Great Size
This is a substantially sized item. I haven't decided how to use it, however, I'm glad that I won't have to struggle with it as I do at times with other tiny closures!

Large trigger clasp
I love this large trigger clasp, with the nice detailing. It adds just the right finish to a necklace or bracelet with larger chain links and then becomes part of the design element.

I wasn't sure what to think, but I watched, wondering how it would unfold.
The scene I'm thinking about occurred six years ago, when I was sitting outside a Starbucks in the town of Roanoke Rapids, over in the eastern portion North Carolina. Pulling into the parking lot alongside me was a guy on a Harley — a gruff looking man, with long bushy beard, wide shoulders and big slabby arms. He wore a plain black helmet, open-faced, with aviator-style sunglasses.
I know Harleys have become the motorcycle of choice for many of the well-to-do in today's society, but there was a time when they were synonymous with bad men who were to be avoided at all costs, and this guy had the appearance of being a guy you did not want to cross paths with. His demeanor made it look as if he was the real deal, a biker who spent as much time on the road as anywhere, rather than some attorney or doctor playing over the weekend.
On the other side of my car a woman who looked to be in her 40s was pulling her mini-van to a stop. The van came complete with a little sticker on the back window proclaiming the driver's kids to be honor students, a magnet signifying one of the driver's kids was involved with a gymnastics team, and another showing one the driver's kids played Little League baseball.
There was a second window decal on the back — a U.S. Marine insignia.
A young man with crew-cut hair and a disciplined air about him opened the passenger door and climbed from the van. At the same time the motorcycle driver was dismounting his bike. He placed his helmet on the sidebars, stepped upon the sidewalk with his large booted feet then zeroed in on the young man, who was about to step on the sidewalk.
"Hey," the motorcycle guy said. His voice was rough, gravelly, and there didn't sound like there was much friendliness in his tone. "You serve in the Marines?"
The young man stopped, straightened to his full height, looked straight into the face of the larger biker, and replied "Yes sir, I do."
The biker put out his hand, ready to shake hands with the young Marine. "Thank you for your service. I'm buying your coffee today."
The young man made some protestations about the biker not needing to do so, but this was one battle the Marine ultimately lost.
I think about that scene from time to time, especially when there's talk of honoring veterans or those who are still in the military. I don't know who those two gentlemen were, don't have a clue where they are today. What I do know is that this biker demonstrated a simple, yet heartfelt way to show gratitude and respect to those who serve and have served.
There are plenty of events and services to honor veterans — one went down yesterday in downtown Mount Airy — and those are good and proper ways to honor the nation's veterans.
But small everyday acts — buying coffee, shaking hands and offering a personal thanks — are probably more powerful than any parade or speech. I hope we all find a way to do that today, and other days as well.
John Peters is the editor of The Mount Airy News. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 719-1931.

text: phorum - Tests - Re: TOSCA Tests New Topic | Go to Top | Go to Topic | Search Newer Topic | Older Topic TOSCA Author: Anon Date: 27-07-10 12:42 Hi Our twice-accelerated child is moving to a new school and they want to give him the TOSCA to see his ability level. I googled it and found a little info on it; a search on the ministry website brings up stuff about the correspondence school. Anyone know of a link to detailed info on this test? Our son is not a good test-taker and we're concerned he may be denied access to the correct year level if he doesn't do "well enough." Sigh. I'd have thought that being twice-accelerated (and coping well with this year group) would provide a pretty good indication that he's an able child. Reply To This Message Re: TOSCA Author: Liz Waterfall Date: 29-07-10 15:00 Hello Anon No school in New Zealand should still be using the TOSCA because it is an out-dated, culture-bound, language-heavy assessment which was discontinued in the early 1990's. There are far better assessments now available that all schools should have access to: the new Progressive Achievement tests, asTTLe Reading Comprehension and Mathematics, STAR Reading Comprehension, the Reasoning test of the University of Canterbury, etc. etc. A range of these assessments should be used, not just one test. And further information should be collated from you and any other stakeholders of your child. Your school is gate-keeping your child; don't have a bar of it. Liz Reply To This Message Re: TOSCA Author: Minnie Date: 29-07-10 17:39 Well said Liz! I can't believe that any schools have a copy of TOSCA still let alone use it! This test has been totally discredited. I remember an amazingly gifted boy in my class who 'bombed' on this test. When I sat down with him and asked him to tell me why he had chosen the answers he had (it's multi-choice), he could justify every single answer, even though they were 'wrong' in the eyes of those who made the test. Reply To This Message Re: TOSCA Author: Gutted mum Date: 19-10-10 18:28 Hi there, My daughter just did a TOSCA test to test for a GATE class and didn't get in even though she has been assessed by an Ed. Psychologist with results in the top 1%. I was absolutely gutted for her, but now I have read this I feel a little better for her, though sad that she has not made the grade the school had determined. Do not know quite what to do now with er, she says she is OK with not being in the GATE class, but I am concerned that she will just drift. Reply To This Message Re: TOSCA Author: Anon Date: 20-10-10 12:02 I would be concerned about the school's attitude towards, and knowledge of, giftedness if they denied your child a place in a GATE program on the basis of that test when you have an ed psyc report. If your school has a GATE coordinator you need to meet with that person and discuss how they'll meet your daughter's needs. Reply To This Message Re: TOSCA Author: RuthC Date: 21-10-10 20:13 Hello Anon Liz is correct and no school should be using this test to assign giftedness.The MOE guildlines suggest more than one type of assessment should be used. I would have thought that you Ed Psych report would have been sufficient for your child to gain entry into a GaTE programme and provided far more support ( and evidence) of giftedness. Can you approach the school and have a discussion around the issue or perhaps go back to you psychologist and ask her if she can support you in this matter. Good luck. Reply To This Message Re: TOSCA Author: Sue Date: 22-10-10 09:44 Unfortunately, many schools do not recognise ed psych reports for purposes of entry to GATE programmes. In its infinite wisdom, our MOE allows each school to define giftedness for itself and in its own community, so if a school defines giftedness as high academic achievement (and many do) then a gifted child who is not also a high achiever is unlikely to be given access to GATE programmes within that school even if there is a psychologist's report stating the child tested in the gifted range. Reply To This Message Re: TOSCA Author: Liz Waterfall Date: 29-10-10 10:05 If a school uses, as part of its GATE policy and procedures, a model of GATE that is research-based, for example, the Gagne model, etc., it is self-evident that the school should base its identification process on a student's high academic achievement as well as the motivation to apply themselves. Giftedness, without academic effort and performance, cannot lead to high achievement in the current college environment. It may, of course, lead to great things after school! There are many examples of people in society who were probably gifted but, for one reason or another, didn't do well in school, e.g., Andre Agassi, Richard Branson, etc. etc. Therefore, if an ed. psych report finds that a student is gifted intellectually, this does not necessarily mean that that student is going to do well in the school environment, if the student does not apply him/herself. However, having an ed. psych. report which finds a student is gifted can serve as a useful baseline for potential but, I stress again, if a student does not put in the hard yards, it is very seldom that they will achieve well in the current school environment. This is the controversial reality! Reply To This Message Re: TOSCA Author: Sue Date: 30-10-10 13:52 I agree with you on the whole, Liz. Ability by itself is not enough for a good number of gifted children, mostly those at the lower ends of the gifted spectrum. Effort, persistence, and a willingness to engage are all also necessary. Unfortunately, a good number of gifted children 'disengage' at school early on and by the time they reach high school, it is requires an almost superhuman effort combined with a great deal of flexibility on the part of teachers to re-engage them. I often hear secondary teachers say that they won't accelerate gifted students because they aren't working well enough - but my experience as a secondary teacher and a GATE specialist supports very much that if we accelerate the kids they do work because they love to learn and when they finally are learning something new, they will engage. (I acknowledge I am generalising here, but this had held true for many more of my students over the years than those who have not taken up the challenge.) If acceleration is out of the question, then work which provides more depth and complexity needs to be provided. The NCEA structure has been cited to me as a reason for not being able to do this, but I find this very difficult to believe. Where there is a will there is a way. I think too we have to face the reality that for highly gifted children, little effort is needed to achieve highly at high school so they don't put much in to it. My three all achieve at excellence level but do almost no study at home and the only time I see anything approaching effort is when a big portfolio-type assignment is due for internal assessment. My son, who attends school sporadically because of an ongoing illness, still manages to achieve at Excellence level and is bored witless in the classes he does attend. We reflected the other day that his becoming sick in Yr 9 has actually worked for him in some ways, in that he only goes to about 1 in every 4 classes in any subject, so he manages to avoid all the repetition that occurs in most classes! He puts tremendous effort in to the things which interest him - unfortunately, these are all outside school! At any rate, I think I have gone slightly off point! If we accept that a primary purpose of secondary school is to help children achieve as highly as they can in school subjects, be they academic or vocational, then identification measures must take into account that purpose. My concern is that in some schools it is only the traditional academic areas (eg maths, science, English) which are used as markers of giftedness. Gifted children who excel in areas such as creative thinking, problem-solving, technology are not necessarily picked up by achievement tests in the academic areas, but they are no less gifted. Each of these areas can be catered for within traditional subject areas with some flexible thinking on the part of the teacher, but often are not. I think of an English teacher doing a Shakespeare unit who had her technologist-boy create a model of the Globe theatre which she then used as a teaching aid - he learned what she needed him to learn about the play and also learned how plays were staged in Shakespeare's time, and being able to use his hands-on skills kept him engaged and this saw him putting effort into a subject he previously thought deadly! I guess my plea is that whatever measures are used to identify gifted children at secondary level, they are multi-dimensional and not solely reliant on achievement testing in traditional subjects.

Whare Kea Lodge & Chalet
A peaceful retreat and an adventurer's paradise
Standing on the shore of Lake Wanaka in New Zealand's Central Otago region, this luxury lodge appears to float on the water, with the snowy peaks of the Southern Alps forming the breathtaking backdrop.
This elegantly designed Lodge set amid stands of trees on picturesque farmland is at once a private haven and an ideal base for sophisticated travellers wanting to enjoy the wealth of leisure activities on offer in the Lake Wanaka area.
Fine cuisine prepared by the lodge's award-winning executive chef James Stapley rounds out the experience.
Whare Kea also offers the unique luxury of an alpine chalet high in the peaks of the Southern Alps, reached via a 20-minute helicopter flight.
Whare Kea- pronounced "Faree Kea" translates to house of the kea in Maori. The Kea is the world's only alpine parrot which lives all year round above the snow line in the surrounding mountains.
Whare Kea opened in 1996 and became a member of the internationally recognised Relais & Châteaux family in 2003. Relais & Chateaux is an exclusive collection of 500 of the finest hotels, lodges and gourmet restaurants in 60 countries.
In 2004 Whare Kea Chalet won the prestigious Relais & Châteaux Environment Design award for excellence.
In 2012 The Whare Kea Book- WANAKA Earth to Heaven at Whare Kea won Best Wine and Food Matching Cookbook in New Zealand. It then went on to becoming a 4th place getter in the "Best Cookbook of the Year" category at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards in Paris.
In 2013 Whare Kea Lodge & Chalet owner Louise Myer accepted the R&C Woman of the Year Award on behalf of the Whare Kea team.

Libraries seeing increased activity thanks to eBooks, eReaders other technology (with video)
Library patrons are becoming quite comfortable cozying up with their eReaders.
Mentor Public Library averaged 1,600 eBook downloads per month in 2012, an increase of 50 percent over the 2011 figure.
"Our patrons have already checked out over 880 eBook titles in the first 11 days of January, a record-breaking number," said Lynn Hawkins, executive director of the Mentor Public Library. "Increased access to eReaders has provided greater demand for our eBook collection. The day after Christmas, Dec. 26, our eBook downloads spiked to 116 downloads. A typical number would have been 40. We attribute this to all of the eReaders under the Christmas tree!".
She added that the accessibility of the OverDrive service helps in reaching out to non-traditional library users.
OverDrive is a digital distributor of eBooks, audiobooks, and other digital content.
"We need to meet them where they are," she said. "Increasingly, that is on their phones. Fifty percent of our eBook downloads are to mobile devices. We added Cardstar and Boopsie free library apps to make the download process easier."
Information from the Pew Research Center recently found that 58 percent of those under age 30 who don't currently borrow eBooks from libraries say they would be very or somewhat likely to borrow an eReading device preloaded with a book they want to read.
Based on those findings Mentor Public Library is adding to its eReader collection as well as its eBook collection, Hawkins said.
Zinnio, which offers digital downloads of popular magazines, is set to be launched in a few weeks. Hoopla, for streaming video downloads, should be available in May. Continued...
Numbers reported by the Willoughby-Eastlake Public Library System show a 78 percent increase in eMedia circulation from 2011 to 2012.
"It's exploded," said Beth Hatch, Willoughby-Eastlake Public Library Virtual Services Manager. "I remember when the first eReaders came out, they were cumbersome and slow. Now they're faster, cheaper and more available to people."
Hatch said providing more reading opportunities to some is another benefit, along with the ease of carrying a smaller device instead of a typically larger traditional book.
"We're able to reach more people that don't come into the actual (library) building," she said. "We have a very large homebound population."
Before the technology boom, a position such as virtual services manager wouldn't even have existed. Nowadays Hatch's job has her on the fast track with helping staff and patrons keep up to speed in their use of websites, digital media, e-books, mobile apps and online reference.
"The increase in circulation in our system shows that libraries are still incredibly relevant and needed in our community," said Lori Sebulski, communications and development manager for Willoughby-Eastlake Public Library. "Libraries are changing because of the demands from our patrons."
Readers who frequent the Geauga County Public Library System more than doubled the number of digital content downloads with 46,220 in 2012 compared to 22,072 the previous year.
Deborah O. Connor, director of the Geauga County Public Library System, said she's thrilled to see circulation numbers escalate.
"Geauga County citizens have always loved to read," she said. "It's typical for us to have circulation numbers around 2 million, but we're noticing an exciting trend in our patrons confidence in eReaders. As our patrons continue using this technology we will continue responding to their needs by adding more titles in all genres."

North Carolina State has been impressive in dispatching Virginia Tech and Virginia in the first two days of the ACC tournament. The Wolfpack will have to raise their game a few more notches against top-seeded Miami (Fla.) in the semifinals at Greensboro, N.C., on Saturday. North Carolina State won by an average of 18 points the first two games, getting contributions from inside and outside. The Hurricanes fought off a challenge from Boston College with a late run for a 69-58 victory in the quarterfinals.Lorenzo Brown of the Wolfpack, who did not play in the 79-78 loss to Miami on Feb. 2 because of injury, will take on Miami's Shane Larkin in a battle of two of the best point guards in the league and the nation. The other key matchup is inside between the top rebounders North Carolina State's Richard Howell and Reggie Johnson of Miami.TV: 1 p.m. ET, ESPN, ACC NetworkABOUT NORTH CAROLINA STATE (24-9): One concern after the 75-56 in victory over Virginia on Friday was the health of Howell. The senior forward played through a thigh injury in the second half and still finished with 12 rebounds. The Wolfpack will need him to be 100 percent and join C.J. Leslie to win the battle on the boards. North Carolina State was third in the ACC in rebounding margin, one spot behind Miami, in league games. Leslie has averaged 16 points and nine rebounds in the tournament. Brown has recorded 18 assists and three turnovers in the first two games and Scott Wood has drained 10 from 3-point range.ABOUT MIAMI (25-6): The 10th-ranked Hurricanes expect a lot from Larkin and ACC Defensive Player of the Year Durand Scott also provides leadership, but Kenny Kadji has quietly put together an impressive run. The 6-11 senior has averaged 18.6 points over the last five games and registered double-doubles in the last four. Kadji will have to come up big along with Johnson and starting center Julian Gamble inside to make room for outside shooters Larkin and Trey McKinney Jones, who combined for 32 points in the quarterfinals. Larkin, a sophomore, has averaged 16 points in his first three ACC tournament games.TIP-INS1. Miami has reached the tournament semifinals for the second time since joining the ACC before the 2004-05 season.2. North Carolina State leads the ACC with 35 double-doubles - 17 by Howell.3. The victory over Boston College improved Miami to 7-3 after trailing at halftime. PREDICTION: Miami 72, North Carolina State 70

The crack weather observers employed by WSU Discovery noticed an odd phenomenon this morning: a biting wind blowing from the east outside our Pullman field station, while forecasters say our first snow of the year could come out of the west.
It did not make sense that weather would move into the wind. Seeking clarification, we first went to the National Weather Service's forecast discussion, a consistent source of wonky weather detail. No luck.
So we tapped Gerrit Hoogenboom, the relatively new director of Washington State University's Agricultural Weather Network, AgWeatherNet. He passed our query to Nic Loyd, AgWeatherNet meteorologist. Here's his 'splanation, with a bonus comment on today's forecast:
Yes, there is a storm system and a trough of low pressure approaching from the west today. However, winds are out of the east and southeast in many places such as Pullman this morning. Often in Washington during the late fall and winter, as low pressure approaches the coast from the west, the winds have an easterly component since wind at the surface often blows toward lower surface pressure. Also, in eastern Washington during the late fall and winter, the surface land is cooler than the air near the warmer offshore water, especially in the morning, and so cold, heavy air moves toward the warmer, lighter, rising air to the west. Behind the cold front, the winds often switch to westerly or southwesterly.
Another way to look at it is that during November when the atmosphere is often stable with a weaker sun, winds behave differently at different heights, and surface winds do not always mix with winds higher in the atmosphere, especially at night. Therefore, winds aloft will be out of the southwest today, but winds were out of the southeast and east this morning in the lowest levels of the atmosphere only.
By the way, it does look as if the weather pattern will be cooler during the day through at least the weekend, but little if any snow is expected in the eastern Washington lowlands. There is not a lot of moisture with tonight's weather system, however, the mountains should receive a few inches of snow.

More than 800 Workers Ready to Respond to Power Outages, JCP&L Says
Power utility company ready to deploy workers where they are needed.
Jersey Central Power & Light continues to prepare for potential power outages due to the winter storm.
More than 800 workers are ready to "tackle line repair work when it is safe to do so," said Ron Morano, a JCP&L spokesman.
Workers have been stationed in Dover and Newton and will be sent to areas if and when they are needed, Morano said.
Hazard responders and forestry crews stand by ready to provide assistance during emergencies and remove downed trees.
"We've taken many proactive steps and will be prepared to respond should we be needed," Morano said. "The storm is forecast to be bad in North Jersey as opposed to the western part of the state."
Power outages can be found on the company's website and the company's new smartphone application. The app also offers "click-to-call" for customer service and links to the company's social media sites and the company's website.
To report a power outage by phone, call 1-888-544-4877.

When the tornado sirens sounded last Wednesday afternoon, I calmly looked at one of my favorite weather websites and saw that the alert was just for the far southeastern tip of the county, far away from LaGrange proper.
After assuring some colleagues there was no need to start clearing out a hidey hole under our desks, I went back to work.
That's a far cry from what my reaction would have been growing up, or even just 10 years ago. Growing up in Illinois wasn't the famous "Tornado Alley" but it was close enough, and I always had a fear of severe weather, even into adulthood. It got so bad one time that (and I have no idea how they came up with this idea) Mom and Dad drew a tornado on a piece of paper and had me throw it into the fire one day, hoping my fear would disappear with the ashes.
It didn't.
So I was just surprised as anyone when I wound up moving to Hurricane Alley (North Carolina) at the age of 23. I waited out my first hurricane dispatched to the local hospital – the safest building in town – for what turned out to only be a minor storm. Then 1999 happened. It seemed like there was a storm every week. Most notably, Floyd blew through and flooded half the county where I lived.
Somewhere between category 3 and 4 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, I was now a weather expert.
So what happened? Certainly, we haven't stopped having weather. I've thought about that a lot since Wednesday, when some of my co-workers got nervous and I was oddly calm. Certainly the technology has greatly improved, since I was but a child on the prairie so many years ago. All we had back then was three channels on the television and a barometer on the wall. Now there's The Weather Channel and sophisticated radar that can pinpoint the storms street by street. There's also being old enough to and living in one spot long enough get familiar with weather patterns and being able to check the Internet, which we can all carry around on our phones.
Still, some people still rely on the good old neighborhood tornado siren to know whether or not to get in their storm shelter/safe place/hidey hole bunker. It's only supposed to be used as an outdoor warning system – people aren't supposed to try listening for the siren in their closed up house with a loud storm overhead. But still. Why can't that technology keep up with the times?
There were a lot of nervous people around here on Wednesday who didn't have to be. There are tornado sirens that can be sounded only in the affected area. Why should someone's grandmother in Abbotsford be worried when it's really the people on Old Chipley Road who need to take cover? Why should employees in West Point take to the factory storm shelter when the danger already has passed them?
Officials have said here in the past that sirens that only go off in designated warned areas are cost prohibitive.
But what price is peace of mind?

On paper each country in the kingdom is suppose to be equal. However, European Netherlands has about 98% of both territory and population of the kingdom, not to mention the cultural meaning of being the Netherlands.
There are uniqueness to each country, though. European Netherlands uses the Euro as the primary currency but Aruba has the florin and the Netherlands Antilles uses the gulden. European Netherlands official language is Dutch but Frisian, Dutch Lox Saxon, and Limburgish are also recognized. Aruba's official languages are Dutch and a creole language Papiamento while English and Spanish are also known to many. Netherlands Antilles recognizes Dutch, Papiamento, and English officially.

I'm dropped off at two-bedroom Zing-Zing, and as my attendant, Maggie, gives me the tour, pointing out pristine appliances, a book collection and Dominican red-cedar furniture, I mouth "Oh my God!" over and over.

The New Secret Belize Resort With Nature AND Luxury

Best Caribbean Waterfall You Can't Find Without Reading This
There's nothing rugged about the hike to these two St. Vincent pools fed by mountain water that cascades over Dark View waterfalls. It's surprisingly quick and easy, with sturdy wooden stairs leading to the upper tract. In fact, the ascent is so easy that it almost detracts from the awe of the mist-shrouded pools below, making me wonder if I missed something. But my driver, David, tells me that the road into the falls ultimately ends in terrain too treacherous for pavement, well shy of the summit of La Soufriere volcano. The journey to the falls' source is possible only from Kingstown, rounding the west coast through villages with names such as Petit Bordel and Chateaubelair that nod to the island's once-French rule. It's only during my drive home that I understand. As we descend into a valley — rough-hewn by volcanic fury and forested with coconut trees awash in golden afternoon light — it becomes clear that ...

I'm not against using the whole team, not at all; however, it's my belief that a team is better defensively and offensively when they are allowed to gel by knowing where they'll play and where they'll hit in the lineup.
The combo of Whitaker and Trammell was about as effective in the middle IF, and as a double play combo, there ever was. Part of that was because they played so much together for so long. They knew each other's feeds at the pivot, they knew where the other would be on tough plays up the middle (like who would go for the ball, who would cover the bag if a force was possible at 2B) because they knew each other's range. Just a small sampling of the things you pick up as second nature when you play across from each other for so long.
Go on the other side, a shortstop gets used to the range of his 3B and positions himself accordingly, then he has another another 3B he has to gauge then another.
Or you have one guy who plays one position one day, then another the next and another the next. How is he gonna settle in? Cause all positions have their little intricacies. Our manager seems to think anyone can play anywhere and be expected to excel. Play a guy at 2B one day, then 3B the next, then 2B and move them all around.
If you pick they best guys at each spot and play them there as much as possible, they can gel defensively and be a more cohesive defensive unit...Last edited by ThePuck; 10-20-2012 at 12:32 PM.
Everything you say makes perfect sense. I won't argue directly against any of it. A cohesive unit is something to strive for...
However... Let's point out the obvious other side. The Rangers moved bodies around... Napoli would catch and play some 1b... Young was not only the DH but 3b, 1b and 2b. The Cards move em around... The Rays do as well... Prado moved around to suit the Braves along with multiple SS's in Atlanta. The Giants put out more lineups than anyone I'm guessing. Have the Tigers settled on a 2B. The A's lineup was pretty unpredictable throughout the year. The Angels are another example. For every Trammell, Whitaker combination you can come up with. You can come up with 5 other examples of moving bodies around succussfully throughout time. Granted... Injuries are the primary reason but a manager needs to be able to mix and match. If Chemistry doesn't develop... That's on the player.
A SS needs to look around and see where the LF, CF and 3B is positioned. That's basic baseball. Nearly all double play partners like to recieve the ball in the same place for a smooth turn. If you have a guy who likes the ball at his feet when turning a double play. He's strange... Cut him.
Trammell and Whitaker made a cohesive double play combo because they were good.
As for knowing where you hit in the lineup. It only matters in the 1st inning. If you lead off the inning with your 7th hitter... Your #1 Hitter is now the cleanup guy. Each at bat is a situation in itself. Make solid contact when the situation calls for it. Go the other way when the situation calls for it. Moving someone from 3rd to 8th in the order is an ego blow and nothing more. The guys at the top of the lineup get up more often than the guys hitting 8th and 9th. Good hitters in front of Big Hitters. Then turn it over and do it again.Last edited by Riverbrian; 10-20-2012 at 01:43 PM.
Within a few years, there's a damned good chance the Fielder contract is viewed as one of the worst in baseball. He may never be hurt now but do you really expect that to continue as Fielder gains more weight and ages into his 30s?
Guys with Fielder's build don't age gracefully and the Tigers signed him through his age 36 season. The guy can barely play a position at age 28. What's he going to be like at age 32? Age 35?

To quote Rod Beck: "I've never heard of anyone going on the DL because of strained fat."
I would much rather have Fielder's contract from start to finish than Mauer's. Fielder is a better hitter and it really doesn't concern me all that much what happens eight years down the line. Teams that want to win don't use inflated contracts as excuses why they can't add more players. Even Mo Vaughn was relatively healthy and productive until his age 35 season (save for the one completely missed season) and I'd say they were very similar players and body types.
Mo Vaughn is listed at 6'1", 225 lbs.
Prince Fielder is listed at 5'11", 275 lbs.
Mo Vaughn ballooned in weight right around the time when he stopped being effective (2001-2002), hitting somewhere around 275 lbs.
Not to mention that Prince Fielder is 28 years old and already weighs 275 lbs. What is he going to look like as a 32 year old? Vaughn didn't start gaining weight until his 30s. This is what he looked like in 1996 (his age 28 season):
I'll take Mauer's contract and cross my fingers.
I disagree. I think something good can happen in the playoffs ONLY if you have good pitching. Not that good pitching guarantees playoff success (or even that you will get to the playoffs) but that you are pretty much doomed in the playoffs without it. And it isn't just good pitching ... I think Dombrowski is right that you need power pitching.
Delmon has had a good post-season but I have absolutely no doubt that the Tigers are LED by Justin Verlander and Jose Miguel (Torres) Cabrera.

Cecil Fielder's last good season was his age 32 season, when he hit 39 HR's with the Yankees and Tigers. He was out of MLB after his age 34 season. Prince is already showing signs of not aging well - less range, power numbers down, inability to go 1B to 3B or score from 2B on a single. Detroit will not be happy with the last 2-4 seasons of this contract. And we will see how Leyland handles things when Martinez returns from injury next year. A good problem to be sure, but with Avila playing well and Cabrera and Fielder on the corners, will Martinez want to DH everyday?

You can believe or not believe those weights, it doesn't matter. A simple eye test tells you that Fielder is WAAAYYYYY heavier as a 28 year old than Vaughn was in the mid 90s (and let's not ignore Vaughn's 2 inch height advantage). Most sluggers are thick in their mid to late 20s but generally, they're not fat. That comes as they age into their 30s (just like everybody else).
Given Prince's weight at age 28, what do you think he's going to look like in five years?
Mauer and Fielder are similar in WAR, despite Mauer playing half his games at first and DH, something I expect to see slightly less in 2013. Now that he has proven he's healthy again, I expect to see him behind the dish a little more often. That will only boost his WAR. To boot, guys who walk and hit for average tend to age very gracefully as long as they don't suffer career-ending injuries.
Don't get me wrong, both Mauer and Fielder are risks aging into their 30s (as is everyone, really) but given Mauer's athleticism, physique, and high contact rate, I think he'll be just fine for several more years. I can't say the same for Prince, who could easily go the route of his father overnight.
Well said Brock. If (when) Fielder can't play 1B he becomes a DH. I'd suggest he already should be with Cabrera at 1B. What happens when V-mart comes back. That team is stacked with players whose best positions are 1B and DH. Ok, I got on a tangent there. When Mauer can't play C for the majority of his games he can still play a more than serviceable 1B. Five years of dominance? I realize you are referring to the next five, but over the last five Mauer has a combined WAR of 23.9 and Fielder is at 17.3. We obviously disagree on this, but I put Mauer's chances of repeating over the next five as being higher than Fielder's.

Yes, we will obviously have to agree to disagree. I think we all agree that WAR is a flawed stat. In my opinion it gives too much credence to defensive position. Someone posted a WAR update at one point saying Span was a top ten player in the league. That's not close to accurate.
As for contact rate, Fielder struck out less than Mauer in more PA this season. Their career OBP are very close and Fielder's slugging is 70 points higher.
There is a lot more to being a contact hitter than not striking out. Over the course of his career, Mauer has a much better groundball rate and line drive rate than Fielder. That means he won't hit as many homeruns but he'll gather a lot more base hits. Fielder has a much higher flyball rate, which tend to be pulled down for outs unless they leave the park. There is a reason Mauer's career BABIP is over .040 higher than Fielder's.
Mauer's swinging strike % is ridiculously low and his contact % is higher than Fielder's. When he swings, he simply doesn't miss the ball.

Mauer's 88Ks this year is more than he's ever had. Fielder 84Ks is the least he's ever had. Fielder's 162 game average for Ks is 121, Mauer's is 72. Mauer averages 16 more walks than strikeouts over 162 games. Fielder averages 30 less walks than strikeouts over 162 games.
Mauer's career BA is .323, Fielder's is .287. Mauer's career numbers with RISP are better than Fielder's career numbers with RISP
Fielder has never been the best at his position. Fielder has never won a gold glove. Fielder has never won an MVP. Fielder has never won a batting title.
One has primarily been a catcher for his career. One has planted his stone feet at 1B for his career. But Fielder, like most 1Bs, hits home runs.Last edited by ThePuck; 10-20-2012 at 09:32 PM.
Mauer has 6 years left on his contract. Fielder has 8 years left on his. I like our chances of getting better value for the duration of those contracts.

'This year is another example of... make the playoffs and anything can happen... Making the playoffs should be the primary goal every year.'
I thought winning the W Series should be the goal every year. We know we need serious pitching to handle the major offenses we face in the playoffs and we've lost our last 12 postseason games. Yes, anything can happen, but, um, that hasn't worked out well for us over the last decade...

Hmmm......all of the "let's be like the Tigers" talk has gone oddly silent.
But seriously, talk about "anything can happen in the playoffs". Who would have thunk that the Tigers could embarrass the Yankees in a 4-game sweep, then follow that up by embarrassing themselves while getting swept in the World Series?
I picked them to lose, but I thought it would go 6, and the defense would be the Tigers downfall. I did not expect their big bats to be completely silenced like that. Their hitters looked helpless and clueless up there most of the time, particularly Fielder.
Barry Zito had more RBI's than Prince Fielder in the World Series. That's pretty messed up.

Bye bye paper Tigers!
I was wrong on the Cards. They looked like they had it. You just never know in this game. It makes the game beautiful. Cabrera and Fielder didn't do much to help the Tigers but they sure helped get them there but even Cabrera can't win this game by himself.
Balance... Everything in life is Balance. From baseball to what you eat. The Twins are unbalanced because of Pitching. They don't have to have the best staff in baseball. They just need a staff that can compete with options to replace the ones who are not competing or can't compete.
Let's face it... The Twins can upgrade at every single position. The only player that is potentially best in class is Ben Revere with his speed. Everyone else has someone better across MLB at something that they do well. We don't need an overhaul... We need pitching to restore some balance to this club.

China Lifts Newly-Imposed Internet Restrictions
By editor
Now a word about the media in China - it is heavily controlled by the government. That reality was clear on Saturday when new restrictions banning commenting were imposed on two Twitter-style websites. This followed online rumors about a military coup in Beijing. The government says the rumors aren't true. And today, the restrictions were finally lifted, but the government certainly made a point about who's in charge.
The floodgates are of course open for your comments here at MORNING EDITION. You can find us on Facebook and you can follow us on Twitter @nprgreene and @morningedition.

Reforms could lead to extremism, Dr M warns Najib
KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today voiced his doubts over the veracity of Datuk Seri Najib Razak's reformist credentials, warning the prime minister that his bid to increase civil liberties in Malaysia would only lead to extremism.
In his typical no-holds-barred fashion, the former prime minister told French news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) in an interview here that Najib's formula for racial unity was "not clearly defined".
"What happens, of course, is that when you open up things — you become liberal — it is the extremists, the aggressive ones, who project their views," he was quoted by the agency as saying.
Dr Mahathir, who has been seen as Najib's most vocal critic in Umno, was speaking in reference to the latter's decision to remove the federal government's powers to jail an individual for his or her political beliefs.
Najib, the country's sixth prime minister, made a historical promise on the eve of Malaysia Day celebrations last year to repeal the controversial Internal Security Act (ISA), a long sought-after demand of civil society groups and opposition leaders.
He delivered on his promise this year and scrapped the 1960 British-enacted legislation from the country's statute books, tabling in its place a fresh security law — Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 — that removed the government's power to detain a person without trial for his political leanings.
This was among the slew of notable reform measures taken by the Najib administration, which has been seen as the ruling Barisan Nasional's (BN) attempt to widen its appeal in middle Malaysia.
But Dr Mahathir, who helmed the nation for 22 years until 2003, believes that too much freedom would result in ethnic tension, according to AFP.
"Now that we want to be liberal, what has happened is that now we are more race-conscious than before. Today, people are accusing each other of being racist.
"There is more antagonism between the races (now) than before there was this liberalisation," he was quoted as saying during the interview.
"Where there was no problem, now there is a problem," he added later.
Dr Mahathir has been widely criticised for employing hard-handed, almost authoritarian tactics to clamp down on the spread of dissent against his leadership during his tenure in government.
There is more antagonism between the races (now) than before there was this liberalisation. — Dr Mahathir
It was during his administration that Operasi Lalang occurred, when a whopping 106 individuals were arrested in Malaysia's second largest ISA swoop in history.
But Dr Mahathir insisted today that Malaysia needs a government to be "firm" apart from being fair.
"We need a government that is firm. It should be fair, it should be firm," he told the AFP interview.
Najib's government had come under heavy condemnation from local and foreign critics for purportedly using excessive force to stifle the rising civil society movement calling for fair elections.
Bersih 2.0's July 9 rally for free and fair polls last year had resulted in much chaos and a record over 1,000 arrests after riot police fired tear gas canisters and water cannons to disperse protesters who had gathered peacefully.
Following the negative backlash against his administration, Najib decided last year to enact a special law for the purpose of regulating public gatherings, in keeping with the constitutional right of Malaysians to assemble peacefully.
The government adopted a hands-off approach at first when Bersih 2.0 announced plans to hold another electoral reforms rally in the city centre, with government leaders saying the group could proceed provided it rallied within the confines of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2011.
But chaos again broke out in the capital during the April 28 event after protesters breached a police barricade around Dataran Merdeka, which had been cordoned off as the government had deemed it an unsuitable location for the rally.

The new Westport Inn announced that it has entered into an agreement with Garelick & Herbs to operate the in-house catering needs for events at the Westport Inn effective immediately.
The Westport Inn, an upscale, newly renovated 117 room hotel on Post Road East in Westport, introduced several new meeting and banquet facilities in late 2011 at the hotel, with the ability to serve up to 300 guests for weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, as well as business conferences and smaller rooms for workshops and seminars. The opulent banquet spaces have received a tremendous reception from the community with over 100 events booked to date this year.
Garelick & Herbs (garelickandherbs.com) is one of the premiere caterers of Fairfield County. With three gourmet stores in Westport, Greenwich and New Canaan, they have established themselves as among the finest high-end caterers in the region.
Paula Garelick said of the new partnering with the Westport Inn, "I am so excited to work with the Westport Inn and serve the community with such a fabulous ballroom and meeting spaces."
Dan Miller, Director of Sales and Marketing at The Westport Inn, further went on to say, "We are delighted and proud to welcome Garelick & Herbs as our in-house caterer. We are confident that with our fantastic new facilities and Garelick & Herbs' exceptional cuisine, we together can provide an unrivaled, high quality experience for our future customers and clients."
In addition to the 3500 square foot Westport Ballroom, the Westport Inn has two other meeting rooms that can each serve 100 and 150 people respectively for private parties and meetings. The inn is one of the few locations in Westport that can host large on- site catered events. The Westport Inn will soon be unveiling a brand new executive board room which will be available for intimate meetings or professional gatherings.

Defending champion Tina Maze was upstaged as Tessa Worley stormed to the gold in the women's giant slalom event at the Alpine Skiing World Championships in Schladming, Austria on Thursday.
Worley edged out the favored Slovenian by 1.12 seconds, clocking a combined time of two minutes and 8.6 seconds for her two runs to improve on her third-place finish at the 2011 event in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
"How do I feel? Just amazing, it's incredible," the 23-year-old Frenchwoman told the event's official website.
"It's been hard today. It was a very tough course and I had to concentrate on myself only, letting my skis go and not do too many mistakes. My dream has just become true. It feels great!"
It was France's fourth medal of the two-week championships, and second gold by a woman after Marion Rolland's shock downhill victory, leaving the European nation top of the leaderboard.
"We are having a very strong team and a great atmosphere here in Schladming," said Worley, who has an Australian father and French mother. "I am now part of the medalists."
Worley is 13th in the World Cup standings and fifth in the giant slalom rankings.
Maze heads both categories ahead of the resumption of the series in the German town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen next weekend, and looks destined to capture the title from U.S. star Lindsey Vonn.
Vonn had surgery on torn ligaments earlier this week following a crash right at the start of the world championships and is now battling to be fit for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Maze admitted it had been a difficult day, although she did take consolation from her second run as she added to her gold in the super-G race and silver in the super-combined.

Sebastian Vettel with Red Bull racing was highly favored to win the race after landing the pole position during Saturday's qualifying round. He came in second followed by Fernando Alonso with Ferrari.
Mark Webber, Vettel's teammate, was disqualified earlier on in the race, which helped free up the top three spot for Alonso.
"You couldn't ask for a better outcome," Ferrari team fan Salvatore Valentino said. "I never would have thought it after yesterday's qualifying."
Devoted fans like Ricardo Turlan felt certain he would take home the title in Austin Sunday.
Instead, disappointment gives way to anticipation for next week's race in Brazil.
"It makes Brazil very exciting. That's the one good thing," Sebastian Vettel fan Ricardo Turlan said. "It will make Brazil a very interesting race."
The Circuit of the Americas estimated 117,429 attended Sunday's race.

Series: Ephesians 4:1-6: A Call of Christian Unity
This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Evangelicalism and Adaptation
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Series: Thinking Aloud Together
This series by Scot McKnight relates a lecture given at the 2012 BioLogos workshop for Evangelical theologians, scientists, authors and pastors. He explains that evolution is taught in public schools, and therefore must be addressed by Evangelical pastors in the churches as well. This will educate a whole generation of upcoming scientists on the issues of science and faith. Overall, he encourages scientists and pastors to collaborate on the issue as they rethink the long held interpretations of Genesis 1-3.
Let's Not Surrender Science to the Secular World!
As much as I sympathize with Giberson and Stephens, I am concerned that one of their central assumptions—that there is a divide between 'secular knowledge' and Christian—essentially undermines their very pursuit of a middle ground where the two can be 'integrated'.
The Source of Human Value
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church
A five-year project headed by the Barna Group explores the opportunities and challenges of faith development among teens and young adults within a rapidly shifting culture.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
The Galileo Affair: Emblematic or Exceptional?
On the morning of June 22, 1633 in the hall of the convent of Santa Maria sopra Minvera in Rome, Galileo Galilei knelt before the Lord-Cardinal Inquisitors-General and publicly abjured his false opinion that the sun was the motionless center of the universe.
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Series: Reviewing "Why Evolution is True"
In this three part series, Robert C. Bishop provides a helpful review for Evangelicals of the book Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne. He first debunks many outdated ideas and myths about the theory of evolution and its implications. He then goes on to critique Coyne's conclusions about God as a "bad designer." He further addresses how Christianity and science overlap as well as how to have a meaningful discussion between two individuals with radically different views.

What is precycling?
Precycling is stopping waste before it happens. We can precycle by reducing the amount of garbage that we create. Buy bulk quantities of food, which uses less packaging. Pack your groceries in reusable canvas bags rather than paper or plastic bags. Use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable batteries. Use cloth towels and napkins instead of paper towels and napkins. For more information and tips on reducing waste, visit DEC's precycling web page.

I've been wondering that myself. Everyone who's read the comics keep talking about the "Governor" and "Woodbury". Seems to be connected to the prison which will no doubt consume a prodigious amount of next season.
So we now know that there's a place (town?) called Woodbury with a Governor that's a mean person and will pick on the Ricknators group? And the person that saved Andrea is this Michonne character.
The plot thickens.

Why camouflage a gun in the first place? With the blending–in affect derived from such practices, hunters have largely been the driving factor behind camouflage being put on their hunting guns, so as not to stand out in the hunting woods.
The military has also played a large role in bringing camouflage to the buying public. In Iraq, most of the weapons and vehicles have been painted a sandy color to blend in with the desert. The clothing worn in various combat areas have their own distinctive colors and designs so as to blend in with their surroundings.
As we jump forward in today's world there is a new process known as hydrographics, also known as immersion printing, water transfer printing, water transfer imaging or cubic printing, which is a method of applying printed designs to three-dimensional objects.
I wanted to have a gun of my own camouflaged in this new manner. I checked around the north Georgia and Tennessee areas and could not find anyone that did this type of work. There are those who will spray paint the camouflage on firearms, but this is not what I wanted. The new dip method has brought camouflage to a new level of artwork.
I met Greg Brock at a gun show in Ft. Myers, Fla., through contacts I had made with Paul Chapman of North Georgia Reloaders in Ft. Oglethorpe. Greg is a family man living in Alva, Fla., with his wife of 16 years and three children. He has been a professional firefighter in SWFL for the past 21 years and still loves his job, but he is getting close to retirement, which led him to Hydrographics.
Greg brought his catalogs, showing the different patterns and designs he currently puts on guns, to the gun show. After he and I pondered over which design I wanted, my next step was to ship my firearm to him for the work to be done. After a few weeks Greg called me and said my rifle was on its way. I was really excited to see the finished product.
When the gun arrived, as I removed it out of the box, I could not believe my eyes. Man it was beautiful work. I had Greg put the camouflage on an M4 rifle. The gun is featured in this week's picture. Greg also put camouflage on the magazines of the rifle.
An avid hunter for several years, Greg saw his first hydrographic work on a hunting bow and related that he was hooked from that moment on. He told me about all the different ways hydrographics can be used, such as on plastics, wood and glass. He said basically anything that could be painted could be hydrographed.
Greg can be contacted at: hydrographics-swfl.com, or 239 872-2551. I encourage you to view the website and see all he has to offer, or call him and he can tell you about all the possibilities. I was completely satisfied with his work and recommend him highly for any hydrographics work you may want done.

"He has two Mercedes Benzes, one Toyota SUV, 10 bank accounts. He travels frequently to the UK, to Abu Dhabi -- he has a lot of money, but he doesn't have a national tax number," says Malik, holding the file of one of 3.5 million people NADRA believes should be paying taxes.
Pakistan's tax chief Ali Arshad Hakeem is calling for a tax amnesty with a difference -- a one-time payment with no questions asked about the past but a promise to file tax returns for the next four years.
The aim is to bring people into the tax net for life. For those who still refuse, Pakistan's Federal Board of Revenues -- the main tax collection agency -- plans to get tough.
"We are going to block their ID cards, and we are going to block their bank accounts, and we are going to block their foreign travels until the either pay or file an appeal," says Hakeem.
While the proposal has yet to become law, the hope is that the new measure will bring down the country's crippling deficit and its reliance on foreign loans.
"By not paying their taxes, developed Pakistanis are forcing poverty on the rest of the country," he said.
Under the scheme, a one-off flat payment of 40,000 Pakistani rupees --- just short of $420 --- will wipe the slate clean for even lifelong tax evaders.
"We will issue notices to evaders after approval of the proposed law, and it will not be very difficult to hit them, as we have full data available about them, whether they are politicians, businessmen, cricketers or showbiz people," Hakeem told the Pakistani daily Dawn.
Nevertheless, some senior analysts have criticized the scheme as a license to launder money, saying the government should simply crack down on evaders rather than give them breathing space.
Pakistan's former chief economist, Ashfaque Hassan Khan, said the plan was unfair to those who did pay taxes and would encourage others to wait for similar amnesties in the future.

Dictionaries say the word showed up in the 80's as heavy metal dancing, usually near the stage, where the dancers banged into one another. They tentatively think it was coined from mash or mush.
