The Top 5 AL Cy Young Contenders in 2009 – Era – EzineMark

It’s been a great season of baseball in 2009, and there are quite a few contenders for the Cy Young award. Let’s have a look at the most likely winners.

Zack Greinke. Who knew the kid had it in him? Greinke seemingly came out of nowhere in 2009, and many dismissed his scorching hot start, thinking he’d eventually lose his stuff. He really hasn’t. With a 12-8 record, an AL-best 2.43 ERA, an AL second-best 197 strikeouts, 5 CGs (tied for most in the AL), and the lowest WHIP (1.12), Greinke has all of the stats that a Cy Young winner would typically have, and then some. Unfortunately, he plays for a bad team and this may limit his chances.

Felix Hernandez. The King has finally arrived. After a few seasons of hype, and flashes of brilliance, Hernandez has strung together a brilliant year. A 12-5 record, 2.73 ERA, and nearly a strikeout per inning have brought the Mariners back to a respectable state. He’s a big reason for it.

Roy Halladay. The subject of many trade rumors last month, and with good reason. Halladay’s 13-7 record, 3.03 ERA, 5 complete games, and just 24 walks (less than one per game – talk about control) are some of the best in baseball.

Justin Verlander. While teammate Edwin Jackson has a better ERA (2.86) than Verlander (3.38), Verlander’s 14-7 record and his AL-high 211 strikeouts give him more flash. Plus, he’s a bigger name. The fact that he’s on a first-place team doesn’t hurt either.

CC Sabathia. His ERA at 3.59 is higher than any of the other contenders, but he leads the AL in wins with 15 and has a low WHIP (1.13). The fact that he’s playing for a team with the most wins in baseball, and is in the midst of his first season there, goes a very long way toward Sabathia’s chances.

Other names to consider:

If Edwin Jackson continues to put up great numbers, he can’t be counted out (no matter how relatively unknown he is).

Josh Beckett was a legit contender very recently, but some bad starts brought his ERA up to 3.65. With a very strong finish, he can bring himself back into contention.

Look Formal and Fabulous with Debenhams – Dress – EzineMark

With Royal Ascot just around the corner in June, and no doubt a stack of thick wedding invitations on the doormat, you’ll be turning your thoughts to shopping. Looking formal but still fabulous can be a tricky balancing act, but Debenhams is a great one stop shop for occasionwear.

Annual posh racing meet Royal Ascot could be mistaken for a high-end fashion show instead of a serious horse-racing event. It’s one occasion where it’s important to dress up to the nines, and the dress code is notoriously strict.

Those lucky enough to gain access to the Royal Enclosure have a very strict dress code that must be adhered to. Ladies must wear a formal day dress with a hat or substantial fascinator. Off the shoulder styles, halter-necks, spaghetti straps and miniskirts are unacceptable. Gentlemen in the Royal Enclosure must wear a morning suit with top hat, in either black or grey.

In the slightly less formal Grandstand viewing area men and women should be dressed in suitably smart attire, although hats are not compulsory. Ladies day is traditionally the day when the well-to-do fashionista’s are out in force, and all manner of spectacular hats and headpieces can be seen bobbing about on the lawns.

Whether you’re the lucky holder of a Royal Ascot ticket, or have a formal wedding to attend this summer, Debenhams has all that you need to look suitably smart without looking stuffy or stale.

With an amazing choice, and designer names at fantastic prices, Debenhams is an affordable choice for occassionwear. And you can make your purchases even more affordable when you use a 5hop5.co.uk Debenhams Discount Code.

For the Royal Enclosure, a thick strap and demure length are required. The Debut Black Printed Organza Dress would be a great choice for those who are most comfortable in black, but want to lighten it for the occasion with a floral print and light organza overlay. Pair with simple black court shoes in either patent or suede and you’re ready to mingle.

For those who want a slinkier style with a designer edge, the Tonal Grey Tiered Shift Dress by Star by Julian MacDonald has just the right mix of sexy and sophisticated. The Grey Sherbet Flower Toe Court Shoe will soften the look beautifully, and the chunky heel is both on trend and practical for outdoor events. The last thing you want to be worrying about while trying to look fabulous is your spindly heels sinking into the lawn.

The more mature lady may want to go for one of this season’s formal maxi dresses. Jacques Vert has a lovely Plum Chiffon Maxi Dress that is a flattering, rich alternative to black. It comes with a matching scarf for those conscious of the upper arm area, and would look perfect put with the Decadent Rose Fascinator and matching kitten heels.

Men looking for a formal suit will find themselves spoilt for choice in Debenhams menswear department. A wide range of suits from designer names, including Pierre Cardin, Jeff Banks. Ben Sherman and J by Jasper Conran are available at Debenhams, without the designer price tag.

Classic black or grey suits always look stylish, but for the Ascot Grandstand or a wedding, why not consider navy, which looks great with a crisp white shirt and bright green tie, or a stone linen suit, which goes perfectly with pastel shades.

At Ascot it’s all about the hats, and for some formal weddings only a hat will do. Debenhams does a wide range, adorned with giant bows, feathers and flowers. However, not everyone feels comfortable in a hat. If the dress code allows, why not go for a stylish and youthful fun fascinator instead? Or even one of this season’s heavily adorned headbands.

Debenhams is a great place to find all those little finishing touches that turn an outfit from fabulous to spectacular. A dress is only as good as the underwear worn with it, so make sure that you invest in some body sculpting garments to go underneath slinky numbers.

To round off your look nicely, take a quick trip to the beauty department where you can pick up a gorgeous new signature scent, and some fresh new makeup to complement your outfit perfectly.

An hour spent at Debenhams.com could solve all of your formalwear problems, and have you looking like a society princess from head to toe. However, if your budget is decidedly more pauper than princess, or you want to save extra pennies to spend on Pimms and strawberries this summer, don’t forget to get your Debenhams Promo Code from 5hop5.co.uk first!

Major Peter Badcoe – Victoria Cross Vietnam – EzineMark

May 27, 2014 By Leave a Comment

British Military Medals- Victoria Cross. Highest award for Bravery

Peter Badcoe was born on January 11th, 1934, in Adelaide, where he grew up and attended school. He went into public service in South Australia and served as a clerk. Peter served in the 16th National Service Battalion for 7 weeks during 1952. Peter entered the OCS (Officer’s Cadet School) at Portsea, Victoria on July 12th of that year. He graduated successfully on the 13the of December, 1952, and was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant.

Peter was assigned to the Royal Regiment, Australian Artillery. Peter served for approximately three years as a third grade general staff officer with the Directorate of Military Operations and Plans at the Army Headquarters. In the summer of 1965, Peter transferred to the Infantry Division and his promotion to Major saw him assigned to the Infantry Center at Ingleburn, New South Wales.

It was in August, 1966, that Peter was assigned to the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam. His assignment was that of Sector Operations Officer in Thua Thien Province, South Vietnam. In his roll as an advisor, Peter was involved with the training and operations of the Ruff Puffs in his district. “Ruff Puffs” was a nickname given by American troops to members of the South Vietnam Regional Forces and Popular Forces (RFPF). His duties would normally be in planning, staff work, and liaison, but as was the case with many advisors, he would often take advantage of the leeway given to advisors and lead his forces into action. One such situation came about on February 23, 1967.

While acting as advisor to a regional force company involved in sector operations at Phu Tho, he caught a radio transmission advising of the death of an American advisor, and the wounding of an American medic. It was at this time that Peter, disregarding his own safety, sprinted the more than 600 meters across the bullet swept zone to attend to the injured medic and secured his safety. He then led a platoon in attacking the machine gun emplacement, killing the gunners, and recovered the body of the fallen American advisor, and sprinted back to his command post, all the while taking enemy fire.

It was but two weeks later, while deployed to Quang Dien with the Sector Reaction Force countering a Viet Cong attack on the sector headquarters, Peter, who was away from the command group due to the break down of their vehicle, joined the headquarters forces. He personally led the forces over open ground to capture the heavily fortified enemy position. His actions of that day prevented the capture of the district headquarters by the Viet Cong, and certainly prevented heavy casualties.

It was exactly a month to the day later, on April 7th, 1967, that Peter would commit his final act of valor. He was with the 1st Army, Republic of Vietnam Reaction Company in Huong Tra when they came under heavy enemy fire. Peter and his radio operator were left some 50 meters ahead of the force when they retreated back to a cemetery to take cover. He ran back to the company position among the graves, all the while taking enemy fire.

He rallied his troops to counter attack, but they were again stopped by heavy enemy fire. Peter stood to toss a grenade at the enemy position, but was pulled back down by his radio operator, who was trying to save Peter’s life. Again he stood, but this time was his last, as he was killed by enemy rifle fire. Allied artillery later assaulted the enemy positions and ended the battle. Peter Badcoe was buried at the Terendak cemetery in Malaysia.

In addition to the Victoria Cross, Peter was also awarded the Australian Active Service Medal, Vietnam Medal, United States Silver Star with Oak Leaf (awarded twice), National Order of the Republic of Vietnam (Knight), Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm, Gold Star and Silver Star (three awards), Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces Honor Medal, First Class, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal.

Peter left behind his wife, Denise, to whom he was wed on the 26th of May, 1956, and their three daughters, who presented his medals to the Australian War Memorial for display in the Hall of Valour.

The Premium Hair Masking Technique with Advanced Tools

May 24, 2014 By Leave a Comment

There are many touchy skills that a photo processing editor must possess to be a master of his craft. One is to know extraction method. It is done with selection and for any editor the end result will determine if he knows his craft well. If he is not able to extract the stuff, the imperfection will not be able to support the other montage it is being done for. Take for example a racecourse where a shot of horse in motion has been captured. The picture of the majestic animal can become the talk of the town only if the flying mane and bushy tail does not look out of place or unruly. The premium hair masking technique with advanced tools can be the best solution. With the new software tools the extraction is much easier and hair removal can be a better process. The rest of the elements, which may prove to be frail and important to the main artwork, can be left untouched. Just like human hair is a tad difficult to be masked so is the case with any animal’s fur coat. It could be a picture of a horse racing towards its final line at the derby or a dachshund playing Frisbee in the park, or a Cocker Spaniel being splashed with water. Each has the same problem. How can the fuzzy strands be stopped from flying in different directions and spoiling the look of the picture? While it is easier to control human beings being shot, the same cannot be said about animals that have a mood of their own.

The first job is to select the portion of the image and encircle the problematic hair. It is very obvious that one cannot erase single strands of hair. And each strand also cannot be masked in several layers. So a part of the image has to be selected and extracted. This procedure begins with the Quick selection tool. A loose area is encircled as the first step. Since the area is loosely selected the edges have to be refined. The smart radius option is used if solid background objects have to be tackled around. A dark background is actually useful for a wisp of hair to be treated with the hair masking technique. It can also work well in case of fibers or upholstery that needs to be tamed. The editor will have to decontaminate the colors. This tool will be able to make the edges vanish where the background may still have a trace of an unwanted strand of hair. Using the refine edge can be the key to making the successful transition from the bad patch to the brand new montage set. A preview is essential. Essential toggling between various views will help the editor to move on with the process.

While working each editor will realize that one kind of process may not be right every image. He has to find a middle-of-the-road approach to each new hair masking technique. This way he will be able to turn every challenge into an opportunity.

Comfortable Fashion with Punjabi Suits – wear – EzineMark

May 23, 2014 By Leave a Comment

Fashion changes every fortnight to say the very least. So many women like to fill up their wardrobe with the latest fashion and do away with the old to stay in line with the latest trends. Women have various styles to experiment with. The range extends from jeans to skirts, and traditional to western wear. Of all the attires that the women in India have been sporting, punjabi suits have remained constant though with adaptations that lend a more contemporary & urban look in many cases. Salwar Kameez emerges as an evergreen and most preferred wear for women across generations and cultures. This attire is no longer categorized as a typical traditional wear and fit for conservative women. The modern woman has incorporated this style in her daily life. Today, salwar kameez are worn for formal as well as casual occasions. Moreover, many working women opt for salwar kameez as a comfortable office wear option.

As fashion has evolved over the years, punjabi suits have seen many alterations. However, basic concept of the attire remains untouched. The kameez forms the upper part of the suit and the salwar is the bottom. The duo is combined with a chunni or dupatta. Kameez is mostly knee length or sometimes lower whereas salwar stretches down till the ankles.

The variety of styles that we see in punjabi suits have come through experiments with their necklines, kameez length, the bottom circumference (making it either broad or narrow), sleeves etc. In effort to make a salwar kameez a bolder outfit, the traditional wear was clubbed with styles like low backs, shorter kameez, off- shoulder styles and much more. The other kind of styling includes salwar kameez in different materials and in combination of materials with hand crafted work. This styling has definitely given salwar kameez a new fashion arena to explore and has qualified the attire to more modern style of dressing than a typical Indian wear.

Sarees may seem to be the more famous and loved Indian wear, but salwar kameez provides much more comfort than a saree actually can. Unlike sarees, Punjabi Salwar Kameez combinations are easier to wear, especially on busy office days. Their versatility makes them ideal to be worn at any occasion. Not only they are easier to carry but hassle free to maintain as well. Also, this attire is perfect for any season. The styling of the attire makes it comfortable to be worn for a long time as well. As they are available in various materials like cotton, silk, organza etc., you can take your pick and dress as you like. However, cotton punjabi suits are best for Indian climate most time of the year. Artistic embroidery & thread work makes this traditional Punjabi wear even more attractive and long lasting in the Indian women fashion collection.

Moreover, punjabi suits are perfect for any body type. Often women refrain from indulging in particular fashion trends as they do not suit their body type. Also, this ethnic Indian attire can be styled to enhance your pluses and hide your flaws. So if you are lean or on the healthier side a customised salwar kameez will make sure you look your best.

Punjabi suits can now be bought online as well. Latest styles and fashions are exhibited on the websites of leading manufacturers; thus, giving you the ease of shopping online from the comfort of your home.
