On this fifth Sunday of ordinary time, the holy mother church invites us to praise Christ, who continues doing good. He, and his apostles carried out their mission as a responsibility and not just for wages. Therefore, he liberates and calls us to serve others freely.
The first reading presents us with the dilemma of Job an innocent and faithful servant of God. Rather than leave the image of suffering and misery, the story of Job should raise our hope and trust in the saving power of God.
Job's faith was severely tested by the devil. He lost everything. As a man, Job complained as most of us do: "Lying in bed I wonder, when it will be day? Rising I think, how slowly evening comes…Remember that my life is but a breath, and that my eyes will never see joy." However, and to the glory of God, Job did not lose his faith in God.
Job's case reminds us of our own daily struggles with the problems of life. Above all, it reminds us, of what at times, seems to us as the "grave silence or absence of God" in our lives. They are terrible moments that make us ask questions like: God, where are you? Why me? What have I done wrong? God answers these question at his own time.
In the second reading, Paul strongly expressed his willingness to preach the gospel. He exclaims: "Curse upon me, if I do not preach the gospel!" His story is like that of a man who survived a disease, and dedicated his life to help other patients. Again, he is like a doctor who discovered a vaccine for a certain illness and vowed to offer it free of charge to all.
Paul was spiritually sick until he providentially encountered Christ. This encounter transformed his life and strengthened his faith. So, he dedicated himself to the preaching of the good news. This is his testimony: "…I made myself all things to all men, in order to save some at any cost…for the sake of the gospel…to have a share in its blessing." So, rather than for wages, Paul saw his call as a responsibility for the salvation of others. He was a full time itinerary preacher who was always hungry for the conversion of souls for Christ.
In today's gospel, Jesus tirelessly went about teaching, healing, delivering and empowering people. This includes, the mother-in-law of Peter. Also, Jesus saw his ministry as a responsibility not principally as a wage earner for him. So, above everything he was passionate about it, and about the welfare of his people.
Like Jesus and Paul, we ought to see our call and mission as a responsibility, rather than a wage earner, or for worldly reward as its end. Wages or rewards does not refer to only money or material things. Deliberately seeking praises for our work and mission, is a way of demanding wages too. If we do so, we already have got our wages. So, when we attract undue attention to ourselves for the work we do, it is also a way of gaining a wage for what simply ought to be our responsibility.
Jesus preached, healed and delivered people from all kinds of infirmities and problems. There was no one who encountered him with faith that he did not heal. If Jesus must heal us, we too must have faith in him. Also, If the good news must liberate us, we must believe it.


South Beach is known around the world as a nightlife hotspot, but unfortunately, it's also a hotspot for DUIs. Given that Florida has some of the strictest DUI laws in the country, if you've been arrested for a DUI on South Beach, then it's highly advisable that you hire an experienced South Beach DUI attorney.
Some DUI defendants don't want to pay for a DUI attorney, naively thinking that they are "saving money" by representing themselves in court. However, when you look at the sheer magnitude and high costs of Florida's DUI penalties coupled with the fact that hiring a DUI attorney gives you the best shot at getting your charges reduced or even dropped, you can't afford not to hire a DUI lawyer to represent you.
Hiring an experienced DUI lawyer in South Beach such as Yale Galanter or one of his partners at the Miami criminal defense law firm of Galanter Law can have a dramatic impact on the outcome of your DUI case and can actually save you money in the long run. In Florida, DUI is an extremely serious charge; as such, you need someone who is intimately familiar with Florida's complicated DUI laws and nuanced court proceedings to be by your side and look after your best interests. While hiring a DUI attorney is going to cost you money upfront, the cost is well worth it because it will dramatically increase your chances of having your charges reduced and penalties minimized or, in the best case scenario, having your charges dismissed altogether. The stakes are too high for you to represent yourself. If you've been arrested for a DUI on South Beach or anywhere in South Florida, contact us immediately—we can help you!

It's official. Jordan Wheeler of Lake Oswego will replace Kim Yamashita as Sandy city manager as of Jan. 2, 2019.
Yamashita announced her intention to retire to the Sandy City Council in July.
"I will miss the staff very much," Yamashita told The Post. "What a great opportunity this has been and the ability to work with such a great staff has been the highlight."
Wheeler, who has 10 years of experience in local government, budgeting and managing capital projects for cities, was one of three finalists the council interviewed on Nov. 10. He works as deputy city manager under Lake Oswego City Manager Scott Lazenby, a former Sandy city manager.
Wheeler was offered a beginning salary of $115,788.
"I've heard a lot of good things about staff. It seems like there's a lot of good things coming up in the future," Wheeler said. "It's been a joy to meet staff (and) I look forward to helping address issues and challenges before us."
Yamashita said, "I am sure he will be a great asset to the city."

Bankruptcy – Case Studies

Bankruptcy as a Positive Tool for Working Capital
A client found itself in the awkward position of having had its secured debt sold to a third party that had subsequently made demand to be paid. Even though we knew the notes had been sold at a substantial discount, legally the obligation had to be paid at its face value.The new note holder refused to negotiate a settlement and, in fact, caused the assets to be repossessed. The only solution to forestall this action was to have the client file for protection under the bankruptcy court. Once the petition was approved, we sought a new loan for the business which was operating as a Debtor-In-Possession (DIP). This request was approved and we then had the leverage to negotiate a settlement with the note holder for less than 30% of its balance and were able to use the balance to fund the reorganization and successfully re-emerge from bankruptcy. All of the other creditors including the unsecured creditors, were able to get paid in full and several years later, the client, with whom we continue to work, has paid all but a small portion of its secured debt used to emerge from bankruptcy.

Case Studies: Growing Business but Losing Money
March 26, 2012 By BFR
Growing Business but Losing Money
A client came to us with a serious problem: he had a growing business but was losing money; his lenders had lost faith in the company. The business had taken on considerable debt to fund specialized machinery that greatly expanded the company's capacity. Although the business had grown, it still wasn't operating near its new capacity. The lender's withdrawal of a line of credit had meant the company moved to a factor to borrow against its receivables, incurring tremendous costs and fees.
We analyzed the situation and found that 1) the cost of capital had grown tremendously as this company had been forced to move to more and more expensive sources of capital, and 2) that the accountant had used a five year life for the new machinery, causing a very high depreciation amount that exacerbated the company's losses. We were able to convince the accountant to restate the company's results, according a fifteen year life to the specialized equipment. This action by itself added $1 million to assets and net worth, curing a deficiency in the capital account. Secondly, we showed what the company's recent history would have been if it had been able to attract capital under more normal terms. In that case, the company would have been profitable, as the nearly $1 million of annual interest cost would have been substantially reduced. We were able to find a new working capital lender, reducing all in costs on the company's line of credit by 12 points, and to bring in a new mortgage for the building, reducing that rate by 5.5 points. With these new facilities, the equipment lender decided to stay with the company and go forward.

Artwork Analysis: the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci
Visitors in front of the Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Paris
Despite being the world's most famous painting, a profound scepticism still surrounds the woman with the enigmatic smile. Fascinating, intriguing and mysterious; the Mona Lisa is still discussed animatedly today, offering a vital insight into the Renaissance period. She is known and recognised worldwide, and her admirers travel from every corner of the globe to see her (or rather try amongst the mob of tourists and smartphones). Thousands of eager eyes peruse the painting daily, absorbing da Vinci's well-guarded masterpiece. The year 2019 marks 500 years since da Vinci's death, and has been commemorated by a huge retrospective of the artist's career at the Louvre. The exhibition is such a highly anticipated event, that the Louvre was forced to ask visitors to reserve a specific time slot to visit. To mark this monumental occasion, Artsper takes you back in time to find out more about the woman behind the smile.
American President, John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy, receiving the Mona Lisa in 1962
The painting should have been completed in 1503, but the painter never let it out of his sight; never truly 'finishing' the painting until his death in 1519. When da Vinci left Italy to become King Francis I's protégé, he took 3 works with him: one being the Mona Lisa. Shortly before his death, da Vinci sold the painting to King Francis I for 4,000 gold coins, and it remained a part of the royal collections during the reign of Louis XIV. Before it joined the permanent collection of the Louvre, Napoleon Bonaparte requested the painting for Josephine's personal apartments. Like the majority of the museum's objets d'art, the Mona Lisa had to be removed and stored securely during the two World Wars. Louvre curator, René Huyghe, saved the painting from the Nazis by hiding it under his bed. Despite her tumultuous travels in previous years, André Malraux's insisted the Mona Lisa leave Europe for the United States, where she was received by President John F. Kennedy in 1962. Now too fragile to travel, the Mona Lisa remains in the Louvre where she is visited by thousands everyday.
Lorenzo di Credi, Portrait of Caterina Sforza (1485-1490)
The Mona Lisa, like the rest of da Vinci's paintings, was never signed or dated. When it comes to the identity of the mysterious Mona Lisa, it is Giorgio Vasari's theory that is considered the most official. "Mona" derives from the Italian term "Monna" meaning "lady," suggesting Lady Lisa to have been Lisa Gherdinini, the wife of Francesco Del Giocondo. It is widely believed that Giocondo, a cloth and silk merchant, commissioned the painting of his wife but never received it. However a widespread scepticism surrounds this theory; many are dubious as to the authenticity of this story, and are still searching for the Mona Lisa's true identity. Italian historian, Roberto Zapperi, accused Giorgio Vasari of inventing this claim, and that the Mona Lisa is actually a portrait of Pacifica Brandani. Brandani was the mistress of Giuliano de' Medici, son of Lorenzo de' Medici. The identity of the Mona Lisa remains an animated discussion amongst art historians, and has even become the root of some more far-fetched theories. Some of the most creative claims suggest the Mona Lisa is a prostitute, da Vinci's mother or even a man ( Leonardo's apprentice, Salai). Others are convinced the Mona Lisa is a portrait of the 15th century Duchess of Forli, Catherine Sforza. Attempts have even been made to reconstruct Lisa Gherardini's face from her skull, to then superimpose onto da Vinci's portrait. Even though these attempts were unsuccessful, Lisa Gherardini was still formally identified as the Mona Lisa.
Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa (between 1505 and 1518)
Her profound gaze follows you around the room, and her expression is a source of fascination to many. After 500 years of watching her visitors, the Mona Lisa has maintained ironclad eye contact with all those who let themselves be absorbed by her mocking smile. Art historians have again proposed various theories for this fascination with the Mona Lisa. Medical hypotheses are the most common; where dental issues, facial paralysis and even thyroid problems are at the root of the Mona Lisa's captivating aesthetic. The particularity of the Mona Lisa's face could simply be due to fading colour over the centuries. One theory charmingly claimed the Mona Lisa's facial expression is a result of entertainers who made the model laugh during the painting; allowing da Vinci to capture this unique and slightly stifled smile.
Close-up of the Mona Lisa, The Louvre
A major study at the beginning of the 21st century provided a better understanding of Leonardo da Vinci's famous sfumato technique. "Sfumato" means "soft" in Italian, which accurately describes the delicate, hazy and slightly blurred effect of da Vinci's painting. Subjects are coated in a cloud of carefully blended colour and subtle gradations. The Mona Lisa is made up of approximately twenty light layers of paint, some of which are extremely thin. As a result of this meticulous work, the surface of the painting shows absolutely no trace of brush strokes. Despite its epic age, the Mona Lisa is rather well preserved. However, infrared analyses have discovered that certain pigments and in particular Mona Lisa's eyebrows, have faded over the centuries.
An Icon
Beyoncé and Jay-Z filming in the Louvre
One morning in 1911, visitors were shocked to discover that the Mona Lisa had disappeared from the Louvre. News of the painting's disappearance spread like wildfire, and fingers were quick to point at Pablo Picasso and his friend, Guillaume Apollinaire. However, the Mona Lisa was actually stolen by Vincenzo Peruggia, an Italian carpenter, who kept the painting on his kitchen table for two years before it was found. This had an astronomical impact on the public, all because Peruggia was under the false understanding that the Mona Lisa was one of the paintings stolen by the Napoleonic army. Throughout the history of art, her smile has inspired artists such as, Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, Banksy and Okuda. Even today, a considerable number of contemporary artists still appropriate this mythical portrait in their works.
Andy Warhol, Colored Mona Lisa
Leonardo da Vinci truly put his heart and soul into the Mona Lisa. Many claim the portrait is physically aging, as the left side of her face appears younger than the right. Perhaps this was intentional, and da Vinci's mastery managed to convey a painting who would quite literally age with the hundreds of generations she observed.

Restaurant wait staff, cooks and other in food service will be eligible for vaccines next month
Colorado's restaurant workers, who like grocery and public transit workers have been in close contact with people during the pandemic, are moving up in line for vaccinations.
The Colorado Restaurant Association — not the state Department of Public Health and Environment — announced Tuesday that restaurant workers are now in Phase 1B.3, which is expected to start in March and includes grocery store workers, faith leaders and transit drivers. Ahead of them remain health care workers, first responders and those 65 and older.
A news release from the association said Gov. Jared Polis' office had confirmed Tuesday that food service staff would be considered "frontline essential" workers. The state health department also confirmed that Tuesday night, telling The Post in an email that restaurant workers are now included with other food and agriculture employees.
"This clarification makes it clear that restaurant workers are included in the food workers category, but the exact timing and phasing of 1B.3 depends on quantities of vaccine beyond the window that we currently have estimates on," a state spokesperson said. "We expect that we will have more Information on finalizing timing and prioritization for 1B.3 in mid-February."
Previously, restaurant workers were not part of Phase 1B of the distribution plan that the state health department revised in late December. At that time, a spokesperson said that the phase "includes those in food manufacturing and supply; it does not include restaurant workers."
The association reported it had been asking for priority vaccine access for restaurant workers since December, arguing that they should be treated equivalently with grocery stores.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has reported 247 outbreaks in restaurants –1,346 cases — since April. The vast majority of outbreaks had 10 or fewer cases, though two outbreaks linked to In-N-Out restaurants infected a combined 171 employees.
And restaurant workers have been in and out of work as the state's coronavirus restrictions have fluctuated alongside case counts. Early on, indoor dining was restricted, and many stayed open for takeout or delivery only. That lifted June 1.
Another indoor-dining shutdown that started in November was changed in January once the governor ordered the state health department to move counties at Level Red to a lower level. It allowed restaurants in counties, such as Denver and Boulder, to resume indoor dining at 25{431c92db2ef93c421a350be785d244bd702e2c73a34f2b6f60cd8fd62b61507d} capacity even though their communities didn't meet the metrics to do so.
The decision was in contrast to the concern by public health experts — including those on the governor's own modeling team — about reopening indoor dining while transmission of the novel coronavirus remained high.
Since the state began distributing COVID-19 vaccines, it has repeatedly altered its plans on how it will get the shots in the arms of Coloradans. Last week, the state expanded eligibility to people ages 65 to 69, teachers and child care providers, who will be able to receive the shots starting Monday.

Hierodula patellifera — вид насекомых из семейства настоящих богомолов (Mantidae). Распространён в Восточной и Южной Азии. Принадлежит к богатому видам рода Hierodula, основной ареал которого охватывает Юго-Восточную Азию и Австралию. Большие зеленые или бурые богомолы.

Внешний вид и строение
Тело коренастое, длиной 4,5-6,5 см у самцов и 5-7 см у самок. Окрас зеленый или коричнево-фиолетовый. На голове присутствует небольшой бугор между основами антенн и глазами. На внутреннем краю тазиков передних ног имеются 2-4 беловатые лопасти, оканчивающиеся хрупкими шипами. Задние и средние ноги с шипом на колене. Кожистые надкрылья полностью покрывают конец брюшка, задние крылья хорошо развиты, прозрачны. На передних крыльях имеется большой беловатый глазок.

Образ жизни
Предпочитает древесную или кустарниковую растительность, где охотится на насекомых из засады, принимая характерную для большинства богомолов позу «молящегося». Имаго хорошо летает, самцы активно летят на свет, самки по мере увеличения массы летать прекращают.

Половозрелая самка примерно через 14 дней после последней линьки начинает привлекать самцов. Обычно самки в покое сидят с нижней стороны на ветке дерева, крыльями вниз. Привлечения самцов состоит из подъема брюшка относительно крыльев, затем брюшко раздувается, демонстрируя красноватые края брюшных сегментов, а также, вероятно, усиливая выделение феромонов. Такое поведение демонстрируют только неоплодотворенные самки, после оплодотворения оно прекращается.

Самка откладывает большую отеку зеленоватого цвета, которая в дальнейшем темнеет. Оотека цилиндрическая, примерно 1,5 см в длину и 1,3 см в диаметре с острым кончиком к передней части. Вылупление личинок происходит через 3-4 недели. Из оотеки одновременно выходит примерно 150 личинок.

Распространение
Встречается в Восточной Азии. Впервые описан на Яве. Присутствует в Малайзии, Индии, Японии, Корее, Таиланде, Вьетнаме. Как инвазивный вид обнаружен на Гавайях.

В 2020 году было сообщено об обнаружении этого вида на юге Франции по крайней мере с 2013 года, а также на севере Италии. Наиболее вероятным путем попадания вида в Европу считают случайную перевозку оотек с товарами из Азии, в частности на бамбуковых метлах.

В культуре
Богомолов и оотеки этого вида используют в пищу в Китае и как средство народной медицины в Японии, Корее и Китае.

Этот богомол изображен на марке Бутана 1969 года ценой 3 нгултрума.

"At least he didn't play scared"

Winston needs to settle in, but strong finish provides hope Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston throws against the Minnesota Vikings during the first half of a preseason NFL football game Saturday, Aug. 15, 2015, in Minneapolis. (AP Photo/Jim Mone) Martin Fennelly Published: August 16, 2015 TAMPA — It was the day after Jameis Winston's first game as a Buc. There might be as many as 19 to follow, with accompanying dissections, before the end of Winston's rookie season — the good, the bad, the ugly.At least he didn't play scared.Winston was all over the road in Minnesota, only he did it in reverse: bad, ugly, then good. I guess that's something to lean on at this point.So Lovie Smith did."I like the way he finished," Smith said.Mainly in a two-minute drill that led to a Bucs touchdown just before halftime, a couple of sure throws and a Winston 8-yard run for six points — after a slow start, bad misses, then a 40-yarder to Vincent Jackson for Winston's first completion, but later a Winston interception.All over the place.Nothing surprising there.Nothing to stay up at night worrying about.Unless you don't like the sacks or Winston's throws under pressure, which point toward what might well be a horrific Bucs offensive line, and that was before right tackle Demar Dotson was hurt late in the first half. Knee sprain. Probably worse. Ouch.OK, stay up and worry.Back to Jameis. 9-for-19, 131 yards and the pick.So let's go to the Jameis-Marcus scoreboard.We know what No. 1 did. Good. Bad. In between.Then there's No. 2: Tennessee rookie Marcus Mariota, taken right behind Jameis in the draft.Mariota was spectacular the first two weeks of training camp, throwing zero interceptions while Winston made a pile of them.Then came Tennessee's preseason opener at Atlanta. Mariota threw a pick to end his first drive in an NFL uniform. Next drive, he fumbled and Atlanta ran it in for a touchdown.But Mariota rallied, leading Tennessee on a 90-yard TD drive. He finished 7-for-8 passing. He finished strong. Likewise Winston. Well, strong enough."Yes. You'd like all of your players, the first time they go on the football field, to be perfect, get off to a good start and have it go their way throughout," Smith said. "But that's not the case. But what we saw from (Jameis), facing a little adversity early on, hung in there. Looked in his eyes on the sideline. He was anxious to continue to get reps. As much as anything, the script we'd drawn up was for him to finish strong. We felt like he did that."Maybe Winston and Mariota will keep going back and forth, up and down, until the tiebreaker, the Sept. 13 season opener here.Can't wait.But that Dotson was in this game late in the first half says a lot, because he was in there to try to protect Jameis, who played the entire half."We wanted to do what we could to protect our quarterback," Smith said.The scary thing is that Winston rushed some throws, just like his final season in Tallahassee, when he threw off the back foot a lot because Florida State's offensive line was no match for the 2013 Seminoles O-line, at least to start the season. Winston went from 40 TDs and 10 picks in his 2013 Heisman season to 25 TDs and 18 interceptions in 2014. Some bad habits.It's hard to see how that will get better if the Bucs' offensive line isn't better than last season. I'm not sure new Bucs offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter can scheme his way around that. He'll need to try.And Winston will need to settle down and in.Smith liked one thing more than anything."How he finished. I mean, that's pretty much it. He made the right checks and things like that. He looked comfortable in the pocket, especially at the end. He threw some good balls at the end."He added, "Just got to keep him protected."Right now, there's nowhere to hide.
Im all for them bringing mrsa back.Not for biological warfare, but pychological.Best chance we have... ::)

Born in a small community near the city of Saint-Dizier, Marcel Dhièvre was somewhat isolated during his youth, no doubt a result from a congential paralysis that he suffered in his right hand. He married in 1920, and for a short period held a job with the French national railways, but this did not suit him. In 1923, he and his wife bought a house on the Avenue de la République in Saint-Dizier, where they started a clothing shop, selling products from on site and also in nearby markets.
After divorcing in 1935, Dhièvre married again two years later, and the couple moved to Eurville, a community not far from Saint-Dizier. Although partially disabled, Dhièvre constructed their home himself; soon, having met an Italian painter/decorater who introduced him ito his métier, he began to embellish the outside of the house with mosaic decorations. After his clothing shop reopened after World War II, he began a major project in which his urban home became completely covered in ornamentation.
Dhièvre traveled regularly to Paris to supplement the stock of his shop, and he so admired the grandeur of the city that he called his shop, Au Petit Paris (At Little Paris). He embellished the facade with mosaics, focusing on natural motifs such as representations of flowers, trees, and birds, as well as on important Parisian monuments, including the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Chambre des Députés. He worked inside as well, decorating the interior walls with frescoes, and he also painted and created ceramic constructions.
After Dhièvre retired in 1960, he devoted himself fully to his life's work, which he did so passionately that he gradually lost contact with the outside world. He continued working until his death in November 1977.
Although in 1984 the house was recognized as a Monument Historique, its future remained uncertain for several decades. The new private owner, who wanted to maintain the house as an art environment, could not obtain the necessary funds, so the site gradually fell into disrepair, as the colors of the mosaics faded and elements fell off. In 2008, however, the city announced it would become the owner of the site and allocate funds to restore it, implementing the restoration during 2011-2012.
~Henk van Es / Sophie Lepetit
Update, May 2020: After the restored house was reopened in September 2012, for some years it remained unclear how it would be used. In late 2017 it was announced that it would become kind of a cultural café. In September 2019 such a cafe opened indeed, the Bar au Petit Paris.

The intervertebral disc is a complex and essential part of the spine. It allows pain-free motion of the spine, or not. If the disc degenerates, spinal motion deteriorates, and pain often materializes. This is even more probable for patients with diabetes. It is|It's]5] just one more issue Fort Wayne diabetic patients need to address. The latest research on diabetes and the disc reveals that vitamin D may be of help in the health of the disc. Fort Wayne Chiropractic Radiological Center is here to do just that for Fort Wayne back pain patients as well as Fort Wayne diabetic patients who also have Fort Wayne back pain.
Diabetic patients with disc degeneration want to take Vitamin D as it prevents and even treats degenerative changes in their discs. How? By improving the content of TGF-β and IGF-1, two influential growth factor cytokines (proteins circulated by cells that control specific interactions with other cells). (1) Fort Wayne Chiropractic Radiological Center bets you will agree that it is stunning how the health of the disc comes down to the very cells that make it up|of which it is comprised! Those cells need Vitamin D to do their job well. Fort Wayne Chiropractic Radiological Center urges Fort Wayne diabetic and non-diabetic patients similarly to care for these cells nutritionally and with Fort Wayne chiropractic spinal manipulation in the form of Cox Technic.
The glucose status also alters the oxygen consumption rate of degenerated discs: degenerative discs in low glucose have higher oxygen consumption rates and degenerative discs in high glucose have lower oxygen consumption rates. The glucose status didn't alter non-degenerated discs. (2) Fort Wayne degenerated discs respond differently than non-degenerated ones. Of this, Fort Wayne Chiropractic Radiological Center is confident because Fort Wayne Chiropractic Radiological Center sees it every day in caring for our Fort Wayne back pain patients.
The degenerative intervertebral disc has a substantially higher oxygen consumption rate - 3 to 5 times greater - than the non-degenerative, normal human disc. The degenerative disc is different at the cellular level. This oxygen consumption rate factor changes the disc's cellular behavior and even the nutritional state of the disc's tissue as nutrients are delivered to the disc through the matrix and endplates. This rate of transport of nutrients is affected by the degenerative state of the disc. (2) So when should Vitamin D be consumed to protect and care for the Fort Wayne degenerative disc? When the disc is healthy and even more so when it is not.
Schedule your Fort Wayne chiropractic appointment at Fort Wayne Chiropractic Radiological Center to discuss the health status of your Fort Wayne spinal discs and how Vitamin D may benefit them whether they are degenerated or not.


I haven't done an Obscure Games for a while, but I thought that I'd do something a little bit different this time. Here's a list, with capsule reviews, of roleplaying games that game designers should be familiar with, in addition to D&D. These are games that introduce some sort of concept that I think should be considered by people designing roleplaying games. They are not necessarily my favorite games, though in many cases they are, nor are they necessarily games that as a whole are fun to play, only ones that have something of interest to add to the body of game design.
Albedo The Role-Playing Game: Often dismissed due to its "furry" content, Albedo is actually a solid hard-SF setting with innovative RPG mechanics that deserve more attention. Set in a region of space that is populated by genetically uplifted Terran animals (who basically awoke one day with full intelligence, raised by AI systems that taught them the sciences and so forth), the game follows the rising tensions between the Interstellar Confederacy (the ConFed) and the Independent Lapine Republic (ILR, or The Republic). Notable game systems include the unusual treatment of armor and injury and the author's first attempt at Ties/Antipathies and their effects on the character's Self-Image (see Lace & Steel below for the game designer's second foray at the concept). There's also a solid mechanic for simulating the character's ability to act in stressful situations, called "Coolness Under Fire". The emotional state of characters is an important area of design that has been largely ignored in the past.
Call of Cthulhu: At this point, most people know of this game and its primary innovation, the Sanity system. Still, I should at least mention it here.
Dungeon Crawl Classics: Mostly just a new way to approach the same game systems as D&D, while updating the game a bit, but still keeping the "old school" nature of the rules. The way that magic is handled, with Patrons and variable spell effects and so on, indicates a way to keep magic from becoming too predictable without screwing over players who choose to play magic-users.
Fantasy Wargaming: Generally only noted when people want to make fun of it, Fantasy Wargaming is a better design than its detractors would have it (if, unfortunately, underdeveloped and poorly laid-out in ways that lead to detraction by those who only read and never play). I've already done an extensive review of this one, which I link at the beginning of this paragraph. Systems to watch include the unified magic and religion system, what is among the earliest attempts to deal with characters' emotions in the "temptation" system (I'm not sure whether Call of Cthulhu's Sanity system predates it, as both games were released in 1981), and the integration of the medieval "physics" system (that is, astrology) into nearly every aspect of the game.
Flashing Blades: Still, in my opinion, the best swashbuckling RPG out there. It has quick, yet flavorful, mechanics to cover the sorts of scrapes that musketeers and pirates find themselves in, as well as the sorts of dirty tricks they pull to get out of those scrapes. Most importantly, though, it has an extensive "Career" system that allows a character to start at the bottom and work their way to the top in one field or another, whether that be the Royal Bureaucracy, the Church, or the Military, among other pursuits.
GURPS: Among other things good about it, GURPS includes a lot, and I mean a lot, of useful detail in its various supplements, from how quickly characters can dig to potential problems with pregnancies. I'd especially point designers toward some of its alternative magic systems, and most especially to the one they call "Path/Book Magic" (sometimes just "Path Magic") in the fourth edition. In the third edition, it was called "Spirit Magic".
Hârnmaster: Designed specifically for the world of Hârn, obviously, but people have adapted it to other settings as well. The system is not very different than that of RuneQuest, but the way that combat wounds are handled should be something that every designer knows about. Basically, each wound is described based on the type of damage (blunt, edged, puncture, etc), the severity of the blow, the location hit, and so forth. If the wound is bleeding, that is noted. Each wound is given a rating indicating how severe and therefore how much it affects the character through pain, tissue damage, and so on, and then when it is treated it also gets a rating for how fast it will heal. That also leads to examining if the wound becomes infected. Treatments are based on the type of damage, so that a bruise might only need an herbal compress, while a similar cut needs to be bandaged, and a compound fracture might need a surgeon (or chirurgeon). This sounds complicated, but in fact is very easy to do at the table, only slightly more complex than RuneQuest's tracking of hit points by location or GURPS's handling of "major wounds", critical hits, special damage types and hit locations, and so on.
Lace & Steel: Designer Paul Kidd's second RPG design, it refines some of the concepts that he worked on in Albedo, above. The setting is fun, with a number of mainly Greek mythological races (trolls and pixies being the main exceptions) living in a mostly Renaissance-era setting with magic. The biggest weakness of the game is the reliance on proprietary card decks for major game systems. That was fashionable at the time, but there's a reason that almost no games use those methods today. To me, one of the most useful design ideas is the concept of "travel fatigue". Basically, characters roll against their Travel skill and Endurance every day or two of travel to avoid minor discomforts, or even losing items of equipment or damaging clothing. Properly-cooked food or spending the night at the inn instead of in the open can help recover this fatigue during the journey, with more luxurious rooms providing a better chance of recovering from the fatigue. There are also mass combat and ship combat systems, so that the players can be involved in major events.
Pendragon: Using a simplification of Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying system as a base, Pendragon is simply the best Arthurian fantasy game out there. It includes several innovations that help reinforce the mood and setting, such as a system of Personality Traits and Passions that provide a method of depicting characters' emotions, built-in high-level play such as tending the characters' various manors that provide them with income and a base of operations, and the concept of "Dynastic Play", where the player will eventually end up, in a continuing campaign, playing their original character's children, grandchildren, and so on. Personally, I like the fourth edition, which includes a magic system and provision for wizard and female characters, but I understand that some people are less fond of that one. I don't know much about the fifth edition, to be fair.
Reign: Using the "One Roll Engine" (ORE) system, this fantasy game focuses on faction play. That is, the characters will be in charge of some organization or group that allows them to participate in the high-level events of the setting. One notable feature is the ability to either design or roll a character randomly, in a way that doesn't privilege one over the other. But it's the faction rules that should grab the attention of a prospective game designer.
The Riddle of Steel: Takes a lot of ideas from Pendragon and other games, which is fine, but the main innovation that this game brings is a solid grounding in actual medieval weapons use. Also includes another way to integrate character personality and emotions into the game mechanics. Unfortunately difficult to find, there is a "successor" game called Blade of the Iron Throne that apparently develops the system further in a more sword & sorcery setting, but I haven't seen that game and can't comment on it.
Space 1889: For whatever reasons, some people don't like the game system that GDW developed for this game, which was a simplified version of the "GDW House System" that powered the second edition of Twilight 2000, along with other games such as Traveller: The New Era and Dark Conspiracy. That said, the method that the designers chose to represent the abilities of inventors was a surprisingly interesting system, pointing toward an alternative way to approach "magical" abilities in a game, or could probably be adapted to any of a number of different game abilities.
Stars Without Number: Another game that is built on a D&D-like game system, the setting is purely designed to facilitate gaming, and should be examined carefully for its lessons in that vein. In addition, the game includes a number of Referee tools to facilitate running it, such as faction rules (see Reign, above), the concept of location tags (to provide a quick differentiation between one place and another), and so on. The game is a mastercourse in game design focused on the needs of a roleplaying campaign. All of the other games from Sine Nomine Publishing (the imprint of the designer, Kevin Crawford) are also worth examining for various reasons, generally having to do with systems that enable and facilitate "sandbox" style play while also providing a dynamic background.
Swordbearer: There are a lot of little rules choices here that serve to make a fairly unusual gaming experience. Notable ones include the abstracted approach to character wealth, where wealth is related to social status directly and finding treasure only acts to change the effective social status of the character (this has been approached in other games since, with varying degrees of success), the highly flavorful magic system, and (for me at least) the detailed travel rules, with parties taking time for breaks during the day's march, an extensive table of terrain and how long it takes to cross the various types, and so on. Combined with the "travel fatigue" rules of Lace & Steel, above, and the wilderness survival rules found in some Traveller supplements, I would be in some bliss.
Traveller: Most roleplaying games include the concept of increasing a character's personal abilities through "experience" or similar victory point systems, to the point that computer RPGs are partially defined by this feature. Traveller provides an interesting alternative to this method of character advancement. In this game, characters increase in power through acquiring wealth, building networks of contacts and favors, and so forth rather than through increasing their personal abilities. Advancement is also not tied to any predetermined abstract scheme (gaining victory points for finding treasure or completing story goals or whatever), but is concretely related to what the characters do in the setting. This doesn't mean that the characters can't increase in skill over time, but the timeframe is much longer than most other RPGs choose, and also is not tied to any action the characters perform other than pursuing that skill increase. MegaTraveller allows for more experience-based advancement, but the timeframe is still incredibly long compared to other RPGs. This helps add to the sense of the game that time passes while the characters work on long-term problems. The game has a long history and includes a number of excellent supplements, too, ranging from detailed survival rules in the "Environment" series from Gamelords to the excellent player-facing dynastic game found in the Pocket Empires supplement for the fourth edition of the game.
There are likely other games that I could include (CORPS comes to mind), but generally the principles that I think that they present are too difficult to explain. Obviously, a game designer should be conversant in a wide number of games in order to have a body of ideas on which to draw and then fit to the particular game being designed.
[EDIT 9 Mar 2019] I have taken the perhaps extreme action of removing one of the entries that was in this list. I find myself unable, in good conscience, to continue to promote the particular game. I will consider adding in a replacement shortly.


Welcome to A to G Piano and Keyboard Tuition. If you are a beginner looking for enjoyable and inexpensive/low-cost music lessons, then as my slogan reads, I can provide "fun and affordable piano and keyboard lessons". I am both a piano teacher as well as a keyboard teacher located on the east side of Southampton, and my prices start from as little as £10.50 per lesson.
Learn to play straight away on my baby grand piano or on one of my keyboards using sheet music composed specifically for your own ability.
Understand musical theory to support the reading of sheet music and navigation of the instrument.
Optionally take exams to consolidate your progress.
At my music studio in Southampton, I offer tuition on my baby grand piano or keyboards, to students ranging in ability from absolute beginners and onwards. As well as adults of all ages, I welcome children aged 7 and upwards who want to learn to play the piano or keyboard.
My teaching philosophy is to guide and support students to play recognisable and enjoyable music at an early stage. To support this, I have compiled my own arrangements of popular pieces that are easier to read and play. I can also provide colour coded sheet music, or sheet music with note names, for beginners who find normal notation too challenging at first. I also support students wishing to take ABRSM graded music exams since I realise this can provide structure, goals and qualifications that can be highly motivating. During 2017, my students who took exams achieved a total of 23 passes, including 12 merits and 4 distinctions. I am so proud of them!
The lessons can be taken either in a class with one or two other students of similar ability, or if preferred, on a one-to-one basis. Contact details can be found here. Price and other frequently asked questions can be found here.
My name is Sylvia Ede and I have been playing piano since the age of seven. I passed grade 8 final at the age of fifteen and have since been teaching.
As well as classical music, I am interested in playing traditional/swing jazz, as well as popular music.
Growing increasingly interested in playing popular music, I started to play/teach using electronic keyboards, taking advantage of rhythm, voice and chorded accompanyment.
I am also interested in composing music. I also rearrange music to suit the individual needs of my students.
This pricing is for private one-to-one tuition. Payment is expected during the lesson itself, but if the student prefers to pay in advance then that is also acceptable. Pricing for classes depends on class sizes so please contact me directly for this information.
See the pricing section here.
I aim to have between two and three students in each class.
How frequent are the classes?
Most classes would be run once a week.
Students can stay with a class for as long as needed.
Should I join a class or have private tuition?
Classes are the cheaper option but of course my time is divided between students. Classes are also a way of sharing experiences with students of similar ability and this usually helps to create an atmosphere of encouragement and support. Private tuition, although more expensive, is better if you cannot commit to a regular day and time for a class.
Please contact me for latest information.
I can try to assess you during a phone conversation, otherwise, you could book a private lesson during which I can make a more accurate assessment.
Should I start playing on a piano or keyboard?
The choice is up to you and really depends on your aspirations. I find keyboards to be more practical and flexible than a piano in many ways, and that is why I continue to use them for teaching. My keyboards have full size touch sensitive keys and for the student wishing to play piano pieces, they are suitable for beginner/intermediate lessons. If progressing to an advanced level, the student can transition to piano with relative ease. If you are still unsure, then I can help you decide.
For private tuition, I would accept payment during the lesson. For classes, I aim to take payment for 4 lessons at a time, but I am quite flexible.
By cash or cheque made payable to Mrs S. Ede.
I am really pleased with my daughter's piano teacher Sylvia Ede. On her first lesson she was given two specially arranged popular tunes and using the colour system she was able to play both hands together immediately. In the following weeks my daughter was taught to read music without the colours and she is progressing so well that she is looking forward to sitting for the Royal Schools of Music examinations later on this year.
Sylvia is very patient and works well in understanding how my daughter likes to learn. My daughter trusts her and more importantaly likes her. I have no problem in leaving my daughter with Sylvia as she always comes out of her lesson happy.
With Sylvia's simple colour coding scheme and easy arrangements, I managed to start playing with both hands after only 4 x 30min lessons!

Canon Pixma MG2950 Driver Download. For printing documents and text, the Pixma MG2950 is halfway useful, but you have to put up with limitations: The ink takes some time to dry and the bottom edge is trimmed very high, which may require you to use more sheets. Besides, he is relatively loud. The photo print quality is fine, but you can print on the photo paper with the device only up to the format of 10 x 15 cm. A4 printing on photo paper and borderless printing are not possible. As a pure photo printer, it is almost useless. Even when copying, the bottom edge is cut too high up. The quality is fine, although not quite true to the original color copies.
A little patience you have to bring along for scanning and copying with the Pixma as well. Over 3 euros printing costs for 100 pages in black and white are far too expensive given the print quality offered. The price is only okay if you print very rarely. But then there is still the danger that the ink will dry out in the meantime. A new set of original cartridges costs almost as much as the printer itself. Accordingly, the color print is downright sinful expensive. As with black and white printing: This is only acceptable if you really rarely prints.
The printing and scanning functions offered are fine, but a duplex printing function would have been desirable in any case. Because unfortunately you have to manually turn the pages manually when printing on both sides. This Pixma MG2950 can be integrated directly into the home network via WLAN. The support for WLAN direct printing is also practical. In addition, it can still be connected via USB to the PC, only a classic cable network connection is missing. The paper tray only has room for 60 sheets. A fairly small amount, but with the low cartridge range and the high cost of printing whole novels anyway not recommended.
Drivers Installation: Opposite statements I find in the customer reviews for installation. Some praise the simple setup, others complain about a lack of documentation and problems with the WLAN. One thing is clear: The manual does not help with problems. And attention: Linux is not supported! The operation of the pleasantly compact device is solved acceptable and really modern, the interface does not work. Löblich I think before, after all, that the switch really takes the device completely from the stream.


Google has barely revealed the official name of the next version of its mobile system Android Oreo. It makes sense that the company already works on a successor. The first signs of the update that will replace Oreo appeared on Wednesday (30) on the web, more precisely on the Android Open Source Project. The repository through which Google distributes preliminary versions of its operating systems cited Android P for the first time. It could be version Android 9 of the platform. One of the references indicates that the company has already tested a version code named "P" in the device "Marlin" and the code name of the Pixel X.
The earlier versions of these codes also indicate that the letter "P" appears instead of the letter "O". Reinforcing the idea, that Google already has an Android P in the oven. The phrase master is P only which gives its name to the topic is another indication that the version that will succeed Oreo is in development. Everything is still at primary level and there is no way to predict any new features to add on the platform that will replace Android Oreo. We have to wait for the next rumors.
2 Android P: What's the Rumored Key Features Of Android V9.0?
3 Android 9 Release Date – When we see Android P?
It looks like we are thinking about it, and yet there are some who have already started talking about Android 9.0 and suggesting the dessert name that will be inspired by Google. Only a niche of Android users in the world has already put their hands on the tasty update of Oreo. According to recent rumors, Big G is starting to work on the next version of the operating system that might be called Pancake. The source of the news from rumors discovered a project in Android Open Source. It seems that Google is testing Android P on Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL among the first devices to receive the update of Android 8.0.
Here is the list of smartphones that will receive upgrades and roll out timings. In the codes, a supposed Oreo update with corrections was also detected that is Android 8.1. Google may have already completed work on Android version 8.1 that will be launched with the new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, just as Nougat 7.1 was launched with the first generation of Google smartphones by skipping upgrade 7.0.
Android P: What's the Rumored Key Features Of Android V9.0?
Movable search bar and date widgets.
More customization than the other Android Operating System.
Make the Pixel Launcher available on all devices.
Android 9 Release Date – When we see Android P?
It is too early to tell what will happen with Android 9. If the company releases it without a previous version 8.1, the discovery in the AOSP reveals. That Google already has a list of features to point to next release of its mobile OS. The new version of the green robotic will be presented during the Google I / O 2018 scheduled for May. With the arrival of Android 8.0 at the doorstep, treating the topic features and novelties of Android P is premature. A part of the name can consider without too much seriousness. Nowadays the tradition means that the major updates of the green robotic operating system are called sweet. Which dessert with letter P will be picked by the Mountain View giant for the next Android version of 2018? Here are some speculations waiting for official news.
This is the most popular name for the Android Oreo successor. It seems in fact that Google has chosen Pancake since 2013. Android 9 Pancake sounds good and comes to mind a sweetly loved and popular sweet all over the world to receive a warm welcome. Other usable names on the list are Android 9.0 Peanut, Android 9 Popsicle, Android 9 Praline and Android 9 Profiterole though in this case the name like the same sweet could be pretentious. There are also those who have advanced the hypothesis of Android 9 Popsicle. It is a very famous icicles brand in the US. It would not be the first time that Google exploits the name of a brand for its mobile OS. Popsicle could be a priceless choice considering we had KitKat and Oreo.
Finally, another reference comes from the conversation between two developers. It is possible to assume that the debated version between them is not fixed for Oreo, as an Android 8.1, but rather a major update that should be even Android P.

NF1 deletion generates multiple subtypes of soft-tissue sarcoma that respond to mek inhibition
Dodd, RD, Mito, JK, Eward, WC, Chitalia, R, Sachdeva, M, Ma, Y, Barretina, J, Dodd, L and Kirsch, DG (2013) NF1 deletion generates multiple subtypes of soft-tissue sarcoma that respond to mek inhibition. MOLECULAR CANCER THERAPEUTICS. pp. 1906-1917.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1158/1535-7163.MCT-13-0189
Soft-tissue sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors arising from connective tissue. Recently, mutations in the neurofibromin 1 (NF1) tumor suppressor gene were identified in multiple subtypes of human soft-tissue sarcomas. To study the effect of NF1 inactivation in the initiation and progression of distinct sarcoma subtypes, we have developed a novel mouse model of temporally and spatially restricted NF1-deleted sarcoma. To generate primary sarcomas, we inject adenovirus containing Cre recombinase into NF1 flox/flox; Ink4a/Arfflox/flox mice at two distinct orthotopic sites: intramuscularly or in the sciatic nerve. The mice develop either high-grade myogenic sarcomas or malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST)-like tumors, respectively. These tumors reflect the histologic properties and spectrum of sarcomas found in patients. To explore the use of this model for preclinical studies, we conducted a study of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway inhibition with the MEK inhibitor PD325901. Treatment with PD325901 delays tumor growth through decreased cyclin D1 mRNA and cell proliferation. We also examined the effects of MEK inhibition on the native tumor stroma and find that PD325901 decreases VEGFalpha expression in tumor cells with a corresponding decrease in microvessel density. Taken together, our results use a primary tumor model to show that sarcomas can be generated by loss of NF1 and Ink4a/Arf, and that these tumors are sensitive to MEK inhibition by direct effects on tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment. These studies suggest that MEK inhibitors should be further explored as potential sarcoma therapies in patients with tumors containing NF1 deletion. 2013 American Association for Cancer Research

Q: Questions about making 'if user is online' system Please help start in the right way . I want to add 'if user is online' system. Which I will use to prevent multiple logins under 1 name, also this system will add option to users showing them who is online at the moment.
I understand that I need mysql table where I will store online users. But how can I understand each second if user is still here? if he logs out then ok, it's easy, but if he will restart? or something else ? So how can I controll all users and understand per second their status ?
UPDATE After some discussions with Cupcake I decided to have only who's online feature, letting 1 user to log in multiple times, cause it's difficult to prevent him from doing that in a comfortable way.

A: renew this table record each time user requests a page, updating access time field.
delete from this table all records which access time field is older than some reasonable timeout like 5 min
to prevent multiple logins under 1 name you have to store session id in the users table.
when user logins, stire current session id in this field
every time user requests a page, compare this id against actual session id, and make user relogin

A: What you could do, which is what I sometimes do, is this, in the user table have a column named session_hash or something similar.
And each time the user logs in, generate a new session hash yourself or use the session_id PHP has, as long as you use session_start on each page.
Then to retrieve the users row from the database, have a cookie with that session_hash.

Example
Login form
Username:  [       ]
Password:  [       ]
Remember?: [*]
           [ Login ]

PHP page does the following
User logs in ->
  System generates a session_id or "salt"
  Updates the users row with the session_id or "salt" value

  Check if the value of the "remember" checkbox is true ->
    Sets a cookie with that session_id or "salt" with a month or so expiration date
  Otherwise just create a normal cookie with the value

Then on each page do the following
Check if the session_id or "salt" cookie is set ->
  If it is, fetch the users row from the database
    SELECT * FROM users WHERE session_id/"salt" = value of cookie

What all this does if lets the user choose if they want to be remembered each visit, if they do create a cookie that doesn't expire for at least a month that way they will be remembered next time they come to the site, but if they login from another browser or computer the "salt" won't be valid on the other computer.

A: Simply invalidate all old sessions of the user, once he opens a new one. In that way, he can only run one session (aka one login) at a time.

(The Imam Fainted) Eggplants stuffed with vegetables.
There are many stories about the origin of the name of this Turkish dish. Here is one of them. A long time ago there lived a Turkish imam, well known for his appetite and love of good food. One day he surprised his friends by announcing his engagement to the beautiful young daughter of a rich olive oil merchant. At this stage, the imam's friends were not aware of her abilities as a cook. Part of her dowry was a consignment of the very finest olive oil. The wealthy merchant gave the groom twelve great jars of the prized oil, each one as big as a man.
Following the wedding, the young daughter quickly revealed her talents as a Turkish cook and every day prepared a special dish for her new food-loving husband. Stuffed eggplants in olive oil were his absolute favorite, and so he asked his wife to make it for him every night as the centerpiece of his dinner. Being a good wife, she did as she was told, and made the delicious dish for twelve days in a row. On the thirteenth day, however, when the imam sat down to dinner, his favorite eggplant dish was starkly absent. The imam demanded to know the reason for its disappearance. The bride replied, "My dear husband, I cannot make your favorite dish anymore, for we have no more olive oil. You will have to buy some more." The lmam was so shocked by the news that he fainted. And so ever since that day, his favorite dish has become known as 'Imam Bayildi' (the imam fainted).
Wash the eggplants and remove the stems. Peel the skin lengthwise in ½ inch strips to give them a nice striped effect. This will help the eggplants absorb the flavors while cooking. Cut a long slit in the middle of each eggplant, being careful not to cut through to the bottom. Fry the eggplants over high heat for about 5 minutes until they are lightly browned all over, but still nice and firm. Then, remove them from the pan and transfer them immediately to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Prepare the stuffing.
In a separate skillet, pour 2 tbsp of olive oil. Add the sliced garlic and cook over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until lightly browned. Add sliced green peppers, sliced tomatoes, chopped parsley, and some lemon juice. Put a lid on it and cook over medium-high heat. When the tomatoes are tender, sprinkle salt and pepper and turn the heat off. Carefully open the slit on each eggplant and fill it with the stuffing. Arrange the stuffed eggplants in a baking pan. Preheat the oven to 275-300F (135-150С) degrees, and bake eggplants for about 30 minutes.
Serve warm with rice or fried potatoes.

And He Hauls

EDITOR'S NOTE: As we do from time to time, today we dig into the Faith and Fear archives and share posts that some of our longtime readers might get a kick out of seeing again or our newer readers might enjoy checking out for the first time. This one originally ran on April 4, 1978, part of an annual series we still publish to this day [1].
Unless you were busy playing the clarinet at Michael's Pub, you are well aware the Oscars were handed out Monday night [2]. Thus, per Tuesday morning-after tradition [3], the Academy pauses to remember those Mets who have, in the baseball sense, left us in the past year.
Cue the montage…
LUIS CESAR ALVARADO
Infielder
In case you thought we were never going to see a new Met all year, given how we didn't exactly charge hard after free agents once the re-entry draft was complete or go nuts on the trade market before, during or after the Winter Meetings, rest easy. Or sit up psyched if you so choose. We got to see our first fresh-for-'77 Met today, Luis Alvarado, erstwhile Red Sock, White Sock, Indian and Cardinal. Double-switched in at second base by Frazier in the sixth, Luis became the 255th Met to date. Seeing as how we were already down by six runs when he entered and went on to lose by only four, we can label Alvarado's initial presence a net positive.
(Sold to Tigers, 4/27/1977)
GEORGE FRANCIS "Doc" MEDICH
Starting Pitcher
From the lousy A's to the wretched Mariners to the decrepit Mets. What a trip around the baseball sun for Medich. Everybody's favorite medical student/baseball player drops by to give us seven perfectly adequate innings in another loss, our 96th of the season, as if we needed consultation gathering those. Per Doc's other vocation, perhaps he was able to give the club a thorough physical examination to discover what's been wrong with it. Or maybe we need to find a pitcher who's studying to become a mortician. The sooner we can bury 1977, the better.
(Free agent, 11/2/1977; signed with Rangers, 11/11/1977)
LEONARD NORRIS "Leo" FOSTER
August 1, 1976 – October 2, 1977
And as if a nine-run edge wasn't enough to cram into bookbags across the Metropolitan Area as the kids head reluctantly back to school tomorrow, the last ember of this Bicentennial summer gave us one final firework, albeit of the afternoon variety: Foster hit his first home run of the season, off Joe Coleman in the ninth. It was a two-run shot that padded our lead to 11-0 and upped Leo's RBI accumulation on the day at Wrigley to five, while doubling his lifetime longball total. Coleman won twenty games twice in the American League. He gave up his share of home runs in the process, but likely not mopping up in 9-0 games and almost assuredly not to a whole lot of Leo Fosters.
(Traded to Red Sox, 3/29/1978)
RICKEY ALAN "Rick" BALDWIN
Relief Pitcher
April 10, 1975 – October 2, 1977
I'm just gonna say it: 45 looks wrong on Rick Baldwin. It would look wrong on anybody not named Tug McGraw (just as the mere idea of Tug in a Philadelphia uniform is…shudder). That Baldwin posted a scoreless inning in defeat in his major league debut doesn't make it look right. Kid, we wanna root for you, but you gotta believe it would be easier if you weren't reminding us of whose number you're now wearing and how we no longer have him on our side. Maybe grab a word with Herb Norman and explain to the equipment manager that a rookie doesn't need the added pressure, however subliminal/numerical, of replacing a legend. On the plus side, I am impressed we finally have a Met who shares a name with a Metropolitan Area municipality — on Long Island, no less! This could be the start of a trend. Maybe we've got a Rocky Rockville Centre working his way up from Visalia.
(Selected by Mariners in Rule 5 draft, 12/5/1977)
ROY JOSEPH STAIGER
Third Baseman
September 12, 1975 – October 1, 1977
It was hard for me to not be excited about Roy Staiger once he was called up last September. I'd followed him and his International League-leading 81 RBIs at Tidewater via The Sporting News every week and now I wanted to board his nonstop train to stardom as it was pulling out of the Willets Point station, next stop stardom. Alas, Roy batted .158 during his callup and drove in nobody. I stayed excited anyway. It was just a callup. Well, he's batting .182 with a total of five runs batted in this year after today's loss, leading me to admit something I didn't expect to conclude: it's not that hard for me to not be excited about Roy Staiger anymore. (Excitement level subject to change, natch.)
(Traded to Yankees, 12/9/1977)
JACKSON A. TODD
May 5, 1977 – September 30, 1977
"After months of not being able to raise up, not being able to eat, wondering if I would live, much less run or pitch again," Jackson told reporters afterward, "it's hard to get excited over winning a game." Once you've beaten cancer, maybe beating the Giants shouldn't be that big a deal. Todd's done both as of Thursday night. We can leave it to the young righthander to place an appropriate value on each achievement as he sees fit.
(Traded to Phillies, 3/27/1978)
MICHAEL DWAYNE "Mike" PHILLIPS
May 8, 1975 – June 15, 1977
It was the May of Mike. He batted .314, including a 3-for-3 Saturday night to close out his first calendar month as a Met. We continue to wish Buddy and his balky right knee a speedy recovery, but you don't think he'd mind if we did some writing in on our All-Star ballots when we get to the shortstop slot, do you?
(Traded to Cardinals, 6/15/1977)
RAYMOND MICHAEL "Ray" SADECKI
April 10, 1970 – September 20, 1974
April 9, 1977 – April 23, 1977
For the fifth time, we've welcomed back a former Met to be a Met again. The first one was Frank Lary. The most recent was Bob Miller (the righty, if you're scoring at home). In between there was Al Jackson and Jim Gosger. Now it's Sadecki who's in reruns, so to speak. Giving up a game-tying homer in the eighth to Bobby Murcer wasn't exactly the way to reintroduce himself to us, but soon the guy for whom he was traded when his first tenure ended, Joe Torre, made it all right by doubling in the pair of tiebreaking runs that ensured we'd go 2-0 on the year. There's a long way to go, but that shouldn't be news to Ray. In his eighteenth big league season and second term as a Met, he's already come a long way.
(Released, 5/2/1977; retired)
MICHAEL LEWIS "Mike" VAIL
August 18, 1975 – October 1, 1977
So it ends at 23. I have to admit I thought it would pass 56. Well, not really, but I refused to believe Vail's streak would ever end. Until Tuesday night we had little proof to the contrary. Going 0-for-7 over eighteen innings provides us uninvited evidence that nothing lasts forever. The game eventually ended. The streak inevitably ceased. Vail's still here, though, and next year will join him soon enough.
(Selected by Indians off waivers, 3/26/1978)
JOSEPH PAUL "Joe" TORRE
April 8, 1975 – June 17, 1977
No strikeouts. That's the good Joe Torre news tonight. Oh, he put the bat on the ball. He also didn't bother any Astros outfielder, in case you were worried about troubling Messrs. Cabell, Howard and Gross. You might say Joe executed the most memorable ground game at Shea since Snell and Boozer were rushing the Jets toward Super Bowl III. Four ground balls. Eight outs. That'll happen when you ground into four double plays, a record for such futility. Joe basically chuckled about the octuple-killing later and blamed Felix Millan for singling in front of each of his four at-bats. Ha. Ha. Ha. And ha. I was so amused I muffled a scream lest I disturb the neighbors (they're disturbed enough already). Sometimes you have to laugh. Ten games in back of the Pirates at this point and continually failing to pick up, if you'll excuse the expression, ground, I'd suggest this is not one of those times.
(Released, 6/18/1977; retired as player while continuing to manage)
JOHN DAVID MILNER
First Baseman-Outfielder
They had a Hammer? We had a Hammer. Aaron's homer in the sixth was the 698th of his career. Milner's in the ninth was No. 30 for him overall. John (a son of Atlanta, no less) found himself 668 behind his namesake. The Mets suddenly found themselves just two runs behind their opponents. Four were in, one was out and, for a change this summer, the nails in the Mets' coffin weren't hammered so deep that they couldn't be pried upward…sort of like the Mets' chances.
(Traded to Pirates, 12/8/1977)
FELIX BERNARDO MILLAN
Second Baseman
April 6, 1973 – August 12, 1977
The certificate for Perfect Attendance goes to Mr. Millan. Of course Felix is present for the ceremony. He shows up to school every day, rain or shine, whether the buses are running or the drivers are on strike. None of his classmates has to bring him his homework, though I'll bet he's happy to drop off theirs to them as needed. Hardly misses an inning, rarely misses a pitch. Yes, Felix is a very conscientious student.
(Sold to Taiyo Whales, 2/22/1978)
DAVID ARTHUR "Dave" KINGMAN
Outfielder-First Baseman
From Colts Neck in New Jersey to Mammaroneck in Westchester to Little Neck in Queens and neighboring Great Neck in Nassau, all Mets fan necks are craning and straining and possibly paining from watching Kingman clout. Yet nobody's complaining. Side effects contracted from watching home runs soar through the sky are giddily endured in these parts. Dave has seven in our first nine games. We'll take two Tylenol tonight and call him for more in the morning — or Monday night in St. Louis. Asking him to go deep between games is probably too much to ask of the greatest slugger we've ever had. Probably.
(Traded to Padres, 6/15/1977)
JONATHAN TRUMPBOUR "Jon" MATLACK
July 11, 1971 – September 30, 1977
Yogi let Jon pitch into the tenth. Why not? The first nine were typical Matlack: two runs, none earned, not winning. What little October the Mets had remaining looked a lot like September where their starter was concerned. He won by shutout twice and lost four other outings despite never giving up more than three earned runs in any of them. Typical Mets. Characteristic ending to this year, too. Matlack's Closing Day tenth inning yielded one cheap run on two singles and a sac fly. When Gene Garber retired the Mets in the bottom of what proved to be their last inning of 1974, it guaranteed a losing record of 13-15 for Jon despite an ERA of 2.41. Some statistics are more revealing than others.
(Traded to Rangers, 12/8/1977)
GERALD WAYNE "Jerry" GROTE
April 15, 1966 – August 23, 1977
We're crazy about these pitchers, but let's save some championship-caliber insanity for the catcher who caught every pitch they threw in this World Series and, for that matter, the playoffs. Grote doesn't hit for power like a Bench or a Hundley, but he catches most everything and everybody. Did you notice who caught Koosman when the lefty leapt in victory yesterday? Jerry Grote, that's who. Didn't drop him, either.
(Traded to Dodgers, 8/31/1977)
DERRELL McKINLEY "Bud" HARRELSON
September 2, 1965 – October 2, 1977
No, you shouldn't have whiskey bottles or any other objects flung in your general or, for that matter, specific direction on a baseball field or any field. That doesn't feel as if it merits an explicit explanation. We absolutely do not condone that type of behavior. Yet when you've slammed into Buddy Harrelson for no reason other than your club is down seven runs and has been outscored 14-2 over the past game-and-a-half, you've essentially brought bad karma and outraged animus upon yourself. We love our Mets. We adore our shortstop. We wouldn't be here without our indefatigable mighty mite and we know it. Thus, as Jim Croce might have put it had he been from New York, you don't mess around with Bud. No, Charlie Hustle, that was not a heads-up play. And it's not our fault the Reds' heads are up their asses and on the brink of elimination. But let's not throw junk at this jerk. He's not worth the wear and tear on our rotator cuffs.
GEORGE THOMAS "Tom" SEAVER
April 13, 1967 – June 12, 1977
There he was, for the world to see. No. 41 of the Mets on the mound at Anaheim Stadium, the eyes of baseball upon him. Upon one of ours. Nobody was laughing. Nothing to laugh at here. This was Tom Seaver, All-Star pitcher, the first time a New York Met has been one of those. We've never had a pitcher deemed worthy of representing the National League. We've never had a Seaver. We do now. The world knows it. The American League has surely been clued in. It took until the fifteenth inning for them to find out, but every explorer from Leif Ericson to Jim Lovell would be compelled to testify that discovery is discovery, however long it takes a person to do the discovering. Tom flied Tony Conigliaro to left, walked Carl Yastrzemski (the better part of valor the way Yaz has been going), flied Bill Freehan to center and, finally, struck out Ken Berry to preserve the NL's 2-1 triumph. Tony Perez connected for the decisive blow, Don Drysdale gets credit for the win, but make no mistake about it. Tom Seaver's rise to the All-Star occasion was the story of the fading Southern California afternoon. After six seasons, a Met stood in the middle of a Midsummer Classic and succeeded. This Met like no Met before him. He'll do it again, you can bet with confidence, and those games will count for more than Senior Circuit bragging rights. After what we've seen from him so far, you underestimate Tom Seaver at your own risk. Something tells me, regardless of what day it is [1], that there'll be no fooling around when it comes to this guy.

Lovett has been touring in support of Release Me since its release in February, 2012. The album was #1 for several weeks on the Americana charts. Produced by Nathaniel Kunkel and Lovett, Release Me represents the end of an era as it was his last record for Curb/Universal Music Group after being on the label for his entire career. Release Me is quintessential Lyle, mixing a smart collection of originals and songs written by some of his favorite songwriters that show not only the breadth of this Texas legend's deep talents, but also the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most infectious and fascinating musicians in popular music.


A number of meaty details have been revealed for Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, courtesy of the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) which updated the game's listing today.
The upcoming Mature-rated installment is going to have players follow a character named Ethan, as he anxiously explores a "derelict mansion" in search of his missing wife.
The ESRB description, which has since then been taken down, also specifically mentioned the game to be a "survival-horror" experience in first-person perspective. Players will be able to wield an assortment of weaponry; including pistols, shotguns, flamethrowers, explosives, and chainsaws.
According to the listing, the game carries a lot of cutscenes depicting "gore and intense acts of violence." As examples, it cited a scene where a character's arm is cut through by a chainsaw and another where a character is impaled through the face with a shovel. Sounds like death scenes for the player, if he/she fails to survive the "mutant creatures" of the mysterious mansion.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is slated for an official release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on January 24.


Recently, I was attempting to diagnose why the kube-apiserver was not connecting to an etcd cluster for a path override. I exec'ed into the pod and installed and ran tcpdump and saw no attempt at all to even establish a connection with that server. This caused me to spend a bunch of time following a red herring, thinking there was a problem with the path override code.
It turned out, however, that there was no problem with the path override code. Instead (what I still consider to be a bug) it only attempts to make the connection when it first starts up but never tries again.
In order to catch that attempt, I needed to run tcpdump much earlier than I could possibly exec in to the running pod. The solution I found was to install a sidecar container that ran tcpdump.
This allowed me to capture any traffic destined for that host and see that it was, indeed, trying to connect once (and only once ever).
Turned out the problem was actually that the installation tool I was using had changed the hostname of the etcd nodes and I worked around it with a CNAME, forgetting to change the ssl certificate to match the new name.
Still, using a sidecar to load a diagnostic tool can be quite a handy tool to keep in your arsenal.
