People with the power top love the ease and hate that it takes a couple minutes to raise and lower. People with manual tops hate the strain, but itís up in 10 seconds.
Tops are different at each location. They buy from different suppliers. I have both a Fresno top on one econoline and a Texas top on the other. Subtle differences like the Texas top is completely flat on top on the outside whereas the CA top looks ribbed. They are pretty much the same inside. Except the top I have on a Chevy allows for storing a 2Ē memory foam mattress on top of the penthouse bed with the top down and itís amazing.
Our penthouse was installed two years ago in Fresno, we were told that they no longer build them without the powered mechanism. The roof goes up to 8', higher than the Eurovan camper we had with a manual top that went up at an angle with gas shocks.
I strongly suggest the power top. I thought I'd save the money, but in my case (139" wb Promaster) the springs they put in began to relax after a year, and the top would occasionally come down if the bed were secured to the top.
So now I have to tie the top off with a strap to ensure it won't do that, and I have an appointment with SB Texas to put the power lift in - hopefully the motor drive will be a bit stiffer.

How hard is it to play pro football? If you ask Kansas City RB Larry Johnson, he'll tell you that it's not hard at all. Here's Larry and we won't say who he's ripping (Chiefs Coach Herm Edwards): "I learned a long time ago about coaches. They're always going to do what they want to do. It's usually an ego thing rather than trying to be better. Football is easy. It's not a chess game, it's checkers." L.J. is 30th in rushing. Apparently the Chiefs have forgotten how to say "kingsies."
OAKLAND AT MIAMI
Gangreene Game of the Week: The Dolphins are winless, so naturally they think they can't lose. LB Joey Porter: "Write it how you want to write it. We will win on Sunday." OK, pal Joey, here's how I want to write it: "Daunte Culpepper fries Fish."
JERRY SAYS: Upset, Raiders by 7.
TAMPA BAY AT CAROLINA
The Bucs are nutso, too, but at least have two wins to back it up. DT Chris Hovan on last week's win: "I can't believe they pay me for that. It was raining. There was blood. That's Buc defense." Note to myself: Don't invite Hovan to Christmas party.
JERRY SAYS: Panthers by 5.
BALTIMORE AT CLEVELAND
Brownies Coach Romeo "Where for art thou?" Crennel may be on to something: "We have to do a better job of getting those guys to understand where they need to be so that we can stop the run." Here's a tip -- be within 10 yards of the ball.
JERRY SAYS: Ravens by 8.
CHICAGO AT DETROIT
The season has barely begun and Lions RB Kevin Jones says he has a goal: "To manage the pain and the swelling. I probably won't be 100 percent this year. I don't feel totally 100 but I feel good." Preaching to the choir, Kev. It's like I have a twin.
JERRY SAYS: Da Bears by 6.

JERRY SAYS: Evil Ones by 25.
Uh-huh, uh-huh. It's getting there. Not exactly a well-oiled machine, yet, but finally off there "break even" run by going 10-6 straight up (26-22 for season) despite continued ineptitude by Da Bears and Da 'Aints. And it was a strange week against the spread at 6-6-4 (18-23-7 for season). You put it all together and come to only one conclusion: "Can you smell what the Prognosticator is cookin'?"
BEATING ON JERRY
The thumping wasn't too bad despite 2,002 players as the entries continue to increase in pursuit of prizes and personal glory. Getting the glory this week was George Schreffler of Winter Springs. George was one of eight who had 14-2 records, and even the tie-breakers couldn't, uh, break the tie. So he won in a random drawing. Good and lucky, George, so you get the coveted "I Beat Jerry" T-shirt to impress friends and strangers alike. Everyone can take a shot at me at OrlandoSentinel.sportsballot.com - so make your move.

At first glance, Spacecom looks like a very simple strategy game.
There are just three different unit types, everything is drawn with geometric shapes, there are no tech trees to climb, and battles are often done and dusted in about half an hour.
It's almost as simple as number-crunching territories game Galco. You're conquering nearby planets and extending your intergalactic reach until you can overwhelm your opponent's base.
But you'll soon find that there's way more to it than just trading numbers.That's no moon…
There are different planet types - some that make ships, others that repair them, and ones that generate resources. And there are different ways to defend your colony, including kinetic shields and troops on the ground.
Plus you can destroy planets so no one gets to use them, your ships move faster on territory you own, and you can steal resources as they zip around the map. There's a lot to juggle.
Luckily, the game teaches you everything slowly in a light campaign that will last you a few hours. Then, you'll be ready to jump into the main event - randomised skirmishes and online duels with up to six commanders on the same map.Triangular warfare
The game's simple graphics and controls work well on mobile, but they're not without issue.
Representing the different units as slightly different triangles can make them hard to distinguish. And units won't turn around mid-way between planets - annoying if you make a strategic mishap, infuriating if you make an errant tap.
But, small issues aside, Spacecom gets a lot out of its simple set-up, and offers a impressive amount of depth for a game with just three units.
Those with a taste for 4X sci-fi epics might still find it a tad lacking, but if you're looking for something between, say, Sins of Solar Empire and Galcon, Spacecom offers a happy middle ground.

Tesco has confirmed workers at two of its Inverness stores have tested positive for Covid-19.
The supermarket giant has confirmed staff members at its Extra stores on Eastfield Way and in Inshes have contracted the virus.
“The safety of our colleagues, customers and suppliers remains our number one priority and we are working with local public health authorities, following all Scottish Government guidance, including when colleagues need to self-isolate, and taking the relevant precautions.
“We have extensive measures across all of our stores to help keep everyone safe, including protective screens at every checkout, a traffic light system at our store entrance monitoring numbers, social distancing signage and regular cleaning.”
It is understood that only one case has been reported at both stores.
The positive cases come after the supermarket giant moved to make the wearing of face masks at its stores mandatory for customers unless medically exempt.
Customers are also being urged to shop alone in a bid to curb the number of shoppers gathering.
Aldi, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsburys have also followed suit.

In order to prevent or minimize the occurrence of fire
accidents, the basic knowledge of fire should be known. Fires can be classified
into five main categories based on the type of materials that initiates the
start of fire. (I) Class A fires
usually used to classify the type of fire in ordinary combustible materials
(wood, cloth, paper, rubber and plastics). (II)
Fire in flammable liquids, gases, oil, and paint are classified as Class B fires. (III) Class C fires involves energized
electrical equipment non-conductivity of the extinguishing agent. And (IV) Class D fires are the fires that occur
in the combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium and
etc. (V) Class K fires are the most
dangerous fire as it deals with cooking oils and greases.
For Class A fires, it is often occur in food storage rooms,
dining areas, restrooms, and refuse storage areas. Some of the fire scenarios
that can be classified as Class A fires are such as fire started in a trash can
which ignited by a cigarette butt or a
plastic container that comes in contact with a range burner. This class of fire
can be easily put out by water based (water and foam or water mist) or a dry
chemical based fire extinguisher. Water and foam or water mist extinguishers
extinguish the fire by removing the heat element. As for the dry chemical, it
interrupts he chemical reaction of the fire triangle.
For Class B fires, the fire often occurs in the maintenance
areas. As an example, aerosol cans exploding due to the storing location very
near to a heat source. This type of fire can be put out by carbon dioxide based
and dry chemical based fire extinguisher.
Class C fires related to electrical equipment, for instance,
when frayed cord comes in contact with water while the machine is still
operating, or overheating of a toaster that caught a fire. Fire extinguishers
with non-conductive materials can be used to extinguish the fire such as carbon
dioxide based fire extinguishers.
As for Class D fires in which combustible metals are
involved, only dry powder extinguishers can be used. These extinguishers are
similar to dry chemical except that they extinguish the fire by separating the
fuel from the oxygen element or by removing the heat element of the fire
triangle. However, they are ineffective on all other classes of fires.
Lastly, Class K fires which often occurs in kitchen; flames
from a grill igniting grease deposits on a hood filter or leaving a frying pan
unattended on the stove. Grease fire can get out of control quickly and spread
from the stove throughout the kitchen into other rooms of the house. Grease
fire can caused serious injury and extensive property damage. Wet chemical of
Class K extinguishers were developed specifically for the modern, high
efficiency deep fat fryers in commercial cooking operations. The wet chemical
extinguishes fire by removing the heat of the fire triangle and prevents the re-ignition
by creating a barrier between the oxygen and fuel elements.
The sources at which the fire first started are very
important as it helps to identify the classification of fires. After knowing
the main source that causes the fire, it is important to use the correct types
of fire extinguisher to put out the fire, as materials in the extinguishers
used will either put out the fire or reacts vigorously with fire causing large
flames and smoke.

A photo of a smiling 10-month-old girl with Down syndrome has gone viral to the surprise of her mother and family.
The girl is named Florence and was born in May 2015 in England. Her mother, Kathryn Witt, told the Daily Mail that she hasn’t “stopped smiling since the day Florence came into my life.”
Witt said her little girl is constantly smiling. One day, the proud young mother decided to share a photo of Florence on Facebook. Just a few hours later, thousands of people had liked the photo, according to the report.
“My phone beeped and pinged like crazy, with people I’d never met sending me messages to say my daughter was beautiful,” she told the news outlet.
“’She’s made my family complete,” Kathryn continued. “Since the photo went viral, I still get messages from people all over the world telling me she’s made them smile too.”
While she was pregnant, Kathryn learned that her unborn baby girl was measuring small for her size, the report states. She was given scans every two weeks, and at each one, she was asked why she declined a test that could test for Down syndrome, according to the report. These prenatal screening tests have led to as many as 90 percent of unborn babies with Down syndrome being aborted.
“It made no difference to me if my baby had Down’s Syndrome or not,” Kathryn said. “As an auxiliary nurse, I knew how much love and joy a child with Down’s syndrome could give a family. That’s why I’d declined the test. If my child had special needs, I’d give her extra love.”
In May 2015, Kathryn gave birth to Florence with her partner, Dan, by her side. Their baby girl weighed 5 pounds 4 ounces, the report states.
“I said hello to my little girl, then looked up at Dan and burst into tears. I kept thanking him for giving me my perfect baby.”
She said when she could tell Florence had Down syndrome, “nothing had changed about my feelings for my baby.”
Witt continued: “Never do I worry about Down’s syndrome. I wouldn’t take away her extra chromosome if you gave me a million pounds. She was born to make the world smile. If Florence doesn’t worry about Down’s syndrome, then why should we? She’s perfect, just the way she is.”
The photo currently has nearly 200,000 likes and Kathryn is receiving comments from all around the world about how the photo made people’s day.


A Two-Stage Kalman Estimation Approach for the Identification of Large Size Structural Parameters
- 建筑土木－会议论文
A new distributed structural damage detection approach based on a two-stage Kalman estimator approach, which is not available in the previous literature, is proposed for the identification of large size structural parameters under limited input and output measurements. A large size structure is decomposed into small size substructures based on its finite element formulation and each substructure is identified by utilizing the two-stage Kalman estimator approach. It can greatly reduce the time of iteration calculation. Numerical example of identifying the parameters of a large-size plane truss bridge is conducted. Simulation results show that the proposed approach is able to identify structural systems.

Mauna Loa was Mexico City's contribution to the mid-century world of glorious, immersive Polynesian restaurants. Through a classic A-frame entry, visitors were greeted by a central pool populated with live pink flamingoes, and were entertained by a full Polynesian floor show production.
This location now appears to be an office building. There was briefly another more modern Mauna Loa elsewhere in Mexico City.

The Obama administration’s new “education equity initiative” is more likely to produce “a blizzard of paperwork than to improve the education of minority children,” writes R. Shep Melnick, a Boston College professor, in Education Next.
In a 37-page “Dear Colleague” letter, the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) demands “that each school district provide a detailed accounting of resources available to schools with varying racial demographics,” writes Melnick.
Cited in the DCL’s 63 footnotes are studies indicating that targeting large sums to high-quality programs can help disadvantaged children. But the letter virtually ignores a key question: what constitutes a high-quality program?
School leaders face a choice, he writes.
. . . they can devote abundant time and money to collecting the information that OCR demands, massaging the data to make themselves look good, and shifting money around here and there to show they are making “progress.” (For instance, the quickest way to appease OCR will be to increase the number of AP courses available to minority students, regardless of whether this is the school’s most pressing need.)
On the other hand, schools can call OCR’s bluff. They can say, “We . . . prefer to spend money on teachers than on accountants.”
Districts that lose federal funds for non-compliance can go to federal court, where they’re very likely to win, writes Melnick. They could overturn this “Dear Colleague” letter and earlier letters on sexual harassment, programs for English language learners and school discipline.

JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa has introduced its new collection of Family Suites, four suites specially created to encourage moments of family togetherness and connection. When the day is over, the Family Suites offer exclusive amenities to promote a healthier, more restful sleep for all. A part of JW Marriott’s Family by JW programming, each suite will boast two separate rooms with kid-approved loft beds, whimsical design elements and interactive surprises.
Designed by Bilkey Llinas Design, the Family Suites sleep up to nine and feature two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and full-sized, lofted bunk beds and one with a king bed with a pull-out twin sofa sleeper. The suites also include two bathrooms with tubs and separate showers as well as a living area with a guest bathroom and additional sofa bed. First-of-their-kinds for JW Marriott, the suites showcase kid-friendly elements like chalkboard walls to express creativity, a play table with a giraffe lamp and just-the-right-size blue and orange stools, as well as the perfect book nook: a cozy, circular built-in seating area with an inviting, curved orange cushion. The connecting room layout gives adults their own retreat, one still close enough to ensure quality time with little ones. Like all Family by JW offerings, the Family Suites are inspired by J. Willard “J.W.” Marriott, the namesake of the JW Marriott brand, who always made time for creating lasting memories with family and friends.
From Playtime to Bedtime, Family Suite Well-being Amenities
Even after a long day at a theme park, the excitement of a vacation makes it hard for little ones to settle their minds.

In each suite, guests will find a Skip Hop Moonlight & Melodies Nightlight Soother Owl to lull children to dream.
Booking is now open for the Family Suites and rates start at $999.

Vector graphics is the use of geometrical fundamentals such as lines, curves, etc. to represent images in computer graphics.
Vector graphics are based on vectors (also called paths), which lead through locations called control points or nodes. Which than results in a pure clean vector image on mixing and blending with colors to form a shape or design.
Vector graphics is mainly used in context of two dimensional (2D) computer graphics. It is one of the best method which our designers uses and make a vector image manually using softwares, out of a raster image. Vector images or art works are mainly used for printing purpose as vector graphics is easliy scalable and does not starts pixelating as bitmap, jpeg or any kind of images which starts losing its quality on enlarging. So getting a single file in vector format can provide you plenty of options of using that single file anywhere like for letterhead, logo, business cards, flyers, brochures, website or even it can be resized to print banners.
Our highly skilled professional designers strive hard in converting the raster images to vector images. as per clients requirements. We provide logos to justify their company so as to form a brand. Logos are designed by talented and experienced designers with the help of vector based softwares like adobe illustrator and corel draw. The output formats are .ai, .eps, .cdr, etc.. for vector images. Which further can be used for advertisement purpose, brochure, flyers, printing purpose, enlarging and digitizing works.
We convert all kind of designs or pictures of any formats like .jpg, .bmp, .png etc to vector format. All you have to do is to provide us with your raster image and we will send you the vector format file like .eps, .ai, .cdr, etc. whithin the given timeframe.

The Papua New Guinea opposition leader, Belden Namah, has strongly criticised the latest plan by Australia to resettle its asylum seekers in PNG.
A deal was signed last week by the two countries' prime ministers, Peter O'Neill and Kevin Rudd.
Mr Namah says it is an agreement between two madmen, adding that the two have no regard for UN conventions.
He says Mr O'Neill is making decisions like a chicken with no head.
Mr Namah has called for the agreement to be debated in parliament.
He says PNG has bigger problems than refugee processing and should not make money from asylum seekers.
Mr O'Neill has said the scheme will boost the national economy, but Mr Namah says the problem in PNG is not money, but bad financial management and corruption.

Difficulties inhere in dealing scientifically with a problem that relates so immediately to basic human values discount amaryl 2mg on line diabetes symptoms feet and ankles. Assumptions in this work hold the person against whom the interrogation efforts are -6- directed — who is designated following common intelligence usage as "the source" — to be highly motivated to safeguard the information; and that best 2 mg amaryl diabetes definition glucose, at least initially, the source regards denying information to his interrogator as "more important than life itself. Similarly, Western jurisprudence recognizes that lengthy interrogation, even without physical coercion, can produce "unwilling" confessions, true or false, of capital crimes. Divergent interpretations have been placed on reported cases of individuals who have resisted very intensive interrogations without divulging information. Some use it to demonstrate the existence of an unconquerable, inextinguishable human will. Others regard the instances of successful resistance to interrogation as mere illustrations of remediable deficiencies in interrogation technique. Neither this nor any other scientific volume, in the opinion of the editors, can resolve the differences implicit in these two orientations, or yet other interpretations. On the basis of scientific tests alone, they are difficult to resolve even with a completely deterministic set of assumptions. As the approach of this review illustrates, for any given set of motivations of the source, however powerful, one can at least speculate about possible manipulations to overcome them. On the other hand, it is possible to speculate about methods of heightening motivations and defenses against any conceivable manipulative assault. Exclusively scientific tests probably cannot foreclose either possibility at this time. Another important qualification to conventional ideas about the ultimate limits of the control of human behavior will become apparent in some of the discussions that follow. The purposes that men have in seeking to control, or to influence, the behavior of others involve the distinctively human capabilities of men and their significance for one another. The major fallacy of the totalitarian interrogator grows out of a poor appreciation of this fact. Some of the chapters here indicate that there are limits to which the ability of a source to reveal information can be separated from his willingness to do so. The analytic divisions we make between such aspects of mental activity as the recall and transmittal of information on the one hand and motivations on the other do not correspond to behaviors that are totally independent of one another in the organism. The fallacy of belief in the possibility of total control for any purpose stands out as bizarre in the extreme when acted on by those whose purposes involve the control of self-initiated behavior. An example, simultaneously tragic and ridiculous, is the ideological interrogation. A system in which mental conformity is sought through coercion and manipulation embodies an ever-present fear on the part of the controllers that conformity will be based on opportunism rather than conviction. In oppressive ideological systems, such as modern Communism, which demand "true sincerity" from their subjects rather than mere outward conformity, the inquisitorial process appears to be a natural development. In a vicious circle, coercion is used to produce conformity, generating fears that the conformity produced is insincere, generating in turn further coercion to make it "sincere. Under these circumstances, the ultimate test of the loyalty and sincere devotion of the individual to the system is his acceptance of the inquisitorial process itself: the purge, coercion, confession, and the entire paraphernalia of enforced conversion. Malleus Maleficarum (22, page 212) provides an illustration of the manner in which the victim is compelled to adopt the frame of reference of the inquisitor: He [the suspected witch] must be asked if he believes that there are such things as witches, and that such things as were mentioned could be done, as that tempests could be raised or men and animals bewitched. Note that for the most part witches deny this at first; and therefore this engenders a greater suspicion than if they were to answer that they left it to superior judgment to say. So if they deny it, they must be questioned as follows: Then are they innocently condemned when they are burned? At the outset of the study the impression of the editors from their prior investigation of interrogation problems was that the effectiveness of scientific innovations for controlling human behavior may have been exaggerated in most public discussions. Before final evaluations, alarming or otherwise, were ventured from a human standpoint regarding the significance of the control over behavior -8- which scientific developments will make possible, it was felt that a more sober, systematic, and accurate examination was required from a purely objective perspective. This evaluation relates to the applicability of such developments to a specified type of objective and to the nature and limits of the alterations of objective behavior that these developments will permit a would-be manipulator to induce in a resistant person. Although such an effort cannot settle the philosophical and emotional questions raised about the significance of the control which can be exerted, it can indicate that some are ill-founded and others premature. The conclusions reached do in fact show that many developments can compound tremendously the already almost insuperable difficulties confronting the individual who seeks to resist an interrogator unrestrained by moral or legal scruples. On the other hand, it can be shown that many of the measures popularly supposed to render an interrogator omnipotent actually have no demonstrable applicability to his purposes. Other measures that appear to have high potential utility for the control or influence of behavior seem to owe their effectiveness to quite different kinds of processes than popularly supposed.

As bacterial pathogens develop resistance against most currently used antibiotics, novel alternatives for treatment of microbial infectious diseases are urgently needed. Targeting bacterial virulence functions in order to disarm pathogens represents a promising alternative to classical antibiotic therapy. Type IV secretion systems, which are multiprotein complexes in the cell envelope that translocate effectors into host cells, are critical bacterial virulence factors in many pathogens and excellent targets for such “antivirulence” drugs. The VirB8 protein from the mammalian pathogen
Brucellawas chosen as a specific target, since it is an essential type IV secretion system component, it participates in multiple protein-protein interactions, and it is essential for the assembly of this translocation machinery. The bacterial two-hybrid system was adapted to assay VirB8 interactions, and a high-throughput screen identified specific small-molecule inhibitors. VirB8 interaction inhibitors also reduced the levels of VirB8 and of other VirB proteins, and many of them inhibited virBgene transcription in Brucella abortus2308, suggesting that targeting of the secretion system has complex regulatory effects in vivo. One compound strongly inhibited the intracellular proliferation of B. abortus2308 in a J774 macrophage infection model. The results presented here show that in vivoscreens with the bacterial two-hybrid assay are suited to the identification of inhibitors of Brucellatype IV secretion system function.

President Obama’s noon press conference with the Turkish Prime Minister started forty minutes late Thursday. As the press sat waiting, the sky began to darken and grow more threatening. By the time Obama finally showed up, a light rain had already begun to fall.
Though the Turkish PM declined Obama’s offer of an umbrella, Obama lost that particular game of chicken as he answered a question about the IRS from a Bloomberg reporter. The rain picked up and mid-answer the president finally blinked and asked two nearby Marines to hold umbrellas over himself and his guest.
“Why don’t we get a couple of Marines [to hold umbrellas],” the President said. “They’re gonna look good next to us.”
On Twitter, the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg suggested that this was “not such a great use of Marines.”

Plague (2020) by SVA faculty member Stephen Savage School of Visual Arts
The School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York is documenting the art its students, alumni and staff have produced during the coronavirus pandemic with its Covid Collection initiative, which aims to build an ongoing archive of works created since the public health crisis hit the city in mid-March.
Beth Kleber, the SVAs head of archives, says she began the project as a “therapeutic filter” for the community and has received more than 300 submissions from nearly 200 artists to date, mostly from current or former students but also from faculty members like Stephen Powers, an illustrator for the New York Times and other publications.
“When SVA shut down, I started monitoring discussions around archive collections in various academic institutions who had the same impulse that I did to capture this moment,” Kleber says. “As an art school, it seems like the most natural way of encapsulating the experience of artists and documenting how a global crisis manifests in their work.”
Kleber says still-lifes of food and household objects are a recurring theme, but that works range in focus from the mundane and listless aspects of lockdown—like in a series of drawings by Carly Larsson of city scenes captured from the vantage point of her fire escape in Brooklyn—to incensed political critiques around the Trump administrations xenophobia and mishandling of the coronavirus, seen in works like ERead More – Source

Now that the 2019 season is over for the New York Mets, we have been looking back at the year that was. After taking a more general view of the offense, pitching, and coaching staff, it’s time to take a deeper dive into the Mets’ players. This series will take a look at every player on the roster for the Mets at the end of season from A (Pete Alonso) to Z (Daniel Zamora). The review will look at their season statistics, stories, and what role (if any) they will have next season. We continue the series today with a look at center fielder Juan Lagares.
Player Review: Juan Lagares
2019 Stats: 133 Games, 258 At Bats, .213 Batting Average, 55 Hits, 12 Doubles, 1 Triple, 5 Home Runs, 27 RBI’s, 38 Runs Scored, 4 Stolen Bases, .605 OPS
Story: After a busy offseason, the Mets didn’t appear to have much of a role for Juan Lagares. With Jeff McNeil being moved to left field and Brandon Nimmo starting most of the time in center, Lagares was back to his usual duties of defensive replacement and the occasional start against left handed pitching. Playing time started to open up for Lagares as injuries began to mount, and he got regular at bats for a solid three week stretch in late July and early August, where he was decently productive. Once the Mets started to get healthy, however, Lagares’ at bats dried up and he didn’t do much down the stretch.
Lagares was a solid defender once again, but his bat continued to underwhelm for the Mets.
Contract Status: $9.5 Million Team Option for 2020 (Mets have $500,000 buyout)
Odds of Returning: 10%
2020 Role: None
There is no shot the Mets are going to give Lagares $9.5 million in 2020, so they will buy him out and send Lagares to free agency. The Mets will probably look to upgrade the center field position this offseason, but there is a chance that the two sides could look to reunite late in the winter if the Mets haven’t found a replacement. Lagares would be looking at a significant pay cut, however, and potentially need to earn his job with a minor league deal.
Check back tomorrow as our Player Review Series continues with a look at starting pitcher Walker Lockett!

This is what the end of summer looks like: roasting (or drying) pan after pan of must-go tomatoes and peppers from our garden and the farmer's market. Stockpiling them in the freezer, next to all the berries and peaches. Leaving the windows open at night (and in the morning, but only until I'm done with my coffee and the sun strengthens). Making the first soups of the season, with the first squash. Planning where the kale, carrots, and autumn greens will go. Cautiously removing sweaters and coats from their off-season storage to air them out.
Fall doesn't officially begin until next week. But sometimes the end of one thing can be just as fun to celebrate as the beginning of the next.

Death in Paradise
Is there death in the Garden of Eden? We always assume to death entered the world because of the Original Sin (The Original Sin happened when Eve and Adam disobeyed God thus breaking their communion Gen.3). If death only enter the world through the Original Sin, how will the ecosystem of the Garden of Eden be sustained before Eve and Adam sinned? If there is no death, then are the animals in the Garden of Eden vegetarians?
Death is an important part of our present day ecosystem. Dead plants and animals are broken down into the essential minerals and organic components which form the substrate on which new plants and animals develop. It will be impossible for an ecosystem to sustain itself without death and decay.
Death that is part of the curse is directed to Adam and Eve rather than the animals (Gen. 3:19; 1 Cor. 15). It is likely to be spiritual death rather than physical death. Spiritual death is separation from God and this death in the curse is mentioned as the direct result of the Original Sin. It is unlikely that Adam and Eve are immortal because if they are, then there is no reason for the Tree of Life to be a temptation. The Tree of Life is already in the Garden well before the Fall (Gen.2:9). Therefore it is likely that Adam and Eve have limited but long lifespan (Isa. 65:20-24). Even after the curse, Adam lived for 930 years (Gen.5:5).
Are there carnivorous animals in the Garden of Eden? The fangs and muscles of lions and wolves suggest that there were. Before the Fall, Adam’s job was to look after the Garden (Gen.1:28). We assume that his job was gardening but what if it is to control the animals too; something like that of a park ranger? If there were no death, overpopulation will be a major problem for human, animals and plants. There is also a hint that the Garden is a walled area with angels guarding the gateways.
In the new creation, the wolf lying down beside the lamb (and not eating it) and the lions have become reformed vegetarians may suggest that the new creation is truly better than the Garden of Eden (Isa. 65:25).
Interesting, both Thomas Aquinas and John Calvin thinks that animals die in the Garden of Eden.

SS&Si ramps up dealer network
DELTONA, Fla.—While his father founded Security Solutions and Services back in 1998 as a consulting firm, Jake Voll said it’s only in the last year that it has become the full-service dealer network offering price breaks and marketing devices it is now.
“We’re different from the other dealer programs,” Voll said, “because we focus on the small to mid-size companies. We try to help them build their businesses. We’re looking for the guys who maintain high-quality work and maintain their personal integrity while they’re out in the community.”
With 150 dealers currently signed up, and no initial buy-in fee, Voll feels the newly branded SS&Si should be able to grow quickly, even though he’s already got dealers in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. “We can offer them significant product savings, on Honeywell right now specifically,” he said. “These little guys they can’t compete with the national companies who have deals with Honeywell because of volume. But we’re adding more and more product, too.”
Why not just join the First Alert or CSS dealer programs Honeywell already has in place? Voll said a number of First Alert dealers are SS&Si dealers as well, and that SS&Si doesn’t ask for any kind of exclusivity. Further, SS&Si encourages dealers to emphasize their own brands, helps them with branding through web design and social media consulting, and even encourages them to keep hold of their accounts, even through SS&Si does have an investment group that will buy accounts if companies are looking to raise funds.
“We want them to build up their account base so they’ll stick around,” said Voll. “We know guys who build up accounts then sell them to the same people over and over. That’s not what we’re looking for.”

An interview by Yinsey Wang
Rosie Dennington's spectacular gowns are breathtaking. The talented designer and entrepreneur started Rosie Red Corsetry on Valentine's Day six years ago and has not stopped creating with purpose ever since. She is also a brave voice in a myriad of others who are emerging to inspire others to embrace the beauty within. Her timeless, profoundly beautiful creations distill a unique brand of magic and in addition, they also celebrate the womanhood and beauty of the wearer, whatever their size. To her, love is a concept that transcends so much of the boundaries that societies use to define a person, and hence she is driven by a real enjoyment for designing wedding gowns. Published in magazines such as Vanity Fair and having worked with incredible women such as Helena Bonham Carter and dressed many brides, Rosie is not only accomplished in her craft but is also a game changer, rallying women to love themselves and take ownership for their achievements. In this exclusive interview with Amber Magazine, Rosie shares her wisdom on journeying through successes and hardship, as well as any lessons learnt over the years pursuing her passion.
How did you start creating beautiful pieces and what prompted you to start this passion?
I have honestly always been creating. From being a young girl making costumes and outfits for myself and my dolls, it is always something I have loved. I sort of hate it when people say that because I think it sounds a bit smug, but it is true of me! It has always been my love. I started my business six years ago (on Valentine's Day), so I have been creating with 'purpose' since then. I knew I would not be making gazillions of pounds, but I did want a job that could fulfil my creativity, and give me a sense of purpose. You have accomplished so much and you have also been brave and open about sharing the hardships faced. What has helped you stay strong and also continue to refine your craft so wonderfully? I am very accepting that I am not the best. I think being humble is so important, and a quality quite a few people can lack. I also think that we are all works in progress, so both on a personal and professional level, I think it is actually quite nice to know we are always growing. I have a lot of perspective on life. I would say that is what helps me to stay strong and not let things get out of hand.
What is the one thing you wished your younger self knew that you know now? I wish I had known that fatphobia is a thing, and that the diet and beauty industry literally profits from our insecurities. I wish I had known that there was nothing wrong with how my body looked, and that I would be both fatter and happier. I would want her to know that we eventually do get a dog, and he is the greatest joy one could ever imagine.
You are an ambassador for embracing beauty in all shapes and sizes. Why do you think it is so important to share this message? I primarily create wedding gowns, and I love love. I love how love is so universal. It transcends race, gender, size, everything, all of it. I think in an industry that pitches thinness as the only way a bride can be, that it is vitally important to challenge this. I wish I had seen more women, more body types, more shapes growing up. I wish I had not equated being in love to being thin. It is nonsense.
If you could have anyone wear your designs who would it be? There are so many people that I would adore to dress. Helena Bonham Carter is my ultimate style icon, and I was able to dress her for Vanity Fair's September issue. This launched my business and gave me the boost I needed. Dressing her regularly would be a joy. However, right this second, I would love to dress Lizzo. What is the aspect you love most about creating the masterpieces you do? Firstly I am honoured for you to call them this! If I had to pick one favourite aspect, it would honestly be when they are finished. I love looking back and going 'yes, I did that'.
What has been the biggest inspiration in your journey so far and why? I have been asked this a few times. I used to feel really selfish about my answer, but I think that I inspire myself most. I am doing this for me, because we have no idea how long we get in life, and I would love to leave some tangible beautiful things on the earth. I am incredibly lucky to have a very supportive family and boyfriend. My friends mean the world to me too. People and animals are so important to me. Your creative style is easily described as iconic, dreamy and ethereal. How would you like it to be remembered?
Like this! I would like people to remember me as kind, and a business that focuses around kindness and beauty.

MOUNTAINEERS, the most successful franchise team in Zimbabwe’s Twenty20 domestic competitions, will be looking to maintain their dominance in the shortest version of the game when this year’s 20-overs tournament gets underway at Harare Sports this week.
The Mutare-based cricket franchise has won three of the last four editions of the tournament since the advent of the franchise system during the 2009/2010 season.
In fact, Mountaineers have won the last two editions of the tournament and could seal a memorable hat-trick of titles with another win in this year’s week long tournament which will be used to prepare for next month’s ICC World Twenty20 competition.
Given such an impressive record and an array of stars such as bowling sensation Tendai Chatara, aggressive batsman Hamilton Masakadza and skipper Mawoyo, among others, the Gray Brent-coached side will without a doubt go into this year’s tournament as favourites.
Mountaineers begin their Domestic Twenty20 title defence with a potentially tricky tie against rivals Mash Eagles in a repeat of last year’s final tomorrow.
Mash Eagles, who won the then Stanbic Twenty20 tournament during the 2010–11 season will be hoping for a better show against Mountaineers having lost to them in the last two finals in 2012 and last year.
The Stephen Mangongo Eagles side, who will enjoy home advantage for this week-long tournament will be hoping to hit the ground running when they square off against MidWest Rhinos in the tournament opener this morning.
MidWest Rhinos’ best performance in domestic T20 competition was finishing as runners-ups to Mountaineers during the 2010–11 season. Having come close a few times Rhinos will be one of the teams to watch.
The Kwekwe-based franchise which will be coached by Grant Flower has assembled a balanced side which has a good balance of youth and experience.
However, for Rhinos to challenge for honours they will need their key players such as Brendan Taylor, Vusi Sibanda and Malcolm Waller to lead from the front while the likes of Simon Mugava, PJ Moor and Richard Muzhange will be hoping to make a positive impression.
Matabeleland Tuskers, who will miss Dubai-based big hitting batsman Charles Coventry and star bowler Glen Querl are probably the dark horse of the T20 tournament. Tuskers tackle Southern Rocks in today’s second match scheduled for Harare Sports Club.
Led by the consistent Sean Williams, Tuskers who also have seasoned campaigners such as Keith Dabengwa, Tawanda Mpariwa, Keegan Meth and Chris Mpofu will be difficult to beat in this tournament.
The seam bowling trio of Mpariwa, Meth and Mpofu will also be aiming to use the competition to get themselves back in contention for national team places after having recently fell out of favour with the selectors. National team coach Andy Waller earlier this week said team selectors would use the T20 tournament to assess the players’ form before selecting the final squad for next month’s ICC World Twenty20 competition in Bangladesh.
Full list of fixtures below:
Today: Mash Eagles vs Midwest Rhinos (9:30am), Southern Rocks vs Matabeleland Tuskers (1:30pm).
Tomorrow: February 11: Mountaineers vs Mountaineers v Mashonaland Eagles (9:30am), MidWest Rhinos vs Southern Rocks (1:30pm).
Wednesday, February 12: Mashonaland Eagles vs Southern Rocks (9:30am), Matabeleland Tuskers vs Mountaineers (1:30pm).
Thursday, February 13: Midwest Rhinos vs Matabeleland Tuskers (9:30am), Southern Rocks vs Mountaineers (1:30pm).
Friday, February 14: Matabeleland Tuskers vs Mashonaland Eagles (1:30pm), Mountaineers vs Midwest Rhinos (1:30pm).
Saturday, February 15: 3rd and 4th place- TBC (09.30), Final- TBC (13.30).

We have received a whopping large shipment of Graphic Novels for the adult section, carefully selected from various sources.
If a picture tells a thousand words, consider the creative density of a format combining both word and image. The Graphic Novel format is the fastest growing segment of the publishing world. This means there's an increasing wealth of well-written stories available to interested readers, the trick is to wade through them to find the best.
Here are a few of the more interesting titles (capsule reviews after the jump).
DMZ volumes 1 through 4.
by Brian Wood; Riccardo Burchiello & Jeromy Cox illustrators..
Manhattan as a war zone seen through the eyes of a journalist during a (near-future) American civil war.
IR$ volume 1 & 2.
by Stephen Desberg, illustrated by Bernard Vranken
Picture James Bond as a field agent for the IRS. In Volume 1 the US Treasury Agent operative tracks down the profits of Swiss bank accounts from pre World War two. And in volume 2 tries to collect taxes from a narcoterrorist empire. Naturally gunplay ensues, and beautiful women complicate matters. Translated from the French.
by G. Willow Wilson, art by MK Perker.
Action/adventure modern fantasy. In Egypt, a good natured con artist steals a hookah that happens to contain a genie. Storyline intertwines romance, middle eastern politics with Arabian folk stories and magic realism.
Chicken with Plums
Marjane Satrapi's memoir of life growing up in Iran post-revolution introduced her to an american audience. Here she tells the story of her great uncle, a musician who resolves to die when his instrument is broken by his wife.
The Stuff of Life,
by Mark Schultz; Kevin & Zander Cannon illustrators.
A graphic guide to genetics and DNA. Brilliant non-fiction science, a humorous and instructive breakdown of the hows and whys of genetics, heredity, sex, as seen through the eyes of an alien scientist explaining the system to his somewhat slow-witted emperor.
Absolute Sandman volumes 2 and 3.
Neil Gaiman's moody meditation on the god of dreams. Beautiful large format compendium.
Japanese manga artist Hideo Azuma found he couldn't handle the pressures of his life as a deadline cartoonist, and ran away from job and family, descending into alchoholism and homelessness. Here is his memoirs of two stints on the streets, and his time in a hospital in recovery. Snippets, images, vingettes written in a friendly cartoony style depicts the humor and absurdity of his situation, finding delight in small pleasures.
The Walking Dead omnibus volumes 1-3,
by Robert Kirkman.
A survival journal of the zombie apocalypse. Tense, taut and emotionally plausible, aside from all the zombies. These sorts of tales ask the question-- who would we become if modern civilization fell? A small convoy of survivors tries to build civilization on a small scale while surviving zombie attacks, heartbreak and worse. Gory, but well written.
Ordinary Victories vol 1 & 2.
by Manu Larcenet.
Marco has decided to quit therapy after 10-odd years of psycho analysis. No, his panic attacks have not disappeared, and he hasn't figured out anything in particular about his life or come to any conclusions, but perhaps that's the point. Sweet and thoughtful introspective study of a young man in a French town wrestling with job, life, love and aging parents. Charming art, moving story.
The Big Skinny: How I Changed My Fattitude; a memoir
by Carol Lay
An upbeat journal and 'how-to' comic of one woman's struggle with diet, exercise, and health.
Paul Goes Fishing,
by Michel Rabagliati.
More vignettes in the life of the titular character of previous graphic novels 'Paul Has a Summer Job' and 'Paul Moves Out'. Now grown up, married, and settled in life, Paul and his wife travel on summer vacation to upper Ontario. Whimsical illustration and thoughtful reflections on life, adulthood, and the possibility of making a baby.
Miss Don't Touch Me,
The Paris of Josephine Baker in the pre-war 1930's, famous bordellos cater to the moneyed and powerful. But elsewhere in the city young women are found murdered by some unknown Jack-the Ripperesque serial killer. When her sister becomes the next victim, a young woman infiltrates a bordello to try to track down the killer. Despite the setting and her mission of justice, the earnest innocence of the young protagonist works to her advantage. Well-scripted murder mystery, rich colors, carefully detailed illustrations, evocative of the era and setting.
Dungeon Monstres Vol. 1 and Dungeon Zenith Vol 3.
Mssrs. Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim return to pen the escapades and exploits of the various monsters running the administration of a massive Dungeon. Hi-jinx and hilarity ensue as usual, but interestingly this far into the various series' the monsters have begun to develop richly developed character and deep humanity, each in their own way. And somehow the cartooony art gets better, richer, more detailed, more vivid, more fluid, and more fun.
Little Nothings Vol 1 & 2.
By Lewis Trondheim
One page journal outtakes from the life of France's greatest humor cartoonist. Quirky, slice of life, thoughts and musings. Occasionally quite pretty ink and watercolor art.
Criminal Vol 1, Coward,
by Ed Brubaker, Sean Philips art.
Ed Brubaker writes tense believable crime fiction. 'Criminal' is a series of stories told from the perspective of various (mostly small-time) hoods con artists and thugs. Not many happy endings, but gripping plots, compelling people.
Wet Moon, vol 1-3,
by Ross Campbell.
A small-town southern art college is populated by a pantheon of interestingly damaged punk rock and goth girls. Doesn't matter than nothing much happens, what matters more is what they think and feel about each other. Sensual, moody, characters have realistic curves, heft, quirks, and obsessions. The series seems like it might be going someplace, even if it may never quite get there. A slow-paced sorta swampier Love and Rockets. Black and white, but Campbell's inks are detailed enough that you can see the humidity.
The Scorpion V.1, The Devil's Mark
by Stephen Desberg ; illustrated by Enrico Marini.
Intrique and swashbuckling adventure in Vatican City. The Scorpion is a Zorro-esque rogue who robs from the rich and corrupt --and in Inquisition-era Rome the richest of the rich are the denizens of the Holy See (as perhaps are the most corrupt). From whence does his emnity for the Church arise? He tries to solve the mystery of his own birth while avoiding the assassins of the Vatican's political arm. Rooftop steeplechase acrobatics ensue. Lush colors, clean confident inkwork, with baroque, opulent, intricate backgrounds. Under Marini's brushwork Vatican City at night glows like a vast luminous undersea creature, pulsating with it's own light.
Really great stuff. Come take a look.
Book sale on the library lawn.
10-3, May 16th.
Book donations accepted through the 8th. Call the library for details.
Update: No more donations please. We have run out of room. Many thanks to all of you who have contributed books.
More than a building that houses books and data, the library represents a window to a larger world, the place where weíve always come to discover big ideas and profound concepts that help move the American story forward and the human story forward. Thatís the reason why, since ancient antiquity, whenever those who seek power would want to control the human spirit, they have gone after libraries and books. Whether itís the ransacking of the great library at Alexandria, controlling information during the Middle Ages, book burnings, or the imprisonment of writers in former communist block countries, the idea has been that if we can control the word, if we can control what people hear and what they read and what they comprehend, then we can control and imprison them, or at least imprison their minds.
Obama's 2005 speech to the American Library Association
Please read the full text of the speech.

footnote: Here are some bits from Obama's answers to an interview conducted just before his speech. (American Libraries; Aug2005, Vol. 36 Issue 7, p48-52, 5p - accessible full text via our Masterfile subscription)
Can you tell us more about the effect libraries have had on you? Here's another interesting fact: People always mention libraries in terms of just being sources for reading material or research. But I probably would not be in Chicago were it not for the Manhattan public library, because I was looking for an organizing job and was having great trouble finding a job as a community organizer in New York. The Mid-Manhattan library had these books of lists of organizations, and the librarian helped me find these lists of organizations, and I wrote to every organization. One of them wound up being an organization in Chicago that I got a job with.
Tell us something that you're not going to say in your speech. You know, I have a soft spot in my heart for librarians. Although I'll probably mention this in my speech, I have been known to misbehave in libraries.
What's your main message to librarians? That our prosperity as a nation is directly correlated to our literacy.

Recipe by HokiesMom
I came across this recipe from an old Cooking Light Magazine and boy it is a nice twist on a standard biscotti. They state that since peanut butter is used in place of butter the proteins and B vitamins are greatly increased. Just a fun way to serve biscotti. It is great dunked in hot cocoa!!
Top Review by Katzen
Simple, and delicious - my favourite kind of recipe! I made them as per the recipe, only adding 1/2 cup of peanut butter chips - 1/4 cup to the batter, and 1/4 cup to the top. The instructions were bang on - but I don't know if it's my oven, but next time I'll reduce the 2nd & 3rd baking times to 10-15 minutes, as they came out a little darker than I'd like. DH was supposed to take these in to share with his co-workers today, but conveniently forgot... he thinks they're perfect on the go breakfast food! Made for PRMR Tag. Thanks for posting this excellent recipe, Hokies!

What is I&I? Infiltration and Inflow is storm and/or groundwater that enters the sanitary sewer system through holes, breaks, joint failures, connection failures, illegally connected sump pumps, down spouts, and footing drains, and from cross-connections with storm sewers. Most inflow comes from stormwater and most infiltration comes from groundwater. High groundwater levels and storm events can contribute to excessive sewer flows.
I&I affects the size of flow conveyed through the system and pumping stations and the cost to treat the flows. Ultimately, this affects the taxes businesses and residents pay to operate and maintain the sewers.
DSM maintains a proactive approach to sanitary sewer maintenance which includes sewerline flushing, root treatment, manhole inspection and GPS. To minimize and eliminate extraneous stormwater from entering the sanitary sewer system a Division wide program is currently being utilized. The following investigative techniques are used to identify sources of I&I to include the following:
- Flow Monitoring: Determines the amount of I&I entering a sanitary sewer system. Sensors are placed into the flow and the data is analyzed to determine if more investigation is required in the study area.
- Smoke Testing: Identifies connected downspouts and other inflow sources, such as cross connections with the storm sewer system and deficiencies in and around manholes and sewers. The testing involves placing a blower over a manhole to push a non-toxic, odorless “smoke” into the sewerline and laterals.
- Televising and Dye Testing: a non-toxic dye is added to a possible I&I source like storm drains and ditches. The sewerline is then televised, using a camera to look for cracks, root intrusions, and dye colored infiltration. The video from the camera also serves as a condition assessment for the sewers to determine locations for repairs and rehabilitation projects.
- House Inspections: Includes interior and exterior plumbing inspections to help property owners eliminate illegal or improper stormwater connections like sump pumps, roof drains,low lying vents, and replacing perforated caps with mushroom caps.
- Lateral Replacement: Available to agreeing property owners on a first come basis, is a Lateral Replacement Program to replace older private deficient laterals. Click the link for more information.
Once I&I sources are identified, several repair and rehabilitation methods are used to include replacement, spot repair, and manhole repair. Trenchless Technologies are also being used to include PipePatch and Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining to help the DSM rehabilitate the aging sewer infrastructure.
For more information on the DSM's I&I program, call (716) 858-8437 or (716) 858-6586 .
