Castro's Quest
The Savior knocked out 3 hits including his 9th home run last year and is up to 190 hits. That's 10 hits shy of the magic 200 mark for the math impaired. He has 15 games to do it, which I don't believe will be a problem unless Q-Ball decides he needs another life lesson on the bench. By my back of the envelope calculations, if he stays healthy, he's on pace to reach 3,000 hits by age 36, sometime during the 2026 season.
No pressure.
- Baseball America took to some list making and recently rated the Cubs 2005 draft as the worst of the lot. A look at the 2006 draft, the first under Tim Wilken sees them moving up 5 spots.
$11.5 million investment in Tyler Colvin (1), Jeff Samardzija (5) has yet to pay off.
That year the Cubs lost their 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks by signing Bob Howry (Type A), Scott Eyre (Type A) and Jacque Jones (Type B). Their 1st round pick was protected since it was in the top half of the draft. Other notable (notorious?) picks from that draft were Steve Clevenger, Jacob Renshaw (traded to Orioles for Trachsel), Chris Huseby ($1.3M bonus, released by Boston in August), Marcus Hatley, Matt Camp and Blake Parker.
- I've been trying to put together useful draft lists over at Wiklifield and have roughly gotten through 2009-2011. I think the 2009 one has some nifty information. You can now see bonus info that I can track down plus where the prospects are now. There's also a partial Cubs Draft Bonuses list that has started to come together. As I get more information inputted, the more it will fill out.
- Baseball Prospectus now has normalized sortabe minor league stats, although I'd prefer they defaulted to TAV rather than BWARP, cause who the hell would trust minor league fielding stats?
- According to Shawon Dunston Jr. and Arizona Phil, players report for Arizona Instructs this Thursday with the first game being next Friday, September 23rd.
- Poor John Gaub last night...makes his major league debut and is flawless in his first inning. Be nice to go out on a high note, but alas, Q-Ball decides to go a second inning with him and he ends up letting the first two runners on and they score.
- Tuesday's lineup
Castro SS, Barney 2B, Ramirez 3B, Pena 1B, LaHair RF, Soriano LF, Byrd CF, Soto C, Dempster P
Phillips 2B, Renteria SS, Votto 1B, Bruce RF, Alonso LF, Stubbs CF, Francisco 3B, Mesoraco C, Leake P
Cubs still in the 7th spot and going the wrong way.
- Smokies will battle Mobile (DBacks affiliate) in the Southern League Championship starting tomorrow. Marco Carrillo is the game 1 starter.
- Aramis Ramirez said that he wants a multi-year deal and is open to it being with the Cubs. That should make the offseason decision easy enough. Cubs should choose to exercise his $16M option, he wil then opt to void it and then the Cubs can offer him arbitration. He certainly won't accept it and the Cubs can get a first or second round pick for him if he signs elsewhere. And they still can try to negotiate a multi-year deal if they wish.
Re: Castro's Quest
Cashner made his first appearance since April and got his two outs including a strikeout.
Cashner pitched a few days ago - on the 9th.
Re: Castro's Quest
Yankees are the easy one.
I couldn't come up with the other two.
Colorado is actually really close (Helton, Giambi only 54 hits away).
Re: Castro's Quest
So that's why he didn't take Dempster out after 6 innings tonight. Way to go Q-ball, putting selfish interests ahead of the team's actual needs.
UPDATE: highest pitch count of the year for Dempster, 124 and rising, and most walks in a game this year. On verge of blowing any shot we have of coming back in this game, Q sits in the dugout counting his brain cell.
UPDATE 2: 129 pitches through 7. Dempster gets a brain dead Jay Bruce looking on a called 3rd strike, stranding runners at 1st and 3rd. Q greets Dempster in the dugout and asks if he can go all the way.
Re: Castro's Quest

Re: Castro's Quest
Still viable (=playing somewhere) 2006 draftees are Colvin (1), Samardzija (5), Clevenger (7), Parker (16), Latham (29), Samson (34), Smith (35) and Hatley (39).
I only see Veal (2) still viable among Stockstill's class of '05.
Re: Castro's Quest
Latham was booted out of the organization for reasons unknown (to me) and he missed the 2009 season. Since his return last year he has had control issues, but maybe they still like his arm.
Samson is the guy who reminds me of Theriot, although he doesn't steal bases. Smokies mgr. Brian Harper seems to like Samson and has given him over 300 PAs in spite of competition at short from Gonzalez, Lake and Mota. It's true that Samson hasn't hit much in two seasons in double A.
Re: Castro's Quest
It had to do with this...
The Idaho Statesman - Dec 06 11:22 PM
Jordan Latham, a pitcher during the Boise Hawks 2007 season, was arrested early Thursday morning for DUI and leaving the scene of an accident after the car he was driving hit a bump and launched into the front porch of a house at 22nd Avenue and Blaine Street, Boise police said.
Re: Castro's Quest
That must have been quite a bump... hope it wasn't a person.

VA PHIL: Cubs 2006 6th round pick RHRP (ex-3B) Josh Lansford (Carney Lansford's son) is still active in the OAK organization.
BTW, Josh Lansford's brother Jared is also a pitcher in the OAK organization.
Re: Castro's Quest
A couple of items of note regarding the Cubs 2006 draft...
The 2006 draft was notable for the Cubs not having any picks in rounds 2-4, and then giving significant "over-slot" bonuses to a number of draft picks, including 5th round pick RHP Jeff Samardzija and 11th round pick RHP Chris Huseby (both eventually got "1st round money"), 14th round pick OF Drew Rundle (who got "2nd round" money"), 22nd round pick 3B Jovan Rosa and 34th round pick INF Nate Samson (both got "5th round money"), and 20th round pick RHP Kevin Kreier and 29th round pick RHP Jordan Latham (both got "6th round money").
Jordan Latham and Marcus Hatley were two of the last so-called "Draft & Follow" draft picks to sign with the Cubs. (3B Jovan Rosa and RHP Cedric Redmond were the other two).
The "Draft & Follow" rule allowed an MLB club to draft a player and then retain the rights to that player until a week before the next year's draft, as long as the player was eligible for selection in the next draft. So it applied mainly to JC players. ("Draft & Follow" was abolished starting with the 2007 draft). Now clubs retain the rights only to college seniors with no eligibility left until a week prior the next year's draft. (TCU RHP Steven Maxwell is the only unsigned 2011 draft pick the Cubs can still sign up until a week before the 2012 draft).
Latham threw in the mid-90's at Fitch Park in the days following the 2006 draft, but opted to return to the College of Southern Idaho for the 2006-07 school year when the Cubs didn't meet his bonus demands (and he was set to transfer to Arizona State if he hadn't signed in 2007). But the Cubs did eventually relent, and gave Latham 6th round money ($100K) to sign just prior to the deadline in May 2007.
Hatley was a JC outfielder (Palomar JC) with a power-arm (and zero secondary stuff) the Cubs converted to a RHP after he signed in May 2007, and then he had TJS in 2009, so it has taken him a while to develop.
Re: Castro's Quest
Az. Phil, are you seen the Instructional roster yet?
Re: Castro's Quest
soriano still sucks at LF. neat.
Re: Castro's Quest
Too bad we didn't need them this season.
Re: Castro's Quest
That reQuade quote is priceless... it's like someone else is controlling the playing time.
Re: Castro's Quest
Just to make it clear regarding Cubs AZ Instructional League team, players report to Fitch Park this Thursday (9/15), and the first league game (for the Cubs) is A WEEK FROM Friday (9/23).
The Cubs are scheduled to play 20 AZIL games (10 home & 10 road), everyday Monday-Saturday (no activity on Sundays).
MIL & CIN first games are this Friday 9/16 and they play each other four times before there are any other AZIL games involving other teams scheduled. Then CLE & SD play their first games next Tuesday 9/20, OAK, LAA, and AZ play their first games on Thursday 9/22, SF, TEX, and CUBS play their first games on Friday 9/23, COL, LAD, and CHW play their first games on Saturday 9/24, and KC and SEA play their first games on Monday 9/26.
MIL last game is on Friday 10/7, SEA & SD last games are on Saturday 10/8, LAD & CLE last games are on Wednesday 10/12, CHW, TEX & AZ last games are on Friday 10/14, CUBS, LAA, SF, COL, and OAK last games are on Saturday 10/15, and CIN & KC last games are on Tuesday 10/18.
The Mariners play the fewest number of AZIL games (10), while the Reds play the most AZIL games (26).
Re: Castro's Quest
Since we all seem to be okay on your overall player reporting, can I just make a suggestion that you don't leave out the attendance figures by mistake. I think you did that once last session. It was a huge gaffe but I let it go since there is no micropayment requirement on this site yet.
Re: Castro's Quest
YEah, that really pissed me off too.... :)
Re: Castro's Quest
What happened is, the Cubs asked me not to report the attendance for that game, because it was embarrassingly low.
Re: Castro's Quest
If Ryno did QBall, would we bash him?
Re: Castro's Quest
I doubt we would as much. I also doubt that he'd require it as much.
Rumor is (and I think the rumor is perpetuated by Ryno himself) that he has read some of the "sabermatic books".
One quick check I did on how that was working out with him... the guy who closed last night's game, isn't always used at the closer, and has pitched as many as three innings in a relief outing. In fact, 11 guys got 48 saves for the Iron Pigs this year, seven of them three or more. Those same 11 guys combined for 41 holds. Of the top three guys, the highest percentage of games they finished was 64%. Marmol, for comparison has finished 83% of his games.
For the uninitiated, one of the tenets of sabermatically managing is to use your best reliever in the most important situation, regardless of inning.
Re: Castro's Quest
you'll find that your relief observation scales to almost every AAA/minor team and it rarely has much to do with situational closing or pressure situation relief appearances.
btw, you realize he managed a AAA team of starter bats that were almost all 26-32+ years old and an average age of about 28? not that it's a bad thing, you play with what you got...but he's run a vet-heavy-playing-time team this year.
Re: Castro's Quest
Have you also noticed how crappy a lot of those vets are?
When your best player is Brandon Moss....bleccchhh.
How'd they win?
Re: Castro's Quest
yeah, pretty much the pitching. weak bats all around except for columbus and durham in the IL.
it's still weird seeing durham out, but they did lose desmond to the majors. columbus took them out.
-edit- columbus lost some players to the bigs, too...oh well...woo playoffs.
Re: Castro's Quest
jeebus, how did they win?
The brilliance of Ryne Sandberg?
Re: Castro's Quest
they would have won 20 more if they hired j.zuleta to rub the bats down with fruit.
Re: Castro's Quest
Bwahahaahaa!! "Hats...for bats...keep bats warm.."
Keith Law Goes to the Movies
Moneyball, the movie, is an absolute mess of a film, the type of muddled end product you'd expect from a project that took several years and went through multiple writers and directors. Even good performances by a cast of big names and some clever makeup work couldn't save this movie, and if I hadn't been planning to review it, I would have walked out.
Re: Castro's Quest
"Peter Brand, a.k.a. Paul Antipodesta"
Re: Castro's Quest
either way k.law lays out pretty much every fear i had for the film...and more...as a fan who knows how baseball works rather than coming at it as a casual film fan.
i've gone from "maybe" based on earlier reviews to "pass."
Re: Castro's Quest
"I wasn't as concerned with the script having Beane trade Carlos Pena to Detroit for a reliever and some money (as opposed to the actual three-team, seven-player deal including Jeff Weaver and Jeremy Bonderman) as I was with seeing Pena, an intelligent, gregarious person, depicted as a sullen Latino player."
K Law
Re: Castro's Quest
A little known fact about Moneyball is that a completely different film (Hendry!) was orginally planned, but the actor signed to play the lead died before the picture could be completed.
Re: Castro's Quest
worst heart attack death acting ever in Norma Rae...great film, though.
Re: Castro's Quest
Re: Castro's Quest
Tell me if this bit rings true to anyone:
Howe is nothing but a holier than thou obstacle for Beane whose entire motivation for his stubbornness is his desire for a contract extension - a hopelessly tired plot device that makes for a one-dimensional character.
Recent comments
Madden won't announce lineups but Stella is practicing at 3rd and Bryant in LF today. I'd rather see Bryant at 3rd but I guess Stella has been hotter than Coghlan.
/edit. Though I guess they could be practicing this with the idea Stella would come in as a PH then double switch him to 3rd base and Bryant to LF. Hope that's the plan instead
I really like the sound of that idea about expanding the AFL to ten teams. Each org. gets to field more players.
They should do that anyway, regardless of Adv. Instructs.
Dallas Beeler, Corey Black, David Garner, Pierce Johnson, Steve Perakslis, James Pugliese, Duane Underwood Jr, and Rob Zastryzny threw early-morning bullpen side-sessions at Riverview yesterday.
Underwood threw last, and received specific one-on-one instruction from pitching coach Mike Mason.
HAGSAG: There are only five advanced instructs squads left, and presently the only "co-op" team operating is the Angels/Cubs.
The league was originally established as a "parallel" league to the AFL (a sort of "junior AFL"), for players too advanced for traditional ("basic") instructs but who were unable to get placed on AFL rosters due to AFL player-limits.
He is but I would think it'd be better to start out with offense and then bring in Jackson and LaStella once they have a lead. Stella has very good PH #s too.
most likely cost sharing + the league is short on players anyway. not many teams are chipping in on 'advanced instructional.'
I'm glad this is a one game playoff coming up, because McCutchen is one of my favorite MLB players. And as a baseball fan, I rather like the Pirates. I hope we beat them bad, of course. No mixed feelings here. And, I don't want a nail biter. Too old for that shit. The team of moran fans is easy to hate, though, and more suitable for a longer series.
A Jurickson Profar sighting!!!!???
I'd guess Jackson over Coghlan for the defense.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, is Jackson a better defender?
Less stress on the pitching staff?
I recall earlier this season when the Cubs played Bryant in center instead of left due to the weirdness that is the PNC outfield.
AZ Phil, what is the reason the Cubs are co-oping this team? They seem to have plenty of talent that would fill a roster.
RF is actually easier to play than LF in PNC so I'd guess Schwarber is there and that's why he was playing it Friday but yeah I'd say that's hopefully accurate.
Guess for Wednesday's lineup: Fowler (CF), Schwarber (LF), Bryant (3B), Rizzo (1B), Castro (2B), Montero (C), Russell (SS), Arrieta (P), Coughlan (RF)
Dusty already has blue and red wrist bands.

This Christmas I made a ton of the Rick Rack Rosettes Nikkala posted last year. I just loved them and they are so fun to make.
I wanted to add my own spin so I got a strand of cheap pearls, made some tiny rick rack rosettes and put it all together to create a fun vintage style necklace.
It's pretty simple really, but here's how I did it.
I followed all of Nikkala's instructions for making the rick rack rosettes, but instead of making my rick rack 10-12 inches long, I made mine 5 inches so that they would be mini.
I then cut my pearl strand and restrung it sewing the rick rack rosettes on jump rings and placing them on the strand as well.
I think it is so fun and the rick rack rosettes add just a fun bit of whimsy.
I'll be sharing how to make the Rick Rack Rosettes on Fresh Living today at 1pm MST. You can watch and see how fun and easy these are.Pin It

Expatriates in Saudi Arabia are told to be wary of crooks posing as Saudi cops, and encourages foreigners to stand up for their rights.
May 13, 2009 3:33 by Samir Al-Saadi
"It's one's right to request proper police identification," said Al Juaid, adding that undercover police officers do not randomly approach residents requesting to see their identification. "If they do there must be an investigation into that individual or maybe police are pursuing a unknown criminal in the area. In most cases police officers work in groups and are not made up of one or two individuals."
The police colonel said that if a person is confronted with someone who claims to be an undercover police officer he should assess the situation carefully. And more importantly, unless confronted with armed bandits or physical threats, one should assert his or her rights. This means demanding proper identification and making note of descriptions. "If one has done nothing wrong one should not be afraid," he added.
Al Juaid pointed out that if a real undercover officer stops you on the street, he will be accompanied by fellow officers and will most likely be pursuing a fleeing suspect. In that situation there should be signs of pursuit – sirens in the neighborhood and other activity.
"You should be suspicious of people in plain clothes in quiet areas stopping someone for no apparent reason," he said, pointing out that real Saudi undercover police typically do not dress in Saudi garb because they're trying not to look like they're Saudi. Crooks posing as undercover Saudi police, on the other hand, may be dressed like Saudis thinking they are more convincing as undercover officials if they wear thobes and headdresses.
Al Juaid suggests you pay special attention to the interior of the vehicle because undercover cops will have special equipment inside, much like what you would find in a police cruiser. "Make a point of memorizing face description and the license plates if the impostor is driving a vehicle," said the officer.
People who are confronted with such criminals should report it by calling the 999 emergency number and provide as much information as possible. Al Juaid pointed out that police impersonators are "rare," especially impostors in real Saudi police uniforms.
"The impostor's uniform would not be identical to that of uniforms worn by policemen," he said. "In a few cases that were reported the impostors were wearing plain brown uniforms without badges."

Slideshow: The Best Beer and Cider We Drank in 2011
New Belgium Twisted Spoke 15th Anniversary Ale
Blended especially for the Chicago beer bar's 15th anniversary, this American wild ale took three threads of beer with various fruits, spices and barrel-aging and then aged them all again in apple brandy barrels. The result was a beautiful meld of sour cherry, oak and vanilla along with just enough tartness and some of the apple brandy in the finish.—Jonathan Moxey
Boulevard Tank 7
American brewers are really starting to give their international counterparts a run for their money when it comes to brewing foreign styles, and Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale by Boulevard Brewing Co. is a perfect example of this trend. This straw colored, extra dry brew has a floral aroma and a delightful lemon-spice flavor. The availability in 11.2 ounce 4-pack format as well as the larger 750mL bottles makes this a versatile brew.—Joe Postma
Two Brothers Askew
Askew was the first beer I tried from the brewery's Project Opus series of aged sour beers. Three years in the making, this orange-hued American wild ale packed a blend of overripe pears and apple, sour grapes, earth, oak and barnyard funk. It was terrific and hopefully a good indicator of what's to come.—Jonathan Moxey
Snowdrift's Orchard Select Cider
We drank a lot of cider this year but this one still lingers in my mind. Far from the big apple notes and tart flavors we find in most ciders, Orchard Select is delicate and floral with undertones of tropical fruits. Everything about this cider is nuanced, and it's the first cider I seek out whenever I am in the Pacific Northwest.—Chris Lehault
New Belgium La Folie
An intense blend of tart and sweet makes La Folie by New Belgium one of the best commercial beers of the year. Flavors of sour cherries and oak pair wonderfully with a wide range of food. New Belgium has been brewing this Flanders-inspired beer for several years, but 2011 marked its largest distribution to date, making this treat available in any state that sells their standard offerings.—Joe Postma
Goose Island King Henry
Goose Island may have raised a few eyebrows earlier this year with their sale to international beverage giant Anheuser-Busch InBev, but their 2011 fall release of King Henry shows they're still producing creative and quality new brews. A massive 13.4% ABV bourbon barrel aged English barleywine, the rich toffee malt flavors blend seamlessly with sweet bourbon and oak. This is the best dessert beer of 2011 and it comes just in time to share with family and friends around the holidays.—Joe Postma
Pretty Things East India Porter
This hoppy porter is another in the Massachusetts gypsy brewers' Once Upon a Time series, in which they team up with beer historian Ron Pattinson to re-create a beer from the past. This was based on a recipe from 1855 (showing that it wasn't just IPAs that were sent to India—far from it, in fact), and as is often the case when going back to the original records, surprises are in store. I loved this beer not just for its historical pedigree (although that certainly works for me), but because it was a really solid and tasty beer. Long may the collaboration continue.—Lisa Grimm
Stillwater Chardonnay Barrel-Aged Stateside Saison
My new favorite Stillwater beer is brewer Brian Strumke's flagship Stateside Saison that he aged in Chardonnay barrels along with multiple strains of Brettanomyces. A knife's edge of carbonation and dryness lead a blend of orange, apricot, and Chardonnay grapes. It finishes with black pepper and lingering oak tannins.—Jonathan Moxey
It's nearly impossible to pick a favorite beer of the year, but if I was forced to pick just one, it would be the Chardonnay barrel aged Stateside Saison from Stillwater. While big stouts and sour beers are all the rage, this limited version of Stillwater's flagship Saison is more nuanced, with a complex Brett character mingling with the belgian yeast and white wine flavors.—Chris Lehault
Dieu du Ciel! Plum Shiso Sour Wheat
This tart beer was the standout at this year's NYC Brewer's Choice. Sour and fragrant, this beer was unusual and fruity with an herbal edge, fun to drink and incredibly refreshing in the midst of a jam-packed crowd.—Maggie Hoffman
Tröegs Nugget Nectar
The perfect balance of caramel and nutty malts with citrus and floral hops. The intensity and balance of this beer wowed me—it's my favorite new-to-me beer of the year for sure. It's a seasonal, and I'll be stocking up come February.—Nick Leiby
Southern Tier Iniquity Black IPA
An excellent mix of all that is good about IPAs and stouts. Loads of hops and chocolate flavors, and dangerously smooth at 9% ABV.—Nick Leiby
Sophia from Earth Bread + Brewery
The only downside about Earth Bread + Brewery in Philadelphia is that their always-wonderful, handcrafted beers may appear once and then disappear forever. This local brewpub isn't afraid to experiment; this particular beer was a fairly straightforward Berliner Weisse, with the option to add their own house-made cherry syrup, rather than the more traditional green woodruff variety. It was the perfect summer beer—tart and refreshing, and very tasty indeed both with and without the syrup. I hope it comes back again next year.—Lisa Grimm

Kidnapping victim Jaycee Dugard is suing the U.S. government, saying federal authorities should have been more closely monitoring Phillip Garrido, the man who abducted her.
Garrido, a convicted rapist who was on parole when he kidnapped Dugard in 1991, held her captive for 18 years.
Though parole agents were supposed to be supervising Garrido at his home in Antioch, Calif., from 1991 to 1999, they never detected Dugard's presence there during that time, the complaint states. Dugard, 31, who gave birth to two of Garrido's children during the years she was held captive, was not freed until 2009.

This hotel is nice, but it's definitely not perfect. If you do stay here you'll really enjoy the very friendly staff who do their best to accommodate your needs, comfortable beds, nice beds to lounge on by the pool, and a swim-up bar. There are plenty of shady and semi-shady spots around the pools. Some of the drawbacks: the beach is nice, but it's small and next to a road. The concierge desk is a bit to small, and they only seem to recommend places that give kickbacks to the hotel. The drinks and food at the pool bar are mediocre (the food and drinks in the hotel are much better). Our television remote didn't work, and neither did the audio on quite a few channels, including CBS during the Super Bowl. The air conditioning in our room blew cold air, but not enough to keep the room cool. Overall a decent hotel that's close to earning four stars, but isn't quite there yet.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Condado Plaza Hilton, the only luxury hotel overlooking both the Atlantic Ocean and Condado Lagoon, is an enchanting alternative to typical San Juan hotels.

Call it the Curse of Sprewell. In February 1997, Latrell Sprewell represented Golden State at the All-Star Game in Cleveland. But Sprewell the following December choked then Warriors coach P.J. Carlesimo and never played again for the team.Since then, the Warriors havent had an All-Star representative, by far the longest ongoing streak of any NBA team. Tied for second longest are Milwaukee, with Michael Redd the last one, and Sacramento, with Brad Miller and Peja Stojakovic the most recent, not having had All-Stars since 2004.But Golden States drought could end with the Feb. 17 game in Houston.

Selected Poems
Penguin Books Limited, 1989 - Literary Criticism - 340 pages
Robert Browning was one of the greatest of English poets, whose intense and original imagination enabled him to transform any subject he chose - whether everyday or sublime - into startling memorable verse. In his work he brought to life the personalities of a diverse range of characters, and introduced a new immediacy, colloquial energy and psychological complexity to the poetry of his day. This selection brings together verse ranging from early dramatic monologues such as the chilling 'My Last Duchess' and the ribald 'Fra Lippo Lippi', which show his gift for inhabiting the mind of another, to the popular children's poem 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' and many lesser known works. All display his innovative techniques of diction, rhythm and symbol, which transformed Victorian poetry and influenced major poets of the twentieth century such as Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot and Robert Frost.

During our recent stay at the Don Gaspar, I kept thinking, "Who would want a hotel when this is available?" The Inn is within a short walk to downtown and Canyon Road galleries, in a peaceful neighborhood. Each morning's breakfast was a wonderful treat, as the ladies in charge made sure food was offered that would appeal to the guests currently staying there. I very gluten intolerant, and they made sure a gf breakfast casserole was available each day. They even went to a local gluten free bakery to get me wonderful gf bread! Bottles of water and snacks were also available in the breakfast area...a great convenience. Our room had all the amenities anyone could ask for (we stayed in the Santa Fe room), and we so enjoyed coming back each day and flopping on the comfy couch and putting our feet up while we watched TV. The staff is
so extremely kind and friendly (Christine, you're amazing), and we found that guests mingled and conversed over breakfast as a result. Not something that happens at a hotel! As a result, we got to compare notes about the stores and restaurants that helped in the success of our trip. Finally, the cozy courtyard with beautiful landscaping was just gorgeous, especially when the sun went down and the lanterns came on. We'll be coming back.

Moto GP 4 - PS2
3.5 stars
Improved realism, large range of bikes and tracks
Easy game play, tacky music, no online mode
MotoGP, the mad sport of racing on insanely fast motorbikes, has just been revitalized and rejuvenated by Namco, who bring us the latest version of the popular series. Namco have been criticized in the past for releasing updates in this series with only minimal improvements on the last. So with the release of MotoGP4, have they fallen into that trap again?
On first impressions, it's difficult to tell. MotoGP4 boasts all the bikes, riders and tracks from the 2004 MotoGP, as well as 125cc and 250cc classes (slightly slower bikes, but useful for new players to learn on). It certainly appears impressive, but the proof, of course, is in the playing.
The basic physics of riding the bike have been noticeably improved, producing a more realistic ride. The ability to shift weight on the bike forwards, backwards, left and right has been enhanced, adding to the overall realism, while also giving the player something to do - the long straights on the tracks can drag a bit.
Also, a nice new touch is the inclusion of a Helmet Cam, giving players a "rider's-eye" view. This certainly increases the realism, especially when leaning round corners, just inches from the ground. Although these tweaks improve game play, the overall racing experience wasn't great to begin with.
For example, in the 125cc and 250cc modes, it is almost impossible to crash, or fall off your bike - as essential part of any motorbike racing game. Despite my best efforts to smash into fellow riders, and even into barriers, my rider seemed to have better balance than an Olympic gymnast, and stayed glued steadfast to the bike. Because of this, the races quickly became boring - requiring not skill, but instead a great amount of endurance.
This said, the graphics and sound have been noticeably improved. Bikes and riders are nicely detailed, although the tracks can appear dull and bland at times. The sound produced by the bikes is fantastic - ranging from the rasping 125cc bikes, right up to the deep purr of the MotoGP class machines. The music, meanwhile, lets the game down - tinny electronic dance music that grates on ones nerves, like a fly buzzing in the room.
Perhaps the biggest change however comes in a new style season mode. Before you can ride the fastest MotoGP bikes, you must rise up through the classes, beginning with 125cc, and unlock better bikes as you progress. This may be a huge inconvenience to MotoGP veterans who have to trudge through the slower classes to reach the MotoGP bikes, but it acts as a nice way of training new players while also competing. For those true novices though, there is now a training mode that teaches the basics of a bike. Outside of the season mode though, MotoGP bikes are available to for use in all modes immediately.
For fans of the sport or of the previous titles, MotoGP 4 will come as a great new motorbike racing experience. It certainly improves on MotoGP 3, adding a new element of realism.
Unfortunately it still lacks the x-factor which draws the masses to four-wheeled racing games. Ultimately, the game is probably one of the best motorbike racing games on PS2 - but regrettably that isn't saying much about motorbike racing games on the PS2.

Diphosphorus is an inorganic chemical with the chemical formula P
2. Unlike its nitrogen group neighbor nitrogen, which forms a stable N2 molecule with a nitrogen to nitrogen triple bond, phosphorus prefers a tetrahedral form P4 because P-P pi-bonds are high in energy. Diphosphorus is, therefore, very reactive with a bond-dissociation energy (117 kcal/mol or 490 kJ/mol) half that of dinitrogen. The bond distance has been measured at 1.8934 Å.[2]
Diphosphorus has been generated by heating white phosphorus at 1100 kelvins. Nevertheless, some advancements have been obtained in generating the diatomic molecule in homogeneous solution under normal conditions with the use of some transition metal complexes (based on, for example, tungsten and niobium).[3]
The molecule attracted attention in 2006, when a new method for its synthesis at milder temperatures emerged.[3]
This method is a variation on nitrogen expulsion in azides with formation of a nitrene. The synthesis of the diphosphorus precursor consists of reacting a terminal niobium phosphide with a chloroiminophosphane:
Heating this compound at 50 °C in 1,3-cyclohexadiene serving as a solvent and as a trapping reagent expulses diphosphorus, which is reactive, as it is forms a double Diels-Alder adduct and the niobium imido compound:
The same imido compound also forms when the thermolysis is performed in toluene but then the fate of diphosphorus is unknown.
P2 has been suggested to form as an intermediate in the photolysis of P4[4] and in the presence of 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene the diphosphane is again formed.[5] To date, no direct evidence of P2 formation via P4 photolysis exists.

text: I just upgraded to jaunty and I tried that volume manager fix and it worked. It still sounds horrible and almost unusable. It has been a year already and nothing from pulseaudio side or alsa side have offered any fix so far. The pusleaudio developer just seems like he really doesn't care. Although he says the digitized data coming from the mic can be boosted through the ui of pulseaudio, doesn't mean it fixes anything. When just using alsa the digitized data seems to be just fine without any "digital" boost. At least for me. Pulseaudio just seems to lose something from grabbing that data from alsa. I at least hope I am wrong, as I do not know too much about these systems, but if anybody really knew that much more this problem would be fixed. Regarding how the pulseaudio developer keeps dropping this bug, I just don't see this getting fixed anytime soon. The only bet is to get rid of pulseaudio to get any decent use out of the internal mic. -- internal mic capture very low volume when routed through pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275998 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Bugs, which is subscribed to Linux.

As Karie Bible strides across Hollywood Forever Cemetery, the hem of her mourning gown absorbs dew from the gravesites of Douglas Fairbanks and Jayne Mansfield. She tours the cemetery for a living, leading groups to crypts and monuments that mark the remains of deceased celebrities.

Each tour lasts about two hours and sheds light on cherished stars, as well as lesser-known entertainers and community members.
