But to get to the first part of your post, why do you not make that move if the combo of Votto to LF and Alonso at 1B is better than keeping Votto at 1B and someone else in LF? The fact that Votto may be better than Alonso at 1B means nothing if the move makes the Reds better.
Again, not saying it does. But completely ignoring the fact that it could happen seems to be going on an awful lot in the thread.

Remember how the schools merger story of about five years ago would change by the hour at times? That story has met its equal in what is becoming the first major challenge of the new Strickland administration at City Hall – the Overton Park Greensward.So much happened before noon Tuesday on the first day of the short work week that it required waiting for the dust to settle on several fronts.Here is the latest on a very fluid and volatile situation that could very well change as you are reading this.Luckily we report at a time when you can change stories on line to keep up with such changes.Zoos and parks and protests featuring brass bands suggest to a casual observer that this is not very serious as controversies go.And maybe that was the case about a year and a half ago when a group of high school students decided to block the gravel driveway from the zoo parking lot onto the greensward.But consider this:The Memphis Zoo is working toward a March 1 opening of its new exhibit, Zambezi River Hippo Camp, a $22-million attraction that from what we saw just a few months ago will likely draw big crowds to the zoo in the spring.The zoo was preparing for that starting with the removal of 27 trees from the north end of the greensward.The best Mayor Jim Strickland could get from both sides – the zoo and Overton Park Conservancy – at his meeting with them Tuesday was a commitment to take his proposal for mediation to their respective boards.The zoo board has authorized its leaders to file a lawsuit in Chancery Court over the greensward and it's very likely the zoo would go to court before the March 1 opening because of the crowds on their way.If the work to come by the zoo in advance of the March 1 opening involves heavy machinery, the reaction is likely to draw a much bigger protest than the ones Memphis Police have so far watched from a distance without making arrests.As in all pressing political dramas, this controversy has the accelerant of timing.

It is that time of the year, when I get to play Santa Claus for college basketball, baby!
It is great to give out gifts to those who have been nice. 'Tis the season to be jolly!
Let's start off with a natural gift, Santa. Give Indiana and Kentucky fans a chance to see their teams meet every season. Perhaps they could play at a neutral site like the Barclays Center, where the fans of the Hoosiers and Wildcats came out in full force for different opponents earlier this season. Santa, ask Tom Crean and John Calipari to get it done for the fans, baby! Let's make sure we have more rivalry games to help the sport.
Santa, what about that new league of seven Catholic schools? They want to form their own basketball conference upon leaving the Big East! I believe you should give them five more teams and a new television contract, and let them have a dynamite dazzling dozen. Give them the success that they deserve. Enough talk about football driving the bus -- let these schools do their own thing! Pigskin should not dictate their future.
Mr. Claus, please let Mike Krzyzewski and Jim Boeheim get to 1,000 wins! That would be phenomenal; give them many more years of W's and success! They could join solid-gold Hall of Famer Pat Summitt. She is the only coach in Division I in the 1,000-win club, and Coach K and Boeheim could be the first two to hit that mark in men's hoops.
Santa, give us more coaches like Boeheim, who are so honest in their views. After he reached the 900-win mark, he spoke about gun violence in our country and he was so eloquent in his remarks.
Hey Santa, give us a new rule that will allow us to enjoy the greatness of some of these diaper-dandy freshmen for more than one season. It would help college basketball and it would make the sport more special if we saw these kids hang around a little bit longer, improving their skills for the long term.
Dear Santa, continue to give us great play from the super players like Trey Burke of Michigan, Doug McDermott of Creighton, Mason Plumlee of Duke, Cody Zeller of Indiana, and Brandon Paul of Illinois. These guys have been special so far during the 2012-13 campaign.
Santa, it is time to give some second lieutenants a chance to have a first-class job. Assistant coaches like Steve Wojciechowski and Chris Collins of Duke, Dwayne Stephens of Michigan State, Scott Garson of UCLA, and Orlando Antigua of Kentucky would be great in the head-coaching role if given the right opportunity. Get them a chance to find the right program.
Santa, help out Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall, who had three key players go down with injuries. Give him some healthy bodies for the stretch run. Also give Louisville back a healthy Gorgui Dieng; coach Rick Pitino would have a different team with the shot-blocker in the middle!
Santa, give Northern Kentucky, Maryland-Eastern Shore, St. Francis of Pennsylvania, Grambling and Mississippi Valley State a W! Let them feel the joy of a victory and get them to break into the win column.
Finally, Santa, give the fans a happy and healthy holiday season. Let 2013 be special in every way.

container combos for 2012
Interesting combinations there.
My planned containers usually turn out different.
Last year I had planned orange geraniums with Duet petunias.
The Duet petunias turned out more on the red side than the white and salmon.
The planters were ugly!
I am keeping the orange geraniums, but this year they will be potted back with
blue morn and white avalanche petunias.
These would be for a full sun position.

Believe me the grief over bad color combos is my biggest pieve.
Nurseries post photos that have been doctored or have too much blue or red balance in order to make dark purples look that way.
Add the factor of some coleus turn different colors depending on where they are and how much sun they get.
Its a Krap shoot no matter how one looks at it. I just like the collage to give me an even chance.

Two wounded in shooting at Phoenix jewelry store
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Police Department was called to the scene of a shooting at a Valley jewelry store.
Shots were fired at Diamond Star AZ Jewelry, near 14th Street and Northern Avenue, on Tuesday afternoon.
Police said a male store clerk and a female suspect exchanged gun fire. Both were hit.
"We had a woman, believed to be in her late 20s, went in to the store," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Tommy Thompson. "During the course of the robbery, the owner of the store pulled a gun and actually shot her several times."
The suspect was hospitalized, but authorities said her injuries are not life-threatening. The clerk's injuries were also not severe.
The scene remains heavy with police activity.

Speaking of the board.It's a complete and utter wreck. Once in a while if you want to take the time to passby, you may find one professional approaching RIMM as an investment.

Big Lots
Store to open in Eastridge Shopping Center
Published: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
A new retailer opening here this week will give residents more shopping variety while aiding the revitalization of the Eastridge Crossing Shopping Center on Thompson Street.
Big Lots will open its doors at 9 a.m. Thursday, said store manager Neil Meyer.
The store joins Pardee's Urgent Care Center, Lon Sen Chinese restaurant, Welcome Finance and Mailbox and Pack in the shopping center that was the location of the old Wal-Mart before the retailing giant moved to its 250 Highlands Square Drive address.
Big Lots will host a grand opening Wednesday, April 27.
The 35,000-square-foot store is in the former Wal-Mart building. It features products ranging from food to furniture to clothing. Big Lots specializes in offering name brand items at close out prices, Meyer said.
"It's a different shopping experience," he said. "We buy close out items and the prices are just ridiculous. Our stuff is name brand items that we buy from other distributors, such as Eckerd's, which had some stores in Florida close earlier this year and we bought out their inventory. We did the same thing last year when Kmart cut back at some of their stores."
By purchasing this way, Meyer said, Big Lots passes the savings on to its customers.
For example, the store is offering Pur sink water filters for $9.99 (a package of two filters) that normally sell for $29.99 at other retailers.
Among the name brands Big Lots will carry include Del Monte foods, Hanes hosiery, Revlon cosmetics, Vicks health care products and Tupperware, Meyer said. Inventory will change from week to week depending on the deals the company's buyers make, he added.
"The fun thing about shopping here is the inventory is constantly changing," Meyer said.
There are more than 1,500 Big Lots throughout the United States with the company's headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. The company did $3 billion in sales last year.
The Hendersonville store joins two other Big Lots in Western North Carolina -- one in Asheville and the other in Waynesville. Meyer will head up a 60 person work force at the Thompson Street Big Lots. Formerly a manager with the Asheville store, Meyer said he thinks the store will find a niche here.
"We used to have a lot of people come (to Asheville) from Hendersonville, so now they won't have so far drive and I think people are going to like that," he said. "The landlord has been putting new signage up and they're redoing the (shopping center's) exterior with beautiful stone work so it's just going to be a really pretty shopping center. We're really looking forward to being here."
Store hours are Mondays through Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Contact Kelley at 694-7871 or e-mail her at email@example.com.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Land Rover LR2
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 6.5
The new Range Rover Evoque may be the family looker, but the entry-level Land Rover LR2 SUV still deserves a strong look. Last year, Land Rover updated the engine, interior and exterior styling to draw more attention to its least expensive model. This year little has changed, but the LR2 still offers something a lot of its competition doesn't: real off-road capability. With standard all-wheel drive, ample ground clearance, and the ability to traverse nearly 20 inches of standing water, the LR2 can go where similarly priced competitors can't. On the other hand, despite last year's improvements, the 2014 Land Rover LR2 doesn't offer the refinement or panache of luxury competitors like the Mercedes-Benz GLK, BMW X3 and Audi Q5.
If you want your luxury SUV to have the off-road ability to back up its rugged looks, the 2014 Land Rover LR2 may just be the ticket. It also has an air of exclusivity, because the LR2 is a relatively low-volume vehicle compared to other brands.
The downside to the LR2 is that, despite its luxury nameplate, it's simply not as sophisticated or refined as competitors like the Audi Q5, BMW X3 or even the Acura RDX. Then there's Land Rover's reputation for slipshod reliability, giving the LR2 some of the industry's lowest residual values.
The 2014 Land Rover LR2 gets a handful of tweaks after last year's upgrade. The SUV's infotainment system gets a more responsive touch screen, and the SiriusXM satellite radio features better search and other usability improvements. The 825-watt Meridian sound system is available on base and HSE models as a stand-alone option.
The good news is that if you plan to take your entry-luxury SUV off road, the 2014 Land Rover LR2 is pure Land Rover. The turbocharged 4-cylinder offers broad power...
... and smooth throttle response, perfect for carefully navigating obstacles. On road, it's a different story. While other brands may brag about their "carlike" handling, the LR2 feels more ponderous than its rivals. Still, it confidently soaks up bumps and road imperfections, and it easily negotiates corners and tight parking lots. Wind and road noise contribute to the LR2 feeling less refined than its competitors, though.
Part of the reason the Land Rover LR2 is so good off road is its Terrain Response system, which tailors vehicle characteristics to handle one of four driver-selectable settings, such as grass/gravel/snow, mud and ruts, sand and normal driving.
There's no doubting that the 825-watt, 17-speaker Meridian surround-sound system is one of the best out there. If you're an audiophile, you're likely to look at the Land Rover LR2 as just a fancy mobile carrying case for this sound system.
Last year's upgrade to the dash has definitely paid dividends. The new dash is far more elegant and less cluttered than the old one, and the materials are mostly in line with the class, with a few cheap-looking plastics here and there. The new touch screen is designed to provide a more user-friendly experience, including improved scrolling and a QWERTY keyboard. On a more pragmatic front, the Land Rover LR2 can carry up to 59 cubic feet of cargo with the rear seats folded, which is on par with or better than other vehicles in the category.
The exterior upgrades last year were far subtler than the interior's. The 2014 Land Rover LR2 soldiers on with the same appearance, with LEDs sprinkled here and there. Unfortunately, the LR2 is starting to look a little old, especially with the Evoque and Evoque-inspired Range Rover and Range Rover Sport on the same showroom floor. High-end HSE and HSE LUX models distinguish themselves with silver-painted grille bar inserts, fender vents and rear finisher strip. Although the LR2 rides SUV-high, step-in height and cargo loading are easily manageable for adults.
The 5-passenger 2014 Land Rover LR2 is offered in base, HSE and HSE LUX trims. In base form, the LR2 comes equipped with the Terrain Response traction-management system, a panoramic moonroof, leather upholstery and an 11-speaker audio system paired with a 7-inch touch-screen display. Mid-tier HSE models add a rearview camera, rear park distance control and xenon headlights, while primo HSE LUX versions are highlighted by the Meridian premium audio system and an 8-way power driver's seat (6-way is standard). In terms of safety, every 2014 LR2 includes seven airbags, rollover-mitigation control and active head restraints designed to help protect against whiplash injuries.
While audiophiles can now order the Meridian sound system on the base and HSE models, Snowbelters and the perpetually cold will love the heated steering wheel and front seats that comprise the cold climate package. Improvements to the navigation system this year mean it merits a look as well. And, while it may not be a deal-breaker, the Land Rover LR2's lack of a power liftgate is a glaring omission, particularly since nearly all luxury SUVs have offered such a convenience for the better part of a decade.
A new 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine – the same Ford-designed EcoBoost powerplant used in the Evoque – replaces the 3.2-liter inline-6 of the former model. With 240 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of peak torque, it tops the outgoing 6-cylinder engine by 10 horsepower and 16 lb-ft of torque. The carry-over 6-speed automatic transmission now incorporates Land Rover's Intelligent Power System Management (IPSM), which recovers kinetic energy during deceleration and braking to charge the battery in the most energy-efficient manner. These powertrain changes translate to a 15-percent uptick in fuel economy while delivering an improved 0-60-mph time of around 8.2 seconds (down from 8.4).

240 horsepower @ 5,500 rpm

Heated seats, steering wheel, windshield and mirrors are excellent. Satellite radio and Bluetooth work great. I have had it over a year (22,000 miles) and it still drives and feels like a new car."

Plenty luggage space for the average road trip. You can sleep in it with the back seats down. In general it is great fun to drive on the road and highly capable off road. It really shines when the weather gets lousy. Traction in snow and mud and rain is outstanding. It makes you wish for bad weather."

"I bought my 2008 LR2 brand new - and simply love it almost 8 years later. I looked at all the SUVs before purchasing this vehicle. What made my decision was the turning ratio, still amazes me, plus its good looks. Sadly looking to get a new vehicle because I need to be able to tow more than the LR2 can handle. Minimal tweaks (gas gauge stopped working, weird knocking sound) needed on the vehicle and all were under warranty as it happened early."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I bought my 2008 LR2 SE to replace my 2005 Honda Pilot EX-L that was nearing 150000 miles and beginning to worry me because of repair costs (i.e., alternator, engine mounts, struts, etc.). Besides, my plan for the last 3 vehicles I have owned is to purchase them used with under 100k miles and then sell them just around 150k miles. I'm not so sure that I'll do the same with this LR2. I love the way it handles. I love the way it looks. I love the reliability. The first couple of days of driving it around I missed the interior space of my Pilot. But, really that's all I missed about my Pilot (and it's a great vehicle). I now have a way better turning radius. I fit everywhere: alleys, narrow off-road trails, parking spots. The AWD feels amazing in rain, terrain, and dunno about snow yet, but I'm gonna guess that it handles it's business there too. The other things I love include the height of the vehicle, which makes it much easier to put my toddlers into their carseats; the automatic everything (lights, doors, windows); sport/command shifting; dual moonroofs (I may be the only one to like the mesh shades); and the visibility around the car makes me feel like I never have a blindspot. Did I mention I LOVE this vehicle? So, why not a 10/10 for value and overall? Mostly because I feel that vehicles, in general, are too expensive and this rover is no execption. And the one pet peeve with the LR2 is that you don't get audible feedback when remote locking it--it's the opposite actually, if you hear the horn it means something is open. You have to listen for the audible click of the door locks or look for the lights. Kind of bizarro that one little thing."

"I have a 2013 LR2 HSE. Originally I was looking for a BMW X3, Volvo XC-60, or an Audi Q3, basically a smaller luxury SUV/Crossover. But after test driving them all, I went with Land Rover. The visibility in the LR2 is incomparable, and the stadium seating for both front and rear passengers is fantastic--great views out all of the windows. The 4 cylinder engine feels just like a V6, no issues punching it to merge onto the freeway, and the handling is very nimble for a taller non-sports type vehicle. It handles wonderfully in the rain, I can't yet comment on other terrains. The rear seats fold completely flat, which may or not be a deal breaker for you, but we use the vehicle primarily for our business, to haul items around, with the added bonus of it being very fun and capable to drive, with a comfortable interior, understated yet stylish dashboard panel (love how many of the features are located through the control system on the steering wheel, freeing up cluttery knobs and buttons all over the place) and pretty much all the bells and whistles you can ask for. Only downside I can say would be no front parking sensors (although I heard they are offered if you purchase new) and power liftgate--but the rear trunk is so easy to manually open and close, it's not that much of an issue when I weigh it against everything else I get in the HSE model. Overall, I am very pleased!"

Check Your Connection Speed with speedtest-cli
Productivity Sauce
Speedtest.net is a popular service for checking the speed of your Internet connection. But loading the page in a browser every time you need to quickly measure your current connection speed is not always practical. Enter speedtest-cli, a one-trick pony that lets you test your connection from the command line. Written in Python, the utility is easy to deploy. You can either install it using the pip install speedtest-cli command as root, or clone the project's GitHub repository and install the utility by running the python speedtest-cli/setup.py install command. You can then use the speedtest-cli command to run the utility.
By default, the tool automatically picks the server closest to you, but you can force speedtest-cli to use a specific server. To do this, use the --list parameter to view a list of all available servers and their IDs, and then run the speedtest-cli --server ID command (replace ID with the actual ID of the desired server). The utility supports a few other parameters, and you can view them by running the speedtest-cli --help command.comments powered by Disqus

DECATUR, Ill. -- The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will sign an alliance with the Illinois Health Care Association (IHCA) on Tuesday, Oct. 19 in Decatur, Ill.
