Racefan - Unregistered April 26, 2009 9:00 AM Interesting race, nice to see Dani up there again. I'm not a fan but I do think he's essentially a decent enough wee fella and certainly too talented to end up on the scrap heap at his age. Good race by Lorenzo, sound result for Vale, very good damage limitation by Casey. But exciting?,................no! Should have been, worlds top five riders on the same track within a few seconds of each other and running a similar pace. But I've seen more excitement and action on track at a kids minimoto race. Something about this formula just isn't right. 31 agree 4 disagree

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Hancoch Early OriginsThe surname Hancoch was first found in Yorkshire where one of the first records of the name was Hanecock Birunc who was listed in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273. The Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 list: Warynus Hancok, Robert Hancok, Willelmus Hancok and Agnes Hankok as all living in Yorkshire at that time. [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Bardsley, C.W, A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames: With Special American Instances. Wiltshire: Heraldry Today, 1901. Print. (ISBN 0-900455-44-6) Hancoch Spelling VariationsHancoch Spelling VariationsThe English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Hancoch has been recorded under many different variations, including Hancock, Hancox, Hancocks, Hancocke, Handcock and others.

Another 181 words (13 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationFor many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Hancoch or a variant listed above: Edward Hancock settled in Barbados in 1654; George Hancock settled in Virginia in 1654; John Hancock settled in Virginia in 1635; Robert Hancock settled in Barbados in 1654.

text: 200/200 on Zeno Clash. Odd one really. I played the game a looong time ago, finished the single player game and loved it but got zero points for my troubles. Played it a bit with my housemate and realised most of the points were linked to the two player ONLY challenge rooms, which were fairly simple, even with an inexperienced second player over split screen. Mopped up the three or so missable single player ones with ease as once you've completed the main game you get given cheats which essentially make you a god in the single player campaign. |

Thanks for this fascinating article.
However, I cannot help but think that the man was simply and merely an eccentric visionary artist consumed by fanciful ideas of flight(and perhaps influenced by reports of the 'Airship Wave.)
His drawings on Google Images seem like circus-banners in jewel-like tones to me, almost a signal that this is just artistic entertainment.
And his fictional Aero Club reminds me of the the "Liars' Clubs" - a form of entertainment common in rural areas in the late 1800s...
In some ways this all reminds me of another fanciful volume- The Voynich Manuscript, where hundreds of colorful botanical/flora drawings are drawn- none of them real. -
For me these wonderful works of art are like a time capsule where probability met imagination. As a side excursion from the reports of sightings themselves these are one of the less than a handful of multimedia creations that synthesize art and myth. The Voynich manuscript, The Story of the Vivian Girls by Henry Darger, or, in a more linear narrative, although not multimedia, the work of Jules Verne who was enamored of science inasmuch as his work was scrupulously researched. Verne may have been an influence for these "flights" of imagination in the illustrations, which are not diagrams or blueprints. I think this represents what I see so often parallel events influenced by a variety of sources that are lumped together without any discernment in order to prove this or that point of view. Fictions get blended with facts, and then these beliefs become almost what could be sidered more art than reality. At the same time, I do think some sightings were probably accurate and could have been technically feasible, but the blurring of distinctions makes the fog thicker.
then again, what better concealment for experimenting with a newfangled flying machine could you find than a place rife with eccentric visionaries and hoaxers? i am from this area of California, going all the way back to the Chukchansi as well as with English and German immigrants who ranched in the foothils just south of Yosemite. I grew up camping in the Sierras and along highway 49. I cannot convey how enchanting i find this aspect of the Great Airship Wave of 1897.
But more to the point - i hope enuf to the point for you, my dear Mr. RR - i wonder about 1) transportation and storage in these areas (for example, towns along 49 were constantly burning up and fire is still a very big danger - which makes me think that the caves which riddle this area would be a much better storage/work space than a wooden barn) and 2) weather. Flying in these parts is dangerous even now, due to turbulence associated with the mountains, believe it or not tornadoes in the great valley, as well as the fearful tule fog. All of which circumstances were known as dangerous back in the day as well.
Columbia is now a state park (tourist trap according to our parents, who we begged to take us there. When we got there we kinda had to admit they were right ;) So there should be plenty of records available for anyone wishing to dig into fire history.
Love this series of discussions on the 1897 Airships!!! i'm inclined to think there could have been a stray cadre of inventors as well, there are many very remote areas around the Sierras in gold country even today. Happy evening, steph

Have you spent countless nights lying awake in bed wondering what exactly Andie MacDowell has been up to lately?
If so, you can sleep easy tonight knowing that the actress and L'Oreal spokeswoman has actually been busy working to establish a new career in stand-up comedy.
Ok, not really.
But writer, producer, and BUST contributor, Jill Soloway teamed up with Michaela Watkins (the hilarious comedienne that SNL inexplicably cut after only one season) to give you an idea of what that may be like.
Here's their Funny or Die video of Andie's debut stand-up act.
Also for you're viewing pleasure, here's Michaela playing the sniffly celebrity blogger, Angie Tempura (I thought this character was hysterical).

Environmental awareness has been a consistent theme in and around Johannesburg, with special focus going towards educational efforts in the field. The World Wetlands Day celebrations held at the Botanical Gardens in Emmarentia is no exception to this trend, and students from around the area learned much about the importance of often misunderstood and underappreciated wetlands.
The programme, held at the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens in Emmarentia, formed part of the World Wetlands Day during which communities are every year sensitised on the importance of wetlands.
One of the attendees, Andile Sibeko from Westbury Primary School, said she had learned how to look after and save water animals because they provide us with food and also ensure that the water we drink is suitable for human consumption.
The City has for some time now been running programmes to educate its residents about the importance of wetlands. A number of outreach programmes have been introduced both to share valuable information on wetlands and to ensure their preservation wherever they are found within the municipal boundaries.

You all still have a couple of weeks to get the Halloween books together for the kiddos, but I wanted to give you time to check these ones out. Very cute for a spooky time of year!
Haunted Party, written and illustrated by Iza Trapani is filled with rhyming and counting, starting with our 1 ghost host and working up to 10 trick or treaters at the door, then working back down to 1 again.
All sorts of creatures attend the Haunted Party, including goblins, werewolves, and vampires, but all are written about in very non-scary rhymes. It's not the best set of rhyming verses I've ever seen, but the cute enough that kids will enjoy it,
Filled with typical Halloween traditions, such as bobbing for apples, pumpkin carving, and all the "creatures of the night," this is a nice intro to Halloween for little kiddos.

Druscilla's Halloween, written by Sally M. Walker and illustrated by Lee White, is a fun look into just why witches ride broomsticks!
Our main character, Druscilla the Witch, is pretty upset because her knees crack so loudly and give her away when she tries to scare anyone. She and her cat, Drizzle, attempt to come up with a new way for the witch to be frightful, failing miserably at every turn...until they come up with flying in on a broomstick!
The story is very cute, nice and mild for those new to the whole "scary Halloween story." The illustrations are cute too, though each page is a bit busy. An overall nice read aloud for Halloween.

Monster Madness, illustrated by Brenda Sexton (I couldn't find an author listed anywhere!) is one of those just-plain-fun books that your littlest ones will enjoy for Halloween.
Simple rhymes compose a story of different characters getting ready for the big Halloween party. Each of the spooky characters, including a ghost, a vampire, a skeleton, etc., are illustrated in a bright and simple way, so no worries about scaring the kiddos.
A button on the front cover, brings the interactive nature of this book to life, as lights start flashing, music plays, and a wheel of the characters starts to move. A giant pop-up on the last page completes the experience.
Just a lot of fun, nothing literary or award-worthy in this one, but your kids will love to watch the cover, hear the rhymes, and rip out the pop-up :). Board book style.

Is corn healthy or not? 5 myths about sweet corn busted
By Matthew Thompson, July 3, 2012 - 2:58pm
Matthew asks: Do you think corn is healthy?
Just need some clarification. My doc told me corn was a grain and not a veggie. You refer to sweet corn as a veggie. Is sweet corn different in that aspect? — Anonymous |

Good point, Anonymous. While the USDA classifies corn as a vegetable, it is in fact a grain. When you eat Sweet Corn on the cob, you're eating a whole grain! — mthompson |

It is disgusting to me that GMO corn and other products are not labeled as such. Seems nobody wants to take up that cause, which tells me that there is so much GMO produce and ingredients in packaged foods that consumers would FREAK if they realized what they have been eating and for how long... Only option is organic until retailers start telling us what we are eatng.,, — Anonymous |

If GMO's were such a wonderful thing, no one would feel the need to hide this information. Sweet corn is one of my favorites, however I stopped buying it a few years ago, suspecting they were all GMO's. Now I see a new type of corn being sold, "Amaize". I did not purchase it since the store did not state it was organic or not. I came home and researched it and found out it was not a GMO. Now I am running back to the store to buy a much awaited treat. Hiding a products origin hurts even those that create a natural product as the consumer is now suspicious of all. — Anonymous |

For some reason, corn and corn products are the only starchy foods I can digest! My glutin intolerance shouldn't preclude rice, and yet rice is no more digestible to me than wheat. What is it about corn that makes my finicky digestive system love it so much? Whatever it is, thank heavens for it! Joyce Back — Anonymous |

You say that 1 corn ear has the same amount of calories as an apple but an apple is much bigger than a corn ear and an ear of corn has less than one quarter of the sugar but again an ear of corn is way less than one quarter of an apple which must mean that an ear of corn has around a quarter of the sugar in an apple packed into one!!! Also would u say popcorn is healthy because that is just made of dried corn!!! — Anonymous |

Subject: yin-yang over a period of hundreds of years Chinese mystics and religious described the cosmos in a variety of terms. whether attempting to define an origination or merely reflecting on their insights, some found value in a bipolar description, focussing on the two components: Yin and Yang. typically, Yin and Yang are ascribed categorical associations of qualities which may be presumed to partake greatly of one pole of this energetic pair. Yin is often described as feminine, dark, cool, low, restful, yielding, and moist. Yang is comparably provided the description of masculine, bright, warm, high, active, forceful, and dry. phenomena are attributed greater quantity of Yin or Yang depending upon their specific qualitative and experiential nature. for example, the Sun is described as predominantly Yang, while the Moon is considered more Yin in nature. mountains are described as Yang, while valleys are Yin. this bipolar relation is sometimes correlated or compared with a system of 5 Elements that some presume to resemble those described by Aristotle (the Chinese have Water, Wood, Earth, Metal, and Fire; while Aristotle's were Air, Earth, Fire and Water).

Herrera, the trade return for Marlon Byrd last year, is probably a 2B, but might be able to play SS. Still, if I were Daniel Murphy, I wouldn't make any long-term plans. Herrera (20 years old) was hitting 340/406/560 in 61 games at AA, after starting the season in High-A. I believe he has to be added to the 40-man roster.
2. Los Angeles El Hombre de Anaheim
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 12:25 AM (#4781343)
Isn't D'Arnaud one of the slowest guys in the major leagues? Why not first base?
3. PreservedFish
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 12:42 AM (#4781346)
Quite a leap for the young man. Fascinating.
4. Russlan thinks deGrom is da bomb
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 01:42 AM (#4781407)Also, re: #2, yes. I think D'Arnaud would be awful in the outfield.
I think this is a little fast, perhaps to inject a little enthusiasm into a team and fan base that doesn't really have a lot to be excited about in September. He has certainly lit up AA since being promoted.
5. 6 - 4 - 3
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 01:47 AM (#4781411)d'Arnaud looks like he'd be an awful option as an outfielder and Duda's at first base for now. Shouldn't we wait until we are sure d'Arnaud can really hit well for a catcher before we start thinking his bat is going to play in the outfield? Sucks about the concussions though. This team has done an amazing job of not developing outfielders. Seriously, who is the best outfielder the Mets have developed in the last decade that actually did something for team? Lagares barely counts as he was an infielder for most of his minor league career?
You know what was fun? Todd Hundley in LF.
6. Jose Bautista Bobblehead Day
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 01:59 AM (#4781420)Seriously, who is the best outfielder the Mets have developed in the last decade that actually did something for team? Fernando Martinez? *ducks* Seriously, who is the best outfielder the Mets have developed in the last decade that actually did something for team? That Carlos Gomez kid worked out okay, albeit as a trade asset.
I said at the time that I really liked that Byrd trade... I think it was actually one of those perfect trades for both teams - the Pirates got a very useful guy that I think was a big help in their final push while Herrera was a nice darkhorse prospect.
9. The Anthony Kennedy of BBTF (Scott)
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 04:07 AM (#4781437)Sometimes those prospects actually do hit their top 10% projections - and I think Herrera has a chance to do that. Still think it was the right move for both teams.
The concussions are a real problem because another couple, or even one, could mean the end of his career. I can see why they'd be interested in him practicing in LF over the offseason.
10. Boxkutter
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 05:41 AM (#4781443)
If concussions are a concern, wouldn't 1B be a better option than LF where he can possibly collide with the CF/3B/SS or the outfield wall?
11. Lassus
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 06:07 AM (#4781444)
BTW, I don't mind bringing Herrera up, as I have never believed in the "early call-up magically turns an MLB player into a janitor", my comment is in regards to the D'Arnaud to the outfield possibility.
13. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Griffin (Vlad)
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 06:29 AM (#4781447)This team has done an amazing job of not developing outfielders. Seriously, who is the best outfielder the Mets have developed in the last decade that actually did something for team? Lagares barely counts as he was an infielder for most of his minor league career? While your point is valid in regards to quantity, I don't think this is entirely fair to the Mets in regards to Lagares. He's a major-league talent CFer developed by the Mets. It doesn't matter that they developed him from the infield, because they did develop him.
Calling Herrera a "dark horse" prospect at the time of the Byrd trade undersells him, I think. Pirates fans certainly liked him more than that at the time.
14. Lassus
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 07:16 AM (#4781454)
It will be sad to me if this ends up being the Pipping of Murphy. He's been one of the high points this year.

Wow. I like this move, but do find it a bit surprising given how good Flores has looked at 2B (at least to my eyes in his limited time there). Curious to see if it's Herrera or Flores who ends up at SS while Murphy's out. I thought that Reynolds would be ahead of Herrera for a call-up, but maybe they're prioritizing the ability to handle 2B?
18. billyshears
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 10:50 AM (#4781610)Plawecki did struggle a bit after his promotion, but he's really turned it on the past few weeks. Overall line for the season's up to .314/.369/.470, and in his minor league career he's at .297/.374/.442.
I think I've been the high man on Herrera for awhile, but I'm still a bit surprised that they jumped him over Reynolds. Just for fun:
19. formerly dp
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 11:00 AM (#4781624)David Wright in AA in 272 PAs at age 21.5: .363/.467/.619 Dilson Herrera in AA in 278 PAs at age 20.3: .340/.406/.560 When I started looking at this comparison, I didn't remember quite how much Wright destroyed AA, but I can't remember any Mets' prospect since Wright tearing up a league quite as much as Herrera has at AA. but I'm still a bit surprised that they jumped him over Reynolds.It may be that they want to shift Flores back to SS for the rest of the year. I'm also surprised that they haven't just told Wright to take September off. Maybe they're waiting until 9/1 to call up Reynolds and start giving Wright some more off days. Isn't D'Arnaud one of the slowest guys in the major leagues? Why not first base? If concussions are a concern, wouldn't 1B be a better option than LF where he can possibly collide with the CF/3B/SS or the outfield wall?The obvious reason why 1B is out is that Duda is the only guy on this team hitting worth a crap, and is not an outfielder. The slick move, therefore, would be to trade Duda. It'd be hard to argue it wouldn't be the epitome of selling high. It might be unpopular, but hey, they traded the flippin' Cy Young winner, so why stop now. I actually think the fans would mostly get it. The real problem is that someone has to catch, and... Plawecki did struggle a bit after his promotion, but he's really turned it on the past few weeks. Overall line for the season's up to .314/.369/.470, and in his minor league career he's at .297/.374/.442.It's Vegas, baby! VEGAS!!! (BTW, I think the organization just re-upped with Vegas as its affiliate for like five more years. Fun.) So, it could work out to be a disaster: a bad catcher playing catcher and a guy who doesn't hit enough to play 1B playing 1B. But I'm sympathetic to the move. Concussions are scary. I don't want to lose the player. I wonder if they'll try Herrera at SS. Could it really be less likely to work than Flores? I'm also surprised that they haven't just told Wright to take September off. Speaking of which, why not stick D'Arnaud at 3B. There's nobody good there.
Flores played 485 games at SS in the minors. Herrera has played 27 games, all this year. As bad a shortstop as Flores is, I'd be worried about the effect on Herrera of making him play out of position at the same time that he has to learn to hit big league pitching. Its not like the Mets are playing for anything in September.
23. billyshears
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 11:23 AM (#4781654)From what I've read, Herrera is more athletic than Flores but is thought not to have a good enough arm to stick at short.
Unless d'Arnaud is a catcher or a good fielding SS, 2b or CF, he's not a valuable major leaguer. Given that he's not a good fielding SS, 2b or CF, he's a catcher. There's no upside in putting him at any other position.
24. formerly dp
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 11:28 AM (#4781662)It's Vegas, baby! VEGAS!!!Grain of salt and all. But d'Arnaud always seemed like the more well-regarded hitter, and Plawecki now looks pretty close to d'Araud's career minor league line of .290/.350/.488. I would be totally OK selling high on Duda, but it would be weird to move both Duda and Murphy this offseason. And I'm not convinced they'd get enough back for either to make it worthwhile. === As bad a shortstop as Flores isHow bad has he been? Haven't had a chance to watch a ton of games lately.
With the new collision rule, isn't the concussion risk substantially diminished? I can't recall a lot of catchers losing time due to foul balls to the helmet.
26. billyshears
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 11:41 AM (#4781677)
To paraphrase the old line about Ralph Kiner, I guess the Mets could manage to score one run on four hits per game without Duda in the lineup. Still, it seems somewhat perverse for a team that can't hit to trade it's best young, cheap hitter.
27. just plain joe
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 12:04 PM (#4781692)With the new collision rule, isn't the concussion risk substantially diminished? I can't recall a lot of catchers losing time due to foul balls to the helmet. Actually it is the repeated foul balls to the head that cause catchers problems, not the (relatively) rare collisions with base runners. The average catcher could play for weeks at a time and not get run over on a play at the plate. On the other hand it would be rare indeed for a professional catcher not to take at least one foul ball per game off his mask. Watch a slow motion replay of a catcher taking a foul off his mask; typically his head snaps back the same as if he had been punched in the jaw. I don't know what the answer is to prevent this but if a player continues to be concussed while catching, continuing to play behind the plate is not going to be good for his long-term health.
Lassus, I'm a huge fan of Lagares and am in no way disparaging him. It's more that I am disappointed in the people developing the outfielders.
29. bobm
Posted: August 29, 2014 at 12:19 PM (#4781716)I think it's be crazy to trade Duda. He's the type a player, cheap and valuable despite his flaws, that the Mets should be trying to get as the get ready to contend.

Posted: August 29, 2014 at 12:30 PM (#4781732)Joe Mauer felt the same way about the switch to a titanium mask -- which claims to be 10 times stronger than steel while weighing just 16 ounces -- until he followed Doumit onto the concussion disabled list Aug. 20. [2013]
#27 - Again, I would think that there would currently be a LOT more catchers out with concussion DLs in that instance, given the new awareness of the consequences; but we're just not seeing it that I can recall this year. Getting hit in the helmet is not a concussion by default.

Posted: August 29, 2014 at 12:47 PM (#4781751)Oakland A's catcher John Jaso was placed on the 7-day concussion disabled list this past week since his concussion symptoms have worsened over the past two weeks. He told the press that he was struck by a hard foul tip that bounced off of his face mask back in early August when the Oakland A's were playing the Tampa Bay Rays. As of today, it is unclear as to how long he will remain on the DL.

Posted: August 29, 2014 at 01:02 PM (#4781771)[Giants backup catcher Hector] Sanchez went on the concussion list July 26, then took a hard foul tip off the mask Aug. 16 while on an injury rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Fresno, sustaining a second concussion. He said he is still experiencing headaches, but hadn't vomited in two days.

Posted: August 29, 2014 at 01:05 PM (#4781777)Maybe this explains it: The Marlins placed slumping catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia on the 7-day concussion DL this morning and called up J.T. Realmuto from Double A Jacksonsville to take his place. Saltalamacchia had a miserable month, hitting just .177 with no home runs in May. Saturday, he went 0 for 3 with a pair of whiffs and was also charged with a throwing error.

Avila appeared to be stunned momentarily as he sat back onto the dirt behind home plate. [Manager Brad] Ausmus and head athletic trainer Kevin Rand headed to the plate where Rand asked Avila some questions.
Wow. I had no idea. Is catching like playing football or boxing, just an invitation to brain problems?

Posted: August 29, 2014 at 01:46 PM (#4781821)When Tommy Joseph went on the disabled list after suffering another head injury and potential concussion on April 25, he was in the midst of a tear. After going 0-for-4 in his first game back on Saturday, he got right back to destroying Eastern League pitching on Sunday. It's Vegas, baby! VEGAS!!! Hitting that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Plawecki did struggle a bit after his promotion, but he's really turned it on the past few weeks. Overall line for the season's up to .314/.369/.470, and in his minor league career he's at .297/.374/.442. most of his year was in the EL, most of his career has been in low offense environments Nimmo, .286/.404/.439 on the year, his main offensive weapon remains the walk... which would be less worrisome if he had just a bit more xbh power, he has reached 10 HR this year, so maybe there's hope. Gavin Cecchini: .245/.329/.376, he's young, he's an SS, showed a little pop, seems to have a good batting eye, but really needs to develop more cuz at this point he wouldn't hit .200 in the show Domonic Smith: .273/.344/.341, well he's really young (19), and umm, he seems to have a good batting eye... but he's a 1B who hit one (1) home run in 500 Sallie League PAs... (give him 10 HRs and he'd match Wright at the same age and level, of course age 19 in the Sallie League was Wright's worst year at any level) Vincente Lupo, I know nothing about him except he's 20 and hitting .278/.415/.504 in the Appy League (just 165 PAs) overall he's at .272/.408/.490 in 717 PAs in the VERY low minors, including when he was an overmatched 17 year old in the Domincan Summer league ( .197/.325/.379) and as a significantly less overmatched 18 year old in the same league (.343 /.500/.608) he's an OF... and Michael Conforto 21 hitting .333/.408/.435 in Brooklyn (NY Penn) The last Mets 1st round 1b pick to pay in Brooklyn hit .256/.326/.326 there at the same age... and of course the Met's farmhand that I've been following for 5 years, their first pick of 2009 (2nd round), local boy (local to me), Steven Matz, who just turned 23, who has had his arm fall off and been re-attached what seems like 5 times already... now after 5 years exclusively as a starter, has accumulated 271 IP, with a 276/80 K/BB and only 8 HR allowed in 271 IP, leading to an ERA of 2.29... 136 IP this year, 121/35 K/BB ERA of 2.19 (evenly split between FSL and EL)
The ball doesn't weigh very much at all. From a simple F=ma perspective it should be fairly easy to produce a concussion-proof catcher's mask.

That's an enormous improvement over last year even accounting for environment: an .086 ISO to a .153 ISO. He also cut way down on strikeouts. Kevin Youklis at 23 in A-AA: .310/.436/.424. Nimmo is 21. There's good reason to be excited about him.
It isnt the weight of the ball, it is the velocity...No matter the mask, if your head snaps back you can get a contra coup concussion as the brain bangs into the skull on the inside. Blows to the face are particularly hard to deal with..It is why quarterbacks get so many concussions as a linebacker comes up from low and hits them in the chin.

Posted: September 02, 2014 at 03:50 PM (#4783943)They're saying Murphy is going to be out a while. Why not shut everyone down for the year -- Murphy, Wright, Mejia. Hell, then next year you can talk about how things looked okay until everyone got hurt.
Joel Sherman on Murphy:
50. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Griffin (Vlad)
Posted: September 02, 2014 at 03:56 PM (#4783950)A team that already struggles on offense and plans to contend next season should not trade 50 percent of its hitters who actually performed in an above-average way in 2014 (Lucas Duda being the other). That is unless you are trading him for other hitters who can help in 2015, and why would a team that needs Murphy essentially give up Murphy-level hitters?Sherman is right that Murph is totally worth $8M as a player, and that the Mets should be able to afford that. But, Murphy is really not well-suited to be a utility player on this particular roster... or, for that matter, to get only 300 AB when he's been the second-best hitter on the team. Sherman goes on to say that injuries and/or ineffectiveness of other players could greatly increase that number, which is true (but is a lot less true if you don't want to play him in LF, which I don't). I still don't love it, at all. I don't know what a good answer is here. why would a team that needs Murphy essentially give up Murphy-level hitters? It would make sense if they need a 2B and have a surplus at a different position that's a greater area of need for the Mets.
Sherman has to still have the scars on his optic nerves from watching Murphy play LF. There're no ABs for him there, no matter how amazing Lagares is in CF. And Murphy as a utility player I think weakens his defense everywhere. I'm wondering how much hinges on this last month-- Herrera at 2B makes me more nervous than Flores does at SS (based on a very small sample, obviously)--but if he and Flores really shine as DP partners, does that change the equation much, or is Herrera still ticketed for AAA? Could den Dekker hit enough in his audition that they consider a larger role for him next year? I sort of feel like we've been here before...

Thanks for mentioning this! I love Sahadi's. It's what I miss most about living in CG. Having it a 15 minute walk away was so yummy.

We dropped by yesterday. There are lots of holiday platters and gift baskets, and some cute chocolate-filled balls that would make good gifts. Also those rock-candy-style coffee stirrers which I never knew where to find.

Pterodactylus was a small pterosaur or flying reptile. It lived in the later Jurassic period, at the same time as many dinosaurs. Pterodactylus is typical of the short-tailed pterosaurs, a sub-order which continued to the end of the Cretaceous. The first specimens were found at Solnhofen in Bavaria, Germany. These carbonate strata formed in warm lagoons also yielded the famous Archaeopteryx. Pterodactylus may have lived on small islands in the lagoon, or on the coast.

Superboy and the Ravers is an American comic book series that ran for 19 issues, from September 1996 to March 1998. The comic book chronicles the adventures of Superboy (Kon-El) and a group of superhumans called the Ravers.
Beginning around the end of the 'losing it' saga, Sparx shows up and tells Superboy of a neverending party that she herself has joined. One night she takes Superboy there by teleporting there. Superboy during this also meets Hero Cruz, and Aura, after an altercation with some of the partygoers where Superboy finds that he doesn't understand their language. Superboy thus intrigued meets Kindred Marx the proprietor of the rave called The Event Horizon who offered Superboy a handshake and after receiving a shock discovered that in the back of his right glove he now has a white rising sun symbol to which Hero Cruz replies that the mark is not on his glove but in his hand, and as long as he wishes to return to the party he can do so by touching the mark, and if he wishes to return home he only has to touch it again during the time that he is in the rave.
During that time Superboy starts to enjoy himself when he is confronted by Kaliber, a juvenile delinquent from the planet Qward, who accuses Superboy of mocking Superman at which time he begins to attack him. When Marx warns them that there is to be no fighting in the Rave he then transports them to the arena where they begin to fight. At this time the Rave's DJ informs Marx that they are being pursued and leaves without Superboy and Kaliber, who discover that their pursuers are a group called Inter.C.E.P.T..
During this time Kaliber and Superboy manage to fight off Inter.C.E.P.T. and thus Kaliber gains a lot of respect for Superboy and idolizes him for the remainder of the series, to the point of defending him from threats that Superboy is obviously not in any danger of being overpowered.
Aura and her group calling themselves the fashion police are confronted by a mysterious zombie-like teenager calling himself Half-Life. Half-Life is a 1950s teenager who was killed by an alien spaceship's wreck. Its technology somehow keeps him alive (at least halfway), with a green glowing ectoplasmic goo which takes up about half of his body, and which he can shoot at villains. He has vowed revenge for the death of his family and girlfriend (whom he later reveals was pregnant). He feels he does not fit in with the Ravers at first. Later, he wins a fancy alien motorcycle in a game of Truth or Dare, as well as becoming more a part of the group.
During an altercation with some Khundians who have repeatedly violated the rules of the Event Horizon, Marx revokes their passes; when one of them says that sending them back would be like signing their death warrants, Marx shows no remorse in taking them, saying, "I am prepared to face the consequences of my actions, prepare to face yours," showing that he will take the pass from anyone that violates the rules of the Event Horizon if they cross him, even if it means that they return to their homes and face death. It is also revealed that the Event Horizon is on the run from the Darkstars.
The Ravers group played vital parts in the limited series Genesis. The teleportation abilities the group were able to utilize were vital for the collected heroes of Earth.[1][2] They also provided muscle during the battle against the forces of Darkseid and the simultaneous trip into the Source Wall, a battle in which Kaliber lost his vision after seeing the source directly.
On a trip to Metropolis, they confront the villain Metallo. After his defeat, his enormous, metallic fists remained behind. The group converts them into housing for the needy.
Tensions arise in the group when Sparx discovers she cannot handle Hero Cruz's homosexuality.
The long-lived sentient canine Rex the Wonder Dog has made several appearances in the book, associated with his new 'owner', Hero Cruz.
Other characters in the comic include Aura, Superboy, Sparx, Kalliber, and Half-Life.
- Superboy would go on to join Young Justice, and eventually become a founding member of the most recent incarnation of the Teen Titans.
- Hero joined up with the Teen Titans's California based branch, Titans West, before it was disbanded. He presumably retired from superheroics after this.
- Sparx was considered for membership in Teen Titans but was declined.
- Aura was chosen by Tim Drake as a candidate for the Teen Titans during a membership drive. Victor Stone promptly struck down the nomination, saying her habit of binge drinking could prove problematic.[3]

Tim Lincecum will be out to stop a three-game losing skid Saturday.
Entering this weekend's series at Busch Stadium, the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals are fighting for their respective playoff lives.
The Giants have lost four of their past six games, they have given up the wild-card lead, and they are watching the San Diego Padres and the National League West title ride off into the sunset.
San Francisco has played 10 games this month against playoff contenders (Atlanta, San Diego and Philadelphia). Until Thursday's 5-2 victory against the Phillies the Giants hadn't scored more than three runs in any of those games. They have a .214 average during the past week. That won't keep you playing in October.
St. Louis has fallen three games behind Cincinnati in the NL Central by losing four consecutive games to division also-rans. The Cards have also fallen to third in the wild-card standings, 2 ½-games behind the Phillies.
Given the brisk pace of this playoff race, St. Louis can no longer afford to dawdle. Are they in or are they out?
The second game of this weekend set in St. Louis features a dream matchup between the two pitchers that finished 1-2 in the NL Cy Young race last season. Tim Lincecum will be pitching in front of Cards' fans, who threw a fit when the results were announced last November.
Lincecum isn't likely to add a third trophy to his case this season. The young southpaw has lost three consecutive starts and allowed 14 earned runs in his previous 14 innings.
However, he has a golden opportunity to end that slump against a St. Louis club he has dominated in the past. Lincecum is 5-0 with a 1.54 ERA against the Cards and he's fanned 37 Birds in 35 innings pitched.
Lincecum stymied St. Louis on April 23 at AT&T Park, yielding one run and six hits in seven innings while whiffing eight en route to a 4-1 victory. The Giants won two of three games in that initial series clash while limiting the Cards to three runs.
Chris Carpenter's recent track record is much more impressive than his San Francisco rival. The big right-hander has turned in seven straight quality starts, allowing two earned runs or less five of those seven outings.
The Cardinals had won seven straight with their co-ace on the bump until last Saturday when they bowed 3-2 to the Chicago Cubs at home. Carpenter has won nine of 12 decisions this year at Busch Stadium with a 2.85 ERA and held opposing hitters to a .223 batting average.
San Francisco has won 23 of its last 31 against NL-Central foes and six of Lincecum's last seven against teams from that division. The Giants are also 9-3 in their ace's last dozen road appearances.
St. Louis began play Friday having lost four straight at home. The Cards have cashed 13 of 16 MLB money lines at home when facing teams on the plus side of the ledger.
The past five series confrontations have ended on the low side.
St. Louis has strayed 'under' at a 15-4-2 clip when playing on Saturday. Conversely, San Francisco has topped the 'total' at a 9-3-1 pace in Lincecum's last 13 road outings.

Now, I dunno the guy personally, but from the impression I get watching his antics on TV, I seriously doubt he's the type to go grocery shopping at a store with exposed ceiling rafters on his own. He's the type who'll send an "undocumented citizen" out to buy his vittles at an upscale hoity-toity hipster go-green tofumart. So...this just strikes me as a blatant photo op...and, considering the crowd of people gathered to watch him have a black woman push his buggy around, its rather poorly staged, at that. Seriously, if you're gonna try to pretend to "be one of the people", try shopping the same way we do. On your own, you douchenozzle.

HD DVD and Blu-ray Ripping Guide - HDCP free HD content
Quick and Easy Step by Step Guide
AnyDVD HD is dead easy to use - as soon as you insert a HD DVD or Blu-ray disc, AnyDVD HD scans it automatically.
There is a small fox shaped icon in the task pane, right click on it to bring up a menu with options. One of the options is "Rip Video HD DVD / Blu-ray to Harddisk..." which is the one to select in this case.
You're greeted by a menu that gives you the option to select destination and source directories and that is all there is too it.
Press the "Copy DVD" button and wait and hour and you're done!
It really is that easy, but remember that you need to have about 25GB of drive space for a single layer disc and up towards 50GB for some Blu-ray movies. AnyDVD HD doesn't have any options for compressing the HD content (it rips it to your hard drive in raw untouched format), so keep an eye on your available free space, if you decide to go a little crazy.
It's not the most space efficient way of copying movies, nor is it blisteringly faster (using Microsoft's Xbox 360 HD DVD USB drive), but hopefully newer drives will be able to rip movies faster as technology improves and they move to faster connections such as IDE and SATA.
There are of course a range of more advanced options in the settings menu, but unless you're ripping a region coded Blu-ray disc, most of these can be left at their default settings.
Once the movie has finished being copied to your hard drive, you're not quite out of the woods yet. To play back the HD content you'll need a HD DVD or Blu-ray software movie player and there still isn't a great selection out yet. The best we have used so far is CyberLink's PowerDVD Ultra (our personal favourite) which supports HD DVD and Blu-ray discs and the full version will set you back $99.95 USD (or roughly $125 AUD). If you know what you are doing, you could also convert the raw HD content into a different format such as x264 which is used for encoding H.264 and MPEG-4 AVC video into a smaller compressed file and that way you could potentially avoid paying for movie playback software. If you wanted to go a step further and have money to burn, buy a HD DVD or Blu-ray burner (along with the media that will cost you upwards of $15 USD per disc) and you've got a backup of your movies without any DRM-like infections.
AnyDVD HD isn't the only software that is able to rip HD DVD's and we figured we'd give DVDFab HD Decrypter a go, but for some reason it refused to detect the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive. If you're the adventurous kind, you could also try out BackupHDDVD, but this has a limited key database and isn't as easy to use as AnyDVD HD.
Of course, the best advantage of AnyDVD HD is its ability to remove AACS encryption on the fly, so if you've got HD DVD or Blu-ray playback software on your PC, but an older graphics card or display without HDCP support, you can still watch your HD DVD or Blu-ray movies which you own fair and square!
Have fun!

Spanish Studies
Students are able to earn a major in Hispanic studies by combining courses in the language with appropriate work in other departments such as business, political science, and art.
Program Highlights
- Students of Spanish have the opportunity to improve their language skills on a semester or year of study abroad or on a May-term study trip to Spain. Many students choose our exchange with the Universidad de Sevilla, where students travel to Spain, live with a host family, and take courses at the university. Others choose the ACM's semester in Costa Rica or one of many other study abroad opportunities.
- Students from our exchange partner in Spain mean that you will get to know Spanish students in your classes, residence hall, or clubs.

Try a fast and feature-filled Twitter client for Linux. Polly is a native Linux app for Twitter that features multiple customizable columns, support for multiple accounts and desktop notifications.
Sure, I've shown you Twitter clients for Linux 5 Linux Twitter Clients You Probably Don't Know About 5 Linux Twitter Clients You Probably Don't Know About Read More before. Some are great, but not all of them survived the Oauthpocolypse. I still love Hotot, the fast iPhone-like Twitter client for Linux Hotot - A Fast, iPhone-Like Twitter Client For Linux Hotot - A Fast, iPhone-Like Twitter Client For Linux Read More , but it can feel a little out of place on a Linux desktop – it doesn't do a lot to blend with your GTK or QT theme. And don't get me started about Gwibber, the social client built into Ubuntu. All it ever seems to do for me is crash and slow down my computer.
If you're looking for a fast, native Linux Twitter Polly is an excellent choice. It's technically in pre-alpha, but it certainly doesn't feel like it. I find Polly to be feature-filled and more stable than many Linux clients I've used. If you haven't found the Linux Twitter client that's right for you, try Polly. It might be what you're looking for.
Using Polly
Start up Polly, add your account and you'll see an interface not so different than what you'd expect:
What sets Polly apart from other Linux Twitter clients, in my opinion, is how customizable it is. People use Linux for different things, so it's important that any good Linux client acknowledge this and give people control over what they do and don't see. Some people only want to see what their friends are saying; others want to keep up on global trends. Some people use a single account, while others have several and follow different lists for different reasons. Polly acknowledges this, and lets you set up a variety of different columns:
Set up as many or as few as you want. You can even see desktop notifications for all or just a few of these tweets:
The more time you spend settings things up, the more you'll find yourself liking Polly. Twitter is about choice: there is a massive flood of information out there, and you only need to see what you want to see. Twitter on the web gives you some ability to look through that, but column-based Twitter clients give you a chance to instantly see only the things you care about.
Install Polly
You can find .deb files for Ubuntu and source code you can compile on other distros over at the Polly Launchpad page. Sorry, I can't help you compile the software.
Pros & Cons
So, is this the Linux Twitter client you've been looking for? Maybe. Here's a simple rundown to help you find out:
- Fast, native interface.
- Sublimely stable.
- Custom columns.
- Multiple accounts.
- Technically pre-alpha.
- Lacking keyboard control.
- Some features in menu not yet implemented.
- No support for Facebook or other social networks.
If the pros matter to you and the cons do not, you're in luck. If this doesn't work for you, stay tuned – the developers have a lot more in store for Polly.
Do you have any more pros and cons to add to the above list? Start a conversation about that below, along with any other great software you know of for using Twitter in Linux.

Just checked the site but it appears that the user is Ubuntu/Gnome friendly only and does not handle other Linux distros (there's one mention of Gentoo but that's handled at arm's length). If you want to install via RPM or via a good old configure/make package, forget it! Remember, folk, as I often say on The Register amongst other places: Linux is NOT Ubuntu.
"What sets Polly apart from other Linux Twitter clients, in my opinion, is how customizable it is."
At this time (0.93.4), there are very few UI customization options. While it has a lot of flexibility in the number of accounts/streams you display, it has very little in the way of UI options - font sizes, image sizes, tabbed vs side-by-side streams, etc. I don't think it's correct to say Polly is highly "customizable" at this time.
I use Turpial.. a good and fast venezuelan client :)

I have fallen down enough to get more comfortable with it, to know how productive it can be, how necessary it is to growth. Still, when I sense the ground beneath me giving way, I have to remind myself that it's OK if I falter. I have to remind myself that it's more than OK!"
