Secret Brain Lab
These guys penetrated the abandoned and sealed science lab of Russian Army which conducted sophisticated experiments studying human and animal brains. They got a lot photos of many test samples in an abandoned state but still excellent condition. You can see even the last Soviet leader Gorbachev that was left in rush - it was the time of his rule when the lab was closed and sealed from civilians.

Oh, that's my brain in the jar…I did wonder where it went.
Nice pictures, just the right amount of gruesome
lol, they are making a frankeinstain monster
Boo! Happy Halloween.
Poo! Thanks.
How do you do.
My name is Marina. I am 68 retired auditor from Moscow. I intended to visit this web site to practice my English and debate with members.
I want to pactice my English, because I am planing to move to Scotand where my daughter live for ten years. I want to be close to my gaughter because I not young.
Pleased to interact with you.
(Sorry for my English. I am still learning.)
Hi Marina,
If you speak as well as you write, you'll be just fine. I know plenty of native speakers of English that are much worse.
is that native english speaking English people, or Americans? Americans dont count.
Your English is already better than most American graduates.
Practice makes perfect, but you are doing just fine.
All you very kind to me. Thank you.
When arriving to Scotland, are you willing to perform some hot A2M intercourse with me?
Hi Marina, are you in Scotland now? I live in Scotland and I am very interested in Russia.
Photoshop, clearly
why, it's not photoshop.
• all brain pictures are wrom stantard school anatomy class,
• same about half-prepared rat..
• pack of boxes is simple machboxes clued together and marked to store resistors..
there is nothing to photoshop. actually, such pack of photos could be made at any ex-soviet abandoned school (well, you'll have to bring there caviar can from any local market and find a rare old-fasioned xylitol-based chocolate box).
The values on that matchbox thingy are typical for electrical resistors.
they intended to implant those resistors
Back in days, I also used to have such drawer cabinet made of hundreds of empty matchboxes glued togeher. Very cheap and handy way to keep your electronic components.
Is it fake ?
Someone here have already recognized his property on one of the pics, so its not fake, presumably.
LOL. Yes, very good.
Hey! I've got a can of caviar like the one on picture 6 in my fridge. Lososevaya zernistaya mmmmm :).
Wow! Incredible pictures! Cool!
the "complexity" of the experiments are sure, but the same can not be said for the experimenters, gosh, didnt they clean or did they just flea? Man. I wonder why they just left everything and left. Didnt even bother stealing cups or drugs.
I dare you to drink spirit out of one of these jars!
They were probably using the brains to feed the zombies they were training to invade the US and turn it into a glorious worker's paradise. But the zombies got agitated and attacked the scientists, killing them and eating their flesh. The infantry units deployed at the base were also eaten when their bullets proved to have no effect on the living dead. If there is no film depicting this event, then I will definitely make one. Who wants to star as the evil lab director? How about the sexy young lab assistant? How about the homosexual loner scientist? OK, Boris will obviously do that one.
This is seriously creepy!
i am quite sure that this is art not documentary
I would not be so sure about it.
It is not that the place was abandoned in hurry.
Just, after the last man left the room and locked it, no one ever came back to it again.
It just happened like that.
It was not urgency, it was not planned, it was not supposed to be that way.
It just happened.
So now, i under stand the reality,that all CPSU members were mindless.they drain their brains to the research lab and also i believe, majority of Russians are walking without their brains.do you agree??????????????????????
they are saving the brains of communist leaders to try and reincarnate them in the future, it is all a conspiracy. You know it makes sense.
"Sophisticated" isn't exactly the word that comes to mind when I look at those photos… That looks like vacuum-tube-technology level stuff, at best.
извиняюсь что на русском пишу, но… на одном из фото на подоконнике стоят колба и пластиковая бутылка. ну так вот, авторам: в советском союзе не было пластиковых бутылок, было все стеклянное-деревянное-металлическое, а вот с пластмассами было плохо дело. так что считаю эти фото грузным поклепом. ай-яй-яй, некрасиво
If the lab was closed during USSR – the portrait would be on the wall, not the window sill.
Plastic bottles mean yearly 90s.
No more than any Western state practicing political correctness.
too bad they don't have pictures of gorbachev's brain in a jar
Creepy foto, brrrrr…
great pics…..if you're into that kinda of stuff….would be great for a story or movie…oh and who cares if they're fake or real? every country has it's "dark side"…america has the southern states….
Lol, the south! Don't forget cesspools like California and New York. American liberals have aided and abetted the murder of over 53 million babies since 1963. Liberals gone amok have destroyed America!!!
dis-colouration indicates a fairly long time has past without any disturbance…to anything.
Brains(jarred and spliced)….most of em look like rats. Not uncommon, just look in any highschool, uni or med school.
But yes an art piece, if not only for the good angles and all that.
This really scary.
I need a Gorbatschow photo too!
I think they wanted to create a Lenin guy but in a Frankenstein edition!!;)
Ñam, ñam!! Delicious!!
Totally cool! How much for the juicy brains? Brains! Give me brains!
Its a fake, why isnt there an overview pic showing the whole room/lab? its all so unclear and the angles are perfect, the fotos are perfectly sharp… perfectly "beautiful" art. its a fake..
A Resident Evil-style lab , creepy…
I think someone is not telling the truth here.
Photo's 13 and 14 look more like what is left after someone cooked up a batch of dope. Its not like that's against the law in Russia, so long as it remain in a liquid form.
there a lot of similary-targeted research institution both in former USSR and in West.
any in both sides, some ways of experimenting – completely illegal[such as various species brains, mixing].

any idea where exactly this is? if you know something more about this lab please contact me: email@example.com
Unbelievable pics! Do you know where this is?
These pics give me a headache!
It's odd how with this and other abandoned places on this site that it looks like the people just left without even trying to tidy up a bit. Really interesting stuff.

As a former student of the bio-sciences, the improper cleaning and closure of that site is disturbing. Those vials could hold desiccated tissue, as could those sliced-tissue slides for examination …. but – leaving such stuff laying around is not very responsible.
It could have any number of possible vectors on them – and they could still be viable – even after so long.

We have a web application which which is deployed and used within an intranet. The application reads in text files from a specified location on the web server itself.
Now we have a requirement of reading in text files from other machines as well, so i'm exploring possible options to implement this. Possible options i've been thinking of are:
- Maybe start a ftp server on each local machine and then write a servlet to ftp given machines n read-in data.
- Maybe run some utility program thats would read in file contents and push it back to the server using xml etc ?)
Ne help about above/or new ideas would be highly appreciated!
Technologies i'm using are : Tomcat/Struts/JSP/AJAX.
P.S i want to handle non NFS situations as well!
Thanks, Abhishek.

HOUMA — The owner of a Houma marine towing company is accused of repeatedly raping the 4-year-old son of an ex-employee and terrorizing the boy into silence, according to papers filed at the Terrebonne Parish courthouse Friday.
Lawyers for Arlen "Benny" Cenac Jr., 47, say the charges — five counts of aggravated rape in Terrebonne and two in Lafourche — are without merit, and criticized how the case is being handled.
"We are outraged about these specious allegations, and we will aggressively defend these charges in court," said New Orleans attorney Michael Ellis. "It should be noted that at this time, I have not received a copy of the arrest warrant or any affidavits in connection with these charges."
Cenac, whose business dealings include Cenac Towing, an aquaculture operation and real estate transactions, has garnered a reputation for being a tough businessman as well a major contributor to education and community programs.
If convicted of aggravated rape, Cenac faces a mandatory life prison sentence.
He made headlines in February when he was charged with felony hit-and-run in connection with the Feb. 17 traffic death of a Houma pedestrian. He is free on $30,000 bond in connection with that case, which has no apparent connection, police said, to the rape charges. A civil suit, alleging Cenac tried to hide proof of his involvement with the hit-and-run, has also been filed in connection with that incident.
On the rape case, a bond of $100,000 has already been pre-set in Lafourche, where charges were brought by Sheriff Craig Webre's office. But a judge in Terrebonne Parish — where the Louisiana Attorney General's investigator filed a separate complaint — decreed that Cenac be held without bond when apprehended.
According to court papers, Cenac is a flight risk because he has access to large amounts of money and a private plane, but attorneys said they expect him to return.
"As a significant amount of locals do during Mardi Gras week, Mr. Cenac is out of town and will return home next week," Ellis said. "Mr. Cenac and I will meet with the law enforcement agencies at that time."
'Uncle Benny'
The court file contains allegations that Cenac "took an unusually overbearing interest in the upbringing of the victim and often bathed the victim."
During regular visits to Cenac's Lafourche ranch, the file alleges, the boy — who referred to him as "Uncle Benny" — always slept in Cenac's room.
The Courier is withholding the name of the child and his parents due to the nature of the crime.
According to the Terrebonne filing, the father of the child was also involved sexually with Cenac, out of fear for his job. The family members could not be reached for comment Friday.
The child's mother became alerted to a potential problem when the child complained of internal pain that could be attributed to sexual abuse and contacted the Terrebonne Parish District Attorney's Office. The father left Cenac's employ at that time, and the boy began seeing a New Orleans psychologist., the court papers state.
Earlier this month, the complaint says, the child revealed in counseling and to his mother a history of oral copulation allegedly perpetrated by Cenac.
Those alleged incidents, the court papers state, took place at restrooms of a local supermarket and discount department store, at Cenac's home and office, and at the boy's home.
"The victim stated that Cenac told him that if he ever told anyone what had happened, the victim's mother would die and ëwho would be left to take care of you and your daddy,' " the court papers state, an allegation Cenac's attorneys say is also without merit.
'Gestapo' tactics
Warrants for Cenac's arrest were issued Friday in the parishes of Terrebonne and Lafourche. Police officers attempted to execute those at his ranch in Gheens and at another location in Houma, but came up empty-handed.
Ellis branded the Gheens attempt by a heavily armed SWAT team as a "Gestapo-style raid" and alleges that a shot was fired during the operation.
"Law enforcement officials and I had been discussing the alleged charges and how I wanted to meet with them to discuss my client's position in this matter," Ellis said. "The Attorney General's Office agreed that no official action would be taken against Mr. Cenac, without allowing me an opportunity to meet with their representatives."
Although the Terrebonne charges are in connection with allegations concerning the one child, the two-page document also says that Cenac sexually molested other boys he came into contact with over the years, without supplying details. The statement contains allegations that male employees of Cenac -- including the father of the child on whose behalf charges were brought -- have been sexually molested or harassed by Cenac.
Authorities said that at least one of those cases resulted in a large cash settlement that included a "hush" clause.
If other victims come forward, Cenac could face additional charges, authorities said.
Attempts by The Courier to locate ex-employees in regard to those allegations were not successful.
Investigation not over
Cenac is owner, president and chief executive officer of Cenac Towing, a major local employer that provides boats to the Gulf of Mexico oilfield and elsewhere. His philanthropic endeavors have included a $600,000 bequest two years ago to his alma mater, Nicholls State University in Thibodaux.
More charges could be filed, authorities said, as a joint effort by the sheriffs of Lafourche and Terrebonne, as well as the Louisiana Attorney General's Office, continues.
Anyone with information that could help further the investigation or with knowledge of Cenac's whereabouts is asked to call the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office at 876-5787, the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office at 876-2500 or the Attorney General's Office at (504) 568-6024.

Text on the back: Abmarsch der Juden aus unserem Internierungsgebiet
Departure of the Jews from our area internment
In Litzmannstadt/Lodzhad the German National Socialists, the second largest ghetto in Poland. The Lodz ghetto was used mainly as a stopover and transit camp for Jews. From here, hundreds of thousands of people were in the Chelmno extermination camp (Chelmno nad Nerem), Auschwitz II, sent Majdanek, Treblinka and Sobibor. There are separate areas for Sinti and Roma. There was also a separate area for children and young people. The youngest child was two years old. During the existence of the camp, several thousand children, perhaps twelve to thirteen thousand imprisoned or even 20,000 children here.
In Litzmannstadt hatten die deutschen Nationalsozialisten das zweit größte Ghetto in Polen eingerichtet. Das Ghetto Litzmannstadt diente vor allem als Zwischenstation und Sammellager für Juden. Von hier aus wurden hunderttausende Menschen in die Vernichtungslager Kulmhof (Chełmno nad Nerem), Auschwitz II, Majdanek, Treblinka und Sobibor verschickt. Es wurden Bereiche abgetrennt für Sinti und Roma.
Hier gab es auch einen abgetrennten Bereich für Kinder und Jugendliche. Das Jüngste Kind war zwei Jahre alt. Während des Bestehens des Lagers wurden mehrere Tausend Kinder, möglicherweise zwölf- bis dreizehntausend oder sogar 20.000 Kinder hier inhaftiert.
That just gives me chills, Pillboxs. Thank you. I will print it out, and attach it with the photo itself.
By just looking at the picture, I knew that they were being taken somewhere.
From the link above...
Juveniles Litzmannstadt
The juveniles Lodz ( youth or children's camp , officially Polish juveniles of the Security Police in Lodz Lodz ) was a concentration camp for children during the German occupation of Poland . The camp in the city of Lodz ( Łódź ) existed from 1942 to 1945.
Under the name of minors camp east since 1941 began planning. The inspiration was, by his own admission, by Hans Muthesius , the disturbed, "that have been transferred from a lack of specific facilities foreign peoples, especially young Polish people of German welfare education." [1] On 15 November 1941, Heinrich Himmler, the command for the accelerated creation of the camp . [2] By letter dated 30 May 1942 informed the SS-Obergruppenführer Oswald Pohl with that he does not regard as acceptable, the Waffen-SS to use for education and security of children and therefore have to return jurisdiction to the judicial police. The camp was built but then under the supervision of the SS, but the camp administration was in the Reich Central Office for combating juvenile delinquency , a special unit of female criminal investigation . [3] On 30 September 1942 to prepare the camp was part of the Lodz ghetto evacuated. It covered the part between the streets Ewald, Max and Robert Street (today Bracka, Emili Plater, Górnicza) and the Jewish cemetery. Some of the buildings on the site was demolished. [4] With the 28th command November 1942 by Himmler, the camp was at 1 Opened in December 1942. The construction of the barracks was completed in early 1943, further expansion lasted until late 1943.

Advice for Emerging
Die Miloco Studiosession Gewinner stehen fest: Black Mountain Lights June 2015
Letzten Monat haben wir Euch in Zusammenarbeit mit Miloco erneut die Chance gegeben eine 2-tägige Recording Session in einem Miloco Studio zu gewinnen.
Wir sind glücklich nun die Gewinner bekannt geben zu dürfen, die von Miloco ausgewählt wurden und in die Fußstapfen der vorherigen Gewinner Deafkid und Black Foxxes treten. Herzlichen Glückwunsch Black Mountain Lights!
Wir haben die Band ein paar Fragen zu ihren Wünschen und Erwartungen gestellt:
Congratulations on winning the session! What made you apply?
We were actually looking at Miloco Studios quite recently, and then stumbled on the competition on the Sentric site. Thought it was worth a shot entering!
How do you usually prepare before a recording session?
Making sure everyone is as prepared as possible as time is money! The songs have to be as tight as possible and everyone has to be 100% confident with their parts. We listen to a lot of music and it always helps if we all bring along a reference track to make sure we are all on the same page with the sound we want from the recording.
What are you planning to record while in the studio?
We are already underway with the recording of the follow up to our debut EP 'Submarine'. So hopefully we can record a track for that new EP.
What do you want to achieve while in the recording studio?
As strange as it sounds we recorded the first EP in a cake factory; self-engineered and self-produced without the usual recording time constraints. This gave us the liberty to spend a lot of time creating the right sounds and ambience to fit the songs. I'd hope we can transfer that to the studio environment and achieve the right results within the time frame.
What are your plans for the next 12 months?
Looking forward to the release of our second EP followed by a tour.
How helpful are the royalties you earn from your works and performances?
Every little helps! being a DIY band we need to fund recording, CD production & touring costs. Any revenue we make from CD sales, royalties, gigs etc can quickly get swallowed up!

We travelled overnight from Stockholm to Tallinn as part of a few days holiday in that part of the world. The ferry was very comfortable (we had a double bed) and the shower was fantastic. The buffet was good value and quality, as was the breakfast. The entertainment was dire, but we didn't go for that!

Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and is spread across 14 islands in the south east of Sweden and lies at the mouth of Lake Malaren, by the Stockholm Archipelago and the Baltic Sea. There are many cultural institutions based in Stockholm and the region in general is home to three of Sweden's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These are the Drottningholm Palace, Skogskyrkogården (The Woodland Cemetery) and Birka. Stockholm was also named European Capital of Culture in 1998. With over 100 museums, Stockholm has one of the highest number of museums of any other world city. The Nationalmuseum is perhaps the most famous and contains the country's largest collection of art. It has some 16,000 paintings and 30,000 objects of art handicraft. The oldest items in the collection date back to the 16th century and has been expanded with works by artists such as Rembrandt and Antoine Watteau.
Stockholm's port is a major gateway to Sweden and is therefore an important port for both freight and passengers travelling to and from Finland, Russia and the Baltic States. The port is close to the city centre where all of the usual facilities you would expect to find in a major city are located.
The city of Tallinn is the largest city in Estonia, and its capital, and is a major hub for industry and regional politics. Visitors to the city will love indulging in the city's cultural offerings and visiting the many attractions on offer. Founded in the early part of the 13th century, Tallinn lies next to the Gulf of Finland and is home to an important sea port. Many aspects of the city are medieval, especially around the heritage listed Old Town area, with its maze of cobblestone alleys, many church spires and well preserved fortresses and turrets. The Toompea area of the city is where visitors will find many of the city's most unusual landmarks which includes Toompea Castle and the lovely hilltop Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, which is an important Orthodox building. Another popular attraction in Tallinn is the imposing 13th century Town Hall which overlooks Raekoja Plats and has a tall spire that is topped with an iconic bronze statue of a young boy which guards the city and is known as Old Thomas.

In Conversation with Novelist & Playwright Nathaniel Kressen, Lead of the Greenpoint Writer's Group
The name Nathaniel Kressen may ring a few bells to anyone familiar with the lit scene here in Greenpoint – he's the novelist and playwright who leads the Greenpoint Writer's Group and is preparing to launch his second novel, Dahlia Cassandra, at the Strand Bookstore this Friday, June 17th.
His first book, Concrete Fever, was a labor of love – literally. In true renegade fashion, he and Jessie T. Kressen – his wife and the illustrator for both books – co-founded Second Skin Books and hand-bound the first 250 copies, which proved to be an indie best seller at the Strand.
They collaborated again on Dahlia Cassandra and the result is an equally stunning work that features Jessie's dreamy artwork throughout. I spoke with Nathaniel about his upcoming book, his writing process, and what's near and dear to his heart in Brooklyn. Continue reading

I have a 2004 (54 plate) Vauxhall Meriva 16v 1.6 Life and the horn was working when I bought it a couple of months ago, but now it has stopped.
I've checked the fuse, it's fine, but someone mentioned something about a "horn switch" - where would I find that? And what else could cause the horn to suddenly not work?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A Jacksonville man has been sentenced
to life in prison for fatally shooting his roommate as they drove
home from a nightclub last fall.
A circuit judge handed down 36-year-old Harens Aleydi Erazo's
sentence Friday. A jury convicted of Eraza of second-degree murder
last month for killing 26-year-old Patrick Eugene Donnelly.
Prosecutors say the two men were returning from the Ocean Club in
Jacksonville Beach in September.
A woman in the car told police Donnelly joked about Erazo liking her, and Erazo shot Donnelly from the back seat.
Erazo's attorney had asked the judge for 25 years, the minimum sentence allowed for the crime.
The lawyer described Erazo as remorseful and blamed the shooting on cocaine and alcohol.

"Naquin the Chef looks determined without being ruthless. Something heroic in his manner. There's a courage about him. Comes across so calm. Acts like he has a dream. Full of passion. Well, you know why. Knock homers out of the box all the time. Pitches know his repertoire, big fly. Yeah, straight up, Naquin mess your whole team up. It's for real though, ball connect with stick, ditto. We could trade places, ball lifted run around the bases. Word up, peace, infatuated redfaces." I almost didn't write the title of the Naquin the Chef song, Infatuated Redfaces, but then I was like, "There's a team named Redskins and a mascot named Chief Wahoo, I think I'm all right." Yesterday, Tyler Naquin kept it going with the insane run he's been on — 3-for-4, 6 RBIs with two homers (11, 12). He now has six homers in the last ten games. That's six homers in July to go with his six homers in June. As I said back in spring training when I saw Naquin play, he had a nice stroke against righties, but looked kinda gnarly vs. lefties. Looks like a 17/17 player that needs to platoon. Right now, his power's way above that, but will likely come down to earth at some point. Of course, I'd still own him now. Word up, peace, infatuated redfaces. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

The other day the Astros signed the coveted Cuban refugee, Yulieski Gourriel. One time! Yulieski is as apple pie as a Canadian tenor group making a political statement during the All-Star Game. He's 32 years old. If he went by YuGo, that would make him the newest car in Cuba. "Bueno Model T, amigo! Now, tell me about this Ford Taurus I hear so much about." You know who a 32-year-old Cuban immediately reminds me of? Hector Olivera and Alex Guerrero. Sloppy comparison maybe. Hey, that gives me an idea. Whenever doing a sloppy comparison between players who just happen to be Cuban, we should call them Sloppy Jose's. We need a similar term for when making a sloppy comparison between Japanese players; please suggest in the comments. As for Gourriel, yeah, I don't see much here. I watched video of him, and he looks like a 15 HR, 6 SB, .260 hitter, which is Hector Olivera. I'm sorry, but those Sloppy Joses make sense sometimes. This Gourriel signing obviously delays Bregman's arrival, so boo, you mothereffer, boo. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
After swinging a deal for Aaron Hill on Wednesday, the Red Sox have beefed up their bullpen trading for Brad Ziegler. Ziegler was rocking a 2.82 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 18 saves with Arizona but he will likely be relegated to set up duty in Bean town. This is not to say his value is completely shot…yet. With Craig Kimbrel crying about his sore knee, Boston may be in need of an interim closer. Koji Uehara is the obvious first choice but his 4.96 ERA and 8 homers allowed in 32.2 IP make it seem like the choice ain't so obvious. Still Koji's 46/9 K/BB ratio makes me happy, and he notched the save Friday night (after surrendering a home run), so he's the best bet for saves if Kimbrel misses any time. As for your new closer in the land of the rising sun? Tyler Clippard is the most likely candidate if you need saves or a buzz cut. He's got a 3.06 ERA with 39 strikeouts over 32.1 IP, and saved 19 games for the Mets and A's last year, but his career 57% save conversion rate certainly doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence. Daniel Hudson is the ideal saves candidate in Zona but has struggled mightily over the past month (12.96 ERA, 2.40 WHIP in 8.1 innings). Regardless, if you need a save and a haircut, I'd grab Clippard and Hudson in that order. And if you're a Boston Red Sox team that desperately needs starting pitching, I'd recommend trading for a infielder and a relief pitcher.

Yesterday, Matt Harvey met with the Mets' front office and told them, "You ruined my shoulder! I was the Dark Knight! Now I'm 1960s Batman in hard-to-watch Technicolor unable to move my arms to do the Batusi!" Matt Harvey asked Bartolo if this ever happened to him and he said, "Nah, I am 90% jelly and custard. My nerves are coated in more sugar than a churro." Harvey needs shoulder surgery due to thoracic outlet syndrome. Sandy Alderson said it's inevitable. Pitchers who have had this surgery take at least a year to recover and sometimes never regain past form. It could not only be a season killer, it could be the end of Harvey as we know him. He could opt to rehab his shoulder without surgery, but rehabbing it won't magically make his pitching better than he's been all year, which is atrocious. If you don't have DL room, I could see dropping him. Fun fact! You know who suffered from thoracic outlet syndrome? The Lispasaurus. Tiny arms, big body. Other dinosaurs pickin' on 'em because of their lisp — why'd every dinosaur have to have an S sound in its name?! Total recipe for messed-up shoulders. "I hate Thoracic Park!" Spielberg can make a Thoracic Park movie where an injured pitcher tries to repair his relationship with his pre-teen son while genetically-modified dinosaurs chase after them. "I know I wasn't there for you when you were growing up or for your keeper league team in 2014 or for that velociraptor attack 15 minutes ago, but I'm here for you now." The boy looks up, "How did that velociraptor throw a Warthen slider?" The father responds, "He's learning!" Seth Smith is working on the script. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I love a good deal. If I'm going to a Pirates game and pay $20 under face value for tickets, I'm happy. How about a $2,000 TV from Best Buy for $1,200 on sale? That would make me ecstatic. Hell, I just bought Lay's Potato Chips (best chips ever, by the way) for $1.77 a bag. That's the family size bag! Talk about a great holiday bargain. On Tuesday night, there is one clear bargain that stands out and it must be exploited. Over his last four starts, Madison Bumgarner's DraftKings pricing has ranged from $12,800-$14,000. He faces the Rockies–at home–and is priced at $11,700. We all know how this game is played. If the game is at Coors Field, there is extreme risk involved. But, this game is being played in the friendly confines of AT&T Park. MadBum is both a cash and GPP option. Exploit this bargain–hopefully you can use the savings to buy some potato chips.

The sixth inning of every home Clayton Kershaw start isn't going to be the same. No longer will Angelenos be filing in as if it's the first, suddenly realizing that Kershaw is pitching, but now they will be stuck talking about everything but baseball for the entirety of the game and not simply 95% of it. "Ma, can I keep score on the back of my headshot?" "We're not here to see the game, Timmy, we're here to run into commercial directors. This is where Stew's mom got him that Tropicana commercial. You want to pay my bills, don't you?" "Sorry, ma." Like the oral sex scene in The World According to Garp, it's a devastating blow losing Kershaw for any amount of time. He was diagnosed with a herniated disc, but won't require surgery. The Dodgers are hoping he's back (poor choice of words) from the DL right after the All-Star Game. I'd pray with you, but I'm using my hands to clap for not drafting a pitcher in the 1st round. The Dodgers did pick up Bud Norris in a trade to fill in. Won't see any fall off there! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Sup, readers of the Razz. Normally I lead with a pitcher call that I think is undervalued and sometimes I lead with a bat if said bat has enough to talk about with them. Don't worry, I get paid by the word so you'll never have to worry about me not having too much to say about anything. And yet, here we are. I'm speechless. This late slate of pitching has two beautiful scenarios at a high price and a whole lot of dreck. Ricky Nolasco is $7,100. He's the seventh best pitcher, according to DK pricing. The world hates us, fam. I'll have some points per dollar calls in the pitching today but in reality, pay up for the big two in cash and play in lots of tourneys with some bad arms elsewhere. Did I get you excited?!? Boy howdy! Ok, ok, let's do this. Here's my cover your hair and eyes hot taeks for this Wednesday DK slate…

On Saturday, Michael Conforto was demoted to the minors. Ouch. Not only did he fall far from preseason expectations, but he seemed to be breaking out in April. Coming out of April, he had 4 HRs and a .365 average. In May and June, he hit .169 and .119 and, finally, the Mets threw in the towel just as Conforto's head was bouncing on the canvas. Shame, isn't it? Not a shame, a product of not being able to hit. I'm sure he'll be back at some point, but you can drop him in all but the deepest dynasty leagues. In his place came, Brandon Nimmo. Okay, let's get them out of the way up front. The Mets are finding Nimmo in a sea of prospects. The Mets aren't finding Drury because he's on a different team. Is Nimmo the Mets' outfield fixar? That's a clown fish question, bro. Nimmo's minor league numbers look dynamite, but that's because he was playing in the PCL, which is like playing on the moon with an aluminum bat. He had five homers, five steals and a .331 average. That seems to be his profile more or let's be generous, maybe 10/15/.280. Sounds downright Lagaresque. Outside of deep mixed leagues and NL-Only, I'd ignore for now. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
It feels like only yesterday J.D. Martinez injured himself, and it was yesterday if you were roofied. In his place, Steven Moya is filling in admirably. Yesterday, he went Yardo Montalban as he Tattooed the ball two times. Da plane, da plane…is flying right next to Moya's homers! My dear guests! I am Mr. Albright, your host. Welcome… to Fantasy Baseball! Smiles, everyone, smiles! No, seriously, smile, you paid a lot of money for those caps. Moya now has three homers in his last three games, and if baseball is a game of inches, Moya's got a lot of 'em. 79 inches to be exact. Not saying he's John Holmes, he's six-seven and looks like an easy 35-homer hitter. I watched him hit a ball the other way and he was like, "Yeah, okay, I guess I'll hit this one out." He looks like the kind of guy that could twelve homers in a month. If you're power-starved, or just bored and wanna pick up a new player, I'd grab Moya. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
A little rest never hurt anyone, right? The Marlins had this secret preseason plan to rest Jose Fernandez during the season and it happened to fall during his last scheduled start. Well, guess what? He's back! Fernandez is a machine. He's filthy, he's dominant, and he's mowing down the competition like Clayton Kershaw; only he's right-handed and gets paid a lot less. Fernandez leads the league with a 13.2 K/9. That equals out to 118 strikeouts in 80.2 innings pitched. His opponent, the Braves, are just so, so bad. Collectively, they're batting .235 and Fernandez is going to make them look absolutely silly. The only caveat here is that you're going to have to use just over 27 percent of your salary just to roster him with a $13,700 price tag. Nevertheless, it's not even a big risk given the opponent. Ole! Use Jose!

Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address.

Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Do-it-yourself projects and plans for anyone who can swing a hammer.

question to readers, solar water heater
The idea of heating water with the power of the sun is as old as … the Earth! But capturing that energy to efficiently heat water for domestic use is a more recent innovation. You can purchase and install manufactured solar hot water systems or build one yourself. Beginning in 2010, all new-house construction in Hawaii will be required to have solar water heaters.
Rather than a whole-house system, you can erect a simple outdoor, solar-heated shower.
MOTHER EARTH NEWS readers have been inventing ways to produce solar-heated water for decades. Have you built a solar water heater? If so, in the comments section below, tell us about it and how well it performed.

I have a c# web application where I need to dynamically generate controls, and where the actions on the controls also affect which controls will be rendered. Imagine for example a list of buttons, where each button should remove itself (and its reference in the database). I have the feeling I don't understand something quite basic here (at least it should be)
I would like to use event handlers here. However, the question is then where should I generate the controls, in Page_Load or PreRender? If I generate them in page_load the event handlers haven't fired yet so the generated content isnt up to date yet. I can also generate it in PreRender but then the event handlers don't fire because the controls dont exist yet.
What would be the preferred way of handling this? I really want to avoid the option to modify the generated content later, it is way too error-prone in my case. I would like to generate all content from scratch, right after the events have been handled. Currently I solve this partially by examining the request.form before the generation of the controls but I have quite a lot of actions and it's not really a workable solution in quite some cases already.

Red Sox Outfielder Ellsbury Placed on DL With Injured Shoulder
Boston Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a partial dislocation of his right shoulder, General Manager Ben Cherington said.
The Red Sox yesterday recalled outfielder Che-Hsuan Lin from Triple-A Pawtucket.
Ellsbury, 28, sustained a shoulder subluxation during the fourth inning of the Red Sox's 12-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on April 13. During the first seven games of the season, he was 5-for-26 with two doubles, three runs batted in, four runs and four walks.
Lin, 23, in his first Major League Baseball appearance yesterday, has played in six games with the minor-league club this season. He was 3-for-20 with a double, home run, three walks and a stolen base. A native of Taiwan, Lin signed with the Red Sox as an international free agent on June 8, 2007.

Gastronomic mini-cruise: Dining in Bruges and Winchester on a weekend break
A mini-cruise is a wonderful way to slip another trip into your holiday year. Take a Friday off to embark on two nights aboard a ship, with every sort of entertainment and bars galore, and you can have a day out in the compact and pretty city of Bruges in between.
But whenever I've done it, when Sunday morning comes and we have to vacate our cabins by 8am, I find myself thinking what a shame it is that the weekend has come to such an abrupt halt in Southampton.
So this time, with all of Sunday ahead of us, I came up with the perfect solution: not to dash off home but, with a little planning, create a twin-centre city break of a day in Bruges and a day in Winchester, with added dashes of Michelin stardom to give the weekend extra sparkle.
Striking architecture: The Markt square in Bruges
Check-in at Southampton's Ocean Cruise Terminal opened at 12.30 on Friday so my friend Michael and I were on board P&O's Ventura in time for lunch in the Waterside self-service restaurant before exploring the ship, which was filled with live music from the three-deck-high atrium to the sun deck. As the captain announced from the bridge, this was a party cruise.
I escaped to the tranquil atmosphere of the Oasis Spa where Sheree from Pretoria promised to make me look ten years younger. Renee, also from South Africa, then gave me my fastest (and longest-lasting) blow-dry ever, so I could be present and correct at 4pm lifeboat drill.
Sleek voyage: The P&O ship Ventura
Soon it was time to set sail, and we were seen off by a silver band playing on the quayside, as waiters patrolled the promenade deck offering half-price champagne. Taking my youthful visage and groomed locks up to Metropolis, at the giddy heights of Deck 18, we had drinks before dinner in The White Room - the brainchild of Marco Pierre White - where, for a supplement of £30 per person, they serve Italian and French dishes adapted to appeal to British palates.
We spied Marco himself at a neighbouring table nursing a glass of bitter. He was signing the menus of star-struck diners, brought over to him by obliging waiters.
Personal touch: Marco Pierre White chats to diners in his restaurant aboard the Ventura
While others, including the many merry hen parties, danced the night away and tried their luck in the casino, we retired before midnight to wake refreshed at Zeebrugge, ready for our day in Bruges.
Our coach dropped us close to the traffic-free centre of the tiny, quaint Belgian city. To beat the crowds we headed first to the gothic Church Of Our Lady to be the first of the day to stand in awe and wonder before Michelangelo's delicate, marble sculpture Madonna and Child, believed to be the only of his artworks to leave Italy in his lifetime.
Crossing the street, we popped into the St John's Hospital Museum to see the six religious paintings of Hans Memling, the 15th Century German artist who found fame and fortune in Bruges. Then it was time to start the serious business of chocolate shopping.
Passing the scores of confectioners that line the cobbled streets and crossing the huge Markt square, we went for the best. BbyB in Sint Amandsstraat is a new chocolate shop that looks more like a laboratory. Chef Bart Desmidt, who has a Michelin-starred restaurant, Bartholemeus, in the seaside town of Heist, has now made his delicious and daring flavour combinations - such as white chocolate, passion fruit and basil; and dark chocolate, caramel and sea salt - available to all in sleek boxes of five for just four euros. I bought a five-box assortment.
After a tasty lunch in nearby modern-Flemish Bistro De Pompe, it was a pleasant stroll along the canals and through Minnewaterpark to our coach back to the ship.
Picture postcard: Bruges's Memling Museum provides a scenic backdrop
Next morning, we disembarked promptly after breakfast and it took only half an hour to drive to the centre of Winchester, arriving in time to attend 9.45am Matins in the cathedral.
Highly-rated: The Black Rat in Winchester
We sat and soaked up the magnificent architecture of the vaulted nave - without paying the £6.50 entrance fee charged to tourists. After a wander past Winchester College and Wolvesey Castle, a pleasant stroll on a footpath over the river brought us to The Black Rat restaurant.
We were here for the food, our curiosity aroused by the award of a Michelin star this year, and the knowledge that many of the ingredients come from the restaurant's own allotment. The Sunday lunch menu, at only £23.50 for three courses and £19.50 for two, proved astonishingly good value. A leisurely Sunday afternoon of gastronomy and good wine was the perfect end to a real weekend away.
Travel facts
P&O Cruises (0845 355 5333, www.pocruises.co.uk) offers six weekend mini-cruises a year from Southampton. The next two-night cruise aboard Ventura is on March 20, 2012, costing from £199 per person.

Irrigating Wheat
for Irrigating
Cereal Grains
Cereal grains provide basic resources for feeding the world. The various cereal types require a wide range of water management tools, but they all will see improved production when irrigated properly. Nelson Irrigation Corporation provides those tools to help improve your production.
Since the evolution of irrigation and the first flood systems, automated irrigation has been the tool to save water, save energy, and save labor. Today, cereal crops are irrigated in many ways. The wheel line, towline, and Solid Set markets benefit from Nelson's Rotator® technology because of improved uniformity, longevity, ease of repair, and reduced operating cost. Mechanized irrigation systems like the Center Pivot provide a platform for maximized production when used in conjunction with the appropriate 3000 Rotator Series Sprinkler. When used with a Traveling system or Solid Set, the Big Gun® provides a unique solution for irrigating oddly shaped fields.
The art and science of irrigation relies on a combination of planning and technology to reduce surface sealing and runoff. With Nelson products, you can maximize your return on investment!
