The version is first split into numeric and character portions and then the parts are padded to be the same length (i.e., "1.1" would be padded to be "1.1.0" when being compared with "1.1.1", and separately, the character parts of the strings are padded with nulls).
Note that version "1.1-test2" will compare as greater than "1.1-test10". Also, since the numeric part is compared first, "a" compares less than "1a" because the second string starts with a numeric part even though double ("a") is greater than double ("1").

Inside Muse's 'Drones' Strike: Matt Bellamy on High-Concept LP
Why the operatic rock band decided to strip down its sound and cut a politically-charged new record

Muse's new album, 'Drones,' is a politically-charged concept album that the band plans to support on tour with their most theatrical production yet.
Muse spent the past few years pushing the sonic boundaries of rock & roll, creating increasingly bombastic music that utilized symphonies, choirs, synthesizers and, in the case of 2012's The 2nd Law, Skrillex-inspired dubstep sounds. But when they began plotting out Drones, their politically-charged seventh album inspired by the expanded use of drone warfare across the globe, the trio decided it was time to radically strip things down. "Our intention was to go back to how we made music in the early stages of our career," says Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, "when we were more like a standard three-piece rock band with guitar, bass and drums."
Bellamy says he's immensely proud of Muse's last three albums, but things were just getting a little out of hand. "We probably spent more time in the control room, fiddling with knobs and synths and computers and drum machines than actually playing together as a band," he says. "As I look back at the last three albums, each one had progressively less and less songs that we could play live."

Xmas or Bust: The Untold Story of 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'
Muse produced their last two albums themselves, but this time around they decided to bring in an outsider. "We wanted to spend our time in the live room, being performers," says Bellamy. "So we knew we had to find someone to sit in the control room and handle most of the production side." Their management team of Cliff Burnstein and Peter Mensch suggested Robert "Mutt" Lange, best known for producing AC/DC's Back in Black and Def Leppard's Hysteria. "Before I met him I wasn't sure," Bellamy says. "I didn't want us to be turned into a kind of Top 40 act."
The group flew out to Switzerland to meet Lange, who remains one of the most mysterious figures in rock. He almost never grants interviews and has rarely even been photographed. "He's a very eccentric person, very laid back," says Bellamy. "He has the air of a person that has not lived in the constraints of normal society or life for a very long time. You feel like you're in the presence of some sort of guru or spiritual outsider."
Much to their surprise, Lange was incredibly enthused about the project. "I figured that Mutt Lange would be more focused on, 'What's the single? What's going to be the big hit?,'" the singer says. "He wasn't like that at all. He was totally into the concept. He is the kind of person to get into the mind of the artist and whatever the artist wants."
Muse recorded their last three albums within a short driving distance of their families, but this time around they opted to travel to Vancouver and work at Warehouse Studios. "It was neutral ground," says Bellamy. "We all went there and had nothing to do but live and breathe the album."
They cheated a bit by adding pianos and synths to a few songs, but they mostly stuck to their pledge of using just guitar, bass and drums. "As soon as you pick up a guitar you're up against the legends of rock," says Bellamy. "The same goes with stadium drum kits and electric bass. Essentially, you're already in a soundscape that's very familiar and has a lot of established legendary material recorded using those instruments."
A concept about the dehumanizing aspects of drone technology is, however, fresh territory for a rock band. Bellamy first got the idea about two years ago when he read the book Predators: The CIA's Drone War on al Qaeda by Dartmouth professor Brian Glyn Williams. "I was shocked," he says. "I didn't know how prolific drone usage has been. I always perceived Obama as an all-around likable guy. But from reading the book, you find out that most mornings he wakes up, has a breakfast and then goes down to the war room and makes what they call 'kill decisions.' He makes that decision based on a long chain of intelligence people who, as we all know, can be very unreliable."
The LP kicks off with "Dead Inside." "It's about someone having something bad happen to them, but they choose not to feel it but become dead inside," Bellamy explains. "Then they go on and become vulnerable to these dark, oppressive forces, which are more than happy to take advantage of people like that." After furious dialogue from a drill sergeant ("your ass belongs to me now!"), the album gets even darker with "Psycho," "Mercy" and "Reapers." "They're about being overcome by these oppressive forces," says Bellamy. "Midway through 'The Handler,' in the darkest places, the protagonist, or me, since I'm singing in the first person, feels this desire to actually feel something. They decide, 'I don't want to be used by others. I don't want to be controlled. I don't want to be a cold, non-feeling person. I want to actually feel something.' The desire to fight against the oppressors sinks in."
Midway through, a JFK speech from 1961 is played, unedited. "He's addressing the American press about how to deal with the rise of communism," says Bellamy. "What's so interesting is that he never says the words 'Soviet Union' and he never says the word 'communism.' He's just talking in general terms about oppressive systems and how there are people out there who want to infiltrate and covertly control us or dominate us and create these complex bureaucratic systems that enslave humanity in one way or another."
The JFK speech leads directly to "Defector," "Revolt" and "Aftermath." "This is where the person tries to inspire others to think for themselves and think freely and independently," Bellamy says. "Then this narrative ends on 'Aftermath' where the person is ready to re-engage. He recognizes the importance of human love." It ends with the 10-minute track "Globalist," which is a separate narrative from the rest of the LP. "It is almost the same story with a bad ending," the singer explains. "At the end you have the ghosts of the unknown dead that have been killed by robots that will never see justice and we'll never see who they are, haunting us."
It's hard to imagine any of the songs getting airplay on Top 40 radio, but Muse have managed to become a stadium-level act all over the world without the benefit of mainstream hits. "I'm sort of happy to not have had to rely on the mainstream methods to reach people," says Bellamy. "I think when you rely on those too much, you lose a bit of your independence. You have to play certain games and you have to start worrying about things like commerciality."
Muse are booking a world tour right now that will find them performing in the round, and they don't plan on applying the stripped-down approach of the album to their staging. "Its going to be even more theatrical than probably any show we've done in North America," says Bellamy. "I don't want to promise too much, but we want to incorporate drones into the show. I don't know what health and safety will allow us to do though."
There's talk of playing the entirety of Drones at a special concert at some point, but the regular show will feature cuts from the band's entire career. "We want to integrate the old songs with the new songs," the singer says. "The goal is to create a sort of abstract narrative, not necessarily a specific story."
Countless people have argued in recent years that the album as an art form is dead, but Muse hope this whole project will prove that idea wrong. "Apple, iTunes and streaming services have made the single a more easy thing to access," says Bellamy. "What that's done has made the album as a collection of songs almost meaningless. But an album that has a concept or story or reason to be an album, if anything, has more meaning now than it ever has."

It's A Big Weekend For North Texas College Football.
Juan Betancourt December 1, 2017
The University Of North Texas Is Having One Of Its Best Football Seasons Ever, And It Wants To Cap It Off With A Conference USA Championship This Weekend.
It's a good year to be a North Texas area college football fan.
The University of North Texas is having one of its best football seasons ever, currently boasting a 9-3 record. The Mean Green will now try to improve upon that record by winning it's first Conference USA Championship when faces off against Florida Atlantic University on Saturday morning.
UNT will be going into this game looking for revenge in this one, as FAU won the regular season matchup 69-31 when the Mean Green defense gave up a whopping 804 yards. That may sound bad, but that loss was a turning point for North Texas, as the team followed it with a five-game winning streak and went on to win the Conference USA West Division for the first time in school history. A win on Saturday would make North Texas eligible for one of three bowl games: the New Mexico Bowl, Bahama Bowl or the Armed Forces Bowl.
"We've got to learn from our previous mistakes and make sure we are completely focused, which we will be," head coach Seth Littrell told Mean Green Sports. "Any time you have the opportunity to compete for a championship, the guys are going to be ready. We've had a terrific week of preparation. The biggest thing is learning how they tried to attack us last time and know how we will try to attack them. It's a little bit of cat and mouse; they're going to change some things and so will we."
If North Texas does lose in its conference championship matchup, the team will head to the Heart of Dallas Bowl, a game the Mean Green is no stranger to, having played in it twice in a span of five years. In 2014, North Texas beat the University of Nevada, Las Vegas 36-15 and lost to Army 38-31 in 2016.
Meanwhile in Funkytown, TCU will attempt to to upset Oklahoma in the final regular season game of the Big 12 Conference as it aims to win its first conference title since 2014 this weekend. A win against No. 2-ranked Oklahoma would give TCU just the slightest chance at maybe sneaking into the Top Four and making the College Football Playoff. Win or lose, TCU is projected to either play for the Cotton Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl or the Alamo Bowl.
Not to be forgotten here in Dallas, there's also Southern Methodist University, a team that became bowl eligible by finishing third in the American West Conference with a 7-6 record. Right now, it's looking like the Mustangs will be heading to the Frisco Bowl.
Its been a strange season for Texas college football, with traditional powerhouses like the University of Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech and Texas A&M all being power ranked below both TCU and UNT as the season closes out.
But, hey, let's put that behind us for this weekend and be good Texans as we cheer the Mean Green and the Horned Frogs onto victory.
UNT vs FAU will be shown on ESPN 2 at 11 a.m. TCU vs. OU will show on Fox at 11:30 a.m.

Sympathy for the Devils
@macguffin – Understood and they're all good points – though I don't think 10th place is unrealistic with the current playing squad if truth be told.
Agree completely about the DoF position – how the Glazers and Woodward refuse to bring one in remains a mind-boggling decision.
@hookedveil – if Lingard is injured then that's a positive outcome! Worried about AWB, Pogba and Martial though… Shaw isn't a big miss either.
September 11, 2019 at 12:11 pm #1781894
happy – I dont want this to become a debate, we don't want to upset your amigo libanski not to mention N!xer but to answer your question, your assertion is false because:
1) The scouts didn't "unearth" James, he was recommended to the club by Giggs. Did you know this? Do you dispute this?
2) The scouts haven't unearthed a gem in decades, so your use of the word "another" is false, its spin.
3) James is not a gem, he can rightly be considered as a prospective gem just like that lump of coal may be considered a prospective diamond. Time will tell, it may very well turn into a diamond but like so many of our prospects it may remain a lump of coal.
4) I used the word star because that is what a gem is, its a rare and precious thing that has significant value. I asked you to define what you meant by gem, you ignored the question as you normally do when you have no answer.
5) If the scouts were uncovering gems at the pace you suggest then everything would be rosy, certainly with the scouting department. But that is not the case because you fibbed, you were spinning again.
You were doing what you always do, hyping somebody up and heaping praise well well before it is warranted. This inability of yours to wait is emotional incontinence, and we all know what can happen when you suffer from incontinence.
@libanski -hey he asked the question and I assume he wanted an answer. I just gave it to him 🙂
I think the match may surprise us. Leicester are a good team and may very well think we're ripe for the taking. They won't park the bus to the extent relegation teams do. It could well be an open game. I predict a draw, 2-2 would be my guess.

I reckon a few of those 'injury doubts' will manage to play. If all are out I hope Lindelof isn't played at RB. Yes he has struggled a little this season but we need to build his partnership with Maguire. I'd call up either O'Connor or Williams to play full back with Fred coming in for Pogba alongside McT

Mac – So Ryan Giggs called up Man Utd and said "hey you really need to buy Dan James"?
Really? Is that actually what happened? Isn't it more likely that Man Utd called Giggs to ask his thoughts on their target? Even if it is the case, does it really matter? Our "scouting network" (perhaps inclusive of former players) got together for talks and as a result we ended up signing Dan James for pittance.
Again I'm not "heaping praise" on Dan James, show me where I am? I said he looks a great prospect. Do you know what prospect means?
You also might need to look up the word "another". It doesn't refer to a time period. So if our scouts unearthed a gem 20 years ago and then unearthed a gem 20 years later – it can be referred to as another gem!
Jesus, I thought you were the master of the English language…
Really? Is that actually what happened? @happyhurling – We dont know for sure who found James. You dont know. But we do know it was widely reported Giggs recommended him. Its unusual it should be reported, can't think of it happening with another player. Does the club never phone people who know the player. Point is, its unsure, we dont know yet you give credit to the scouts without knowing.
And its not unusual somebody would suggest a player. Agents and players do it all the time as well as people with connections to the club or player.
Our "scouting network" (perhaps inclusive of former players) got together for talks and as a result we ended up signing Dan James for pittance. What everybody in the network got together. Jeez must have been a big room. You are once again making it all up. The procedure for signing players is documented (I posted links in another topic). Yes the chief scout would have had to have given his approval but thats another matter, you are talking of unearthing.
The scouting network normally refers to people under the direction and instructions of the club. It doesn't include friends & contacts.
Again I'm not "heaping praise" on Dan James, show me where I am?
You called him a "gem". Do you know what a gem is? That's praise. If I called you a cretin would it not be fair to say I am heaping derision on you? Tell me, WHAT IS A GEM?
You also might need to look up the word "another". It doesn't refer to a time period. Haha and you call me pedantic! Yes it does. By implication and usage it means happened relatively soon after the previous occurence.
If you visit me and I ask "Would you like another cup of tea". And you ask when was the last one and I reply "5 years ago". Most sensible people would raise their eyebrows. You are just clutching at straws but the best way to end it is to ask you …….. how would you describe our scouting departments "unearthing of gems"……… Frequent, Occasional, Rare?
Jesus, I thought you were the master of the English language… No you didn't, you're just lying again. Jeez I must start your Pinnochio chart.
PS – Apologies to forum but happy will insist on flogging a dead horse.
Mac – If Thailand get's wiped out by a Tsunami tonight it would be reported as "Another tsunami takes its toll on Thailand" wouldn't it?
The last one was in 2001!
"Unearthing a little gem" means finding something really good that was a bit of a surprise. I'm not saying DJ is a star player (he's not) but he's a great prospect. A little gem infact, considering what we paid for him.
Right, i think that's significantly bored the fuck out of everyone and repeated the same points 16 times. Cheers.

If we're relying on penalties to win the match then we're in trouble, neither Rashford nor Pogba would instill confidence in that regard. Perhaps Dan James should take them….. Having said that I think we have the potential to do well. Leicester will see us as being there for the taking but keeping Maddison quiet is key and making sure that a quick player is on Vardy, in other words not Young or Maguire. Maguire should be able to give Ole an insight into what Rodgers is doing with Leicester and how they might play and react in certain scenarios. It should give us the upper hand, we just need to be able to take advantage of it.

Mac-Give happy a break,will ya, dude? English is not his 1st language,hehehe!
killy-I went for a 2-1 but I wouldnt be shocked to lose this game tbh.

@Mac, well for me 42 is always the answer to any question! Joking aside, they'd be pretty close to a 5 as we went from being one of the best teams in the world to an inconsistent, dull mid-table team in record time. There's always hope that someone, somewhere will eventually learn a lesson but I think the fact that we're going into an home game against Leicester worried and/or without a clue how the match will go says it all. That's simply the life of a mid-table team.

@happyhurling – You missed the " relatively soon" part of the definition. 20 years for a Tsunami in the same location is relatively soon as it was for a World War in Europe. 20 years for a salesman to make another sale is not relatively soon nor is it for a scouting department to unearth a gem.
At long last a definition of a gem from you. So basically anybody who performs better than mediocre is a gem, since by inference that is a surprise. Personally given the resources and cost of our scouting department I think they should be doing better than an armchair pundit would. And I think 4 games is a far too early to pass judgement. Will you use those same 4 games to pass judgement on our season.
Anyhow, I agree we should drop this but really happy if you didn't raise silly points like what "another" means or have such a low standard for superlatives & praise then exchanges like this would be redundant.
@redblood – Yeah I know, his first language is dutch, he speaks it twice which is why its called ……. (you can work that one out).
@roygbiv – Yes I picked up on the 42 reference but it's a bit dated, doubt anybody without greyhair would.
The scouting department is an abject failure. Aside from the fact they don't "unearth gems" they are responsible for unearthing the pile of shite we are desperately trying to get rid of and the main cause of our demise. When you consider they are also responsible for assessing if the mental & character attributes of potential signing is compatible with our expectations then it makes their performance all the worse.
We'd do as well just compiling a list of under 21 national players in various countries and doing online polls to find out which players are rated best. I'd love to know how much our scouting network costs and how much these scouts earn.
steveosnakeeye
i picked up on 42 and it shouldnt be only people with grey hair to get that reference, shameful if true!

Q. In the last 6 years how many signings do you think were on the advice of our scouts as opposed to Ed being manipulated by super agents and Jose's mates?
Personally, I'm not convinced that the scouts have been listened to in the slightest. Mendes, Raiola and opportunity have I suspect been largely responsible for the disjointed squad we have. Ed has had his pants pulled down time and again.
The scouts have been finding the players for the under 18's and youth sides, Chong etc. My jury is still out as to their success in this area as they are just breaking through.
@hookeddevil – Interesting question. My guess, based on piecing together various reports is, it works like this …….
If the club has a need for a position it informs agents (mailing list) and then reviews their offers. Conversely agents inform potential clubs if they have players looking for a move. Scouts may then be sent to matches to watch the player and report back.
Scouts send player reports to the club. The club has a "recruitment analyst" whose job it is to collate reports and provide "quantative and qualative" information into the system. I should imagine the club must have a player database.
The key people involved in recruitment are:
Matt Judge [head of corporate development] handles financial aspects like evaluation of player value and negotiations over fees and contract extensions. He is the person who considers the commercial implications of signings and retentions.
Jim Lawlor [chief analyst] assesses player suitability and team needs (I think). He is head of scouting so boss of Bout and Murtagh. [more clarification needed]
Marcel Bout [head of global scouting] he manages the scouting network (United has 58 scouts) and provides player assessments
John Murtagh [youth development chief] provides information on youth player development.
Ed Woodward [ceo] has final say and determines budgets and spending.
Ole [manager] can suggest players (target list) and is asked to endorse/veto proposed signing. I don't think managers today have the same powers as SAF where they decide who to sign, how much etc.
Scouts will have contacts in their region who they look to for information about players (that goes into a club scouting database) or kept on a watch list by the scout. I suspect scouts spend less time watching players than before and more time cultivating relationships with clubs, agents and reporting duties.
Bottom line is, scouts dont scout like before and agents sell their players more. Internet, video etc, mean players can be monitored with less need for scouts and there are information services (eg stats, media reports) that cover players of all age in all leagues.I think fans are misguided living in the past in what they think scouts actually do.
PS – The reason they may be more active with under 18 and youth is those player may not yet have an agent and money (fee) is not so much a factor in those players.
Just a thought. How many players in the squad who have not come through youth can be considered prospects, young players we've signed for relative low fees from other clubs who are "ones for the future" and who we are taking a punt on.
Only Dalot and James fit the bill I think. What's the point in scouts finding gems if there's no space in the squad for them.
Bit of a change of subject, but is Fred still alive?
Irrespective of the scouting and purchasing system work – it's evident that, before the last transfer window, it wasn't working whatsoever. We were overpaying for players who didn't suit our style or the club's mental requirements. We purchased older players for high fees rather than invested in younger players.
In my opinion, we need to attack the signing of players (going to ignore the scouting part since, as MacGuffin noted, the dynamic has changed and is not clear) in the following way:
We should prioritize and can fork out large amounts on first team players for a position that will be strengthened heavily through the signing (for example, how AWB and maguire were signed this year). Players can also a bit on the older side but we should not aim for anyone over 27 or so.
We should aim at spending lower amounts on relatively unknown but potentially good players for the future (Dan James being a great example). The age should be relatively young so that we will either be able to give them time to develop or, should they not manage to make it in our team, we can still sell them on for a profit after 3 to 4 years (with current inflation taken into account).
We should aim at signing as many high-level 16, 17 or 18 year olds as possible in the same vein as we have been attempting to do over the last few seasons: signing a group of these players will cost us less than making one medium-sized transfer and, even if they don't make the grade, will still most likely make us a profit after a few years. We should add in future transfer clauses to get a % of their next transfer.

Howard Alk (25 October 1930 – January 1982) was a Chicago, Illinois-based filmmaker, and an original co-founder of The Second City theater troupe. In the 1960s he began to work in film with the Chicago Film Group, filming and directing documentaries, completing American Revolution 2 (1969) and The Murder of Fred Hampton (1971). He also collaborated for years with singer/songwriter Bob Dylan, producing films with him through 1981.

Early life and education
Born and raised in Chicago, Howard Alk attended local public schools. An advanced student, he enrolled in the University of Chicago at the age of 14; under the presidency and chancellery of Robert Maynard Hutchins, students could enroll in a Great Books-oriented interdisciplinary undergraduate program contingent on the passage of an entrance test and sophomore standing in high school, a requirement that may have been waived for Alk. Many students were placed in advanced classes on the basis of placement tests and could accelerate their studies by taking subject tests at their convenience, often completing the degree in as little as two years. He was a member of the student-run Compass Players cabaret troupe, with Elaine May and Mike Nichols.

Career
After the troupe disbanded, Alk joined fellow Compass players and University of Chicago graduates Paul Sills and Bernie Sahlins as a co-founder of The Second City. They developed this theater troupe, based on improvisation, from Viola Spolin's theatre games. Alk had previously worked with Spolin's son, Sills, at the Gate of Horn.

According to Sahlins' 2001 autobiography, Days and Nights at the Second City, Alk coined the troupe's name. He is also credited with coining a definition of a Freudian slip as "meaning to say one thing and saying a mother."

Alk left The Second City in the early 1960s for other projects. He became associated with The Film Group, a Chicago film production company, where he shot and edited several of the group's films, including American Revolution 2 (1969) and The Murder of Fred Hampton (1971), both of which he directed.

Alk was a longtime friend and collaborator of singer/songwriter Bob Dylan. In 1962, Dylan had performed as the first act at Alk's club, the Bear. Alk accompanied Dylan "on tour, shooting footage, editing, taking photographs—and assisting on the classic Dont Look Back, as well as Eat the Document, Hard Rain, and Renaldo and Clara, all made and released through 1978. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, he resided at Dylan's Point Dume estate in Malibu, California. Although Hard Rain and Renaldo and Clara were released to diffident critical and commercial receptions, Dylan continued to retain Alk as a filmmaker and photographer on various projects (including several filmed concerts on the 1981 World Tour) until his death.

Alk also worked on Janis, Festival, Luxman Baul's Movie and other films.

Death
Alk regularly used heroin. On January 1 or 3, 1982, he was found dead at Rundown Studios, Dylan's studio in Santa Monica, California. Although the coroner ruled his death an accidental heroin overdose, other sources report his death as a suicide. Although Alk's first wife, Jones, and his second wife, Joan, both expressed their belief that he had intentionally killed himself, no corroborating evidence has ever been found.

Alk was survived by his parents Rozetta and Lou, his wife Joan, and their young son Jesse Alk.

"it's gonna be great!" john homans (1958–2020)
Ariel Levy (writer): He was not so much your editor as your guru. I didn't just trust him to tell me what to do with a story; I trusted him to tell me what to do with my life. Joe Hagan (writer): He was a vision-quest editor: He gave you a mandate, in this oracular style that's hard to describe. When I was tired, depressed, demoralized, he'd say, "Oh, this is the sport of kings, man! We're lucky! This is the great fortune—the world is ours to go have fun with!"

GENERAL-ELECTION SEASON typically announces itself with a handful of reliable signposts—veepstakes rumors, dueling party conventions, more frequent campaign rallies in contested states. The presidency of Donald Trump has occasioned a new one: the deployment of militarized federal forces on American soil. Their presence in Portland, Oregon (and at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2018), is more than a flex of authoritarian muscle. It marks, for Trump, the establishment of an election-year ritual, a political strategy ripe for replication anytime he faces the will of the voters. Especially if he thinks he might lose. With three months to go until Election Day, the president is seeing some of the worst polling numbers of his tenure. Eight in ten Americans think the country is heading in the wrong direction, and just 38 percent say…

FERGUSON POLICE OFFICER Darren Wilson shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown around this time of year, when the high summer sun in Missouri heats the pavement to temperatures that sear the skin. There are concerts, and at night the riverfront lights up with fireworks. Around this time, Lezley McSpadden's mind usually turns to the logistics of honoring her late son, whom she called "Mike Mike." Usually, she is planning an annual foundation gala to benefit mothers who have lost children to violence or preparing a visit to Brown's grave site on the anniversary of his death, August 9. But this summer brought with it a new climate, with protesters calling out the names of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery and, still, Mike Brown. Seeing officers indicted, a police…

JOE BIDEN AND ELIZABETH WARREN didn't know each other extremely well until March. They'd been crossing paths for well over a decade, most uncomfortably in 2005 at a Capitol Hill hearing, where they collided over bankruptcy law and the Delaware senator called the Harvard Law professor's argument "very compelling and mildly demagogic," and most closely ten years later at Biden's official residence in D.C. There, the VP secretly told Senator Warren he would want her as his running mate if he ran for president in 2016. For all their mutual respect, when they finally shared a debate stage in September 2019, it wasn't exactly chummy. So when Warren and Biden spoke on the phone shortly before she dropped out of the presidential race early this year, there was every reason to…

One of the things I like about Casa Diaz in Mira Loma is the menu features several items that are rarely found on standard Mexican restaurant menus.
The owners are from the state of Jalisco where the city of Guadalajara is located. Specialties from this region, which can be found on Casa Diaz' menu, include tacos de barbacoa, tacos or torta ahogada, mulitas, torta de pierna adobada and carne en su jugo. Not all of those dishes sound familiar, but I'm certain that you'll want to try most of them, if not all, subsequent to my descriptions.
Let's begin with the carne en su jugo — very tender pieces of braised beef in a savory broth of its own juices containing green onions and tomatillos. It's marked on the menu with one chile pepper, but is not overwhelmingly spicy.
The torta ahogada, also known as "drowned pork," is not served on the typical soft bolillo roll. The blend of meat, refried beans and pickled red onions is served on salted bolillo bread which is a bit like sourdough with a hard crispy surface and an undercurrent of sourness. It stands up better to the sauce of roasted tomatoes, garlic, vinegar, oregano and chile de arbol powder which is quite literally poured over the entire sandwich. It's messy, but oh so delicious.
The torta de pierna adobada is chopped pork shoulder served on a bolillo roll with a blend of lemon juice and Valentina sauce made with dried rehydrated puya chiles, vinegar, water and spices. The contents are topped with mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, red onions and jalapeno.
Tacos de barbacoa generally use brisket that has been slow-cooked in a blend of apple cider vinegar, beef broth and dried guajillo chile and lime which will invariably stain the tortillas red. Barbacoa also can be made with other meats as well.
Here, it is beef cooked in a combination of what they call "macho sauce" (made with chile de arbol and a smoky red sauce flavored with chipotle en adobo).
Three other tacos bear special mention: aco dorada tinga with a choice of shredded beef or potato is in a smoky tomato chipotle en adobo sauce resulting in a nice glow in the back of the throat. Taco picadillo is made with diced tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, ground beef, onions and garlic. Tripas tacos are prepared with small intestine tubes that have been deep-fried until crispy, and go well with chopped cilantro, diced onions and the verde salsa.
If that wasn't enough from which to choose, check out the mulitas. Two corn tortillas between which is stuffed a choice of meat, melted cheese and diced avocado — a fancier and more filling version of the Salvadoran pupusa. Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the mole poblano tacos, enchiladas and nachos, made with a rich sauce comprised of nuts, fresh and dried chiles, seeds and Mexican chocolate.
Casa Diaz Mexican Kitchen is owned by Raphael and Araceli Diaz and their son, nicknamed "Pollo," who does most of the cooking.
Also available is an extensive breakfast menu including Machaca con huevos, Casa choriquiles, breakfast burritos, huevos rancheros and other items.
The restaurant's motto is "fresh original home cooking" — and they live up to it. They offer unique regional dishes using an array of chiles with bold delicious flavors, provide friendly and attentive service, and a desire to feature the best cuisine that Guadalajara and Jalisco have to offer.


Insurance coverage Economics brings collectively the financial analysis of resolution making beneath threat, risk administration and demand for insurance coverage by people and companies, aims pursued and management instruments used by insurance corporations, the regulation of insurance coverage, and the division of labor between personal and social insurance. Appropriete both for superior undergraduate and graduate college students of economics, management, and finance, this text offers the background required to grasp current research. Predictions derived from theoretical argument will not be only said but confronted with empirical evidence. All through the book, conclusions summarize results, helping readers to verify their information and understanding. Issues discussed embrace paradoxa in resolution making underneath threat, selection of favorable risks by insurers, the opportunity of a "dying spiral" in insurance markets, and future challenges comparable to re-regulation within the wake of the 2007-09 monetary disaster and the increasing availability of generic information.

Q: Scanning through a string with regex and return exact value(s) The following shows a basic way to return all vowels in a string.
x = "I love Ruby".scan(/[aeiou]/)

If I assigned the matching keywords to a variable, would I be able to accomplish the same result shown above? I tried this but it seems not to work:
y = %w[bus car truck]

I want to match and return exact values only.

A: Regexp::union should work:
Regexp.union(y)

Preview: Barrow Trip Awaits The O's
Club News First Team Match Previews
access_time 3 months ago
Following a comfortable 2-0 win over AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Trophy, the O's will look to right the wrongs from their previous league defeat to Cheltenham with a victory over Barrow on Saturday.
Prior to welcoming Cheltenham to The Breyer Group Stadium, Ross Embleton's men had little time to prepare for the tie – after spending the majority of the build-up in isolation. The O's suffered a 2-0 defeat but recently managed to bounce back with a victory over AFC Wimbledon.
Orient will now look to build upon this new-found confidence, as Orient make the 327-mile trip to the north west to take on Barrow.
Barrow have certainly made a name for themselves within recent times, as they managed to mark an end to their 48-year hiatus from the Football League with promotion last season.
As the Bluebirds made the vertical leap to League Two, they had an early stumbling block, saying goodbye to manager Ian Evatt, who joined Bolton Wanderers.
Newly appointed David Dunn has made every effort to strengthen the squad, however, welcoming ten players to Holker Street.
These additions range from former Premier League and Championship youth players, to veterans with proven pedigree in the Football League. Mike Jones, who joined on a free transfer from Carlisle United, has already made an impact in the north west.
The 33-year-old midfielder has impressed both offensively and defensively during his very brief stint as a Bluebird. In an attacking sense, the battling midfielder helped salvage a draw against Colchester United with a long-distance effort – which helped earn Jones the Man of the Match award.
On the other hand, Barrow's key man has also proven himself as a defensive rock so far this campaign, by making an average of 2.5 tackles and 1.8 interceptions per game, according to WhoScored.
Barrow's other threats include Dior Angus and Scott Quigley, as the forward pair are synonymous with regular shots on goal, with the latter averaging as many as 4.5 shots per game.
The Bluebirds are currently one of five remaining teams in the division who are yet to taste a league victory, as they currently occupy the 21st position in the table.
Their last encounter came against Leeds United in the EFL Trophy, which resulted in 2-2 draw. The Bluebirds fought from two goals down to salvage a result and then eventually won the penalty shootout to gain a bonus point.
FROM THE DUGOUT
Both Leyton Orient and Ross Embleton are very familiar with Barrow, following the club's two-year stint in the National League.
"We had a memorable game in terms of going there on a Tuesday night. I suppose it was like that phrase, 'can you do it on a cold Tuesday night in Barrow', and that's exactly what that was," Embleton shared in his pre-match interview.
"We turned up for a big chunk of that game and were comfortable at 3-0. Then the game turned on its head and we were fortunate to hang on to a 3-2 win.
"It's a big game to look back on, as it helped us on our way to winning the league."
Ross later added: "I have huge admiration for the fact that Barrow have managed to work their way out of the National League. Actually, the year we beat them 3-2, myself and Joe Austin, the club analyst, we actually said that they were going to be a real threat last year."
Ahead of the O's long trip up to the north west, Embleton discusses the expectations the coaching staff has prior to the game.
"We're looking forward to it. We've obviously identified our strengths and weaknesses and how we can hurt Barrow at the weekend, and I'll expecting us to go there full of confidence and ready to go and get three points."
Despite netting his first goal of the season against AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday night, Lee Angol hobbled off with a hamstring injury. Embleton confirmed that Angol has had a scan and the striker himself admitted that the damage to his hamstring isn't as severe as the injury he sustained last season, though he won't feature for at least a couple of weeks.

Okay, so my Christmas album release came and went, Christmas came and went, New Years came and went, and my busy self hasn't done much with music since the album release – didn't even blog. So, on a whim, I'm resolving to do one simple improv a day for a month. That means I'm going to sit down at the piano, start the recorder, and play something that's hopefully never been played before. Then I'll post the recording on my blog. On Sundays, I'll do hymn/primary song arrangement improvs.
Anywho, here's the first, it's a simple improv arrangement of Beautiful Savior. Not to be confused with my published arrangement of the same song.
This arrangement of The Lord is My Shepherd has been floating around in the musical side of my brain for a number of years now, so I'm excited to finally have it done and put onto sheet music. Psalm 23, which is the basis of the text of this hymn, is probably one of the most quoted scriptures in the world, and for good reason.
Let me know if you guys want this made into sheet music.
We'll Bring the World His Truth Sheet Music Released!
Need Music for Your Blog?
I couldn't resist doing this one as a solo. The tune has such a lonely sound and feel about it, and the message is so intimate that I knew it would be best as a simple low flute solo.

What It's Like To Dine At Dubai's Most In-Demand Restaurant
By Mel Healy
You'll be forgiven for thinking you've stepped right through a plasma screen and onto the hottest reality cooking show of our time as you make your way into one of Dubai's most talked-about new dining establishments.
Hell's Kitchen at Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai – the only eatery of its kind outside of the flagship restaurant in Las Vegas – is the latest in a long line of culinary ventures for British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and his third outing in the United Arab Emirates since blasting his way on to the local food scene 18 years ago with Verre at the Hilton Hotel.
While best known for his loud, pompous façade and expletive-laden on-screen antics, there's no question Ramsay deserves the attention. The 52-year-old Michelin man knows food and has built a $US190 million ($AU270 million) business empire around it. His restaurants have earned 16 stars and currently hold seven.

The colossal pitch-fork greeting guests at the entrance to the 260-seat restaurant on the lower level of the hotel sets the scene for what's to come. As I walk in on the heels of the hostess guiding us to our table that's in direct view of the kitchen, I can see the entire space has been designed to create maximum drama and impact.
As I take it all in, it certainly does feel like I've walked on to the set of Hell's Kitchen, the Fox TV show that's been attracting the attention of foodies in lounge rooms worldwide for 18 seasons.
From the interior flourishes like the signature fiery pitchfork and iconic 'H' to the symbols smartly used on laser cut partitions and gold monogram wallpaper, every detail has been thought out and implemented to provide for an experiential and immersive meal out.

The open kitchen emblazoned with the trademark red and blue hues used in the show kitchen offers diners a front row seat to the theatre of the meal preparation, and while the colourful language we're so used to on the show doesn't fly here for obvious cultural reasons, the audible and emotive "yes, chefs" spat out with regularity from the 'red and blue teams' in the cooking zones give added punch to the already lively vibe.
When it comes to the quality of the food, as you'd expect the menu is full of hearty British fare. Diners have the choice of individual dishes or Gordon's Signature Menu (starter, main and dessert for Dh360 / $139). Ramsay's classic beef Wellington (Dh250 / $96) is the signature offering and one of the most popular among the punters, according to restaurant general manager Daniel Thomas.
Then there's the Hell's Kitchen burger (Dh140 / $54) and the braised short rib (Dh180 / $70) – I had this and it was divine, so tender and beautiful and rich. Dessert lovers are sure to salivate over the sticky toffee pudding, with its gooey toffee and delicious dollop of ice cream on top, just as we did (Dh60 / $23).
As for the prices, they're on a par with those at Ramsay's other Dubai establishment, Bread Street Kitchen and Bar at Atlantis The Palm (Verre is no longer operating), and for me, the quality of the food and the theatre surrounding it here is worth every cent.
On the evening I dine I'm hard pressed to find anyone who isn't satisfied with the experience, so I'd have to say this is one hell of an addition to the dining scene in Dubai that's attracted big-name chefs like Alain Ducasse (French), Nobu Matsuhisa (Japanese) and Jamie Oliver (British).
Celebrities like footballer Dwight Yorke and singer Nicole Scherzinger have made appearances at the establishment Ramsay himself calls "an exciting, high octane place" but on any given night there's usually one key ingredient missing – the man behind the brand. Ramsay officially opened the restaurant earlier this year and monitors it closely from afar but has elected Craig Best to drive the kitchen.
Best was in charge of Marina Social in Dubai prior to getting the call-up and says: "It's been an amazing journey".

Many people in San Diego know PaintGreen as a residential painting company—painting the interior and exterior walls of homes throughout San Diego. However, what many people don't know is that we are also experts at cabinet painting.
Painted cabinets have been a trend in San Diego for a while now, and they don't appear to be going out of style anytime soon. White kitchen cabinets, in addition to being very popular right now, are a classic look that we think will always look good. White cabinets appeal to many homebuyers as well, so if you are thinking you will sell your house in the near future, painting your kitchen cabinets white would be a good investment.
Another trend in cabinet painting in San Diego in recent years has been to paint cabinets a color other than white. We've seen homeowners paint their cabinets a soft shade of gray or even more bold color choices like aqua or navy blue. Some paint their upper and lower cabinets two different colors, and still others choose to only paint their island. With cabinet painting, you have almost limitless options!
Kitchen cabinet painting is a great way to freshen up a tired kitchen and much less expensive than replacing your cabinets. If you like the layout of your kitchen, but not the look of your cabinets' color or stain, having them painted by a professional San Diego painting company could be the perfect solution.
One of the paint products that we regularly use for painting kitchen cabinets in San Diego is Benjamin Moore Advance paint. Their Advance line is a waterborne alkyd paint, meaning it looks like an oil-based paint once applied, but is actually water based. With this paint and other products like it, you'll get a great finish that's beautiful and durable. It's also a low VOC paint, which is better for the environment and doesn't give off a strong chemical smell like many of the oil-based paints designed for cabinet painting.
You could hire a San Diego residential painting company and have them use the best, most expensive paint on the market, but if they don't take the time to properly prep your cabinets for painting, you would be wasting your money.
Prepping kitchen cabinets for paint means thoroughly cleaning them, and removing any grease, oil, or other products from their surface. If the cabinets have a glossy surface, it must be sanded down, and then any resulting dust needs to be removed.
Our painters will carefully mask off your cabinets, protecting your floors, walls, countertops, and anything else nearby from overspray. We use an HLVP sprayer for kitchen cabinet painting, which greatly reduces overspray and further protects the things in your home that you don't want painted.
Cabinet painting seems like a job you should be able to do yourself to save some money, but many people underestimate the time it takes and are disappointed with the results of their DIY cabinet painting efforts. Unless you have a quality paint sprayer (and know how to use it), you'll be rolling or brushing paint on your cabinets. This will leave you with brush or roller marks, rather than the smooth finish you probably hoped for.
When you hire a professional San Diego cabinet painter like the ones we have at PaintGreen, you will get a smooth, furniture-like finish on your cabinets. And because they will be properly prepped before they are painted, the paint will also be more durable.
Are you looking for a quote for cabinet painting in San Diego? We'd love to come to your home and give you a free estimate. Contact us today to set up an appointment.

Q: Drop down not working in Top Navigation snippet When I try to add top navigation snippet into my master page, the drop down functionality which works OOTB isn't working. The same you can see in the following screenshots:-
Case 1:-

Case 2 :-

Any Help would be much appreciated as this is stopping me from setting permissions for various pages in my portal for different set of users.

A: I found it how to do this! Actually earlier i were using system theme 'Oslo', so my structured navigation nodes were getting bonded to 'Oslo' i suppose. I had to remove all these nodes after adding my custom master page. Then after adding new Top Navigation snippet, i again added all the nodes again(created) and they started showing up in the dropdown accordingly.

FBI Investigating Florida Congressman Mahoney
Congressman Mahoney/official photo
The tanking economy may not be helpful to Republican candidates. But Democrat Tim Mahoney is learning that a sex scandal and an FBI probe aren't a big plus in the final stretch of a campaign.
By Brian Skoloff
Associated Press Writer
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The FBI is investigating whether Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney broke any laws or misused federal money when he hired a mistress to work in his office, a senior federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
Federal agents also are examining whether a second affair Mahoney was having with a high-level official in his Florida district was behind his decision to push for federal emergency funds for her county, the official said.
The person spoke to The Associated Press only on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation. The person noted investigators would likely need both women's help to pursue the matter. The cases would be hard to prove without them.
Mahoney has called for a House Ethics Committee investigation of his own conduct and said he would be cleared of wrongdoing. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also called for an investigation.

FBI Investigates ACORN And Voter Fraud
Will this scandal impact the election?
By Lara Jakes Jordan
WASHINGTON — The FBI is investigating whether the community activist group ACORN helped foster voter registration fraud around the nation before the presidential election. A senior law enforcement official confirmed the investigation to The Associated Press on Thursday.
A second senior law enforcement official says the FBI was looking at results of recent raids on ACORN offices in several states for any evidence of a coordinated national scam.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Justice Department regulations forbid discussing ongoing investigations particularly so close to an election.

Man Brings Pipe Bomb To Airport In Long Island
There's some things you just don't bring to the airport. A pipe bomb is one them.
By John Valenti
A would-be passenger is in police custody Thursday morning after federal security agents at Long Island MacArthur Airport discovered a suspected "improvised explosive device" — or pipe bomb — in a carry-on bag, officials said.
Transportation Security Administration agents then "pulled the individual's checked bags" and found "M-80 fireworks and ammunition," TSA spokeswoman Lara Uselding told Newsday.
A device that had "wires and possibly looked like a pipe bomb" was found at 7:28 a.m. in a carry-on bag while being X-rayed by TSA agents, Uselding said. An airport source said a knife also was found.
Law enforcement sources said the specific type of device — an incendiary that could be a smoke bomb or pipe bomb — will not be known until it can be defused and examined.
Sen. Stevens Testifies That He Did No Wrong
The Stevens trial has had its fair share of ups and downs for both sides. The outcome looks uncertain. Now Stevens has stepped up to testify on his own behalf. Will it tip the case in his favor? We'll see what the jurors have to say.

By Richard Mauer and Erika Bolstad
Anchorage Daily News
WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Stevens took the stand in his own defense this afternoon, asserting in a dramatic and rapid-fire exchange with his lawyer that he has done no wrong.
"Senator, when you signed those forms, did you believe they were accurate and truthful?" asked his lawyer, Brendan Sullivan.
"Yes sir," Stevens said.
"Did you ever intentionally file false disclosure forms?" his lawyer asked.
"No, I did not," Stevens said.
"Did you ever engage in any scheme to conceal anything from the Senate?" Sullivan asked.
"No sir," Stevens said.
The 84-year-old Alaska Republican is on trial for failing to report more than $250,000 in alleged gifts and services, largely from the oil field service company Veco and its chief executive, his former friend Bill Allen. Most of the gifts are connected to renovations that doubled the size of the Stevenses' home.

The Law Comes Down On Gangs In Santa Barbara
Of all the things that make this area so beautiful, gangs aren't one of them. Law enforcement has come down hard on some gang members in the area.
By Chris Meagher
Santa Barbara Independent
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – A total of 28 Santa Barbara Eastside gang members were indicted by a federal grand jury in Los Angeles last week, including 19 people under the RICO (Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations) Act, originally used to target the Mafia. The racketeering charges are the first ever to be brought on residents of the Central Coast.
Nine of those indicted were arrested Wednesday in an early morning operation involving more than 400 law enforcement officers from 18 local, state, and federal agencies and exclusively targeting the Eastside gang. More than 60 residences were searched this morning, resulting in the arrests. Another 17 defendants charged in the indictments were already in custody on state charges and will be handed over to federal authorities. In addition to the federal defendants, 17 others are expected to be charged in Santa Barbara Superior Court.
The indictment, according to the U.S. attorney, alleges the Eastside gang was responsible for the murders of two rival gang members last year, and also tried to kill six others.
It also indicates members of the gang were hostile to the presence of African-Americans in areas frequented by the gang, and that Eastsiders would attack individuals in their "turf" to control the area. Allegations of conspiracy to commit murder, distribute narcotics, and robbery were all included in the indictment.
The Real "Donnie Brasco" Refuses To Testify In Mob Trial
The Hollywood flavor of this FBI/mob trial in Miami only grew stronger today when the legendary "Donnie Brasco" himself refused to testify.
By David Ovalle
MIAMI — Even in shades and a cap, "Donnie Brasco" would not testify.
Joe Pistone, the ex-FBI agent who used the undercover moniker to infiltrate the New York Mafia in the 1970s, refused to testify Wednesday in defense of another former agent on trial for murder in Miami.
Pistone, whose experiences were made into the 1997 movie Donnie Brasco starring Johnny Depp, declined because a judge refused to bar media cameras from filming him or snapping photos.
Lawyers cited safety — the Mafia still wanted to kill Pistone, whose work as an undercover jewel thief led to the convictions of over 100 Mafia members.
He had offered to testify as an expert on the difficulties of prosecuting the Mafia. On trial: John Connolly, a former FBI agent in Boston, accused of helping orchestrate a murder in Miami in 1982.
Feds Charge Jose Canseco With Illegal Drugs
Former baseball slugger Jose Canseco seems to have a taste for trouble. Here's his latest mess.
Canseco On Letterman/cbs
By Christian Red
Former baseball slugger Jose Canseco was arraigned Tuesday in U.S. District Court in San Diego after being caught trying to smuggle the female fertility drug Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) across the border from Mexico last week.
The self-proclaimed "Godfather of Steroids," who exposed baseball's doping culture with his 2005 book "Juiced," appeared before Hon. Magistrate Judge Ruben B. Brooks and was charged with Introduction into Interstate Commerce of a Misbranded Drug, a misdemeanor.
Canseco's next court date is Nov. 4 at 9 a.m.
According to the criminal complaint, Canseco, a female driver and the female driver's "minor daughter" were stopped by Customs and Border Protection agents after entering California at the San Ysidro checkpoint Thursday. Upon inspection of their 2004 BMW, CBP agents found six vials of HCG and ten syringes in the center armrest compartment.

FBI Says Computer Spying and Theft Of Info Rising
While the traditional ground wars rage on in Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of the world, the cyber war is quietly raging around the world. Are we prepared to fight this one?
By Randall Mikkelsen
WASHINGTON – Computer spying and theft of personal information have risen notably in the past year, costing tens of millions of dollars and threatening U.S. security, the FBI's cyber division head said Wednesday.
FBI Assistant Director Shawn Henry told reporters that organized-crime groups are drawn by the ease of reaching millions of potential victims.
He said as many as two dozen countries have taken an "aggressive interest" in penetrating the networks of U.S. companies and government agencies.
He declined to specify countries, but U.S. intelligence agencies have voiced concern over Russia and China's abilities to electronically spy on the United States and disrupt U.S. computer networks.


Keeping your lawn healthy and green is important to you. You want your lawn to be one of the best in Sauk Rapids, MN. So, when your grass starts to wilt at the first sign of an extended heat wave, or your watering efforts seem to flow right off your lawn and into the road, you know to call the experts at Valley Green.
Your soil may be too compact to absorb water readily, and your lawn may not be able to put down the root system it needs. Lawn aeration is the best method to make your lawn less compact and get the roots the water, oxygen and nutrients they need to grow stronger and more robust!
Lawn aeration removes soil cores from your lawn and deposits them above the thatch layer. As soon as aeration is completed, a lot of good things begin to happen to your lawn! Contact us today to set up an appointment or learn more!
The most immediate benefit is the creation of tiny pockets in your lawn to catch and hold air, water and fertilizer. This is especially important in heavy soils which tend to be compact and shed water.
The next thing you'll notice is the soil cores beginning to dissolve during rainfall and watering. This soil mixes with the thatch layer and helps it decompose, preventing an unhealthy amount of thatch from forming.
Then, because the holes are catching water and fertilizer, the grass' roots begin to grow towards them, getting fuller and thicker on the way. Since there's extra space, the compacted soil of your lawn begins to loosen, which allows more oxygen to reach the roots and permits them to grow deeper without hitting hard soil.
The important final result of all these steps is that the lawn is thicker, greener, has a healthy amount of thatch and holds up to hot and dry weather better than before.
Consider including lawn aeration in your annual lawn care program: it's a wise decision which will continue to pay dividends at the "grassroots" level long after the aerator is gone.
Aeration can be done in the spring or fall, depending on the grass and soil type you have. We recommend aeration during May in the spring – after the first two mowings have taken place – or between August-September in the fall.
We will run our core aerator over your lawn several times, until there are nearly 40 holes per square foot. This might seem like a lot, but it's necessary to improve the soil and lawn. The soil cores can be left where they lay, or partially broken up by raking them into the lawn.
After aeration, it takes about 6 weeks for grass to fill in the holes left behind. To speed up the process, we recommend fertilizing the lawn one week prior to aeration.
At Valley Green, we have the expert knowledge to make your lawn the very best it can be. We'd love to take a look at let you know how we can help your lawn, whether with aeration or another service. Contact us today to set up an appointment!

NFC East Teams
The 2018 Superbowl Champions are within the National Football Conference East division. This makes the East division one of the most interesting in the NFL. We have listed all the teams that are included in the NFC East Division:
Philadelphia Eagles: It was in October 2009 that the Eagles won its 500th game against the Atlanta Falcons. This victory made this NFC team the seventh team in the NFL to achieve this feat. They are also the first team in the NFC East to accomplish such . The Eagles have four league titles to their name. Their most recent title is the most recent win in the Super Bowl LII.
Washington Redskins: The Redskins' last win of the Super Bowl was in 1991. This NFC team has not always had the best times. In 2006 it finished last in the NFC East. The Redskins have also lost against the Seattle Seahawks. It was after this loss that coach Joe Gibbs announced that he was retiring. The Redskins also suffered a devasting blow when Sean Taylor tragically died before a game against the Buffalo Bills.
New York Giants: The Giants are based in New York in East Rutherford. The team has won eight NFL Championships, and this includes four Super Bowl wins. The Giants have also completed 94 seasons in the NFL. In addition to their many achievements, the Giants have won 600 games and appeared in the NFL playoffs more than 30 times. The NFC East division team has also made history, it beat the previously uncontested New England Patriots in 2007.
Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys have seen two significant periods where success was in their midst. The first period was between 1966 and 1985, during this time the NFC East division team won two Super Bowl titles. The Cowboys have also had the second-most Super Bowl appearances in history. The second period of victory was between 1991 and 1996. During this time the Cowboys snatched up five NFC East division titles.
NFC East Betting Odds
The sports betting experts believe that it is unlikely that the Redskins will make the playoffs this year. This is based on the fact that the team has been somewhat inconsistent with making the playoffs. The Giants have been in a slump lately given that they have had several management changes. This is despite them being average in 2018. The Cowboys are looking for a Super Bowl win this year. They haven't had one since 1995. So, we shouldn't discount the NFC East team just yet. It may seem like there are no teams within the NFC division that is strong enough to contend for the Super Bowl title. But no team should be counted out.
