pregnancies, some would rather take taxpayer dollars to kill their children through abortion, an unpopular and bad choice.
That notion is a stark one for many, especially those who are alive today because of the Hyde Amendment.
Mallica said "the repeal efforts are offensive to the many Americans who owe their lives to the Hyde Amendment." She added, "The #HelloHyde campaign puts faces to this life-or-death issue."
For now at least, the Hyde Amendment is still in place and will be around to see its 40th anniversary. Thomas called it "a time to celebrate," and references the over one million lives it has saved. "We are confident that it will save many more in the future," she said.
This bipartisan, common-sense and life-saving amendment ought to be celebrated for many years to come.

Russian TV Anchor Comes Out as Gay On the Air, Gets Fired
Anton Krasovsky (above) spoke to CNN this week
Russian anchor Anton Krasovsky was fired for coming out on live TV earlier this year.
"I'm gay, and I'm just the same person as you, my dear audience, as President Putin, as Prime Minister Medvedev and the deputies of our Duma," he said.
According to an interview with Snob.ru, Krasovsky was reportedly fired from KontrTV, a government-backed cable network in December, and the footage of his announcement was quickly deleted from KontrTV's website and YouTube.

Krasovsky was also a founder of the cable network.
"Somebody should do it," he told CNN earlier this week. "I decided it's time to be open for me. That's it."
While the anchor's firing happened earlier this year, his story is grabbing the attention of the media now that Russia's antigay law has passed and is being strictly enforced.
"They immediately blocked all my corporative accounts, my email. Literally immediately, overnight," Krasovsky told Snob.ru. "They deleted not only my face from the website, but also all of my TV shows, as if I'd never really existed."
He said after making the announcement toward the end of his newscast, the audience and the crew applauded.

How much does my True Love love me truly?
This is, of course, the on air version of last year's post, The Nth Day of Christmas, when the podcast was quiet. But don't peek!
Ok, Ok, I know the First Day of Christmas hasn't come yet. I'm just anticipating getting a partridge in a pear tree.
Long-time listeners to The Math Factor will be happy will be happy to hear that 1,4,10,20,35… is listed in Neil Sloane's Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (oies.org) as sequence A000292. These numbers, of course, progressively give the total number of gifts one is stuck with on each successive day of Christmas. The OIES call them the tetrahedral numbers, which appear in numerous serious mathematical contexts, though one alert UK user did point out that the sequence has the Christmas spirit.


You really really don't want to be running CentOS 6.5 on anything, especially if it's internet facing in any way. CentOS 6.5 was released in December 2013 and was superceded by 6.6 in Oct 2014 at which point, no more updates were made for 6.5. The solution is simple, you need to run yum update to get up to date - currently 6.9 but RHEL 6.10 is in beta upstream. There are numerous high severity vulnerabilities in 6.5 and you need to update to the latest to fix those.
I can't answer the original question though you might want to tell us if you are running your own DNS server or if you have it hosted by a third party DNS supplier (which is what a lot of us do as it's a complex task to run a DNS server).

Q: Woodbury identity for fast matrix inversion—slower than expected The Woodbury matrix identity states that the inverse of a rank-k correction of some matrix can be computed by doing a rank-k correction to the inverse of the original matrix.
If A is a p × p full rank matrix that is rank corrected by UCV where U is p × k, C is k × k, and V is k × p, then the Woodbury identity is:
(A + UCV)^{-1} = A^{-1} - A^{-1} U (C^{-1} + V A^{-1} U)^{-1} V A^{-1}

The key is that rather than inverting a p × p matrix, you invert a k × k matrix. In many applications, we can assume k < p. Inverting A can be fast in some cases, for example if A is a diagonal matrix.
I've implemented this here, assuming A is diagonal and that C is the identity:
def woodbury(A, U, V, k):
    A_inv = np.diag(1./np.diag(A))  # Fast matrix inversion of a diagonal.
    B_inv = np.linalg.inv(np.eye(k) + V @ A_inv @ U)
    return A_inv - (A_inv @ U @ B_inv @ V @ A_inv)

and sanity checked my implementation by verifying that
n = 100000
p = 1000
k = 100
A = np.diag(np.random.randn(p))
U = np.random.randn(p, k)
V = U.T
M = U @ V + A
M_inv = woodbury(A, U, V, k)
assert np.allclose(M @ M_inv, np.eye(p))

But when I actually compare this to numpy.linalg.inv, my Woodbury function is not nearly as fast as I would have expected. I would expect the time to invert to grow cubically with th dimensionality p. But my results are:

My question is: why is the Woodbury method so slow? Is it simply because I'm comparing Python code to LAPACK or is there something else going on?
EDIT: My experiments with einsum() vs. broadcasting
I implemented three versions: (1) using einsum and einsum_path, (2) using broadcasting per the accepted answer, and (3) using both. Here is my implementation using einsum, optimized using einsum_path:
def woodbury_einsum(A, U, V, k):
    A_inv = np.diag(1./np.diag(A))
    tmp   = np.einsum('ab,bc,cd->ad',
                      V, A_inv, U,
                      optimize=['einsum_path', (1, 2), (0, 1)])
    B_inv = np.linalg.inv(np.eye(k) + tmp)
    tmp   = np.einsum('ab,bc,cd,de,ef->af',
                      A_inv, U, B_inv, V, A_inv,
                      optimize=['einsum_path', (0, 1), (0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 1)])
    return A_inv - tmp

And results are here:

So avoiding the computational cost of matrix multiplication with a diagonal matrix is faster than optimizing the ordering of matrix multiplication and memory footprint using einsum().

A: As you mention, inverting A + UCV can be made faster by using the Woodbury technique in the case when A is diagonal. That is, in the Woodbury formula your multiplications by A^{-1} should happen in O(p x m) time instead of O(p x m x p) since all you're doing is scaling the rows/columns of the right/left term.
However, that's not what you're doing in the following code!
def woodbury(A, U, V, k):
    A_inv = np.diag(1./np.diag(A))
    B_inv = np.linalg.inv(np.eye(k) + V @ A_inv @ U)
    return A_inv - (A_inv @ U @ B_inv @ V @ A_inv)

Your A_inv is a full p x p matrix! Yes, the diagonal is the only part that contains non-zeros but the arithmetic with all of the zero elements will still be carried out in this dense matrix! Instead, you should use Numpys broadcasting abilities to avoid this unnecessary work. (Or, as sparse diagonal matrix using Scipy's sparse module.)
For example,
def efficient_woodbury(A, U, V, k):
    A_inv_diag = 1./np.diag(A)  # note! A_inv_diag is a vector!
    B_inv = np.linalg.inv(np.eye(k) + (V * A_inv_diag) @ U)
    return np.diag(A_inv_diag) - (A_inv_diag.reshape(-1,1) * U @ B_inv @ V * A_inv_diag)

The product V * A_inv_diag is equivalent to your V @ A_inv but runs in only O(p x k) time as opposed to O(p x k x p). Similarly for the other replaced products.
I re-ran your timings on my (slightly faster) machine and produced the following plot:

Much clearer performance distinction!

An open house will take place on Saturday, May 5th from 9AM to 12PM at the Webster School Department's new administrative offices located at 77 Poland Street. Students, parents, families and the public are invited to view the hard work put in by students from Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School in Charlton. Students converted unused classroom space into the new offices.
The school administrative offices moved from the former Filmer School on East Main Street to the back of Bartlett High School in February. That old school building at 31 East Main Street was put up for sale the day after the move and sealed bids are due at 11:00 AM on Monday, April 30th.


Thomas Baldwin Marsh (November 1, 1799-January 1866) was an original member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles. He served as president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles from 1835-1839. He was excommunicated from the church March 17, 1839, and remained disaffected for much of his life. Marsh rejoined the church in July 16 1857, but never again served in church leadership positions.
Marsh was born in the town of Acton, Massachusetts in Middlesex County, Massachusetts on November 1, 1799. His father was James Marsh. His mother was Mary Law. He spent his early life farming in Westmoreland, New Hampshire.
As a young man, Marsh developed a pattern of traveling and working for various employers. Marsh ran away at age fourteen to Chester, Vermont, and worked as a farmer for three months. Then he left for Albany, New York, working as a waiter for eighteen months. He spent two years working at the New York City Hotel in New York City, New York, then returned to Albany for a year, and then went back to the hotel for two more years. He spent eighteen months working as a groom for Edward Griswold in Long Island, New York.
At age twenty-one, he married Elizabeth Godkin on November 1, 1820, while employed for Griswold. After his marriage, he attempted unsuccessfully to run a grocery business for eighteen months. After that, he spent seven years working at a type foundry in Boston, Massachusetts.
During his work at the type foundry, he joined the Methodist Church. However, dissatisfied because Methodism did not correspond to the Bible in his mind, he left and joined a group of friends in what others called a Quietist sect.
Marsh left his home in Boston and journeyed west, traveling with a Benjamin Hall. In his words, "I believed the Spirit of God dictated me to make a journey west." He stayed at Lima,in Livingston County, New York, for three months before returning home. On the way home, he stopped at Lyonstown, where a woman informed him of the Golden Plates which Joseph Smith had obtained. She directed him to Palmyra, New York, and told him to seek out Martin Harris.
Marsh traveled to Palmyra and discovered Martin Harris at the printing office, working on the printing of the Book of Mormon. He was able to obtain the first sixteen pages as a printer's proof. He met Oliver Cowdery at this time as well.
Returning to his home, he showed the sixteen pages to his wife. They both were pleased and corresponded with Oliver Cowdery and Joseph Smith. After the church was organized on April 6, 1830, he moved with his family to Palmyra to join them that September.
Shortly after his arrival, Marsh was baptized by David Whitmer in Cayuga Lake, and a few months later ordained an elder by Oliver Cowdery. From September 26 to September 28, 1830, Joseph Smith received Doctrine and Covenants section 31 directed to Marsh. In this section, he was called as the church physician.
Marsh moved with the Church to Kirtland, Ohio, in the spring of 1831. He was ordained a high priest and received a call to proselyte to Missouri with Ezra Thayer (See Doctrine and Covenants 52:22). Thayer delayed for a long time, and so Marsh went to Joseph Smith, who appointed Selah J. Griffin in Thayer's stead. (See Doctrine and Covenants 56:5).
May 4th, 1835, in company with the Twelve I left Kirtland and preached through the eastern states, holding conferences, regulating and organizing the churches, and returned September 25.
After these activities with the Twelve Apostles, Marsh returned to Fishing River, Clay County, Missouri, in April 1836. Severe difficulties between Mormons and the larger community continued to plague the LDS people in Missouri. Marsh was chosen as a delegate from his community to try to resolve these issues. Despite the efforts of Church members, their Missouri neighbors decided that the Saints must leave Clay County.
In September of 1836, he returned to Missouri and joined the Saints in their new location, a city called Far West in Caldwell County, Missouri. The town had been founded by the presidency of the Missouri Stake, consisting of David Whitmer, William W. Phelps and John Whitmer. These men were authorized to purchase land on behalf of the Church for the benefit of Latter Day Saint settlement. Meanwhile, in Kirtland, the financial situation of many of the Mormons unravelled with the failure of the Kirtland Safety Society bank. A dispute arose between the presidency in Missouri and the Church presidency in Kirtland over the land funds, with both sides accusing the other of financial improprieties.
Marsh sided with the church presidency and convened a series of church courts in the spring of 1838. He charged the Whitmers and Phelps along with Oliver Cowdery of financial impropriety and other failings. The court released these men from their positions and disfellowshipped them. Marsh was named as President of the church in Missouri, with David W. Patten, and Brigham Young, as Assistant Presidents, on April 6, 1838.
In April of 1838, Church presidents Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon moved to Far West, which became the new Church headquarters. Although disfellowshipped, David and John Whitmer, Oliver Cowdery, W.W. Phelps and other former leaders (who were known as the "dissenters") continued to live in the County. By early June, some of the more zealous Mormons, led by Sampson Avard, formed a society which came to be known as the "Danites." According to Marsh, these men swore oaths "support the heads of the church in all things that they say or do, whether right or wrong" (Document, p. 57). According to Reed Peck, two of these Danites, Jared Carter and Dimick B. Huntington, proposed at a meeting that the society should kill the dissenters. Marsh and fellow moderate, John Corrill, spoke vigorously against the motion (Peck, pp. 22-23). On the following Sunday, however, Sidney Rigdon issued his "Salt Sermon" in which he likened the dissenters to salt that had lost its savor and was "good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men" (Van Wagoner, p. 218). Within a week the dissenters had fled the county.
"A company of about eighty of the Mormons, commanded by a man fictitiously named Captain Fearnot [David W. Patten], marched to Gallatin. They returned and said they had run off from Gallatin twenty or thirty men and had taken Gallatin, had taken one prisoner and another had joined the company. I afterwards learned from the Mormons that they had burned Gallatin, and that it was done by the aforesaid company that marched there. The Mormons informed me that they had hauled away all the goods from the store in Gallatin, and deposited them at the Bishop's storehouses at Adam-on-diahmon" (Document, p. 57).
Because a Mormon attack was believed imminent, a unit of the state militia from Ray County was dispatched to patrol the border between Ray and Mormon Caldwell County to the north. On October 25, 1838, reports reached Mormons in Far West that this state militia unit was a "mob" and had kidnapped several Mormons. The Mormons formed an armed rescue party and attacked the militia in what became known as the Battle of Crooked River. Although only one Missourian was killed, initial reports held that half the unit had been wiped out. This attack on the state militia, coupled with the earlier expulsion of non-Mormons from Daviess County led Missouri's governor to respond with force. On the 27th of October he called out 2,500 state militia to put down what he perceived as a Mormon rebellion and signed what became known as the "Extermination Order" (Baugh, pp. 108–09).
"About this time I got a beam in my eye and thought I could discover a mote in Joseph's eye, though it was nothing but a beam in my eye; I was so completely darkened that I did not think on the Savior's injunction: 'Thou hypocrite, why beholdest thou the mote which is in thy brother's eye, when a beam is in thine own eye; first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, then thou shalt see clearly to get the mote out of thy brother's eye.'"
Years later, in 1864, George A. Smith claimed in a sermon that Marsh had left the Church because of a dispute between his wife and other Mormon women over a milk cow (Journal of Discourses, 11:9). Although this tale (see Ludlow, Doctrine and Covenants, p. 363) has made its way into Mormon folklore, Smith's statements are not supported by any contemporary evidence.
In 1857, Thomas Marsh was rebaptized. Marsh wrote an autobiography in 1864, recounting his church service and rebellion. It was published in the Millennial Star of that year. However, his religious affiliation still may not have been fixed. According to Elder Thomas Job, a missionary of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (now known as the Community of Christ) serving in Utah, shortly before his death Marsh attended an RLDS conference in Salt Lake City, and there claimed that Young Joseph (Joseph Smith III) was a prophet and bore a strong testimony to the truth and necessity of the Reorganization. He said that he would move east to join them if Young Joseph would send for him.
Thomas B. Marsh died in Ogden, Utah, in January of 1866. He is buried at the Ogden Cemetery. The grave is adorned with a plank of wood, on which can barely be read "T. B. M.".
Despite his prominence in early church history, Marsh is rarely mentioned in instructional classes, discourses on religion or sermons in the modern church. Marsh's conversion story is occasionally cited as an example of how powerful the Book of Mormon can be in convincing people of the truthfulness of the church. When his apostasy is mentioned, he is often referred to either as an example of pride or as an example of one who failed to fulfill his calling to serve the church. Mormons note that, had Marsh been faithful, he may have eventually become president of the church instead of Brigham Young, who was the original third apostle.

Yesterday, Drei here looked back upon his 2014 AL Forecast . Like any pre-season predictions, there we're hits, and there we're plenty of misses. In looking back at Drei's 2014 NL Forecasts you will notice a little more accuracy around his Senior Circuit picks.
After a slow start, the Nationals would finish strong once again, finishing with the leagues best record at 96-76. Their strong finish would be capped off by Jordan Zimmerman's no hitter on the final game of the season.
I did say that the Marlins would not finish in the NL East's cellar. There we're times when this young team displayed some flashes of how bright their future could be. Season ending injuries to both Jose Fernandez and Giancarlo Stanton hurt, but both are still well into their youth, Fernandez is scheduled to be back by mid-season next year.
After starting off 12-20, one had to wonder if last season's success was a mere blur for the Bucs. However, the Bucs would finish strong, and with a 50-31 home record, would finish 88-74, taking the favored Cardinals to the final weekend of the season before finally finishing 2 games behind, making the playoffs for the 2nd straight season as a wild card.
We all know the story of Clayton Kershaw by now. Can the starting pitching get enough praise from us ? Greinke would have another big season winning 17 games, while Ryu and a rejuvinated Dan Haren would also have solid season as well, winning 14 and 13 games each.
Well, I did say that Kirk Gibson would be gone before season's end , even if the timing of his termination was rather odd, 3 days before the end of the regular season. Why not just let him finish out the string ? Then again, this is the Arizona Diamondbacks organization we are talking about here. An organization who the last couple of years has had it's share of mind boggling headlines.
The Boys in Blue head to the post-season on a roll, having won 8 of their last 10. Everything seems to be clicking at this moment for the Blue. If their is one concern I have heading into the post-season, it is the status of our bullpen . It is no secret that our bullpen has been inconsistent, particularly our middle relievers. The status of Hyun-Jin Ryu is a minor concern for me but in a Best of 5 the Dodgers may be able to get away with a 3 man rotation of Kershaw, Greinke and Haren.
After a hot start to the season, the Braves would come to a crashing halt late in the season and as a result would fire their GM Frank Wren . The Pirates, after a 12-20 start, would turn things around to the point they we're still in contention to win the NL Central flag on the games final day of the season. For the Giants, it was a tale of 2 seasons, at one point having the Senior Circuits best record and a 9.5 game lead on the Dodgers. Injuries and offensive inefficiencies would contribute greatly to the Giants mid-summer swoon, however, a mid-September run would put them in position to capture the NL's second wild card spot.
So how do the Giants and Pirates matchup for their Wild Card showdown ? The Pirates come into this matchup on a roll having won 18 of their last 24, while the Giants hit a rough patch during the season's final 2 weeks. However, the Giants do carry with them plenty of post-season experience and I do agree that the loud PNC Park crowd will not phase Madison Bumgarner as he matches up against Edison Volquez, winner of 5 straight. Who does Drei pick to head north to DC ?
Friday can't come soon enough for our Rally Pet Minion Dave. This fun loving mischivious character is excited for Blue October !!!


Hapag-Lloyd is investigating another embarrassing boxship prang caught on social media. The one-year-old, 10,500 teu Santos Express collided with three ferries while proceeding to DP World's Santos Terminal in Brazil on Sunday night. The 333 m long ship is understood to have triggered extensive damage to one ferry in particular as it veered off the fairway and came very close to the ferry terminal piers at the Brazilian port.
The incident was captured on a smartphone just like the dramatic images from March when the 8,000 teu Hapag-Lloyd boxship Tolten scraped the side of 6,350 teu Hamburg Bay at South Asia Pakistan Terminal (SAPT) in Karachi.


Coppola (Matias Kuoppala + band) is a singer-songwriter originally from Vörå, Finland, now living in Norway. Coppola's music is influenced by americana, folk and classic rock, with a Nordic melancholy side to it.
Coppola is an up-and-comer on the Norwegian singer-songwriter scene, known for intimate, emotionally charged shows. The concert at Malakta, however, will be the first time the artist performs this material in his native Finland.


Greetings from the Bay Area!! It has been an awesome trip so far! I can't begin to tell you about the food that I've eaten and made over the last few days! It has been quite the variety. Here is a quick update on some of the things I have eaten. Trust me there is plenty more to come.
I had some perfect Chicken Piccatta from an amazing hotel and restaurant in Carmel, CA. Piccatta is a lightly sauteed chicken with a lemon sauce that has capers and wine as the base of the sauce. Seriously, if you can find this, make it now! It is so good!!
Homemade Spanish Tortilla which is a lot like a quiche, but the application is much simpler. You can flavor it with anything! It is so quick to make. You can use it for any meal and it can be on the table in 20 minutes.
Some lamb and beef gyros from a local Mediterranean hotspot with taztizki( a yogurt sauce with cucumber and lemon) and home made pestos that are to die for! So good! I'm hungry just thinking about it!
This is just beginning of the list of some of the great food on this trip. I look forward to sharing mor with you as the trip continues.
Oh, in case you are wondering where the photos are….well, turns out that I am being thwarted by technology. Sad, right? The technology I am using is only allowing me to limp along, but I won't be able to correct it until I return to homebase. I know, sad, but think about all the photos that will be waiting to make their blog debut.
Stay tuned! This adventure continues!!

I have never patched hardwood floors before but I will see what I can do tomorrow. I need to cut out the floor under the new cabinet so it's level with the rest, so I'll have pieces I could use to patch... I am hoping I don't make any catastrophic mistakes!
Unfortunately, I can't help you with your floor situation but maybe I maybe I can help you with the hydrangeas you can't keep alive. I have never had one die, however, mine are extremely old. I have a very brown thumb so this is a miracle. My brother says they like acidic soil. How to make your soil acidic? I don't know but mine are planted under cedar trees and that does the trick. I cute them back, almost to the ground, every fall. You might try googling it.
mommy likey! stupid builder! ugh patching is no fun but if you have more flooring it isn't that bad I guess. I know you can get it done!

Each month, the Sip Advisor will alphabetically travel Canada, discovering the best each province has to offer in a variety of subjects. We will also featuring a drink the area is known for. Today, we begin our journey in Alberta, sometimes called the Texas of Canada. Does this comparison hold true? Let's find out:
Nicknames: Alberta is known as the Wild Rose Country, based on its provincial flower. The wild rose appears on licence plates in the province. The moniker has also been adopted by Wild Rose Brewing, based out of Calgary.
Motto: "Strong and free" – Typically, when you're strong, you're free!
Food: While Alberta is known for its beef industry (used in Canadian McDonald's burgers, among other products), it should be noted Chinese restaurant staple Ginger Beef was invented in Calgary. Silver Inn chef George Wong is said to have created the dish of deep-fried beef strips in a sweet and spicy sauce in the mid 1970's. Since then, it has spread to other Asian eateries.
Drink: The Caesar, Canada's far superior cousin to America's Bloody Mary, was created in Calgary, in 1969, at the Calgary Inn. Although similar recipes predate this variation, this rendition, made by restaurant manager Walter Chell, was the first time the cocktail was comprised of the unique recipe we know today, with the Caesar name. May 13, 2009 was proclaimed Caesar Day in Calgary.
Site to See: For outdoorsy types, the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks are a must-see destination. The World Heritage Site is comprised of four National Parks (Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho), offering stunning landscapes. For indoor entertainment, there's West Edmonton Mall, complete with indoor amusement park, water park, ice rink and more. Finally, for young and old alike, Dinosaur Provincial Park allows people to embrace their love of dinosaurs.
Street: The Icefields Parkway (also known as Highway 93) runs through both Banff National Park and Jasper National Park, connecting the two. The route allows access to glaciers and lakes, including such picturesque sites as Lake Louise, the Athabasca Glacier and Athabasca Falls, Peyto Lake, Bow Lake and Maligne Canyon. Along the way, people can also spot various wildlife.
TV Show: Heartland, based on a series of 26 novels by Lauren Brooke (although the books are set in Virginia), ran for 15 seasons and 234 episodes, becoming the longest running one-hour scripted drama in Canadian TV history. The show centers around Amy Fleming and the activity on her family Ranch in Alberta. Most filming for the series was done in High River.
Movie: The majority of the Disney movie Cool Runnings – loosely based on the real-life story of an unlikely Jamaican bobsled team competing at the 1988 Winter Olympics – is set in Calgary, which hosted those games. Starring John Candy (in one of his final roles) as disgraced bobsled coach Irving Blitzer, the film was a hit and a personal childhood favourite of mine.
Book/Author: Todd McFarlane is one of the most well-known comic book artists/writers in the world. His work on Spider-Man in the late 80's and early 90's led to great success and McFarlane forming his own publishing company, Image Comics, which released McFarlane's Spawn property. Outside the comic world, McFarlane has popular businesses in McFarlane Toys and Todd McFarlane Entertainment.
Fictional Character: X-Men wildcard Wolverine was born in Cold Lake in the 1880s, according to the mutant's backstory. Wolverine is among the most popular super heroes of all-time, having appeared in numerous comic iterations, as well as other media, such as the X-Men movie franchise (portrayed by Hugh Jackman), which led to a trilogy of solo films for the character.
Fictional City: Adult animated cartoon Crash Canyon is about a society of people who have all wound up stuck in an Alberta canyon and are unable to return to their regular lives, due to the canyon's high walls. The series lasted two seasons and I wish, like the show, that golf tees were currency, as it would justify my brief golf phase as a teenager.
Actor/Actress: Nathan Fillion, star of shows such as Firefly, Castle and The Rookie, was born in Edmonton. Fillion's role in Firefly, as ship captain Malcolm Reynolds, earned him cult favourite star status. In his hometown, the Edmonton City Hall was renamed the Nathan Fillion Civilian Pavilion on August 7 and August 8, 2021, resulting from a fan petition with over 27,000 signatures.
Song: Alberta Bound, originally performed by Gordon Lightfoot, is about being en route to Alberta, with the singer heaping great praise on the province. Lyrics include: "I'm Alberta-bound, This piece of heaven that I've found, Rocky Mountains and black fertile ground, Everything I need beneath that big blue sky". The song has been covered by other artists such as Bryan Adams and Paul Brandt.
Band/Musician: Alberta has produced a number of female artists who have gone on to great careers domestically and internationally. Singers/songwriters include Joni Mitchell, k.d. Lang, Jann Arden, Tegan and Sara, and Feist. Among them, Mitchell has been described as "one of the greatest songwriters ever" and one of "the most important and influential female recording artist of the late 20th century".
People: I was surprised to learn that actor and marijuana activist Tommy Chong was born in Edmonton. Chong is best known for his stoner comedy duo, Cheech & Chong, with Cheech Marin. The two released several popular movies and albums together, but my favourite role for Chong was as baked hippie Leo Chingkwake on That 70s Show.
Animal: Charlie was a mule that survived the 1903 Turtle Mountain landslide, which killed 70-90 people who called the mining town of Frank home. The mule managed to endure underground for more than a month by eating bark and drinking available water. Sadly, Charlie was overfed oats and brandy by his joyful rescuers, resulting in the mule perishing.
Invention: The SMART Board was developed Calgary husband and wife team David Martin and Nancy Knowlton in 1991. No longer would teachers and instructors alike have to struggle with chalkboards, overhead projectors or whiteboards. By 2016, the tandem's company, SMART Technologies Inc., was purchased by the Foxconn Technology Group for $200 million.
Crime: Known as the Edmonton Shooting, in 2014, 53-year-old Phu Lam killed his wife, stepson, in-laws, a family friend and a neighbour. His victim count totalled eight people, making it the deadliest mass murder in the province's history. Lam would take his own life following the homicides. In 2021, Lam threatened to do exactly what he later carried out. At the time of the crime, he was in heavy debt due to a gambling addiction.
Sports Team: Calgary, with the Flames (NHL) and Stampeders (CFL), and Edmonton, with the Oilers (NHL) and Elks (CFL), host all of the province's professional franchises. The rivalry between the two cities is dubbed the Battle of Alberta for games between the NHL teams, while the Labour Day Classic is contested each September between the two CFL squads.
Athlete: Figure skater Jamie Salé was born in Calgary. Salé became internationally recognized when she and partner David Pelletier were awarded Olympic gold medals following the 2002 Salt Lake City figure skating scandal, which saw a brided French judge fix scores leading to a Russian team victory. Other top Alberta athletes include Alphonso Davies, Grant Fuhr, Jarome Iginla and Mark Messier.
Famous Home: A mecca for professional wrestling fans, the Hart Family home in Calgary is where such stars as Bret Hart and Owen Hart were born and raised, while other world famous grapplers were trained in the home's basement, affectionately known as the Dungeon. The list of legends to graduate from the Dungeon include Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, the British Bulldog, and Jim and Natalya Niedhart.
Urban Legend: The Banff Springs Hotel, in scenic Banff National Park, is known as one of Canada's most haunted locations. Opened in 1888, the resort is home to a number of ghosts, including a bride (famous enough to have her own coin and stamp) and bellman, based on former employee Sam McCauley, who passed away in 1975, but is said to still help hotel guests.
Museum: Canada's Sports Hall of Fame can be found in Calgary. The museum highlights Canada's role and history in the sporting world, as well as the many athletes that have represented the country. Opened in 1955, close to 700 inductees have been enshrined into the Hall of Fame, split between athlete and builder categories. The building is hard to miss, painted in Canadian flag colours of red and white.
Firsts: In 1916, Alberta's Emily Murphy, a women's rights activist, was the first female judge in Canada and the British Commonwealth. Thereafter, in 1917, fellow activists Louise McKinney and Roberta MacAdams were the first and second females elected to a legislature in the British Empire. MacAdams would go on to be the first woman to pass a piece of legislation.
Company: A favourite eatery of the Sip Family, Boston Pizza was founded in Edmonton, in 1964. The chain was originally known as Boston Pizza and Spaghetti House, ironically established by four Greek (not Italian) immigrants. One of the first Boston Pizza franchisees and one of its current owners is Jim Treliving, best known for being one of the investors on Dragons' Den.
Events: The 1988 Winter Olympics were hosted in Calgary, with skiing events taking place in Kananaskis Country and Canmore. Canada failed to win any gold medals as host country, but the facilities built for the event resulted in Calgary becoming a hub for Canadian winter sports training development. These Olympics also produced the aforementioned Jamaican bobsled team and Michael 'Eddie the Eagle' Edwards.
Miscellaneous: The Calgary Stampede, one of the world's largest rodeos, is known as the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth". Numerous free pancake breakfasts and barbecues are served throughout the 10-day long event, hosted every July since 1923. One million visitors are estimated to attend the event each year and it's on the Sip Advisor's bucket list to attend one day.
Angry Canadian
2 oz Canadian Rye Whiskey
Dash of Maple Syrup
Dashes of Angostura Bitters
Garnish with a Maraschino Cherry
This Old Fashioned variant was invented by Calgarian Steve Johnston in 2013. I liked the hint of maple syrup you could smell with each sip of the cocktail. I could have used the drink being a little more complex, but it's a good start to this journey across Canada.

Citroen reviews
Citroen C1 review
Rebecca Jackson, Car reviewer, Telegraph Cars
Rebecca Jackson
Cheap to run
Less than 10k
Easy to park
The Citroen C1 is one of the cheapest new cars on sale, but it still faces some stiff competition
Under the skin, the Citroen C1 is closely related to the Peugeot 108 and Toyota Aygo. However, the three cars look quite different, with the C1 boasting the funkiest styling thanks to its striking nose and cheeky good looks.
The C1 can also be specified with everything from a reversing camera to leather upholstery, despite being Citroen's cheapest model.
Buyers can have the C1 as a three-door hatchback or a five-door, and there's even the option of a retractable roof.
Space 5/10
A squash for four people
Four people can squeeze into the C1, but adults will wish there was more legroom in the back; it's nowhere near as roomy as the similarly-priced Hyundai i10.
The C1's boot is also pretty small, but it can take a carry-on case or a few bags of shopping. And as long as you avoid the entry-level 'Touch VTi' model, the rear seats fold down in two separate pieces, so you can transport longer loads alongside a single rear passenger.
Whether you go for the three-door version of the car or the five-door, the rear windows don't wind down, but pop out on a plastic latch.
Comfort 5/10
Let down by road noise and an unsettled ride
Every C1 except the cheapest, Touch model comes with a height-adjustable driver's seat. However, some people will still feel like they're stretching to reach the steering wheel because this doesn't adjust for reach.
The C1 also tends to jostle its occupants around over poorly surfaced roads. But it copes reasonably well with potholes and speed bumps.
Road noise is a bigger issue, becoming quite intrusive at times. And there's a lot of wind roar on cars with the optional fabric roof.
Buyers can choose from 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre petrol engines, with the 1.0 the smoother of the two, sending less buzz through the pedals and seats.
Dashboard layout 6/10
Some nice touches, but no mistaking it's built to a tight budget
Flair specification and above C1s have a touchscreen control system in the centre of the dashboard. This can link wirelessly to most smartphones and mimic their layout, making it easy to play your music, make calls or use Google maps navigation.
Just make sure your phone is compatible before you buy, and bear in mind that the screen can be difficult to read on sunny days when the optional fabric roof is open.
The dashboard itself is built from plastics that look and feel cheap, although you can add glossy inserts that give it a bit of a lift.
Easy to drive 5/10
At its best in the city, but vague clutch is a pain in stop-start traffic
The C1's tiny size combines with light steering and decent visibility to make it easy to manoeuvre and park. However, it can be hard to pull away smoothly because the clutch pedal offers little feedback.
Also, while the 1.0-litre engine feels nippy enough in town, it takes an age to get the car up to motorway speeds; here the 1.2 offers useful extra performance.
The 1.0-litre car does have a more precise manual gearshift than the 1.2, making it the better option if you rarely venture outside the city limits. But we'd avoid the optional automatic no matter what sort of driving you do, because this is slow-witted and jerky.
Fun to drive 6/10
Rivals are better
The steering feels a little sticky around the straight-ahead position, but it's accurate enough to let you place the C1 with confidence in corners.
Unfortunately, the car still sways around quite a bit and there isn't much grip. The rival VW Up is much more composed and enjoyable to drive.
Reliability 4/10
Previous C1's performance isn't encouraging
The current C1 is too new to have been included in the JD Power customer satisfaction survey, but the outgoing model could finish only 100th out of 109 cars in 2014.
Citroen does provide a three-year, 60,000-mile warranty, which is in line with the cover on the Peugeot 108 and Volkswagen Up. However, the Toyota Aygo has a five-year, 100,000-mile warranty, and the Hyundai i10 a five-year warranty with no mileage limit.

Fuel economy 9/10
Both engine choices are very frugal
Both engines average more than 65mpg in official Government tests, and you can even have a version of the 1.0-litre that averages close to 75mpg.
True, high-40s is more realistic in the real world, but the C1 should be at least as efficient as rival city cars.
Affordability 10/10

Few cars are cheaper to run
The C1 will cost you more than an equivalent version of the Hyundai i10, but it's cheaper than the VW Up.
What's more, every version of the C1 emits less than 100g/km of CO2, which means your first year's road tax is free. By contrast, only the special eco versions of the i10 and Up dip under the 100g/km barrier.
Insurance and servicing costs should also be low, and Citroen dealers are willing to haggle on price or finance deals.
Safety 8/10
Six airbags come as standard
The C1 is still to be crash tested by the independent assessors at Euro NCAP, but it should certainly be safer than the outgoing model, which scored just three stars out of five.
Every model comes with a stability control system that helps you stay on the road in slippery conditions. Plus there are six airbags: four that protect those in the front, and two that run the length of the car at window level.
It's just a pity Citroen doesn't offer the automatic city braking system that you can have on theSkoda Citigo or VW Up.
Standard spec 8/10
Worth upgrading from the cheapest model
The cheapest C1 is the Touch model, which comes with the 1.0-litre engine, electric front windows and a socket that lets you connect your iPod to the stereo, but is otherwise pretty basic.
That's why we'd be tempted to upgrade to the Flair; it adds air-conditioning, a digital radio, steering wheel-mounted stereo controls and a Bluetooth hands-free phone connection.

The verdict 6/10
The Citroen C1 is cheap to buy and run, plus there are enough big-car luxuries to keep you entertained. However, the Hyundai i10 offers you a lot more space for similar money, while the VW Up is classier inside and better to drive.
