Tiny farms could mean big profits for eastern Idahoans
ST. ANTHONY, Idaho - Money doesn't grow on trees, but the idea may not be so crazy in eastern Idaho.
University of Idaho agriculture extension agents say turning ground on small -- even tiny -- boutique farms could bring a big profit potential.
On a tiny road above a sweet-smelling valley, it takes about a second to pass Woods Gardens behind the wheel of a car.
"We probably plant about 2 acres," said owner Dave Woods.
Woods may just have a tiny 2-acre row to hoe, but don't tell him he's not a farmer.
"We started out just wanting a little garden for ourselves," said Woods.
The Woods farm fits 16,000 strawberry plants in an 80 by 100ft plot with a special hydroponic system. Blackberries, raspberries, tomatoes, and even hard-to-grow blueberries all grow on the tiny farm.
Wood first started making money off his farm when he started taking his produce to the Idaho Falls Farmer's Market; he found out there was a little cash in that. But experts at the University of Idaho say once farmers start digging, there can be a lot more.
"You could make some money off of this," said U of I instructor Lance Ellis.
Ellis said new market demands mean small can be mighty.
He says the concept of boutique farming has taken off in other parts of the state, but the Woods farm is an eastern Idaho case-study.
Greenhouses overflow with plump tomatoes, and strawberries slowly sweeten in the sun.
"It's very high quality fruit," said Ellis. People want that, it's a growing niche market."
Ellis said the market is growing so fast, the university's agriculture department is offering hands-on classes on Management and Profitability of Small Acreages. Instructors take students on field trips to learn about running small farms for profit.
Classes cover a different topic each month and range from Home Milk Cow Dairying to Profitable Home Orcharding. The classes aren't free, but are open to anyone interested in developing their small acreage property.
To register for a class, or for more information, contact the University of Idaho Fremont County extension at (208) 624-3102.

It doesn't take long for an avid--or just wickedly clever--gamer to be chafed by the limitations of videogame software or hardware. If you want to go far beyond the obvious--whether you want to modify your console controller to work on other consoles, create your own text adventure, or modify your Game Boy--there's an awful lot of fun you can have for cheap or free, using the creative exploits of the gaming gurus. Gaming Hacks is the indispensable guide to cool things gamers can do to create, modify, and hack videogame hardware and software.Everything from social exploits and tips to be used in MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) to soldering-iron heavy hardware hacks is covered in this extreme-cool hack guide written by gamers for gamers. Gaming Hacks offers a stunning variety of hacks, exploits, and other creative acts on both modern and archaic console hardware and today's PC hardware--one hundred detailed, ingenious hacks are included.Gaming Hacks also includes detailed software-based looks at MMO (massively multiplayer) titles, FPS (first-person shooter) games, machinima (real-time movies created using game engines), emulation, save-game hacking, and many other miscellaneous subgenres and topics.Gaming Hacks shows hardcore gamers how to configure the best FPS peripherals, hack the Nuon DVD Player/Gaming System, modify their Game Boy, watch movies and listen to music and their Sega Dreamcast, and much, much more.Gaming Hacks shows you how to do things you didn't know could be done. If you want more than your average gamer--you want to explore and experiment, unearth shortcuts, make your games do what you want them to do Gaming Hacks will show you how. You don't need to be gaming guru to pick up Gaming Hacks; you'll be one when you put it down.
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The tool on the cover of Gaming Hacks is a Viking helmet. The image of a Viking soldier with horned helmet, popularized by Hollywood movies and cartoons, is now seen as a myth by the scientific community. Some researchers say Vikings wore no helmets. Others use fragments to depict a helmet with a smooth, curved surface that could deflect blows. Other features included cheek guards that could be worn folded up (perhaps horn-like) and a gogglelike band of steel that protected the nose, eyes, and upper cheekbones without interfering with breathing or visibility. Mary Anne Weeks Mayo was the production editor and copyeditor, and Matt Hutchinson was the proofreader for Gaming Hacks. Phil Dangler, and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Mary Agner, Sanders Kleinfield, and Meghan Lydon provided production assistance. Julie Hawks wrote the index.Hanna Dyer designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is from the Stock Options Toys CD. Clay Fernald produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's Helvetica Neue and ITC Garamond fonts.David Futato designed the interior layout. This book was converted by Andrew Savikas to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Helvetica Neue Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia Free-Hand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. This colophon was written by Mary Anne Weeks Mayo.

If that stuff doesn't work, I use a product called "Eliminator" from Health Technology Professional Products: Animal Sanitation Products Eliminator Bacterial Enzyme Odor Digester - Health Technology Professional Products Inc
It's an enzymatic product that's much stronger the the products I've tried from pet supply stores. I found this company an an Animal Wellness in California years ago, and the product worked so well that I reorder it a gallon at a time. This company makes professional-grade products for animal care facilities--they don't market much to consumers.
|Ugh, I so hope it isn't in the pad!!! Yikes!! I purchased the simple solutions AND Odoban. I was pretty liberal with the Odoban (I really dig the disinfectant), and I'll use the Simple Solutions in the morning.It's a newer home, so I'm scared to un-tack the carpet but we may have to go that rout if this stuff doesn't seem to penetrate it. Wish me luck!!! And thanks all for the input!!!
Most likely it got down through the carpet and into the pad underneath and the pad itself may still be wet. That is why the smell isn't going away. Is the carpet tacked down? If not you may be able to pull it up and get to the pad in order to clean it. If it is tacked down you may just have to saturate the area really well, and then blot it well to soak up the cleaning liquid afterwards, or even direct a fan at the area to dry it out. Keep in mind the spot on the pad may have spread beyond where the carpet was wet.
Personally I like Nature's Miracle for cleaning and for odor removal and I have also had very good results with Pure Ayre for odor removal. Again, you will have to try to get the cleaning stuff down to the pad, and then blot up the liquid really well-- you may need to do this several times.
This stuff is supposed to be really good, I only use it for the cat litterboxes but it seems to work quite well:
Pet Stain and Odor Remover Clean+Green
|Steam cleaning with a truck mount, to get into the pad. They may have to pull the carpet to get the back of the pad as well. That sucks.
|Simple Solution, and be generous with it! Took urine stain and odor out of my sofa and my carpet more than once. I have a bottle in the cupboard at all times.
I tried Simple Solution on some pee areas and didn't like it. It stopped showing up on my blacklight but I could still smell the area. I'm a fan of Odoban! Nothing removes odors like that stuff does IMO. We used it in one of the kennels I worked for a couple years back and we always got compliments on how wonderful our place smelled even when we'd have a good 100+ dogs and 30+ cats boarded. I started using it in my home because Zoey had some urinary problems at the time and nothing was working to get them out of our carpet. It worked like a charm and I used it through Gretchen's puppy-hood too with success. Even though my dogs don't have accidents anymore I still love to spray it over my carpet and furniture for a nice smelling house. I also have a steam cleaner for the tile and laminate areas of the house and spray the floors down with Odoban prior to using my steamer for a nice smell too. Can also be used in carpet shampooers too. Lol!
Here is a pretty good price on bulk Odoban. It's like $28 for a gallon of concentrate + an already diluted 24oz spray bottle to reuse. (Includes shipping price) The 1 gallon bottle will make up to 32 gallons of cleaner so well worth the price IMO since it last sooo long!
I myself like Petastic. It is the original Nature's Miracle recipe; another company bought the Nature's Miracle name, then changed the formula.
Petastic solution comes in a spray and a gallon size refill, and you use it straight. It does work, but takes a while, and you may have to re-apply it to the area several times. I soak the area, let it sit and dry, soak it again, let it dry, then do the sniff test, and repeat if needed.
They also make a laundry detergent which I LOVE. I get peed on regularly at the grooming shop, and the Petastic laundry detergent gets the odor out with one washing.

But I love the smell of Simple Solution a lot more than Odoban!
Now, if you need disinfecting, like in the wash, you can't beat Odoban for that.
But I don't care for the smell as much as SS, so I use the SS for accidents on the floor.
|Mary Beth
|That's a shame. It probably soaked down clear into the lining. Keep reapplying the stain & odor removers. Also fresh or even used fabric softner sheets placed on top may help. An iconic air freshner can help. You can get the kind that plug in. Also there are odor crystals (non toxic volanic crystals) that come in a bag that is hung next to the area- I have used them in my basement where my cat was sick on the carpet and near the litter box - they do work. I got them from Foster & Smith. Also, drops of your favorite perfume on your pillow might help - or lavendar oil which is also soothing. If you can keep any windows open and have fans to circulate the air for sometime during the day or night will also help.

It may be worth having a professional carpet cleaner come out, if the SS doesn't work.
Walmart carries SS.

Hey everyone,
I just moved to Syracuse from Wyoming and want to do some waterfowling. I have a dog, but no boat and I have no idea where to look other than the gazeteer. I feel like I am going to be re-inventing the wheel some here and I am looking for suggestions of where to look. Any advice or insight would be appreciated.

No. You have to purchase a handgun in your state of residence, unless you have it shipped to a federally licensed dealer within your state, in which case you are back to square one.
As far as I know, you have to be 21 to purchase a handgun from an FFL dealer, though laws on private sales may vary from state to state. But once again, you cannot legally purchase a handgun out of state without going through an FFL dealer.

(b) to suggest that the vast majority of climate scientists (since the vast majority agrees with anthropogenic climate change) is creating false data is absurd, it's just not possible.
So, if the people in charge who are supposed to be looking out for our well-being want the safe outcome (prepare for what the climate experts tell us is coming), then they need options that achieve that outcome (transition from fossil to sustainable fuels) without giving the masses any sense of lost income, options, or pleasure. No easy task, but isn't that why we pay them the big bucks?
i am not pleased to have them waste my tax dollars on solar panel plants, and dangerous little green cars.
problem is the Republicans give all the big bucks to the bankers and oil men
is 150 years a good time frame to determine anything on a planet this old?
it is human nature to wish for "facts" to fit preconceived notions. it would also explain why they are using 150 year of data and largely ignoring millions of years of info available from archeology, anthropology, geology .....
the earth has been both warmer and colder than it is now, and most of that history, absent man.
historically, warmer periods were also periods of prosperity and growth of civilization.
now that they are talking about the coming cold age, i think we'd all be wise to light off our slash piles and breath heavy!
"well-being" is kind of subjective. what they think is for my good, may not be what i think is for my good.
with that in mind, i am not pleased to have them waste my tax dollars on solar panel plants, and dangerous little green cars.
obama hates fossil fuels. he'll do what he can to destroy them no matter how the consumer is hurt. do you think this would help the consumer?
I think that your view here is somewhat naive. Science, as we know it today, is more of a religion than what it was in the 1800s. ... Today it's more like a religion where they have an entire belief set and all of their observations are tainted by that set of beliefs.
One only needs to look at evolution and how it is treated in or schools and universities. It is only a theory and has just about as much contrary evidence as it does proof that supports it, yet it is taught as if it is truth. Anyone who doubts is belittled and called names. It's pretty much the same with the climate crowd, calling those who don't agree climate change skeptics and belittling them.
There is only plentiful temperature data since WWII, when aircraft started dominating the military theater. Prior to that it is very lean and probably not very trustworthy, definitely not worthy of scientific study and changing our entire way of life.

Employees that use smart devices — PCs or mobile devices — for work have expanded their use of technology more than most people realize. How many devices do you think a typical information worker uses for work? If you only ask the IT staff, the answer will be that most use just a PC, some use a smartphone, and a few use a tablet. But our latest Forrsights workforce employee survey asked more than 9,900 information workers in 17 countries about all of the devices they use for work, including personal devices they use for work purposes. It turns out that they use an average of about 2.3 devices.
About 74% of the information workers in our survey used two or more devices for work — and 52% used three or more! This means that the typical information worker has to figure out how to manage their information from more than one device. So they'll be increasingly interested in work systems and personal cloud services that enable easy multidevice access, such as Dropbox, Box, SugarSync, Google Docs/Apps, Windows Live, and Apple iCloud.
When you dig into the data, the mix of devices info workers use for work is different than what IT provides. About 25% are mobile devices, not PCs, and 33% use operating systems other than Microsoft.

Relic Jewelry
You know that moment when you're at a cocktail party and you realize you have absolutely nothing interesting to contribute to the conversation? Enter this jewelry. Tell everyone it's a Relic. Then get them guessing on where you were for the archeological dig that uncovered it. Eventually you'll have to tell them that Relic is just the brand name. Or not. That's on you.

hello everyone! I just bought all of the crap from Wal-Mart to start building a blaster. The stock was a piece of wood that I had cut at school in the 3D drill.
hello everyone! I just bought all of the crap from Wal-Mart to start building a blaster. The stock was a piece of wood that I had cut at school in the 3D drill.
Here's the PVC pipe getting cut and prepped up for the revolver to be fitted in. The PVC was cut at 10".
You know...every can of Bondo (a car body filler) I have ever bought has been dentedGCNgamer128 said:
BTW what is a 3D drill?
I used an X-Acto to remove the orange piece from the toy gun, then I used basic AMAZING GOOP glue to stick this sucker in the PVC pipe.
A 3D drill is a big big drill that takes objects in 3D on the computer and machines them into whatever object it can make. It can only go 2D though, since it can not pivot.drokkul said:
I just stick the piece of wood in, and when I had the object in CAD I just had it cut the piece of wood using a drill bit. I sanded the edges so it would be rounded.
Here are some more photos of how the toy gun fit into the PVC barrel.
...If you used a CAD Drawing to cut something in wood...I *think* you may mean CNC Router...not 3D drill.
Very cool, can't wait to see more progress pics.
Hi, I have done the same thing...........and I think it´s a good way to make a cheap and good looking blaster....
That's awesome!!!!!!! I'm going out right now to get the parts.
Wow, that looks good so far. Keep us up to date.
if someone needs more info in how I built this, tell me.............this thing cost it´s no more than 10dls
Meh, I don't know what the thing is called. We call it the "Big Ass Murder Machine," because we stick rulers in there and other random crap just to destroy. But when our superiors are around we call it the 3D drill .Prymer13 said:
That's a nice blaster! But yours is the ROTJ style, it's not too different, the scope is mounted differently and the barrel is different. The ROTJ has a cooler design, but I don't want to go too far outside of my costume style.chewiepal said:
I hope my tutorial helps! Are you going to make the ROTJ or ESB style? This blaster progress should help you either way you choose.mandaloresa said:
Unfortunately the toy gun I bought came with a partner, I don't know what to do with the other. I have enough parts to make a second blaster, I might build one and sell the blaster cheap in the Cargo Hold. I'm not in this hobby to make money So you might see a "Buy it now" $30 blaster in the cargo hold in time.
This is where I think to myself... What did I get myself in to?
Mmmmnn...Bondo fumes and dust. I have probably accidentally inhaled my fair share of both during this project.GCNgamer128 said:
Fortunatleyslsa its hast ton azfecteed em in saniys wayzes...
Can't wait to see how the breach area turns out!
With some creative trimming of an x-acto, here it is. I do need to re-add the bottom part which I cut off, the sight on the back, the depression in the part I cut out, and the little knob thing infront of the trigger. There are some parts that I need to fill in, some parts were too thin for the thickness I was aiming at. I also plan to fill in the barrel a little with the bondo. I don't want people do see a toy gun when they look down the barrel!
Here's a little update on my gun, I fixed up some Bondo and primed it in red, the a coat in aluminum, and a coat in black
...looks familiar ... lol!
Hah, yes! Did you get the middle piece that connects the gun to the stock yet? You also need the blocks that keep the scope standing, I will probably make those myself.bobamatt1 said:
looks cool, i made mine in a similiar way.
I actually haven't done much lately. I went on vacation for a week and since I've been back, I've been trying to get a job.
I ran out of moneys. When I start getting some cash-flo, I will continue.
What are you going to use for that piece between the stock and handle. I am going to try to avoid drilling into my handle because thats where the battery compartment is.
I thought it would be cool to keep the light-up feature.
Keep posting, you are giving me ideas!
Whoa!! That's pretty awesome! I might take apart my gun now to get wires going through for LEDs. I may remove the Bondo in the handle to put a battery pack in. You could build snaps into the bondo, so then you could have an opening for the battery pack. The other side of the gun's handle which will be the horseshoe piece will cover it up. You can snap it on, snap it off, it may be more portable that way; four snaps should hold it on VERY well. We use snaps on the Thermal Detonators here in Vegas becuase they keep that thing attached, there it's not going anywhere. That is fantastic. What did you use for the light? Your blaster is superb.bobamatt1 said:
Well Phycho Andy just drew this item in CAD. I will e-mail the file to my Commanding Officer who has this huge laser cutting "thing" that will make it for me with a chunk of wood. I bought some Sintra, so I should be able to make the items that hold up the scope. Woo!
This was laser cut out of wood.

If you're interested in my recent rankings for the 2014 MLB Draft, here's the Top 50. Plus, here's a look back at all the content from the 2013 MLB Draft.
This is the second part of the two-part reveal of my MLB prospect list, with a twist relative to other industry lists. Like many others, I rank current minor leaguers (with rookie eligibility still intact; sorry Tyler Skaggs) based on their upside, chance to reach it and distance to the big leagues. The twist is that this is a true MLB prospect ranking in that everyone not currently in the big leagues is listed, including domestic amateurs and professionals from the Japanese and Cuban leagues. Active MLBers with rookie eligibility that would make the list if demoted are ranked in part one, with players ranked 26-50 and a number of bonus names.
Some of these international players are in their mid-to-late 20's, but it's important to list all the top potential impact big leaguers rather than just the ones of a certain experience still in the minors. The likelihood of being posted/defecting for foreign pros is not factored in their ranking (but noted in the comments). They are ranked purely on prospect value, like the minor leaguers. Once the season ends, I'll start ranking many more prospects, first by organization, working up to a Top 111, integrating the BUBBA System to put a dollar value on every prospect.
Top MLB Prospects, Ranked 1-25
1. Byron Buxton, CF, Twins (Hi-A - Fort Myers)
6'2/190, R/R, Age: 19.69, Acquired: 2012 1-2, HS - Georgia
I'll admit I underrated him a bit out of high school and thought he'd have some trouble hitting out of the gate but no one, including the Twins, saw this debut season coming; he's got potential for five above average tools, 80 speed and a plus-plus arm.
2. Oscar Taveras, RF, Cardinals (AAA - Memphis - DL)
6'2/200, L/L, Age: 21.19, Acquired: IFA, Dominican Republic
It's funny how scouts will start mentioning little quibbles they've always had with a player once they stop hitting but in Taveras' case, he's been out all year with an ankle injury; plus-plus bat is big league ready as is above average power.
3. Carlos Correa, SS, Astros (Lo-A - Quad Cities)
6'4/205, R/R, Age: 18.93, Acquired: 2012 1-1, HS - Puerto Rico
Another guy from the 2012 draft that I thought had a more advanced bat than Buxton but would have some trouble in his debut has had zero trouble torching the Midwest League; may move to 3B due to size but plus raw power and bat speed play anywhere.
4. Carlos Rodon, LHP, North Carolina State (College - Junior)
6'0/235, L/L, Age: 20.71
The top prospect for the 2014 Draft flashes two 70 pitches (fastball/slider) on the 20-80 scouting scale with at least an average changeup, command and a track record to match; ranking him this high with no pro experience gives you a good idea of how much scouts like him.
5. Francisco Lindor, SS, Indians (AA - Akron)
5'11/175, B/R, Age: 19.79, Acquired: 2011 1-8, HS - Florida
Lindor checks all the boxes in what clubs are looking for in a shortstop of the future as a very young, athletic, above average defender with a standout bat and excellent plate discipline.
6. Masahiro Tanaka, RHP, Japan (NPB - Rakuten)
6'2/205, R/R, Age: 24.82
Cuban 1B Jose Abreu has received some hype as the international prize of the offseason but scouts are far more enthusiastic about Tanaka, who has consistently commanded his plus stuff and one international director said I couldn't put him too high on this list.
7. Albert Almora, CF, Cubs (Lo-A - Kane County)
6'2/180, R/R, Age: 19.36, Acquired: 2012 1-6, HS - Florida
My #1 player in the 2012 draft is technically behind Buxton and Correa, my 2nd & 3rd prospects from that draft, but Almora is getting over a broken hamate bone and scouts are saying he looks like a future batting champ with an elite glove.
8. Addison Russell, SS, A's (Hi-A - Stockton)
6'0/195, R/R, Age: 19.59, Acquired: 2012 1-11, HS - Florida
Russell went third in a loaded group of elite prospects from Florida in the 2012 draft, behind Mike Zunino and Almora; being the 8th prospect in the world a year after going 11th in the draft is a pretty good consolation prize.
9. Archie Bradley, RHP, Diamondbacks (AA - Mobile)
6'4/225, R/R, Age: 21.05, Acquired: 2011 1-7, HS - Oklahoma
Much like Lindor checks the boxes for shortstop, Bradley checks them all for frontline starter; plus-plus fastball and curveball with great athleticism and improving changeup, command and feel.
10. Jeff Hoffman, RHP, East Carolina (College - Junior)
6'5/190, R/R, Age: 20.64
The breakout star of the Cape this summer has made the 1-1 conversation for the 2014 draft an interesting one and while he doesn't have the track record of domination of Rodon, Hoffman isn't done improving, flashing Adam Wainwright or even Justin Verlander upside at times.
11. Taijuan Walker, RHP, Mariners (AAA - Tacoma)
6'4/210, R/R, Age: 21.04, Acquired: 2010 1S-43, HS - California
Walker is a big athlete that's consistently been young for his level and shows plus stuff but still needs to make small mental and mechanical adjustments before he can reach his #2 starter potential.
12. Mark Appel, RHP, Astros (Lo-A - Quad Cities)
6'5/220, R/R, Age: 22.12, Acquired: 2013 1-1, Stanford U.
Appel was the third best college arm for me in the 2012 draft (behind Gausman and Zimmer) but he took a big step forward with his approach and command in 2013 while the other two have shown some warts of their own.
13. Kris Bryant, RF, Cubs (Hi-A - Daytona)
6'5/215, R/R, Age: 21.65, Acquired: 2013 1-2, U. San Diego
Bryant is a good example of why you don't dismiss the lanky swing-and-miss power bat out of high school as he grew into his swing, now has plus-plus game power and should hit enough to get to it in games.
14. Kyle Zimmer, RHP, Royals (AA - Northwest Arkansas)
6'3/215, R/R, Age: 21.96, Acquired: 2012 1-5, U. San Francisco
Zimmer flashes plus stuff just like Appel and has a higher upside as he's more athletic but hasn't quite put it all together, though these types of gifted arms can take suddenly figure it out and take off.
15. George Springer, CF, Astros (AAA - Oklahoma City)
6'3/200, R/R, Age: 23.94, Acquired: 2011 1-11, U. Connecticut
Springer is another example of the bigger, toolsy athlete with contact issues in games that grew out of it; he'll likely never hit for a great average but has made adjustments as sometimes bigger athletes take a little longer to do that.
16. Corey Seager, 3B, Dodgers (Hi-A - Rancho Cucamonga)
6'4/215, L/R, Age: 19.33, Acquired: 2012 1-18, HS - North Carolina
Seager was one of my favorite projection bets in the 2012 draft and surprised scouts with how quickly he was able to dismantle the Midwest League; there's a chance for four above average tools and average speed.
17. Greg Polanco, CF, Pirates (AAA - Indianapolis)
6'4/175, L/L, Age: 21.95, Acquired: IFA, Dominican Republic
You may be sensing a trend of big athletic hitters with power and just enough hit tool to make it all work; Polanco flashes five above average tools and a surprising amount of feel for age/size.
18. Miguel Sano, 3B, Twins (AA - New Britain)
6'3/230, R/R, Age: 20.29, Acquired: IFA, Dominican Republic
Sano has legit 80 power and could hit 40 homers in the big leagues but will likely end up playing first base at some point and while some hitters can maintain flexibility and hit for enough average at that size, there are very few Miguel Cabrera's (and Sano K's more than you'd like), so scouts are cautiously optimistic about Sano's MLB future.
19. Javier Baez, 3B, Cubs (AA - Tennessee)
6'0/195, R/R, Age: 20.74, Acquired: 2011 1-9, HS - Florida
True 80 bat speed reminiscent of Gary Sheffield, easy plus power and a future in the infield are all things to love about Baez but he can get out of control at the plate in both approach and mechanics, though he's made strides with his consistency this year.
20. Dylan Bundy, RHP, Orioles (AA - Bowie - DL)
6'1/195, B/R, Age: 20.78, Acquired: 2011 1-4, HS - Oklahoma
The best pitching prospect in baseball proved why you always have to discount pitching prospect projections as he recently underwent Tommy John surgery; there's a 75% or better chance of a full recovery and Bundy has true #1 starter upside.
21. Jorge Soler, RF, Cubs (Hi-A - Daytona - DL)
6'4/215, R/R, Age: 21.51, Acquired: IFA, Cuba
He's missed most of the season with a stress fracture in his shin but flashes 30 homer power with enough feel to hit to be an everyday player with a plus arm; the Cubs future lineup looks terrifying
22. Kevin Gausman, RHP, Orioles (AAA - Norfolk)
6'5/190, R/R, Age: 22.64, Acquired: 2012 1-4, LSU
I'm not concerned about his tough MLB stint (6.21 ERA in 33.1 IP) earlier this year as he wasn't quite ready and flyball-type pitchers can look bad in small samples if hitters square a few up; he's still got #2/3 starter upside and may be ready to contribute early in 2014.
23. Noah Syndergaard, RHP, Mets (AA - Binghamton)
6'6/240, L/R, Age: 20.99, Acquired: 2012 1S-38, HS - Texas
The massive righty worked 94-96 mph in his inning at the Futures Game at Citi Field and has flashed an above average changeup and curveball at times with his feel continuing to improve.
24. Jameson Taillon, RHP, Pirates (AAA - Indianapolis)
6'6/235, R/R, Age: 21.78, Acquired: 2010 1-2, HS - Texas
I've always been a little bearish relative to the industry on Taillon; the size and plus-plus fastball/curve combo is obvious but the changeup, feel and consistency vary enough that one scout I talked to now prefers Tyler Glasnow.
25. Raul Mondesi Jr, SS, Royals (Lo-A - Lexington)
6'1/170, B/R, Age: 18.08, Acquired: IFA, Dominican Republic
There's some of the same elements here as with Lindor (size, defense, age, switch hitter with limited power potential) but Mondesi has had some trouble at the plate in 2013, though at an obscenely young 17 for most of the year.

Pedro and Sea Ray, please take this commentary private. I'd like to leave this thread for discussion about the original topic.
Hysterical, sarcastic, and scientifically illiterate comments are hardly appropriate at time of major disaster. The enormous earthquake in Japan has likely taken many, many lives and destroyed a nuclear power plant facility consisting of multiple reactors. The extremely capable Japanese are working rapidly to address their severe problems. Some "meltdown" of the reactor cores has likely occurred, but the crucial containment vessels are performing admirably.
Now, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but that sounds like ol' fashioned editorializin'.
But then again, I haven't crossed over into the land where reporting is propaganda and propaganda is information. Yep, mermaids and unicorns.

Just a note, the "points system" on the Peanut Gallery board is cosmetic and really just a joke, the Admin of the board, Ochre, has a negative 65000 or so.
Go Gators!
Are you trying to say that the Redszone member who wrote it, Guacarock, is not qualified to speak on the issue of journalism reporting? Are you saying his being honored for an Associated Press Managing Editor's Award on science reporting focusing on nuclear-related topics, mostly bombs, but also energy generation, is not enough of a qualification to say what he said:
( http://www.redszone.com/forums/showt...t=88023&page=4 )?
I don't understand your intention of posting what you posted, but I think that compared to Guararock, most of us are amateurs here (or anywhere) when it comes to putting thoughts on paper when compared to this person, someone whom I've never met or seen before. But, I know a very respected award when I see one, and that one he received is one that's very difficult to obtain and shouldn't be disrespected, especially by those of us who aren't in the journalism business.
As far as your other quote from the gentleman's post who offered the links to federal sites, praise to the japanese people, empathy over the disaster that has taken place, better reporting avenues for what was going on along with better explanations into the science and terms that were being heard at the time, along with a couple of words in response to what some poster at "oregonlive" had said (that's why I gave the source, so you, as a responsible reader, can use whenever you're curious about the "context" of something you see, and his "Hysterical, sarcastic, and scientifically illiterate comments are hardly appropriate at time of major disaster" comment was directed towards their posts, not anyone at redszone), along with countless links where you and I can help the Japanese people,....I really have no idea what you're attempting to say. If you find all of those links to be propaganda, then I just don't understand what world you're living in. To give to the Red Cross and the United States Agency for International Development ( http://www.usaid.gov/ ), two of the links on the site, is generally considered to be humanitarian gestures.
So, yes....that is considered good information to give to others.

All of this raises a question to me though. Why must all of this information be shared on a Reds message board that prohibits political discussions? It is obvious that nuclear power is insanely controversial, and that at the very least some of the authors that people linked to were pushing political agendas. There are literally thousands of places on the internet where this can be discussed, without burdening Mods who are mostly here to talk about Reds baseball which is, I think, supposed to be a distraction from real life.
Wow, Kingspoint, dissemble much? Did I mention the Red Cross? Did I mention Guacarock? No.
I don't care about any of that other stuff. You posted commentary and then claimed your were just "informing" people.

That's the very same question I have and one that any people pro-politics on RedsZone have yet to adequately address.Originally Posted by top6
In my opinion, discussing the dangers of this power plant is no more political than discussing the dangers of saccharine or drinking tap water.
In this case KP posted precious little opinion of his own and sought to inform what the dangers are including his own since he lives on the west coast.
Obviously the folks who want to talk Reds baseball and get away from real life will tend to hang out in forums other than the non baseball chatter.
Why go to a Reds board to discuss Wonder Woman or American Idol?
With the workload of the MODs in mind, my suggestion would be to accept that a non sports chatter section will be everything under the sun and make it less restrictive rather than more so. If you're going to further limit subject matter then you'll only give MODs more to look out for and you'll end up with more locked threads. Put another way, most sites' non sports sections are not a burden on the MODs because they don't stretchout the definition of politics to extremes. They let a lot of that stuff go. The more limits you impose, the more work you make for the MODs

2005 Bordeaux is truly one of the most magnificent vintages that I have ever seen! Every day I am impressed on how the wines are evolving, this vintage has produced a plethora of amazing wines that are seductive in their youth; yet represent the structure and depth of legendary age-able Bordeaux.
The Wine Spectator's March 31st issue is dedicated to this amazing vintage that they rated a whopping 99 Points and referred to as "… A Vintage that Ranks Among the Greatest Since the Legendary 1961." Plus, James Suckling the chief critic for Wine Spectator scored Eight Wines a Perfect 100 Points. With that being said, the overall quality and value of the wines are amazing. Never before has Bordeaux experienced a vintage where the quality of the wines was so widely spread throughout the region. 2005 is a perfect example of how nature supplied the winemakers with a perfect canvas to craft their work and luckily for us the winemaking techniques of Bordeaux are what they are today. Jean-Guillaume Prats of Chateau Cos d'Estournel told James Suckling of the Wine Spectator: "You can't compare what we are doing today to 1989 or 1982. [Today's] Attention to detail is incomparable."
As is the case in all highly acclaimed vintages, the wines are selling out before they arrive. However, Zachys currently has over 50 Chateaux In-Stock Now with over 180 Chateaux rated 90+ Points available and 75 selections under $30!
2005 Bordeaux is not just a collectors vintage, it's a vintage for ALL!

3M Earnings Limited In 2013, MS Downgrade Says
In its downgrade of 3M shares today, Morgan Stanley says the stock's notable outperformance has left little upside for investors.
Shares of 3M (MMM), among the 10 top names in the latest Barron's Most-Respected Companies ranking, are underperforming the broader market today, up 30 cents, or 0.27%, to $109.50. The Dow is up 0.78% this afternoon, and the Standard & Poor's 500, 0.88%.
Morgan Stanley analysts Nigel Coe, Jiayan Zhou and Michael W. Sang write in the downgrade that 3M has caught up to its industrial peers due to its signficant emerging market exposure, where growth prospects are greater, and its defensive characteristics. Morgan Stanley estimates 44% of 3M revenue comes from areas outside the U.S. and Europe, compared to 30% for peers.
But with the stock up about 18% so far this year, it has ouperformed these peers. The stock is now trading at about 16 times earnings for the next 12 months, a 14% premium to average over the past 12 months, and it has typically traded in line with its peer group.
"As such, we see little scope for further multiple expansion, particularly given our expectation that there is limited scope for upside to fiscal year 2013 earnings. To this point, we highlight more difficult core growth comps in the second half of 2013 vs. the first half (while most EE/MI companies are expected to see easier comps ... With below average upside (2%) to our unchanged $112 price target, we downgrade MMM to Equal-weight.)"
Morgan Stanley offers positive, base case and negative scenarios for each stock it covers, and in the bull case, it posits that the stock could reach $125 if there is accelaration of the post-mid-cycle slowdown, and a recovery in electronic markets. In the bear case, the stock could fall to $81, assuming a downturn "one-third as bad as 2009 yields a 2% organic decline" in revenue, compounded by a weak euro. The base case, at $112, assumes 1% organic growth, in line with 3% achieved in 2012, and he euro-dollar valuea t $1.30.

Ok, that thing hat what looked like 185 width tyres, and it was sitting low, but it was friggin'awesome The 4 cylinder air-cooled boxer engine out of the Citroen GS fits with some mods. The car is so pure genious it hurts...
I'd say go for it. In germany there are stainless steel chassis available for less than 1000. I don't know how traffic is in the US, but as Mr. Air and Water said, if you know the highway is empty I wouldn't mind. I have never had problems with my Fiat; the opposite is the case, people overtaking me (or being overtaken) can't help but smile Ok, in case of a crash chances to survive will be bad, but it's so much fun. And usually with such a car you drive very defensive and attentive. At least that's what happened to me.

Fiat 128, the stroppy cow.
Eh... the 1700 pound Rabbit? Not so much. But I think the comment is a reasonable one for all the small early cars.
And I was piggybacking on the following comment on page one:
Nice overview of the 2CV:
The 2cv is probably just as relevant today as it was when Pierre Boulanger laid out the criteria for the 2cv in 1936. It must be a simple design, capable of driving thirty MPH across plowed fields with a cargo of eggs. It must be able to carry five passengers and of course be comfortable.
The original concept was for an umbrella on wheels and to keep the expense down, must be built with a minimum of materials. For cheap operation it meant a small engine and of course that would mean it had to be very lightweight.

Located in Scottsdale, AZ I LOVE my 2cv but my life has changed and I am willing to part with it.

Just don't take anyone with you when there are steep road. Depending on the inclination, you'll end up pushing the car or crawling up the hill while your passengers go on foot (this happened with a 435cc 2CV 4).
They certainly have a certain appeal to them. Even in stripped down form
The silver one in Hand Cannon's post would be great and has all the early details I like. For the OP, beware that many 2CVs in the US are fraudulently registered as something they are not. THere are many Charlestons, (made in 90 or 91) that show up with 60s and 70s as their year. DOT problem and maybe a long term headache for a buyer. Just because it isn't a Skyline doesn't mean that you don't have to worry about it.
And if they won't go up a hill loaded, turn around and back up!
Love it. Do it.
Even when they're going 50mph and holding up traffic, everyone's happy to see them and instantly calms down and smiles when they see what the hold up is

Early in the thread someone question why this car isn't desirable. To me it looks like a craptastic kit car and doesn't make up for it with performance. Sure, maybe this car has an important place in history, but that's in the past. That doesn't make me want one in the present, not unless I open a museum.
I love how compact the suspension is!

Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes « Les Calcinaires » 2007 – Domaine Gauby – Alc. 12% - (€13,78), made from Muscat, Macabeu, Chardonnay and Vermentino.
Gauby is arguably the star of Roussillon and has won plaudits, particularly in France, for transforming his wines from this warm region into a more elegant and less alcoholic style. His whites are amongst the most refined and refreshing on the Mediterranean rim. This is his entry level white cuvée.
C: Quite pale with a noticeable prickle visible in the glass for some time after pouring.
N: Refreshing, aromatic and quite complex with notes of citrus fruit, honey and minerals.
P: Medium bodied with bright fruit, similar aromas to the nose, lively acidity, good Mediterranean "gras" and backbone ( a grapefruit tang on the finish) which stood up well to swordfish steak with a rich pesto sauce. On a sultry evening, the wine's temperature rose rapidly above the 11-12°C aiming point but it was good enough to reveal extra complexity whilst retaining freshness up to about 15°; very good indeed; 16/20+ QPR.
Here are succinct notes from a March sip and spit tastings of two of Gauby's more ambitious white cuvées.
VDPCC Vieilles Vignes 2006 (W) (€27), made from Macabeu and Grenache blanc & gris, was in a similar style but rounder, deeper and fuller; 16/20++.
VDPCC "Coume Gineste" 2006 (W) (€68!!!), made from 100 year Grenache blanc & gris vines, shows complex aromas of exotic fruit, and dense, rich substance with a lot of grip; 16.5/20++ but worth the price???

"Appropriations bills in the Senate and the House are farther apart than they have ever been," he said. "It's very hard to see how they are going to agree to anything very smoothly."

The situation in Zimbabwe has gone beyond "critical" into a human disaster stage in which unemployment has now reached 90% and inflation is at a 250,000,000% rate while million s have fled the country in search of any form of work. Movement for Democratic Change,(MDC) leader Morgan Tsvangirai has decided to accept the position of prime minister of a unity government even though common sense suggests Robert Mugabe will not surrender any power to his opponent. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) has urged Tsvangirai to assume the position and promised it would help ensure a genuine sharing of power. Unfortunately, the SADC is not able to guarantee that will ever happen.
Tsvangirai was faced with a lose-lose position. If he refused to enter the "coalition government," it meant disaster, if he enters the coalition government it may only result in the disaster being blamed on him as well as on Mugabe. The SADC promised to ensure a 12 member supervisory board would make certain there would be sharing of power, but that is a hope rather than an assurance.


text: I have had a cel for about 1k miles on and off but i would clear it after a while. But recently i kept the cel on for 1.5k and didn't clear it. It just turned off one day and I pulled the code and it was still there. Did my light burn out or is it suppose to do that? BTW it is the code for cat efficiency below normal.

The trigger is to stought to be accurate? I will not ask the question about your experiance or form or grip as I assume you have already checked into the possibilty that you could do something to improve this also.
It will ease up with use.....oh by the way I have 2 SR9's so i know it will. Have you cleaned it yet from when you got it? The trigger is a bit gritty and pretty heavy new but will relax quite a bit after a couple hundred rounds. I have over 2000 through the silver one and about 1500 through the green and black one. It takes patients and an understanding of the weapon.
I did purchase a ghost trigger bar for one of them it helps a lot!!!!!!!!!
ULTIMATE for RUGER SR9/40 and SR9/40c
If you can not control the trigger on your own this will help. Make sure you are using proper form. There are instructions how to put the new trigger bar in on You tube YouTube - Ghost Rocket Install Ruger SR9 Part 1
the ghost trigger bar is a great 20 buck investment. When all else fails it really works wonders.
I will get one for the other gun someday soon.

Domenica Marchetti creates elegant meals from simple ingredients in her cookbook The Glorious Soups and Stews of Italy, including these recipes: Chicken in Piquant Tomato Sauce, Clam Stew with Prosecco and Sausages and Lentils in the Style of Umbria.
by Domenica Marchetti
Italian cooks are masters of the art of preparing simmering soups and stews that showcase seasonal ingredients at their very best. Domenica Marchetti reveals their secrets with The Glorious Soups and Stews of Italy, a collection of more than 60 exceptional, authentic recipes that celebrate each season in the Italian tradition.
On a rainy day in fall, nothing takes the chill off like a bowl of Crema di Ceci con Maltagliati, a hearty, rustic soup of puréed chickpeas and pasta drizzled with fresh olive oil. In winter, La Genovese di Signora Venditti, a rich ragu of slow-cooked beef and sweet onions, will surely lift the spirits. Vellutata di Asparagi con Orzo Perlato, a delicately flavored, creamy soup of tender asparagus, sweet fennel, and pearled barley makes a perfect spring welcome. And when summer comes, Zuppa di Cozze e Vongole Piccante, a spicy stew of mussels, clams, and ripe garden tomatoes is perfect for a casual dinner party.
With practical information on equipment, seasonal and pantry ingredients, and a delicious mix of classics, regional specialties, treasured family recipes, and contemporary creations, The Glorious Soups and Stews of Italy is a book to be savored throughout the year.
Domenica Marchetti is an accomplished food writer whose articles have appeared in the Washington Post, Cooking Light, and Fine Cooking. She lives in Alexandria, Virginia.
William Meppem is a New York-based photographer whose work has appeared in Food & Wine, Martha Stewart Living, and Vogue Entertaining.

By Chris Harris
Robin van Persie thinks he has ten more years left at the top and believes the next one could be his best yet.
The Dutch forward will be 28 by the time the 2011/12 campaign gets underway and, on the evidence of last season, he is approaching his peak. Van Persie has been hampered by injuries in the past but, since New Year's Day, he has rattled in 18 goals - equalling the record for the second half of an English campaign.
When the new season starts at Newcastle on August 13, Van Persie will look to extend a record he has to himself after scoring in nine consecutive Premier League away games.
As ever the Dutchman's fitness will be an influential factor in Arsenal's success but he thinks he can continue his upward curve.
"I was 27 last year and everyone would think that you have an amazing start to the season and then maybe grow from there," Van Persie told Arsenal.com. "But I had an injury and needed time to get back to fitness.
"The second part of last year, I scored 18 Premier League goals so it's strange. You can't really tell beforehand whether you are going to have your best year because you don't really know what is going to happen. If it goes your way, I do believe that this could be a really good year for me.
"The way I see it is that I am halfway through my career now. I have been playing for ten years and I'd like to play for at least ten more years. Of course I want to win things but winning things doesn't come from out of the blue. I'm just a part of the whole story, it depends on many things."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Well, I just finished Guilty Crown and it was decent but pretty short. Here's what I prefer in my Anime's but I'm willing to look at others if they sound like I would be interested:
*Dubbed. I know most people like Subbed but I hate reading and watching them at the same time, regardless if the Voice Actors suck or not.
*Action/Romance It doesn't have to include Romance but Action is a must.
I'm not a big fan of Mecha but It's fine if it's not the main focus.
* Swords and magic are my favorite weapon types but it's not a MUST. I just prefer them over guns and pew pew.
Animes I've watched so far include:
Guilty Crown
kaze no stigma
Dot Hack
There's probably more but I forgot them. I've already downloaded Princess Mononoke so that's on my "To Watch" list. I heard it's fairly good. I usually stay more interested in Anime's when there's a connection with the main character and some girl. Don't ask me why, I've just always enjoyed a good story and this usually adds to it.
So, any suggestions on some that I have missed? I'm sure there's plenty.

Hey guys so I just got a Cobra 480 (400w) power inverter. Now I got this jewel b/c while reading through A Subie Newbie Tuning Guide (Nasioc), one of the first things it suggested was a power inverter. Now come this summer the wife and I will be moving a few hours away for grad school, but plan to frequently come home and I have been trying to get that car as road warrior ready as possible. Anyway, i had been thinking for sometime that an inverter wouldn't be a bad investment.
So thats the reasoning (Traveling as well as soon to be data-logging/tuning). And here is the question, would you guys advise mounting and running a direct power to this or just whipping it out as needed and letting it sit on the floor? I placed it in the car in a spot i thought would be real swell, I would run the wires right through the back of the console to the terminals, and it just seems like it would be a real clean install. Im just wondering if there are any aspects of this I'm not seeing. I looked around on here and Nasioc and while i read about tons of guys with inverters, i didn't see many with them 'mounted' and the guys that did mount theirs, had really fancy ways of just having a plug showing.
Sooo what do yall think, Mount it, or not?
Here is what im thinking:
The angle of that picture is a bit deceiving. There is at least a good 3-4 in from the bottom of that to the carpet.

another thread got me thinking. Post up some of the bikes you lusted after back in the day. I started mtb biking in 1990 at the age of 14 so lived through the entire anodized crazy design bike era. And I loved every minute of it.
White onza porcs, (these tires were the shiznit), an atac fork and a turbo saddle!
this bike is sic. I seriously lusted after it.
A breezer. Built by one of the guys who invented mtb, not Gary Fisher
Wow. Kevlar disc and everything. Rebadged Tioga fork. Those front tires sucked though!
Klein with oversized head tube. Nothing new under the sun. I remember these tubesets were so thin, you could pinch them with your fingers and had to be careful not to dent them.
ONZA Clipless pedals. My first clipless were onza. Rubber bushings instead of springs for retention. And they worked. I loved them. Then again, I loved most stuff onza made.
Don't know much about this one, but the fork is totally wrong. The kooka cranks are about 8 years before that fork!
Another cool yeti. I loved the "computer bent stays" (from their advertising!) This thing was the shizznit, but tough to get.
Mountain Goat. Jeff Lindsay I think. Man this one is old, I am pretty sure that is an RS1. Simple elegance
There are tons more, I will just leave it at that for now. This has got me all nostalgic. Anyone remember, DeKerf, Kestrel, Fat Chance, Cherry, Steelman, Ibis, Land Shark, etc, etc???

A press release from Ancestry.co.uk …..
Very good news if you have Dorset ancestry, seems as if they have got an agreement with Dorset Archives. It appears that Ancestry is working with the Record Offices & Findmypast with the Family History Societies. We live in interesting times !!
16th-century Dorset was a fascinating place. It was at the heart of England?s religious disputes, with seven abbeys dissolved by Henry VIII and Catholics fleeing to France off its coast.
It was a naval stronghold, supplying eight of the ships that destroyed the Spanish Armada in 1588.
It was also a hive for pirates and smugglers, to the extent that special commissioners were appointed to patrol the seas.
Families living in these troubled times faced difficult decisions every day. From simple choices like whether conditions at sea were conducive to fishing; to life-changing judgements such as what religion to follow, there were risks at every turn.
You can see how your ancestors coped with such testing circumstances with new parish and probate records at Ancestry.co.uk.
Work your way through the generations to follow the twists and turns in your family?s past. Parish records for Dorset will be released going all the way back to the Tudor period, but get started with these earlier collections right now on Ancestry.co.uk.
Dorset Parish Records 1913 – 2001 includes over one million records of baptisms, marriages, burials and confirmations all over the county.
Once you pinpoint the parish where your forebears lived, you can quickly build a timeline of the key events in their lives.
You can then delve deeper with Dorset Wills & Probate 1565 – 1858. The wills themselves show who benefitted from each estate ? providing vital clues about family relationships.
If you're lucky enough to find an inventory, that will provide a complete list of your relative's personal possessions ? from expensive jewellery to simple pots and pans.
As you build your family tree, call in on key moments in history, from D-Day landings, through rural riots, to bloody civil war battles.
And see how these crucial events impacted your ancestors? lives.

Discussion in 'Other Hoops Talk' started by LA Dre, Nov 28, 2012.
I blame McGary[Laimbeer2.0] Too many put backs for Loui
Even as a State alum, was devastated to see the Wolverines lose. Watched the game at the Crisler Center and that place was electric. It was fun. Was really disappointed by the reserved nature the students I was around exhibited after the game. I saw not one coach on fire or TV on the ground. Tisk Tisk Wolverines.
hey state woulda added more mayhem
You mean if State had won that title game vs North Carolina at Ford Field a few years back there would have been riots in downtown Detroit? In other news...the Big 10 has had it bad in NCAA titles games lately. After going 3-0 in the 80's with two wins by the Hoosiers and one by Michigan, the Big 10 has gone 1-7 since then with only the Spartan win in 2000 to cheer about at big 10 headquarters. Michigan contributed to three of the losses whether the NCAA recognizes them or not. Indiana, Ohio State, Illinois and Michigan State also found themselves on the low side of the score during this time frame.
no one likes Goliath, cept his family
They don't like him either. He eats all the chicken legs at dinner time.
to this day I won't eat chicken wings thighs, legs, breast, back I'll do.
Burke going to the NBA. "A likely lottery pick according to ESPN.com draft analyst Chad Ford, Burke returned to Michigan with the goals of taking the Wolverines deep into the NCAA tournament and improving his draft stock." Would be nice if one of their goals was furthering their education. UM is a pretty good school last I checked.
For 99% of the kids, the goal is an education. Burke is in that other 1%.
Good point, BL. Unfortunately, 99% of that 1% are college basketball players who can get hurt early in their careers and have nothing on which to fall back. I wish kids who don't really want an education would just go to the D-League and allow that scholarship money to be given to needy kids from tough backgrounds who really want a quality education. After UConn's Kemba Walker left school to go to the NBA, it came out that he had never read a book until college and that he only read two while in college. These "student"-athletes don't belong on college campuses. They are taking up classroom space.
For every Kemba Walker, there is another kid who is going to class and is making the most of getting a free, quality education. How do you distinguish between the two?
Any kid that can get into college and can play basketball deserves the NCAA show case. Should they get some NBA money they can always go back to school and pay for their education.
How many of them actually do?
Find out who is going to class and kick out the ones who are NOT going to class or doing the work assigned in class, regardless of whether they can help you win basketball games. I'm not putting Burke in this category. I know nothing of his ability as a student. But if his ONLY goals for coming back his sophomore year were to improve his NBA stock and help his team go deep into the tournament, then I think that is sad. He had access to a free education at one of the best universities in the country. I simply HOPE education was one of his goals. I think we know pretty well that many "one and done" college basketball players don't belong in college. I think many "two and done" shouldn't be there either. Again, go play in the D-League. It's not the showcase that the NCAA is, but it's not as if nobody from the parent team watches those games. They do.
Perhaps you are reading too much into that statement about his goals. Maybe he was talking about athletic goals. Who knows? Anyway, the days when student-athletes could skip class, have someone else do their homework and take their tests for them are in the past. There are too many eyes watching nowadays. The risks outweigh the rewards for high profile teams to cheat.
The only thing I'd add is the kid there for one year only takes a joke of class load the first semester then blows off the 2nd semester. I wish that the NBA would have a D-league draft per say for kids that don't want to go to college. They can work out the rules I don't care what they are, but if the kid choices to go to college they have to play 2-3 years before they can go to the Pro's. Only thing I would ask is make the D-league pay little enough that kids that don't know there for sure Stars (the James and Kobes of the world) have to make a serious decision on which route they would take.
The NCAA final had 23.4 million people watch it. If you were good, why would you want to go play in front of 2000 people with the Idaho Stampede or the Springfield Armor?
Going to Michigan for two years, you would have thought that maybe he (or the designated athletic tutor) would have written something for that said he was back there to help Michigan win the championship and made a comment like "Michigan is a great education institution, so I hope to return one day and get my degree" But although some student athletes come back and get it, they never say it and not sure how many come back to get a real degree or honorary degree.
If I were him and interested in my education, I'd still turn pro.
Zoo I was speaking theoreticly, none do. Dre, Iremember one guy went back and finished. That RB Smith for Vikes, he left $25M on the table.
Separate names with a comma.

The MIT Mystery Hunt is a puzzlehunt competition that takes place on the MIT campus every year during the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend. The hunt challenges each participating team to solve a large number of puzzles which lead to an object (called a "coin") hidden somewhere on campus. The winning team gets to write the subsequent year's hunt.
Mystery Hunt was launched in 1981 and is widely regarded as one of the oldest and most complex puzzlehunts in the world. It attracts more than 2,000 people every year and has inspired similar competitions at universities, companies and cities around the world.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger's side face Everton in the Premier League on Wednesday, so to find out more we asked tactical expert Michael Cox.
There's been a Groundhog Day feeling with Everton's seasons over the past few years - they always start slowly, before gradually gathering momentum and challenging for Europa League places by the end of the campaign.
In 2012/13, it's been the reverse situation - Everton started with four wins from their first six games, but have won just one of the subsequent seven.
Everton base their play around good interplay on the flanks. The left-sided duo of Steven Pienaar and Leighton Baines are among the best partnerships in the Premier League – Pienaar drifts inside and allows Baines forward on the overlap, as you'd expect, but their combinations become more exciting when Marouane Fellaini drifts towards that side.
Baines often chips the ball towards Fellaini, who then holds onto the ball before laying it off to Pienaar, charging towards goal. Arsenal's right flank must perform well without the ball, or Everton will create a steady stream of chances – they've had more shots than any other Premier League side this season.
In the centre of the pitch, Everton focus on short, neat distribution from side to side – Leon Osman and Thomas Hitzlsperger are intelligent players who spread the play nicely, and Arsenal must be wary of Everton's quick switches of play.
Moyes likes to engineer two-against-one situations on the flanks, and with both Fellaini and Nikica Jelavic obvious targets, Arsenal need to prevent crosses. Jelavic darts to the near post to shoot without controlling the ball, with Fellaini arriving in central positions.
At the back, the best way to expose Everton is in the channels. Baines and Seamus Coleman both advance high up the pitch and can leave the centre backs vulnerable when drawn into wide positions. Olivier Giroud's pace isn't his speciality, but clever movement out wide, in combination with purposeful midfield runs, could be the key to an Arsenal victory.
Everton always offer a tricky tactical challenge, but they're on a poor run of form, and injuries have stretched their squad, a particular problem when playing three league games in eight days – so this might be a good time to face Moyes' side.

I am shufling through the images of the Ammo belts there are three versions of the same belt.
We Have
1: Postproduction
2. ESB (or same Postproduction)
5. Either ESB or ROTJ (Version 2)
Numbers 1. and 2. I believe was used for the ESB version as well as the Postroduction with 2 grommets and overlapped with the right end on top (could be that the belt is upside down). The first image looks like black Velcro was used for closure.
Numbers 3. and 4. I believe are the ROTJ versions with 6 grommets and overlapped with the left end on top. They seem to be the same belt, however the weathering shown is not 100% identical. But this could be the difference of two different size waists placing the left end of the belt farther up or down the belt.
Number 5. I believe to be another ROTJ version with no visible grommets, but punched holes in their place. It could just be "user error" that someone attached it incorrectly, and we are seeing the right end as opposed to the typical left end of the belt on the ROTJ version. Otherwise it is a another version of the belt entirely. Possibly in its original "Found" state?
The Belt is 2.5" to 3" wide. The Stiching on the leather makes me believe that it is a found item.
