Nine after 9 for May 12, 2012
Rattlers 2
Cougars 1
FINAL – 11 Innings
Boxscore | Game Story
- Matt Miller tonight: 6IP, 4H, R, 0ER, 0BB, K. Matt Miller, Last four starts: 25IP, 16H, 7R, 6ER, 5BB, 16 K. The movement on the fastball was there tonight but the offspeed stuff is really coming around for him.
- He is in control, too. In one full season and six weeks, Miller has made 29 appearances – 28 starts – for the Rattlers. Here is a list of the times he has walked no batters in an appearance: 6/27/11 over 1.2IP at Peoria, 8/30/11 over 6.0IP v. Cedar Rapids, and Saturday night in Kane County.
- Chadwin Stang made an amazing catch in the first inning Jorge Bonifacio. It was a full out dive to rob Bonifacio of an RBI and at least a double. Pitchers need plays like that.
- Tyler Roberts with a nice at bat to get Ben McMahan home from second in the fifth inning for a 1-0 lead. The Kane County defense was shaded a bit like the Cubs were on Friday night when Corey Hart his the game winning single in the bottom of the thirteenth. Not as severely – the second baseman wasn't on the left side of second base – but there was still a hole and Roberts found it and the Rattlers had their first run.
- If he had it to do over again, I think that Greg Hopkins would have run the ball in to the mound or thrown to the plate instead of throwing behind the runner to third base in the bottom of the fifth. The situation would have been first and third with two outs instead of a run in on the wild throw by Macias.
- Welcome back, Tommy Toledo. He had not pitched since May 2, but he was there on Saturday when the Rattlers needed him. He tossed four innings, walked two, struck out one…and that's all.
- A couple of notes on Macias. He absolutely crushed a ball in the top of the eighth and the ball did not carry. It just stopped. It was a cooler night down here…probably 58…, but I thought he hit it. Then, he made a great pick on a hard grounder in the bottom of the ninth in a tough spot. First and second with one out and Orlando Calixte at the plate. Here are a few notes on the back story of that play: Data point A.) Calixte had a walkoff hit for the Cougars on Friday night in their comeback win over Clinton. Data point B.) Macias had missed a similar grounder in the bottom of the ninth inning in a game at South Bend back on April 22. Data point C.) The Rattlers have lost a lot – I mean A LOT – of really, really, really tough games on walkoffs here in Kane County in the past. But, Toledo executed the pitch he wanted and Macias started a text book 5-4-3 double play to send the game to extra innings. Let's go to the Win Probability Inquirer to show how big that play was. By turning that double play, Macias turned a 69.87% chance of the Cougars winning the game into a 50-50 proposition. That's a pretty big play.
- The Rattlers rally in the top of the 11th was all about getting a bat on the ball and being patient. Jason Rogers smacked a single through the middle on an 0-1 pitch. Nick Ramirez drew a four pitch walk. Greg Hopkins with the butcher boy/slash bunt play to find a hole in the defense to load the bases with no outs. Then, it was up to Ben McMahan to get the run in from third. You can't do that by striking out…At least, I'm pretty sure…Where was I? Oh, right putting the ball in play. When the team got back to the hotel I found myself waiting for the elevator in the lobby with manager Matt Erickson. He noted that the Cougars have the worst defense in the league…It's true…It's darn true…Their fielding percentage after the game is at .953 and the bobble by Mateo that let Rogers score the go ahead run was the 64th of the season by the Cougars. Make them make a play.
- Seth Harvey must need a couple of base runners on to focus. Tonight was his thirteenth appearance of the season. He has retired the first batter he has faced seven times. He has allowed at least one base runner in 12 of his 13 games. The only game that he retired all the hitters he faced was on May 9. That was the game the Rattlers led Quad Cities 8-5 in the top of the ninth inning and there were already two runners on with one out. Harvey struck out both batters in that game. On Saturday against the Cougars it was walk, stolen base, single. Then, K, K, 3U to close it out. Not that I'm complaining. I don't get as much exercise as I should. Need to get my heart rate up there somehow. Final thought on Harvey: Strikeout to walk ratio: 22:3. He's been getting into trouble, but he has shown that he has the stuff to get himself out of trouble.

Earlier this summer I had the opportunity to participate in seminars with friends and benefactors of Thomas Aquinas College. The theme of the seminars was "The Year of Faith: Marriage and the Family," an appropriate topic, we thought, in light of our conviction that the traditional view of marriage is solidly grounded in both faith and reason, despite the drumbeat to the contrary we hear from politicians, the courts, the media, and popular culture.
In those seminars we considered three texts. The first, A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen dramatizes, if you will, a modern marriage which comes to an end when a wife and mother abandons her husband and children to pursue her own fulfillment and self-realization. The second, What is Marriage? by Robert George, Sherif Girgis, and Ryan Anderson presents a cogent philosophical defense of traditional marriage, emphasizing permanence and exclusivity. The third, Familiaris Consortio by Bl. John Paul II, presents a profound theological meditation on the sacramental significance of marriage and its ordination to children, family life, and the sanctification of the partners.
In preparing remarks for today's Convocation, it occurred to me that in the course of your studies here you will encounter many marriages, not all of which will be examples of Christian fidelity and commitment. In the first month or so alone of your matriculation at the College, you will read of Odysseus' lengthy extramarital dalliance with Circe and Clytaemestra's murder of her husband, Agamemnon.
When it comes to family life, you will read of Creon's entombment of his niece, Antigone; Orestes' murder of his mother, Clytaemestra, to avenge Agamemnon's death; and The Republic's apparent recommendation that children be taken from their parents and raised in common.
All of this, of course, comes well before the junior year, when Othello kills his wife, Desdemona, and Lady Macbeth prods her husband to murder the king. As I recall, there are several dysfunctional marriages in King Lear as well.
It's not all bad, however. This year, you will also meet Hector's loving wife, Andromache, and Odysseus' faithful wife, Penelope. In your senior year, Pierre will marry Natasha toward the end of Tolstoy's War and Peace, and I suspect they will have many children and live happily ever after.
Of greater importance are the exemplary marriages you will observe in Sacred Scripture. For example, Abraham marries Sarah and becomes the father of faith and of God's chosen people, while Mary and Joseph wed in obedience to the will of God and together provide a home for the savior of the world.
As some of my examples illustrate, not all of the literary works you will read in your four years at Thomas Aquinas College — where we place such emphasis on reading and discussing the greatest works of our civilization — will be immediately edifying or obviously illustrative of the truths of the Catholic faith. In the words of our founding document, however, "the greatest works of literature, insofar as they appeal to the imagination and move the affections, are peculiarly accessible to the young, while at the same time they present or imply profoundly important views of human life and of reality as a whole."
As you read the works of literature in our program, you must learn to be alert to the circumstances surrounding the central action, the reasons for, and the consequences of the choices the protagonists make. (As Aristotle says, "whenever such-and-such a personage says or does such-and-such a thing, it shall be the necessary or probable outcome of his character.") You must also consider the overall arc of the characters' moral development. It is surely one thing for an author to depict horrific or immoral actions as horrific or immoral; it is quite another to depict such actions as admirable or sympathetic.
The reality an author is trying to represent may, in fact, be the reality of evil, together with its causes and consequences. The more truthfully or believably the author presents these things, the more clearly will you be able to grasp his view of human nature, and the more deeply and properly will you be moved by his work. Reading such literature — and, conversely, reading literature which depicts good or admirable actions — can play a very important role in the acquisition of Christian virtue, both moral and intellectual.
It is well to remember also that what you are undertaking at this college is Catholic liberal education, with all that that implies. In the words of our founding document again, "the Catholic, in the very act of his belief, has also found the teachers who will define and explain what he believes, show him its consequences, and rectify his whole intellectual life as well.… [T]he believer embraces at once Christ as the supreme teacher and the successors of St. Peter and the Apostles as altogether truthful and divinely appointed interpreters of His teachings." At Thomas Aquinas College not all great books or great authors are created equal; our founding document continues, "[many] papal encyclicals make it plain that the perennial wisdom is to be studied through the works of the great masters themselves, and above all through the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas."
While literature plays a vital role in Catholic liberal education, a truly sapiential role is reserved to the philosophical and theological works, including Sacred Scripture, which are the focal points of the College's curriculum. Always remain open to the movements of mind and heart occasioned by the greatest literature, but let the works read in the philosophy and theology tutorials be your touchstones over the next four years, for they will most dependably lead you closer to God and to a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith, including, by the way, its teachings about the beauty and goodness of sacramental marriage.
Thank you.

Nice hostel, great garden. Was off season, so some of the days I spent there were really quiet. The only things I'd mention is that the rooms aren't cleaned everyday, and it was really cold at night, so you need a lot more than the thin fleeces they give you.
Hello, We do the cleaning every day, but if you felt the dorm wasn't fresh enough we are sorry for this. If you were cold at night that was just a matter of asking us for more blankets or turning up the heating (available in every room of the hostel)!

A proper chilled place which felt homely. There's loads of spaces to hang around both inside and out. Clean kitchen, friendly staff, and a varied breakfast. Our double was huge and included AC for heating. Even if there's not much to see in Asuncion, the hostel made our trip feel worthwhile.

Rep. Tammy Baldwin Spending Congressional Recess Vacationing In Afghanistan
It'll be the first venture to Afghanistan for Rep. Tammy Baldwin, the Wisconsin Democrat, who says she's embarking on a "fact-finding trip, which will provide me with opportunities to visit with the troops, including Wisconsin troops." She's going with five other lawmakers. All of them dudes.

Years later, he watched his sons Jim and John participate in sports at his alma mater, including the undefeated football team on which Jim starred and the success John had as a running back in football and as a state champion pole vaulter in track.
Now it's the grandchildren's turn. They're on the football field, basketball court and track at Gobles and Lawton high schools, and playing on the collegiate level at Hope and Kalamazoo colleges.
"Sports kept me in school ... and I'm sure it's the same for a lot of kids today," said Dietrich, 70. He is retired from Roy's Home Center, the Gobles business he started nearly 40 years ago that is now run by his sons.
Not only has Dietrich watched his children and grandchildren play sports, but he also has contributed generously to the Gobles Public Schools. This month, he was inducted into the Gobles Public Schools Academic Hall of Fame.
"He has been an active and generous supporter of the athletic program at Gobles schools, particularly helping to fund the press box construction," local physician Bill Kube and his wife, Rachel, wrote in nominating Dietrich for the honor. "Along with another community member, he purchased new football jerseys for the varsity team several different years."
"I'm a firm believer in athletics," Dietrich said. "It builds more than muscle; it builds character."
But Dietrich's support of the schools runs even deeper, according to the Kubes.
"Roy has not confined his financial support to athletics, ... (but also has been) a very generous donor to the Gobles Public Schools Foundation," they wrote.
He also sat on the Gobles school board for three years in the 1970s.
Success through hard work
For Dietrich, success in athletics starts before students get to high school. That's why he and others in the community started a rocket football program in Gobles several years ago.
Similarly, he has found, success in business results from years of hard work. Not long after graduating from Gobles High School in 1958, Dietrich began working for Hartford Homes, a mobile home construction company in Kalamazoo. He eventually became plant superintendent.
Around 1970, he became a partner in Stoney's Mobile Home Sales in Gobles. A couple of years later, he launched Roy's Home Center on M-40 south of Gobles in partnership with his wife, Diane.
"I started out with a piece of plywood for a sign," said Dietrich, who recalls working six 12-hour days a week during those early years.
"When I'd make a profit, I'd put it right back in the business," he said.
Roy and Diane, who will celebrate 50 years of marriage in October, remain involved in the enterprise. With some of their six grandchildren also participating, it has become a three-generation business.
Roy's has gone from selling single-wide mobile homes to marketing everything from double-wides to two-story modular homes. With the home market struggling recently, they have added recreational vehicles to the mix.
"To think, when I started at Hartford Homes in '61 or '62, from those little cracker-jack boxes to two-story homes," he marveled, "it's come a long way."

Charges are rising as interest rates stall at troubled institutions
New Brighton resident Dorothy Thompson was shocked to learn she was charged $33 by her bank for a $4 Starbucks coffee when she used a debit card to buy the Java on an overdrawn account.
That's because instead of declining the coffee purchase, her bank recently approved the charge and others, funded the transactions and then hit Ms. Thompson with overdraft fees for each purchase -- $165 in total -- before she even realized the account was overdrawn.
That's when she learned her new account had what's often known in the industry as an automatic "courtesy overdraft or bounce policy" for electronic transfers. That means the bank will pay for debit charges or approve an ATM withdrawal even on an overdrawn checking account, and then implement the fees.
And those overdraft fees and other bank charges, already on the rise, are only expected to go higher as banks try to offset losses in other areas. Bankrate.com recently reported that banking fees, balance requirements for checking accounts and ATM costs are rising while interest earnings on checking accounts are not.
Ms. Thomspon said she fought hard with Sovereign Bank to remove the "courtesy overdraft" feature from her account. After threatening to close two other accounts at the bank, management agreed to remove the feature.
"As far as I'm concerned it's extortion," she said of the policy during a recent interview.
Meanwhile, Sovereign Bank's overdraft fee increased last week to $35, an amount the bank said is line with its peer banks in New York.
"The best way for any customer to avoid overdraft fees is to have sufficient funds in the customer's account to cover all transactions the customer makes. In addition to keeping an updated register, which is the best way of keeping track of what funds a customer has in her account, Sovereign provides many options for a customer to monitor transaction activity as well s the current balance in the customers' account," Edward Shultz, a spokesman for the bank, said in an e-mail.
Shultz said the overdraft convenience feature on checking accounts and electronic purchases has been in effect since 2002. He said it's a way to spare customers the embarrassment of being rejected for a purchase or allow them to obtain cash when they have an urgent need for it but are overdrawn on an account.
He said the majority of people who don't use the service typically sign up for an overdraft protection service or maintain sufficient funds in their account.
But enough people have complained about banks' overdraft convenience features on ATM withdrawals and debit purchases that the Federal Reserve Board is now proposing changing the system.
The board has drafted a new rule that could be approved by the end of the year and would give customers a chance to either opt in or out of the automatic overdraft protection on electronic funds like ATM withdrawals and single debit purchases.
Overdraft policies for checks and recurring debits, or the kind of big bills that are automatically deducted from checking accounts each month, would not be subject to the change.
"In most cases, consumers are automatically enrolled in overdraft services," said a spokeswoman for the Federal Reserve Board. "These proposals give greater control over payment of overdraft fees."
But the best way for people to combat ever increasing bank fees is simply by focusing on ways to avoid those charges.
Greg McBride, a senior financial analyst with Bankrate.com, a personal finance web site, said consumers should try as much as possible to use their own bank's ATM. That's because ATM charges for noncustomers have more than doubled over the last 10 years.
He also advises people to sign up for on-line alerts from their bank when their account gets low. And he said customers can request that their savings accounts be linked to their checking account as a way to provide overdraft protection if the latter is overdrawn. It's a low cost protection banks don't always advertise, he said.
"As consumers we really have to be on our toes because banks have placed increased emphasis on fee income that will continue to go into overdrive given the broader financial climate," he said.
"Most of these things are avoidable if you pay attention or modify certain behaviors," he added.

People often ask me where I like to eat in New Orleans when money is no object. I generally point them to a number of restaurants that made my most recent list of the Top 10 restaurants in town.
I'd also never discourage anyone from driving to Birmingham, Ala., for a meal at Highlands Bar & Grill.
But I'm here to suggest you consider some foolishness. A meal that requires you purchase a plane ticket and at least a night or two of lodging. Think Big.
It's tax season. For some of you this means writing a check. You have my condolences.
For others, it means receiving a check, maybe even a large one. If that's you, and you happen to be in the position to not need the money to pay outstanding or upcoming bills, I have thoughts on amusing ways for making the windfall disappear.
I thought Big last year. I was recently reminded as much as I went through a year's worth of dining receipts while preparing my taxes.
I can suggest you book a trip east to visit Craigie on Main, in Cambridge, Mass., or Fore Street, up in Portland, Maine, my two favorite restaurants in New England.
You could head south to San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Jose Enrique, which reminds me of nothing so much as a Latin-Caribbean Uglesich's.
There's a restaurant attached to a gas station outside Marrakech that bakes flatbread as good as Domenica's pizzas.
In August, on a trip we took before moving back to New Orleans, I ate at what many accept to be the Best Restaurant in the World. They accept it because San Pellegrino sponsors an annual poll resulting in a list of the World's Best Restaurants, which is published in Restaurant Magazine. A new list will be revealed later this month. Last year's No. 1 restaurant was El Celler de Can Roca. It's in Girona, Spain. The food is startlingly original. We were served dessert on sculptures that moved, as if they were breathing.
I could go on about El Celler de Can Roca, which is amazing, but it's not the place I'd most recommend flying to Spain to eat at.
The most memorable meal I had last year was at Restaurante Rekondo, in San Sebastian, a reasonable drive from Bilbao, which is to Spain's Basque Country what Lafayette is to Cajun country.
San Sebastian is known for its modernist cuisine. Two San Sebastian restaurants, Mugaritz and Arzak, were ranked No. 4 and 8, respectively, on last year's Pellegrino list.
Rekondo isn't like those places. It's an old dairy and cidery that its owners converted into a steakhouse in the 1960s, although it's something much more than that now. Galatoire's is my reference point for old restaurants that haven't lost vitality. So imagine if Galatoire's had a tree-shaded patio overlooking the Bay of Biscay, a 150,000 bottle wine cellar and no visiting Texans.
We were at Rekondo for lunch. The weather was obnoxiously pleasant. We ate piquillo peppers stuffed with oxtail and grilled, fresh-caught scallops in a coriander cream sauce made with the shellfish's juices. There were eggs scrambled with wild cèpes, which our waiter plated tableside; hake fillets cooked with parsley, peas and clams; and a really old bottle of Bodegas Bilbainas Cepa de Oro.
El Celler de Can Roca tasted like the future. I look forward to seeing if chef Philip Lopez brings a similar flavor to New Orleans with his ambitious new restaurant Square Root.
Rekondo tasted like Spain. I'd go back now if I could.

Taxi and Talk Page
Two things.
- The reason I reverted it is because the template at the top saying that it is concerning an unreleased game means it is concerning GTA V aswell, which is unreleased. I didn't notice all the other things you did so I'm sorry about them and maybe you can put those back.
- All the info on your talk page should be on your User Page instead, just copy and paste it. The Talk Page is for messages, not personal info.

I've seen your latest edits, and you look like a good editor. You have my blessing.
About the "unreleased", leave it like that until any more info about the taxis shows up.
About the tone, I can see through your webcam...nah, I'm sorry, my bad, I thought you waren't being too respectful.

Derek Jeter is the rare New York sports icon whose enemies you could count on one hand — plus another thumb and pinky, maybe.
He's almost universally loved, as evidenced by the cheers he's gotten at every stadium the Yankees have visited since he said 2014 would be his final season.
But that doesn't mean everybody would want to be there when Jeter blows out the candles on his 40th birthday cake Thursday. And it definitely doesn't mean he'd want all of us around, either.
Here are seven people who probably didn't get an RSVP for the celebration.

The Litquake festival works to foster a thriving literary community and to complement the city's music, film, and cultural festivals. It started as a one-day event in 1999, and has since grown to be a 9-day festival that includes national and international authors, and holds events to please an array of interests and age groups. It is currently the largest independent literary festival on the West Coast of the U.S.; and, while Litquake began in San Francisco, it now hosts localized Lit Crawls in New York, Austin, and will debut in several new cities this year.

Reed Richards Defeats Magneto With Wooden Gun – X-Men, First Class
In honor in the upcoming summer blockbuster movies that we'll all go to see and not download, here is an old clip where the Fantastic Four's Reed Richards is pitted agaist the all mighty Magneto. X-Men, First Class, will tell the story of young Professor X and Magneto and their first class of evolution agenda mutants from Marvel Comics.
This fantasy film makes Magneto seem like a great mastermind, but keep in mind kids, just like the theory of evolution, which proposes that one day humans will evolve into magical beings who can shoot magic unicorn happiness from horns we evolve on our heads all the way to fly like a bird, Magneto is equally stupid in getting defeated by a wooden gun. Really.

Last week, while driving sixty miles per hour on I-170, I noticed a truck loaded with road tar rapidly moving into my driving lane from the right. I jammed on the brakes to avoid an accident. Passing the truck on its right, I noticed the driver was talking on his cell phone oblivious to the accident he nearly caused. Recently, my wife observed a school bus driver with a full load of children taking a left hand turn while talking on a cell phone.
This weeks Sunday New York Times published an in-depth article on the dangers of driving while being distracted by using a cell phone or text messaging. According to the article, only five states ban the use of hand held cell phones while driving. Missouri bans the use of cell phones by novice drivers while Illinois bans the use of cell phones by school bus drivers. The Times article points out that research shows that the use of non-hand held cell phones by drivers is just as distracting as the hand held devices.
It is time that the respective state legislatures of both Missouri and Illinois, with the support of their governors, study seriously this problem. I believe that the use of all cell phones while driving should be banned in both states.

Fort Dodge, IA (ABC9 News) - Attorneys will spent Friday afternoon arguing about whether the confession of an Iowa man charged in the shooting death of a Rockwell City police officer should be allowed during the trial.
Corey Trott, 33, is accused of killing Officer Jamie Buenting on September 13th. Court records say Trott shot Buenting in the neck with a high-powered rifle during an hours-long standoff at Trott's house. Law enforcement officers were trying to arrest Trott after he'd attacked his mother.
The motion to suppress claims Trott's constitutions rights were violated during an interview six hours after his arrest, during which Trott admitted to shooting Buenting. Defense attorneys argue that Trott shouldn't have been interviewed again after telling a state trooper he did not want to talk.
The prosecution argues Trott was read his Miranda rights three times before he made the confession, and also waived his right to have an attorney present.
The judge said he will review transcripts from the hearing before making a decision.
Trott's first-degree murder trial is scheduled to start in Clarion on Sept. 2.

Good news: Venues like historic mansions, country clubs, and university facilities typically host just one function at a time, so not only will you and your guests have the entire place to yourselves, your vendors will have more flexibility when it comes to setup and breakdown, preventing overtime fees and load-in nightmares. At the majority of these locations, you'll find stunning architecture and opulent interiors, which will add an air of elegance to your wedding and minimize the cost of d�cor. Built-in lighting and sound systems are also money-savers.
Bad news: Approved vendor lists are the norm, so make sure that any vendors the venue requires you to use are up to your standards (for example, schedule a tasting with the caterer). With many private clubs, you'll need to either be a member, or be sponsored by someone who is. In the case of historic mansions and estates, there may be strict rules about what parts of the house can and can't be used, noise levels, and moving any d�cor or artwork. Private event spaces can also be on the pricier side, thanks to on-site liquor licenses, rental fees, and security deposits.Prestige/Barkley Photographic Design

If you can afford them, BlackBox's M14 noise-cancelling headphones do a good job of blocking out unwanted background sounds. Audio occasionally feels closed-in and not as expansive as we'd hoped, however.
The Phitek BlackBox M14 closed headphones deliver active noise cancellation powered by a single AAA battery. They are well constructed and reasonably comfortable for long-term listening sessions, and their sound is versatile enough for a range of musical styles. Audio can feel closed-in at times due to the design, but if you can live with this then you'll be pleased with these headphones.
Phitek is a long-term player in the active noise cancellation market and supplies noise-cancelling headphones to Singapore Airlines' first-class passengers. The BlackBox M14 is one of the company's first consumer-oriented products.
With a combination of rubberised and painted plastic for the ear-cups and soft leatherette for the ear-pads and headband, the BlackBox M14 headphones feel well constructed. The oval-shaped ear-cups take a few seconds to adjust on your ears, but the telescoping headband makes fitting the headphones easy. At 180g these headphones are light enough to wear for long periods, although the leatherette finish does get sweaty after a while — so quick breaks might be required.
Noise cancelling is activated by a switch on the left ear-cup. Phitek claims the headphones offer a reduction of up to 22dB on sub-1kHz frequencies — as with most active noise-cancelling solutions low frequency noise is effectively eliminated but higher frequencies are harder to equalise. The noise cancelling is quite effective, successfully removing the ambient noise in an office environment without adversely affecting audio quality. A very slight high frequency hiss was introduced but it was only audible when no music was playing.
Sound quality from the Phitek BlackBox M14 headphones is good, with bass and higher treble frequencies well covered. These headphones have a lively sound, with mid-range that is slightly recessed in favour of deep bass kicks and clean treble. The soundstage of the headphones is not as expansive as we were hoping. It's common for closed active noise cancelling headphones to exhibit a "canned" sound; while it's more than bearable we would have preferred the BlackBox M14 headphones to have more detailed stereo imaging.
According to Phitek an AAA battery is good for 40 hours of noise cancelling, so you won't be changing batteries daily. You will need to remember to switch them off, however, or replacing batteries could become a costly endeavour.
If you can afford them (and the ongoing running costs), Phitek's BlackBox M14 headphones do a good job of blocking out background noise and provide adequate sound quality.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Irons opposition to SS "marriage" is also very interesting … but not something that the gay propagandists at The Blaze will mention …
(same interview – April 2013) Irons was asked by Huffpost Live host Jeff Zepps his opinion on the fight for same-sex marriage in the United States. Irons responded, "Could a father not marry his son?" Zepps responded with an argument that laws against incest prevent such a union. Irons argued that "it's not incest between men. Incest is there to protect us from inbreeding, but men don't breed," and wondered whether same-sex marriage might allow fathers to bequeath their estates to their sons to avoid taxation. On the issue of advocates calling for same-sex marriage as opposed to civil unions, he said, "It seems to me that now they're fighting for the name," and, "I worry that it means somehow we debase, or we change, what marriage is. I just worry about that."

@HOTCONCHICK – "She supported Obama because he is black like most people who voted for him did. I'm not saying it's right it's just fact. It doesn't make her any less of a poet."

"Maya Angelou is revered for her poetry and popular writings."
Uh, well, she used to be, until she willfully took up permanent residence on obama's planation. I guess that Miss Angelou didn't get the memo, clearly stating that her master does not allow his people to keep guns – but once obama hears about this, Maya will be forced back "into chains" (h/t Crazy Joe Biden) and her weapons will be taken away from her (for her own safety). As obama and his democrats have said time and again, guns are completely ineffective for personal protection; Women especially, should choose one of the democrat-approved methods of self-protection; urinating, vomiting, or thrusting scissors or a ball-point pen at their assailant.

So, this Chalke character, who, contrary to what The Blaze's gay-propaganda team is desperate to have people believe, is relatively unknown outside of the UK, thinks that REAL Christians are "homophobic" for adhering to the teachings of the Bible? Come on, Chalke is not an "evangelical", as he simply does not agree with Christian doctrine – he is a liberal nut, re-imagining Christianity in order to fit his personal, extremely bizarre world view.

"Mark Kirk of Illinois is joining other prominent conservatives …"
Uh, EXCUSE ME, but Mark Kirk is not a CONSERVATIVE, he is barely a Republican.
Kirk voted to allow the government to confiscate your legally owned firearm in the event of a national emergency. He is Pro-Choice, saved millions in funding for Planned Parenthood and was just one of 17 Republicans to vote to fund abortions for female inmates. Kirk is for cap and trade and voted for TARP not once, but twice (just a sampling of Kirk's VERY LIBERAL record).
Come on, I know that The Blaze is DESPERATE to push liberals' gay agenda, but really – how about a few facts for a change? Saying that Kirk is a "conservative" is an outright LIE.

Tom KQT,
Thank you for your help. Yes, it is 2D. I'll take a look at the article. My only concern is that my hexagons are 2d texture images so the math may not work quite as well as with a 2d primitive using math to display it. The other flip side is that I'm inexperienced at applying some of the math concepts to xna. If all else fails, I may just use a simple circle or rectangle check and leave it at that.

BALTIMORE - Jason Varitek was marked down to start Monday night's game against the Orioles, but the Red Sox catcher was pulled after feeling the effects of being hit in the leg by a pitch in New York Sunday night.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia replaced him just before gametime.
Varitek left Sunday's game after an RBI single in the seventh. He had been hit in the fifth, and was limping afterward.
"He got whacked pretty good,'' manager Terry Francona said.
Just in case the squatting caused problems, Saltalamacchia increased his pregame warmup schedule to be ready on a moment's notice. The Red Sox also brought Triple A catcher Luis Exposito to Baltimore and added him to the roster.
Saltalamacchia played 15 innings in Sunday's doubleheader. When Varitek still felt discomfort in Monday's pregame, the lineup switch was made.
Of the backups, Exposito is considered better defensively than Ryan Lavarnway, who is already on the major league roster. Of the two rookies, Lavarnway is the better hitter.
"Having four catchers never hurts,'' Francona said.
Varitek has been Josh Beckett's catcher. Beckett is pitching Monday night.
J.D. Drew will start in right field for the second straight night. He had an RBI single Sunday in his first game since going on the disabled list for shoulder problems on June 20.
Drew will not start on Tuesday, when left-hander Zach Britton pitches for the Orioles.
Reliever Scott Atchison is still sore after tweaking his groin Sunday.
"He's actually more sore than we thought he might be,'' Francona said. That probably rules Atchison out of this series.
Francona said Clay Buchholz threw 18 pitches in an instructional league game at Fort Myers, Fla., on Sunday. If the Red Sox clinch a playoff spot before Wednesday, Buchholz will pitch against the Orioles in that game.
If the game has playoff impact, he will not. Francona does not feel comfortable, putting even a premier pitcher into his first game since mid-June with so much at stake.
Buchholz has been out for more than three months with back problems. If the race is still being contested Wednesday, he will go back to Fort Myers for another instructional start.
The Red Sox hope he might be available and ready at some point in the playoffs.
They are not optimistic about third baseman Kevin Youkilis returning this season.
Youkilis has a sports hernia. He will not play in Baltimore, and looks highly unlikely for the playoffs.
"I don't think we've pulled the plug, but we know it's an uphill battle,'' Francona said.
If the Red Sox need to win on Wednesday, Francona said Jon Lester will pitch on three days' rest. The ideal scenario would be to clinch a playoff spot before the final game and avoid using Lester.
That will require cooperation from Tampa Bay, which trails Boston by one game with three to play.

These nuts are fantastic for the price. If you go anywhere else and try to purchase mixed nuts with cashews and pecans in them, you will pay at least twice as much. My husband LOVES these! They could be a little saltier for me, but he thinks they are perfect. Thanks!
Not only is the price fabulous, but this is the best mixed nuts brand I've ever found. The variety in the can is large, with the least amount of peanuts of any I've ever found. These mixed nuts are a really great value!
These taste so good. They are always fresh.
