So far, very good for Nationals
Team 'like kid in a candy store' on first day of draft
By Bill Ladson / MLB.com
Brown was in another world for a reason. He has been in charge of the organization's draft since 2002, and for the first time, he is not thinking about selecting the most signable player because of a limited budget. Under the orders of the Lerner group, Brown and the rest of his think tank drafted the best players available. In fact, their first six picks were high school players.
The team had two first-round picks and selected third baseman Chris Marrero with the 15th pick and right-hander Colton Willems with the 22nd selection, while Black, Englund, shortstop Stephen King and left-hander Glenn Gibson were the team's next four picks. These players are projected to be big-league ready in three or four years.
"I was like a kid in a candy store. If you noticed, we took six high school players in a row. We have not been able to do that [in the past]," Brown said. "A couple of them are signability issues, but in building for the future, I think we are going to go all out and [general manager] Jim Bowden made it clear that we are going to take the best player available each time we picked and not worry about signability being an issue."
Brown said the player that will be toughest to sign is King. He was slated to be a first-round pick, but he fell to the third round because of a minor left knee injury. It ended up hurting his performance on the diamond. King, who worked out for the Nationals on May 28 at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium, already has signed a letter of intent to play baseball for LSU.
"He slid under the radar and we were able to get him. I anticipate him being the toughest," Brown said. "He went to workouts before the draft and wasn't able to run the 60 time. So some teams backed off. But we saw him swing the bat early this spring, so we knew what he was."
Brown believes the Nationals will not have any problems signing Marrero or Willems.
The right-handed-hitting Marrero also worked out for the Nationals on May 28 and impressed the organization. He went to Monsignor Pace High School in Miami and hit over .400 with 11 home runs and 33 RBIs in 2006. Four of those homers came in the postseason and he was awarded state 4-A-1A first-team honors.
Some in the Nationals' think tank wanted outfielder Chris Parmelee with their second-first round pick, but he was already taken by the Twins with the 20th pick. Willems turned out to be a great choice. He played for the East club in the AFLAC All-American Classic last August, striking out four batters in three scoreless innings of relief. This past fall, Willems earned Most Valuable Pitcher honors at the '05 World Wood Bat Association's 17-and-under National Championship, tossing a three-hit shutout in the semifinals. The 6-foot-4, 185-pounder went 6-2 with a 1.68 ERA as a junior in 2005 to earn first-team all-county and Class 2A all-state honorable mention honors. He also had 69 strikeouts while allowing just 14 hits in his 53 2/3 innings.
"He is a big guy [6-4] with fastball command. He has a really good slider," Brown said of Willems. "We had Willems ranked higher than [Kyle Drabek]. Willems is a more physical pitcher and he had better fastball command."
While the Nationals are happy with the players they selected, they were hoping shortstop Emmanuel Burris would be available in the second round, but the Giants took him with the 33rd pick in the draft.
Washington doesn't have a solid leadoff hitter in the organization. Burris, who attends Kent State and is from the D.C. area, could have solved that problem, for he has speed and patience at the plate.
"He was in our mix, but we were able to get a power arm [in Willems]. I thought there was a chance, but we knew it was a slim chance. But we need to get staring pitching in the organization."
Incoming president Stan Kasten said it was important to draft pitching, and the Nationals followed that edict by drafting 13 pitchers. Brown is really high on Black and right-hander Zechry Zinicola, who went in the sixth round.
Black went 4-1 with a 1.66 ERA and one save for Lenape (N.J.) High as a prep senior. Black throws three pitches: a fastball, curve and changeup. His fastball has touched 95 and, thus, he averaged 14 strikeouts per nine innings his senior season.
"He was still on the board with the second round. He has that type of talent that can really help your system," Brown said.
Zinicola is a closer for Arizona State. He is 2-3 with a 3.95 ERA, and has struck out 45 batters in 43 1/3 innings.
"I saw him throw 90-95 miles per hour with a really good slider. We have taken some relievers that could get there quick. He could be a fast mover. He has closer makeup," Brown said. "He is one of my favorite picks after the fifth round."
Here's a round-by-round list of Tuesday's selections:
Round 1: Chris Marrero, 3b, Monsignor Pace High School: Washington compared Marrero's bat to Marlins slugger Miguel Cabrera, Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez or Brewers outfielder Carlos Lee. Washington thought Marrero would be gone when it was its turn to pick, but Marrero suffered a hamstring injury during the season and his stock dropped soon thereafter. He ended up missing two games.
Round 1: Colton Willems, RHP, John Carroll Catholic High School:
A man of few words, Willems arm says a lot more. His fastball is clocked as high as 97 mph.
Round 2: Sean Black, RHP, Lenape [NJ] High School
In a head-to-head match up with shortstop Bill Rowell (Baltimore's top selection) earlier this season, Rowell went hitless in three at-bats. Black has signed a non-binding letter of intent to attend Seton Hall University, which happens to be the alma mater of Brown's.
Round 2: Stephen Englund, RHP, Bellevue (Wash.) High School:
He batted .352 with four home runs, 16 RBIs and six stolen bases in just 54 at-bats this season for Bellevue. Englund, who is 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, played shortstop during his high-school career, but was drafted by the Nationals as an outfielder. Alex Rodriguez, Gary Sheffield and Chipper Jones are examples of players that played shortstop in the prep ranks, but enjoyed All-Star seasons and careers at other positions.
Round 3: Stephen King, SS, Winter Park (Fla.) High School:
The right-handed hitter earned All-Metro Conference honors and All-Central Florida Team honors this season after batting .355 with five home runs and 23 steals.
Round 4: Glenn Gibson, Center Moriches (N.Y.) High School
Round 5: Cory VanAllen, LHP, Baylor University
Round 6: Zechry Zinicola, RHP, Arizona State
Round 7: Samuel Brown, RHP, Millbrook (N.C.) High School
Round 8: Sean Rooney, C, Saddleback Community College
Round 9: Joey Rosas, LHP, Yavapai Community College
Round 10: Marcus Salmon, RHP, Miami Sunset High School
Round 11: Desmond Jones, RHP, Middle Georgia College
Round 12: Cole Kimball, RHP, Centenary College
Round 13: Hassan Pena, RHP, Palm Beach Community College
Round 14: Brett McMillan, 1B, UCLA
Round 15: Dustin Dickerson, 3B, Midway (Tex.) High School

Kentucky to Require Piroplasmosis Testing
- Dec 6, 2010
- Topics:
The Kentucky Department of Agriculture has issued a letter stating that, effective Jan. 1, 2011, any horse shipping to a racetrack in the state must have a certificate showing it is negative for equine piroplasmosis.
In a letter to state track operators, E.S. (Rusty) Ford, equine programs manager for the ag department, said he and state veterinarian Robert Stout, DVM, are instituting the tests as a result of uncertainty over the prevalence of the disease, which had previously been thought to be more prevalent in Quarter Horses.
Attached to the letter was a map showing the geographic distribution of 550 horses testing positive for EP in the United States since October 2009. According to the map, the largest number of cases had been in Texas, with 432, followed by New Mexico with 25. Most other major racing/breeding states had fewer than 10 EP positives, with only one reported in Kentucky.
In his letter, Ford said an incomplete list shows negative EP certificates are required for admittance to tracks and/or training facilities in Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Equine piroplasmosis, a tick-borne non-contagious blood disease, results from infection by the protozoa Babesia caballi or Theileria equi (formerly Babesia equi). In most cases, piroplasmosis presents an acute infection, with fever, loss of appetite, malaise, labored or rapid respiration and congestion of the mucus membranes. In rare cases the disease can be fatal.
Earlier this year, four horses at Calder Casino & Race Course were euthanized after they tested positive for equine piroplasmosis.
Ford said the requirement that horses shipping onto grounds of a Kentucky track have a negative EP certificate would likely be in effect through the fall 2011 race meets.
"Effective January 1, 2011, no horse shall be allowed entry onto a Kentucky racetrack without verification that the required testing has been completed," Ford said. "The testing is not a requirement for racing, but simply qualifying the horse for access to the track."

What's Your Ocean Wish?
As we turn the page on 2012, we celebrate what we've achieved this year and take a look at your ocean wishes for the future. With a movement of AWARE divers one million strong - we'll continue to elevate solutions for the ocean worldwide.
During 2012 alone, you've removed more than 40,000kgs of trash from the ocean. You supported the creation of the world's largest network of marine parks in Australia, launched innovative Ocean Action Projects globally and collected 120,000 signatures to protect sharks and rays. You even helped us put an end to shark finning in Europe. What an amazing year! What's your wish for the ocean?
This November Blue Guru Conservation, Thailand, launched their Ocean Action Project to campaign for expanded and strengthened "no fishing" zones in Surin & Similan National Parks. They topped off a great year with their first Finathon to raise funds for Project AWARE's global campaign against shark finning. "My ocean wish is that we soon see the effective action required to preserve whale sharks, manta rays and turtles in Thailand's National Marine Parks. These endangered species face threats from the fishing industry and marine debris and effective conservation action is required before it is too late. For several years Blue Guru has led eco-education programs to raise divers' awareness about turtle and shark conservation and we continue to do so with a Manta Ray specialty planned for 2013," said Helen Macnee, Blue Guru Conservation.
If you're not directly involved with grassroots conservation you can still take action. Concerned about coral reefs, Carly Winner, age 15, Wisconsin, USA, presented at her local school to inspire fellow students. "I live in Wisconsin and everyday I wish I was at the beach scuba diving. Being a scuba diver changed my whole perspective on the ocean," said Carly.
"I wish more people cared for our reefs. I want people to understand that if the reefs die, we can pretty much say goodbye to the ocean. I want everyone to understand how serious this is and as divers, we need to do our part and keep these corals healthy and strong. Get the word out, donate, volunteer, do anything you can to help our reefs. Think of the turtles, fish, rays, eels, sharks, and all the other marine life out there calling for your help. We are the voice to these voiceless animals and they are just screaming for our help," said Carly.
What's your ocean wish this holiday season? Add your inspiration to our Facebook Ocean Wish page or if you have a vision for a clean, healthy and abundant ocean planet, please consider a gift.PADI will match your donation for the ocean - dollar for dollar - up to $20,000 by December, 31st2012.
"I wish for a sustainable ocean ecosystem. I love sharks and I'd do anything in my power to have a sustainable ocean ecosystem. As a dive instructor, I really feel it's my responsibility to do as much as I can to protect our ocean,"Jack Power, Western Australia.
"Our ocean wish is to make every human being aware the vault of treasure and wonder our ocean is and how important the welfare of the ocean is for the welfare of everybody and everything on this planet. Love and protect the ocean; you'll love and protect your family, your friends, yourself and all life on Earth," said Janne Aihos, Bali Hai Diving, Indonesia.
"I wish for my grandsons to have the same access to ocean life in the future that I've been privileged to experience. It's my wish to see our children view the ocean as a wondrous resource, one to look after and nurture instead of one to exploit. I truly believe we are dependent on the ocean for our existence on this planet. I support Project AWARE for my family and my family of divers. It really is that simple." Russell Krogh, Deep Blue Quest, Korea.

Discussion in 'Strings' started by alexwawrinka, Nov 29, 2012.
Anyone has tried the new Polyfibre string " Panthera" ?
No, but cool case.
Amazing color. Though it remains the case that Polyfibre seem to be intent on giving their strings meaningless names that don't give any indication of the string characteristics eg. Viper, Cobra, Panthera.
Very nice packaging.
I seriously just shook my head when I saw the name and said "are you kidding me, another one?". There is no way they are making loads of money with like 10 different polys, each in 4 gauges.
Good lord, I was exaggerating, but they do make 10:
2. Viper
3. Black Venom
4. Black Venom Rough
5. Cobra
7. TCS Rapid
8. Hexablade
9. Poly Hitec
10. Hitec Premium
Overall, the gauges they provide poly in is:
Poly Hitec is available in all of the above except 1.18. That's just too many strings, how are they making money?
It is time to play with the ferocity of a panther and the cunning of this big cat. Polyfibre Panthera incorporates the characteristics you need for this aggressive style of play. Its crisp, precise feel imparts the needed control and touch that compliments drop shots that drop hard and corner shots that your opponent has no chance of returning. It is a hard hitting string when you need to rely on forceful forehands, backhands and volley put aways. The combination of two different polyester materials has resulted in a technological advancement that gives Panthera a tacky characteristic: The string actually grips the ball for optimal spin control. Panthera is easy on the arm and hard on the competition. Our unique Standardized Molecular Distribution (SMD) technology insures you will get the tension maintenance, durability and dampening qualities that are the hallmark of our high performance strings.
At random, I have chosen the following:
Players will immediately notice the high shock-absorbing qualities of this string. Polyfibre Viper provides amazing touch, control and precision coupled with maximum power. Polyfibre engineers have applied the newly developed SMD (Standardized Molecular Distribution) technology together with a corona coating to further enhance the quality of this string. Each molecule is reformed and realigned into a highly bonded, selectively cross-linked molecular structure; molecules are well arranged and distributed throughout the entire string body which is specifically designed to outperform competitors in elasticity, repulsive power and durability. The string's surface structure provides fantastic spin potential as well as preventing string slippage and the added comfort factor will sustain players through long matches as it is easy on the arm and highly durable. This is a great string for advanced and professional players who like to be in control of their game at all times and still want that extra power when they need it.
As Torres said, their names are of no help to let you decide when their own descriptions describe the same strings.
Panthera sounds like something out of thundercats...
I'm currently testing the 1,20mm gauge.
The color is actually a translucent red.
If those descriptions are anything to go by, Polyfibre need a new marketing department. Nice packaging but what does playing like a panther mean?
Many strings have names that mean absolutely zilch.
Tecnifibre... Red Code, Black Code, X.Code. The only one different from them is Ruff Code which refers to the surface, but the others?
Now as for the "Panthera" string. It is different, it's not another Viper or Black Venom.
Black Code - its black
Red Code - its red
X Code - has an unusual construction, a certain 'X' factor in its manufacturing.
Ruff Code - has a rough surface.
My first thought was Brian Fantana's cologne in Anchorman
And as stated previously, it doesn't give you any useful info.
Red, Black? Please! ...
Other examples Signum Pro Poly Plasma, MSV Co-Focus, Babolat Revenge, Gosen Super Tec AK Pro. Just to name a few.
Names of numerous strings regardless of manufacturer don't give info. They're a name which in the marketing view needs to attract attention.
The name should be catchy etc.
The sad part is that this thread is getting derailed by nonsense... rate the string, not its name.
with this string you will play like mecir, also known as "the cat". your agility will be breathtaking - of course that has nothing to do with your strokes, but with this string you will finally set up your feet properly to top atp levels, although passed. nevertheless, it would be a huge benefit once you get into proper striking position. when you feel like a panther on the prowl your opponent, read prey, will never know what struck it, so you don't really need any shots anymore - you sure make victims. when you play with panther like a panther not many will dare to challenge you.
How about a review when you're finished testing?
Yeah, no problem. Still this string is not my cup of tee.
As I stated previously it's not a Viper or Black Venom clone, which I like the most out of the whole offer.
I'm testing a full Panthera 1,20mm setup, Panthera 1,20 in the mains with Omni in the crosses... and will probably test a setup of Panthera 1,25mm in the mains and Black Venom 1,15mm in the crosses, even though I'm not a fan of mixing polys.
Let me know what aspect of the string you don't like.
I'd appreciate a review of Black Venom as well. It is supposed to be a very soft poly, which intrigues me.
I don't like polys with crisp feel. I prefer a really soft, cushy almost mushy feel from strings. And Panthera is a crisp feeling poly, although not uncomfortable it's just not up my alley.
Although Panthera is a control oriented string it still offers ample power.
A full Panthera setup is for bigger hitters who want to retain control but have a bit of a boost in the power department.
As for Black Venom, it is one of my favourite polys.
Dynamic, comfortable, soft, nice spin but I hit flat so not the best to judge.
My go to poly, so to speak.
^ agreed. don't rate the name...unless u feel the need.
You're misunderstanding the point. With the exception of Hexablade, all Polyfibre strings are round +- some orange-peel coating. Other companies who are not even prominent on the radar market strings with pointless names because they're completely different. Solinco makes Tour Bite, Barb Wire and Revolution. One is a square, one is twisted, one is round. Incredibly easy to tell apart and they are given completely different descriptions. Signum Pro makes a huge amount of poly strings, but again, they're different. SPPP is their best known, made for control and is bright orange. SPPPure is the uncolored version of that. Tornado is twisted to hell and back for spin. Hyperion is marketed as the smooth variant of Tornado (both in the "Blackline" series). SPPHex is a hexagonal version of SPPP. They make some other ones, but I honestly can't remember what they are because they just market them generically. Polyfibre does that with all of their strings. I want to try PF poly strings, but since they make too many all with the exact same bumf, I have no idea where to even begin so I don't bother.
regarding solinco products may i inform you that in spite of being marketed as square, the tour bite practically sports five edges which in my take would make it pentagonal. the revolution is not round but hexagonal, the round one is called outlast.
don't ask me why they call the tour bite square, but i can tell you for sure it has five edges. i had a minor dispute about this with a friend and i was claiming it is square, so we took out some thinner markers and did mark all the surfaces and surprise, surprise, there were five marks to make to complete a revolution.
Thank you for the info! Regardless, they are all different which was the sole point of what I was trying to say
yes of course, but then two round poly strings from the same producer don't have to be the same, they can be quite very different. of course this marketing thing with weird names is more than questionable because you are not even in most of the cases try to associate some characteristics of the name (panther, viper, venom, firestorm etc.) with the string.
but on the other hand i was thinking about what data suppliers should be supplying on the package regarding the strings capabilities and i basically stopped pretty soon as i realized that most of the data supplied would vary to a certain, and sometimes considerable, extend depending on the tension, the framesize, the stringpattern etc. you can devise some figures but they would not really be telling much i guess to the regular consumer.
i am pretty sure that you or i, which have dedicated quite some time to not only this sport but obviously also to the hobby of stringtesting, could issue some recommendations to a player we know (i mean playstyle and level, stick he uses etc.) based on some general data published, be it for instance as tw-university does it, but for the regular consumer, i think such information would only confuse him even more. it would be difficult to explain why a soft string does not neccessarily have to be more powerful or even armfriendly, or that a stiff string can eventually be less fatiguing by having a higher energy return. all these aspects change with batspeed and more often than not they do not change in a linear way.
stroking technique does really have a huge impact on the behaviour of the string - when i play competitively i do apply huge amounts of spin. when i just fool around a little bit i play flat like johnny mac and all strokes with the continental grip - the ball feels completely different, there is not only a different batspeed but also a different angle of impact.
the more i know the less i know.
Many thanks for the review.
So I take it that Black Venom is soft and mushy, not crisp at all, right?
I like the type of strings that are soft as in comfortable but crisp. So Panthera would more likely be my cup of tea?
I tried 6 of those listed and my favorite of the bunch is TCS due to ample amounts of power and spin versus Venom which is has more spin but tension maintenance is poor on these strings. I think I will pass on Polyfibre brand from now on.
Thundercats ROAR !!!
Cool package, probably the best out there.
Alot of the Aussiekids in the national academy program are using panthera. Especially the girls.
IMHO yes.
I think so, yes. There's no better way than just play with it really.
Different technique, different racquets etc.
All of these things make a difference.
What do you think of Pantheras tension maintenance?
Yeah, thanks. Good girl.

After each directory source is configured, the synchronization parameters are configured to match Example Bank's requirements as explained in these section:
The Attributes settings reflect Example Bank's requirement to synchronize changes to a user's password, full name, and login. The destinationindicator <-\> activedirectorydomainname <-\> user_nt_domain_name mapping displays because it synchronizes multiple Windows domains.
In the Console, click the Configuration tab, then click the Attributes tab.
Under Synchronized Attributes, enter the attributes that Example Bank requires to synchronize with Directory Server.
Mapping an attribute to the synthetic activedirectorydomainname or user_nt_domain_name attribute is not unique to deployments that have both Active Directory and Windows NT domains. The same approach is taken in homogeneous Windows environments that have multiple Active Directory or Windows NT domains, where the destinationindicator attribute is mapped to activedirectorydomainname or user_nt_domain_name.
The Attribute Modification settings reflect Example Bank's requirements to synchronize the attribute changes and account deactivations, bidirectionally, between the Active Directory and Directory Server sources.
In the Identity Synchronization for Windows Console, click the Configuration tab, then click the Attribute Modification tab.
Select Attribute Modifications Flow in Both Directions.
Select the Synchronize Object Activation/Inactivation with Active Directory check box and select Interoperate With Directory Server Tools.
The Object Creation settings reflect Example Bank's requirement to only synchronize user creations from Active Directory to Directory Server.
The Object Creation settings apply to both Active Directory and Windows NT because Example Bank has an environment with both the systems. New users in Active Directory and Windows NT are synchronized with Directory Server. Example Bank is migrating all Windows NT users to Active Directory; so no new users will be created in Windows NT.
In the Console, click the Configuration tab, then click the Object Creation tab.
Select the Object Creations Flow From Windows to Sun Java System Directory Server check box.
To synchronize object deletions, click the Object Deletion tab and select Object Deletions Flow From Windows to Sun Java System Directory Server check box.
You can create or delete a group, and associate or disassociate users with that group in a directory environment. If Group Synchronization is enabled, the changes that you make in one directory environment automatically propagate to the other directory environment. All the users are synchronized across the directory servers with their group membership intact.
When Group Synchronization is enabled, the uniquemember Directory Server attribute and the member attribute Active Directory attribute are internally mapped.
In the Console, click the Configuration tab, then click the Groups tab.
Select the Enable Group Synchronization check box.
From the drop-down menu, choose Domain Global Security or Domain Global Distribution to propagate groups from Sun Directory Server to Active Directory.
In Identity Synchronization for Windows, account lockout and unlockout are synchronized between the Directory Server and Active Directory sources.
In the Console, click the Configuration tab, then click the Account Lockout tab.
Select the Enable Account Lockout Synchronization check box.
When configuring Identity Synchronization for Windows to interoperate with PAM LDAP on Solaris systems, select and then add the shadowAccount object class as an auxiliary object class for synchronization. When a new user is created in Active Directory, and that user is synchronized to Directory Server, the user entry includes the shadowAccount object class, which is required by PAM LDAP.
Use the Creation Attribute Mappings and Values dialog box to configure additional attributes to be synchronized when an entry is created.
Click Creation Attributes under the Object Creation tab.
Provide a mapping or default value for sn, a mandatory attribute for the inetOrgPerson object class.
Active Directory has a corresponding attribute sn. However, Windows NT does not have an equivalent attribute, so the special ** NO VALUE ** value is provided. Because Example Bank's requirements do not include creating users in Windows NT, this value does not appear in any of the user entries. This value is only provided to conform to the Console's validations.

Developers are to start work on a new Aldi store in Carnforth.
Pendle Projects was granted planning permission for the Scotland Road site in July after the supermarket company bought the land from building firm Norman Jackson's Limited, which ceased trading.
Existing workshops will be demolished and a 1,495 square metre store and 58-space car park put in their place.
Mark Taylforth, of Pendle Projects, said: "We identified this site for Aldi some time ago and I am delighted that we are now ready to get started.
"It is a challenging site, which slopes steeply down from Scotland Road, but we have designed a scheme that works well for Aldi."
Mike Clarke, regional property director for Aldi, added: "Since beginning work on this site, we have worked hard with Pendle Projects, local stakeholders and our immediate commercial neighbours to deliver a scheme that will add significant benefits to the town.
"We are looking forward to bringing our unique proposition of exceptional quality products at incredible value following the store opening later in 2014."
MSM Construction, based in Long Preston, North Yorkshire, is the main contractor for the project, which is expected to create up to 25 new jobs.

Yeah I was thinking about that last night while watching the Milan game, actually. I haven't been following Milan very closely this year, but it looks like they havent played this well in a long time. Defense is, as always, tight as a drum, and their offense is explosive with Ibrahimovic leading the attack.
I don't completely trust the GK, Abbiati, but he looked good last night. You're right, the return leg in Barcelona should be very exciting. This is the kind of matchup that should be the final.

Vice President Joe Biden, author of the Violence Against Women Act, said he wrote the law to change a "cultural norm" that blamed women for violence, he said Wednesday in an exclusive interview with HLN.
"Young women would testify before us and say, 'This happened to me. That happened to me,'" Biden recalled to HLN's Christi Paul after a speech at the National Domestic Violence Hotline headquarters in Austin, Texas, commemorating National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. "And I'd ask the question, 'What was the response of your girlfriends?' They said, 'Well, why were you wearing what you're wearing?'"
Biden authored the Violence Against Women Act in 1994, when he was a senator. It established both the Office on Violence Against Women and the National Domestic Violence Hotline, which has received more than 3 million calls since its inception in early 1996.
"The reason I wrote the Violence Against Women Act in the beginning was to change that cultural norm," Biden said. "No means no means no. Whether it's in the bedroom, on the street, whether you're drunk or sober, it's no. No means no."
The vice president told Paul that his father inspired his dedication to preventing domestic abuse.
"My dad used to say, 'The ultimate sin is abuse of power, and the ultimate abuse of power is a man raising his hand to a woman.' We were raised that if you see it, you have an obligation to do something about it," Biden said.
Paul is also an advocate for domestic violence awareness. Partial proceeds from Paul's book about her past abusive relationship, " Love Isn't Supposed to Hurt," go to the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
During the interview, Paul also asked about the recent problems with the Obamacare website.
Earlier Wednesday, Americans trying to sign up for health care on www.healthcare.gov were greeted with the message, "The system is down at the moment."
"Neither (President Barack Obama) or I are technology geeks, and we assumed it was up and ready to run," Biden told Paul. "The good news is -- although it's not, and we apologize for that -- we're confident that by the end of November it will be and there will still be plenty of time for people to register online."
While he could not explain the technical reasons for the website delay, he did call it "inexcusable."
When Paul asked if she would see Biden at the next inaugural parade, the potential 2016 presidential candidate responded with a laugh, and said, "I actually will one way or another, because the outgoing president and vice president show up."

I just finished quilting this quilt and I love it. This is from Pat75 who is on our board and lives here in Phoenix. I quilted some pretty flowers with tendrils and to me they look like they are hanging on the trellis. I used 100% cotton batting made by Legacy. The quilt is 86 x 114 long, for one of her grandchildren.
Thank you for taking a look.
Most of the floral quilt.

Robert Pattinson is hot — and boy, does he know it!Meow! Probably taken out of context, and just one person's POV -- who knows? :-\
The "Twilight" star was hanging out at the Notting Hill Arts Club in London when a female fan asked if he was annoyed by all the girls surrounding him.
"It's to be expected," Pattinson replied loftily.
Says our eyewitness, "He was totally arrogant — but he's right!"

Robert Pattinson is Allegedly a 'Haughty Hottie'

Oh this was funny, how out of context is this?? Yes, it is to be expected as in he has come to accept it as a part of his life and he isn't annoyed by his fans perhaps...thats just one twicrack fans opinion of course :)ReplyDelete
Seriously, I think anyone with an English accent would be perceived as speaking "loftily" by someone at the NY Daily News - lol... Although I'm sure it's getting a bit tiresome for him at this point, I think we've all seen enough footage of him being gracious to his shrieking fans and modest about his own looks to know that it's unlikely he's suddenly become an egomaniac. :)ReplyDelete
Oh he was totally taking a piss there.ReplyDelete
It IS to be expected, right? Look at him! LOLReplyDelete

Once in a while, though, you run into something you should not say under any circumstances.
Here are the phrases you never want to post on Facebook:
1. "I don't know what to do."
Your customers come to your Facebook page for many reasons, but a common one is to seek help with a problem. Facebook pages have become a common way for
the public to reach their favorite brands and businesses for help without sending an email or spending all day on the phone.
The last thing your customers want to hear from you is, "I have no idea what to do for you."
Don't take this to mean you can never be confused about an issue, but don't let the customer know you're utterly lost. Consider rewording it as "We'll look
into it," or "We're on it, thanks for letting us know." Be sure to follow up when the problem is solved.
2. "This group is better than that group."
This no-no can come in many forms, whether it's discussing if Apple fans are better than Microsoft fans, or letting some accidental bias slip out. What
these boil down to is "this group is better than that group."
Showing preference of any kind hardly ever goes well if you're trying to sell broadly. Even if you're strictly a niche company, showing preference can
still bite you in the butt later. What if your niche changes to the group you offended earlier? It all comes back around eventually.
3. "This page is for positivity only."
Of course you want your company's page filled with butterflies and unicorns. Positive and encouraging comments always feel great. However, sometimes
customers need to vent or figure out an issue.
If you make your customers feel like their negative comments aren't welcome, you defeat the purpose of a Facebook page. The idea is for customers to go
online and talk with their favorite businesses and tell them what they think. If you ignore that or delete comments you don't like, customers will stop
being able to relate to your business. Eventually, they'll ignore you altogether.

Discussion in 'Odds & Ends' started by quest01, Sep 16, 2012.
just use the google youtube app.
I downloaded iOS 6 for my iPad 3(using this as a type) and the maps are a little shaky. I was using the 3d flyover on Las Vegas and it takes a while to focus and it kind of has a cartoony look to it. As far as losing the YouTube app, that didn't really bother me but I noticed when I watch YouTube videos on my iPad in safari, it doesn't go to full screen mode completely, it shows the tabs and search bar on top which is kind of annoying. Overall I don't mind iOS 6, it seems to improve performance and speed. Also it adds Siri and this "do not disturb" feature which comes in handy.
For the fandroids and apple geeks
Typing this on my iPhone 5. It's gorgeous in person. A pity the maps are pretty poor. Fortunately, there's safari for google maps.
Agreed. Galaxy S3 is far better than iPhone 5.
Divide and conquer. You're all getting bent over while you argue over trivialities.
Its applebots...
LOL genius thinking.
I dunno. I'm loving the iPhone 5 so far.
Everyone can and should choose what's best for them, but I've never used a phone as smooth and fast as the iPhone 5. That includes the GSIII that I've played around with. It may be have more powerful internals, but it's all about how that power is used in the real world. For me, this is as good as it gets.
The bar was set pretty low for me, since I despised my last couple Android phones. I know that Apple and iOS have shortcomings, but for me personally, I couldn't be happier with my choice. It's a good time to be a smartphone buyer, because there are a lot of great options out there.
I'm happy with my iPhone 5! The maps problem is a non issue because Apple will be updating it and there will be a update soon enough. People complained about the battery life when iOS 5 was released and Apple patched it up pretty quick.
It seems like we look for the same things, so this bodes well for me.
The S3's OS w/ touchwiz IMO is a waste of resources. Its a bad interface IMO.
That Lumia is pretty sweet looking. I may revisit Windows phones in 2 years and see how they grow. I think Windows should go exclusive with Nokia just because then there is no fragmentation. Fragmentation has weakened Droid and stregnthened Apple IMO.
I was 100% bought in to the 920 when I saw Nokia's demo. Then as I did more research I realized that 3% marketshare leads to a huge lack of apps and development. 50% of the apps on my phone aren't available for WP yet. I hope that changes, because I was so attracted that Lumia 920 that if they keep making phones like that, and the OS gets more developer attention, I could very well be bought in.
As for the iPhone, yeah, it's working for me so far. I've been blown away at the speed of the phone and how quickily it executes things. I'm very happy so far.
Thats what I need. The Windows phone has 2 years to develop and may be a major player in 2014. Read a report on that today. Works for me.
Forgot to ask how the voice to text is on the iphone. I use that function a lot on the droid.
I've only played around with it a little bit, but it's very accurate. Punctuation isn't the best (or i haven't figured it out yet), but it understands everything word wise.
The additions to Siri are helpful too. I was able to check scores and weather, it knew what I was talking about. The voice recognition in general has been good so far.
you were in love with your Droid phones at first as well.
Seems like your change in Network has as much to do with your new found delight as the iphone itself.
Sweet. What I do for punctuation is say "period" or "question mark" on the droid and it works. In fact the voice to text on the droid is one of the best parts for me about the phone.
This weekend I received 10 texts all at the same time - 3 hours late..thanks a lot sprint..made me look a little bad since I was setting a few things up over text. I can not wait to leave sprint - even more than just getting a new phone, the sprint service cant be gone fast enough.
Not having to root my next phone, deal with the lagginess and horrible multitasking is going to be so great as well. Wish I could blame sprint for that, but its not the case.
Again speak for yourself...
I multitask all day with no noticeable lag! Only problem with my Rezound was low battery life and side buttons too flush with the casing. Both were solved with a $25 extended battery and cover, options not even available on the Iphone!
Sounds like you 'rooted' your phone wrong; thought you were a tech guy
Yeah...This is an entirely different experience. Even when I got my Androids, they weren't anywhere near this good. When I talk about "speed", I'm not talking about data speeds (which are great), I'm talking about the speed of the phone itself. No phone I've ever owned or used has been this fast and fluid.
I know you find it impossible to believe that anyone could prefer the iPhone 5, but you can count me firmly in that camp.
Hmmm I didn't realize you couldn't have a cover (case) on the iPhone...
I unplugged my phone yesterday at 2:30pm. Used it relatively heavily the remainder of the day, now at 56% at 10am. I'll make it through the rest of the work day and most of the evening before I charge it again for tomorrow. Getting 30 hours of battery with moderate usage pretty much nixes any need for an additional or extended battery.
Again, it's all up to what people personally prefer. For years I thought I hated Apple and the iPhone, and that I loved Droids. After seeing my friends with iPhones still loving them after 1-2 years and beyond, and my own frustrations, I made the leap, and I'm happy I did. There are still amazing things about Android, and it's a great OS with some great phones. For people that like those, or WP, or Apple or whatever, great.
The mobile phone wars are getting out of hand.
I placed DRII on ignore because he is just trolling. You can tell by his past posts he is in here just trying to argue about a phone and stir things up, Its pretty sad, but he adds no value to the conversation. Probably just a young kid who needs attention.
Most people blame the user for things, but I have rooted droids for 3 years and know exactly what I am doing. Achieving S-off on my phone either happens or it doesn't. There is no way to make mistakes since a mistake returns a bricked phone or a bootloader that still says S-on. This is common knowledge that even the most basic user of an android would understand. DRII clearly does not even understand how to root a phone and has most likely never done it. He clearly is not an experienced Droid user in this instance. He is using antiquated technology (in cell phone terms) and is most likely angry or jealous that he does not have the disposable income for a new phone.
I posted in here sharing why I am switching to an iphone. I know my phones and have a lot of experience on the droid os and iOS. Just like Bigserver, I know what I want and have proven that I have made an educated decision. Iliterally have the exact same experience as Bigserver, and I sincerely doubt we are the only 2 people in the world with this thought process.
Also agree, an extended battery sucks. New phones are thin and I dont want to ruin that with an extended battery. It ruins the point. Really great to hear that about yor iphone. My droids battery is very good now, but only on some days when the multitasking doesnt surface and it burns the battery opening and closing apps in the background. Even freezing apps, uninstalling , and minimizing my phone usage has not solved the issue. guy I work with had the extra battery for the evo, and finally gave up and just got an iphone. I asked him again this week, and he said it is a "no brainer". Perfect for work and the battery and performance is far better. He has the 4S.
You can continue to do the same on the iPhone. I think you need at least a 3G signal for it to process as it goes back to the servers.
For me, dictation works really well. Better than I could have possibly imagined. Which is just as well, as being outside the US, Siri was useless for anything else (that's supposed to have changed with iOS 6, but I have yet to test it in anger). However, I do have one friend who just can't get the dictation working for him at all. If you asked me whether he has a strong accent or speaks in a slovenly way I'd have said not really, but there's clearly something about him it doesn't like. I don't know which of us is the norm, but I'm glad I came out on the good side!
Great..voice to text is just a savior in so many ways. I can not wait to compare the 2 and see which I prefer.
I keep reading that LTE is faster than people's wifi..wow. I cant imagine a fast snappy phone loading up that fast when I am out needing to pull a recipe for grocery shopping for example. currently that is not happening since my network sucks and opening my browser causes my phone to lag.
the more I see these windows phones, the more it seems as if windows and iOS are going to be battling in the future with droids just filling out the market. could be wrong, but those windows phones are moving up the ladder fast.
I don't read anything you post unless it is quoted, so you are wasting your time. Just throwing that out there. Maybe go somewhere else to troll?
All of which i can do on my phone for nearly a year now...
LOL, it's hard for me to lose perspective when I've used Android for 3.5 years and an iPhone for 3 days. I know what I'm talking about with Android, and just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm wrong. We've clearly had different experiences, which is fine, but I have zero regrets in leaving Android, even with the things you mentioned.
Apple maps is an issue. No doubt there (and I never said it wasn't), but Google has developed their own iOS app which is waiting on approval, and Nokia apparently has a solution in the works for iOS too. Add to it that Apple will improve their own app, and this isn't the biggest deal ever.
As far as flash goes, I never really found myself using it on my Android phone...Most embedded videos on websites and things like that are compatible with the iPhone, and Flash is certainly trending downwards in the grand scheme of things.
Voice and Data is a downside to Verizon and the iPhone, but they're working on deploying voice over LTE, which would make this a non-issue. Until then, it's a drawback that some other LTE phones don't experience. I typically only talk and browse at home, which is still entirely possible over WiFi.
Again, for some people, the above things might be dealbreakers. For people that want a huge screen, or absolutely have to have NFC for instance, those are deal breakers. For me? Not the case, and I'm happy with the decision I made.
wow..great point. Didnt know about voice/data over wifi. Also I did know about the voice data issue myself, but I made a note of how much I used both and it was pretty rare. I decided I wanted the verizon network more than anything as it is the best signal in my area.
There is no real need to justify the decision to one guy who is clearly upset and a little unstable about the phone talk. I just like to have rational discussions. that is what sucks about phone war people. You can say "hey I did these things to try and solve my problems and they just did not work, I dont think this phone is right for my needs" and the phone warriors will argue that you did it wrong, you dont know what you are doing, you are a sheep..etc. It is utterly bizarre to me.
If you really need flash on your phone for example, you can get Griffin browser. It has a free demo and is a couple bucks. No big deal. If you need a better gps than maps, there are hundreds in the app store. Once again, not a huge deal. In fact I would consider that a far easier solution than spending $25 on a phone case and god knows how much more for an unsightly extended battery just to have your phone last all day. I know the price ratio is in my favor by over $20.
By the time the LTE deployment is done and voice/data is working in a couple months, the apple maps app will probably be a lot better as well and people will be running out of things to argue about.
Yea, current with updated enhancements that do not work i.e. the iOS6 maps!
Plus, All those gingerbread androids have a proper mapping program that works, and with free (fully integrated and native) voice navigation -- something the Iphone 5 does not have!
I was just updated from ginger bread; everyhting worked great with it. ICS did bring some new features but nothing ground breaking. I know applebots tend to always want the newest shiniest thing on the block, hence waiting in line for a week and grossly over paying, but the last android build was very good and provided everything -- including features that the newest Iphone still can't manage or do!
And like I said, i have nothing against Apple (they're a corporation nothing more nothing less), I have a Mac at home. But I do have a problem with applebots or any other group of blinded, worshipping, excxuse making, followers!
Discerning consumers who choose the Iphone are just fine in my book...
so? did you decide which one is better?
I fought for the past 5 years against Apple while holding my beloved blackberries.
What a fool I was.
The iPhone simply works better than any gadget I've ever had. If it sucked I'd say it.
My post about the io6 crashes is no longer relevant as the crashing has totally stopped after a reboot.
iPhone 5 is truly near perfect.
I'm looking forward to getting the iPhone 5 soon.
If you are Apple lover, i think it is definitely worth it. I look forward to the day when our brain can directly interface with the Iphone.
I know the newer Android phones, and the operating systems they have are far better than previous version. It will be interesting to see if they still slow down and fragment over time though.
I don't think anyone needs to really argue. This thread should be mostly for people trying to make the decision. I think for the first time in a while there are two really good options out there. I wouldn't blame anyone for getting either phone. I could probably be happy with either myself:
I'm gonna jot down a few things that I have gathered from my research for myself (many of which have been covered in this thread to sum up and some opinions) that might help a couple people on the fence to make a decision or just confuse them more
-This iphone does not have NFC but the gs3 does
-IOS6 maps are very bad right now. I wouldn't trust them until they get updated heavily. I really hope apple approves the google maps app so people can at least use that until apple gets to up to speed with their maps. They seem to be poaching ex google maps employees and probably some current ones as well.
-All the iphone 5s on verizon come unlocked for gsm. So you can use them on any gsm network worldwide but with a nano sim which will become common in a few months or you can use a sim card cutter.
-verizon does not charge extra monthly to use facetime (it just comes out of your regular data)
-Anyone on verizon with a shared data plan is allowed to use their device as a hotspot for no extra charge
-You cannot use voice and data at the same time on the cdma iphones (verizon) (I think this is because they made a dual cdma/LTE chip to save room instead of using two separate chips)
-The iPhone 5 A6 chip has 3 cores and has a higher benchmark score than the gs3 update:iphone5 2 core cpu 3 core gpu
-The iPhone 5 has slightly faster (almost the same) download speeds with the same coverage than the gs3 but the gs3 has considerably faster upload speeds than the iphone 5.
-The GS3 has expandable memory with an sd card slot for upto 64gb but the iPhone does not.
-GS3 has a removable battery
-GS3 has a universal micro usb charging port while the iphone has a proprietary one
-Although the iphone 5 has a 720p front facing camera upgrade it is still a little less than half of the gs3 front facing camera
-The gs3 does not do wireless charging out of the box but if you buy a special backplate it can
-Luckily both of these phones are great with apps unlike my blackberry which I will miss and the windows phones which I would never buy even though I like Nokia
-another note: I really love my blackberry Bold 9930 (best keyboard ever, NFC, great email) but since I bought it no work has been done to make me stay as a customer but I would consider switching back the next time I buy a new phone if they adopt android apps fully in Blackberry 10 and show some initiative.
The iphone does not have NFC because there is not enough of a business case/market for it to be implemented, but apparently from a technical point of view its all set to go.
Not really an excuse because it is useful and the future (at least for now). Even my BB 9930 has it and it will have a market. Although I really like what they did with the iPhone 5 and almost guarantee it will be in the iPhone 5S.
Iphone sucks samsung ftw
ROTFLS. but that bear is little behind the times. Iphone 5 is out now, he can get that with faster 4G speed.
I remember when I first saw this. It is one of my favorite extranormal videos ever
That is definitely one of the best!
That video is so funny! Harsh but true.
To be honest, I don't know what all the arguing is about in this thread. Both are great phones that will appeal marginally more or marginally less depending on your own individual preferences.
I love the design of the iPhone and its app store but don't like the higher price, lack of expandable storage, and non swappable battery. Oh and the maps suck azz.
Love the S3 and its screen, its widgets, storage etc, but a slightly more geeky arguably more cumbersome interface. Also the voice prompts on Co-pilot on my S2 don't work properly when playing music. Not sure if they've now sorted it out.
Android is a stolen product.
I stand by Steve.
Until BB10.
Must be like when Apple ripped off the UI for the Mac from Xerox.
Interesting commentary from TR regarding iOS6 and the maps debacle:
Wrong Turn
We all know about the problems of iOS Maps: limited local business information, no public transport, occasionally baffling directions and the odd ill-informed geography lessons. They also feature many woefully distorted 3D images which spawned the ingenious Twitter hashtag #ios6apocalypse. Apple was predictably terse "We launched this new map service knowing it is a major initiative and that we are just getting started with it". But it did not answer the bigger question: why start at all?
Arguably Apple did not answer, because it is aware we all know: iOS Maps is not a solution to a problem customers needed fixing, it is a solution to a problem Apple wanted fixing. It's name? Google. Apple's strength is its homogeny, but it comes from being a paranoid control freak and ever since Google announced Android, Apple knew it could no longer rely on a market rival to supply core parts of its operating system long term.
Consequently Apple bought three mapping companies - Placebase, Poly9, and C3 Technologies - in three years, but in a most un-Apple-like twist it still has to rely on correlating data from no less than nine third parties: TomTom, Yelp, OpenStreetMap, Waze, Getchee, Localeze, Urban Mapping, DMTI and MapData Sciences. Yes Apple embarked upon one of the largest and most data complex projects imaginable and risked alienating huge chunks of its customer base because of self serving insecurity.
Pride Comes Before a Fall
The problem is such a monumental undertaking has clearly taken up a huge amount of Apple's iOS development time and resources. iOS Maps is the only major new feature in iOS6 for a reason yet its realisation only makes the platform worse, at least initially. Now the backlash has started Apple has to give up even more time and resources which could and should have been spent elsewhere.
When will this end? It is hard to say. If Apple goes a step further and rejects a Google Maps iOS app the answer will be: for many years. Conversely if Apple accepts an app the risk is the feeling Google is riding to the rescue. It is also worth remembering, like YouTube, Google Maps on iOS was a crippled implementation. YouTube improved dramatically when its native restrictions were cut and Google could surely improve a Google Maps app far faster than Apple can resuscitate iOS Maps. The disparity would grow. In 2007 Nokia bought Navteq and Nokia Maps is now widely acclaimed. Given its role with Google and foundation in BlackBerry Maps maybe Apple should've just bought TomTom… but it didn't.
The millstone with a jet pack
All of which means iOS Maps is going to be a millstone around Apple's neck for years to come. Critics have even forecast it could spell the end for Apple, poetically brought down by its own ego. But to write off the biggest company in the world is foolhardy, regardless of whether it has bitten off more than it can chew. Yes iOS Maps is a long term money pit. Yes UIs are moving on from Apple's rigid grid icons towards dynamic widgets and tiles. Yes iPhone hardware is now largely playing catch-up, but Apple maintains a huge weapon: eight, five, seven, seventeen and three. [They are the number of updates Apple made to iOS before each significant upgrade.]
Apple can improve iOS for all in an instant with its unilateral software updates. Whereas Google Android 4.1 has barely passed one per cent adoption in three months, 15 per cent of all iOS traffic came from iOS6 equipped devices within 24 hours of its release. Apple knows Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 has the potential to do the same, but with just a four per cent market share - for now - there are bigger fish to fry.
As such, regular and innovative iOS updates need to flow throughout the lifetime of iOS6 and by iOS7 major reinvention must be the order of the day. Apple primarily made iOS6 to satisfy itself, in 12 months time the focus needs to be back on customers…
PARC is s stolen idea too silly guy.
Google Hasn't Submitted a Google Maps App to Apple yet. So for those who are waiting for the google map apps might have to wait much longer. Google's way of getting back at apple, anyway win/win for google.
There is a free app called Waze that is really good as a GPS. People are attacking Apple so hard for this maps thing, but Waze was my app on Droid for GPS and will be on iphone as well. It is a great option since it shows you speed traps and traffic.
Basically I used Waze over google maps and will use it over apple maps, as will many millions of people. So I ask..is Apple Maps really this big of an issue or is more like a PR punch at Apple financed by Samsung?
They actually have, it's just pending approval by Apple. I'm not sure why Apple isn't pushing this through ASAP, but it's in their queue.
He cares because he is a simple troll with anger in his heart.
I love that he keeps coming back and showing how childish he is.
The rest of us are making solid posts about phones. I am have not had a huge issue with apple maps on my ipad. I dont use it much, but I checked it out and it was ok. Google Maps is the king, but I use Waze for GPS.
If you search for a store in safari, will it hotlink you to maps so you can locate it?

Performances: Menlowe Ballet performs Friday and Saturday, Nov. 15 and 16, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 17, at 2 p.m. in the Menlo-Atherton Performing Arts Center, 555 Middlefield Road in Atherton. Tickets, from $28 to $45, can be purchased at menloweballet.org or by calling 800-595-4849.
By Renee Batti, Almanac News Editor
Founded a mere two and a half years ago, Menlowe Ballet is chronologically just a kid. But its lineage? That's an entirely different story -- one that links the Menlo Park-based regional dance company to rich and revered traditions of ballet art.
A key figure in that lineage, the iconic founder of the Oakland Ballet who lifted that company to international status, will have a prominent role in Menlowe Ballet's new production, being staged this month at the Menlo-Atherton Performing Arts Center. The ballet company, led by Artistic Director Michael Lowe, will perform two works by Ronn Guidi, who launched the Oakland company in 1965 and served as its artistic director for 33 years.
The program will be performed Friday through Sunday, Nov. 15-17. And it's called "Lineage" in recognition of Mr. Guidi's enduring influence on the local company's co-founder, Mr. Lowe, who was a principal dancer and choreographer with the Oakland Ballet for some 30 years.
"I met Michael when he was 18 -- we have history," Mr. Guidi, 77, said in a recent interview. Turning to Mr. Lowe in the studio the ballet company shares with Menlo Park Academy of Dance, he added, "I threw you on the stage."
"Lineage" will showcase two works by Mr. Guidi: "Trois Gymnopedies" and the pas de deux from his full-length ballet, "Romeo and Juliet." It also will feature Mr. Lowe's "Tribute," a world premiere, and "Serie."
Mr. Guidi rose to international prominence through his work reconstructing and staging ballet masterpieces of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballet Russes, and gained stature, too, with his staging of Americana classics. His commitment to those works led him to lure "some of the dance world's last remaining legends to Oakland to set works directly on his dancers," Lisa Shiveley, Menlowe Ballet executive director, said in a press release. Among those legends were Leonide Massine, Irina Nijinska, Eugene Loring, Agnes de Mille, Frederic Franklin, and Anna Sokolow.
During that time -- "an era of ferment," Mr. Guidi said -- Mr. Lowe was an avid participant in the creative and re-creative whirl. And he danced leading roles in many of the works.
"I attribute much of my choreographic inspiration and sensibility to the experiences I had working with these great artists," Mr. Lowe said in a written statement. "Our season, 'Lineage,' reflects my fascination with the tradition of passing dance down one generation to the next -- artist to artist."
In reconstructing the Ballet Russes pieces, which he said were created between 1909 and 1929, Mr. Guidi said his goal was to be true to the original. His own teacher came out of that tradition, he said in explaining his interest in resurrecting those works and bringing them to the stage. Other prominent dance companies throughout the world have since staged the reconstructed works.
But that project was only a part of Mr. Guidi's career, and local audiences will get the chance to see two of his original works in "Lineage." "Menlowe Ballet seems like the logical home for my ballets," he said in the press release. "It's been a joy for me to watch Michael grow from dancer, to gifted choreographer, and now to artistic director.
"Michael knows my work well, so adding my ballets to the Menlowe Ballet repertoire is exciting. It's as if it's all still part of the family."

Kesha's ongoing legal battle with Dr. Luke has reached a new low, as the music producer refuses to keep the singer's medical records private.
Related: Kesha Defends Former Miss Universe Against Donald Trump Attack
Kesha says Dr. Luke's refusal to keep her medical history private is part of his ongoing legal strategy to give her "extreme embarrassment and harassment, " reports Buzzfeed. As a result, the singer is asking a judge to issue a protective order over her records.
Meanwhile, Dr. Luke's team refuses to keep her gynecological, psychiatric and rehabilitation medical records confidential, citing her previous accusations of their client as the cause.
"Because Kesha made public accusations and in the case that she was allegedly harmed by Dr. Luke, the Court ordered her to produce her medical records," said his lawyer Christine Lepera in a statement. "Now, Kesha wants to hide her records, while continuing to make self-serving, selective and misleading statements to hurt my clients publicly."
"Our position is that that the Court — and not Kesha's lawyers — should decide whether Kesha's medical information remains confidential given her public disclosures," Lepera continues. "We in fact offered to keep the records confidential pending the Court's decision as to them. Kesha's attorneys refused that offer, and instead filed their misleading motion for more press attacks on my clients."
The hearing for a protective order of Kesha's medical history is scheduled for October 26.

Lost snake species found again on Mexican island
A species of snake that had been lost for almost 80 years has been rediscovered on a remote Mexican island.
The Clarion nightsnake was first spotted on Clarion Island by a US researcher, who returned with one sample in 1936.
But subsequent visits to the island failed to find another one.
The label on the single existing dead sample was assumed to be an error, and it was struck from taxonomic registries.
The Clarion nightsnake (Hypsiglena unaocularus) was found again on one of the Revillagigedo Islands, more than 650 kilometres off Mexico's Pacific coast, according to a study published in the PLOS ONE scientific journal.
The 46 centimetre snake found on its black lava rock habitat on the island, is darker than its mainland relatives and has a distinctive pattern of spots on its head and neck.
It was declared a new species by researcher Daniel Mulcahy from the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, in Washington, DC, and a team of Mexican scientists led by ecologist Juan Martínez-Gómez this month.
DNA analysis taken from newly found individuals shows it is a species most closely related to snakes from the Sonora-Sinaloa coast more than 1600 kilometres away.

Hair Gel For Babies
Hair Gel: It's Now For Babies, Too
It makes sense for certain beauty products to be made for babies. Gentle baby shampoos, fragrance-free lotions, and paraben-free soaps all seem like reasons to infantilize grownup products. But Le Baby Hair Gel is pushing the limits. Free of parabens, fragrance, and sulfates, the $9.95 formula was developed for babies, toddlers, and anybody else who has sensitive skin.
Founder Tami Dimmerman came up with the concept while attempting to find a gel to tame her daughter's flyaways. Le Baby promises to "thicken baby-fine hair," among other things. But is a hair gel for babies even necessary? I've never looked into a designer stroller and thought, "Cute kid. If only he had a fauxhawk." Would you use this on a child, or do you prefer to let little ones' hair run wild?

Such was the case this past September for a Russellville police officer.
Acting on a tip from an informant he believed to be reliable, the officer took steps to curb a possible drug-related crime that ultimately led to his being accused of violating the department's code of conduct and his being suspended for two weeks without pay.
Although he appealed the disciplinary suspension suggested by the police chief, the city's Civil Service Commission voted unanimously Tuesday evening to uphold the suspension.
As a result of the incident, the officer, who has nearly eight years of service with the department, has also been suspended for six months from the DWI/Seatbelt Task Force and the Russellville SWAT Team. Additionally, he will not be allowed to instruct a class on drug seizure at the Criminal Justice Institute for the same period of time.
Furthermore, he is required to have a camera installed in his patrol car.
For an officer who was noted at the commission hearing as having no prior complaints on his personal record - only commendations and awards - the disciplinary actions must sting.
In fact, the attorney representing the officer was reported as saying his client was responsible for the leading number of arrests in the department for DWIs and narcotics.
But to the woman who was asked to remove her bra - albeit through the sleeves of her shirt - so the officer could determine whether or not she was hiding illegal drugs (as reported by the informant), the experience must have been humiliating.
Considering no drugs were reportedly found, it's not surprising the woman filed a formal complaint against the officer.
But the one thing that stands out in this awkward situation, is the officer noted during the hearing he didn't realize what he had requested of the woman violated department policy.
"I didn't know I did anything wrong," the officer was quoted as saying.
Seemingly, it might be time for a refresher course to be offered - to the officer as well as the rest of the department's law enforcement personnel.
Doing so might help prevent another resident from facing a similar humiliating situation and keep a good officer on the streets.

A simple setup with phasers and photon or quantum torps will work well in PvE. Having said that though, I give my characters other weapons based on their profession as they advance: Engineers get plasma beams/plasma torps, Science offficers get Tetryon beams/transphasic torps and Tactical get phaser or Antiproton cannons/quantum torps. .

ORLANDO, Fla. - The signature of Orange-Osceola Chief Judge Belvin Perry, who's best known for overseeing the Casey Anthony murder trial, was among those forged in the mistaken prison release of two men convicted of murders in the Orlando area.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office and Orlando police continue to search for Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker, who were released separately from a prison in the Panhandle in late September and early October, respectively. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement didn't learn of the mistakes until Tuesday.
Perry told Local 6 News on Thursday that criminals are constantly trying to find ways to game the system.
"You've got to realize that criminals have a lot of time on their hands -- 24 hours a day with nothing to do but think about ways to scam the system," Perry said. "And as soon as we plug one hole, you have another hole you've got to plug also."
According to officials, Jenkins' incorrect release began in 2011 with someone forging then-prosecutor and current State Attorney Jeff Ashton's name on a "motion to correct illegal sentence." A day later, Judge Renee Roche's name was forged, granting the motion and changing Jenkins' life sentence to 15 years.
Two years later, in August 2013, prosecutor James Altman's name was forged in another motion and Perry's name was improperly used the next day, granting the motion. About five weeks later, Jenkins was released from prison.
Perry, whose signature was electronically forged, said a funding increase would be necessary to create more system oversight. Perry said the error initially came to light when a family member of one of the victims received an alert about the release and contacted the state attorney's office.
Jenkins and Walker lived in Central Florida and their convictions derived from crimes committed in Orange County and the city of Orlando.
Deputies said Jenkins, serving a life sentence in the 1998 murder of a father of six, escaped Sept. 27. Walker, who was convicted on second-degree murder charges in a 1999 slaying and was also issued a life sentence, escaped Oct. 8.
The Florida Department of Corrections said it would not speculate whether they thought Walker and Jenkins were working together or could now be together.
OCSO said it is using all resources to apprehend the two and bring then into custody.
Meanwhile, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has launched an investigation into the circumstances of Jenkins' and Walker's release from prison.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the inmates should contact police, Crimeline, the FDLE or the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Novak is a special player for sure. I watch NBA games since 1990, and i honestly think that this guy is the best shooter from 3 point range i have ever seen, period. Every time he shoots, t think its going down.
As far as our chances in the playoffs, i really think we can beat anyone if we play this kind of defence like during last 3 games.
If we are 7th or 8th seed, i would prefer Bulls to Miami, simply beacause its a better match up for us. We definatly can beat them in 7 game series.
I would be conserned about Miami or even Orlando though.

On-set sources from the hunky Brit's new film, "Remember Me," now filming in the Big Apple, reveal that the actor is hopelessly homesick for London.Bummer. Read the rest at Daily News.
"Robert is dying to get back home," says an insider. "He's so over everything. He's overwhelmed by all the girls — they terrify him! He says girls grab his neck and clothing all of the time, and he's not used to that. Fans don't do that to him in London. Everyone there is a little cooler about the fame thing, which is what he's used to."
The star's blatant unhappiness even has his "Remember Me" co-stars concerned. "He's so skinny and stressed. Everyone on set is worried about him," confesses our source.
Clearly Pattinson, who shot to fame as teenage vampire Edward Cullen in "Twilight," isn't enjoying his heartthrob status — or the female attention. "Robert doesn't understand why everyone is going so crazy over him," continues the insider.
"He's embarrassed by the way girls throw themselves at him. The girls here are stalking him. He stayed in two different hotels over the course of four days just to try to escape the fans who were following him. He's afraid that if he gives a hand, they'll take the whole arm. He's being advised by security not to encourage the crowd, so he doesn't even look up anymore."

maybe he needs a little break from it all. :)ReplyDelete
Wonder if the reports are true...ReplyDelete
Yes, poor guy BUT this IS the career he has chosen and should seek out ways to deal with the fame from older wiser actors.
Just think.....Eclipse is set to begin filming in what...August which is like ...uh...Next Month! Unless he wraps Remember Me soon he won't get the chance to go back to London for a while.....
Poor guy. I really do feel bad for him.ReplyDelete
I'll bet he is homesick. Poor thing. Hope he gets to at least visit soon.ReplyDelete
Yeah, that's right, we're cooler over here. Come home Rob!ReplyDelete
Oh, loving the picture of Paddington Bear with his marmite by the way ;)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 6, 2009 at 5:29 PM
Wish they would leave him alone, especially on set. He is only human (not a vampire, as many crazy fans believe). Hope my fellow Canadians will respect his privacy when he returns to the west coast to start shooting Eclipse.ReplyDelete
were cool here at USA too!The only places i have heard reports is NYC , NY , Italy , Vancour where they flimed New Moon , and Canada.Poor guy!I feel so gulity and a shame of myself for what he is going through the fame situtaion.Maybe it might calmed down after a while.Poor Rob!I <3 him.ReplyDelete

I'm taking this info. with a grain of salt. It is from a gossip site.ReplyDelete
Yeah Julie I agree me too...ReplyDelete
But I do see him a little over it at this point, but this is what the actors strive for, big roles and big pay.... hes got it at least.
Love ya Robward!
Seriously, do you guys believe this? Rob himself says anything that we read 99% of the time is bulls**t unless it comes straight from his lips. Sure he's probablly tired and exauhsted from his tight schedual but remember all those times he's said that he isn't happy unless he's working. He has to love his craft to put up with over zealous fans and miserable scheduals. But without us fans, he wouldn't be offered such terrific scripts. It's the catch 22 of fame. I do however believe he's home sick. Everyone misses their native home if their away for an extended amount of time. But remember how happy he looks on the Twilght set. He may be homesick for some of his freinds as well. That makes me glow insid that he's so comfortable with his Twilight family.ReplyDelete

I am a Vancouverite and I am hoping all the Vancouver fans will leave them alone! The set stalkers that were here(and expected to return) in the spring were not all from Vancouver. Most came in from other parts of Canada and the world. Real Vancouverites are used to celebrity and won't bother most celebrities who visit. Keep in mind we have had Hugh Jackman and his family, Pierce Brosnan, Brooke Sheilds and so many more who work in our city! Let them work -let's show everyone we are not stalker crazies like everywhere else these actors go. Vancouverites are better than that!ReplyDelete

4.) On his biggest and underrated strength as a coach: "One of his biggest strengths is handling the team, handling the locker room and the most underrated strength that Woody has not gotten credit for is his consistency. You're not going to see the lineup change every other day, you're not going to see tinkering with the lineup, the rotations are going to be the same and he's not going to do things different from one night to the next.

Thanks for stopping by
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]Shortly after he returned from China and signed with the Knicks, J.R. Smith told Chris Tomasson of FOX Sports Florida that he anticipated picking up his second-year player option and remaining with the Knicks. I was a little skeptical at the time, since the option will only be worth about $2.5MM, and Smith should easily be able to land a longer and larger deal on the open market.
So it's not a huge surprise to see Alex Kennedy of HoopsWorld reporting that Smith is expected to turn down his option for 2012/13. According to Kennedy, Smith will seek a multiyear deal, with the Timberwolves, Clippers, and Magic among the teams likely to have some interest.
If Smith does opt out of the second year of his contract, the Knicks will have difficulty re-signing him. Even if New York doesn't pursue a big-name free agent, the team may need to use its mid-level exception to retain Jeremy Lin, leaving little to offer Smith, who wouldn't have Bird rights.
When Smith came back from China, most of his NBA suitors could only offer portions of their mid-level or mini mid-level exceptions, meaning he had to sign for a discount to join the Knicks. In 2010/11, Smith earned $6MM+ for the Nuggets. While he may not find a multiyear guarantee that pays him $6MM+ annually, he should at least be able to easily exceed the $2.5MM on his option year.
Gotta give him the MLE, cant lose him he's so important, we can find a serviceable PG, there's a few out there in the off-season
@CA7: our payroll during the next season is $59.1M which will be or slightly over the salary cap in case it won't be increased or slightly below if it will increase for example to $60M/year. Moreover, we're talking about only 6 players under contracts. Let's say we let Lintendo go and resign JR for our MLE, which means we have no other contracts to offer than vet mins. Looking at available PGs even Dragić is beyond our financial reach. We're going to resign Lin, not only because he brings quality PG skills but also because he makes this franchise earn millions of dollars.
Real Talk
My mistake, Lin is totally unrestricted with no qualifying offer on the table.
Real Talk
Exactly, it's basically Lin or JR, personally I'd prefer to offer our MLE to a way above average prospect, especially that he's our first and only point guard option unlike JR who's our second two guard behind Shumpert/Fields. It doesn't make any sense from any standpoint to resign JR over Jeremy. We could also say JR should be patient because we could offer him a much more favorable contract after the 2012-2013 season.
Sign JR with the MLE
Sign and Trade Landry to the Clippers for Randy Foye or Eric Bledsoe
**** Linsanity its unhealthy for a team environment
