The history of technology is a long and storied one, from the first caveman banging two rocks together to the latest smartphone equipped with 2K screen, fingerprint scanner and a rock-banging app.
So you can imagine that putting together a list of the greatest gadgets of all time would be quite challenging. The Stuff team has shed blood, sweat and tears – our office arguments can be vicious – to put together our list of the best kit, going all the way back to the 19th century, and all the way forward to the present day.
The Engineering Age
In the early days, gadgeteers didn't have touchscreens and octa-core processors to play with.
In the very early days, they didn't even have electricity. But despite that, these gadgets from a time when technology went "clunk" have weathered the ages, and are still in widespread use even today. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And if it is broke, fix it with a wrench.
The TV Age
The period from the late 1950s to late 1970s may not be long in calendar terms, but looking back at it now it seems as if the modern world went through several ages of social and technological upheaval.
It's a time that started with teddy boys and (via hippies and disco bunnies) ended up with punk rockers – not to mention man travelling to the Moon... and noodling on the Moog.
As the period where mechanical gear started to be superseded by electronics, the 1950s to 1970s makes rich pickings for our ultimate gadget rundown.
The Silicon Age
In one single generation, the invention of the integrated circuit and the silicon microprocessor took computers out of the laboratory and into the home. Computers went from being the tools of science and industry to the playthings of the proto-geek, finding their way into all kinds of tech.
In short, The Silicon Age is where things start getting interesting. Games consoles, video recorders, portable music and personal computers - the modern world as we know it starts here.
We got game
A new crop of more powerful consoles was changing the way we played video games, while a few face-mounted 3D units allowed a glimpse at the future; technology was reshaping the way we listened to music; and Apple was making a really nice desktop computer you couldn't afford.
When you think about it, the 1980s and early '90s were just like today, only with different haircuts.
Our tasting menu of history's greatest inventions continues with a trip through the era of the Game Boy, the MiniDisc and the first Apple Mac.
Rise of the WWW
On 12 November 1990, Sir Tim Berners-Lee published a proposal to create a "Hypertext project" called the WorldWideWeb. 24 years later, you're probably reading these very words on a smartphone more powerful than the computer that helped man take its first steps on the moon.
We use the internet to to stalk our friends and laugh at cats. Or sometimes it's the other way round. Either way, we couldn't live without it.
The era which saw the exponential explosion in the internet's growth also introduced a plethora of era-defining technology, which we look back on with a warm, fuzzy sense of nostalgia.
These are some of the best gadgets of the WWW era. How many of them did you own?
The Mobile Age
The first iPod, the first BlackBerry, the first digital cameras... yes, in the late '90s and early '00s our gadgets began migrating to our pockets and going with us wherever we went.
It was also the era in which Mark Zuckerberg launched his social networking site Facebook (although we're sure the Winklevoss brothers would disagree), meaning that you'd pretty soon be able to carry your friends with you every time you got on the bus. And most importantly of all, maybe, it was the era in which the archetypal mobile phone, the Nokia 3210, arrived.
All of which is why we're calling this one The Mobile Age. Read on to find out what's in it.
The Connected Age
In the middle years of the first decade of this century, the internet got better. A lot, lot better.
It got better mainly because using it got a lot faster, with many more people switching from 56k dial-up to relatively swift broadband. And that extra speed made a lot of things possible: internet video, for instance, and streaming music around the home, and taking virtual trips around distant cities.
Cue the arrival of YouTube, Google Maps, Sonos and much, much more…
The Web, Everywhere
In the early days, we could only really access the World Wide Web from two places: home, or work. This all changed with the introduction of a phone from a company named Apple, which is still influencing our technology today.
Little Green Robots vs The World
As our rundown drifts into the last years of the noughties and into the beginning of the 21st century's second decade, things are starting to hot up: life-changing apps, laptops thin enough to fit in a manila envelope, drones, the first tablet computer that wasn't a total embarrassment and a smartphone platform capable of competing with Apple's iOS.
From the first great Android phone to the iPad, this three-year period is packed with some of the most iconic gadgets and apps of the modern age.
The Future Starts Here
In the early years of the 21st century, a flurry of new gadgets emerged - smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, laptops that weren't made of coal - and in the last few years we've seen these devices outgrow their early, experimental versions to become fast, formidable fulfiments of their early promises.
At the same time, a new crop of emerging technologies has emerged: 3D printing, virtual reality and wearable tech are all at that nascent stage that smartphones were 10 years ago. Our run-down of the greatest gadgets of all time concludes with a look at the last few years.

So this is one of the first assignments for my Animation class. I had trouble converting the file so it was not seen until now, haha.
We had to have two characters exchange an item or two among each other. I wanted to do something with a devil haha. The Fatty is trying to eat healthier but the Devil temps him with a random box of free candy!
Hilarity ensues.
And I have added some new additions to my ETSY SHOP!
All are original pieces done with markers and all are affordable!

Crocodile Central with Animation!
A double awesome post!
So last night, I did this piece on livestream and it was totally awesome. I got a nice small viewing group of cool people who chatted it up and watched me color, played some groovy tunes and my brother even came in and annoyed the piss outta me. And it was all in 7 hours! Haha!
I'm really pleased with how the colors came out. Voodoo Croc's always kidnapping Jillyan and trying to cook her or something. She always gets away though. Bondage...yea...cough...
For anyone who doesn't know what livestreaming is, its a website where you can record your screen and people can watch you do art live, as long as its digital. Its way cool and I'm totally gonna do it again.
Check it out.
This was another assignment for my Animation Workshop class. For most people in the class it was supposed to be their first stab at doing lip sync, but I had already done it plenty of times so I decided to challenger myself.
I thought of my crocodile character and how I always wanted him to be voiced by Tom Waits, so that's what I did. The snout was really tricky, and I still don't think I got it 100 % but I'm really pleased with the results.
Boy I love crocodiles...
More animations next week!

Doggone That Brer Rabbit!
I don't know why I suddenly became interested in Disney's 1946 feature Song of the South.
It could be because Disney has never released the film on any Home Video format due to potential racist controversies and is widely sought after. Or could be my interest in southern traditions and classic folklore. Or could be that the animation and characters of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and Brer Bear are so strong that they just appeal to me. Well whatever it is, I digs it.
I did a lot of experimenting on this piece, I tried to make a creative composition with the characters where your eye would led around the picture and not away from it. And I've been wanting to try doing some backgrounds too. Not so proud of that though, looks too much like a little Golden Book or something, even though I used that as a bit of inspiration, but not completely my own yet.
I was also planning on adding this Uncle Remus, but he didn't fit into the composition and it ended up looking better without him. Sorry Uncle Remus...I hope you don't mind.
And if anyone's interested, you should go sign this ONLINE PETITION to try to get the movie released to DVD.
Thanks for lookin! I'll have some sketches and animations up real soon.
Well, so long...

How Ya Come Off?
So I wanted to post some animations but I still need to convert the files. Blaaah. So here's some sketches. I don't really like posting em but I'm trying to keep this blog frequent.
Here's the Devil guy from one of the animations I wanted to post. He needs a name.
And here's a sea monster character I've been drawing a lot lately who also needs a name.
Some Song of the South doodles.
"Doggone, that Brer Rabbit is shooo' a caution! He sho' eez!"
I don't know why I suddenly got into this movie so much. Its just appealing to me.
I love Brer Fox.
It's too bad Disney hasn't released it due to racism.
And lastly here's an opposum trying to hit on some honey 'possums. I've been sketching a lot with thin pens and I gotta say, its really invigorating for some reason. More of those soon to come and I promise next post will have animations.
And if you will all direct your attention to thee right of my blog layout, you will see a plethora of lovely link buttons for good friends and awesome artists.
Thank you and goodnight.

Coming soon?
TORONTO — One lingering questions around the Blue Jays right now is, "When will third baseman Scott Rolen be coming back from the disabled list?" According to general manager J.P. Ricciardi, Rolen could rejoin Toronto soon.
It would seem to make sense that, if the Blue Jays fell completely out of the playoff hunt, that the club would consider just telling Rolen to take the season's last month off to rest his fatigued left shoulder, getting an early start to the offseason to come back at full strength for Spring Training.
Ricciardi shot down that suggestion today.
"He's feeling better," Ricciardi said. "Actually, we had a good report yesterday and he's looking forward to coming back. I think we'll get him back sooner than later."
Following this series against Boston, the Jays have an off-day on Monday and open a set against the Rays on the road on Tuesday. Rolen is currently rehabbing in Florida and will probably stop by the Trop to visit with the Jays during that series. So, to be continued…
Today's lineups:
at 1:07 p.m. ET at the Rogers Centre
Jacoby Ellsbury, RF
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
David Ortiz, DH
Kevin Youkilis, 1B
Jason Bay, LF
Jed Lowrie, 3B
Jason Varitek, C
Alex Cora, SS
Coco Crisp, CF
PITCHING: LHP Jon Lester (12-4, 3.17)
Marco Scutaro, 2B
Jose Bautista, 3B
Alex Rios, RF
Vernon Wells, CF
Adam Lind, LF
Rod Barajas, C
Lyle Overbay, 1B
Kevin Mench, DH
John McDonald, SS
PITCHING: RHP Jesse Litsch (8-7, 4.20)
UPDATE: 1:04 p.m. ET — The Jays have optioned Shaun Marcum to Triple-A Syracuse in light of his recent command woes. More later on bluejays.com.
56 Comments
Marcum to Syracuse is just plain dumb he had a bad day,This guy can pitch and we will need him to make a good showing,I think JP is in panic mode if he thinks you can't help him keep his job your gone.
Wow, where have all our pitchers gone? Hope they are giving Cecil a spot start, probably not.
Marcum hit a guy with the bases loaded, it was a bad pitch. I'm sure he will get his command back. Marcum has been great this year. I don't get it either.
welikeroy-I posted this for you on the previous thread:
Just so you know, with Wells in the lineup our record this year is 32-40. With him out of the lineup our record is 30-20, so your assumption of this team being better with him in the lineup isn't backed by the facts. Right now Vernon is ranked 20th in MLB center fielders.
Why would anyone ever option Marcum to AAA and recall Parrish to take his place? Parrish on his very best day can't hold Marcum's jock strap. This smells like trouble to me, what are we not being told?
Litsch is not long for this game,only one hit but 50 pitches in 2 INN.Nice shot by Wells.
Cecil has had 4 starts in AAA and only 1 has been a quality start. He has been struggling with an era of 4.91. He starts today, so hopefully he starts settling in. One way or the other, I doubt he gets a spot start up here for quite some time.
Rickie Romero has had the reverse experience in that he had 3 good starts and then got pounded in the last two games. His problem is BB's with 14 in 28 innings.
Brian Wolfe looked like he was making a nice conversion to starter, but got clobbered in a start a week ago, so I think his progress is delayed.
The long and short of it is the cupboard is bare in AAA as one might expect when John Parrish is our best answer..
Halladay went back down to AAA 3 times and it worked for him . Marcum has struggled since he has come back from the DL , hopefully he finds his pitches and returns soon .
Frankly it's about time Wells showed up-maybe he read my critical post. lol-I don't think so.
Let's hope Jessie hangs in there for 5-6.
indigo-somehow I don't think that's the issue. Before this last start Marcum gave us 3 high quality starts in a row and won all 3 games.
There's more to this story than what we're being told so far-that's for sure.
Indigo Halliday went all the way down to A ball at one time and you are right it did help him,He also said so himself.
Gsumner it's funny but I was thinking the same thing lol.
Man with two outs this team seems like it's hitting .100 with RISP. It's like if you want the 3rd out, have a runner on 2 or 3rd and its guaranted.
Nice sac fly by Bautisa though.
I am not devious so I don't look for ulterior motives or try to second guess JP's delusional mind . Maybe just maybe , they sent Marcum down to find his control etc . They just did the same thing to Litsch and he seems to found those adjustments .
Don't look now but that "no name kid " from last year is putting the hurt on your sox…lol…….
indigo-think about it. No one sends down their number 3 starter for having one bad game. In the 3 previous starts before yesterday, Marcum went 18 innings, gave up 4 runs and won all 3 games.
Litsch was different, he struggled for quite some time before being sent down. There's another shoe to drop on this Marcum situation.
That's got to be the most runs ever scored on Lester in 3 innings.
He has had more than 1 bad game and he hasn't gone deep into many games. He has had control issues since coming off the DL. I don't see this as a bad thing . Jays season is over , they are now in the position of spoiler. Gaston wants to see what he has and what he needs for next year . I would prefer to look at this as the glass half full instead of half empty . There is enough pessimism on this blog as it is ……..lol…..
Gsumner now I know he read your post lol.
3 games before the 3 you are speaking of, Marcum only pitched 14.2 innings and gave up 16 runs , walked 7 and only struck out 7 ……not the usual stats for Marcum . I hope they sent him down to help him
I wish they were my Sox. I would be living large, lol. I have seen many pitchers this year make the Red Sox hitters look bad. No surprise here. My fellow Pinellas County resident also known as the no name kid is doing well. Boston will be lucky if they make the playoffs. If they do make the playoffs, an early exit.
I hear you , Buccholtz has to be a disappointment . He certainly has the stuff , he just has to find it .
Yanks Kennedy is the same way , great in AAA then has a meltdown when he gets called back up . Maybe its the pressure of a big market team . Thas not a problem in TO ….lol
Jays need to save some of these runs for Burnett's game tomorrow
Indigo I see the love of your life bosoxbrian is back on line lol.
Jays need to save some of these runs for Burnett's game tomorrow . Dice-K , the escape artist pitches
For sure he read my post-lol.
sorry for double post , thats what i get for sending mail and posting……
I will be at tomorrow's game so I will wave to you , it will be like finding Waldo , hmmmmm make that Waldo-ette
I'm off to the airport and catching a flight to Toronto. I know where to find the "love of my life". Indigo will be at the game. lol.
Buchholz pitched that no hitter in early Sept. last year. It might have been the worst thing that happened to him. Expectations were very high for him coming into this season. Perhaps too high. This could be the best thing that ever happened to him. A nice kick in the a–. lol. I'm not sure how he'll like the Days Inn and Motel 6 in those A.A. towns. lol.
He probably pitched the no hitter because he was scared to death of the Boston fans……lol…. Like I said earlier Halladay got sent down 3 times and came back as one of the best pitchers in baseball . I don't wish that for Buccholz , j/k , but maybe Dice-K can teach him his houdini act . It will be a long game tomorrow with Dice pitching
Buchholz..Buchholz ..one day I will get the spelling of his name right
It will be a longggggggg game for sure with Dice-K on the hill. No doubt. Dice-K is a sportswriters nightmare. Jordan wants to get home a.s.a.p. but with Dice-K on the hill. Mrs. Bastian shouldn't get dinner started until 10:00 p.m. tomm. night. LOL!!
What is amazing is he doesn't usually pitch more than 5 innings , tops out his pitch count , walks every third or fourth batter and gets out of it with no runs …..lol….. Somebody needs to check and see if he is a "phenom" in those stats. I hope they serve breakfast after the game …lol
I'll buy you breakfast, lol. Very rarely does Dice-K go anymore than 5 innings. As you said a high pitch count. With the bases loaded this year, hitters are 0 for 13 against him. He likes to walk the tightrope. Jim Palmer said the other night, living on the edge. Boston with the posting fee spent over 100 million on him. Not money well spent yet.
Sox are using their whole BP in this game . Dice may have to go 5.1 maybe even 6 innings tomorrow to give them some rest …….lol… I believe we had this discussion last yr about the worst signing Burnett or Dice-K ……hmmmm…..Burnett was cheaper and he gets the job done quicker.
I was just saying the Jays have better record with him in the lineup since he got off his latest injury.
Sure he is ranked 20th, because he has been injured most the season, as I previously stated. That is a misleading statistic. Being ranked 20th is actually pretty good for the amount he has been out.
Vernon Wells is great player for us and we are better team with him in the lineup, no question, his injury problems are what really hurt. The record with him in the lineup is unfortunate, but no way are you going to tell that substituting him in the lineup for Brad Wilkerson, Inglett, Mench makes us a better team.
There are a lot more reasons why our record was like that with him in the lineup (e.g. bad RISP, terrible hitting by other guys). Also, one player cannot make that much of a difference, baseball is a team sport.
Your assumption that having an injured Vernon Wells is better than having him healthy one is false. We are now getting more production from a 3rd outfield position, that we were not getting with Brad Wilkerson etc.. What makes Vernon Wells a bad player for the Jays, is the fact that he is injured so frequently and he will always be that way.
Sorry about the timing. Hard arguing this on a day where he is 5 for 5 with 2 homeruns, but I still would have made the same arguement if he was 0 for 5 with 3 strikeouts.
Do you get the feeling you and I are intruding on Indigo and Bosox. lol
Man is it nice to see League bring it at 98-100mph again. That speed with his movement is almost unhittable.
What do you get if you cross Dice-k with Youk. ANS,A very slow pee-pee-dance lol.
sorry for the grammar mistakes. doesn't do a whole lot for my arguement.
good one garry ………lol…
Bosox and I are having a mad, torrid baseball affair . Then again he did offer breakfast …..lol….
Have to go now –great game.
I can just see it now Bosox takes Indigo for breakfast at McDonalds
I forgot to say lol. lol. lol.
Do you have a McDonald's in Toronto? Do you really have that American crap they call fast food? lol. Actually McDonald's usually has a solid breakfast, it's their other stuff that can kill you. lol. Would you care to join us Garry? It's on me. I can use all my McDonald's gift certificate's I got as a kid. LOL!!! Actually if I recall you have McDonald's at The Rogers Center. I went to Sox–Jays series back in August of 1990, when it was called Skydome. It was the first time I got a quarter pounder and then went back to my seats. We sat along the third base line. I was quite impressed with the city of Toronto. Very clean and the people were very nice. If it was a warm climate, I could live there. I'm sure you guys are very thankful I do not live there. LOL!!!
I wonder where Indigo is sitting tomm.? Boy am I wondering. lol.
I agree with welikeroy about Vernon and if you think about it Vernon's only been injury prone the last 2 seasons. It could just be coincidence and I wouldn't be surprised if he is healthy for the majority of next year. Not too long ago people were questioning whether Roy Halladay is injury prone and now people are praising his endurance and ability to bounce back (the ball off his head as an example). Hey if Burnett can have a healthy season Vernon can too. Tomorrow's game should be a lot of fun.
Bosox I live 1700 miles from T.O.and we have McDonalds out here to,As for the winter last year with the wind chill it was -53 for a week T-Shirt weather.
Gsumner maybe you can go to breakfast with Indigo, all you have to do is look for the best looking girl there and you will find her also she will be well dressed and well spoken.
Hey I wouldn't dare cut Bosox's grass, besides I think Indigo has extended an invitation to him, so it's up to Bosox to take her up on it.
Why is Eckstein not playing? His records past and present shows his performance higher than McDonald's past history
and present on"ON BASE PERCENTAGE, SLUGGING PERCENT , and BATTING AVERAGE according to TORONT's STATS. Watching ECKSTEIN since he began in the Major with the Angels he is not as fancy as McDonald but he has made
many outstanding plays. He now has 9 errors but some of the errors were on a wet playing field and throws on double play balls have been directly at Overbay and one bounce
about 6 feet in front of the first baseman Overbay dropped the ball which was knee high and not a trapped ball. Another time Overbay took his eye away from the ball and it hit him belt high. Eckstein got the error. Also the game the Game that Halliday pitched before the All-Star Game. Eckstein made a spectular play by diving and knocking the ball down preventing a run from scoring, according to the visiting game announcers, Fine the Official Scorer gave the batter a base hit. However, the next batter hit a home-run off Halliday and the Official Scorer changed his ruling on the previous play and gave Eckstein an error so that the three runs scored on the Home-run would be UNEARNED RUNS on Halliday's record. The radio announcer's from the visiting team questioned this change and said it was outrageous that the Official scorer would do this even it took a hit away from their team's batter. McDonald's records fielding and batting according your stat record of him past and present
is worst than a rookie coming into the game. The Toronto Fans didnt even give Eckstein a chance but BOOED Him from the start, As you know but it looks like your GM Ricarrdi has given orders to the Mgr Gaston to bench Eckstein. I would like to know, why? Here is a Guy that won 2 World Series Rings, was the Most Valuable Player in the third World Series he played and in 2007 Batted for the average 309. I believe there is an investigator somewhere in your area specializing
on discrimination of this type, Imagine a proven major league player getting 4.5 million dollar salary sitting on the bench not playing just to have a player with a poor baseball record taking his place. OH! Eckstein also made the All Star Team in the past as well as the INTERNATIONAL ALL STARS with the Baseball Star Mr. Bonds. A response would be appreciated since I am an 86 year old minor leaguer and former Varsity Baseball Coach of a well-known large University and my life span is rather limited. Thank You.
We should feel for Brett Cecil tonight. In an earlier post I stated he struggled in his first 3 starts at AAA Syracuse and had only one quality start of 4. That quality start was his last outing on August 17th, with a line of 7 innings, 2 hits, 1 bb, 6k's and no earned runs to lower his era to 4.91.
Well tonight, Cecil did one better. His line was 7 innings, 2 bb's, 5k's, NO HITS and no earned runs to lower his era to 3.55; almost a perfect 7 innings. He turned it over to the pen after 86 pitches of which 55 were strikes leading 3-0.
The bullpen gave up 4 runs in the 9th, Syracuse scored 2 more in the bottom for the win, but unfortunately for Cecil, it was a 7 inning, no hit, tough luck no decision.
As of tonight, Cecil has given up no runs in his last 14 innings with only 2 hits. Not too shabby for a 22 year old, we drafted in 2007, who started the season in A+ Dunedin.
In all the games I have watched both live and on TV, never have I seen or heard anyone BOO David Eckstein.
As a Blue Jay fan , we have watched John McDonald make some pretty amazing defensive plays . I agree Eckstein is a better offensive player but I don't agree that he is a better defensive player . The MLB Official Scorer can't change a ruling just to give Halladay or any other pitcher less earned runs, but I believe they review the play and do change rulings based on such reviews. You seem to think the Jays and their fans are out to get Eckstein , nothing could be further from the truth . Jays need great players like any other team . As for Riccardi telling Gaston what to do , I don't see that happening . I think Gaston is looking at all the players and the chemistry between them, to see what he has to work with and what he needs to make this team a winner. We ,as fans understand your frustration , we all have players we would like to see play more but we don't make those decisions and therefore can't give you the answer you are looking for . We can only give you our point of view . I hope this has helped but I may I suggest you write the Blue Jays to ask your question. Best of luck to you and take care .

I can tell from your post, you're a empassioned fan of David Eckstein and that's great to see. However, I think you have a few things wrong and are not aware of other issues.
First, John Macdonald is a fan favorite here, because of his defensive abilities which turn into high light reels every time he plays. He is viewed as the finest or one of the finest defensive short stops in MLB.
Few Blue Jays fans wanted Eckstein signed as a result which likely explains why Eckstein is booed-if he is, because I'm not aware fans boo anyone other than A-Rod. As you probably appreciate, when your team is loosing like ours for the last few years, high light reel plays provided by Macdonald entertain the fans and it is an entertainment business more than a sport; hence the fan favorite. So as disapointed as you are in JP, I can assure you that your disapointment isn't as much as the many fans who didn't want Eckstein signed in the first place. In our view it was a total waste of $4.5 million dollars.
You are dead wrong about your suggestion of any discrimination. JP does not make daily playing decisions, that's done by Cito Gaston-a black man who, as a professional puts the best 9 guys on the field each day to win that game. Cito, I'm sure, has experienced a lot of discrimination in his life, but there is NO WAY, Cito practises it. And although I am not a JP fan, no one would ever convince me JP is a racist, because if he was he wouldn't have signed Eckstein or Cito, so think about how silly that inuendo is under examination.
What Cito and staff have managed to do is turn Macdonald into a pull hitter, with the believe it would improve his hitting. Well guess what it has, to the point that in the last 10 games played by each player Macdonald is hitting for better average than Eckstein at .289 versus .286. The other funny thing is Macdonald has developed a knack for hitting with risp with 2 outs along the way and now leads the team at .353BA and his overall hitting with risp is rising almost daily.
As you can appreciate, with Macdonald hitting better and superior defensive skills, Cito should be questioned if he didn't play him at short stop every day.
Personally, I wish David Eckstein well in his career and if you review a few blogs back, you will note I made a very favorable posting regarding him and the situation with the youngster in Fenway. Clearly David is a gentleman and a class act and for that he gets my respect.
That being said, I still believe it was a mistake to sign him and I really hope he isn't signed for next year.
I know that im jumping the gun a bit on Cecil, but with all the hype from Baseball America and the way he has moved up so fast this year, I personally, can't wait to see him in a Jays uniform pitching.
It is probably not best for him or the team, but pitchers usually can make quicker strides through the minors.
Snider is also a guy getting a lot of hype, again Baseball America, and the way he has been playing (thanks for keeping us all updated by the way, saves me from occasionally checking out MILB.com).
There are definately some exciting things happening in our farm system and I just can't wait to see some of these guys.
Although, I'm as ancious as you are to see Cecil here, I would hope the Jays are a bit cautious with him and send him home after the Syracuse season. As you know I'm generally pressing to get all these kids up here, but Cecil is different.
The reason is, Cecil was a closer in his college days and a reliever last year. We turned him into a starter late last year, but he only pitched 49 innings which was a career high for him. This year to date he's pitched 113 innings and will likely have another 3-4 starts which would get him up to 130-140 innings. That is a big adjustment for a young arm, and I just hope we don't press him and cause injury. If he finishes strong, we might see him in the mix for the rotation next spring, although again erroring on caution, it might make more sense to keep him at AAA all next year and complete the transition. He has a devastating slider, low to mid 90's fastball and a changeup in the works. It would be nice to get an update from the Jays on how he's coming along on his 3rd pitch, which would give us some insight as to how effective he will be up here.
Snider looks like he's adjusted to AAA, but we have two other kids with good bats also on the horizon, 1st baseman Brian Dopirak and catcher J.P Arrenciba, both of which are in AA New Hampshire. Arenciba, a 2007 draft has risen over Robinson Diaz ( for me at least) as our number 1 catching prospect, and is going to be special. So far the stats for the season for all 3 are as follows:
Snider: .273ba/.357OBP/.478slg, 22hr"s and 87rbi's
Dopirak: .311ba/.376OBP/.565slg, 28hrs, 97 rbi's
Arrencibia: .300ba/.323obp/.538slg, 27hrs', 101 rbi's
Interesting in that Arencibia is the only player to date in the entire organization with 100+ rbi's-in 118 games, no less. About the only knocks on Arencibia is he doesn't take many walks and still struggles hitting with risp at .246, but he is looking like the next power catcher. Personally I think he should be called up in September. I'm sure Cito and staff can do a quicker and faster job of"finishing him off" than sending him to the AFL.
I would like to see Dopriak sent to the AFL. Although he's had a great season, he has had some up and down years in the minors and it'd be nice to see how he performs at a higher level.
Just a general comment … I am getting tired of logging onto MLB.Com and finding the lead story is once again about the Yankees (of course), the Red Sox (of course), the Cubs (of course) and the Mets.
HEY MLB. There are 28 other franchises out there. Maybe the NY Post can play favourites but not MLB.com.
Example, today the Blue Jays are playing the Red Sox a day after the Jays pounded on the Sox. So is the lead story about the Jays and 15 game winner AJ Burnett? No its about DiceK.
Which is't to say that DceK isn't a story but here is a chance to showcase a team other than one of he above listed.
You might want to go to THe Toronto Star (link on this page) and read Richard Griffins mail bag comments. Interesting stuff.
No question, we have a lot of talent down in the minors right now. I know that they are all very young guys, with the exception of Dopirak who is 25 and has been the minors since 2002. All the hype right now is coming from Snider, Cecil and a little bit from Arencibia, Scott Campbell, (even though he would have to do some climbing to get into our infield).
I'd love to see Arencibia up here, but he is still very young and its a lot to ask a catcher to make the climb from AA so quickly. I agree that he does look more promising than Diaz, but Diaz is also almost 3 years older. Regardless, however, if Arencibia is the Jays catcher of the future then he would definately be worthy of a September call up, and we could certainly use one of those guys as a backup catcher right now with a disgruntled Greg Zaun.
Again, these guys are very young, with the exception of Dopirak, if you can call 25 old, lol.
Cooper, Jeroloman (if we need any more young catchers) and also look nice. Romero has not been aweful this year, if you can call 6-8 with a 4.88 ERA between AA and AAA not aweful. It is actually a step up for him, the way he has struggled in the minors to date.
Thank you for your rapid response to my inquiry on David Eckstein. He went thru hard times coming up being 5'7″ tall. Eventhough he was a walk- on at the University of Florida he achieved twice in being the College World Series MVP, he broke several records at UF. He was unable to make local Seminole Community College baseball team in Sanford, Fl. even he was a top High School baseball player. When the Scouts assigned him up for Boston Red Sox, he was awarded the most valuable player in the Red Sox Minor League Clubs (A & AA) then they brought him up to Triple (AAA) (Rhode Island) then they would not give him a chance in the majors and waived him to Edmonton Club (AAA) when Anaiheim Angels (L.A. Angels)
Manager Sousa signed him up from being a second baseman to the Shortstop position and his past records shows his high and excellent accomplishments. During all of these past days he was an "A" scholar eventhough his Father was a very sick person. I agree that McDonald is a smooth fielder but to get to the majors you have to be an offensive ball player. From your Statistical Table and McDonald's
History for the past years from Cleveland to the present,
his batting average is really low. As to the FANS appreciating a baseball player you might recall the great greeting Eckstein received from the LA Angels fans when the Jays played their latest game in Anaheim Angels. Thank You Wishing You High Success in you work. OH! Gaston didn't even give Eckstein a chance to play against the Angels. What a Cold Hearted Manager if he has some thing he dislikes about a player. Enjoy reading your writings.

Rick Perry's embarrassing foray into national politics will end today according to multiple press reports. In one of the worst fields of presidential candidates in modern political history, Rick Perry stood out as one of the chief yahoos in the confederacy of dunces.
This shouldn't have been a surprise, as Perry's main claim to fame leading up to 2012 was his suggestion that the State of Texas might secede from the union.
His debate "performances" have become legendary. He made George W. Bush sound like Lawrence Olivier. He consistently made outrageous statements, like this past week when he suggested that the leaders of NATO ally Turkey were "Islamic terrorists."
Perry hoped that right wing hysteria might sweep him to the nomination, but Republican voters recoiled at his utter incompetence. You can't rally voters if you can't manage a coherent sentence. This week, Erick Erickson of RedState.com urged Perry to drop out. Understandably, conservatives do not want Mitt Romney as their nominee. Newt Gingrich is also a disaster for the GOP, but at least he has some credibility among conservatives and can handle himself in a debate.
Rick Perry finally realized that he had no chance in South Carolina and conservatives needed to stop splitting the anti-Romney vote. Perhaps he's not quite as dumb as he sounds.
The "oops" candidate now leaves the national stage as one of the biggest laughing stocks in American politics.

A Glam Military Wedding at Home of the Commandants in Washington, DC
With black, gold and silver details, luxurious florals, glitzy décor and plenty of feathers, Charo Kent (35 and a clinical coordinator) and Antoine Bates's (34 and a captain of the US Marine Corps) wedding had an Old Hollywood glamour. The couple's garden ceremony included an arch draped with chiffon and podiums topped with gold vases filled with white roses and ostrich feathers. "I love when people get extremely dressed up to go to a party," Charo says. "There's something about putting on a gown, getting your hair and makeup done, and attending an elegant event." Art deco notes found in the invitations, table numbers and bridesmaid dresses also set an upscale tone. At the reception, tables were covered with sequined linens and topped with candles, white roses and ostrich feathers. "The energy of the room needed to say 'let's dance all night,' " Charo says.


text: Danske Fragtmænd, Denmark - Constructor Workplace Storage Reference The logistics center just outside Denmarks second largest city, Århus, houses 106,000 square meters of warehousing, terminals, administration and long goods-area. Three out of the seven buildings were purchased by Danske Fragtmænd Århus. Each of their warehouses handles articles differently, and thus the pallet racking forms the pivotal point for the logistics needing a rational and secure handling system. Solution: The project demanded that P90 pallet racking and portable offices for four warehouses of each 2,000 sqm were delivered. The P90 galvanised pallet racking is to a height of 7.5 meters with a total capacity of 10,982 pallet places. The solution allows for a possible extension of an extra supporting level, this would provide space for another 2,500 pallets, if required in the future. The installation could then accommodate 125,000 ton goods. For office space in each of the warehouses Constructor Danmark suppliled a total of 14 portable offices. A portable office is delivered to your warehouse as a plug-and-play installation, ready for immediate use. A portable office can be used for several purposes: working place, conference room or rest room. Capacities: Height of installation: 7,5 m No. of pallet places: 10.982 (potentially 13.400) No. of portable offices: 14

Climate change forcing a 'move it or lose it' approach to species conservation?
What does it take to save a species in the 21st century? The specter of climate change, with predicted losses to biodiversity as high as 35 percent, has some scientists and managers considering taking their conservation strategies on the road.
Managed relocation (MR) is literally the physical relocation of endangered or threatened species of plants and animals, by humans, to new, and foreign geographical climes. It addresses the concern that climate shifts may make many species' historical ranges environmentally inhospitable, and that the rapid speed of change and habitat fragmentation will prevent them from adapting to these new conditions or moving themselves. And while conservationists argue that the practice may not preserve some species, such as the polar bear, relocation is a hotly debated option for others' long-term survival.
Arizona State University environmental ethicist Ben Minteer and ecologist James P. Collins ask hard questions about the practice, also known as assisted colonization, assisted migration or assisted translocation, in their article "Move it or Lose it" published October 1 in the journal Ecological Applications.
Stress on native species is just one of the unknowns that come into play with translocation of species. There also remains the more critical question of how to evaluate such management decisions, according to Minteer, an associate professor in ASU's School of Life Sciences and researcher in the Center for Biology and Society, and Collins, a Virginia G. Ullman Professor of Natural History and the Environment in ASU's School of Life Sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"New approaches to conservation, such as MR mean the need for a new 'ecological ethics' geared toward problem-solving in ecological research and policy," says Minteer. "Beyond asking 'should' we do it, there's the more pragmatic ethical question: what separates a 'good' from a 'bad' MR activity?" In a time of rapid global change, Collins says that "ecologists and biodiversity managers will have to think hard about not only what management actions are possible, but also which ones are acceptable ethically."
Such discussion is as critical as the technical and scientific questions of relocation: the "can we do it and how we do it," the authors state.
Minteer points out that while moving species around is nothing new, the climate change rationale for doing so is. "Looking past creating parks and shielding species from bullets, bulldozers and oil spills in favor of the anticipatory relocation for conservation purposes strikes many as different, in terms of motive and perhaps the extent of the consequences."
Minteer and Collins's call to reassess conservation goals in the face of climate change is timely. While the practice has no guarantees of success, managed relocation of species is already being put into practice. The Florida torreya tree is an example, along with the proposed relocation of the Quino Checkerspot butterfly and the Iberian lynx.
Collins says that the real scientific concern with species relocation - voiced by prominent skeptics - is that crossing evolutionary boundaries via managed relocation will produce a number of negative ecological and genetic consequences for species and systems on the receiving end.
How to leap the ethical gulf separating decisions about which species should be moved and "saved" is also critical to the debate. Though some argue that human activity has already played an active role in shifting species and that some populations are "naturally" undergoing range shifts without assistance due to climate change in response to human pressures as well as natural ones.
However, as Minteer points out, "There is also the more philosophical objection to the fact that 'we' are doing this, rather than the populations themselves, and that this is therefore another example of human arrogance toward wild species and the environment more generally."
Does the shift to focus on relocation strategies mean that more traditional routes to preserve species, such as species migration corridors that connect forest patches, will become anachronistic?
"Traditional philosophy and policy of conserving species will likely change to reflect a more anticipatory and interventionist mode of thinking," Minteer says. "What this spells for conventional norms of ecological preservation is that they may have to give way to a more dynamic and 'novel systems' model rather than historical ones."
In other words, the "metabolism" of conservation will have to speed up to keep in step with climate change, Minteer believes.
Some believe that the distraction from the use of traditional protected areas and historical systems models, will also, once managed relocation is legitimized, open the floodgates and that people will start moving species willy nilly around the landscape. "I think that fear is exaggerated, though the precedent that would be set for ecological policy by formally adopting MR, even as a last resort, is indeed a significant issue," says Minteer.
"How to formulate new approaches to ecological research and management landscapes in an era of rapid and global environmental change raises original and difficult ethical questions about how to save species and protect landscapes," Collins states. "We can improve the decisions we make by using more collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches to such problem-solving and decision-making."

NEW DELHI—The gang rape and death of a young Indian woman has sparked an outpouring of national grief and outrage, and a question: Will the tragedy prompt change, in laws and attitudes toward women, in the world's largest democracy?
The body of the victim, a 23-year-old physiotherapy student, was flown to New Delhi on Sunday, where it was received by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi, president of the ruling Congress party, a government spokeswoman said. She was cremated a few hours later.
Details of the case have shaken the national conscience. Six men riding in a bus on the evening of Dec. 16 picked up the woman and her male companion, a 28-year-old software engineer, beat them as they drove around South Delhi for more than an hour, and stripped them before throwing them out of the vehicle, police said.
The woman's intestines and genitalia were severely damaged, likely due to an iron rod allegedly used during the assault, doctors said. She died of severe organ failure on Saturday at a Singapore hospital. Her name has yet to be released.
WorldStream Video
Police have charged six men with murder, rape and other crimes, police said. Four of the suspects lived in a slum not far from where the couple was picked up; one of them was the regular driver of the bus. The suspects are in judicial custody. Neither the accused men nor lawyers representing them could be reached for comment.
The case has brought into the public eye a threat to women's security that is at odds with India's image of itself as a modernizing nation that is striving to provide equal opportunity to all its citizens.
Just as the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School forced American politicians to address questions about gun control, the Dec. 16 rape has spurred discussion of how to improve women's security in a country where an evening bus commute or a nighttime walk down a city street can be a frightening endeavor.
Official inquiries are looking into potential legal changes to enhance punishments for rape and whether authorities committed lapses in the Dec. 16 case.
"I want to assure you that your voice has been heard," Mrs. Gandhi, India's most powerful political figure, said in a televised statement to protesters on Saturday.

"While she may have lost her battle for life, it is up to us all to ensure that her death will not have been in vain," said Prime Minister Singh said on Saturday.
Some activists are calling for a broad sexual-assault law that cracks down on groping and other misbehavior toward women often euphemistically referred to here as "Eve-teasing."
Others have proposed administrative reforms that would require police to register complaints by rape victims within a certain time frame. Activists say in many cases police try to dissuade women from filing cases.
Reports of rape have increased in India over the past few decades. In 1973, fewer than 3,000 cases were registered with police; that had jumped to over 20,000 by 2010.
Many activists say the problem lies in the low conviction rate—in 2010, just over a quarter of alleged rape perpetrators were convicted—and the slow wheels of justice. Rape cases often drag on for years, slowed by inadequate judicial resources and attention, activists say. One proposal is to create special courts to fast-track rape cases.
There are 40,000 to 100,000 rape cases pending nationwide, according to estimates by women's activists.
Smriti Minocha, head of the women's justice initiative at the Human Rights Law Network, an advocacy group, put the focus on prevention, saying more Indian states need to set up specialized police task forces for women's security, as seen states such as Kerala and Gujarat.
Ms. Minocha said her fear is that the national and state governments won't follow through on major legal overhauls once the protests die down. "Looking at history and the habits of our government, I really wonder," she said.
Beyond the need for legal change, India must confront the sexism that is prevalent in society, activists said, pointing to frequent tone-deaf remarks by male Indian politicians.
Banwari Lal Singhal, a member of Rajasthan's state assembly, proposed on Friday that skirts be banned from school uniforms to prevent sexual harassment. Other politicians have recently called for children to marry younger to prevent rapes. In many parts of India, rape victims are considered tainted and unfit for marriage, and are sometimes pressured to marry their attackers.
Human Rights Watch, in a report released Sunday in India, points to doctors' examination of victims of alleged rape as evidence of how India often blames women for their own assault. In the test, which appears in Indian jurisprudence textbooks and is admissible in court, a doctor checks the victim's vagina for signs of previous sexual activity.
The test is often used by defense counsels to win acquittals by purportedly showing the victim to be promiscuous, human-rights groups say.
Thousands of protesters took to the streets Saturday and Sunday, gathering in central Delhi, not far from Parliament, to express grief over the victim's death and voice their outrage.
Many protesters sat on the road and lighted candles. Some scrawled messages on a white canvas that activists planned to give to President Pranab Mukherjee.
A 12-year-old girl wrote a message to the deceased rape victim in black crayon: "You are lucky. Many people pray for you." The girl said there were countless women in India who get raped and assaulted daily, but few get any attention. She said she wanted to grow up in a society that is safe for women.
Some protesters called for harsher punishments for convicted rapists, such as chemical castration and the death penalty.
Some activists say the death penalty would be a major deterrent for potential rapists. Currently, the punishment for rape in India's penal code can range from seven years to life imprisonment, though courts can levy lesser sentences. The murder charges in the Dec. 16 case allow authorities to seek capital punishment for the accused.
One protest organizer, lawyer Momin Malak, said the message-writing campaign was meant to make people reflect on why so many rapes are happening. He added: "Men's patriarchal mentality toward women has to change."
Bringing about new Indian laws, let alone changing men's attitudes, could be difficult. Protest movements, often involving youth, have burgeoned in the past few years in India amid growing frustration about corruption and poor governance, but they have yet to score a concrete policy victory.
Last year, anticorruption activist Anna Hazare's 13-day hunger strike sparked massive protests in New Delhi and brought unprecedented pressure on the government. But the movement has failed thus far to get what it wanted: a new law creating an independent agency to police graft. Legislation to create such an agency has stalled in Parliament.
For now, the Indian public is portraying the victim in the Dec. 16 rape as a martyr for the cause. With the victim's name yet to be released, news organizations have given her fictional names such as "Nirbhaya," or Fearless One, and "Damini," the name of a Hindi movie about a rape victim's fight for justice.
Television channels flashed "R.I.P. India's Daughter" when she died early Saturday. The Sunday Times, a leading newspaper, carried 13 pages of coverage on the aftermath of her death.

Equine health work earns professor place among state's top scientists
Submitted by Communications and Marketing
When it comes to being "healthy as a horse," one need only think about the work of Elizabeth Davis.
An associate professor of clinical sciences and section head of equine medicine and surgery at Kansas State University, Davis researches equine health and ways to improve it. Recently the Ad Astra Kansas Initiative named her as one of the top 150 scientists to operate in Kansas within the past 150 years.
Despite that saying about a horse's health, the animal is actually prone to viruses and illness. Davis hopes to curb that by investigating the immunologic, neurologic, respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases that affect the horses.
In her studies Davis has investigated antimicrobial proteins as well as mechanisms that allow immunizations to protect horses from infection. These findings are expected to improve the overall understanding of warding off infectious disease as well as enhance vaccine protocols combating these diseases.
Currently she's researching how vaccines affect horses on a cellular level.
Throughout the year Ad Astra is spotlighting Kansas researchers, inventors and engineers from the past to the present who have advanced their field. Davis is the 13th active faculty member at K-State to be named a top scientist in the project, "Science in Kansas: 150 Years and Counting," which celebrates the state's sesquicentennial. It is meant to emphasize the importance of science and the career possibilities in research and innovation to K-12 students. She joins other historically noted Kansas researchers on the list like George Washington Carver, Charles H. Sternberg, Clyde Cessna and Clyde Tombaugh.

Up until now, Arcane Studio's first-person action-adventure game Dishonored has been shrouded in mystery. Now, publisher Bethesda is finally pulling back the curtain that has been veiling the game for the past several months, revealing details on the story, gameplay and the title's unique feature set.
These details come fresh off of a video interview that GameSpot recently had with Dishonored's creative directors Harvey Smith and Raphael Colantonio. In the clip, they discuss how their approach to open-ended gameplay fosters a renewed sense of creativity and player choice within the game experience. From summoning a pack of rats to possessing a nearby creature, the powers given to the player allow for a wide array of different ways to tackle a particular obstacle.
They also went on to emphasize the rich detail of the game world, noting that the team has really put a lot of work into fleshing out the verticality of the world, allowing for a true sandbox-esque experience. For all of the details, be sure to check out the full video interview below.
Is it just me, or does the game's visual style look a lot like BioShock? Share your thoughts on Bethesda's upcoming action title in the comments below.

With the exception of making yards and yards of seed tape (fall carrots), much of last weekend was spent in my kitchen. I'm sure I have a solid week's worth of food posts! Hopefully, I can squeeze in the time needed to sit down and write seeing as how Sunday night I ended up pulling my remaining Easter planting of root vegetables. I have lots of canning and juicing on the horizon! 🙂
Sun-ripened apricots are one of my favorite fruits! While at the local market paroozing the fresh picked produce (come on now, I can't grow everything), I noticed a bounty of apricots. Realizing I had never made apricot jam, I decided the time had come to remedy that!
After flipping through my canning books and online food sites, I decided to make Hitchhiking to Heaven's amaretto apricot jam. It turned out awesome and it is now my new favorite add-in to my daily snack of Greek yogurt. By the way, if you have never added homemade jam to Greek yogurt you need to get on that. Like now!
Apricot Amaretto Jam – {via}
4 cups apricots, peeled (about 24)
3 cups of sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup amaretto (I used an "airplane" sized bottle of Disaronno, it was perfect!)
Blanch apricots to remove skins. Remove pits and mash. Add sugar and lemon juice. Over med-low heat, cook mixture 'til sugar is dissolved; continue cooking for 10-12 minutes. Apricot jam tends to foam up quite a bit, so don't move too far from your stove! You can test the doneness of your jam by conducting a gelling test. Place several spoons in the freezer and once you have finished cooking your jam, take one of the frozen spoons from the icebox and scoop out just a bit of jam (not a full scoop). Place it back in the freezer for about 3 minutes, then hold it vertically. If your jam slowly creeps down your spoon like the 80's horror flick the Blob, it's done! Once the jam is done, remove it from the heat and carefully stir in your liqueur. Ladle into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4″ headspace, and process in a boiling water bath according to your recommended altitude time. For me it is 5 minutes. It may take about two weeks for your jam to reach a hard set.

Swift, Bieber prevail at 2012 MTV EMA
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- Taylor Swift beat Rihanna in the battle of the women at the 2012 MTV EMA, taking three out of a possible five awards.
Rihanna and Swift topped the nominations with six and five nods respectively, but 22-year-old American singer-songwriter Swift walked away with Best Female, Best Live and Best Look.
Barbados-born R&B singer Rihanna went empty handed, while Canadian pop star Justin Bieber matched Swift for the boys and earned Best World Stage, along with repeat wins for Best Pop and Best Male.
South Korean pop sensation Psy's "Gangnam Style" won the award for Best Video and the late Whitney Houston was named Global Icon for her impact on pop music.
The 19th-annual MTV EMA was broadcast live from Frankfurt's historic Festhalle Sunday.

While the .com celebrates its 30th anniversary this week
We all know these web extensions:.com, .net, .us, .co.uk, .org, etc.
But how about these?
.hiphop, .dating, .holiday, .fail, .photography, .ninja, .sexy, .cat, .cash, .gallery, etc.
Butterfly Twists turns web extensions into stories.
When these web extensions were recently released to the public, young British ballerina brand Butterfly Twists saw them as hundreds of little stories, on their own, waiting to be hijacked. This fits perfectly into their brand promise: "A Pair For Every Occasion", and became the perfect opportunity to feature all their new SS15 collection, and to create a fresh approach to e-commerce.
Each new web extension could be hijacked to host a specific short story, illustrating different occasion to wear their ballerina shoes. This in turn created countless storytelling possibilities.
[THE CONCEPT] https://youtu.be/XXP1TdiJ-y0
[WEBSITE] www.butterflytwists.com
Butterfly Twists worked with Fred & Farid Shanghai and spent the past few months developing a totally new online shopping experience. A series of more than 100 websites consisting of interactive videos, short scenes and digital games was available through web extensions, each of them featuring and selling a specific pair of ballerinas.
To unveil the hidden content, the mechanism is simple: users type URL extensions in the dedicated box on the Butterfly Twists site header, or press the shuffle button. As an example, if a user goes to butterflytwists.cat, he will discover a cute video of kittens playing with ballerinas.
Always Twist.
Butterfly Twists is a young British ballerina brand created in Notting Hill area of London in 2009. The brand DNA of Butterfly Twists has always been the 'Twist', to shine, to stand out among competitors; their own creation was a Twist when they invented their foldable ballerinas' concept. This "Twist" has been refreshingly executed in this first digital campaign for the brand.
