The pepper castor has been in the Alessi catalogue since 1978 and belongs to the historical production. Ettore Sottsass, internationally recognized as one of the initiators of the revolution in design has conceived this pepper castor that has become a classic, a true archetype of restaurant industry and private service, an "essential" objects, with its proportions, lightness and function.
Born in Innsbruck in 1917, he is known the world over as one of the initiators of the revolution in architecture and design which led away from the rigid functionalism of the years prior to and following the Second World War. A great and influential Maestro of Italian design, the energy of his language and the vitality of his colour and line contrast sharply with any intellectualism and rigidity. He dies in December 2007.

Over 1000 Iraqis were killed in July, victims of bombings and shootings marking that country's deadliest month since April of 2008. According to the Washington Times, Iraq is sliding into "chaos" with al Qaeda militants stoking terror. Yet, the three networks provided only scant coverage of the escalating death toll. From July 1 to July 31, the ABC, NBC and CBS evening and morning shows allowed only four minutes and 49 seconds to highlighting the unraveling situation.
In contrast, the networks in 2005 aggressively reported bad news and a pessimistic outlook for the country when a Republican was in the White House. Obviously, there's a difference between the two situations, given the 2011 withdrawal of U.S. troops. However, it seems as though NBC, CBS and ABC have effectively decided that the stability of Iraq is no longer a concern for George W. Bush's Democratic replacement.
ABC provided the least amount of coverage, a mere 28 seconds devoted to the bombings and killings over two segments. On July 29, Good Morning America's Josh Elliott summarized, "But in Iraq this morning, major new concerns about security there. As many as 15 car bombs exploded across the country today. Most of them targeting Shiite Muslims, at least 62 people have died in the attacks. "
On July 21, GMA's Ron Claiborne warned of a "deadly wave of violence." He recounted, "Seven car bombs exploded on busy streets in a Shiite section of Baghdad. At least 46 people were killed."
NBC managed two minutes and one second (or two segments). On the July 31 Nightly News, Brian Williams delivered the "sad headline," recounting, "July has now been the single deadliest month there since '08."
CBS provided the most coverage, although that doesn't say much. The network managed two minutes and 20 seconds over three segments. On the July 29 CBS Evening News, Bob Schieffer recounted the latest "deadly day" and noted, "There's been a surge of violence throughout Iraq. By some accounts close to seven hundred people have died just this month alone."
The situation in Iraq hasn't improved in August. In the last week alone, 85 people have been killed.
In July, over a mere three days, the networks devoted an astounding 187 minutes to the birth of the British royal baby. When ABC, NBC and CBS want to focus time, energy and manpower to a topic, they do it. The chaos and uncontrolled violence in Iraq clearly isn't a priority.
Barack Obama is the President of the United States. His defenders may say that he didn't start the war and with troops gone, it's no longer his problem.
However, if this volatile and strategically located country was important before, it's still relevant now. As the Washington Times's Ashish Kumar Sen reported, the violence "could draw U.S. troops back into Iraq."
Sen noted, "Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has recommended sending U.S. military trainers to help build Iraqi security forces' capabilities."
If journalists covered Iraq fairly, they would seriously cover the violence and its implications, both for America and President Obama.

Sprint launched another one of its commercials yesterday featuring James Earl Jones and Malcolm McDowell using their stentorian "actor!" tones to re-enact the trivial conversations of everyday folks.
This new one is hilarious: In it, the pair repeat a Facebook comments war between a guy trying to sell a concert ticket and a buddy trying to buy it from him:
If you liked that, you'll love this conversation between what seems to be two sorority sisters discussing a "hottie." You should click on it just to hear them say the phrase "totes mcgotes":

Jamie Foxx Will Play Mike Tyson in New Biopic
Mike Tyson is one of the most controversial and bizarre figures to emerge out of the sports world in the past few decades, so it's not surprising that a biopic about his life is finally being made. What is slightly surprising is the amount of talent backing the project. Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx signed on to play the former boxing heavyweight champion, and Terrence Winter, fresh off an Oscar nomination for writing 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' is set to pen the script.
The news comes via Variety, who reports that Foxx's manager Rick Yorn is producing the project.
There's an entire generation of people who only know Tyson as the weirdo with the face tattoo who popped up in the 'Hangover' movies, but before he was a walking joke, he was one of the most terrifying men you could possibly face in the boxing ring. Heck, he was one of the most terrifying men you could possibly face outside of the boxing ring, and his myriad crimes eventually caught up with him and put him in prison for six years. There's plenty of cinematic potential here: one of the most talented boxers in the world ultimately self-destructs and becomes more famous for biting off a chunk of his opponent's ear than actually being a skilled fighter.
This is an interesting role for Foxx, who won an Oscar for another biopic, 'Ray,' nearly a decade ago. It's also not his first brush with a sports movie — he played Mohammad Ali's cornerman in 'Ali' and starred as a professional football player in 'Any Given Sunday.' However, the real key to this project might be Winter, who is perhaps best known as the mastermind of HBO's 'Boardwalk Empire.' Few writers are as skilled as him at creating sympathetic and fascinating lowlifes, so he's the perfect guy to write a movie about Mike Tyson.
The film doesn't have a director or a distributor yet, but this is not the kind of project that slips through the cracks. We'll be hearing more about it soon.

The trailer for Dark Knight Rises recently hit theaters (and websites) and one of the biggest complaints? Bane — played by Tom Hardy — is really hard to understand. Apparently Bane, the villain of the flick, gets his super-strength from a drug that he continuously inhales. (Glue?) In this trailer, you see Tom Hardy with a mask that covers his nose and mouth; his words get slightly muffled. Our brothers and sisters at io9 have a poll, asking folks what Bane sounds like; options include "Grover from Sesame Street" and "every adult from the Charlie Brown cartoons." Judge for yourselves.
Do You Still Love Tom Hardy When You Can't Understand What He's Saying?

Garajonay: a forest that goes back millions of years
Garajonay National Park
Hiking in the Garajonay National Park
Landscape from a viewpoint in Garajonay
- Autonomous region: Canary Islands
- Province/Island: La Gomera
Ecotourism. ECST (European Charter for Sustainable Tourism) accreditation for certain natural areas.
What were the forests like in Europe millions of years ago? If you would like to know, come to the Canary Islands in Spain. You can find out for yourself visiting Garajonay National Park, in the highest part of La Gomera. This area has the UNESCO World Heritage designation, and is the best-conserved example of a unique ecosystem: laurisilva - a real living fossil from the Tertiary period.
A luxuriant, fascinating forest - always green and often covered in mist. This fairy-tale scenery can be found in the Garajonay Nature Reserve, on the Canary Islands. Situated on the central plateau of the the island of La Gomera, at some 1,200 metres above sea level, its appearance contrasts with the arid landscapes of the coast and the lower parts of the island. Besides its unique beauty, with areas that are all but untouched by man, you will also discover that this is an important natural refuge for flora and fauna - here you will find numerous rare and endemic species.
Nevertheless, the Garajonay Park is unusual for another reason: its laurisilva woods are a living relic of the sub-tropical forests that could be found in the Mediterranean area several million years ago, in the Tertiary period. Take your time for a peaceful stroll amongst its trees. This is the best way to really enjoy these unique landscapes, which disappeared from the continents in the Quaternary period. Garajonay is their best remaining example.
How to visit
Thanks to the excellent climate in the Canary Islands, you can visit this National Park at any time of year, although in Spring the area is at its most colourful and beautiful. A good way to get to La Gomera is by boat. There are daily ferry services from Puerto de los Cristianos, in southern Tenerife, to the capital of the island, San Sebastián de La Gomera. The crossing takes approximately 45 minutes. There are also direct flights to La Gomera airport, which is situated close to Santiago Beach, from Gran Canaria and Tenerife. Once you are on the island, access to Garajonay by car or bus is very straightforward - distances are short and there are several roads running through the Park.
The best way to discover Garajonay is on foot. There is a free guided tour service every Saturday. If you are interested you need to book in advance at the Visitor Centre or by telephone, on +34 922800993. If you prefer to go at your own speed, you can use the Park's signposted trails: they run to many different places of interest, and there are also explanatory leaflets available at the Visitor Centre that will help you discover the most important aspects of the park's landscapes, natural values, evolution...
You can also design a tailor-made route using the network of trails to be found within the National Park, which link up with the rest of the island's hiking itineraries. In any case, before getting started we would recommend a visit to the Juego de Bolas Visitor Centre, situated just 3 kilometres from Garajonay, in the village of Agulo. Here you can get information on the Park and the guided tours available, as well as maps, leaflets and books. Furthermore, in the gardens of the Centre there is an interesting array of Canary Islands flora on show.
A visit to Garajonay National Park is an intense encounter with nature that will take you way back in time. An experience you are sure to want to tell your friends about.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 20 diseños de 2 diseñadores freelance.
LeadSloth is my marketing consulting company. It's a 1-person 'boutique' operation providing high-end consulting services. Creating a strong brand is important to me, and so are great designs. For example, take a look at my latest PowerPoint presentation (attached).
I promote my company by providing great content (free). I have a popular blog, I actively use Social Media, I present a webinar every month, and this is the first eBook that I've written. Secretly I hope that one of my eBook or presentations will go viral some time, because currently it's often more work to promote it than to write it.
The target audience are marketing executives at mid-size companies. They appreciate nice design and creativity, but it shouldn't get too crazy. Most people will read the eBook on their computer, but it should also be possible to print it on Letter-size paper.
=== Start of Requirements ===
I like a white, spacious and airy design. Make liberal use of the accent colors, but no orange backgrounds please :-)
Be inspired by the design of the attached PowerPoint presentation. There is no need to make it identical, but it's nice if there is some 'family resemblance'.
"Tip" sidebar on all pages (except on first page). Position can be flexible, but it should look similar on every page. Often there is text with bullets in the sidebar. Make a nice design for the bullets (okay to use some color).
"More Content & Resources" section on the bottom of all pages (except first and last page). I call this the "bottom-bar". Position should be the same on every page. The actual text is specified in the Word document. It should contain a clickable link. Maybe it's possible to have an icon that illustrates that people can click on it, because few people realize that PDFs can be clickable. For now, I've simply added the text "(click here)" but I'm open to better solutions.
Page numbers on every page except front page, location not so important. Please no mirrored design, because this document will be read online.
One image on every page, except the last page. The Word document specifies which image goes on which page. I think the images are high-enough resolution (I bought medium-size at iStock), but let me know if you need a higher-res one.
The company logo is only shown on the first and the last page.
InDesign CS3 or CS4 source file required and a PDF (max 5Mb in size).
Font: Myriad Pro, Gill Sans or something similar.
Because people will mostly read this online, the font and line spacing should be relatively large (as far as space allows).
Color scheme: dark green (RGB 69-91-42), light green (RGB 141-198-63), pale orange (RGB 229-159-55)

Latest News
NBA still can't keep up with Kobe Bryant
I was never a Kobe Bryant fan. He shot too much. Imagine the career Smush Parker (a Los Angeles Laker from 2005 to 2007) could have had if Kobe had shared the ball.
I respect Kobe, though. What he has, he gives. He ruptured his Achilles April 12 against Golden State and limped off the court and into the sunset, or at least into limbo. Recovery usually requires nine months to a year.
Kobe, 35, returned Dec. 9 against Toronto. That's eight months. He'll be at Time Warner Cable Arena Saturday night when his Lakers play the Charlotte Bobcats. The Boston Celtics were in town earlier this season and, except for winning, nothing about the team reminded you of who they were. As long as 24 plays for the Lakers, we'll remember.
The game will be the fifth of Kobe's comeback tour, and the first after playing the previous night. On Friday the Lakers played Oklahoma City, which means Kobe presumably spent part of his evening trying to keep up with Russell Westbrook.
You'll recall that Kobe once was one of us, although we were merely pretending. The Charlotte Hornets selected Kobe with the 13th pick in the 1996 draft. Charlotte, however, had already cut a deal with the Lakers. Los Angeles would send center Vlade Divac to the Hornets and the Hornets would take Kobe for the Lakers.
Charlotte received a genuine center, albeit one who smoked. Los Angeles received a guard who had grown up in Italy and graduated from high school in suburban Philadelphia.
I'm not aware of anybody in Charlotte objecting.
Who would remember if they did? Here's how long ago 1996 was.
On the all-rookie second team were Kobe, Kevin Garnett, Kerry Kittles, Travis Knight and Matt Mahoney.
Keeping Bryant and Garnett off the first team were rookie of the year Allen Iverson, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Marcus Camby, Stephon Marbury and Antoine Walker.
(Two-time MVP Steve Nash also was a rookie. Now a Laker, Nash is injured.)
Kobe has played 18 seasons, scored more than 31,000 points and played in 14 All-Star games.
In a superb Sports Illustrated story Kobe talked about the similarities between him and undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather.
Mayweather, 36, is 18 months older than Kobe. As fast as Mayweather is, he's not as fast as he was. But it's as if he controls time.
He'll throw a few punches at half speed, then three-quarters speed. An opponent will figure, ah, I got him. He can't hit me. When Mayweather throws full speed, it's as if he's a kid again.
Like Mayweather, Kobe has made his living with his intensity and intelligence (except for his reluctance to pass to Smush), as well as his quickness and athleticism.
That quickness and athleticism won't be there all the time. It will be special-occasion quickness now. He'll have to harness it before he unleashes it, the way Mayweather does.
Kobe signed a two-year contract extension last month, and he's too driven to allow his career to become a farewell tour, a once great player on a once great team.
The challenge is compelling. How does Kobe keep up with gifted players 10 and 15 years younger?
Or maybe the challenge is to compel those players to find a way to keep up with him.

AgeIV Study
We are a medical scientific research group, based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Our research group is a part of the University of Amsterdam/Academic Medical Center and CPCD Foundation (Center for Poverty-related Communicable Diseases).
We are starting a study about comorbidity (additional diseases) and aging in HIV-infected patients. This study will start in october 2011.
Approximately 800 HIV-positive patients and 600 HIV-negative individuals (this is the control group) will be enrolled in the study.
They will undergo an extensive testbattery to investigate different organs and organ systems. The test battery includes blood- and urine analysis, lung function test, EKG, bone mineral density scan, length, weight, bloodpressure, memory/cognitive function, depression, quality of life, work participation and several experimental devices such as the AGEreader (measures aging in the skin) and the arteriograph (measures elasticity of the blood vessels). After two years these measurements will be repeated.
The study period will initially be 4 years, but we are hoping to continue the measurements in this cohort for a longer period of time.
Our hypothesis is that HIV-infected people age differently or faster than non-infected people. This is why we chose the study name "AgeIV".
The studylogo for this study will be seen by patients, studyparticipants, physicians, municipal health organisations and HIV-patient associations. The logo will also appear in scientific journals and publications and international conferences.
We like a clean, fresh and professional logo.
As the studyname "AgeIV" is a phonetic pun, it's important that the logo stresses this out.
The red ribbon is the international symbol of AIDS/HIV awareness. It is a possibility to integrate this symbol in the logo but it is not a necessity.
The logo must be appealing to both participants/patients and medical/scientific professionals.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians were willing to try almost anything to end their losing streak.
Cleveland pitchers Corey Kluber and Cody Allen dressed up like chickens during batting practice Friday while standing in the outfield in an attempt to help the team pull out of its six-game losing streak.
The strategy apparently worked.
Michael Brantley homered and drove in three runs, Carlos Santana also homered and the Indians finally broke loose for a 12-5 win over the Chicago White Sox.
Manager Terry Francona wasn't sure who came up with the idea.
"I don't really care," he said. "If we're going to win again, they can all show up and wear chicken outfits."
"I thought it was awesome," first baseman Nick Swisher said. "We've had a lot of stress in here. A nice little laugh here and there definitely loosens the hinges a little bit."
The scene brought back memories of last season when Allen's teammates presented him with a live chicken from a local farm during batting practice.
Cleveland's struggling offense, which scored 13 runs on a 0-6 road trip, had a five-run first inning and added four in the sixth.
"It was a good night offensively for us and we needed it," Francona said.
Brantley hit a leadoff homer in the fifth and added a two-run single in the sixth. Santana hit a solo homer in the second and had an RBI single in the first, while Ryan Raburn and Yan Gomes each drove in two runs.
Although Santana is still batting only .165, he's raised his average 43 points and homered three times in his past four games.
"He's such a good hitter and when he gets hot, it's not just singles," Francona said.
Danny Salazar (1-3) was charged with five runs, three earned, in five innings and earned his first win of the season.
Jose Abreu hit his major-league leading 11th homer in the fifth, but the White Sox couldn't overcome a shaky start by John Danks (2-2), who allowed eight runs in five innings.
"There wasn't a whole lot to take from it," Danks said. "I felt fine, but I'm giving them batter's counts way too often and I'm paying for it."
The Indians placed All-Star second baseman Jason Kipnis on the 15-day disabled list prior to the game with a pulled muscle in his side.
Santana's RBI single, Raburn's two-run double and Gomes' two-run single highlighted Cleveland's first inning. The fast start was enough to hold off the hard-hitting White Sox, who lead the AL in runs scored but have lost three in a row.
Abreu struck out against Salazar in his first two at-bats, but homered to left on a 3-2 pitch in the fifth. The rookie sensation also leads the league with 33 RBIs.
Salazar worked out of a bases-loaded, no-outs jam in the fourth.
"I was competing every pitch," Salazar said. "It felt good to not let them score."
The right-hander struck out six and won for the first time since Sept. 25 of last season, also against Chicago.
Kipnis' absence hurt the Indians immediately as his replacement, Elliot Johnson, committed two errors. Both of the miscues came on dropped throws on potential force plays. The first came in Chicago's three-run second inning. The second helped the White Sox load the bases in the fourth.
The White Sox scored three times in the second on singles by Alejandro De Aza and Adrian Nieto and a passed ball by Gomes.
Alexei Ramirez, the AL's leading hitter, was 2 for 4 and is batting .356. Dayan Viciedo, the third-leading hitter in the league, was hitless in three at-bats and is batting .337.
NOTES: Kipnis is expected to miss three to five weeks. ... White Sox OF Adam Eaton left with a strained right hamstring in the fourth after hitting into a double play. He said after the game he might have to go on the DL. ... White Sox LHP Chris Sale (left flexor strain) played catch before the game, but will not be activated off the 15-day disabled list when he becomes eligible Saturday. The two-time All-Star will play long toss Monday in Chicago. ... Indians RHP Justin Masterson (0-1) looks for his first win in his seventh start against RHP Scott Carroll (1-0) Saturday.

*** (out of four)
Other than a major influx of action and Kal-El's/Superman's mom giving birth, "Man of Steel" opens much like 1978's "Superman." Kal-El's father Jor-El (Russell Crowe) dismisses evil General Zod (Michael Shannon) and insists that newborn Kal-El depart for Earth before Krypton somewhat beautifully explodes. So a cute baby goes into an adult-sized pod that looks oddly like male genitalia and, elsewhere in the universe, a very special, human-looking alien arrives in Smallville, Kan.
Fortunately, this delayed take on the DC Comics superhero from director Zack Snyder ("Watchmen") and writer David S. Goyer (the "Dark Knight" trilogy), who conceived the story with Christopher Nolan, brings excitement and weight in the wake of the overly hated 2006 reboot "Superman Returns." In "Man of Steel," Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane (Amy Adams) meets 33-year-old Clark Kent (Henry Cavill of "Immortals") when the buff mystery man, who looks like an extra from Snyder's "300," saves her life. She doesn't know who he is exactly, but she wouldn't be confused if he put on glasses.
That's the appropriate way to handle their dynamic. Otherwise, the film would counteract Jor-El's belief that Earth contains "a seemingly intelligent population."
Cavill and Adams didn't have much time to bond before shooting, but they nail it. He's sturdy but tormented; she's tough and feisty without really trying to hide her interest in Clark—I mean, in unraveling his story. Understandably wanting to go a different route than Terrence Stamp's confident, classic turn as Zod, Shannon registers menace—particularly when his eyes bug as he screams, "I will find him!," determined to track down Kal-El wherever and however long it takes—without asking anyone to kneel before him. Admittedly, though, the Oscar nominee ("Revolutionary Road") was more memorable reading that epic sorority letter for "Funny or Die."
At times, "Man of Steel" bogs down with blunt statements about what the world can and can't handle. That's pretty much all Clark's adopted father (Kevin Costner) tells him before tangling with a tornado to ensure the town doesn't know his son's strength.
The film's flying sequences do look awesome, but it goes overboard with its endless climactic sequence. I know some of "Steel" was shot in Chicago, Mr. Snyder, but you don't have to compete with "Transformers: Dark of the Moon." Superman and Zod don't have to crash through every building in Metropolis.
The movie connects as an American story of heroism anyway. Humans buckle in and confront the worst. Superman embraces his role by searching for his identity, rather than grumbling about his paradoxical responsibilities: Save the public, but don't let them know what you can do.
He's one of the original selfless studs, the fallible but fearless protector. Even non-comic book fans can easily look at someone like that with awe.

Dear forumers,
I've been painting French troops for decade and I realize that I've never deepened the question of the most correct blue to use. Some years ago Master Color produced a specific colour defined French blue but I frankly can't remember whether it was really adequate. Perhaps the question has already been dealt with in the Forum in the past.
Have you got any suggestion on such a subject?
Thanks. Giovanni.

Last Friday, 26-year-old Internet activist Aaron Swartz committed suicide.
He had suffered depression for a long time, and he was in the middle of a stressful trial for illegally obtaining millions of documents in 2011.
Many of Swartz' family and friends feel the government was too harsh on Aaron, which drove him to his death. Swartz's father went so far as to say his son was "killed by the government."
The statement fired shots at Carmen Ortiz and Stephen Heymann, who were leading the charge on Swartz' prosecution.
This morning, Ortiz issued a statement:
As a parent and a sister, I can only imagine the pain felt by the family and friends of Aaron Swartz, and I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy to everyone who knew and loved this young man. I know that there is little I can say to abate the anger felt by those who believe that this office's prosecution of Mr. Swartz was unwarranted and somehow led to the tragic result of him taking his own life.
I must, however, make clear that this office's conduct was appropriate in bringing and handling this case. The career prosecutors handling this matter took on the difficult task of enforcing a law they had taken an oath to uphold, and did so reasonably. The prosecutors recognized that there was no evidence against Mr. Swartz indicating that he committed his acts for personal financial gain, and they recognized that his conduct – while a violation of the law – did not warrant the severe punishments authorized by Congress and called for by the Sentencing Guidelines in appropriate cases. That is why in the discussions with his counsel about a resolution of the case this office sought an appropriate sentence that matched the alleged conduct – a sentence that we would recommend to the judge of six months in a low security setting. While at the same time, his defense counsel would have been free to recommend a sentence of probation. Ultimately, any sentence imposed would have been up to the judge. At no time did this office ever seek – or ever tell Mr. Swartz's attorneys that it intended to seek – maximum penalties under the law.
As federal prosecutors, our mission includes protecting the use of computers and the Internet by enforcing the law as fairly and responsibly as possible. We strive to do our best to fulfill this mission every day.

Obama Asks for Prayer on Budget Deal
(BANGKOK, Thailand) -- Taking a break from deficit negotiations for a whirlwind tour of Southeast Asia, President Obama joked Sunday afternoon as he toured a sacred Buddhist temple that he could use some prayer to help reach a budget deal.
"We're working on this budget, we're going to need a lot of prayer for that," the president told a monk at the Wat Pho Royal Monastery.
The president later explained the quip at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. "I always believe in prayer," he said. "If a Buddhist monk is wishing me well, I'm going to take whatever good vibes he can give me to try to deal with some challenges back home."
Shortly after arriving in Bangkok, Obama, accompanied by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, toured the Viharn of the Reclining Buddha, one of the most famous sites in Thailand, and the Eastern Viharn Phra.
Obama and Clinton talked softly with the robed monk as they walked, shoe-less, through the holy temple.
Continuing their private tour through an ornate courtyard known as the Phra Maha Chedi Group Clinton remarked "what a peaceful place" it was.
"If you have 80,000 people here it's not so peaceful," the president noted. "This is kind of a treat."
The president also met and exchanged gifts with ailing King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The president greeted the 84-year-old king at the Siriraj hospital, where he has lived since 2009.
"It's a great honor to meet with you," Obama said. "Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. We send greetings from all the people of the United States who are so grateful for the friendship of our two countries and are great admirers of yours – your wisdom and your leadership."
The king gave Obama several gifts including one for the First Lady. "Oh, thank you, Michelle, my wife [will] appreciate it," Obama said.
"She'll look very good in that color, Mr. President," Clinton remarked.
In return, the president gave the king a photo album with pictures of all the U.S. presidents and first ladies he has met, starting with Dwight Eisenhower and continuing through George W Bush.
"We left the last page blank," Obama said, so they could add a photo of themselves.

Cape Otway Ocean Lodge
We provide bunk-house style accommodation for school camps, bush-walking clubs and lovers of the great Australian outdoors. Our location is amazing. We're at Cape Otway which is on the southern coast of Victoria, Australia. We're surrounded by Great Otway National Park and have views of the iconic Cape Otway Lightstation and its lighthouse circa 1848. Within walking distance of our 100 acre property we have pristine beaches, classic Australian bushland, towering sea cliffs, river inlets and abundant European, Aboriginal and natural history. So, we're a great base for a great variety of outdoor adventures.
Our company is small, we offer a personalised service and have more than 50 years of local knowledge. Groups can self cater, or we cater for them. We are a disability friendly business.
Our target audience includes schools, outdoor education specialists, guided walking tour companies, bushwalking groups, four wheel-driving groups, naturalist societies.
Our most important existing markets are school camps and bushwalkers.
We can cater for up to 48 people at a time, so we're only interested in group bookings.
The logo and typography should convey the great Australian outdoors, adventure, outdoor education and the bushland setting.
The property is flanked by the Great Otway National Park & includes views of the lighthouse. The area is renowned for its populations of koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, sugar gliders, and birdlife - including blue winged parrots, wedge tail eagles, and crimson rosellas. It would be good for there to be some reflection of the natural setting and local wildlife.
The design should combine a logo with the acronym COOL and the words "Cape Otway Ocean Lodge" and laid out so that two versions can be used:
- the logo with just the COOL acronym
- the logo with the COOL acronym and the "Cape Otway Ocean Lodge" brand name
The fonts used should be readily available on the web.
The colours should be of earthy tones to reflect the natural colours of the deep blue southern ocean and the grey-greens of the eucalypts.
The logo must be effective when used in black & white, effective at small sizes (e.g. for use on business cards or clothing tags) and is to be supplied in AI, EPS, SVG, JPEG and PNG formats (on transparent background).
See http://www.capeotwayoceanlodge.com for more details but do not base the logo on the current website style. See also http://www.greatoceanmedia.com.au/gallery/ for some up-to-date shots of the Lodge and also the nearby lighthouse.

It could get ugly when the Egyptian and Tunisian football teams battle Sunday for a spot in the Sidney 2000 Olympics.
A win in Tunisia means Egypt players can book their plan tickets to Australia this summer. Al Ahram daily reports that the Egyptian squad gathered yesterday for a brief training session in Cairo before this vital game. The team's technical managers, however, were concerned that some of their key players missed this session. Hani Saeed, for examples, who plays in Switzerland is still waiting for his club's approval to join his mates in Cairo. Muhammad Abu al Ala, Zamalek star, left with his club to a tour in Dubai. His participation in the match on Sunday is doubtful.
In fact, the issues of the national football players are creating a storm in the Egyptian football league as many feel the players have too many responsibilities. Besides the regular league, for example, some Egyptian clubs are involved in the African club championships. The upcoming game in Tunisia puts more pressure on these players.

PA City Council Candidate Facing Past Convictions; Abuse Claims
A May-December romance that went on for somewhere between three to six years depending on who you ask has turned sour and now a Port Arthur City Council candidate is defending himself against a former girlfriend's accusations while past criminal convictions are brought to light.
Carroll "Cal" Jones, 61, is a lifelong Port Arthur resident and is running for the District 2 City Council seat currently occupied by Elizabeth "Liz" Segler, who is running for re-election. This is the second consecutive city council race for Jones, who was narrowly defeated by Segler in 2008 after he served the district for eight months when former councilman Felix Barber stepped down to concentrate on the mayoral race. Barker passed away in July 2008 after losing the mayoral race to Bobbie Prince.
Jones said his former girlfriend, Latonya Cheatham Ellas, 29, is acting purely out of revenge and is trying to sully his name. "We dated at one time, and the relationship went bad," Jones said. "She's just trying to do everything she can to destroy me."
Ellas contends she's not trying to destroy Jones, but rather bring his past exploits to light.
"I don't have any hard feelings, per se, towards Cal, or vengeance towards him, I just feel like Cal has been getting away with a lot of stuff," Ellas said, adding that the final straw for her came last month when she alleges that Jones vandalized her BMW, which of course Jones steadfastly denies.
Ellas, who lives in Beaumont, filed a police report alleging stalking and criminal mischief last February and is adamant that Jones is the culprit. Jones denied involvement and said that he was letting the Beaumont Police work their investigation, which would exonerate him of any wrong doing. Det. Eddie Shehane, the lead investigator on the case, could not be reached for comment.
Past Transgressions
Jones said he was taken aback by the sudden spotlight on his past history, but it's a history that he takes responsibility for and says that the constituents he's served before in District 2 know the real person he is and he says he's ready to serve them again.
But not before explaining a 1971 case in which he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon in which he shot at Terry Lewis Fentroy, who took a bullet in his side after it ricocheted off a wall.
Jones avoided jail time and served two years of probation before he was granted a new trial under a Texas statute that allowed for his conviction to be thrown out, and on March 23, 1973, Jones' felony conviction was dismissed.
"That happened forty years ago when I was 21, and it's all been dropped," Jones said. "I don't know who brought that up and why it's being brought up. I ran in '08 and this didn't pop up."
Jones maintains that the shooting was accidental, and so does the victim, Fentroy, an assistant pastor at New St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Port Arthur, and the two remain friends to this day.
"The fact is, the shooting happened, but the truth is, it wasn't intentional," Fentroy said. "We've been friends relatively all our lives. The gun was discharged and the bullet ricocheted off the wall, and it went in my side and I'm still carrying it to this day."
In addition to the assault conviction, Jones was charged with possession of a controlled substance in 1980 and in 1983 he was hit with a charge of driving with a suspended license. Both cases were misdemeanors, and in the case of the possession charge, he was hit with a $75 fine and he had the suspended license violation deferred.
"I had some diet pills that I didn't have a prescription for, that's all," Jones said of the possession charge.
Perhaps the most damning of all the previous charges brought to light against Jones is the temporary restraining order his ex-wife, Lena Jones, filed against him in October of 2001. According to a witness affidavit attached to the restraining order, Lena Jones alleges that Cal Jones was "physically, emotionally and verbally abusive" to her during their entire 28 years of marriage. Lena goes on to say that she repeatedly called police, but that "nothing was done to him" and he told her not to bother because "he knew people in power" and she was just "spinning her wheels."
Lena also alleges that Cal once "bit, strangled, pulled her hair and restrained her against her will." Jones admits that he and his ex-wife had problems, but is vehement that the problems never led to physical violence and that he was never served with a restraining order.
"That didn't come from my ex-wife, that came from LaTonya Cheatham," Jones said. Although when confronted with the date of the restraining order, signed Oct. 5, 2001, Jones reiterated that he wasn't aware of a restraining order.
"I don't know where that came from, I was never served or saw a restraining order," Jones said. "If it was filed, it never got to me. Wherever that came from, I have no idea."
"I never beat up my wife," he said.
Fentroy said this attack on Cal Jones in unwarranted and unnecessary.
"I'm coming forward because I don't want to see these people destroy this man's good name. He's a man of character, and I would endorse him, because I know his character and I know his background. I just want to stand up for the truth," Fentroy said. "He's an honest man, and it's time to get some men of honor in the city office so the people can stop being deceived and I think Cal will make an excellent city councilman."
Moving Towards Election Day
With the May 14 election quickly approaching, Jones, a disabled veteran who is currently unemployed after 28 years as a car salesman, said he isn't focused on the negativity but rather on the election and working for the people of Port Arthur.
He said his previous experience as a councilman is invaluable and he's going to take what he learned in those eight months and put that experience to work as he continues to fundraise.
"I did more in eight months than my opponent has done in three years," Jones said of Segler. "I'm determined to work for my constituents, all day and all night, 24/7. I'm concerned about my city, I'm concerned about what's going on in my district. I'm hungry to work for the people. The people are oppressed, depressed… They want some help. They need somebody that's going to be there for them and Cal Jones will be there for them."
Despite Jones explanations for what he's done, Ellas, who alleges that Jones physically assaulted her at times during their relationship, is skeptical of Jones' ambition towards helping the citizens of Port Arthur and questions what his true motives are.
"Because of his criminal history, he is not the person of ethics that is going to bring security to Port Arthur," Ellas said. "He doesn't posses the necessary qualifications to even be on the ballot. You look at Liz Segler's profile; you're not going to see what you see on Cal's record. You won't see that on anyone else's profile. This is just something for Cal to boast about and he's not worried about the people of Port Arthur."

Big Fish Facebook App
We are a small group that is building a Facebook app called Big Fish.
We are using this design contest to qualify designers for helping us with many other graphics that we will require for the app. So, consequently, this contest could lead to a significant amount of work in the next couple of months for whoever wins it.
Apologies for the initial low prize. We have increased from $100 - $300
Our Facebook app targets American high school students ( ages 14 - 18 ).
Basically, the app will be a place where they can list their academic, artistic, athletic and other school-related achievements. We will score their achievements and then give them a series of rankings so they can know how they compare against all participating students in their school, region, state or even in the whole country.
Our app will appeal to students' natural pride in their accomplishments and will have the feel of a game. In addition, our app will provide opportunities for these students to be introduced to some of the best colleges and universities in the US as well as scholarships that they can use to pay for their higher education.
Another way of thinking of Big Fish is kind of like a combination between a Facebook game such as Farmville and a resume-based social networking site such as LinkedIn.
We are looking for a title page graphic. This will be the first thing that many people see about our Facebook App.
1) It should be 760 pixels wide and 730 pixels high.
2) It should have a border around the outside
3) It should be "cartoony" much like the graphics that Farmville and Frontierville use.
4) It should have the following elements:
(I will also share these in an attached image)
A) a BigFish logo in the upper left hand corner (We don't have this - you will need to design this)
B) a pond-life background
C) a university don in the upper right hand corner who is fishing with a fishing pole and attempting to catch a fish in the lower left hand corner
D) a verbal description of the BigFish 3 step process in the center of the graphic
E) a "Start Now" button in the lower right hand corner

"Podcast" is the Brand Spanking New Song From Colin Gawel/
Hey guys, I know it has been a little quiet on the new music front for a while but it is not for a lack of effort. Music, or more specifically, rock n roll music is, always my top priority. While I haven't released anything new since the last Watershed record, Brick and Mortar, I have stockpiled a number tunes and with any luck I hope to bang out something new every three or four months for your listening pleasure from this point forward.
Why the delay? Well to be honest, the whole "Hitless Wonder/Brick and Mortar" Record/Book/Tour drained my batteries pretty low and then I got the bright idea to start Pencilstorm.com which while a labor of love, takes a slug of my daily creative juice as well. And then there was the whole "Why Isn't Cheap Trick in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame? project. Oh, and I am a Dad, Husband, and coffee shop owner as well.
But throughout all of it, I learned some basic garage band skills which allows me to work on a song while drinking beer in my kitchen. Eventually, I take that song to a real studio where real musicians help out and Mike Landolt sprinkles magic pixie dust all over it making it sound kick ass.
"Wait a second, "Podcast" was recorded in your kitchen on garage band? But it sounds so good?"
That is correct. A good lesson for all you DIYs' why getting a pro like Mike Landolt involved can make all the difference in the world..
Or to sum up my latest three step recording strategy:
1) I dick around with a song on Garage band in my kitchen while drinking beer.
2) I take tracks to Curryhouse so Rick Kinsinger and myself can dick around with the song.
3) Mike Landolt mixes the song and it sounds like a million bucks.
Speaking of a million bucks, while I am not hardcore about making people pay for new music, it is worth mentioning that there is a cost involved for all of this so any $$ is always appreciated though not expected. Bandcamp allows you to name your own price so it's up to you to decide. More importantly, If you dig, I need you to actively help spread the word. You know, share/tweet that shit around yo?

The attention-catching mounds of dirt at Island Transit headquarters south of Coupeville will eventually come down.
Those large mounds will be knocked down and the material used for new landscaping around the agency's new headquarters off Highway 20.
"We're going to re-use it," said Martha Rose, Island Transit's executive director, about the mounds of dirt from construction. The mounds are covered to prevent unwanted weeds from sprouting and they will be used for berms and that will help shield the administrative building, maintenance building, large parking lot and fueling center from motorists driving on the highway.
Island Transit's headquarters is located within the confines of Ebey's Landing National Historic Reserve. Rose said Island Transit staff worked closely with the National Park Service to come up with a suitable design. The buildings will look like large barns and the campus has been designed with a theme that Rose describes as a "melodic fog."
The plans for the new Island Transit headquarters were approved by the county's Historic Review Committee, Rose said.
Workers are currently constructing a 15,000-square-foot administration and operations center that will include offices, training area, a dispatch center and room for information technology. Construction is also under way for a maintenance building with 12 bus bays.
Island Transit has been in its current headquarters building since the 1980s. The building has become cramped and the maintenance area isn't large enough for the agency's ever-expanding fleet.
Transit officials have been trying for years to build a new headquarters. Plans were stalled until Island Transit received $17.92 million awarded by the Federal Transit Authority's "State of Good Repair" program. Everson-based Tiger Construction is building the facility. Construction began in April and is scheduled to wrap up in summer of 2013.
Rose said the project is currently on time and on budget.
One question that remains is how the agency's secondary access will be incorporated into surrounding roads.
Martha Rose said plans were originally in place to close the intersections of Parker Road and Old Smith Prairie Road with Highway 20. The agency would build a new road between the two intersections. Plans changed, however, when nearby residents voiced concerns about the safety of the new intersection. The Washington State Department of Transportation is currently looking at options for the area. A public meeting will take place to inform residents about the options, but that meeting hasn't been scheduled.
Rose said the secondary access is a requirement Island Transit has to meet for its occupancy permit from Island County.
Once the new campus is built and staff have moved in, the current metal headquarters building, which Rose said was built in the 1970s, will be demolished. It's most famous for having a single restroom. That demolition is something Rose is looking forward to. She gets to take the first swing with the wrecking ball, she said.

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's vice president hit out at the country's business leaders on Saturday, saying they were seeking to destabilize the nation while cancer-stricken President Hugo Chavez fights to recover from surgery.
Chavez has not been seen in public nor heard from in five weeks since his latest operation in Cuba, and his heir apparent Nicolas Maduro has taken on an increasingly visible role as the face of the government.
Accused by the opposition of presiding over a troubled economy afflicted by 20 percent inflation and shortages that the authorities blame on hoarders, Maduro rejects the charges as part of a malicious campaign against Chavez's leftist project.
The main private sector chamber, Fedecamaras, complained last week about the "urgent need" to address growing economic imbalances that it said were caused by insecurity, instability and misguided policies. That provoked a stern response.
"It takes your breath away, the hate they have for the Venezuelan people," Maduro said during a televised tour of a market selling state-subsidized food.
"Get lost, Fedecamaras! Here we have a revolutionary government that is going to continue pursuing hoarders, as well as the badness, intrigue and lies which you represent ... there is a psychological war to demoralize and confuse our people."
In Chavez's absence, former bus driver-turned-foreign minister Maduro has increasingly swapped his business suits for the casual tracksuits favored by his boss. But he has struggled to replicate the president's powerful folksy charisma.
For his latest Chavez-like state TV appearance, he adopted something of a greengrocer's manner at the open-air market in Carabobo state, inspecting pastries, holding aloft vegetables and remarking on the freshness of fish.
"Just in today ... so tasty, we only have this quality for you!" Maduro told a crowd of shoppers, many of whom wore red Socialist Party T-shirts and chanted: "We are Chavez!", "The people are with you!" and "(The opposition) won't return!"
Major policy decisions appear to be on hold while Chavez, 58, battles to return after his fourth cancer operation in just 18 months. That includes the question of a devaluation of the bolivar currency that local economists say is long overdue.
A devaluation would increase state revenue from oil sales, but would also push up prices. In late 2011, Chavez's government extended controls that regulate prices of products ranging from meat to deodorant, while fixing profit margins.
That kept a lid on prices during 2012 despite blow-out government spending on popular welfare programs that helped Chavez win a new presidential term at an election in October, and helped Socialist Party candidates triumph in 20 of the country's 23 states at a gubernatorial vote in December.
A devaluation would also slow capital flight, and would ensure merchants have dollars to import basic products such as wheat flour that have disappeared sporadically in recent weeks.
Barclays Capital, which expects a devaluation of about 40 percent, said if the government planned to hold a new presidential election within three months, officials would probably postpone the adjustment in order to put off taking the political hit.
But if elections were planned for the second half of 2013, it said, it expected a rate change sooner rather than later.
Officials say Chavez's condition is improving but delicate and he suffered multiple complications after the December 11 surgery for a cancer first detected in his pelvic area in mid-2011.
Many Venezuelans suspect, however, that the socialist leader's extraordinary 14-year rule could be coming to an end.
Allies insist Chavez remains in charge and is giving orders from his hospital bed, though that infuriates the opposition who fume that the country's capital has been moved to Havana.
Opposition leaders are increasingly critical of what they say is a policy paralysis that has been caused by a reluctance among top officials to make decisions in Chavez's absence.
Outside a shopping mall in one wealthy Caracas neighborhood on Saturday, a clean-cut opposition activist asked a largely sportswear-clad crowd if they had had problems with shortages.
"Who couldn't find sugar this week? Who went from shop to shop looking for meat or chicken?" he asked, as most people put up their hands. "Things are much worse in the countryside."
If Chavez were to step down or die, a new election would be called within 30 days with Maduro as the ruling party candidate.
Surrounded by tables laden with produce in Carabobo, the vice president introduced the country representative of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, Marcelo Resende de Souza, who noted that there are 800 million hungry people in the world.
"But none of them are Venezuelan, because there is food security here!" he said, as Maduro nodded and the crowd cheered.
As time passes with no word from the normally garrulous Chavez, Maduro and other senior officials have been demanding critics respect the president's health and his family, while hoping he will be well enough to return home soon.
Information Minister Ernesto Villegas told a local TV channel he was reminded of the dramatic events of 2002, when Chavez returned after being briefly toppled in a coup.
"It can happen like that again," Villegas said. "It upsets some people, but President Chavez is alive and fighting."

After UAW Loss in Chattanooga, Unions Try to Regroup
Labor Officials Vow to Strengthen and Mobilize Allies in Southern States
Organized-labor officials reeling over Friday's defeat of a union-organizing vote by auto workers in Tennessee are vowing to fight back in part by strengthening and mobilizing allies in Southern states.
The vote, in which workers at a Volkswagen AG plant in Chattanooga rejected the United Auto Workers 712-626, is a setback to organized labor in a region that unions see as key to their growth. It also is seen as a bitter defeat because VW itself didn't oppose the union, and if the drive were successful, it could have built...

June is National Aphasia Awareness Month and this year's host group is the Big Sky Aphasia Program in Missoula, Montana. This year's theme is "It's Never Too Late To Communicate" and the National Aphasia Association (NAA) is encouraging professionals, consumers, community support groups and aphasia centers nationwide to raise public awareness about aphasia in June and has a poster and resource packet available.
Thanks to Senator Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) and Senator Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) for, once again, co-sponsoring the resolution to proclaim June as National Aphasia Awareness Month! You can find the resolution here.
This year we launched a month-long social media contest to help the public understand aphasia and how to communicate with people who have aphasia. We are proud to introduce our new social media intern, Laura Cobb, whose first assignment is serving as spokesperson for the Aphasia Awareness Month contest. Laura is 27 years old and lives in St, Louis, Mo.. In September 2008 she was a student at Washington University majoring in psychology and hoping to work in the field of autism when her car was struck by a drunk driver as she returned home from studying. Laura suffered a stroke resulting in aphasia along with other injuries including a partial hearing loss for which she wears bilateral hearing aids.With intensive speech services, Laura has been able to regain a good portion of her ability to communicate. She continues to receive speech and language treatment and continues to improve. We first met Laura when she created her own video for You Tube on "How to Talk to Someone with Aphasia." Her video has received more than 200,000 views to date and she was interviewed for an article in the Huffington Post.
"I'm excited to work with the NAA now," says Laura in the first of her weekly video clips discussing the NAA's contest, which encourages people to post about aphasia on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube using the hashtag #AphasiaAwarenessMonth. Each week, participants are tasked with a different challenge. For example, in week one, people were asked to answer the question "What is aphasia?" In week two, participants shared their tips for communicating with people with aphasia and in week three they posted pictures of themselves with the June poster. Click here to learn about this week's challenge.
"It's never too late to communicate. So, we want your tips. My favorite tip: speak s-l-o-w-l-y," says Laura. At the end of each week, a winner will be selected randomly and awarded a series of aphasia-related prizes; then a new weekly challenge will be announced. At the end of the five-week contest, the top prize, an iPad Mini, will be awarded on June 27. There is no cost to participate. The more people post using #AphasiaAwarenessMonth, the more chances they have to win and the more we can raise awareness of aphasia!
But that's not all you can do. Here are some other suggestions as to how you can celebrate National Aphasia Awareness Month in June:
- Provide training at local hospitals, clinics, senior citizens centers, nursing homes, etc.
- Send packets of information to doctors and other professionals and staff who work with aphasia (e.g. physical therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, nurses). Training for these groups would be very helpful in dealing with the communication difficulties.
- Provide training workshops and support groups for family and caregivers.
- Provide workshops for local religious groups – many of these have existing programs for helping people in the community.
- Display posters and disseminate materials in local shopping centers, libraries and supermarkets about aphasia.
- Set up an information table to educate employees, patients and families about aphasia.
- Get your city/town to pass a resolution proclaiming June as National Aphasia Awareness Month- we can provide you with the template.
Remember, aphasia advocacy and increasing awareness is a year round activity so join the effort! For more information or to receive your Aphasia Awareness Month packet, contact the NAA's Response Center at 800-922-4622 or visit the NAA website.

Had he not wound up taking a job with CBS Sports, Bart Scott was a candidate to spend next season in Cleveland.
USA Today's Tom Pelissero reported Monday that the free-agent inside linebacker had workouts set up with multiple teams before taking "The NFL Today" gig. The Browns "wanted him badly," Pelissero was told, but Scott's lingering toe injury prevented any serious movement on a deal.
Scott played under coach Mike Pettine for 11 years with the Ravens and Jets, but missed all of last season after playing through a torn toe ligament with Gang Green in 2012.
He lost his speed years ago, but Scott would have given Pettine a player who knows his defensive scheme from top to bottom.
It's an indication that Cleveland might spend some of its enormous salary cap room on former Pettine pupils. We know the Browns are interested in one of those players, Jairus Byrd, but the Bills safety isn't expected to hit the open market with Buffalo planning to slap the franchise tag on the defender if they can't strike a new deal.

The Union County product got an earful from head coach Tim Wallace after a poor outing in March, and he's been lights-out ever since.
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- Spartanburg Methodist baseball coach Tim Wallace popped out of the dugout and made a brisk walk to the mound, where Dylan Rogers already had his head down.
This was no pep talk or social call.
Eight hits and six runs. Rogers wasn't going to be able to finish the fourth inning.
"I told him it was about time for him to grow up," Wallace said. "And he did."
Rogers, a freshman right-hander from Union County High School, has grown up to the point where he will take the mound at 5 this afternoon for No. 1-ranked SMC in its opening game of the junior college World Series against Walters State at Suplizio Field.
It was almost three weeks after that mid-March meltdown that Rogers even went to the mound again. But once he did, he was terrific.
Three straight near-perfect relief appearances, earning the victory in each, got him back in a starter's role. Rogers took a 16-inning scoreless streak into the NJCAA Eastern District finals in Keyser, W.Va., where he put SMC on the verge of a second straight World Series berth by going 6 2/3 innings and striking out eight while allowing seven hits and the first two runs in two months.
Rogers is now 6-1 with a 2.57 ERA. His numbers since the grow-up suggestion are borderline ridiculous. In 23 innings, he is 5-0 with a 0.78 ERA with more strikeouts (20) than hits allowed (17).
The reason for his success?
"The slider," Rogers said. "That's really what it was. It was just the slider. It came around. Nobody has been able to hit it. I don't know why."
His slider, a ball that breaks so late that batters usually think it's a fastball, also was his ticket to South Carolina. Rogers has verbally committed to the Gamecocks and will go there after one more season at SMC.
"Dylan has a swing-and-miss slider," Wallace said. "That's what got Carolina's attention. It was great in the fall, but when he went home for Christmas, I don't think he did what he had mapped out to do. When he came back, he wasn't throwing as well. The slider wasn't what it had been."
Rogers doesn't dispute that.
"I fell behind because I wasn't working as hard as I need to work," he said. (Pitching coach Matt Williams) told me I'd have to earn my spot. He didn't like the way I was pitching."
Williams and Rogers have had their differences about that slider. Williams thinks Rogers falls in love with it too much. Rogers says, "What's not to love?"
And now Rogers is the only pitcher who calls his own game. He decides what to throw and where to throw it.
"We had a little disagreement earlier in the season and went back and forth on it," Rogers said. "He told me he would let me give it a try. I was successful and so he just let me keep doing it."
As the slider drops, the stock rises.
"I told the South Carolina coaches last fall that Dylan was going to be a weekend guy for us. He fell out of that option real quick," Wallace said. "But when you sit there and watch other people pitch instead of you, that's a pretty good motivator. His last outings have been dominant."
Rogers, with his quiet demeanor and laid-back style, doesn't seem nervous at all about being SMC's opening pitcher in the World Series.
"I'm ready for it," he said. "Coming from a town like Union, you dream about being on a big stage like this.

Brass monkey weather
Passing cars have splashed water onto the surrounding bushes creating this fantastic natural icicle sculpture.
It's not clear at what temperature the above mentioned brass castings will suffer brittle metal fatigue and fracture, but I'm willing to bet it's cold enough.

But the advantage of the weather is that you are taking some wonderful photos (as usual)! Great ones the other day of scenes in the mist.ReplyDelete
Love that second photo. Never seen anything like that before.ReplyDelete
In 1991 we had a particularly cold February-at the neaps the shallow bays around the edges of Poole Harbour froze solid. When the springs came the following week they lifted huge sheets of ice from the bays on the flood and carried them out of the harbour with the ebb. It was the only occasion in 24 years on the Pilot Boat that I ever had to dodge ice floes!ReplyDelete

so I am going to tell her.
my web blog mdbr.net
Brass monkeys - to what monkeys are you referring?ReplyDeleteReplies
The monkey was a frame which cannonballs were stacked upon on warships. It was made of brass so the balls didn't rust solid onto it.Delete
Due to differing coefficients of expansion between brass and iron it was suggested very cold temperatures could affect the stability of the stack.
In which case it would be cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey
Nice try Unknown the frame would need to be a couple of miles long for differences in the expansion rates of the two metals to have that kind of effect.ReplyDelete
