About this unique collection or key(s): I hand-pick my keys from a massive private collection. Keys may have originated from: Baroque (1600's – 1750's), Age of Enlightenment (1700's), Napoleonic (1799-1815), Georgian (1714-1830), Victorian (1837-1901), Romantic (1850-1920's), Machine (1900-1945) or Modern / Vintage Eras (1930's - present). In general, when applied to keys, the word "Antique" means a key believed to or known to have been made in the 1940's or earlier. Very few keys from the pre-19th Century period have makers marks to accurately date or place a specific key. In some circumstances, a key can be dated by very unique designs or cuts. As always, copies (reproductions or duplicates) of keys were often made many years after the original, only complicating accurate dating, authenticity and appraisals. Please note that vintage and antique keys were often modified. Bows and shafts were often interchanged as keys were damaged or locks progressed with time. This is a common practice and does not always effect collection value. I do not maintain historical data concerning specific keys unless otherwise noted in the description. Key sets may contain an assortment of keys including decorative, replicas and other selections unless otherwise noted. Key length sizes are sometimes rounded off to the nearest 1/16 to 1/8 inches. All keys from a smoke free environment. Only key(s) shown in auction are included. Keys are generally not cleaned to maintain antique nature, but preservation approved, light oil may be applied to prevent rusting. Patinas on some keys may be aged surface oxidation and will rub off or wash off. Payment Terms: All payments due within 4 days. Thank you! US Shipping I can only ship to your current PayPal account address due to PayPal Buyer Protection rules. Please make address corrections before buying. Combined Shipping: Ebay calculates postage for most expensive item to ship, then other items are shipped for free. (Other terms may apply). Combined shipping is calculated by eBay, not the seller. If for any reason you do not receive shipping discounts for two or more items, or an incorrect fee, please let me know and I will correct / refund excess postage fees. I only ship by USPS Priority because by the time I add tracking, packing and insurance to First Class or Parcel Post, the cost is equal or sometimes more and it takes a lot longer to receive. Shipping Delays: Please see possible shipping delays at the top of this page. After I ship, please remember that the USPS controls shipping -- including delays. Canada and International Shipping: (If available with this auction). Multiple International items purchased at the same time can be combined if the value does not exceed weight limits, or additional postage may be required. Please contact us in advance of purchasing multiple items. In some instances, International shipping does not include insurance unless requested and available. Please ensure your Pay Pal address is correct. We cannot alter shipping addresses with International shipments. Please use a secured address for shipping, avoiding apartment and box addresses if possible. Buyer is responsible for package losses once delivered, including theft. Seller nor Pay Pal will issue refunds for theft or loss once an item is recorded as delivered. Damaged items will require postal investigation and processing before any refund. Other Terms: Clock and general key fitting and sizing: I do not suggest purchasing any key as a replacement unless you know the key will fit. The problem with older keys and locks is that the mechanisms and keys often change due to wear. In addition, key measurements can vary greatly due to small differences in bit cuts, depth, shaft diameter and sizing due to metric vs. US standards. Our square end keys, including clock keys are sized by metric standards. Although I accept returns, the cost of returning a key purchased on size speculation is generally not worth the cost. I suggest consulting a locksmith to confirm lock / key fitting. Refunds: I will gladly refund any purchase if you are not 100% happy. Contact me first and I will be happy to assist you with any problem. Please note that all returns must be postmarked within 14 days, include all items, be packed in equal protection as received and be tracked/insured (to prevent loss). Refund will be issued upon safe return of item(s) to seller. Please note return processing may be delayed due to my work schedule as noted at the top of this listing. Buyer is responsible for return postage costs. Items purchased for temporary use, including photography, theater, props, etc., will not be refunded. Refunds due to lost or damaged items: We will be happy to refund items that were insured and lost or damaged in transit. However, PayPal and US Postal regulations require the receiver to file a lost or damaged claim with your post office as soon as possible and/or respond to any inquiries. We cannot issue any refund until a claim is filed and a copy of the claim is sent to us. Once we receive a refund from the USPS we will issue your refund. International shipments are not insured unless requested. Seller is only responsible for proof of delivery to your location. In the event of theft after confirmed delivery, the buyer assumes all responsibility. Packing: Groups or sets of keys are generally shipped together in a tightly wrapped plastic bag. It has been our experience that keys are not seriously damaged when packed as a tight group. Valuable keys or single keys are usually packed individually. Special packing is available upon request, but large groups of common keys cannot be packed individually due to time restraints and postal box size and weight limits. Feedback: Please remember shipping delays, shipping costs and other issues are generally beyond our control. Although I try to inspect every key, some may have defects I honestly missed. In such cases I will refund your payment and pay for return shipping. Please remember this when leaving feedback. I will be happy to correct any issue. Please allow up to 30 days for feedback as we must honor the 14 days return period in addition to normal processing time. Copyright: All pictures are Copyrighted. Do not copy. All images watermarked.

Activists report shelling near Damascus airport
Feb 22, 7:27 AM (ET)
By ZEINA KARAM
BEIRUT (AP) - Syrian warplanes and artillery on Friday hit targets near Damascus International Airport, following a particularly bloody day of attacks in the Syrian capital that killed dozens and struck deep into President Bashar Assad's seat of power.
There were no immediate reports of casualties from Friday's shelling, which targeted the towns of Beit Sahm and Shebaa near the main airport road south of the capital, activists said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees also reported clashes in rebel strongholds of Daraya and Moadamiyeh, southwest of Damascus.
Recent rebel advances in the Damascus suburbs, combined with the bombings and three straight days of mortar attacks, mark the most sustained challenge of the civil war for control of Assad's powerbase.
The main opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, condemned the attack without accusing any specific group of carrying it out. It did, however, suggest that the regime allowed foreign terror groups to operate in Syria.
"The terrorist Assad regime bears the most responsibility for all the crimes that happen in the homeland because it has opened the doors to those with different agendas to enter Syria and harm its stability so it can hide behind this and use it as an excuse to justify its crimes," the group said in a statement.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but suspicion will likely fall upon one of the most extreme of Syria's myriad rebel factions, the al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra. The group, which the U.S. has designated as a terrorist organization, has claimed similar past bombings against regime targets.
On Friday, the Coalition said it would welcome U.S. and Russian mediation to negotiate a peace deal to end the country's civil wall but insisted it would not allow Assad or members of his security services to participate in the talks.
The announced came in a statement posted on the Coalition's Facebook page following two-day meetings in Cairo meant to try to firm up its position on whether to engage with the regime in talks.
"Bashar Assad and the security and military leadership responsible for the state of Syria today must step down and be considered outside this political process," the statement said. "They cannot be part of any political solution for Syria and must be held accountable for their crimes."
SNC chief Mouaz al-Khatib has angered some of his colleagues by offering talks with regime elements to help end the civil war. Friday's announcement appeared meant to set the boundaries for any future talks by stressing that Assad and his aides cannot be part of any negotiations.
The violence in Damascus follows a string of tactical victories in recent weeks for the rebels - the capture of the nation's largest hydroelectric dam and the overtaking of airbases in the northeast - that have contributed to the sense that the opposition may be gaining momentum.
But Damascus is the ultimate prize in the civil war, and many view the battle for the ancient city as the most probable endgame of a conflict, which has killed nearly 70,000 people, according to U.N. estimates.
The latest violence in the capital has shattered the sense of normalcy that the Syrian regime has desperately tried to maintain in Damascus, a city that has largely been insulated from the bloodshed and destruction that has left other urban centers in ruins.
The rebels first launched an offensive on Damascus in July, following a stunning bombing on a high-level government crisis meeting that killed four top regime officials, including Assad's brother-in-law and the defense minister. After that attack, rebel groups that had established footholds in the suburbs pushed in, battling government forces for more than a week before being routed and swept out.
Since then, government warplanes have pounded opposition strongholds on Damascus' outskirts, and rebels have managed only small incursions on the city's southern and eastern sides.

Digital Horizons: Space Invaders
For a century we've been industriously broadcasting radio programs all across the globe, with the great majority of programs received free of charge. After light bulbs, radios are probably the most ubiquitous electrical devices on earth. Radio is cool. Life is good.
Suddenly, all that changes as strange spacecraft appear in the sky, thousands of miles above the earth in cold, lonely space. These unmanned relay stations, designed to receive digital audio signals from earth and rebroadcast them to earthbound receivers, are small in stature, but their footprints cover continental America. If you're a terrestrial radio broadcaster, these invading birds, which threaten your livelihood, are as menacing as Death Stars.
When I originally heard of plans to establish not one but two satellite radio systems, I was intrigued but skeptical. Sirius and XM Radio independently proposed to build studios, create and acquire programming, launch satellites, and license receiver technology. Each would offer 100 coast-to-coast channels and charge from 10 to 13 bucks a month for the privilege of listening to their heavenly offerings. But would people pay for radio? Of course, some of us wondered the same thing about TV before cable.
No matter where you live, your AM/FM radio definitely doesn't get 100 clear channels. More important than quantity is diversity. Terrestrial stations tend to be pretty much mainstream (college radio is sometimes a notable exception), and much of the programming is bland, Top 40 fare. With 100 channels available and a range of programming that's intentionally very wide, satellite radio can offer a much more impressive selection. Unless your interests are exceptionally esoteric and narrow, you're likely to find plenty of cool channels to listen to. Since XM and Sirius are national services, even a small minority of listeners to any single channel can add up to a large number. The situation is quite different from local broadcasting, where many stations cater to the same demographic in a struggle just to survive.

The Washington Nationals today placed right-handed pitcher Ross Ohlendorf on the 15-Day DL, retroactive to August 1, with right shoulder inflammation and recalled left-handed pitcher Xavier Cedeno from Syracuse of the Triple-A International League. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.
Cedeno, 26, joins the Nationals for a third stint since being claimed off waivers from the Astros on April 23.
As a member of the Nationals, Cedeno has worked 1.1 scoreless innings and struck out one, working around a hit and a walk, in two appearances (June 9 vs. Minnesota, Day Game; July 13 at Colorado). He earned a hold by retiring the only batter he faced (Tyler Colvin) in Washington's 5-4 victory on July 13 at Coors Field.
Including five appearances with the Astros, Cedeno owns a 9.39 ERA (8 ER/7.2 IP) in seven games this season.
Cedeno is 0-1 with seven holds, one save (June 18, 2012 vs. Kansas City) and a 5.80 ERA (26 ER/40.1 IP) in 54 relief appearances spanning three seasons (2011-13) with Houston and Washington. He has successfully stranded 35 of 50 inherited baserunners (70%) during his big league career.
The 30 year-old Ohlendorf is 2-0 with one hold (July 4 vs. Milwaukee) and a 1.85 ERA (7 ER/34.0 IP) in 10 games/2 starts as a long reliever/spot starter for Washington this season.

Richard Mouw's Talking with Mormons encourages interfaith understanding
Over the past decade, Richard Mouw—evangelical (Calvinist) president of Fuller Theological Seminary—has been in dialogue with various Latter-day Saints in order to better understand Mormonism and to help Mormons better understand evangelical Christians. During Mitt Romney's presidential campaigns he became one of the go-to sources in news reports about Mormon/Evangelical relationships. He's taken a lot of heat for this within his religious community, going as far as apologizing […]Read More

The Emirate of Dubai risks losing $1.5 billion annually in re-export commerce, if the bilateral economic embargo between Pakistan and India ceases, reported Al-Hayat daily.
Indian and Pakistani prime ministers are scheduled to meet next week in New Delhi in an attempt to resolve controversies currently facing the two nations. One possible outcome of the talks may be the removal of trade barriers between the two, resulting in a decrease of activity at Dubai's port.
In the past, Pakistan and India relied heavily on Dubai for trade. Unofficial reports maintain that trade between India and Pakistan, most of which flows through Dubai's ports, reaches between $1.5 billion to two billion dollars yearly. ― (MENA Report)

Four spots down, eight to go in the NFL's playoff race. A quartet of teams -- Houston, New England, Denver and Atlanta -- RSVP'd to the postseason last week, slicing by one-third the number of available spots.
But lest you think there will not be any commotion in the season's final four weeks, know this: only two more playoff spots can be claimed in Week 14, and neither is likely to fall. So, we should head into Week 15 still stuck on eight open playoff berths, with at least four divisions still on the table.
What's on the line this week? A look at the current situation ...
* means team has clinched a playoff spot.
No. 1 seed: Houston Texans (11-1)* —Remaining games: at Patriots (9-3), vs. Colts (8-4), vs. Vikings (6-6), at Colts (8-4)
The Texans wrapped up a playoff spot last week but have not secured the AFC South ... yet. That division crown could come as soon as Sunday. A Houston win in New England plus an Indianapolis loss to the Titans would get the job done. And if that doesn't happen, the Texans can take matters into their own hands next week. The only real question that seems to remain for Houston: Will this team be the AFC's top seed come playoff time? Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 10
No. 2 seed: New England Patriots (9-3)* — Remaining games: vs. Texans (11-1), vs. 49ers (8-3-1), at Jaguars (2-10), vs. Dolphins (5-7)
New England clinched the AFC East with a Week 13 victory over Miami. Now the Patriots can set their sights on bigger targets, like a first-round bye and the No. 1 seed. The latter will depend greatly on Monday's showdown with Houston -- win and the Patriots put a ton of pressure on the Texans; a Houston win all but guarantees that the AFC playoff road will head through the Lone Star State. The Patriots' hope for a bye received a boost last week when Pittsburgh upset Baltimore. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 10
No. 3 seed: Baltimore Ravens (9-3) — Remaining games: at Redskins (5-6), vs. Broncos (9-3), vs. Giants (7-4), at Bengals (7-5)
The Ravens scored a 10 on the "playoff likelihood scale" last week, but that now looks like an error. The Ravens' loss to Pittsburgh put the AFC North back up for grabs and made Baltimore's difficult closing stretch that much more critical. Baltimore's magic number to secure a playoff spot sits at 2 -- any combination of Ravens wins and Pittsburgh (or Cincinnati) losses that add up to two locks up a berth. It's just not the sure thing it appeared to be headed into last week. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 9
No. 4 seed: Denver Broncos (9-3)* — Remaining games: at Raiders (3-9), at Ravens (9-3), vs. Browns (4-8), vs. Chiefs (2-10)
The Broncos are dancing, having claimed the AFC West title decisively. The drama for Denver now pertains to its playoff seed. Denver could finish anywhere from No. 1 to No. 4 in the AFC, though losses to both New England and Houston likely mean the third or fourth spot is where the Broncos will land. Next week's trip to Baltimore will be a huge one for both teams. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 10
No. 5 seed: Indianapolis Colts (8-4) — Remaining games: vs. Titans (4-8), at Texans (11-1), at Chiefs (2-10), vs. Texans (11-1)
From a pure mathematical perspective, Indianapolis' win over Detroit looms large in the standings -- Indianapolis kept one game up on both Pittsburgh and Cincinnati in the wild-card race, plus kept open the possibility of stealing the division from Houston. So long as the Colts take care of business against Tennessee and Kansas City, they should be golden in the wild-card race. Anything beyond that will require a 4-0 finish and a sweep of Houston. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 8
No. 6 seed: Pittsburgh Steelers (7-5) — Remaining games: vs. Chargers (4-8), at Cowboys (6-6), vs. Bengals (7-5), vs. Browns (4-8)
How 'bout that Charlie Batch? With Pittsburgh's playoff dreams slowly slipping away, Batch delivered a terrific performance to help the Steelers upset the Ravens. And take a look at that remaining schedule: Would it surprise anyone if Pittsburgh finished 4-0, especially if Ben Roethlisberger returns soon? Pittsburgh's most important game from here out is the Week 16 showdown with Cincinnati. But will that be for the AFC's final wild-card spot or the division crown? Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 7
Cincinnati Bengals (7-5) — Remaining games: Cowboys (6-6), at Eagles (3-9), at Steelers (7-5), vs. Ravens (9-3)
Cincinnati absolutely had to have its game Sunday in San Diego. By securing that road win, the Bengals set the table for an exciting finish -- highlighted by those two division games in Weeks 16 and 17. But a slip-up against Dallas or Philadelphia would put Cincinnati even further behind the 8-ball. The Bengals still control their playoff destiny, but Dallas could change that. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 5
Still alive: Jets (5-7), Bills (5-7), Dolphins (5-7), Browns (4-8), Chargers (4-8), Titans (4-8)
Eliminated: Raiders (3-9), Jaguars (2-10), Chiefs (2-10)
No. 1 seed: Atlanta Falcons (11-1)* — Remaining games: at Panthers (3-9), vs. Giants (7-4), at Lions (4-8), vs. Buccaneers (6-6)
The NFC South is in Atlanta's hands, officially. Now the Falcons can set their sights on securing the conference's top spot. A win plus losses by Chicago, Green Bay and San Francisco this week would cement Atlanta's status as the NFC's top dog. That set of results might be unlikely, but any two wins by the Falcons down the stretch would mean no NFC team could catch them. Of course, all four remaining contests on Atlanta's schedule could be tricky. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 10
No. 2 seed: San Francisco 49ers (8-3-1) — Remaining games: vs. Dolphins (5-7), at Patriots (9-3), at Seahawks (7-5), vs. Cardinals (4-8)
The 49ers let one get away last Sunday in St. Louis and now probably will need to wait until at least Week 15 to clinch a playoff spot (San Francisco needs a win plus losses from Dallas, Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Washington and St. Louis to seal that up this week). Circle that Week 16 trip to Seattle on your schedules -- if the 49ers don't have the NFC West title in tow by then, it will be a game of massive importance. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 9
No. 3 seed: Green Bay Packers (8-4) — Remaining games: vs. Lions (4-8), at Bears (8-4), vs. Titans (4-8), at Vikings (6-6)
Green Bay moved back atop the NFC North, thanks to Chicago's home loss to Seattle. That division race likely hinges on next week's Packers-Bears clash in Chicago. But the Packers still have work to do just to clinch a playoff spot -- though a first-round bye also is within reach. In other words, Green Bay's spot could fluctuate a bunch in the coming weeks. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 8
No. 4 seed: New York Giants (7-5) — Remaining games: vs. Saints (5-7), at Falcons (11-1), at Ravens (9-3), vs. Eagles (3-9)
Collars getting tight, Giants? New York's Monday night setback in Washington whittled the division lead to one game -- and the Giants have a brutal next three weeks. They'll probably need at least a 2-1 mark there to hold their ground as the NFC East leader. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 6
No. 5 seed: Chicago Bears (8-4) — Remaining games: at Vikings (6-6), vs. Packers (8-4), at Cardinals (4-8), at Lions (4-8)
Chicago sits behind the Giants in the playoff pecking order, but the Bears are closer to wrapping up a postseason bid. A 2-2 close ought to get it done (and 1-3 might suffice too). The next two weeks will determine just how high Chicago can aim. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 7
No. 6 seed: Seattle Seahawks (7-5) — Remaining games: vs. Cardinals (4-8), at Bills (5-7), vs. 49ers (8-3-1), vs. Rams (5-6-1)
The Seahawks' win over the Bears put a big dent in the NFC East's hope of claiming two playoff spots. Seattle also finishes with three games at home, where it's been pretty smooth sailing. Can the 12th Man help Seattle steal an NFC West title? If nothing else, the comforts of home give the Seahawks a major edge in trying to nail down a wild-card berth. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 6
Washington Redskins (6-6) — Remaining games: vs. Ravens (9-3), at Browns (4-8), at Eagles (3-9), vs. Cowboys (6-6)
For as exciting and cathartic as the Redskins' win over New York was for the franchise and its fans, there's work left to be done. The last four weeks set up nicely, provided Washington can turn around and knock off Baltimore on Sunday. Neither the Redskins nor the Cowboys have a game left against New York, but their Week 17 clash could be for all the NFC East marbles. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 5
Dallas Cowboys (6-6) — Remaining games: at Bengals (7-5), vs. Steelers (7-5), vs. Saints (5-7), at Redskins (5-6)
For the time being, consider Dallas third of the three NFC East hopefuls -- both in the standings and reality. The Cowboys already lost once to Washington, so that Week 17 rematch will be daunting, and Dallas will have a hard time finding even a win or two before that. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 3
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-6) — Remaining games: vs. Eagles (3-9), at Saints (5-7), vs. Rams (5-6-1), at Falcons (11-1)
Can the Buccaneers win in New Orleans and/or Atlanta? If not, they can forget about representing the NFC South in the playoffs. Tampa Bay lost to the Cowboys, Giants and Redskins earlier this season, so they're in rough tiebreaker shape. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 2
Minnesota Vikings (6-6) — Remaining games: vs. Bears (8-4), at Rams (5-6-1), at Texans (11-1), vs. Packers (8-4)
Sunday is a must-win for the Vikings, no doubt about it. Lose to the Bears for a second time in three weeks, and Minnesota would need to finish 3-0 and get a ton of help to reach the playoffs. Considering the Vikings close with Houston and Green Bay (plus a road game against an improved St. Louis team), that's a longshot. Likelihood of making the playoffs (out of 10): 1.5Still alive:

Following a recent market scan, we have spotted the +Directional Indicator is above the -Directional Indicator on shares of Impression Healthcare Limited (IHL.AX). Technical traders may be watching the reading to gauge bullish momentum on the stock.
Investors may be watching other technical indicators such as the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R. The Williams %R is a momentum indicator that helps measure oversold and overbought levels. This indicator compares the closing price of a stock in relation to the highs and lows over a certain time period. A common look back period is 14 days. Impression Healthcare Limited (IHL.AX)'s Williams %R presently stands at -12.50. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would indicate an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would indicate an oversold situation.
Taking a closer look from a technical standpoint, Impression Healthcare Limited (IHL.AX) presently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 238.12. Typically, the CCI oscillates above and below a zero line. Normal oscillations tend to stay in the range of -100 to +100. A CCI reading of +100 may represent overbought conditions, while readings near -100 may indicate oversold territory. Although the CCI indicator was developed for commodities, it has become a popular tool for equity evaluation as well.
Checking in on some other technical levels, the 14-day RSI is currently at 66.85, the 7-day stands at 80.01, and the 3-day is sitting at 90.88. Many investors look to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of a particular stock to help identify overbought/oversold conditions. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder in the late 1970's. Wilder laid out the foundation for future technical analysts to further investigate the RSI and its relationship to underlying price movements. Since its inception, RSI has remained very popular with traders and investors. Other technical analysts have built upon the work of Wilder. The 14-day RSI is still a widely popular choice among technical stock analysts.
Checking in on moving averages, the 200-day is at 0.05, the 50-day is 0.02, and the 7-day is sitting at 0.02. Moving averages may be used by investors and traders to shed some light on trading patterns for a specific stock. Moving averages can be used to help smooth information in order to provide a clearer picture of what is going on with the stock. Technical stock analysts may use a combination of different time periods in order to figure out the history of the equity and where it may be headed in the future. MA's can be calculated for any time period, but two very popular time frames are the 50-day and 200-day moving averages.
The 14-day ADX for Impression Healthcare Limited (IHL.AX) is currently at 43.91. In general, and ADX value from 0-25 would represent an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would point to an extremely strong trend.

Here you can see a picture of a fork,knife and a spoon that has a very interesting features. All of these eating instruments has a 1 kg weight at the point where the handle should be. When you are eating with these table tools you are lifting weights and with every bite your biceps are getting stronger. Of course this is just a commercial or a funny art project because those things are not very comfortable in your hand and i am not even talking about how could it feel when you need to eat with them.

Venable goes deep to send Padres walking off in finale
SAN DIEGO -- As if Will Venable's career-high 15-game hitting streak was not impressive enough already, he added his first career walk-off home run to his red-hot run.
Venable hit a solo shot in the ninth to give the San Diego Padres a 4-3 win and a split of the four-game series as the club rallied back against the New York Mets in front of 24,704 fans at Petco Park on Sunday.Full Game Coverage
SAN DIEGO -- As if Will Venable's career-high 15-game hitting streak was not impressive enough already, he added his first career walk-off home run to his red-hot run.
Venable hit a solo shot in the ninth to give the San Diego Padres a 4-3 win and a split of the four-game series as the club rallied back against the New York Mets in front of 24,704 fans at Petco Park on Sunday.Full Game Coverage
During the streak, Venable has been on a tear, batting .377 with 11 extra-base hits, and said this is as good as he has felt at the plate at any point during his career.
"Probably. It seems like I'm feeling good, and also getting some of those hits to fall in," Venable said. "It's a combination of the two."
After tying the game at 3-3 in the eighth, the Padres turned to closer Huston Street, who pitched a scoreless ninth to earn the win.
Venable led off the next frame against Mets left-hander Pedro Feliciano, and drew upon an at-bat from the previous night for help.
"Even though I bunted against [Feliciano] yesterday, I got a chance to see his slider," Venable said. "I had an idea what it looked like, and he threw me two fastballs before that pitch. In the back of my mind, I was hoping he was going to throw me a slider, and he threw one that caught enough of the plate and I was able to hit it out."
Talking about Venable in superlatives has become commonplace for Padres manager Bud Black lately.
"We have talked about Will, almost every night we talk about it," Black said. "He's playing great baseball, he really is. He really plays the game hard, and you get rewarded for playing the game hard, and he's being rewarded. He's swinging the bat great, playing great defense. We are all proud of Will. He comes in every day fresh and wanting to help the Padres win. That's his sole goal."
Venable added a fine defensive play for good measure as he snared a drive off the bat of Marlon Byrd in the eighth inning that arguably would have gone over the wall in center and given the Mets a one-run lead.
"I think for everybody, if you're playing well in one element of the game it can carry over into other parts," Venable said. "As far as that ball, I'm not sure if it would've gone out or not. He hit it well, I just tried to get back there and catch it."
Earlier in the game, Venable extended his hitting streak with an infield single in the fifth that ticked off the glove of Mets starter Matt Harvey and pushed across Logan Forsythe for San Diego's first run. Alexi Amarista followed with a sacrifice fly to deep right-center that Juan Lagares made a long run to track down as Nick Hundley came home.
"I thought we had some good at-bats against [Harvey]," third baseman Chase Headley said. "We hit some balls hard that went to people, and then we had the inning where things kind of went our way. We had the bloop single and the chopper that got in there, but that's baseball sometimes."
Hundley had three hits in the game after homering on Saturday night in his return from paternity leave.
Padres starter Eric Stults kept the game tied until Omar Quintanilla and pinch-hitter Andrew Brown used back-to-back doubles to give the Mets a 3-2 advantage and chase Stults from the game.
"I felt better today than I did in my last start in Colorado," Stults said. "It's always nice to be at home. It was a great win for us today to even up the series."
Stults yielded three runs on six hits while walking two and striking out five.
Harvey allowed two runs on six hits and struck out six. He did not walk a batter.

On the madness that has become her life: "It's insane! Once somebody finds out, you have to get the hell out of wherever you are. People freak out. And the photographers, they're vicious. They're mean. They're like thugs. I don't event want to drive around by myself anymore. It's fucking dangerous."
On her loss of privacy: "Somebody knocked on my hotel room door and asked for a light, then said that they were a big fan. I was like, 'Do you really need me to light your cigarette? How do you know what room I'm in?' I can't be by myself and I like being by myself."
On criticism of her public manner: "I think it's funny that when I go onstage to accept an award, they think I'm nervous, uncomfortable, and awkward—and I am—but those are bad words for them."
On her red-carpet demeanor: "People say that I'm miserable all the time. It's not that I'm miserable, it's just that somebody's yelling at me…I literally, sometimes, have to keep myself from crying…It's a physical reaction to the energy that's thrown at you."
On caring: "I hate it when they say I don't give a shit, because nobody cares more than I do. I'm telling you I don't know anybody who does this that gives a shit more than I do."
On Team Edward vs. Team Jacob: "I would never cheapen my relationships by talking about them. People say, 'Just say who you're dating. Then people will stop being so ravenous about it.' It's like, No they won't! They'll ask for specifics."

My grandma has this in the countryside
View from up the hills behind her house
And the summer
Ooh, baby birds! And the meadow is stunning. It's lovely to see a proper meadow, what with intensive farming having destroyed so many of them.
"Lost Potential"... orchid buds that ended up being blasted, never flowering.
"Beach Stones"... laid out on some wood, just fooling around
"Egg Snack"... one of my favorites. A medium boiled egg with tumeric, paprika, fresh chives, and salt. Very tasty and nutritious at the same time.
awesome pics, Gary!! And there I thought I am the only one here with a weakness for close ups, lol.
You have an excellent eye for interesting motives.
And I love the baby swallows and the meadow, Bocco. The landscape looks very much like the area I live in, only the building style is different and our mountains are less ragged (ours are very old and worn down to soft round shapes).
Here in Bavaria, the blue flowers in the pic are called Wegwarte (waits at the road) as they mostly grow along roads and paths. It's one of my favourite flowers
There's a legend about the plant's name:
a young man was forced into the army and had to go to war. His betrothed waited at the road for him to return, wearing the blue dress he liked best so that he should be able to spot her from afar. He never returned, though, and she kept waiting for years until she was literally rooted to the spot and gradually turned into the blue waits-at-the-road flower.
On a more prosaical note: the roots of this plant were cut, toasted and ground as a coffee-substitute during and after the war. The leaves and buds are edible, too. The plant is the ancestor of our lettuce, belgian endive (aka chicoree) and radiccio.
No, they are baseballs.
Went to a Long Island Ducks game this evening with my son Ian. You were able to go onto the field before the game and get autographs from the team players.
Ian on the field
The only autograph we got was of the Bench Coach Bud Harrelson, who played for the Mets.
Last time I saw a baseball it was on Sisko's desk.
Very cool shot ... and story. I haven't made it to a Ducks game yet, but I've been to a few Cyclones games. Minor League ball games are great for the youngsters. As much as mine enjoyed running the bases at Citi Field last year, she much preferred watching the game at Coney Island.
love the pics, Gary! I'm glad I convinced you to post more! you have the eye a photographer needs and the imagination
that's a beuatiful story! thanks for sharing and for the good words
here is something I took this april
and in february
a friend's cats
I have always loved going to Minor League games. I have gone to many, the Sommerset Patriots in Bridgewater NJ, the Newark Bears in Newark NJ, the NJ Jackals who play at Yogi Berra Stadium in Montclair NJ, even saw several games down in Atlantic City with the NJ Blue Claws. I have always wanted to see the Cyclones, so I should probably make it over to see them before the season is over.
awesome pics, Boco! You managed to get the essence of summer and early spring in the first 2 pics. And I love the cat picture, too! anyone else who reflexively has to yawn when looking at it? LOL it's so infectuous!)
I really gotta load a few of my old ones up to my server. I specialize in macros, preferably against the light.
Went to Taconic State Park in upstate New York on Saturday, it is situated on the corner of New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Got to visit one of my favorite places, Bash Bish Falls.
that a beautiful place, TH!
to continue the idea:
here's my autumn:
montasola, it
and winter
my lemon tree
and a few pics from a reserve park in south italy
Took a weekend away from being a city girl.
Dear god, what happened to your testicles?!
omg thats funny cause when I first saw that, that was my first thought as well.
Mmmh, coffee!
Of course, they could also be ovaries.
Boco, I love those shots, especially the snow covered lemon. That nature preserve in southern Italy looks beautiful. What town/city is it near?
Kestra, what a beautiful seaside place to be. Where is it? Do you sail that Hobiecat? I love sailing those... so fast and stable. Traveling by the wind is such a terrific feeling.
@Gary7 thanks a lot. That's National park of Sila. It's huge,near a few cities. I think you didn't get my last pm yesterday..Will write you again tomorrow,now I'm on cell
My husband's grandparents have a farm in northern Michigan. Like, really really far north (while still being in lower Michigan). They also have a cottage off of Lake Huron nearby. The Hobiecat belongs to my father-in-law. He had one when he was younger and got this one a few years back. This was our first time up there at the same time with my husband's parents, so he took me out on the lake. It was awesome! It was pretty windy so it got a little crazy at one point, but I loved it.

It's been said all year that if Michigan could snag a couple more key skill players to go with the offensive line it is assembling in the class of 2013, this could be quite a juggernaut in the next few years.
This weekend, the Wolverines have a chance to make a big impression when rival Michigan State comes to town. They'll host Richmond (Va.) native Derrick Green, a Sporting News Top 125 running back who has all the colleges drooling. He'll be checking out Michigan this weekend, but has November visits scheduled to Auburn and Oregon. He visited Tennessee, too.
He is a special back.
"College coaches like my speed at 4.31 in the 40-yard dash," Green told Sporting News earlier this year. "They also like my size at 220 (pounds), my vision, my hands, my power and the yards I get after contact. It's usually between four and seven more yards. That's what makes me a BCS-level recruit."
SN Top 125 recruits: 1-10 | 11-25 | 26-75 | 76-125
Also, SN125 DB Leon McQuay III thought about traveling to Michigan this weekend, but is now going to Ann Arbor the weekend of Nov. 9, his father confirmed with Sporting News on Thursday. They will also visit Oregon and Florida State in upcoming weeks, and already checked out Vanderbilt.
Another key visit will be that of David Dawson, the SN125 lineman who recently parted ways with Michigan and almost instantly proclaimed Florida his new leader. Dawson will travel to Gainesville, Fla., to watch Gators this weekend play South Carolina. The Detroit native will have a fellow Michigan native with him in OL Cameron Dillard, who committed to the Gators many months ago.
In other tidbits, SN125 DB/QB Juwaan Williams will check out Clemson this weekend after previously going to Notre Dame and Oregon. Williams is a Georgia native. … SN125 DB and Fresno (Calif.) native L.J. Moore will take an official visit to Oregon State this weekend. Visits to Oklahoma and UCLA will follow, and don't rule out nearby Cal.

Personal computing discussed

Edit 2: If your Mobo is the one I think, with a EUFI bios, the command should be on the Boot tab, called "Post Report", set that to 4 seconds just to test it.
Edit: Also, does your bios have a "clear ram at bootup" option, that could be something to try.

Good luck!
MadManOriginal wrote:So you're using the onboard audio and LAN? It looks like the 12/25 and 12/26 crashes are audio and LAN related.
I rarely use mobo manufacturer website-provided on-board device drivers because they get lazy and stop updating them when they stop selling the motherboard or it's not the latest chipset even though Realtek etc keeps putting out updates. (For example, for your motherboard the 'latest' Realtek audio drivers are from 12/2010...yeah, not the latest drivers by a long shot.) I don't use any special functions which mobo versions of drivers might expose though, especially for audio - I just use 2-channel s/pdif out so I don't know if the following suggestion will cut out some functionality. Anyway, just go to the manufacturer of the audio and LAN chipsets and get their latest drivers for your OS. It looks like you have an Intel NIC and Realtek audio, both ought to be easy to find on their websites.

I have no particular reason to think my SSD is bad. Curious how/why the PSU might be an issue?

TheEmrys wrote:I'd turn off your computer, let it sit for a good 30 minutes or so, and then start looking at it. With it being all over the place with LAN and on-board Audio, I'd look to your chipset or possibly capacitors. Does your chipset have a fan? Does it spin? See an scorch marks? Any capcitors leaking (for those that remember, those were the BAD old days of mobos!)?
For myself, I wouldn't look at your PSU. If it isn't screeching/whining and if you have good power while its running, I wouldn't worry about how things go on shutdown.
Also, do you get these issues when it hibernates?
just brew it! wrote:The fact that the error is different each time is an indication that it isn't a problem with a specific device or driver. General flakiness like this is usually a problem with the motherboard or RAM.
Ethyriel wrote:Or power supply, a bad PSU can manifest itself in any number of ways. I'd definitely run memtest for 2-3 days, a couple passes doesn't cut it. The only driver I'd really consider is the chipset, so make sure you have the latest from Intel's website, not the motherboard manufacturers. Also make sure you're on the latest BIOS, and see if your SSD has a firmware update.
I'd pull everything out of the case and try booting on a non-conductive surface, it could be a bad mount shorting out something on the motherboard. And the PSU is usually the easiest thing to try before replacing the motherboard.

Run Memtest86+, especially after experiencing a BSOD.
anotherengineer wrote:I concur with Krogoth and JBI, I had strange issues like that with a laptop, MS mem check came back clean as did another one. It lead me to believe it was a bad software update (virus scanner or adobe, etc.) I beat around the bush for awhile.
Put on memtest 86+ one night before bed, the next day there was literally hundreds of memory errors, pulled out one stick, re-ran and indeed it was 1 bad stick of ram giving me all that grief.
ronch wrote:This obviously looks like data is being corrupted somewhere in the system and when things don't match up, you get those BSODs. I would test RAM and the SSD thoroughly and do a reformat just to be sure a corrupted OS is not the culprit. If all these check out ok, it could be your motherboard. Btw, anybody here also thinks this could be caused by a bad SATA cable?
anotherengineer wrote:Memtest 86 and memtest 86+ are different programs, just an fyi.
Always tricky troubleshooting these things, bad or loose sata cables, another culprit.
Try the 86+ version form a bootable ISO CD rom disk, if possible, that's how I found my ram errors.
Good luck.
