We caught up with Mike at the end of the year to discuss some of the prospects Padres' fans may be hearing more of in the future.
Nate Freiman doesn't show up in many prospect lists mainly because he is always considered too old for every league he plays in.
However Nate also keeps putting up numbers at every stop and this year he had his best year of his career. What did you see this season?
Mike Saeger: Nate overall had one of the best offensive seasons by any Mission hitter in the 19 years that they've called Wolff Stadium home. He finished two RBI shy of the most by a Mission during that period and became the first Mission since 1998 to finish with at least 20 home runs, 100 rbi, and 50 extra base hits.
That said, it was also a strange season to some degree because he came out of the gate with 14 home runs through the middle of May, then hit two home runs through the end of June and three homers over his last 31 games, yet still continued to drive in runs pretty consistently despite a drop-off in power thanks largely to a .336 average with runners in scoring position.
|Freiman hit .336 with runners in scoring position..
There were a couple of scouts who questioned whether he would have the ability to hit the inside fastball, particularly from the waist up. None of the TL pitchers really tried to consistently pitch him there, so that will be an interesting thing to watch next year when he's at Tucson.
Nate would sometimes get himself in trouble by chasing breaking balls away, perhaps trying to do too much due to an offense that struggled to move runners up and drive guys home for a good part of the year.
Overall, however, it was another huge year for a guy who wasn't a high draft pick. In fact, he and Jedd Gyorko, who is one the top-rated MiLB prospects, are the only minor league hitters to drive in 100 runs over each of the last two seasons, so that says something.
At 6'8" and 250 lbs. the first thing everyone sees in him is his power but he appears like he is a much more disciplined hitter by his K/BB ratio than given credit for.
Mike Saeger: That's one thing that separates him from most big power hitters. He walked about once for every two times that he struck out and had a respectable 16.4% strikeout rate, which was the fifth lowest among the 11 qualifiers who slugged .440 or higher. He's always been a pretty good contact hitter for a guy who can hit the long ball. His line drive rate, while not tops in the league (16%), was matched with Mike Olt and Nolan Arenado, two high-ranking prospects in the league.
As I mentioned previously, a lot of his strikeouts were the result of chasing bad pitches and getting himself in trouble.
Dean Anna got a chance to play everyday and if hadn't been for a bad August probably would have been among the league leaders in on-base percentage.
What is his best position and what is the biggest part of his game he needs to improve upon going forward?
Mike Saeger: Dean ended up setting career highs in several categories, including homers and RBI. He finished with around 80 more AB's than he ever had prior to this year and I think that, along with the hot Texas summer and grueling travel schedule, may have led to him wearing down near the end. That late season swoon coincided with a much higher strikeout rate than we're used to seeing from him.
He was near the top of the leader board in OBP at the entire Double-A level for the first several months of the season.
I think second base is probably his best position, though as you know he can play several positions. I look at him as sort of left-hand hitting version of Andy Parrino without quite as much pop but with a better rate of getting on base and fewer strikeouts.
As for things to work on, if stamina was indeed an issue later in the season, perhaps adding a few more pounds of muscle and making other slight adjustments to help stand up to the rigors of 140 or more games. Also, continued work defensively, though as a utility guy I would think that it would be a little more challenging to master a single position since you've got to get in your work at several positions.
I wouldn't be surprised if he snuck into the majors one day as a utility guy. I think he's opened some eyes in the organization these past couple of years and has gone from an organizational-type player to one who is somewhat intriguing.
Except for a little over a month spent in Tucson, Cody Decker was one of the big bats for the Missions this year with 25 home runs and 68 RBI.
Despite having a 100 strikeouts in 400 plate appearances he also had a .367 on-base percentage and seemed to be a little more than a free-swinger. How would you describe him as a hitter?
Mike Saeger: To me, Cody was a much more disciplined hitter this year than what I saw in 2011, though he lost much of '11 with that nasty ankle sprain.
His strikeout rate was considerably lower until about the third week of July when he went into a nearly month-long tailspin that saw him hit a league-low .155 while he fanned 31 times in 24 games. He got hot again after that and raised his average 15 points over the last three weeks.
He and Freiman combined for the most home runs by any pair of Missions teammates in the 19-year era of Wolff Stadium (49) and the most since 1984 by a pair of San Antonio hitters.
Decker can hit a baseball about as far as anyone when he gets hold of a pitch. I believe Matt Clark is the only Padre with more homers since Cody entered the system in 2009. He doesn't hit home runs that leave you guessing if it's going to leave the yard or not.
What happened with Jaff Decker this year?
Mike Saeger: Jaff had a foot injury that I guess was bothering him from the start of the season according to what the coaching staff told me. I'm pretty sure it was his left foot if memory serves correctly. That really affected his ability to hit and hit with any power.
I wasn't aware of the problem for awhile and was scratching my head trying to figure out what was going on with him at the plate because we all expected him to come out and have a big year repeating the Texas League and he didn't even look close to what we saw last season, which was kind of a hit-and-miss year statistically.
Things finally came to a head when we were in Springfield, MO at the end of May. He hit a slow bouncer toward the pitcher and only got a few steps out of the batters box before collapsing. That was the last we saw of him. I know he didn't play too many rehab games in Arizona, so I'm assuming that perhaps the injury flared up again. I never heard if he was going to need surgery. If he's ready to go in April of 2013 I would expect that he'd be with us again for at least part of the year. I don't think we've really seen the real Jaff Decker yet in his time in a Missions uniform.
Jonathan Galvez got off to a late start but still put up some pretty good offensive numbers. What did you think of his defense at second and what were his strengths at the plate.
Mike Saeger: As a hitter I think he'll always hit. More of a line drive guy who can hit a few home runs. He had a pretty bad slump down the stretch that dropped his average from .330 to .292. It seemed that during that period he became more of a free swinger than we had seen up to that point.
Defensively he's a work in progress. He has an unusual way of fielding ground balls that I've never seen, almost as though he's carefully gathering an egg from the ground. Sort of a scooping motion with both hands.
|Can Galvez stay at second base?
I always like to talk to some of the scouts to get their input on guys, since they know more than I do about the intricacies of the game. The few I spoke with did indicate that his defense at second needs a lot of work.
Near the end of the season our manager, John Gibbons, stuck him in left field for a number of starts and he actually looked pretty good out there for a guy who had never played in the outfield. It gave him a chance to use that speed of his as well. I think his future is likely going to be as an outfielder. He can steal some bases though I don't think he'll ever hit for the power that a prototype corner outfielder is supposed to show.
Robbie Erlin was probably the best pitcher at AA and above that Padres' fans didn't get a chance to see this season. You have seen him now for two years. How would you describe him?
Mike Saeger: As steady as the English rain. Has an idea what he's doing out there. Seems to mix up his pitches well and move the ball around. And he throws a bit harder than you would think for someone considered to be a smallish lefty.
Robbie's a smart kid, too, which has a lot to do with the success that he's had. Good head on his shoulders.
I suspect he'll be in Tucson most of next year, which is always a challenge for any pitcher. That whole division can be punishing on even good pitchers. I think he's smart enough and good enough to make whatever adjustments he'll need to in order to succeed at that level and in the majors.
If he can stay healthy, which has been the challenge for Padre pitchers the last couple of years, he'll be a fine addition for the big club at some point.
Keyvius Sampson's ERA after the all-star break was 3.73 as compared to 5.90 before. What adjustments did he make to get better?
Mike Saeger: I think part of it was due to working on some slight mechanical adjustments, which can take some time and can lead to some painful moments during the process. From what I understand, one of things they were working on was getting him quicker to the plate.
One of the biggest reasons for his success later in the season was due to better command, getting ahead of the count more often and not walking nearly as many hitters. If you look that stretch where he lost six straight decisions, he rarely got lit up. But take a look at his walk numbers from those games and the problem becomes evident. The walks and deep counts led to a high number of innings where the opponent put a crooked number on the board.
Keyvius, to me, showed a lot of progress over the course of the year. People have to remember that he skipped High-A, and that's not an easy jump for pitcher or a hitter.
What were your thoughts on Rymer Liriano.
Mike Saeger: Rymer showed flashes of why he is considered one of the top prospects in the system. He got off to an awful beginning at Double-A and then put together a 12-game hitting streak, during which time he led all Double-A in batting. He finished the year something like 3-for-22.
He showed a great arm from right field and he can run. He definitely has some pop in his bat, which he showed here and there in his brief time with the team. If he can hit in the range of 20 homers a year he'll definitely be a big league regular.
He's got a little ways to go to be a polished diamond, but the toolbox is full. Time will tell if he can master the tools he has.
Going into the future, who was the top prospect that you saw for the Missions this summer?
Mike Saeger: There are a few guys worth mentioning. Obviously, Sampson is a one to keep an eye on as we move forward, but he's probably still a couple of years from being there. I liked the progress I saw from him from start to finish. That's what the minors are about.
|Mike Saeger likes Robbie Erlin too.
I think Robbie Erlin is the closest to being big-league ready from this year's team and I would be surprised if he's not with the Padres at some point next year, even if it's a September call-up.
Another guy I like who isn't talked about in terms of "prospect" status, is left-hander Jeff Ibarra. Fastball-slider guy. He's a sidearm thrower, tall lefty. He had an arm problem that shut him down at the end of May (elbow, I think). He's extremely tough on lefties and even though right-handers hit .293 in 58 AB, I think he's got a chance to be successful against them because his fastball seems to rise and I think that can help him in getting righties out. He's not exactly your typical sidearm-throwing lefty because of that. I want to see more of him but keep his name in the back of your mind.

Ohio Farmers Happy With Sweet Corn Crop
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSPD) -- A staple of the summer diet in Ohio is sweet corn. This year's crop looks pretty good, depending on where you are in the state.
"Some people were able to get it in early, so they had some early sweet corn a couple of weeks ago. Others had a little bit of a challenge getting it in because of the weather so it's coming on really strong right now," said Steve Hirsch, president of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation.
He says overall, the state's sweet corn crop looks pretty good for the year.
Cameron Way grows 15 acres of it on his Pike County farm. It's a big seller at his Waverly market and at the farmer's markets he goes to. Early on it's been a challenge.
"Mother Nature kind of threw us a little swing on getting a bunch of rain right after it was planted and it crusted the ground and it didn't come up real well, but everything after this looks really good," he said.
He expects to be picking sweet corn until October. Right now he plants an acre at a time, but as fall gets closer he cuts back as demand decreases.
"Sweet corn is summer," said Hirsch.
He says ideal growing conditions are a lot of sunshine and heat along with periodic rains.
Sweet corn is considered a specialty crop. Most of what you see grown in Ohio is bound for animal feed or other industrial uses.

aw steve, really sad to hear that, hope eveything is ok
Steve - you have rights to sue them to kingdom come - if they refused a c - section in circumstances where it was clearly dangerous and impactive on the mother and child and worse still where you or another indicated this to the nurse in charge and this was refused I think you have good grounds to go to town on them. Glad to hear your daughter is doing well. Good luck whatever you choose to do
It's bound to be badly run and full of useless management staff, it's the biggest employer in the world iirc? Every big company is full of useless management, but they don't have people's health at risk (generally). Sadly, it's impossible to run such a big company without having lots of bad staff and lots of shit happening.
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
Steve I sincerly hope your little girl is OK. It sounds like there were some major fuck ups there.
My son was born 3 weeks premature by emergency C section due to severe pre eclampcia (sp). He was then rushed into the SCBU and put in an icubator for 2 days due to breathing difficulties. Then due to not being with his mother from birth he would not breat feed. (I mention this because of what I say below)
My boy is now 8 and has been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, a type of autism. I in no way blame the hospital or the staff but studies have shown that premature babies and those who don't breast feed have a greater chance of being on the Autistic spectrum.
The staff were great at Slough hospial. I believe they saved the life of m son and ex mrs.
I understand what you went through as after he was born I had a baby in an incubator and a Mrs with her belly sliced open and didn't know which way to turn.
I wish you all the best for the future and I hope that if the staff are proved to be negligent then they are made to pay severly.
I'm no gynecologist but I know a cunt when I see one.

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Hi everybody!
I know a lot of us use SoundCloud quite a bit for promotional purposes, so I was wondering what your thoughts were on their new interface.
Personally, I very much like the look and feel of it, but groups kinda got lost in the shuffle. That would be the only negative for me.
What do you think?
Me no likey It's slower for me … And hiding big links behind short custom titles isn't working ….my big ref link to AudioJungle is now visible. Luckily they only switched me to the new one for one day, then switched back to the old one. But I guess the involuntary switching is imminent in the near future.
My first impression was that I felt kind of lost on the home screen. Things didn't seem to be as readily available as the previous site version. But who know. maybe it will grow on me. Soundcloud, in general, still rocks.
JonBuice saidYes, I agree. I had the same impression when I first used the iPhone app which has a very similar design/organization. Just like anything else, you gotta get used to it.
My first impression was that I felt kind of lost on the home screen.
previous was better
Looks are much better, functionality and ease of use is much worse :/
For me it's a major improvement in terms of design and ease of use. Looking forward to stuff like Spotlight being integrated into the new version. Wish they'd stream tracks at more than 128kbps, though.
I will never understand why going to a list of one's own tracks is not a simple one-click-away action after one signs in and ends up on the "stream" homepage.
Same thing with the new design.

Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, this is a natural boar bristle hairbrush that is gentler on thinning hair than typical bristle brushes. It uses a softer "cut" of bristles—not the stiffer root-end used on brushes for normal hair—allowing its 2,300 bristles to gently glide through fine hair without pulling, leaving locks looking healthy and shiny. Imported from England, the brush is made by G.B. Kent & Sons, the world's oldest brush maker, established in 1777, a holder of the Royal Warrant through nine consecutive reigns of the British monarchy. Each brush is manufactured in a 10-step process that requires eight hours to complete, using only the finest natural boar bristle from India and China. Craftsmen painstakingly assemble the brush, ensuring that the bristles are secured in the yielding rubber cushion. The brush has a flat oval head. Includes a brush cleaner. 9" L x 2 3/4" W x 1 1/2" H. (1 lb.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Thinning Hair Boar Bristle Brush comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

Bristles could be darker.
By Janet
from Laurel, Maryland
I brush my hair at night and in the morning. At the tender age of 61, my hair is thinning but not too thin and is very shiny! I have had the same brush from England for 15 years and my husband uses the same brush. We love it. Great investment.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not recommended for thinning hair
By aleutwoman
from Olympia, WA
Not useful for very thin short hair. Brush's shape is too convex causing bristles to seem longer at center. The bristles at perimeter do not make contact with scalp or very thin, short hair. All bristles are quite stiff so user can inadvertently damage scalp. Brush is likely excellent for long, thick hair.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback.

Beautiful brush
By Nancy
from Alberta, Canada
This is a beautiful, high-quality hairbrush. My hair is very straight & used to be thick, but is now thinning. This brush glides gently through the hair and smooths it - it actually makes it appear thicker. I thought at first it was a little expensive, but now that I have it, I'm glad I bought it. Even the box it comes in is nice!
So far, so good...
By Maddy
from Pasadena, CA
I bought this brush for my husband (although it specifies for women) and, so far, he has not noticed hair on the brush unlike his previous one. He seems to like the feel of it and will continue to use it (if it saves his hair!)

Quality brush.

Purchased for my wife and she uses every day. Very easy on her hair and she likes it.

By Satisfied Shoppers
from Coarsegold CA
This is a wonderful HAND CRAFTED brush. So far superior to other "boar bristle" brushes we have purchased in the past. Well worth the price and it is entirely hand made in England. It is a beautiful brush and very gentle to thin / thinning hair...definitely up to Hammacher Schlemmer quality standards!
cranky old man very pleased
By Fred
from Rochester, WA
As a cranky 72-year-old with thinning hair, I have purchased multiple brushes, plastic, wood, unknown, over the years, with no success. Brushes do not brush effectively, pull out hair rather than arranging hair, and are generally worthless. This brush does exactly what it says, effectively providing neatly brushed hair with a few strokes. An excellent product, would recommend strongly, even considering the (somewhat outrageous) price.

Glad I finally invested in this
By Pamela
from Bend, Oregon
I've always used boar bristle hairbrushes, always had long hair. I usually purchased them at health food stores and used them until the wooden backs were peeling and catching my hair. I hoped to find a better ones for years and finally took the plunge and purchased this Kent boar bristle hair brush for fine and thinning hair. I was yanking a lot of hair out of my head with my old brush, I'm elderly, and feel more protective of the hair I have left than when I was younger.I was disappointed when I opened the box and saw the plastic handle and back. It seemed lightweight, and cheap. Then I thought about how all my other brushes that were wood eventually peeled and spit and snagged my hair. I gave it a try. Wonderful hair brush! And in fact the lightweight plastic, easier for me to use. I have no regrets, the plastic is actually a tortoise shell color rather than black which it first appeared to be. I love this brush, my hair feels great, my scalp as well. The bristles are firm, not too soft, but not stiff and harsh either. Very satisfied, and wish I'd purchased this brush, long ago.

E-Mail Scam
Welcome to the Homefront Reporter
We think you'll find the information contained in this newsletter to be a valuable tool for enhancing your Internet experience. If, however, you'd prefer not to receive these bulletins on a monthly basis, click HERE.
E-Mail Scam - Watch Out For New PayPal Scam E-mail Messages
If you get an e-mail that appears to be from PayPal, take a very close look. A number of new PayPal scam e-mails have been circulating recently. These fraudulent messages typically use the salutation "Dear PayPal User" or "Dear PayPal Member" and tell you there's a problem with your PayPal account or the PayPal computer system. The scammers then ask you to download an attachment or software program and resubmit your personal account information.
Below is an actual PayPal scam e-mail message:
This kind of scam has been around for a long time and resurfaces periodically. Here's what you need to know to protect yourself:
If you receive a PayPal scam e-mail, forward it to email@example.com. PayPal will immediately work to shut down the scam site. You can also forward the e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will place your e-mail in a database and use the combined information to track down and prosecute the scammer/spammers.

Ask The Help Desk - What Does "HTTP" Mean In Front Of Web Addresses?
Question: There is almost always an "http" in front of the "www" in Web addresses. What does the "http" mean?
Answer: The ubiquitous "http" that precedes nearly every web address is an acronym for HyperText Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the set of computing rules that governs how all data are transmitted and received on the World Wide Web. The "http://" you see before a web address lets your browser know to display the document in HTTP format and that the document is HTTP-compatible.
Every interaction among Web browser software and Web-hosting servers is governed by this protocol. In short, HyperText Transfer Protocol makes the Web, the Web.

Short Tutorial - Organizing E-mail With Folders
Remember when managing your e-mail was simple? You only received a few messages each day so you could just delete the ones you didn't want and drag the rest into one "Save" folder. But times have changed — now you may be getting dozens of e-mail messages daily from friends, family, co-workers, online subscriptions, and, unfortunately, spammers. The solution is to create new folders to save e-mail messages in an organized way, and create message rules that will automatically sort e-mail into these folders. Here's how to do it:
Outlook Express Users
Creating a New E-mail Folder in Outlook Express
Manually Sorting Old E-mail into Folders in Outlook Express
Sorting New E-mail into Folders Using Rules in Outlook Express
Thunderbird Users
Creating a New E-mail Folder in Thunderbird for the Macintosh and PC

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Rochdale Securities may be the latest brokerage firm to need an injection of capital after unauthorized trading activity. According to a Bloomberg report citing three unnamed sources, executives at Rochdale Securities - which employs the well-known bank analyst Richard Bove -- have been telling employees and potential investors that the company's capital has been "eroded" because of an unauthorized trade in Apple ( APPL) shares. A Rochdale spokesman declined to comment. According to the company's website, Rochdale Securities specializes in "high-quality executions, comprehensive reporting and the ability to provide independent research to the institutional investment community," and that it "offers independent research without the conflicts of investment banking." -- Written by Philip van Doorn in Jupiter, Fla. >Contact by Email.

I was not aware of this form and the coments posted about Alstrasoft. With out knowing this I made a great mistake.
Alstrasoft clone acripts to be true are full of bugs.
I purchased their e-friends and video share with my mistake of not researching about the company fully.
They are very good trying for a sale. but their scripts are really full of bugs. I have never come across such a worst company and worse scripts being sold for such a huge price.
Script is so very basic and kiddish that it will not support any large scale. Also it is with full of Bugs.
Their scripts never work with the read me instruction given by them. Alstrasoft makes it in such a way that it does not work and finally try make us aske for installation.
Totally no email support reply and no phone support, coz they are fake.
The toll free number is US number and they are in Singapore, faking the market to have a US brand sale.
US must BAN Alstrasoft from Faking the US and the world market.
I am not sure on where to make a complaint about this company as they are F****g worse in their support service and product supplied.
I had a very terrible experience with Alstrasoft and still my site does not work properly.
Meta Tag: Alstrasoft is Faking, Alstrasoft E-friends clone is fake,Alstrasoft Video share fake, Alstrasoft Ajax Desktop Enterprice is Fake.
P.S: Do not waste your money in buying any of the Alstrasoft Products
Hi.. thanks for sharing man. I live in Singapore and its good that ppl shd be aware of these type of shady companies. The company site looks legit..but i guess cant judge it by its cover.. nonetheless i believe shoddy companies shd be given the death sentence for making other honest and decent companies suffer..
Anyways,normally for consumer complaints or feedbacks we'll filter over to CASE (Consumers Association of Singapore) www.case.org.sg - thy're the government watchdog for consumer wellbeing,so to say. maybe you can check it out there and see if they can take any actions.
Thanks for the info.
One real problem is they did not give their contact information in their website as singapore based or US based.
Also Their privacy policy refers US Law in one of their statements with a US Toll Fre NUmber. So its a bit tricky to file case against them in singapore. But for sure they operate in Singapore. How do you think this case can be handled?
Also this issue is being discussed in the site point for less than 2 years about Alstrasoft Scam.
2checkout.com had already banned them from selling products.
Lets find a solution,
If that's the case, then going to CASE isnt gonna do much good - unless the origin is confirmed. And since its Privacy states US law, then perhaps lawfully its within US jurisdiction.
On the other hand,perhaps we can delve a little deeper..
Since we cant get any info from the generic Whois portal, I went straight to the Registrar of the website - ENOM.
Went into ENOM's Whois and lo and behold.. this is what I get..
Seems like they are using WhoIsGuard which masks their information.
Anyway, perhaps what you can do is file a complain @ Enom - http://www.enom.com/help/abusepolicy.aspx
Maybe that'll trigger some attention and perhaps with the many support from users-alike, can at least put some dent to Alstrasoft and help others before they are cheated on a botch application.
I'd never use any of their products before, but reading up the thread (which u posted) makes me tick as well.. i'd previously paid for a "really cheap" domain name, but in the end it got some hidden charges after I paid for it. The fact is, these unscrupulous sellers are all not being transparent upfront.
hope this helps in a way or two..
They market their products so well and give off a professional appearance at first glance. I'm surprised to hear such a review, but also thankful that I caught it today, as I was planning on buying one of their scripts in the next few days.

The reason why the customer did not get reply and support from clip-share.com and Alstrasoft.com for the video script is,
both the companies are same, and clip-share.com was formed by alstrasoft to bring an alternative to market as their image was completely spoiled.
So How do I say this?If you want the answer,
1) Just read the terms and condition (EULA) Licence agreement in clip-share.com and alstrasoft.com EULA they are 100% same, except replacing the company name. If you cannot find one PM me or any one why purchased the script from these 2 companies and verify it. If needed I will post in here, which I dont think I violate any law, as no where it says the EULA must be kept confidential between the company and the client.
2) Compare the video script sold by them, they are just having only the template changed and the clip-share does not allow you view the demo of their admin page.
3) Both of them use SWREG for payment, ( This cannot be taken much but even this plays a major role in comparison)
4) Both of then has no contact address given in their website.
Lets discover more internet script scams by Great Alstrasoft scammer.
Keywords: clip-share.com is clone of alstrasoft video script, clip-share.com scam, alstrasoft.com scam
Type "Altrasoft Products" into Google... This thread is second!
lol~~~still at the second place now.
wow. more Alstrasoft haters.
Feel free to post your reviews here also:
its not much, but a start I guess.
Interesting, as they LOOK like some handy scripts. I was particularly interested in the Paypal type thing, as I wish to offer an escrow service on my site. Anyone know of a good one? I'd best start a new thread...
It would be interesting to see what Astralsof has to say. I used to hear more about them that I do these days.
LOL... It's 1st now!!! - http://www.google.com/search?q=Alstrasoft+products
They will say nothing, they are scum suckers, bottom feeding low life fraud scam artists. When does a coward ever respond? It's like asking Bin Laden for a refund on supporting his war effort with Russia. Alstrasoft is BAD, stay clear.
You can actually find some of the programers who made some of their scripts in the popular Freelance Sites. They often have an up to date version of the script at a lower price.
We've been scammed to by them for the grouponclone which is actually not even theirs
If you want to setup a Groupon clone script, please read this...... Please never buy from Alstrasoft, it's operated by a cheat by the name of John Goh, aka Mr. Goh Kai Wei (<snip/>) from Singapoe!! Alstrasoft appears to look like an American company, but once you've bought the software, the guy will refuse to help you, because the script does not even belong to him. Alstrasoft is just there to cheat innocent people.
I know it, because i've just been cheated by him. :mad:
I just purchased the Groupon clone from you know who.
The 1-888 number - does not work.No response from emails.No response from 'help ticklets'.No step-by-step manual ( for us non-IT professionals ).- as stated via web site and demo.
So what I have is a bill for $ 178:
I have a bunch of PHP files uploaded to my yahoo hosting, that won't do anything.
Thanks goodness for Visa - I will be rejecting this purchase for sure.
Alan:mad: - as well
Thanks guys i was planning to start groupon type website in few days but now i have to search again for the new vendor .
i have just bought the groupon clone from alstrasoft :Si feel so stupid for missing to check the reputation of this company.it is so hard to contact the guy with a name(probably fake name) John Rossand there is no user manual to followthe guy responds so fast before you paidafter u paid disappeared
can anyone please tell me how did they solve this?and can i retrieve the payment made by VISA?thanksthis is a nightmare
Yes you can ask for a chargeback via Visa. These type of scam artists should have all of their Visa privileges removed. Keep track of the email messages that you send that are not responded to. Ask for a refund. Then contact Visa and ask for a chargeback. They will ask for proof that you attempted to contact and have the problem fixed. These type of problems happen all the time and Visa will not be surprised.

Heart-shaped uterus
Hi everyone,
When I had my ever 1st ultrasound (trans-vaginal), I was diagnosed of Cornual pregnancy. Cornual pregnancy as my doctor told me, is the worst type of Ectopic pregnancy. I was advised to terminate my pregnancy since it will endanger both my baby's life and mine. I cried so hard that night because I wanted to have this baby. I was advised by my doctor to have a 2nd opinion, and she referred a specialist for me. I took the time off from work and had to be bed ridden for a few day. Days after I experienced some bleeding. I went to the specialist (I feared I lost the baby already) and she said that it was NOT Cornual pregnancy after all (thank God!). She told me that it looks like cornual because I have a Bicornuate uterus (heart-shaped). She said that this is common if you have a twin sibling (yes, I have a twin sister). ^_^
Do women having this type of uterus have more difficulty in pregnancy? Are there disadvantages of having a bicornuate uterus?

Hi Chi,
It would depend on the severity of your case. Women with bicornuate or hearth shaped uteri do have more complications that those who do not. The babies are more likely to be breech. Mothers are often encouraged to undergo cesarean delivery as a result of this and other issues. Definitely discuss this with your caregiver, as it is important to remember that the severity of the issue dictates much of the risk. Severe abnormalities are pretty rare. Chances are that you will go on to have a healthy, happy pregnancy.

Hi Chi,
I noticed in another post, that you have a 2 year old son. Sometimes the outcome of the pregnancy is determined by where the baby implants in the uterus (in a bicornuate uterus or heart shaped uterus). Your son probably implanted in a good place, and there's a chance the next one could as well.
Mom2Many gave you some very good information above.
Warm regards,

Hollings Library to hold English Bible lecture, tour Aug. 11
In observance of the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible, the University of South Carolina Libraries are sponsoring a free lecture and gallery tour of the university's collection of treasured Bibles at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 11, at the Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library.
Dr. John R. de Witt, pastor emeritus of Columbia's First Presbyterian Church, will talk about the history and significance of the King James Bible. Guests can tour the exhibit, "The English Bible: An Exhibition for the Four-Hundredth Anniversary of the King James Bible, 1611," before and after the lecture.
Light refreshments will be served after the lecture.
The exhibit tells the story of the Bible's translation into the English language beginning with protestant reformers John Wycliffe and William Tyndale and continuing through the 16th-century, when other English translations emerged from the Puritan faith and the Catholic Church. It also charts the impact of the King James Bible in America and explores its influence on literature, politics and culture.
Highlights include:
leaves from the Coverdale Bible, 1535, the first complete Bible in English;
a Geneva Bible, the major Puritan translation, dated 1595, donated to the South Carolina College library by Governor John Drayton;
a 1608 Bible believed to have been brought to America by one of the Pilgrim Fathers;
a first edition of the Rheims New Testament, the major Catholic translation, from 1582; "the 1685 edition of John Eliot's Indian Bible; and
a copy of the first American printing of the King James Bible (Philadelphia,1782).
"Many libraries worldwide are celebrating this anniversary, but they don't have our resources," said Patrick Scott, director of the Irvin Department and curator of the exhibit. "We already have a great collection that deserves to be seen by a new generation of students and by members of the community."
Regular hours for the exhibit are 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday – Friday. The galleries of the Hollings Library will also be open special weekend hours July 23 - 24 and Aug. 20 – 21 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Guided tours of the exhibit will be available at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., and audio tours are available for download anytime at http://library.sc.edu/spcoll/EnglBible.html
For more information, call the Hollings Library desk at 803-777-3847, or visit the library's website. For driving and parking directions to the Hollings Library, which must be entered through the Thomas Cooper Library at 1322 Greene St., go to be http://library.sc.edu/tcllocate.html

Tafsir al-Kumi, hadith
Surah Abraham, verse 5
We sent Moses with Our Signs: 'Bring your people from the darkness to the light. And remind them of the Days of Allah.' There are certainly Signs in that for everyone who is steadfast, thankful.
We sent Moses with Our Signs: 'Bring your people from the darkness to the light, meaning from oppression to the light, and remind them of the Days of Allah.'
He said: "Allah's days are three. One is the day of the Qaim (Mahdi (as))". The Prophet Moses (pbuh) says this. The Prophet Moses (pbuh) tells Hazrat Mahdi (as) "...so may Allah's peace be upon you". Look at the Prophet Moses (pbuh)'s love for the Mahdi. Prophets heralded Hazrat Mahdi (as) thousands of years ago. The Prophet Moses (pbuh) prays to Almighty Allah: "O My Lord, make me Mahdi". He prays for this three times. Almighty Allah tells him, "Your duty is the duty of a prophet". He says, "Two death days, three days of judgment". The Prophet Moses (pbuh) says, "Remember this. It means that.", insha'Allah.2013-02-18 11:42:16

Catch up: San Bernardino County might sue the city of San Bernardino over landfill fees | San Bernardino special section
The city and county of San Bernardino are set to skirmish in bankruptcy court in January over more than $1.9 million in landfill payments the city has stopped making and the county wants to collect.
In its legal brief, the county seeks to lift a stay that otherwise stops creditors from suing a city while it's in bankruptcy court for missed payments dating back to July - calculated at $1.9 million before November and December were included.
City officials have informed the county they don't intend to renew the 25-year contract for use of the county landfill when it expires - Dec. 16, according to the county. Although, the city thinks it ends later in the month.
While city officials have protested there's no money available to pay the fees associated with the Waste Disposal Agreement, money set aside for trash should be used for trash instead of bankruptcy-related expenses, attorneys Jeffery Hermann and John Farmer, of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP in Los Angeles, write for the county.
"Even though the city has failed to pay the county for the solid waste disposal services provided to the city, the city continues to dispose of its municipal solid waste at the county's sanitary landfill system," they write. "Apparently, the city believes that the taxpayers of the county should be shouldering the costs of the city's ongoing Chapter 9 case."
The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Jan. 22 at U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Riverside in front of Judge Meredith Jury.

'The Islanders lost, 2-1, in front of a crowd of 14,248. But DiPietro, the first overall selection in last June's draft, played well. Well enough to calm the nerves of general manager Mike Milbury, who took the risk of selecting the then-Boston University freshman and trading heralded prospect Roberto Luongo the same day.'

Curriculum Implementation Committee Dates
New/Revised Course Proposal Form
Course Description and Style Guidelines
Who approves new and revised courses?
All new courses and substantial revisions of existing courses are first reviewed and approved by the Curriculum Implementation Committee (CIC). Then they are approved by the Curriculum and Educational Policy Committee (CEP) and by faculty vote at a faculty meeting.
When will my proposal be reviewed and approved?
The CIC attempts to review at each meeting all proposals submitted (and for which approvals have been received from the relevant department chairs) by the Friday before the meeting. (An unusually high number of submitted proposals may require multiple meetings before all proposals are reviewed.) Instructors or department/program chairs may be contacted for supplemental information or clarification. Once the CIC has approved a course proposal, it is added to the next CEP meeting agenda. After the CEP has approved a proposal, it is voted on at a faculty meeting.
What constitutes a new course?
A new course is one that has never previously been taught at Bowdoin. As long as a course was previously taught at Bowdoin and was not approved for a limited duration, it may be reintroduced into the curriculum without another approval.
What types of course revisions require approval?
Revisions requiring approval include (a) a significant change in the content of a course; (b) a change to allow a course to be repeated for credit; (c) a change in prerequisite that makes it more, rather than less, restrictive; (d) changes in registration restrictions (majors only, seniors only, etc.) that are more, rather than less, restrictive; (e) a change in numbering that reflects a change in level; (f) a change in credit value; (g) a change in grading option; and (h) a change in distribution designations.
Who submits courses for approval?
A course proposal is submitted by a faculty member or a department chair after a department/program committee has discussed how the course will contribute to the department/program's offerings. The approval of the chair or director is required on all proposals; when a proposal is not initially submitted by a chair, approval of the chair is subsequently solicited through email.
What is a cross-listed course?
A cross-listed course is one that is listed in more than one department or program. New cross-listed courses and substantial revisions must be approved by all relevant department chairs and program directors.
What are the criteria for approving requests for exceptions to the standard course registration limits?
Requests for exceptions to the standard course registration limits are made for a wide variety of reasons. The CIC and CEP must always judge whether a request is reasonable and appropriate. In the past, exceptions have been approved due to limited lab or studio space, due to limited space in vans for field trips, to make an experimental course more workable, and when dividing a course into multiple sections is accompanied by a different use of faculty resources in the department.
What kinds of registration restrictions get approved?
First years only is the restriction appropriately used for first-year seminars. There is precedent for non-major and introductory-level courses having a restriction of first years or sophomores only, particularly when there is history of similar courses filling to their limits. There is also precedent for advanced-level courses being restricted to majors only; the capstone course in a major is often restricted to senior majors only. These precedents indicate that previous requests for such restrictions have been viewed as reasonable and appropriate; the CIC and CEP base decisions on current issues and registration patterns.
The permission of instructor only restriction is allowed only under exceptional circumstances. An instructor must have a very good reason to be allowed to select students outside of the usual mechanisms of course prerequisites, registration restrictions, and registration preferences.
How are registration preferences used?
Departments use registration preferences to manage registration and ensure fair access to courses. Registration preferences don't prohibit any students from registering for a course, but they do determine registration priority when demand for a course exceeds its registration limit during the first round of registration processing.
Questions about the course proposal process should be addressed to Janet Dana in the Office of the Registrar.

WATCH: Daft Punk's 'The Collaborators' Episode 5 - Panda Bear
Listen to Daft Punk on iHeartRadio | Listen to Panda Bear on iHeartRadio
With the release of the first single off of Daft Punk's new album Random Access Memories, "Get Lucky" featuring Pharrell Williams, it seems everyone has gone robot-crazy. After hearing a few of the collaborators speak - like Pharrell, Giorgio Moroder, Todd Edwards, and Nile Rogers - the guys have released epiosode 5 of their "The Collaborators" series, featuring Animal Collective's Panda Bear.
Panda Bear, real name Noah Lennox, talks about working with the French robot duo on their song in Paris. He goes into describing their process, and says:
It was cool for me to see a little bit, how they went about crafting the sounds. And how, instead of sampling an old piece of music, it was like, recording things in an old way to make something that kind of sound like it was sampling something old. But which in turn, kind of makes it sound new, if you know what I mean. Because it's very repetitive like a sample, or a short piece of sound. But it's got these little sonic details that come from a live performance when you're playing an instrument.

BELLFLOWER - Parks and Recreation Director Rich Pierce - a 34-year veteran - will retire effective July 19, a city official said this week.
P.J. Mellana, assistant parks and recreation director, will replace Pierce on July 20, City Manager Jeff Stewart said.
Pierce, 60, of Long Beach, said he was retiring "to spend more time with my family and travel with my wife, Charlene, who is retiring this summer as well."
Mayor Dan Koops wished Pierce well in his retirement, but said he was sad to see him go.
"For 34 years, he has been an outstanding leader in the community, a strong mentor to thousands of children and a positive role model to all of his fellow employees and staff members," Koops said. "He has served this city and community with the utmost professionalism and dedication for many years."
Pierce graduated from Long Beach's Millikan High School and Cal State Long Beach, where he earned a bachelor's degree in recreation administration. During college, he met and married his wife, a fellow recreation leader. They have been married 34 years and have three sons, Jeff, Jason and Jordan.
In August 1978, Pierce joined Bellflower's recreation department as a recreation coordinator overseeing Simms Park, the city's largest recreation facility.
Pierce moved up the ranks, and in July 1989 was promoted to director of parks and recreation.
On a daily basis, Pierce manages the city's three parks. He also oversees the city's farmers market, the senior nutrition program, the Meals on Wheels Program, the volunteer center, the Bellflower bus service and the aquatic center.
Mellana, 33, is a Bellflower native. He has worked for the department for eight years, serving in various positions in the parks and recreation department. At this time, Mellana's position will not be filled, said city spokeswoman Lynn Komadina.
