The Real Time Bid Refresh feature is in place in order to deliver the best possible online auction experience by presenting the most up-to-date auction information, including Auction Time Remaining, Bid Count, and Current Bid Amount. When a new bid is placed or an auction goes into Bid Extend, the most recent auction information will automatically be presented on the screen without the need to manually refresh the current browser page.
Real Time Bid Refresh is set to automatically deactivate after 12 minutes of inactivity on a page that presents auction data such as Auction Time Remaining, Bid Count, and Current Bid Amount.

Note: if a user chooses to click "Cancel" when presented with this message, they will NOT be shown the most up-to-date auction data, or any new bid activity placed on the listing by other customers. However, manually refreshing the browser window OR clicking through to a new auction page will cause Real Time Bid Refresh to reactivate automatically.

This week, Ira spoke with Brody Dolyniuk. To listen to the interview click below.
Brody Dolyniuk, performing in "Bronson, Brody and Beatles-A Hard Day's Night of Legendary Music," November 28 and "Totally 80s Symphonic!" December 7 (both at The Smith Center) is a multi-faceted, self-taught musician who began his professional music career playing in piano bars.
A chance meeting with a pair of star-shaped sunglasses led to forming an Elton John tribute band Brody called Yellow Brick Road. Soon YBR began going outside the EJ catalog to perform other classic rock giants such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and more.
After 14 years of solid work, Brody stepped down as front man for YBR to pursue other avenues, namely his role as a vocalist for Windborne Music's touring symphony shows, singing the Music of Queen and The Who. Simultaneously Brody had been developing his own production called Symphonic Rockshow.
Now residing in Southern California, Brody continues to tour, as well as perform as a producer and session musician.
This week, Ira spoke with Jim Warlick. To listen to the interview click below.
Jim Warlick, who has spent a lifetime collecting presidential artifacts, will be opening the "The JFK Exhibition" at the new Tropicana Las Vegas on November 22nd. The exhibition will showcase artifacts from a historic time in 20th century America and feature some of the most iconic memorabilia from the 35th president of the United States, all collected by Warlick.
Warlick grew up in the small town of Morgantown, North Carolina where his interest in politics was spurred on by U.S. Senator Sam Ervin Jr. As a child, Warlick collected political buttons and other memorabilia as a hobby. In 1980, while working on Capitol Hill for North Carolina Congressman Lamar Gudger Jr., Warlick came up with the idea of designing and selling political campaign buttons. Shortly after designing and creating several buttons, he attended the national Democratic convention in New York City and sold them outside his hotel. After realizing he could make a better living selling campaign buttons than working on Capitol Hill, he quit his job and hit the road to start USA Button Poll.
Warlick designed a system so each customer purchase would update a poll that showed which candidate had sold the most buttons. A few years later, several well-known national reporters began asking Warlick for regular updates on which presidential candidates' buttons were selling the most. They realized that the USA Button Poll's sales closely aligned with the popular vote.
In 1989, Warlick opened a kiosk at Union Station to sell political memorabilia. Within a few years, he had opened a total of six stores selling buttons and other presidential memorabilia in Boston, Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. He created an internship program and has since worked with more than 200 political science students, encouraging them to be more involved with politics.
Warlick continued collecting political memorabilia and opened his Presidential Museum in Branson, Missouri in 2002, showcasing a Boeing 707 Air Force Once fuselage, Oval Office, First Ladies' gowns, and more than 500 presidential items. Warlick wanted more people to see his collection, so he took his American Presidential Experience across America, exhibiting at Rockefeller Center in New York and presidential nominating conventions in Denver, Charlotte, and St. Paul.
The exhibition at The New Tropicana Las Vegas, opening November 22, 2014, will feature the largest inventory and most iconic exhibits of his presidential collections, including two JFK limousines and a Boeing 707 Air Force One fuselage outfitted exactly the way it appeared on November 22, 1963. Many other personal items of both John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy will be on display for the first time anywhere in America. Many items were recently acquired from personal collectors and have not been available for viewing.
This week, Ira spoke with Gail Rubin. To listen to the interview click below.
Gail Rubin, CT, The Doyenne of Death®, will be speaking on "Jewish Funeral Traditions on Film," at the Nathan Adelson Hospice – Walter L. Schwartz Center for Compassionate Care on Tuesday, November 18th at 7 p.m. The event is presented by the Jewish Community Center of Southern Nevada. She helps get funeral planning conversations started with a light touch on a serious subject. She hosts the TV/DVD series, A Good Goodbye, as well as a weekly Internet radio program.
As an award-winning speaker, Rubin uses humor and funny films to attract people to a topic many would rather avoid. She also helped pioneer the Death Cafe movement in the United States by hosting the first one west of the Mississippi in Albuquerque, New Mexico in September 2012.
Rubin is a Certified Thanatologist, a designation awarded by the Association for Death Education and Counseling (ADEC). The designation Certified in Thanatology: Death, Dying and Bereavement is a fancy name for a death educator. She has made behind-the-scenes visits to mortuaries and the Office of the Medical Investigator, and takes continuing education courses on funerals, death, grief, and the afterlife.
She is also a Certified Celebrant, a Life Tribute professional personally trained by Doug Manning and Glenda Stansbury of the In-Sight Institute, the leading U.S. organization that trains Celebrants. Gail is also a public relations professional and event planner. Rubin has more than 30 years of experience creating many memorable life cycle events. She is an award-winning speaker with memberships in Toastmasters International and the National Speakers Association New Mexico Chapter.
As the author of "Matchings, Hatchings and Dispatchings," an Albuquerque Tribune column on life cycle events, Rubin found that the columns on death elicited the greatest reader response, indicating a pressing need for information on the topic. She started The Family Plot Blog, a chipper online resource to provide the information, inspiration and tools to pre-plan a healing and meaningful funeral or memorial service.
Her award-winning book, A Good Goodbye: Funeral Planning for Those Who Don't Plan to Die, provides everything you never knew you needed to know about funeral planning and brings light to a dark subject. The book was awarded Best of Show in the 2011 New Mexico Book Awards and was a finalist in the Family & Relationships category of the 2010 Book of the Year Award from ForeWord Reviews.
This week, Ira spoke with Steve March-Tormé. To listen to the interview click below.
Steve March-Tormé will be performing in "An Evening With The Next Generation" on Saturday, November 8th at the M Resort. The next generation includes, in addition to Steve (who is the son of Mel Torme): Ricci Martin, Son of Dean Martin; Lorna Luft, daughter of Judy Garland; and Lena Prima, daughter of Louis Prima. The Master of Ceremonies is Anthony Lewis, son of Jerry Lewis.
March-Tormé was born in New York City to the multi-talented Mel Tormé and the former model, Candy Tockstein. They were divorced when Steve was two and a half years old. Shortly thereafter, Candy married the actor/comedian Hal March, who was the host of NBC-TV's The $64,000 Question Show and subsequently starred in Neil Simon's Come Blow Your Horn on Broadway.
An avid baseball player and fan growing up in Westchester County, N.Y., March-Tormé dreamed of playing for the Yankees. While listening to games on the radio in the basement of their home, he discovered his love for music almost by accident. Following every game, he'd switch to the Top 40 music stations and find himself singing along with such artists as The Four Seasons, Nat King Cole, The Temptations, Ricky Nelson and Gene Pitney. With his natural ear for harmonies, his favorites quickly became and remain The Beatles. By the age of 12, he knew that he wanted to be a performer and at 13, he earned his first paycheck, fronting his own band. After his family moved to Beverly Hills, he formed friendships with other second generation "show biz kids" like Desi Arnaz Jr., Dean Martin Jr., Miguel Ferrer, Carrie Fisher and Liza Minnelli while attending high school. During this time, he continued to develop as a musician and his influences grew to include Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Todd Rundgren and Steely Dan.
Following the early death of his stepfather, March-Tormé rekindled his relationship with his father Mel, and soon realized they had a great deal in common besides a love for performing and various types of music. They also shared an avid interest in vintage planes, trains and automobiles.
In the late 1970's, March-Tormé recorded his first LP, Lucky, for United Artists Records, supporting it with a very well received 20 city, national concert tour. Upon returning to California, he produced and sang on Liza Minnelli's Columbia Records release Tropical Nights, which became a favorite of the New York dance clubs.
Since then, March-Tormé has wooed audiences in every venue from intimate jazz clubs to Performing Arts Centers to festivals worldwide (Australia, England, Japan, Canada, Brazil, to name a few).

AS the world expresses outrage at the German contribution to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's war machine, the government here is again set to strengthen export control laws. There is also a growing interest among government officials and lawmakers in Bonn to push for uniform, European Community-wide controls on illegal weapons exports. It is of little use having strict laws in Germany, they argue, if German exports find their way into regions of tension via other countries in the EC.
German economics minister J"urgen M"ollemann laid out a series of proposals last week to strengthen export control laws. He also announced that Germany had investigated a list of about 110 companies that may have broken the United Nations trade embargo against Iraq.
Of the total, he said, nine warranted further investigation and would probably go to court. Reportedly, one of the nine companies helped with the development of biological weapons and one helped increase the range of Iraq's Soviet-made Scud missiles. The list was supplied by the United States and Britain.
The proposals for stepped up controls include stiffer punishment for violators of the trade embargo against Iraq and for violators of the export laws in general. The reach of the legal net would be enlarged so that any involvement with illegal weapons projects would fall under the law even if the particular product exported was not on the list of forbidden exports.
Mr. M"ollemann also wants again to increase the number of people who review export licenses. As of April, Germany's customs offices will be linked by a computer network that can more quickly identify and trace potentially illegal exports.
Since the start of 1989, when German companies were found to have helped build a poison gas plant in Libya, Germany has strengthened export laws five times. The Germans say they have some of the strictest laws against arms exports in the world.
``On paper, they are one of the best,'' agrees a Western diplomat here who has been closely following the issue.
Since Rabta, the Germans have taken the illegal weapons exports issue much more seriously, the diplomat adds. And since Aug. 2, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, ``I am flabbergasted at how good and quick they've become'' at investigating cases.
However, the diplomat says, ``the question always is how well they carry out'' the laws.
``I share this outrage, the bitterness over this, and in my eyes Germans committed a severe crime in helping produce Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons,'' Foreign Minister Hans Dietrich Genscher said in an interview after his return from Israel.
Even if the six cases related to the Iraqi gas plants make it to court, the new, stiffer laws and penalties won't apply to them because the alleged violations predate the new laws, says Georg Nauth, spokesman for the Darmstadt prosecution.
The Germans give several reasons why, despite new countermeasures, their export controls are not air-tight. False export declarations, the export of dual-use products and parts, and export through third countries are all circumstances which customs officials can't control, says Mr. Nauth.
The Germans also say they aren't the only contributors to Iraq's military strength. France, for instance, supplied Mirage fighter jets and Exocet missiles.
Momentum is growing in the German government for EC-wide regulations to curb the illegal arms trade. Several other ideas are also circulating. The opposition Social Democrats suggest that German arms exports be limited to NATO countries. There is also cross-party support for adapting a list of banned exports by the Coordinating Committee on Export Controls to cover the Middle East. The committee was established in the West to target high technology being shipped illegally to Eastern Europe.

Q: Can an unavailable datasource take down a ColdFusion 9 server? Is it possible that a database (connected to ColdFusion 9 via a datasource connection) being unavailable could cause ColdFusion to become unresponsive? (The database is used for a singular one-off lightly-trafficked app.)
Recently, maintenance on a connected Oracle database (oracle jdbc) has caused that database to be unavailable two different times. Coincidentally, at both these times, ColdFusion pages on our site became unavailable or terribly slow to load (static HTML pages seemed to load fine, for the most part).  Restarting the ColdFusion application server service would fix the problem, but only for minutes.  The first time, during a time the application server was responsive, we unchecked the "Maintain connections" checkbox.  I'm not sure this had any effect, then shortly after the Oracle database came back online, and we didn't seem to have the problem any more.
The second time that database was offline, we experienced a very similar issue with our website - ColdFusion pages becoming reaaaally slow or unavailable altogether.  During one of the times when I could access the CF administrator, I updated the datasource and checked "Disable connections".  Then I stopped and restarted both the CF ODBC agent and ODBC server services.  After that, the problem seemed to stop, but I don't know enough to know if this is causation or coincidence.
Anyone have insights on this?
Server setup: Windows Server 2003 SP2, ColdFusion 9, IIS 6

A: There are a number of ways to slow a database to a crawl if not stop it completely.  If you have hackers for example attacking your database through Port 1433 with attempted logins several times a second that can slow it down and if they get in they can of course do whatever they want.  When this happened to me I found a record of attacks in the Event logs; the solution is better network security intercepting such attacks and never letting them actually talk to the database.  Or say if your site is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks hackers could be messing with your database that way too but network security wouldn't necessarily work in that case.  It doesn't require hackers to degrade the performance of your database however, you could be having a problem with allocated disk space for transaction logs or indexes filling up, or heaven forbid an imminent hardware failure showing early symptoms.  You're backing up your database often I hope, off the server.  To answer your question yes ColdFusion can and will become unresponsive when pages are called that call the database, and will usually display error messages when the database finally times out and never sends the requested data to ColdFusion.  You can protect against that to some extent with CFTRY tags around your queries that display clean and polite error messages instead of ColdFusion's ugly ones if the database fails to return data, at least your site continues to look professional that way.  One project I worked used a shared SQL Server database that often got overloaded and slowed down terribly and there was nothing I could do about improving that situation.  What I did to keep the site functioning was to maintain a DB backup in the form of a MS Access database (yeah it was inappropriate but it worked when SQL Server wouldn't) and anytime SQL Server failed I had the application set up to automatically use code that called the Access database instead.
These are some ideas for you to think about if you are continuing to have problems, I see nobody's even tried to answer your question in the last six months and that's kinda been my experience with the quality of assistance this site has offered me too.  I hope my thoughts can be of some use to you.

What is Watch D.O.G.S.?
Watch D.O.G.S. ® (Dads Of Great Students) is an innovative father involvement, educational initiative of the National Center For Fathering. It began in 1998 in a single school in Springdale, Arkansas and has since grown into a nationally recognized program that has brought hundreds of thousands of fathers and father figures into our nation's classrooms and hallways. Watch D.O.G.S. ® has created millions of "in school" volunteer hours and continues to have a tremendously positive impact on the educational process. Today more than 5,348 schools in 47 states plus DC participate in Watch D.O.G.S. Currently, there are WATCH D.O.G.S. programs in China, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Barbados. En Español
What's Involved? Getting Started FAQs About D.O.G.S.
Spend a day at school, a morning or afternoon, or even just a lunch and recess time. You decide how many days you can commit to and which days work best for you.
Wear the WatchDOGS uniform "T-shirt", visit the classroom, help out in the library, monitor lunch and recess, offer help in the office, work on a project, help with Passport Check Day... There are lots of opportunities to help out at school.
Getting Started - 3 Easy Steps
Contact Puesta del Sol's WatchDOGS coordinator, Tyler Parris, at watchdogs@puestadelsolpta.org.
NEW PROCESS! All volunteers must be approved by the Bellevue School District. REGISTER AS A VOLUNTEER with the Bellevue School District.
Check out our resources page for information on what to do when you arrive at school the first time.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
I can't come every month. Is that okay?
WatchDOGS can volunteer as often or as little as they like, from a half-day to a full-day once a week, once a month or once a school year, we just want dads at school.
I heard that I can't volunteer in the classroom because I don't speak Spanish. What's the deal?
While participation in the classroom is more challenging in a school with a Spanish Immersion Program, the greatest success for helping in a student's classroom comes from contacting the student's teacher 2-3 weeks prior to the volunteer day. This gives the teacher ample time to fit you into the class schedule. Please consider too that there are so many other ways to help...see below.
Should I turn my cellular phone off? Can I check email while I'm volunteering at the school?
Cellular phones, tablets, and other every other form of electronic leash can cause a disruption in class as well as taking your attention away from the students. Don't worry you will have several opportunities to check your voicemail and messages throughout the day.
Why do I need to wear a WatchDOG T-shirt?
WatchDOGS wear the official T-shirts for two reasons. First, this apparel separates us from other visitors who may be in the school. Second, to the children, staff, and other parents it establishes you as an official overseeing the children.
What should I expect when I am a WatchDOG?
The Puesta del Sol Students and Staff will be welcoming and excited to see you. At the WatchDOGS station in the back resource room behind the front desk, you will find WatchDOGS uniforms (T-shirts) and name tags (DOG Tag) in the white plastic, three-drawer WatchDOGS cabinet. Also in this WatchDOG area you will find postings of class schedules to help you keep busy and on track. You can leave any backpack, lunch bag, coat, etc. at the WatchDOG cabinet throughout the day (there are coat hooks in this area for your use). Regarding lunch, you may find that it is best to bring a lunch to have with your student(s) in the lunch room. Alternatively, you may purchase a school lunch, in which case you will need to remember to bring a few dollars to school. At the end of the day, please return your used WatchDOG T-shirt to the bottom drawer of the WatchDOG cabinet.
Here's a list with more about your role, including some Dos and Don'ts.
Here's a typical daily schedule of a WatchDOG.

Hawaii Land Use Law and Policy
Exploring the Intersection of Land Use Law, Policy, and Practice in Hawaii
Public Use Asserted in Condemnation May Meet Initial Judicial Muster but Courts Must Also Consider Pretext Defense
On Christmas Eve, the Hawaii Supreme Court ("HSCT") issued an opinion in County of Hawaii v. C&J Coupe Family Limited Partnership, Haw. S. Ct. No. 28822, Dec. 24, 2008 involving a condemnation action related to the infamous Hokulia subdivision by 1250 Oceanside Partners.
This case involves two condemnation actions related to the Hokulia project. The project is located on a 1550-acre parcel extending from the ocean toward the Mamalahoa Highway on the Island of Hawaii. See LUC Petition No. A06-769 1250 Oceanside Partners for a complete project description and maps.
C&J Coupe Family Limited Partnership's ("Coupe Family") property is contiguous to the southern border of Hokulia. In order to build the project, the property needed to be rezoned. The Hawaii County Council rezoned the land and as a condition of rezoning, Oceanside agreed to construct a Bypass so that the project could be accessed from Mamalahoa Highway.
The agreement between the County and Oceanside was that Oceanside was responsible for acquiring the property necessary for the Bypass and for the cost of constructing the Bypass, the County would use its eminent domain power in connection with the construction of the Bypass, and once built, the County would assume all responsibility and costs for operation, maintenance, repair, or reconstruction of the Bypass.
Condemnation 1: After negotiations for acquisition of a portion of the Coupe Family property failed, Oceanside sent a letter to the County requesting that it exercise its power of eminent domain on May 23, 2000. On July 26, 2000, the Council adopted a resolution finding it necessary for the County to initiate eminent domain proceedings against the Coupe Family land to acquire the right-of-way for the Bypass. Condemnation 1 sought only 2.9 acres of Appellant's property—the final subdivision approval indicated that 3.348 acres of Appellant's property would be needed for the Bypass. The ultimate result of Condemnation 1 was a court order which stated that "[t]he Condemnation is invalid. Judgment is hereby ordered to be entered in favor of [the Coupe Family] and against [the County] . . . ."
Condemnation 2: During the pendency of Condemnation 1, the County initiated procedures to condemn the Coupe Family's property, on January 23, 2003. The Council adopted another resolution, this time for approximately 3.348 acres of the Coupe Family's land and for the state purpose of providing "a regional benefit for the public purpose and use which will benefit the County." Condemnation 2 was granted in favor of the County.
Questions on Appeal.
On appeal, the Coupe Family brought the following questions:
May [the County] forever avoid its obligation under [HRS] § 101-27 to pay damages for discontinued or failed takings by instituting serial condemnation actions?
Is an eminent domain action abated—and the circuit court deprived of subject matter jurisdiction—when the court is already considering another, earlier-filed eminent domain action, instituted by the same plaintiff, in the same court, against the same defendants, for the same relief?
Does a circuit court have any duty under the [United States] and Hawaii Constitutions to examine the record to determine whether the government's proffered public purpose supporting a taking is a pretext hiding a predominantly private benefit, or may it simply take the government's word?
Holdings.
First, the issue of whether the Coupe Family is entitled to statutory damages under HRS § 101-27 turns upon whether the property in question "was finally taken" under that statute. I previewed this issue in Should the Government Pay a Landowner for Its Failed Attempt to Condemn a Landowner's Property? Under the statute, finally taken means that a condemnation is either "abandoned", "discontinued," or "the property concerned [was] not finally taken for public use[.]" Based on its reading of HRS § 101-27, the HSCT held that "the property concerned [was] not finally taken for public use" in Condemnation 1, because the circuit court ordered that the Condemnation was invalid. That the property was eventually condemned after the County prevailed in Condemnation 2 was of no import to the HSCT—the court looked at Condemnation 1 and Condemnation 2 as separate actions for purposes of HRS § 101-27. This question was remanded to the circuit court for a calculation of damages in Condemnation 1.
Second, abatement is "[t]he suspension or defeat of a pending action for a reason unrelated to the merits of the claim[.]" In this case, Condemnation 2 was started while Condemnation 1 was still being considered by the circuit court. The HSCT held that the Coupe Family's contention that abatement necessarily implicates a court's subject matter jurisdiction over a case is not correct; rather, "abatement is a remedy for a variety of defects, including lack of subject matter jurisdiction." After reviewing case law from several jurisdictions, the HSCT held that "the pendency of Condemnation 1 did not deprive the court of subject matter jurisdiction over Condemnation 2[.]"
Third, constitution (U.S. and Hawaii) requires that eminent domain powers can only be used for a "public use." The Coupe Family argued that "that the asserted public use was a pretext . . . to hide the predominantly private benefit of the [Bypass] to Oceanside[.]" The HSCT noted that the Supreme Court's decision in Kelo v. City of New London, Conn., 545 U.S. 469 (2005) is consistent with prior state decisions which "allows courts to look behind an eminent domain plaintiff's asserted public purpose under certain circumstances." Furthermore, HSCT cited Kelo for the premise that just because a public purpose may exist on its face, the government may not "condemn private property for the sole purpose of transferring title to a different private owner." This would be a proper use of eminent domain powers on the pretext of improperly transferring private property for another's private benefit. In this case, the HSCT held that on its face, the Bypass condemnation resolution asserted a public purpose; however, the circuit court must expressly consider the question of whether the County's asserted public purpose underlying Condemnation 2 was pretextual.

Home/Dodgers History
Creating the Los Angeles Dodgers 2010s all-decade offense
By Jack Trent Dorfman
LOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 13: (L-R) Andre Ethier #16, Clayton Kershaw #22 and Matt Kemp #27 of the Los Angeles Dodgers pose with their 2011 Golden Gloves before the game against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium on April 13, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images) /
WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 07: Justin Turner #10 of the Los Angeles Dodgers rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run in the first inning of game four of the National League Division Series against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park on October 07, 2019 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images) /
The All-Decade Offense- The Infield
The infield houses some of the most interesting Dodgers of the decade, with some of the most frustrating and most fun players around.
Catcher, Yasmani Grandal– Even if he struggled enough to let Austin Barnes usurp him in the postseason during both World Series runs, his offense really did balance the Dodgers lineup for four years out of ten. He put up two 4-WAR seasons and two 5-WAR seasons thanks to his massive power from the left side.
Honorable Mention- Russell Martin (played in 2010 and 2019, book ending the decade at catcher)
More from Dodgers Way
Dodgers' rumored contract for Aaron Judge definitely isn't true
4 free agents Dodgers fans better hope don't land in the NL West
Dodgers must do better than Kevin Kiermaier in center field search
3 teams that could lure Justin Turner away from Dodgers
Andrew Friedman's response to Cody Bellinger non-tender provides nothing for Dodgers fans
First Base- Adrian Gonzalez– I love Max Muncy, but his two seasons in Dodger blue don't encapsulate as much of the decade as Gonzalez's five-season run from 2012 to 2017. He perfectly encapsulated the decade; he was brought in by the Guggenheim group to rebuild the franchise and he was usurped by the youth movement and Cody Bellinger before he could play in the World Series for the Dodgers.
Honorable Mention- Max Muncy (has the two biggest WAR seasons for a Dodger 1B on the decade)
Second Base- Dee Gordon– Another largely important home grown Dodger, Gordon provided the Dodgers a lead-off man with 60+ steal potential (which he reached in 2014 with 64 steals). After struggling at short stop, he Flash Gordon transitioned to second base and thrived, through Friedman and the front office sold high on him and shipped him off to Miami as part of a three-team deal that netted the Dodgers Howie Kendrick.
Honorable Mention- Chase Utely (simply because he's the Silver Fox)
Shortstop- Corey Seager– He helped the Dodgers reach their first World Series berth of the decade in 2017 and he won the Rookie of the Year award in 2016. Another home grown stud, Seager is another player poised to have a bigger 2020s decade than 2010s decade, he'll just need to continue to improve.
Honorable Mention- Hanley Ramirez was amazing in the postseason for the Dodgers, and he helped bring a fun edge to the team, especially during his 86 game outburst in which he smacked 20 home runs in 2013. But his stay was short-lived and shortened by injuries, and he really was a third baseman for the Dodgers for all intents and purposes.
Third Base- Justin Turner– Easy choice for me, quite possibly the easiest on the offensive list outside of Kemp. Turner dominated the 2010s once he joined the Dodgers, stabilizing the playoff lineup and dominating in October to help the team reach a pair of World Series. RedTurn2 epitomized the Dodgers rise to the upper echelon of the sport, as he was a low-cost reclamation project turned superstar. Though he's unlikely to dominate in the 2020s, he led the team in WAR (25.2) for the decade, making him quite possibly the decade MVP for the team.
Honorable Mention- Juan Uribe (almost entirely because of his monstrous homer in the NLDS that sent the Dodgers on to the NLCS in 2013, which I saw live from the left field pavilion)
dark. Next. What if the Dodgers dealt their big lefty?
In the next set of the All-Decade team, I'll get into the best of the bullpen and starting rotation, and don't worry, Jonathan Broxton will be mentioned.

Q: How do I convert this hash to an array of hashes? I have this hash below called disciplines:
disciplines = {"Architecture"=>"architecture", "Auditing"=>"auditing", "Consulting"=>"consulting", "Delivery"=>"delivery", "Development"=>"development", "Engineering"=>"engineering", "Environment / IT"=>"environment", "Graphic Design"=>"graphic_design", "Management"=>"management", "Requirements"=>"requirements", "Research"=>"research", "Support"=>"support", "System Design"=>"system_design", "Test & Eval"=>"test_and_evaluation", "Writing"=>"writing"}

And I want to convert it into an array of hashes that looks like this:
[{"name"=>"Architecture", "value"=>"architecture"}, {"name"=>"Auditing", "value"=>"auditing"}, {"name"=>"Consulting", "value"=>"consulting"}, {"name"=>"Delivery", "value"=>"delivery"}, {"name"=>"Development", "value"=>"development"}, {"name"=>"Engineering", "value"=>"engineering"}, {"name"=>"Environment / IT", "value"=>"environment"}, {"name"=>"Graphic Design", "value"=>"graphic_design"}, {"name"=>"Management", "value"=>"management"}, {"name"=>"Requirements", "value"=>"requirements"}, {"name"=>"Research", "value"=>"research"}, {"name"=>"Support", "value"=>"support"}, {"name"=>"System Design", "value"=>"system_design"}, {"name"=>"Test & Eval", "value"=>"test_and_evaluation"}, {"name"=>"Writing", "value"=>"writing"}]

So I just want to take each key-value pair in the first hash and map it to a new hash where the key is now a value for name and the value is now a value for value and put them all in an array of hashes

A: You can simply do:
disciplines.map{ |k, v| { 'name' => k, 'value' => v } }

to achieve that.
Here's a demo: http://ideone.com/DBU3Ck

A: You can also do in this way:
array_of_hashes = disciplines.keys.inject([]) do |arr_of_hsh, item|
      arr_of_hsh << ({name: item.downcase,value: item.capitalize})
    end

Output will be look like this:
# array_of_hashes => [{:name=>"architecture", :value=>"Architecture"}, {:name=>"auditing", :value=>"Auditing"}, {:name=>"consulting", :value=>"Consulting"}, {:name=>"delivery", :value=>"Delivery"}, {:name=>"development", :value=>"Development"}, {:name=>"engineering", :value=>"Engineering"}, {:name=>"environment / it", :value=>"Environment / it"}, {:name=>"graphic design", :value=>"Graphic design"}, {:name=>"management", :value=>"Management"}, {:name=>"requirements", :value=>"Requirements"}, {:name=>"research", :value=>"Research"}, {:name=>"support", :value=>"Support"}, {:name=>"system design", :value=>"System design"}, {:name=>"test & eval", :value=>"Test & eval"}, {:name=>"writing", :value=>"Writing"}]

Well we've passed another week here in the land of blog and what an action packed one it's been. The Weekend Challenge is coming up and I'm really looking forward to reading the submissions of all those who wish to participate. Remember to include the URL from the Weekend Funny Challenge to create a ping-back when you write your post. Last weekend was a little more fraught than usual, what with the whole Cyclone dilemma and my desperate attempts not to retreat under the bed to safety. As a result I'm hoping this weekend can be more fun than fraught.
So come on, fess up, what makes you laugh, giggle, chortle or snort with glee. Hmmm, really I want to know and it will be fun after all laughter isn't a sin [or is it] and on that note let me get the ball rolling with this weekends first funny.

Hyundai teams with Toyota to push hydrogen tech for Oz by 2018
By Ryan Lewis, 02 Aug 2016 News
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are 'the ultimate goal' according to Hyundai
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are 'the ultimate goal' according to Hyundai.
Australia's two most popular car brands have joined forces in an effort to jump start the rollout of hydrogen infrastructure in Australia, as well as a renewed push for government incentives for environmentally friendly vehicles.
Collaboration between Hyundai and Toyota has strengthened in recent weeks following the local delivery of three Toyota Mirai fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and a mobile hydrogen refuelling station arriving later in the year.
"We had the enemy in our building this week," joked Hyundai spokesman Bill Thomas.
"Government can't be seen to show any sort of favour to a single manufacturer, so it's important we make a unified representation together."
Hyundai Australia has its own Fuel Cell Program Leader named Scott Nargar, who represents the company's enthusiastic stance on the future of hydrogen FCVs in Oz.
"From a car manufacturer point of view we see hydrogen fuel cell as the ultimate goal – the range, the practicality, the refuelling time – we're all used to going to a petrol station, filling up in three minutes then driving away and doing 600kms. Fuel cell gives you the best comparison to petrol."
Nargar says working with Toyota is critical to getting widespread recognition for hydrogen as a viable alternative to fossil fuels.
"We have been talking for well over a year about the market, where we need to head and who we need to engage with," he said.
"We're working very closely at local government level, state and federal government level.
"The industry is preparing for what needs to happen in the future and it's all based around the vehicle emission regulation and what the government announces."
Hyundai introduced its first FCV to Australia on 30th June 2014, a left-hand drive ix35 engineering demonstrator. A single hydrogen fuel station at the Hyundai headquarters in Macquarie Park, NSW, was commissioned in December 2014.
"It's been pretty tough having only one vehicle here, but now Toyota has arrived with their three vehicles in right-hand drive. It's a great thing and we welcome it," says Nargar.
"We can't wait to see the Toyota refueller here. It's available to us, so we're able to get our cars and their cars around Australia."
Toyota will be dipping its toes in the water over the next three years with its small fleet of Mirai FCVs.
"We are extremely interested in fuel cell technology, but we need the relevant infrastructure in place before we can sell these vehicles in Australia," said local Toyota boss Dave Buttner.
"Fuel cell technology is expected to play a key role in the future and we do not want Australians to miss out on this."
Hyundai and Toyota regularly top the list of best-selling cars Down Under though it seems the rivalry has taken a backseat where hydrogen is concerned.
"I don't care who is first – whether it be Hyundai or Toyota or Honda or one of the German guys – as long as we can reassure the market and investors that we need to put the money in," says Nargar.
"We're a car company, we don't want to own hydrogen filling infrastructure. That's why we're talking with people like Caltex with 1200 sites across Australia.
"We're about ten years behind Europe and North America. If we don't start deciding where the first stations are going to be we're going to be twenty years behind."
Industry circles sometimes joke that hydrogen is the fuel of the future… and always will be. It's a cynical view of the current state of play where hydrogen has failed to break into the mainstream for decades. Nargar says constant technological improvements have us closer than ever to the tipping point.
"We're working on the next generation [FCV], which is due sometime in 2018. I shared with the companies we discussed with and also the government that as of this date in 2018 I need stations operational because there'll be volumes of vehicles here that I need to get fuelled up.
"We're excited about what that'll be. It'll be a right hand drive vehicle and it'll be an SUV platform again. I have seen it, and I'm really happy. It's not a standard-looking ix35 or Santa Fe, it's a standalone chassis within its own unique design. It's a very premium and prestigious-looking design."
Doubters may accuse Hyundai of putting the cart before the horse, though the company itself is stanchly confident.
"I've got no fear we'll have the customers ready to roll when these vehicles arrive," says Nargar.
The current Hyundai ix35 FCV has a range of 594km, and takes between three and seven minutes to refill depending on the pre-cooling available at the filling station.
The average cost of hydrogen at stations in Europe is about AU$15 per kilo, but can drop as low as AU$9-10 per kilo where there is competition between stations. A full tank of hydrogen in the ix35 is 5.4kg – roughly AU$48-$81.
"The benefit of hydrogen is we don't have to make it at a refinery and transport it. You can plug in green power whether that be off the grid or solar panels, then plug in water and you'll make hydrogen on site. And that's the thing that's going to drive down the costs.
"There are some really switched on companies in Australia looking at distributed refuelling. Why can't we be refuelling cars at home, or at our local shopping centres or schools? Or having a refueller setup at apartment blocks? We'll support any of that."

What: This week-long project culminated in a beautiful new arts and crafts room for the Boys & Girls Club of South Oak Cliff in Dallas. The scope of the project included demolition of interiors and cabinetry, installation of new lighting and flooring, repair of plumbing, installation of new cabinets and paint. The team also provided new tables and chairs and loaded the cabinets with new art supplies.
More than half of the DPR Dallas team put volunteer time in to the project, along with several subcontractors and vendors.
At the end of the day, 110 club members filed in for their first creative session in the new space, and they did exactly what the team had hoped: said "wow," then sat down, put crayons to paper, and created some amazing pumpkin cut-out art.

Code Vein trailer introduces Jack Rutherford
ON Jul 11, 2019 @ 7:25AM
Bandai Namco has shared a new character trailer for upcoming action RPG Code Vein that introduces us to the Revenant faction's leader.
According to the developer, Jack Rutherford will "become an invaluable partner in the battles to come" and is feared by both enemies and allies alike. Rutherford, also known as the "Revenant Hunter," has a deep connection with the game's protagonist.
Earlier this week, Bandai Namco released two more trailers for the game that showed off the opening cinematic and detailed the great sword weapon type.
Code Vein will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC from September 27th, 2019.
Meet Jack Rutherford, the leader of the Revenant faction, in this latest Code Vein trailer.


Sleep went well. So this is not the problem.
There's a lot of empty space around me. Distance to others seems unlimited.
What used to be sturdy ropes bridging each other now look like delicate threads, close to rupture.
My head is heavy. Loneliness at its peak.
This is a warning. The connection to myself has been lost.

iOS 13 gets faster app downloads, better Apple Maps and a Dark Mode
Raft of new features incoming for the latest operating system
WWDC19
June 3rd, 2019 - 09:22pm
By Craig Chapple, Senior Editor
Apple's new iOS 13 will make apps quicker to download and launch thanks to a new way iPhone apps are packaged on the App Store.
Previewing the operating system at the Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple said app download sizes would be reduced by up to 50 per cent, while app updates would be over 60 per cent smaller.
It also claimed that apps will now launch up to twice as fast as previously.
Elsewhere, Apple has made enhancements to Apple Maps. According to a press release, Apple has driven four million miles to rebuild its base map from the ground up as it looks to better compete with Google.
This means Apple Maps now has broader road coverage than before and can more precisely pinpoint locations. The map itself will also include more details than before.
The updated Apple Maps is already available in select cities and states and will roll out across the US by the end of 2019. It will be launched in more countries in 2020.
With iOS 13, new features will include the ability to share favourite restaurants, travel destinations and places to shop with friends, and the ability to quickly navigate frequently visited destinations.
Keeping up with the times, Apple has also unveiled a new Dark Mode feature for iOS 13. It's available to third-party app developers to integrate into their own apps and can also be timed to turn on automatically at certain times of the day.
Another new feature with iOS 13 is the introduction of 'Sign in With Apple'. The idea is to let users to quickly but more privately sign into apps and websites. Apple stressed it "does not use Sign In with Apple to profile users or their activity in apps".
You can read about all the key new features coming to iOS 13 here.
A developer preview of iOS 13 is available to Apple Developer Program members starting today. A public beta program will roll out to iOS users later this month.
You can check out more of our coverage from WWDC here.

With just three weeks until the launch of Strange Brigade, we're excited to lift the sarcophagus lid on two very exciting surprises: Score Attack and Horde Mode!
These two modes – playable in single-player or two-four player – will be available FREE at launch, and we're delighted to confirm that both will receive free content updates post-launch!
Score Attack is a fast-paced mode, all about cutting through large numbers of enemies with as much speed and style as you can, in an attempt to keep that combo-multiplier as high as possible! As you might expect, this ticks up as you take down your enemies in quick succession, but will deplete should you take too long to score a kill!
As well as this, there are also big bonus points up for grabs – such as not taking any damage, racking up the headshots, and other devilish challenges to keep you coming back for more.
We cannot wait for you try Score Attack – it's a fast-paced challenge with plenty of opportunities to show off your skills!
HORDE MODE, WITH A 'STRANGE' TWIST!
Horde Mode may seem familiar at first, but the crack team at Rebellion worked their magic to take some of the core gameplay mechanics and reinterpret them in to a fresh new mode!
Similar to spending gold in the campaign to unlock new weapons, special weapons and more, in Horde Mode you accumulate gold by killing enemies – but how do you spend it? Do you splash the cash on the Flamethrower, knowing once it runs out of gas it's done, or do you save your gold to open up new parts of the level to potentially unlock more goodies like health potions or loot?
Well there we go, keen adventurers. We're thrilled to be able to finally reveal this and we can't wait for you to get playing! Check out the brand new screenshots below to get your first taste of Score Attack and Horde mode!
Which mode are you most excited for? Come and join the conversation on Twitter and Facebook - and don't forget to sign up to the newsletter to be in with a chance of winning a copy of the game!


Internet safety and cyber bullying are being brought into the spotlight for youngsters as an educational theatre show has reached more than 1,300 pupils in the Derbyshire Dales.
The 'Escape' play and interactive workshop by the Saltmine Theatre Company has been funded by Derbyshire Constabulary and Derbyshire Dales District Council to help get the message to youngsters at 23 primary schools about how to stay safe online and the dangers of sharing personal information and photos.
It is supported by The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) and aims to teach the rules of the internet in a fun and accessible way to children, covering topics including cyber bullying, the dangers of talking to strangers on the internet and taking care of your personal details.
The story is about Sarah Thompson, a girl who lives on the edge of an enchanted forest. On her eleventh birthday she is allowed to enter for the first time on her own but has to follow three rules to keep her safe and away from the dangerous wolves.
Each performance is targeted to eight to 11 year old pupils, is followed up by an educational workshop, where the children are encouraged to discuss the key messages behind the play, and it has already been performed to pupils in other parts of the county.
Parents also receive a cyber safety leaflet which reinforces the key internet safety messages of 'Escape' and provides useful information they can share and discuss with their child to encourage them to stay safe online.
If you ever feel worried or scared, call for an adult that you trust.
"The internet and social media is now a big part of our daily lives, and children are embracing new technologies at a much earlier age. This has many benefits but it is also important to ensure youngsters know how to stay safe whilst online.
If you have any concerns about your child please contact The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP). CEOP is part of the National Crime Agency and can investigate what is happening with the assurance that the safety and wellbeing of your child is paramount at all times. For more information visit www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre or www.thinkuknow.co.uk.

Donald Herbert Davidson (Springfield, Massachusetts, 6 de marzo, 1917 - Berkeley, California, 30 de agosto de 2003) fue un filósofo estadounidense de orientación analítica. Fue conocido por su carismática personalidad, así como por la profundidad y dificultad de su pensamiento.

A partir de la década de 1960, su figura se hizo prominente en la comunidad filosófica analítica, debido, sobre todo, a sus contribuciones en los campos de la semántica, la teoría de la acción y la epistemología. En el epígrafe de Inquiries into Truth and Interpretation, volumen recopilatorio de sus artículos más importantes en filosofía del lenguaje, Davidson reconoce su deuda intelectual con W. V. Quine, a cuyo nombre también podría sumarse los de Alfred Tarski, C. I. Lewis, F. P. Ramsey y Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Biografía
Davidson cursó los estudios de pregrado y maestría en la Universidad de Harvard, obteniendo en 1941 el grado de magíster en filosofía clásica. En el periodo de 1942 a 1945, participó en la Segunda Guerra Mundial como miembro de la Armada Estadounidense en el Mar Mediterráneo. En 1949 obtuvo el grado de doctor en la misma universidad con una tesis sobre el Filebo de Platón. De 1951 a 1967, durante dieciséis años, trabajó en la Universidad de Stanford. Luego, se desempeñó como catedrático en la Universidad de Princeton (1967-1970), la Universidad Rockefeller (1970-1976) y la Universidad de Chicago (1976-1981). De 1981 hasta su muerte en el año 2003 trabajó en la Universidad de California con sede en Berkeley.

Falleció en 2003 a consecuencia de un paro cardíaco repentino, después de una cirugía de rodilla.

Davidson ha sido un pensador muy influyente y ha sido reconocido como influencia a las ideas de John McDowell.

Críticas
El filósofo esloveno Slavoj Žižek ha criticado la idea, desarrollada ampliamente por Davidson en Essays on Actions and Events, de que "los actos humanos son racionalmente intencionales y explicables en términos de las creencias y los deseos del agente". Žižek arguye contra Davidson que tal postura acaba atribuyéndole al otro "las creencias más ridículas [···] como explicación racional de por qué está haciendo lo que hace".

First Official Stills of Agent Suzy in tvN Action Drama Vagabond
Posted on December 14, 2018 by ockoala
I'm sure this post will generate the usual Suzy is going to ruin the drama commentary and honestly it's 50/50 that's going to happen. In the meantime she'll look very pretty onscreen even if she's not emoting or emoting in the wrong way lol. The girl is here to stay in drama land and there is nothing arm chair casting agents can do other than hope she learns how to act better with each successive project which is my philosophy. Up next for Suzy is the tvN action thriller Vagabond reuniting with Lee Seung Gi after fantasy sageuk Gu Family Book. She plays a government agent and looks like she sauntered onto this set from the ending scene of Gu Family Book where her character reincarnates into a cop in modern life. Suzy will a gun will NEVER be believable even if she suddenly turns into Jeon Do Yeon level acting but I do like the vibe going on with this pictures, very idol girl cosplaying cop.

"Suzy with a gun will never be believable even if…." The tone similar of ockoalas article has become like those old dramabeans article or has she's been like this. Oh well it's a blog site so she is free to say her opinion.
Ginger Crunch on December 14, 2018 at 4:04 PM said:
If Suzy comes across as just a 'pretty girl' in this drama I'm gonna chew my arm off because the calibre of K actresses right now that I know for sure would do well if given the opportunity but alas don't hold the influence and dosh to yield it their way is totally unfair. However that's the harsh reality of it's not what you know but who you know. Therefore I'm keeping an open mind and will know from that first episode if it's a drama worthy of my attention. If not I'll be at the local hospital getting treatment for bite marks on my arm. Sub text – Please be good!!!
Royal We on December 15, 2018 at 3:26 AM said:
Yeah it's been eight years since she began acting and every project she's done has bent over backwards to accommodate her lack of acting skills, it's not even as if her projects in her twenties were successful enough to deserve the hype.
Now there's a whole generation of actresses in her age group and younger who have the skill and are getting the popularity, it's high time she either starts to deliver good performances (not 'improved' under scriptwriters who try hard to cover for her btw, I mean good at least to the level of IU) or just sticks to modelling and endorsing things.
Fee on December 15, 2018 at 8:03 AM said:
You speak my truth.
I've tried to be open and fair minded with each project of hers. Sometimes she surprises me with rare instances of what i think could be actual expressive acting. But even after all this time, her emotive qualities are so lackluster overall, it's so difficult sometimes to get into and care about the characters she plays. I wish she would take a page from 2pm Junho and really learn how to hone her craft. Sadly, she is a classic case of where hype doesnt live up to reality.
forgotun on December 14, 2018 at 4:13 PM said:
This drama is coming out in April, yet they are already promoting it? That's five months worth of promotion lol. Did she and JYP not learn that keeping expectations low works best. She always lands these big production dramas with the most media play and promotion than almost any other dramas yet the results are almost always still bad even with hyped male leads. Maybe Vagabond will be different, we'll see.
Lu on December 14, 2018 at 5:41 PM said:
jyp isn't even the ond who posted this, not from korean media either. but go off, i guess
RubyRed on December 15, 2018 at 5:04 AM said:
She has a point though.Uncontrollably Fond and WYWS had a year long promotions each and heavy media play but the results were not proportionate to the hype.There is no way JYP doesnt have an input(either financially or tapping the media) when it comes to promoting Suzy projects.But then again Seung Gi's agency is no different.They too are fond of heavy mediaplay.Not to mention sis koala is a mega fan of suzy so we will be getting LOADS of news when the drama promos start in full gear.
tvsm on December 15, 2018 at 6:31 PM said:
I agree with UF. But definitely not with WYWS, fans of Suzy and LJS were all complaining because a month before WYWS, they haven't started the promotion yet. They also only release like 2-3 BTS (kiss scenes doesn't even have a BTS) and only 2 OST has an MV… heavy promotion where?
Hope Airen on December 16, 2018 at 12:41 PM said:
@RubyRed as a LSG fan I'm laughing at your "his agency is no different" because the boy gets 0 promotions from his agency, be it acting, singing or variety.
Tiani on December 14, 2018 at 4:32 PM said:
Isnt vagabond sbs drama? Actiom drama is not my thing, but will give it try for that high budget. By the why never think that suzy look pretty in drama, but her acting in while you were sleeping is good, even tho I watch it for lee jong suk alone (the script is boring)
Mace Aquino on December 14, 2018 at 4:54 PM said:
Vagabond is not a TVn drama.
Vagabond is SBS drama to be aired on April.
RubyRed on December 14, 2018 at 5:35 PM said:
The posters are so amateur looking to be honest.I believe even her fans can create better fan-art/posters than this.This is supposed to be a very high budget drama.
this is not the official poster, just a still cut
Tshering on December 14, 2018 at 8:01 PM said:
I feel overhyped drama always tends to under perform. And suzy both of the last two dramas has been hyped a lot but didnt do good.
Shah on December 14, 2018 at 8:42 PM said:
I hope seungi will finally know how to act. Suzy will perfect her character for sure but seungi have to be more focus. After all those years he's still not up to par.

Try to ignite fan war huh? Seunggi's fans, lets not respond.
Drama addict on December 15, 2018 at 2:20 AM said:
Lol ignorant fan calling seung gi's acting not good? Out of all the actors??? Lol. Of all korean actors in 30's only Seung gi, joowon and yoo ah in are good in my eyes.. And I'm a korean movie and drama fan since 2006.

Kim soohyun is good too
Sayaris on December 14, 2018 at 11:36 PM said:
The last pictures look like a magazine cover. I don't have expectation for Suzy anymore, so I will try it and if the story, the action and LSG are good and make the drama bearable, I will watch it, like Hwayugi. The story and Oh Yeon Seo were meh, but the other actors and their characters were pretty fun.

prettyautumn on December 15, 2018 at 10:25 AM said:
Just looking at these stills you can see how bad her acting is. Same cringe expression like in all other dramas. Why does she keep landing roles? Sbs is really investing in this drama more than it was ready to invest in DOTS? Laughable

How can you tell how bad her acting will be from pics? You're obviously biased from the beginning.

The Days of Johann, an agility dog!: So much rain, even the snails don't want to be on the ground!
So much rain, even the snails don't want to be on the ground!
Wow, we've had a lot of rain.
We counted and up until about a week ago, it rained every day for just under four weeks straight. And three of those days in a row, it rained all day! Sometimes 2-3 inches of rain a day, filling up our doggie pool and making Mum bail it instead of just dumping it over.
Thankfully, the rain is starting to ease up and we've had a day or so here and there without rain.
The rain brought out the ticks, so Mum had to wait till there was a break last week to put down the diatomaceous earth, which we were able to have down for about 30 hours before the rain came again. But it seemed to take care of those nasties. We haven't seen a tick since.
During the rains, even the snails didn't want to be near the ground, we found them everywhere....on the fence posts, on the front door, on the back deck, on the walls of the outside of the cabin, on the trees...always about four or five feet up from the ground. Smart snails.
Mum took a trip into town to get groceries on Sunday, and she was driving down our mountain road (the only road to get into town) and saw all this mud on the road. What?!? Then she looked up the mountain to the right and wow, a mud slide!!!
Seems it had happened a few days earlier and the county bulldozer had to clean up over two feet deep mud on the road, along with trees, logs, and other debris. Wow!
While Mum was in town, she saw a local newspaper. We couldn't believe what it said. Seems we've had over 55 inches of rain here this year so far....that's just under a few inches of all the rain that we had all of last year! We thought we've had a lot of rain, but wow, that is a lot!
Oh and guess what, as I type this, it started raining again, huh!!! Enough already!
