NOTE: Player not eligible for selection if added to MLB 40-man roster by 11/20. Also, Juan Carlos Paniagua signed his first contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks as "Juan Callado" on 5-8-2009 and pitched for the DSL Diamondbacks in the Dominican Summer League in 2009-10, but the contract was "pending" for almost two years and was never officially approved by MLB. The contract was eventually rejected by MLB due to "fraudulent paperwork" and Paniagua (Callado) was suspended for one year and then was declared a free-agent. He signed with the New York Yankees in March 2011 but then was suspended again and that contract was rejected, too, because his birth certificate could not be verified. Paniagua was cleared by MLB in 2012 and he signed with the Cubs on 7-9-2012. Therefore, Paniagua could be eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft for the first time in December 2013, since 2009 was his "first season" on the field and he was 18 on the June 5th immediately preceding the signing of his first contract, or he might not be eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft for the first time until December 2015, if 2012 is considered Paniagua's "first season" for Rule 5 eligibility purposes.

Also seems to be a lot of dead air time -- he and Len don't tseem to be in sync yet.
Almora goes 4-7 in yesterday's 14-inning Kane County loss, dropping his average to .636.
FG article from yesterday about the overwhelming underperformance of the 2013 Cubs. If I understand their 'Clutch' stat correctly, then the Cubs this year are 40% less clutch than the 29th-most clutch team in baseball.
I still love TCR, please don't hate me.
Garbage song, I Hate Love.
scrubbies lose...18-28
as an aside...though jim d. hasn't been awful in the booth, it's a bit disappointing he didn't/doesn't do the amount of "homework" getting to know the team or critiquing things being done like bob did.
so far, when i hear jim d. calling a game it feels like he's a national "game of the week" generic type announcer that doesn't know the team well.
he's a full-on 100% replacement for "bad joke bob" type humor, though.
link is fine
MLB.com's error page
Now pitching for the Pirates --- Jose Contreras?!
welly gets his 2nd walk of the season in his 141st PA.
I imagine that things will pick up a bit with the draft, promotions, and trades. It seems that most of the remaining posters are on board with the rebuilding process so the discussions have been slim.
all kidding aside, this team really has been running on a single bright spot (the starting rotation) and rizzo pounding the ball hard when he's not slumping (and his extension)
welly's doing as expected (though a few more homers/doubles would be nice)...valbuena is helping people forget about i.stewart, though he's not doing anything extraordinary...kevin gregg has been a nice surprise as the new closer...castro is being castro, though a few more walks or hits would be nice since he's performing slightly below expectations...
It's definitely hard to get excited about this team. When they suck like this it feels like a huge part of my summer is just completely missing, so I want to come here and get a little bit of a Cubs fix, but lately it's 100% split squad games at Fitch Park. I can't stand any of the major newspapers' coverage, and I really don't like BCB or any of the other Cubs blogs. I guess I just miss the good old days with 200+ comment threads, even if 90% of it was just The Real Neal arguing with himself.
The people demand more free entertainment, Rob G!
broken link...probably cuz MLB protects their rights on the innerweb on a scale music + film industries should be jealous of.
click this... http://mlb.com/ajkls
refresh for different lulz.
official Cubs MLB squad post for april/may - everyone sucks except for the starting pitching (sans e.jackson) and when a.rizzo isn't on a no-hit, major-K streak
save to cut/paste for june-september
So I haven't commented much lately, and I don't want to be that guy, but is this site now exclusively dedicated to Extended Spring Training? I absolutely love everything AZ Phil brings to the table, but could we maybe get a few posts about the big league squad?
I still love TCR, please don't hate me.
Nice start for Almora -- 3-4 with a double for Kane County.
Baez has picked it up lately, hits in 13 of his last 14 games..something like 19/56 with 3 BB and 9 K over that span.

What is the real state of US finances?

Right now lawmakers are working on a strategy to try to keep the government running may only have about four to six weeks left.
Before the nation hits the national debt ceiling.
Republicans are calling for budget cuts in return for raising the debt -- the President Obama came out swinging during his news conference on Monday.
Claiming he's already got a long way toward closing the budget gap.
Joining us now out of fact checked some of his statements Stephen Hayes a senior writer for the weekly standard and a Fox News contributor.
Douglas Holtz Aiken is a former director of the Congressional Budget Office he is now president of the American action forum.
Just as a general rule Stephen when when you heard the president's.
Speaking in that news conference.
Was he generally being honest with the American people about the state of our finances.
Well I would say that there were some things he said there were true there are some things that he said that weren't true and there -- some things that he said that work.
I think misleading but importantly the president didn't in mind you put into proper context the discussion.
That we're having nationally about -- the debt ceiling at about the state of our our finances more broadly.
You look at where we are more than sixteen trillion dollars in -- the president is right when he says.
That what we're talking about it when -- we're talking about raising the debt ceiling is paying bills that we've already racked up but.
He's incorrect in my view when he suggests that.
-- the raising of the debt ceiling has nothing to do with limiting future spending it most certainly -- horrible let's.
Play for you a plot.
Sound bite from him that we played a moment ago in which he wouldn't.
Have a nation believe that he has been out there at the vanguard of trying to cut wasteful spending.
-- this.
And for nearly two years now I've been fighting for such a plan.
When that would reduce our deficits by four trillion dollars over the next decade which would stabilize our debt.
Our deficit in a sustainable way for the next decade.
A Douglas I'm told and and the Washington Post actually published this that that the president is including in that four trillion dollar number.
Something like 850 billion dollars.
That he does not intend to spend on the -- -- in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Yet the four trillion dollar number do you do you just can't make get out I mean that the key budget gimmicks in there are number one.
The wars that are in Iraq and Afghanistan not counting the savings money that would never be spent.
I if you look inside his budget proposals for a whole bunch of things which he counts as old spending that are really -- paying Medicare doctors increasing pell grants.
Paper disasters like sandy.
It doesn't count any of that -- that goes against this portrait makes it smaller.
So this is an exercise that's really riddled with budget gimmicks and -- the dominant or should know that present leans heavily on is the one point two trillion dollars in the so called sequester hands.
-- -- deserves credit for that is in the eye of the beholder but it is a law signed by the president -- pass by Republicans and Democrats in congress but the key is.
It hasn't happened yet and that all the evidence is no one wants it to happen so it's partially account one point two trillion dollars in savings or something that.
Doesn't happen and maybe never will happen all right let's let's listen to and others.
Piece of sound from the president -- about making our debt manageable place.
That would be enough not only to stop the growth of our death -- -- the size of our economy but it would make it manageable.
And that's the four trillion dollars that he he is talking about saying the suggesting Stephen that date if you can cut four trillion dollars.
In spending that's going to make things hunky dory.
Well no I would say no for the reasons that doesn't suggest that for found dodges and really -- dark haven't I think you could make the argument that if it were real -- -- -- It would be an effective pack to short term fix what it will not do however.
-- change the long term debt trajectory of the country and there's really no discussion particularly discussion.
That involves the white house on a serious level about changing the debt trajectory of the country -- not hearing from the president proposals for a long term.
Structural entitlement reform which everybody in Washington everybody who's paid even cursory attention.
To these issues understands is what's really.
And her dad and I just have to let our viewers know that Stephen is not a -- out there are cables behind his head for the I don't know why after just half a step up and -- ago.
Who who are getting ready to clean clearly knows they're in our Washington bureau all right let's let me play one more about spending cuts and tax revenue.
Over the past two years I've signed in the law about one point four trillion dollars in spending cuts.
Two weeks ago I signed in law more than 600 billion dollars in new revenue by making sure the wealthiest Americans begin to pay their fair share.
So how did the White House -- arrive at that number though one point four trillion -- what.
Well I just wanna say we all agree on the 600 billion dollars in tax increases that's the -- -- -- the president's talked about over the past week.
The one point portraying comes from the White House magic abacus I don't know where they get it it's got to be at least one point two trillion out of that sequester and and who knows what else.
But I think the important point -- what I wanna go back to what you're Mary met Saddam at that the president is talking.
About stabilizing the debt.
If we do that we will stabilize the debt at a dangerously high level that's what -- are now.
And so the playing and is to keep the United States and the danger zone a perpetual financial crisis and anemic growth and that's just not aggressive enough he needs to change the surge actually Stephen mentioned.
-- and -- and your point of view he's he's taking credit or or claiming.
Spending cuts that necessarily aren't that aren't necessarily there.
I think for the reasons that Doug laid out and look -- mean you know that this is the president I think.
Who hasn't shown much eagerness to get serious about the -- when David Axelrod -- -- advisor was asked about the president's second term priorities before the election.
He ticked off six different issues and never once mentioned debt and deficits I think that's an accurate reflection of how the -- how the president -- these issues.
Gotta pay attention to the word that's for sure Stephen thank you Stephen Hayes and Douglas Holtz Aiken Richard thank you thanks job of.

Q&A: John Terzian and David Arquette
The owners of WeHo's Bootsy Bellows discuss the Los Angeles nightlife scene.
May 22, 2013
David Arquette and John Terzian rev up LA's nightlife scene. |
With summer fun almost officially upon us, we thought it fitting to chat with two of the city's nightlife experts—John Terzian and David Arquette.
Co-owners of the vaudeville-style nightclub Bootsy Bellows (9229 W. Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, 310-274-7500), Terzian and Arquette told Los Angeles Confidential how they came together, and the secret to a successful Los Angeles party venue.
How did you start working together on Bootsy Bellows?
JOHN TERZIAN: We met through mutual friends and really complemented each other—we had a similar goal to achieve with nightlife, and we stayed true to it. It has been an amazing partnership.
What is the secret to opening a successful nightspot in Los Angeles?
DAVID ARQUETTE: To make the place fun, unique, and create an atmosphere that makes people feel comfortable enough to laugh, dance, see their friends, meet people, and fall in love—yes, even at a club.
JT: I just try to have the venue be a "home" for customers so that they always feel comfortable coming. My philosophy has been to create a space that people want to visit during good times and bad times.
How do you think the LA nightlife scene is changing?
JT: There was a time when you would just enter a place and everyone would be seated and staring at everyone else in the room. [Now] it's more about people dancing, watching performers, musicians, and all other forms of live entertainment. It is a fun time in LA nightlife.
Is there a neighborhood you think is particularly hot right now?
JT: The surrounding area of Abbot Kinney in Venice.
DA: In my opinion Bootsy has the best location. There is nothing like the Sunset Strip for going out and having a crazy and wild time.
Bootsy Bellows will be a year old in June. Any big plans?
DA: No big plans yet, but I am sure there will be a Michael Jackson celebration at some point and a birthday party that shouldn't be missed.
JT: I just plan on it being another fun night/week at Bootsy as it has been for the past year.
What's next for you?
JT: I am focused on the new place we are opening—formerly The Beverly—which will debut this summer.
DA: I have a show called Cleaners that will be streaming on Crackle. I am also working on a few films and finally working on expanding Bootsy Bellows to international cities around the world.

Star Trek Into Darkness Premiere
The summer blockbuster drew top talent to its fun-filled premiere afterparty.
May 20, 2013
Last week, the cast of Star Trek Into Darkness celebrated the film's Los Angeles premiere at the Dolby Theatre, followed by an afterparty event at Hollywood's AV Nightclub. The movie's cast—which includes the likes of Zoe Saldana, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Alice Eve, and Chris Pine—partied well into the evening.
Given the pedigree of director J.J. Abrams, the fête drew Hollywood talent in addition to those directly involved with the movie. Tom Cruise made a surprise appearance to congratulate Abrams and mingle with Paramount Pictures executives Brad Grey and Rob Moore. David Spade and Kate Beckinsdale were also in attendance, while some of Abrams' Lost cast members like Jorge Garcia swung by to show their continued support of the director.
The club was enhanced by décor befitting the theme, including a giant Starfleet insignia arch that guests traveled under to enter the event. The main room was embellished with purple and ivory carpets, tufted couches, silver cocktail tables, and an oversized modern chandelier. Once inside, event-goers could take to the dance floor and enjoy DJ Bizzy's tunes, or check out the new Star Trek Xbox game in a designated Xbox lounge area.
Joie Comes to Pasadena
The California fashion brand expands with a Parisian-style store on Colorado Blvd.
May 20, 2013
Last month, California style brand Joie celebrated the opening of its seventh US retail location on Pasadena's famed Colorado Boulevard. The Parisian-inspired store showcases Joie's complete collection, including Joie Soft, Joie Shoes, Joie Handbags, and the recently-launched fragrance, Folle de Joie.
Designed with Joie's effortlessly chic customer in mind, the Pasadena space has the feel of a bright city apartment, furnished with vintage accents to play off the crisp modern interior. Antique Parisian rugs dot the clean washed herringbone floors, while clothing and accessories are showcased on chrome racks and lit inset shelves that surround a beautiful armoire with carved songbirds at its peak. Even the store's exterior hints at the shopping experience inside via intricately carved wrought-iron accents and a polished white-stone border.
With its corporate headquarters located in a Downtown LA loft, Joie offers quintessential California clothing, boasting airy silk and soft cotton fashions that allow the wearer to be simultaneously sophisticated and comfortable. This boutique coincides with a wave of expansion, which also includes their first location in Connecticut, and a new online boutique at joie.com. 47 W. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, 626-243-5704
Get Yourself to The Greek's Concerts
The scoop on eight must-see shows at the famed LA music venue.
May 20, 2013
The National, Cyndi Lauper, and the Steve Miller Band are among some of the exciting acts at The Greek this summer.
The Greek Theatre's 2013 season kicked off Cinco de Mayo weekend, but some must-see concerts are still to come. With a lineup featuring contemporary headliners like Fun, Carly Rae Jepsen, and The National, the 5,900-seat outdoor theater is sure to see a packed house all season long, but we've picked our top eight. 2700 N. Vermont Ave., Griffith Park, 323-665-5857
For '80s lovers: Whether you gravitate toward poppy dance hits, slow love ballads, or rock tunes, there's a throwback performance for you. Cyndi Lauper (June 13, 8 pm, $25-$85) is celebrating the 30th anniversary of her debut album with her She's So Unusual tour, and some tickets include a VIP meet-and-greet with the artist. Collaborations between Pat Benatar, Neil Giraldo, and Cheap Trick (June 8, 7 pm, $35-$75), as well as '80s staple Heart alongside Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience (August 22-23, 7:30 pm, $36-$81), also promise to be pure fun.
For a chance to see concert legends: Don't miss your opportunity to see some classic bands that might not continue to perform together much longer. The Steve Miller Band will take the stage with special guest The Doobie Brothers; both bands will pair their signature rock anthems with some newer releases (June 20, 7:30 pm, $40-$125). We also suggest snagging tickets now to see Brian Wilson reunite with original Beach Boys members Al Jardine and David Marks this fall (October 20, 7:30 pm, $35-$75).
For something completely different: The Greek is just as legendary for its headlining performers as it is for bringing new and unique sounds to LA. Check out a live production of Garrison Keillor's esteemed radio show, "A Prairie Home Companion," with special guests Lily Tomlin, Paula Poundstone, and Jearlyn and Jevetta Steele (June 7, 7:30 pm, $46-$99). Or, catch The Greek debut of the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration with Warren Haynes, which features orchestral interpretations of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead's classic rock sounds (August 4, 8 pm, $40-$100). If you like classical music—with a side of contemporary pop—check out the talented vocals from The Tenors (June 1, 8 pm, $35-50).

Dinner Plans: One Pico's New Menus
Chef Sven Mede revamps dinner and lunch menus at Shutters on the Beach's oceanfront resto.
May 17, 2013
Enjoy chef Sven Mede's new farm-to-table menu paired with oceanfront views at One Pico.
Shutters on the Beach's fine-dining establishment, One Pico, just received menu makeovers from By the Blue Sea's restaurant group managing chef, Sven Mede. The restyled offerings reflect Mede's commitment to seasonal, farmer's market cuisine, and will continue to be updated in accordance with what's available from local markets.
Served in One Pico's stunning beachfront dining room, the light, California cuisine reflects the restaurant's ocean surroundings. Under the market plates section, diners can find a fresh red Russian kale salad featuring toasted almonds and blood orange vinaigrette, or a cucumber gazpacho with avocado, radish, and croutons. Meanwhile, appetizers focus on seafood, such as an organic salmon crudo, grilled Pacific shrimp, and pan-seared calamari. Mains are also seafood-centric, with some standouts including a cornmeal-crusted local rock fish—though meaty items like a double Kurobata pork chop, and Creekstone Farm New York strip should not be overlooked.
Mede has also re-imagined the lunch menu, which comprises many of the same market plates, as well as entrée salads like a seared tuna nicoise with arugula, green beans, olives, piquillo peppers, potato, and quail egg. Reservations for both lunch and dinner are recommended by calling the restaurant at 310-587-1717. 1 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica

Toast Whisky Day at Rosewood Tavern
The WeHo bar offers a sizable selection of Scotch whiskys for this international holiday.
May 16, 2013
Rosewood Tavern's bar offers rare varieties of Scotch whisky.
West Hollywood's Rosewood Tavern is the perfect place to toast World Whisky Day this Saturday, May 18. Many people come to enjoy the vast selection of craft beers on tap, not even realizing that the bar boasts one of the city's finest collections of Scotch whisky.
Divided by region, the menu features covetable pours like Glenmorangie Nectar D'or from Highland, or the Bowmore Tempest small-batch release from Islay. Whiskys from the Lowland, Speyside, Isle of Mull, Isle of Skye, and Campbeltown regions are also represented, as are a small selection of Japanese varieties, and even Irish whiskey.
Complement your glass with gourmet snacks like garlic-herb fries, tandoori-spiced chicken wings, or horseradish deviled eggs. Or make it a full meal with hearty pub fare like the Rosewood Tavern Burger, which features housemade Thousand Island, cheddar, butter lettuce, tomato, and red onion, served between a pretzel bun. 448 N. Fairfax Ave., West Hollywood, 323-944-0980

[Solved] Opacity
I am reading about opacity and they give this example:
background: rgb(255, 255, 255); background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.6);
What is the point in having the background color repeated twice, with one with opacity? If I take out background: rgb(255, 255, 255); nothing changes.
Thanks in advance for your help.
@jansentina You are right. There is no point in repeating it. You can use the
rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.6);
alone or you can use the following:rgb(255, 255, 255); opacity: 0.6;
Here's a quick pen: http://codepen.io/srig99/pen/qdIgo.
Note that
changes the text's opacity that is inside in thediv
too!It's used as a fallback for browsers that don't support rgba.
Normally it would look something like this:
background: white; /* < IE9 */ background: rgba(255,255,255,0.6);

wow that really is a rust-bucket!!
What the hell are you talking about, I don't see any rust ...
This is with reference to the previous comment "wow that really is a rust-bucket!!"
The person that made the comment seems to want to put down the engine. I admit that I have no idea about how it works or the relative merits or demerits of that particular engine. It certainly does not look like a rust bucket. And for all that commenter knows it can be the most advanced piece of technology out there.
Just because the heading of rthis post had "Lumbering" in it and sounded negative, this person had to put it down. I expect he/she is designing the next engine that the F22 is going to use..
Whether it is the Kaveri or any other similar project for that matter, the DRDO and other labs are accumulating experience with the texhnology and that is of great value. I think that should be appreciated. - 2:10 AM

pure scrap
Shiv, go to BR and check the latest about Kaveri. Undergoing flight tests. It's almost over.
shiv, tell us why do you call it "lumbering" ?
not so bad either...........had we reversed engineered like chinese aany thing would have been possible.........
why is it scrap ? Although it didnt come all the way to our expectations, still we learned from it. The problem with most of u is that you look at western planes, engnes etc and think india should be able to make one too. Thats not possible we have to learn something now, what theyve been doing for a few decades. Comeon think about it from Marut (generation 2) we jumped to LCA (gen 4. now go and do a google search and see how many countries have been able to do that. Due to socio/political/economical reasons we couldnt develop weapon system etc like the other nations, but instead of derifind whatever small steps we are taking now, we should be proud of them.
but Alas people like you will see a brochure of f-22 and start complaining again why cant we make those. - 11:51 AM
I don't know why every inanimate object has to have a name!Think of this, talking about Engine here and call it "Kaveri"; call a cat ot a dog that!What's wrong with simply PowerjetIN245 or whatever.I can't ever recall the river Kaveri being one of those boisterous forces anyway!
Anon@ 1.06AM,
Care to explain your comment? - 4:20 PM
Specs decide whether its lumbering or racy!! What are the details about the power output/weight ratio, Shiv?
A distinction needs to be made here between patriotism (by always appreciating DRDO for all the crap it produces) or criticism(for its failed projects).
I understand DRDO is a haven for its workers and scientists but for other simple taxpayers its a money sucking blackhole.
Tell me what's the use of accumulating knowledge? DRDO is accumulating it since almost forever, what is DRDO planning to do of such knowledge.
By knowledge are you referring to the yellow paged notebooks which drdo scientists carry?
A aircraft engine is a complex machine not easy to master, even chinese couldn't reverse engineer russian rd-33 for their JF-17. Chinese did make an exact replica of RD but their engine lacked in one critical area i.e. it was slower to respond to increased thrust requirement.
Coming back to DRDO's Kaveri , its a completely failed project whats harm in calling it a rust bucket?
And yes this piece of crap engine shouldn't be named after a revered river. - 8:23 PM
To Anon @ 8.23PM,
Agree with your sentiment. Do qualify your statement about it being crap. Specific info would be welcome. - 11:10 PM
I was under the impression that the engine performed to its initial specs but then the requirements changed(IAF), and DRDO could not improve on the Kaveri.
Am I wrong ? - 11:18 PM
To the last poster. Do you understand what "complete faliure means". I think you have a problem with your comprehension of the English language. The Kaveri engine is by no stretch of the imagination a "complete faliure" and I am not being patriotic!! It has lead to the navalized version which is powering a ship at this time, it has proved a lot of technologies and concepts for the scientists working on engine. It takes 20-30 years for developing an engine, India is trying to develop a modern engine from scratch, of course we will have problems. And for your information, in English slang language "lumbering" means huge or large, that is what Shiv was referring to, there is nothing negative about that. You need to examin your rusted brain that is stuck in the "faliure" mode.
- Arun said...
I cant believe these idiots. Only an Engineer would understand how difficult it is to develop a technology. I dont where these babbling idiots come from, but to tell you guys the truth, I wont give up technology I developed to anyone. So good luck trying to replicate what I did in the paper I am going to publish in two months. It is about the spray characteristics of urea water solution being injected into a stream of exhaust gases. There are not many research papers on that , and you idiots wont believe how difficult it is to get information on that.
That is a simple example of how technology can be held back. The Americans made the first airplane. But at the time there were simultaneous inventions of propulsion systems, and the West had already evolved into an industrialized society.
At that time , we were being ruled by the British, and had apprehensions about technology, because we were stuck in our f**in past. And for all purposes we still are....because we f****in blame our engineers for producing sub standard stuff, and praise the westerners, even though our stuff was made at a 100th of the cost...it is like comparing a Mercedes and a Ford. The Ford does the job, and is suitably entertaining to drive...hell the Mustang is one awesome car...but then the Merc is in a different class....why? because it is F*****IN more expensive. The Merc's development cost, its testing cost, the materials used, are all more expensive...there is no need for it, but they just do it...
In the F-22's case....do these babbling air force top brass f**kers realise that the F-22's program cost was about $65 billion?? If the Indians could cough up that much money for the whole fo our armed forces in one year....it would sound preposterous.... And the fuckers at IAF want an LCA which has the weapons load of an F-18, the manouverability of an F-16, the stealth of an F-22, and the thrust to weight ratio of the F-22....how fantastic....
The Kaveri Engine when it was conceived , was just conceived for just 81KN of max thrust...now that the F*****in air force has changed its ASR..the kaveri needs to develop 120KN without throwing turbine blades....that is when we have only started developing single crystal turbine blade tech...oh and that kind of thrust increase would mean a more than 20% increase in operating temperatures...how do I know that? I specialize in CFD. Oh anyways, I am still here in the USA doing my masters in mechanical engineering with fluid mechanics as my major...maybe I would be going to Cranfield University in England for my second Masters in aerodynamics and turbine engines...but that is still a ways away....then I will have more for these f***ks...because then I will have more authority to talk about it...The Russians first made their jet engine from a reverse engineered copy of a British Jet engine...and the americans first made their jet engine after they got an actual engine from the brits...did India copy technology like the chinese or the Russians? No because we have B**lls....
Anyways, we are still learning and let them do their f***in work...
It took the WEST a long time to develop jet tech... so give the guys time.
Well I think Mr. Aroor, you should be mindful, and find out exactly how much time it takes to develop a jet engine from scratch( core, metallurgy tech, etc) and then call the effort 'lumbering'.
I am not saying that we should give the DRDO plaudits, they should not get anything till they finish their development...but what they need is resources...and for that...we need to rid India of our f****in politicians and bureaucracy...maybe we young Indians to take the country over and put these F**kS who sold our country ( by being corrupt) in prison , and then build our country together which has the potential to be the most prosperous in the world....
Jai Hind. - 7:34 AM
Compared to the earlier displays of the engine, this one looks very nea and almost ready
- hawkeye said...
hey u rust prone asshole, no pkstni junk here for allahsake
engine dev takes time and it will work Insha- Allah ! - 9:08 AM
Lumbering(Slow and laborious because of weight) for an aircraft engine surely signifies failure and its a rather good term to define a failed jet engine. After 30 years of blowing money into development what's the use of "lumbering" engine. Chinese rejected their copy of russian engine as it 'lumbered' only a little while accelerating, so don't underestimate that word.
It will be great to see if that can be turned into a naval turbine.
Now my question is how is DRDO planning to tackle the complexity of aircraft engines? Has it learnt from its mistakes in this project and several other failed ones?
Or they are again planning next(future) generation of equipment which will take another 30 yrs to .....
My other question what's patriotism has to do with accepting failure? just to remind you drdo's materials department has done decent job of producing carbon airframe and it takes more than just money to develop tech, instead of shouting here why cant you learn from that department and relax internal babuism a little. - 3:54 PM
- Arun said...
FYI....Chinese copy of the Lyulka(now Saturn) Al-31 called the Woshang Taihan -WS-10 was 50% slower in acclereation.....they could not even do a copy quite right....
- captainjohann said...
I saw this engine mockup in 1974 when i first visited HAL.Politicians,media have no way to ask questions from the HAL CEOs and HAL has no shame showing of this engine.Unless it is merged with LCA and IAF is made to fly compulsorily, it has no future.
arun@ 7:34 AM
you had written so well......only if the words with ***** could have been avoided......keep posting your comments....
there was a article regarding the gripens not coming to aero india.....and a user had pointed out that LCA originaly had box shaped air- intakes and it was with the involvement of the french Snechma that the present curved intakes came into existence.....can you throw some light on the issue........
the link- https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6050542&postID=8787674138141571367&isPopup=true - 11:44 PM
its damn easy for a B.A. pass type journo like this Shiv Aroor, to make a comment like "lumbering" and for other non-engineer and non-science related types to make derogatory remarks on DRDO and its engineers and scientists. it takes someone with a level of education in science and some industry or laboratory experience to even START to appreciate how complex the technology that DRDO works on is..that nowhere else in all of India is this technology available..and the money spent on it is peanuts compared to what US, UK, France, etc. spend..its too much to expect nitwits like this journalist or some of the other anonymous posters who talk of "taxpayer's money"..
even most private sector companies in India simply get foreign consultants who do all the legwork and only the assembly of plants/equipment is done by the private sector themselves. - 2:02 AM
- Shiv Aroor said...
that's right kartik. it takes a half-wit mediocrity-loving buffoon like you to say all that nonsense you just said :) get a life, and a passion for excellence, and maybe you'll understand what criticism means. moron.
Well said Shiv, keep up the good work.
kartik @ 2:02am is none other than Mr.Prasun .K. Sengupta.
kaveri is a kalank on our r&d establishment. i have seen these bloody gtre fellows preening at seminars and defence functions in india and abroad as if they have invented the greatest turbofans on earth. they have the best facilities and the most complacent & lazy scientists. look at the npol fellows. you will never even see them anywhere. quietly they do their work and deliver wondrous products for the entire nation to admire. the sonars which has made our country fully selfreliant come from that lab. and look at gtre. what have they done? bloody nothing. and they have the gall to display kaveri engine at aero india as if it is some achievement. it is a worthless piece of trash as has been described by some here. i disagree with the post title. it is not lumbering programme. it is a DEAD programme, and should rightly be killed by the govt, and the scientists of gtre should be thrown behind bars for wasting national funds.
- Mihir said...
"Kartik" @ 2:02am has probably done more work on cutting-edge aircraft tech than all of you anonymous folks (and shiv) put together.
So I would show him a little more respect. - 4:18 AM
- Shiv Aroor said...
mihir: actually, i've done NO work on cutting edge aircraft technology! have you? :) and whoever "kartik" may be, either way, it takes nothing from the fact that the kaveri is an emblem of mediocrity. plain and simple. and this has nothing to do with the self-reliance argument. sometimes it just boils down to not being able to cut it. so let's get real about who shows who respect!
Why so less number of intake blades for this engine..11? Other engine in the same blog "F-125IN engine" has close to 30 blades.
- Mihir said...
Mediocrity of what? The product? Or the effort that went into making the engine? About the former, you are right, though in a very narrow sense. But as far as the latter goes, a lot of information revealed at AI '09 shows that the GTRE did a good job, considering the odds they were against. Sniperz11 has done an excellent job documenting this on BR.
I hope you are the same Kartik I know :-D - 10:32 AM
- Mihir said...
PS: Shiv, though I haven't worked on aircraft engines, I have done my share of research and know what goes into the development of a new product. Excellence doesn't come cheap, and "passion for excellence" alone isn't enough when it comes to developing an extremely complex technology. When a company is developing something totally new, the performance of the final product often falls below expectations, and it is not difficult for the layman to label the effort an "emblem of mediocrity", when it is anything but. Kartik is the expert here, and he's absolutely right. You aren't.
- Bobs said...
anon @ 9:15 am
those are not intake blades....they are simply the inlet guide vanes....some turbofans have while others don't. - 11:49 PM
so the kartik @ 2:02am was none other than the poor BRfite 'Mihir'.....pity he got a verbal treat from shiv.....keep it up,shiv...we expect more from you including your trademark FLYING F's.
anon @ 9:15am
why less blades???? man,the funds were not sufficient - 11:54 PM
That is the problem with dumbed down forums like this. Folks cant make out the difference between and inlet guide vane and a fan blade, and they become 'experts' on Gas Turbines!.
And yeah, passion for excellence indeed. Somehow I never got the impression that Indian Express and Headline Today were exactly places that were either "Excellent" in themselves or gave a damn about nurturing excellence . The "Express" is anything but "Excellent" and if they excel in anything it is in mudslinging and hatchet jobs. - 12:25 AM
It will never equip all LCA, why because there are better aircraft on offer to India. More importantly Indi has the cash to buy them. Thats why India will lag behind, unless it relies on weaker equipment.
On regards to reverse engineering, why has India failed to do that. Copying is not easy and it creates the infustructure for future weapons. - 2:17 AM
"They are simply the inlet guide vanes....some turbofans have while others don't."
I C. Hmmm. Will there be that much needed weight reduction if we remove them? - 9:09 PM
rubbish. the kaveri is a dud. anyone can say anything about it. it is a dud. and not because india does not have good scientists. but because gtre has been cursed with complacent, narrow-minded, lazy, crooked and plain untalented staff from the word go. the kaveri engine project has been cursed from the very beginning. i interned briefly with the lab in the mid 90's and can tell you first hand that it was the most uninspiring platform for a new professional. if someone wants to lose all sense of love for technology and the pursuit of excellence, then they should without fail apply for an internship with gtre.
I dont understand why India is not putting more effort and uregency into developing jet engines and computer chip. These are technologies that are very important to India's developement. BTW, GTRE guys and Indian people should understand setbacks are part of developement. GTRE would be failures only if they give up; they have to keep going.

Hi all,
Why so many people have to put 'ANONYMOUS" comments?Many of them may be working in the project and they are unable to voice their opinion freely and frankly within the limitations of security. I hope TRUTH is told and India produces ENGINES which are fitted in aircrafts. - 11:15 AM
My bros frankly speaking there has been a lot of efforts that has went in but the only thing that we got was the embargo in 1998 & lack of funds from 2000-04,changing requirements of IAF(cant blame them for that) and what do we get all this crisism.& for the captain above yes im am a gov employ. by ARUN KURUP(working for DRDO)
- captainjohann said...
Dear Arun Kurup,
Why criticism or answering them is such a bad idea?
You have revealed three reasons for failure of the engine's progress
1.1998 Embargo
2Lack of funds
3.Changing IAF requirements.
I saw this mock up (may be the same in 1972 or 1974 when i visted HAL).
HF24,Dornier 228.AVRO 748,GNATs and Ajeets.
One has to analyse OPENLY why these aircrafts are not flying now?Even today GNATS can eb a good fighter in valleys like J7K or in Assam.One has to expose the IMPORT LOBBY which functions in Defence Ministry and Services headquarters.How the airstaff requirements are changed to suit the imports. etc. - 7:35 PM
My bro captain,ur mentioning of the gnat's & ajeet r not relavant.THERE is no such big advantage of using them in the valley's & flying these 2nd gen planes,maintaining them and managing there operational costs is difficult. Speaking about the import lobby,there is no such big lobby operating now,since the late 80's.But still many a times we swing towards countries due to cheap diplomacy,but after the bill to avoid middle men & ets & to establish direct link with the provider there has been a lot of improvements.Sending u this reply from rajastan,where the brammos block 2 test r succesfully concluding.
JAI HIND (arun kurup) - 12:33 PM
Humm-captain sorry for that short comment but know i am having an half n hour tea brake so i am writing this,proud to say that we have successfully concluded the block 2 tests of the brammo & r the only nation to have such a high precisson cruise missle,10 times better than US TOMMO.Just few tests away for induction.Regarding ur previous quiries,i would like to say that critisisum is good but if u read the previous comments of many other iddiots u will realize that they r not aware of what they r talking about,most of them have done no home work on the topic they r talking about & r expressing there presonal oppinions & mislead information.Sir ur q about the avro,i would like to mention that there r better machine available today & we have keep pace with our enimies.It has been great talking to u Sir,JAI HIND (arun kurup)
Indeed. Developing a turbofan engine from scratch doesn't just take basic knowledge about operation of jet engines, it takes every component in attentive detail, and the desired result is the full functionality with minimal flaws.
India is progressing on developing its indigenous turbofan with pure R&D. - 12:54 PM
- captainjohann said...
Dear Arun,
I saw your reply only today.We are proud of Brahmos but there are enemy agents who can fit chips on them that it can fail. Hope we have full scope safeguards.
I donot agree with you about import lobby.It functions and functions very effectively in all the three service hqtrrs.The recent arrest of DRDO procurement boss by CBI says that it can enter the science lobby also. - 3:19 PM
"kaveri is an emblem of mediocrity. plain and simple" and you say you have no expertise then shut your mouth, moron!

Three Robbed by Two Men at Woodson Grocery Store
By: KARK
Updated: November 25, 2012
Pulaski County Sheriff's Deputies are looking for two men who robbed the Woodson Grocery, on Woodson Lateral Road, south of Little Rock.
The two men robbed the store at gunpoint around 5:45 last night.
The clerk told investigators that he and another employee were forced to empty the register.
A customer entered the store during the robbery and his money was also taken by the men.
The robbers got away with an undisclosed amount of money as well as some tobacco.
Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage.
One man was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, with a white bandana and blue jeans.
The other robber had a grey hooded sweatshirt with white accents on the abdomen.
That man was also wearing blue examination gloves.

Esophageal spasms are abnormal contractions of the muscles in the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach). These spasms do not move food effectively to the stomach.
Diffuse esophageal spasm; Spasm of the esophagus
The cause of esophageal spasm is unknown. Very hot or very cold foods may trigger an episode in some people.
It can be hard to tell a spasm from angina pectoris, a symptom of heart disease. The pain may spread to the neck, jaw, arms, or back
Nitroglycerin given under the tongue (sublingual) may be effective in an acute episode of esophageal spasm. Long-acting nitroglycerin and calcium channel blockers are also used to treat esophageal spasms.
Long-term (chronic) cases are sometimes treated with low-dose antidepressants such as trazodone or nortriptyline to reduce symptoms.
Rarely, severe cases may need dilation (widening) of the esophagus or surgery to control symptoms. However, it is not clear whether these procedures will help.
An esophageal spasm may come and go (intermittent) or last for a long time (chronic) . Medicine can help relieve symptoms.
The condition may not respond to treatment.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of esophageal spasm that don't go away.
Avoid very hot or very cold foods if you get esophageal spasms.

Everyone loves the classic potato chip flavors like cheddar or sour cream and onion. However, some rare gems lurk within the more 'unusual' flavor combinations.
Distributed by several of the top potato chips brands, such as Lays and Pringles, loaded baked potato chips are a delicious combination of hearty potato, tangy cheddar, salty bacon bits and cool sour cream with just a hint of chives. Not since bar-b-que has a chip flavor been so spot on.
One of the oldest types of flavored potato chips around, salt and vinegar is definitely not a flavor for everyone. This somewhat sour option pairs extremely well with seafood.
The most common 'unusual' potato chips flavor, dill pickle potato chips are extremely tangy and tart, and pair well with potato or egg salad sandwiches.
This hard-to-find potato chip variety, distributed by Herr's, rivals loaded baked potato chips in it's authenticity and similarity to the real thing. Works well with picnic foods such as pasta salads and corn dogs.
Usually found only in kettle chips, mustard and honey mustard are extremely tasty but very overpowering, and can take over the flavor of your main dish when served on the side. These chips are best enjoyed alone as a snack.
Nice list! h5!
Great list!
Kettle brand Honey Dijon chips are my favorite potato chips of all time. :)
Loaded Baked Potato is SO good! :)
Your list is making me hungry!! I haven't tried the loaded baked potato ones, but I want to!

Actually, i don't see the point of BC with PS3. It only makes console too complicated and stop progress because you cannot change architecture much without losing BC. You can continue to use PS3 for PS3 games at the same time as PS4 for newer games.
It's simply impossible to emulate Cell CPU on x86 CPU in real time. Putting Cell CPU as second to x86 is lame too because to much heat and high price. At the end, PS3 didn't die without PS2 BC. Most likely, very popular PS3 games will be re-released for PS4.

Hey folks,
A while back, I started developing a world known as Athaeon, which was something of a fantasy world on a Lord of the Rings scale, but then life intervened, And I had to stop development on it. But, now that I'm back, It's going full steam ahead. My question is, Would anyone be willing to help flesh out some of the more visual aspects of it? You'll have plenty of creative freedom, and I have some low standards, so don't think you wont be good enough to do it.
PM me if you'd be interested in helping with it!
RavenOperative's opinion of me:
(Said in jest, of course.)

Column: Surprising Giants win 2nd title in 3 years
The San Francisco Giants celebrate after winning Game 4 of baseball's World Series against the Detroit Tigers Sunday, Oct. 28, 2012, in Detroit. The Giants won 4-3 to win the series. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya ) |
DETROIT — It ended exactly the way it should have, with the Triple Crown winner frozen at the plate. Miguel Cabrera was so focused on a slider that his bat never moved as a fastball zoomed by for a called third strike. What made it even more fitting is that Sergio Romo, the guy who threw it, has been San Francisco's closer for all of two months.
Anyone who predicted the World Series would end in a sweep must have had it the other way around. The bookmakers in Vegas certainly did. But the improbable has been the Giants' calling card all postseason.
In all, they faced six elimination games and won every one. Down 0-2 in a best-of-five against Cincinnati, San Francisco became the first team to sweep the next three on the road. Down 1-3 against St. Louis in the championship series, they won their next three and the National League pennant.

The greatest place on earth. =P Often used to describe a great memory two or more people shared. Could be anything from "hugging" to "tap dancing", depends upon what is enjoyable to you. Most of the time it is used when you wanna tell people you did something fun but it's hard to explain why it was fun and you're too lazy to give all the disney world. Friend: "Hey man, me and my girlfriend went to Disney world last night:)"
Man: "I thought you said you watched tv and ate popcorn?" Friend: "We did, but I enjoyed it more than normal cause I had her there with me." Man: "I see" |

The world's only people trap operated by a mouse. You get overcharged for everything, but have so much fun in the process that by the time you realise you don't have enough money to eat for the rest of your pitiful vacation, you've already starved.

project: James Mill's common place books
Grant Holder:
A three-year Collaborative Doctoral Award to transcribe and digitally publish James Mill's common place books, currently held in the archive of the London Library. The project is also researching James Mill's intellectual history, particularly the period of his close relationship with Jeremy Bentham (1808-1832). Because Mill was raised and educated in Scotland, there is also a significant Scottish Enlightenment context to the project. [read more]
project: Unlocking the Celtic Collector; The Mind, Methods and Materials of Alexander Carmichael (1832-1912).
Grant Holder: Dr John Scally
The Carmichael Watson collection in Edinburgh University Library, centred on the papers of the pioneering folklorist Alexander Carmichael (1832-1912), is the foremost collection of its kind in the country, and is crucial to understanding the customs, storytelling traditions, poetry, songs and general lore of the Gaelic-speaking areas of Scotland. The project will see an intense dissemination and research programme alongside development of a digital resource that will enable users to search fully-indexed catalogue descriptions, full text transcriptions and biographical records. [read more]
project: William Godwin's Diary
Grant Holder:
The project provides a digital edition of the diary of William Godwin (1756-1836). Godwin's diary consists of 32 octavo notebooks. The first entry is for 6 April 1788 and the final entry is for 26 March 1836, shortly before he died. The diary is a resource of immense importance to researchers of history, politics, literature, and women's studies. [read more]
project: An electronic corpus of 15th century Castilian cancionero manuscripts; towards completion of the Dutton project
Grant Holder: Professor Dorothy Severin
When Brian Dutton died prematurely in his 60th year (1994), he had completed his magnum opus, the seven-volume El cancionero castellano del siglo XV, in book format (Salamanca: Universidad, 1990-91), but although he had used electronic preparation of texts, he was unable to fulfil the dream of conversion to electronic usage. We can now present the online website version of the Dutton project of courtly verse, alongside our own project of the longer moralistic, didactic and religious Castilian verse of the fifteenth century. [read more]
project: Wyndham Lewis's Art Criticism in the "Listener", 1946-1951: Postwar British Art in its Context of Ideas, Institutions, and Practice.
Grant Holder: Dr Alan Munton
This project is focused on the entire work of Wyndham Lewis, and pays particular attention to the ideological aspects of his thinking. At the same time it is concerned with those aspects of his work which either have not been explored by Spanish or foreign critics, or have been dealt with in equivocal or politically mediated ways. Since a great deal of Lewis's literary production remains dispersed in hard-to-find periodical publications, above all in the USA and Canada, we shall bring these materials together for study and publication.

project: Online calendar of the correspondence of Charles Darwin
Grant Holder: Dr Alison Pearn
The web resource created through the AHRB-funded initiative `An online calendar of the correspondence of Charles Darwin' and launched in 2002, was based on a revised and updated edition of the printed Calendar to the Correspondence of Charles Darwin: 1821 – 1882 (Cambridge University Press, 1994), but incorporated further substantial additions and corrections. The book summarises every letter that the naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-82) was then known to have sent or received and is a standard reference work for scholars. [read more]
project: Mapping the Practice and Profession of Sculpture in Britain and Ireland 1851-1951
Grant Holder: Professor Alison Yarrington
Mapping the Practice and Profession of Sculpture in Britain and Ireland 1851-1951 is the first comprehensive study of sculptors, related businesses and trades investigated in the context of creative collaborations, art infrastructures, professional networks and cultural geographies. The primary outcome of Mapping Sculpture 1851-1951 will be an open access online database on the GU website with postings of articles analyzing the results of the research. The database launch will coincide with exhibitions in the V&A's Gilbert Bayes Gallery and a collections display at the Henry Moore Institute. [read more]
project: Sharing Ancient Wisdoms (SAWS)
Grant Holder:
The aim of the project is to use new technology to present and analyse the tradition of wisdom literatures in Greek and Arabic. Throughout antiquity and the middle ages collections of wise or useful sayings were created and circulated, as a practical response to the cost and inaccessibility of full texts in a manuscript age; the project will focus on those which collected moral and social advice. The compilation of these collections formed a crucial route by which ideas of reasonable behaviour and good conduct were disseminated over a huge area, and over many centuries. [read more]
project: CESAR IMAGES: a searchable online repository of French theatre images 1600-1800
Grant Holder: Professor Mark Bannister
The primary aim was to produce a single, coherent listing of all known theatre and related performances in France between 1600 and 1800, searchable by date, title, location, genre and by the names of the people involved in whatever capacity. The database was to have an interactive web interface. The second aim was to make the entire structure bi-directional, i.e. to take advantage of the same web interface to permit members of the international scholarly community, after a simple registration procedure, to annotate, comment upon, extend and correct any field in the database.

project: Staging Exile, Migration and Diaspora in Hispanic Theatre and Performance Cultures

Gary Hooper showed why he is so highly rated by manager Neil Lennon by scoring a double for Celtic at Parkhead.
The Northern Irishman confirmed on Friday that the Scottish champions had rejected an offer from Norwich for the 24-year-old English striker.
Hooper slid in an Adam Matthews cross in the second minute for his 19th goal of the season.
Georgios Samaras added a second 10 minutes later, but after Jason Holt pulled a goal back in the 68th minute, Hooper grabbed a third five minutes from time before substitute Lassad Nouioui added a fourth in added time.
Billy McKay's double helped second-placed Inverness cruise to a 3-0 victory against Aberdeen.
Andrew Shinnie opened the scoring for the hosts nine minutes into the second half and McKay wrapped up victory with goals in the 61st and 78th minutes as Caley stayed nine points behind leaders Celtic.
Dundee United showed no ill effects from news of manager Peter Houston's planned departure as Johnny Russell struck a hat-trick to complete a deserved 3-2 comeback win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.
Manuel Pascali gave Kilmarnock the lead against the run of play, but Russell rewarded United's first-half dominance with an excellent finish two minutes before the break.
Russell headed United in front before completing his treble two minutes from time.
Pascali headed a second goal coming in the final seconds but there was no time to push for an equaliser.
Ross County moved 12 points clear of danger at the foot of the table with a 4-1 victory over St Mirren.
Richard Brittain fired the visitors ahead with an excellent 25-yard free-kick and the Highland side passed up numerous opportunities to extend their advantage during the first half.
St Mirren levelled when Steven Thompson rocketed a shot past Mark Brown from just inside the area, but it was to be the highlight of the afternoon for Danny Lennon's side.
Sam Morrow took advantage of a defensive error by David Barron to restore County's lead and Ivan Sproule marked his debut with a late double.
A miserable day for St Mirren was completed when Lewis Guy's late penalty was saved by Brown.
Leigh Griffiths' goal earned Hibernian a point in a 1-1 draw against bottom side Dundee.
John Baird gave the visitors, 13 points adrift at the foot of the table, an eighth-minute lead at Easter Road.
However Griffiths netted four minutes into the second half to earn Pat Fenlon's men a point.

Many years ago, in the time when farmers worked their fields with oxen, and a John Deere tractor in every barn was a thing of fantasy, Pearl S. Buck published The Good Earth, her masterpiece about rural life in China.
