Waves Seaford Limited
Waves Seaford Limited
WAVES’ aim is to make a real difference to families in Seaford at risk of crisis and breakdown and to provide practical ways to help families re-build their lives, offering help and support as they face changes and new directions in life and to be there for them when they feel utter hopelessness. We are committed to building long term relationships of trust, consistent support and encouragement for as long as it is needed.
In order to achieve our aims we work in four main areas:-
1. WAVES Drop In Centre – The Centre, which is run with the assistance of 20 volunteers, is in the middle of Seaford town providing a clean, comfortable and safe place for families to meet with a play area, changing facilities, a place to feed babies and free refreshments for parents/carers and children; it provides a much needed oasis and gives those who come in an opportunity to meet others in similar situations and to form friendships, to access help, advice and support.
2. Family Support – For families who need some more support, we arrange a visit from our part-time family worker who will assess each situation and arrange for support in the best way possible. This may involve supportive visits from a volunteer, the offer of a sympathetic ear, guidance on family boundaries and routines or help to access specific services.
3. Listening Service – WAVES offers a weekly listening service for children in the 5 local primary schools in Seaford and Alfriston. This allows some children, with their carer’s consent, the opportunity to talk through issues that are causing them concern and which they do not always want to talk about with their carers or teachers. This service is provided by volunteers.
4. Courses – WAVES ensures volunteers attend safe guarding courses, but also offers volunteers courses in listening, and First Aid. We also offer the services of a Triple P facilitator at the Centre.
Waves Seaford Limited aims to:
- Our main aim is to make a real difference to the lives of families in Seaford who are at risk of breakdown and assist them as they face difficult situations.

Why has the USDA website gone dark on important information that is used to save the lives of animals?
Earlier this month, animal inspection reports and enforcement actions were abruptly removed from the USDA website. No warning. Just dark.
Without providing much explanation other than citing a vague privacy concern, the U.S. government has made the USDA website radically less useful to animal welfare advocates, journalists, investigators and concerned citizens. The privacy concern is obviously bunk as the USDA redacts any sensitive information anyhow!
Is the “privacy” of commercial businesses really more important than animal welfare and the free release of information? After all, we the people own this information. These reports are the work of government employees, and we pay their salaries. It’s not classified information, so the mysterious reasons for removing it from the USDA website can’t possibly be honorable.
Information about the inspections of labs, zoos, breeding facilities and factory farms has been available on the website for decades. We don’t know the true reason why it was removed, but we do know why it should be put back.
Why is it important to repost the deleted animal inspection reports and enforcement actions on the USDA website?
Gone is the quick access to information that can be used to help protect animals, and this could embolden animal abusers.
If animal rescue groups don’t know about animals, such as dogs, being released from laboratories, they can’t offer to rescue them and find them homes.
People purchasing dogs from breeders no longer have quick access to inspection reports. Puppy mills must love this.
Animals could potentially die, or endure suffering longer than they otherwise would have suffered. The same information that was for many years freely, quickly available online can now only be obtained via an official request under the Freedom of Information Act. Once the request is made, it can take months to receive the information!
What can you do to end the USDA blackout?
Sign petitions, and hold your government representatives responsible for restoring the reports! Complain, complain, complain to anyone who will listen. Make this a big deal, because it is.
Here are a couple of petitions you can sign to end the USDA Blackout:
ASPCA petition : https://secure.aspca.org/take-action/usda-puppy-mill-reports-petition
Beagle Freedom Project (BFP) official White House petition : https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/reverse-usdas-blackout-information-related-animals-labs
Happy signing and complaining! You’re doing it for the defenseless.

New Delhi Television
Cluster: Emerging Star
Price target: Rs260
Current market target: Rs230
Not quite the ugly duckling
- New Delhi Television (NDTV)'s performance on the bourses has remained sluggish over the last few months due to increased competition and the company's unimpressive Q2FY2007 results.
- While the other media companies like Zee Telefilms and Television Eighteen India (TV18) have soared on catching the investors' fancy, NDTV has lagged behind in the last three months. If we compare the market capitalisation to sales (Mcap/Sales) of the major media companies, we find that the gap between the valuation of these companies and that of NDTV is alarming. This leads us to believe that the market's reaction to NDTV's non-performance is overdone.
- NDTV has two potential triggers. One, the demerger of Zee News and the listing of Global Business News (GBN), which would provide better valuation comparables. Two, a new business model that would provide more clarity about the news business, leading to improved valuations.
- We see merit in NDTV's media property and evolving business model, and continue to maintain a Buy on the stock with price target of Rs260.

Following months of suspected algorithm changes and fluctuating page rankings, Google’s second official algorithm update went live late Wednesday afternoon.
With webmasters braced for the impending effects, the Penguin Update 2.0 has been rolled out to further clamp down on web spam and encourage good SEO practice.
Google’s initial Penguin update was rolled out in April 2012, followed by two data refreshes in May and October last year. As a result, many sites suffered harsh penalties relating to black hat SEO and consequently dropped in the rankings. Algorithms determine the way in which websites are ranked in Google results, potentially causing fluctuations in the traffic to any website hoping to organically rank highly. The repercussions of the new generation Penguin are certain to have a ripple effect that has the potential to impact on your website’s Google ranking positions.
Fresh and quality pages running throughout your website are vital as the algorithm update targets any kind of link schemes that generate low quality or unnatural links. We would therefore encourage a focus on content, ensuring that you are frequently circulating articles and blogs that are fresh and relevant. Fantastic content will increase your authority with Google and ultimately improve your rankings.
As we know, Google can be extremely temperamental and can significantly affect your reputation management.


Tsunami debris still heading to Washington coast
Nov 19, 2012, 8:17 AM | Updated: 9:12 am
(AP file photo)
Debris from the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami is still expected to hit the Washington coast, just later than previously predicted.
Retired University of Washington oceanographer Curt Ebbesmeyer of Seattle has been tracking the huge field of debris and had been predicting it to start washing up in Washington in October.
While he’s not sure why it didn’t happen yet, he says it’s still looming out in the Pacific Ocean and could start making landfall in a matter of weeks.
“It didn’t go away because we haven’t seen it,” he said. “This quiet is a little bit ominous,” he tells the Everett Herald.
There have been limited reports of tsunami debris washing up on local shores. The state Department of Ecology says other than some incidents in Willapa Bay on the Washington coast, reports have been spotty.
“It’s been pretty quiet since July and August,” says Linda Kent, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Ecology.
Curt Ebbesmeyer of Seattle, a retired University of Washington oceanographer who has been tracking the trash, was one of those predicting an October onslaught.
Ebbesmeyer says while the the coast is expected to get most of the debris, come of it could show up in the inland waters through the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
He says the debris field stretches approximately 2,000 miles across the ocean and 500 miles from north to south. It’s about 400 miles offshore
Ebbesmeyer says with it traveling about 10 miles a day, it could hit the coast around mid-December, depending on the currents and weather.
But government officials are much more conservative in their predictions, saying while they anticipate an increase in debris washing up on the West Coast, the data “doesn’t show any flotilla or mass of debris,” says National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spokeswoman Keeley Belva in an email.
The most recent map on the NOAA marine debris website shows a wide area northeast of Hawaii about 1,000 miles across as the “highest concentration of particles.”
Belva says of 1,406 official debris reports from California to Alaska, only 15 items have been definitively traced to the tsunami. Three of these were found on the Washington coast, including a large dock that washed ashore at Cape Disappointment in June.
Ebbesmeyer says he has no doubt, even though it hasn’t hit yet, the debris is on the way in the coming months.
“One thing’s for certain,” he said. “It’s still out there.”

The Binance coin price is trading at $28.53 (+3.39%) on October 09, 2020. It seems that BNB price is sitting in the range of $27 to $29 for the past few weeks and once again trying to touch the $30 mark. Binance coin was one of the best performing altcoins in September. In the last 30 days, the Binance coin price has increased by almost +16.2%. It seems that now it is trying to touch the $30 mark. Let’s take a look at it in more detail.
Binance Coin Price Analysis: BNB Price Daily Chart Looks Promising
In the daily chart, the Binance coin price is displaying good improvements. The BNB price has comfortably jumped from an overextended RSI and climbing above all the four EMAs. This could be a positive sign. The next most crucial resistance level could be $29.20. The daily MACD is slightly bullish again but as mentioned earlier the price is sitting between the $27 to $29 range and it is crucial for BNB/USD price to crack the first resistance to go on the confirmed positive path. The key metrics are as follows:
- Price $28.51
- 24hr Change +3.32%
- 24hr Vol $109,735,489
- Liquid Marketcap $3,087,303,824
- Liquid Supply 108,345,641
Binance Coin Price Analysis: BNB Price Weekly Chart Is Looking Bullish
In the last week of September, the Binance Coin price collapsed and touched $23 and bounced to touch as high as $29.30 by the end of the month. As October began, BNB price went lower from this resistance but succeeded in finding stable support at the $27 level.
Now, if we see the weekly Parabolic SAR, then we will find that the dots have formed between the $6.79 to $21.65 price range. Despite the recent decline in the Binance coin price, it remains remarkably strong on the weekly chart as the weekly uptrend is sound. Bulls succeeded to defend the $24 support level where the 12-EMA is.
The BNB/USD weekly Parabolic SAR chart looks encouraging and showing a good upwardly sloping pattern. We can see that some dots have formed below and above the price and are climbing in an upwardly tilted pattern, this could imply an uptrend for Binance coin price.
Now, the thing with the SAR is that it could reverse once the price reaches its level. Hence, if SAR is further from price, withdrawal in the indicator is less expected. So, right now, the SAR is too far from the current Binance coin price, which could indicate that the BNB/USD price could increase in the next few days. So this could be a positive sign for the BNB price. We wish you happy trading!

Ms. Garrett's Music Lessons and Projects
The lessons below are a sample of what we studied in my Music Technology Classes. I taught 250 students per week in the 2nd through 5th Grades until 2013, then middle school band until 2018. I am now retired from full-time teaching.
Books / Software / Multimedia
The students are using the Alfred Basic Piano Library
music books to learn to read and play beginning piano
students use music notation programs such as Noteflight.com or Sibelius 6
to learn to compose and print music notes.
The students are learning how to sequence music - entering
one musical part into the computer at a time, then
changing the sounds to different instruments, such
as the flute, clarinet, or drums.
We use Scorch (Sibelius)
or Noteflight to post student compositions on the website for viewing
Besides learning to read, compose, and print their
music, some of the students will produce their own music files to be recorded on CD's or flash drives. We create CD's with student compositions and video clips of their work to post in a multimedia portfolio.
Students are learning about MIDI (Musical Instrument
Digital Interface) and how MIDI works with different
electronic musical instruments to communicate with other
instruments and computers. The students have seen ways
in which various electronic wind and percussion instruments
can be played along with the computer accompaniments.
TI:ME Music Tech Organization (www.ti-me.org)
are many different areas of exploration and instruction
in Music Technology. The Technology Institute for Music
Educators (TI:ME) Strategies for Teaching includes
the following areas of study: electronic musical instruments,
MIDI sequencing, music notation software, computer-assisted
instruction, multimedia and digitized media, Internet
and telecommunications, information processing, computer
systems, and lab management.
Music Technology Benchmarks:
1) To become a lifelong adopter of music technology
for personal expression
2) To create multimedia productions
3) To collaborate with music peers and experts on the Internet as a resource
4) To create, manipulate, and graphically represent music with a computer-based
5) To collaborate in the performance of technology-based music in solo or ensemble
6) To capture and edit digital audio
7) To capture and sequence music with a MIDI controller
8) To communicate with music peers, experts and resources on the Internet
9) To understand how a music technology device captures, stores, and manipulates
sound and performance.

According to recent research presented at the 2016 Advances in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Conference, Patients with Crohn’s disease utilize emergency departments (ED) and physician’s offices more frequently than patients with ulcerative colitis
“Though there are many overlapping features of clinical presentations among inflammatory bowel disease patients, there are key differences between Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis that make Crohn’s disease more prone to severe symptomatology,” Ali Khan, MPH, of the division of gastroenterology and liver disease at George Washington University, and colleagues wrote in their presentation. “Crohn’s disease can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, the full thickness of the bowel wall, and have skip lesions, whereas ulcerative colitis is limited to the colon, affects only the mucosa, and manifests as continuous colonic inflammation.”
In order to study evaluate health care utilization between Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis patients, the researchers reviewed electronic health records from a single academic health center. The researchers gathered various data including demographics, ED visits, physician office visits, phone calls, and email communications with physicians’ offices.
Dr Khan and colleagues found that of the 831 inflammatory bowel disease-related health care events recorded, 54% were among patients with Crohn’s disease. They also found that patients with Crohn’s disease made up 8% of ED visits and 56% of physician’s office visits—compared to 11% of ED visits and 47% of physician’s office visits among patients with ulcerative colitis.
“This further supports a less urgent need for medical attention among ulcerative colitis patients as they may experience less severe symptoms,” Dr Khan and colleagues concluded. “Our study emphasizes the need for improved anticipation of the health care needs of Crohn’s disease patients to ultimately reduce costs related to inflammatory bowel disease treatment.” —David Costill

Writing the perfect book is something a lot of aspiring writers strive for. I’ve been a writer for more than ten years and have gained some valuable insights over the years that transformed not only my writing process but also my perspective on what it means to create something truly exceptional. In this blog post, I will share the 5 key lessons I learned in my quest to write the perfect book.
5 Lessons on How to Write the Perfect Book
Lesson 1: Plan your story
When I started writing fiction, I was a pantser and wrote whatever came to mind. I could just sit down at the computer and write. I’m not sure if the stories I created were driven by characters or plot, but I do know one thing… Writing without a plan will leave you with a manuscript that needs so much editing that it might be easier to write a new book.
To create the perfect book, you need to understand the story structure, like the three-act structure and the seven plot points within it. Readers will have some expectations of your story, and you need to deliver on them. If you write thrillers, the story must be thrilling or scary. If you write romance, the story must be romantic and have a happy ending. You get the point. When I started planning out my stories before writing them, something magical happened. My stories improved, a lot. And editing also became a lot easier since I knew what I wanted to say in each chapter, with each scene.
Lesson 2: Embrace imperfections when writing the first draft
An important lesson that I learned early on is that it’s better to just write and get words down on a page than to sit with each sentence and strive for perfection. When you’re producing your first draft, just keep writing. Write scene by scene, chapter by chapter. If you plotted your story before writing it, you can choose if you want to write the story linearly chapter by chapter, or if you want to write the middle or ending first. By letting go of the need for perfection, I found freedom in expressing my ideas authentically and crafting a narrative that resonates with readers. And it is better to have a finished first draft than to have a few good chapters.
Lesson 3: Listen to other people’s feedback
This lesson has been one of the hardest ones for me to learn, not because I don’t like to get feedback, but because I have a hard time letting go of my manuscripts and letting others see them. Getting an outsider’s view is so important though. It is far too easy to become blind to the imperfections in your own manuscript, and an outsider can see things you’ve missed. You can either use beta readers or hire a professional editor to get feedback. The best way is to do both once you’ve edited your manuscript to the point when you don’t know how to improve it anymore by yourself. By embracing feedback, I learned to detach myself from my writing and view it objectively, making necessary revisions and improvements along the way.
Lesson 4: Cultivate patience and persistence
If you want to write the perfect book, you need to write a lot. Think about the 10,000-hour rule. To master a skill, you need to spend a lot of time doing it. That is true when it comes to writing as well. Some of the best writers in the world have come as far as they have because they write every day. And if you want to write the perfect book, you need to practice. And read a lot. Reading and writing every day is what exercising is to an athlete. That is how you improve.
I have created a morning routine where I write for an hour the first thing I do every day. Why in the morning? Because I get to be alone with my writing, and no one else wants my attention. I’ve done this for more than 100 days in a row now and have promised myself to do it for at least a year. My writing, my plotting, and the way I think about storytelling have improved since I started doing this. I recommend that you try writing every day too. Even if it is just one sentence a day.
Lesson 5: It is in the editing and revising that the magic truly happens
When I edit and revise, I go through the manuscript and focus on different things in each round of editing. First, I usually look at the big picture: Do I have all the parts of the seven-point system in place? Is the hook good enough? Does the reader understand the main character’s inner conflict? Then I move on to improving dialogue, looking at character arcs, and so on. Lastly, I look at language and grammar. I don’t see the point of fixing grammar and language from scratch since entire chapters may be cut from the manuscript. I take the feedback from beta readers and my editor into account when I edit, but I also trust my instincts and follow my gut so that the story stays authentic to me and my writing style.
In my quest to write the perfect book, I discovered that perfection lies not in flawlessness but in embracing the journey itself. It is through imperfections that stories come to life. It is in the journey of storytelling that the true magic of writing lies. There is no such thing as a perfect book.

Most fantasy drafts have ended and people are wondering how their teams will be this season.
Everyone is well aware of the “studs” but here are some players who are sleepers and could make a difference between a bad fantasy season and a championship one.
Catchers: (I do not consider Matt Wieters a “sleeper” that is why he is not on this list).
Chris Iannetta, Colorado: The thin air of Coors Field makes Iannetta a legitimate fantasy producer but he is still getting drafted in the late round of drafts. With a.264 average, 18 home runs and 65 RBI’s in his first season, Iannetta proved that he can handle a full season behind the plate. His numbers should only improve this season and you should be able to get him off the waiver wire or cheaply via trade.
Ramon Hernandez, Cincinnati: Being an Orioles fan I was well aware of Ramon Hernandez’s ineptitude behind the plate, however, when healthy, the guy has shown that he can hit. Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati is even more hitter friendly then Oriole Park was so Hernandez should up his best stats of his career. The friendly confines coupled with this being a contract year for him should mean big things for Ramon Hernandez.
Kelly Shoppach, Cleveland: Even with the return of Victor Martinez, Shoppach should still get chances to show his stuff. He hit 21 home runs and drove in 55 runs last season. The Indians are paying almost 2 million dollars a year for Shoppach so it is unlikely they spent that money just to keep him on the bench all season.
Chris Davis, Texas: Everyone in the Rangers lineup can and probably will hit over 20 home runs this season, making Davis a very good fantasy play. Davis hit 17 home runs in less the 300 at bats this season, and with a full season this year he should be around the 30 home run/100 RBI mark. I predict Davis to be a top 5 first baseman by the end of the year.
Joey Votto, Cincinnati: I do not know if you can really call him a sleeper but he is going late in many drafts at the first base position. After a stellar rookie year, Votto will be inserted right into the heart of the Reds lineup. Despite not being protected by Adam Dunn this year, I expect Votto to be the next big slugger to come out Cincinnati.
Mike Jacobs, Kansas City: Jacobs hit 32 home runs and drove in 93 runs last season for the Marlins and should be around the same numbers this season. A low average is his Achilles heel, but he if he can hit around .260 then he will be a big time fantasy producer. The Kansas City lineup is not bad and Jacobs should be the center piece of it. If you are in a points based league then Jacobs is worth a major look.
Adam LaRoche, Pittsburgh: Many expected LaRoche to breakout after his arrival in Pittsburgh from Atlanta and he finally had production last year. Despite being a slow start in the first half of the year, LaRoche still ended last season with 25 homers and 85 RBI’s. If he can increase his first half production and stay on pace with his career second half production, LaRoche could be a 30 homer, 100 RBI guy.
Jose Lopez, Seattle: Many people can not even name anyone in the Mariners lineup besides Ichiro, but Jose Lopez is a star in the making. He put up more then adequate numbers last season, banging 17 homers and driving in 85 in a Seattle lineup where he had no protection. I think Adrian Beltre will have a career year, and he will be batting behind Lopez which will give Lopez pitches to see. Couple his power with a batting average around .300 and Lopez is a top 5 fantasy second baseman.
Mike Aviles, Kansas City: Aviles had a tremendous rookie campaign last season hitting .325 with 10 homers and 51 runs batted in. The dreaded “sophomore slump” could have some people worried and they might want to wait a month to see how Aviles performs before picking up. If you do this, he will not be around so I would acquire him now if you can. His power numbers are not spectacular but he will hit around .300 with 10-15 home runs and around 60 RBI, not bad production from the second base position.
Kahlil Greene, St.Louis: Leaving spacious Petco Park could be the best thing to happen to Greene. In 2007, Greene hit a career high 27 home runs and drove in 97 run, so he has shown he can put up numbers when healthy. If he can increase his average a little and cut down on the strikeouts then Green becomes a top 10 fantasy shortstop. Right now, I am sure he is available and should put up good enough power numbers to make him worth a look for most fantasy owners.
J.J Hardy, Milwaukee: Often overlooked not just in the major leagues but in his own lineup, J.J Hardy quietly put up 24 home runs with a .284 average last season. Hardy will either be batting second in the lineup or 5th or 6th which makes him valuable in the runs scored category if he bats second and the power categories if he bats in the middle of the order. Hardy seems to be in his prime and is in a contract year this year or next so he will be looking to put up some numbers this year.
Jhonny Peralta, Cleveland: I think the Indians will win the AL Central this year and believe that Peralta will have a monster year. Overlooking the way he spells his first name, Peralta brings some big numbers to the table. His 23 homers were a career high last year and he should beat that if he plays a full season. It is likely that someone drafted Peralta so you would probably need to trade for him, however, you can probably get him cheaply and he could help lead you to a championship.
Casey Blake, Los Angeles Dodgers: Overlooked last year because of the acquisition of Manny Ramirez was the impact that the Casey Blake trade had on the Dodgers. Blake had a great second half, almost seeming reborn in Los Angeles. With the emergence of the Dodgers young bats like Either, Kemp and Martin, Blake should get bumped to the bottom the order, but he will still produce.
Adrian Beltre, Seattle: Despite playing for a last place team, in a big ballpark and playing with injuries, Beltre still banged 25 home runs. Beltre is definitely looking for a big contract next year so he could put up some numbers similar to the 40+ home runs he hit in his last contract year. Beltre does not have much protection in the lineup, but a clean bill of health should increase his numbers and make 30 home runs a possibility.
Edwin Encarnacion, Cincinnati: At just 26 years old, Encarnacion is starting to come into his prime as a power hitter. The Reds lineup should be good, and Encarnacion is likely to be in the heart of the order. Trying to hit home runs might make his average dip but he should have comparable power numbers to last season.
Lastings Milledge, Washington: His numbers did not look that impressive last year but he did hit .300 in the second half of the season and finished with 14 home runs and 24 stolen bases. Milledge got off to a slow start last year in his first season of playing everyday, but with his first full season under his belt his numbers should increase. The Nats are building a decent young lineup and Milledge will be a major part of the rebuilding process. Expect him to be a 20/20 guy this year.
Adam Jones, Baltimore: He is my favorite player in the Major Leagues but he is not on the list solely for this reason. Jones started off badly last season and was showing signs of life before a foot injury put him on the shelf for the rest of the season last year. He bulked up in the spring and has been murdering the ball. Jones still needs to work on increasing the batting average and making more consistent contact but his power numbers should increase. I think he is a star in the making that you can get cheaply and keep in your keeper leagues for years.
Jay Bruce, Cincinnati: Bruce burst onto the seen last year banging 15 home runs in just 64 games in the second half of last year. He ended last year with 21 homers and more then 50 RBI's in limited action and should improve with a full season under his belt. For Bruce, 30 home runs seems more the attainable. Bruce has shown the propensity to strikeout but his power numbers will make him very intriguing.
Ricky Nolasco, Florida: The Marlins are starting to get back to the pitching and defense style of play that won them the World Series in 2003. Nolasco will be anchoring a Marlins rotation that ESPN’s Buster Olney called the best in the NL East. He had 15 wins last year, a 3.52 era and 186 strikeouts which made him one of the most productive fantasy pitchers by years end. Those numbers will be hard to duplicate but Nolasco has shown that he has all the tools to be a successful starter. His numbers could improve greatly making him a top 20 starting pitcher.
Zack Greinke, Kansas City: Greinke struck out a career high 183 last year and lowered his ERA to a respectable 3.47. Greinke was a highly touted prospect and is finally coming into his own as a major league starter. The Royals have an up and coming rotation with Greinke, Meche, and Bannister and their lineup should be able to score some runs in support of their starters. Greinke should improve his numbers from last season, and will strikeout around 200 batters this year.
Fausto Carmona, Cleveland: It is hard to call a guy who finished second in the AL Cy Young voting two seasons ago a sleeper but Carmona is precisely that. An injury plagued and poor 2008 performance help made him go in the late rounds in many fantasy drafts. Carmona is healthy and will be looking to prove that the 2007 season was not a fluke. While he might not reach his numbers in 2007, he should have in the neighborhood of 15 wins and 120 strikeouts.
Kevin Gregg, Chicago Cubs: While Carlos Marmol was getting drafted in many leagues, the Cubs named Kevin Gregg their closer over Marmol. I, like many, expect the Cubs to win their division which means there will be many save chances for Gregg. He saved 61 games in his last two seasons with Marlins and with the Cubs success, the 30 save mark seems likely.
Houston Street, Colorado: Street was just named the Rockies closer over Manny Corpas. Injuries have made Street go from a top five fantasy closer to someone who is going un-drafted in many leagues. Colorado will not win as many games as they did in their run to the World Series two seasons ago, but they will not be as bad as they were last season. Street has shown to be healthy and is showing the same form he showed early in his career in Oakland and that means big time fantasy numbers.

I really wish I had taken a picture of this amazing loaf of bread, because yeah. It was that good.
A few months ago, my mother picked up a box of Hodgson Mills GF bread mix. It sat in the cabinet as I experimented with my own recipes, and I just figured I would get around to it...some other day. Well, some other day came. A box arrived at the house last week, containing a late Christmas present, also from my mother. A shiny new Cuisinart bread machine! I was simultaneously stoked and intimidated. I've managed to get along really well with the KitchenAid stand mixer that Aunt Linda and Uncle John gave me, but that's about it as far as me and kitchen technology. I can't even use an electric can opener. No joke. They're noisy and I can never get the lid of the can to catch just right, so I eschew them. The cream separator Brett gave me came with instructions in Russian, which is kinda hilarious, but I know I've only got a month or so until Mandie's goats start producing milk again and I'll have to dominate that contraption. Whatever it takes will be worth it when I have fresh cream again.
I digress. Anyway, there was no need to be intimidated. The bread machine was the easiest machine I've ever used. I mixed up the wet ingredients and dumped them in the pan, dumped in the dry ingredients, put the yeast on top, closed the lid and turned it on. That was it. There's a handy gluten-free setting, and that's the only other button I had to mess with. I walked away and did something else productive (watched bad tv, played some Scrabble), and a couple hours later I had a perfect loaf of white bread with a perfect golden crust. I know it's supposed to cool, but since this playa don't care, I immediately cut off a slice. It was delicious! There was no grainy texture! It was just bread! I don't know if the magic was in the mix or the machine, but this is so, so going to happen again. I'm really looking forward to trying all my own recipes in it now. This bread machine has changed my life, y'all.
That's all. On that subject, anyway.

agressive cocker spaniel puppy
I have two 8-week old puppies. One is female and one is male. The female will suddenly become vicious when they are playing together. I spray her with water about 7 or 8 times before she pays attention and stops the attack. I feel very concerned at this point.

Floods hit Co-op profit
THE summer floods which caused havoc across many parts of the country hit insurance company CIS in the pocket with claims of around £55m, it emerged today. The toll from weather- related claims wiped out healthy profits of £22.6m accrued by the general insurance arm of Co-operative Financial Services, the parent company of CIS and the Co-op Bank.
The toll from weather- related claims wiped out healthy profits of £22.6m accrued by the general insurance arm of Co-operative Financial Services, the parent company of CIS and the Co-op Bank.
Insurance losses came in at £32.3m after flood and storm claims.
Manchester-based CFS, which said in July it wanted to axe 1,000 jobs as part of a cost-cutting drive, saw profits tumble from £80.2m to £38m in the 28 weeks to July 28 as a result of the weather losses.
The general insurance business, which insures around 650,000 motorists and 950,000 households, handled around 5,000 more claims after the extreme weather.
The Association of British Insurers' latest estimate suggests the floods in July and June could eventually cost the wider insurance industry more than £3bn.
Before the claims payout, underlying profits were 16 per cent higher, at £92.9m.
CFS chief executive David Anderson said he believed the weather had been the worst in 60 years, but this would not lead to an immediate hike in premiums.
He also said there were no plans to hike the Co-op Bank's mortgage rates, as some other lenders have done this week as a result of the global credit crunch.
"We review our rates frequently, making sure we're in line with the market, but there's no immediate increase."
Turning to the results, he said the 16 per cent increase in underlying profits, prior to the weather claims, was `encouraging'.
He said: "Bad debts are down 10 per cent to £53.2m, which is positive, and reflects the tighter credit controls we imposed. We have seen a nine per cent rise in customer balances to £8.1bn, which means we are less reliant on the money markets during this difficult time. Our savings balances from individuals and from corporates are bigger than our total lending."
The bank also paid out £6.3m in refunded overdraft charges to its retail banking customers during the first half.
Gross written premiums fell 19 per cent to £226.8m, as the company also looked to withdraw from higher-risk business.
But profits at the banking arm - which includes online bank smile - were two per cent ahead at £45.5m, after the business saw strong growth in customer lending balances and deposits, and saved £3.5m in a cost-cutting drive. The job cuts announced in July amount to 10 per cent of CFS's workforce.
Greater Manchester will bear the brunt, with more than half the cuts expected in Manchester, Stockport and Salford, as well as at Skelmersdale.
Management and staff in `back office' roles like finance, administration and human resources will be hit.
The cutbacks will reduce costs by £50m a year, CFS said.
The business is also investing £250m in plans to grow its retail and corporate banking operation, as well as the insurance business. The investment will provide new systems and support for customer-facing staff.
Mr Anderson said: "Our goal is to be the UK's most admired provider of financial services, and we have to have competitive products.
"To do this we have to get our costs in line with everybody else."
