Draft Watch: NHSI performances turn heads
Indiana State lefty Manaea, Missouri State righty Petree have scouts' attention
By Jonathan Mayo / MLB.com
A great deal of the scouting industry was in North Carolina last week checking out the action at the second annual National High School Invitational, held at the USA Baseball National Training Complex. MLB.com was there, too, seeing all of the top performers at the event.
Obviously, that wasn't the only amateur baseball to be seen over the past week. Many scouts -- and there were upwards of 100 scouts at the NHSI -- still had Carolina on their minds and checked out other high school and college talent. But this week's Draft Watch will start outside of the Tar Heel State.
Top matchup: Manaea vs. Petree
From this point until the Draft, scouts will undoubtedly be watching each of Indiana State lefty Sean Manaea's starts. The top southpaw in the class, Manaea's plus stuff from the left side will undoubtedly have him coming off the board in the early stages.
The added attention is something Manaea's opponents can also take advantage of. Missouri State's Nick Petree isn't at the same level as Manaea and the other top college arms in the class, but he showed on Friday that he likes to compete when the lights are on. Pitching against Manaea on Friday, the redshirt junior (he had Tommy John surgery in what would've been his freshman year in 2010) tossed a two-hit shutout, walking two and striking out 10.
There's no question Manaea has the better pure stuff, but he was saddled with the loss after allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out five over 7 1/3 innings. Petree's stuff -- fastball, curve, change -- is just fringy, but he really knows how to pitch with good command, and as he showed over the weekend, he loves to compete.
Other college arms
There will be plenty of other college arms taken up and down the Draft, not just in Manaea's territory. Case in point: Alex Gonzalez, the ace for Oral Roberts University. He certainly didn't hurt himself with his outing on Thursday against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The 6-foot-3 right-hander had a six-hit complete game, allowing just one run while walking one and striking out eight. Gonzalez was successful using his cutter, thrown 90-94 mph, and his 85-87 mph slider, which he consistently threw with a tight break. Gonzalez had good command and kept both pitches down in the zone. He showed a changeup in the bullpen, but didn't use it in the game. Projected perhaps as a second-round type, Gonzalez might end up in the bullpen, where as a setup man or closer, he could move quickly to the big leagues.
Lefty Kent Emanuel is another college arm who might go in that neck of the woods. The University of North Carolina (told you we'd get back to Carolina) ace has been a tremendous performer all season. Several scouts went from the final day of the NHSI over to Chapel Hill to watch him pitch against Clemson on Saturday. The southpaw went eight innings, scattering nine hits and allowing just one run while walking one and striking out five. Emanuel throws his fastball in the 87-91 mph range, and while he mixes pitches well, his changeup grades out as average and his curveball is fringy, limiting his ceiling a bit. Emanuel's success in one of the better conferences in the country will certainly help his cause.
High school arms
At a certain point on Thursday afternoon at the NHSI, there was a bit of a mass exodus from the complex, with a scouting caravan of sorts forming to Bandys High School, about two hours away. The subject of such interest was right-hander Hunter Harvey, son of former big league closer Bryan Harvey.
Harvey has been flying up Draft boards as the spring season has gotten under way. Scouts had limited looks at him over the summer as he, at his father's direction, did not play summer ball. What scouts have seen, often against lesser competition and in far from ideal weather, has been impressive. Thursday's outing was no different. Despite cold temperatures and long waits between innings, Harvey generally threw strikes with his fastball and curve. His heater was in the 91-94 mph range and he threw his breaking ball 73-76 mph.
And finally, back out of state and across the country, Oaks Christian right-hander Phil Bickford is turning heads with his size and stuff. The 6-foot-6, 200-pounder has the ideal pitching frame and great arm action. In his last outing, Bickford was up to 96 mph with his fastball. His secondary stuff still needs work, but he has a decent slider. Bickford's dominance in his league is starting to get more attention.

"Unless he knows something that I don't know," says Greve with a chuckle."
...nice how those who attack Perkins won't come out and definitely say he was wrong.
Anyone can see that Perkins did not go into a lot of detail in his book, but he provides an outline that explains how the US did not make a "mistake" in loaning money to countries that couldn't pay it back.
Read Amy Chua, Naomi Klein, Ellen Brown, Alex Cockburn if you want to get the actual details of how these evil deals went down. The critiques against Perkins are just the criminal elite trying to cover their tracks.
If you really believe that the most advanced financial economies accidentally loaned out billions to people who couldn't pay it back, I got some of Saddam's "Nuklear weapons" to sell you. Banks figured out long ago how to loan out more money than could be paid back, sell the debt to unsuspecting investors to cover their losses and then foreclose on people at a profit to themselves.
Brilliant! Even if she is my niece. Very well written.
you all are great, san pablo needs somthing good to happen like you all, because san pablo is a very good little town and needs someone to up grade like you all. good luck , with good music good things happen. i uset to live there about 10 years ago but i still have two sons that still live there in san pablo , and now i live in vacaville. which is nice to ,we need more latin music up here also. lol, well i wish you all well ,bye bye . lola gonzalez.

I don't understand how this man is called an "artist" or a "musician". His projects seem to have no real interesting points, and his 'studies' are of no purpose, much less 'artistic' purpose. If he is trying to be avante garde about his artistry, how about something more interesting then the sounds of tennis balls, or puzzle stacking where he 'stack s the sonic pieces on top of one another by stacking sound files' . How about something else of more depth and importance that is actually worth writing about??
Stocky?! Larsen's in shape well enough for a fella his age!

Writing a plugin
From Gramps
Write it
To get started writing a plugin, please see the following tutorials:
For more general GRAMPS development information, see:
Have you written a plugin for GRAMPS you want to share with the world? Here's how you do it:
- Add the correct license. GRAMPS is GPLv2, you use the GRAMPS plugin system, so make sure you have the correct license at the top of your file. See Howto: Contribute to GRAMPS
- Create a filename.tar.gz or filename.zip file of your plugin code
- Upload the code to this wiki
- Add an entry of your plugin to the list above.
- Create a new wiki page, and refer to that page here, with a short description of what the plugin does
Internationalize it
There is a big possibility that you are not a native English speaker and want your report in your mother tongue. To enable others to use your report, and make it easy to include your report later in GRAMPS without large changes, do the following for text:
Translation function
- Suppose you have a string Name, which you want for your own use in French, so Nom. Then write a translation function with the name _.
- For every string, pass it through your translation function: _("Name")
- Your translation function should then look like this:
mytranslation = { 'Name' : "Nom" } from gettext import gettext import locale lang = locale.getlocale()[0] if lang: lang = lang.split('_')[0] def _(string): if lang == 'fr': return mytranslation.get(string, gettext(string)) else: return gettext(string)
Change here 'fr' by the language code of your language
- If the report becomes part of GRAMPS, it will suffice to delete this code and replace it by
from gettext import gettext as _
- Note that you only need to include strings that are not yet a part of GRAMPS, as those will be translated automatically by the gettext routine
- We support right to left languages like Arabic, so never constructs text parts by concatenation of pieces. Always use full sentences/paragraphs with variable substitution, so that a right to left language can translate it correctly.
- There is a possible template which lists references.
Translators may add references to their main translation.

Will be setting up a thread for these two days this week.
Enjoy the subs!
Enjoy the subs!
She did the best monologue I've ever heard on Hannity a while back.
Don't know if she is doing as good today . Just turned it on.
I turned it on and thought I was listening to a religious program.
Only occasionally can listen to the lightweight anymore although about 15% oh his show is pretty good at times. It's all just a game to him as he's said.
They had Tamara Holder and some other twit on yesterday telling the Hannity faithful that they don't need assault weapons.
He needs to pick his guest hosts better.
to me she's the best at monologues. On this link is the best monologue I've ever heard. If that doesn't pump you up nothing will:
She referenced Infowars.com as a source, that is always a +1 in my book.
She referenced Infowars.com as a source, that is always a +1 in my book.
She did? I'll have to listen to it again and try to catch that? was it in the begining , end, middle?
It was in the last 5 minutes of the show on Thursday. She referenced an article from them.

I didn't get one
Great now I'm friends with FFdouche
I'm just going to rename that section the "ban me" list.
I have two now -- the first one from Fishooked, and new one from FF2.
I tried to friend Vick but got 143 denials....
You are all "special", short bus or not.
Yes, I Did friend request a bunch of you dead beats because it's clear no one has any desire for a Hampur Social - I thought I may as well make my imaginary friends on the internet "real" by friend requesting you homo sapiens.
You must all be relieved it's not just you being friend requested ... roooight ?
I hate face book and I use no other social platform other than Instagram and The Hampur . . .
I likely spend two plus hours a day reading and replying to Hampur/JI threads so yes this is as real as social interaction gets for me ... totally sick right ?

Kakashi explained that Obito is not really intangible, he just sends part of his body in the other dimension. Now my question is, how did Hinata manage to miss that with the Byakugan ? That is simply illogical. Whole body parts going missing as Kiba and Naruto attacked Tobi, she should have seen that. I fear Kishi may have made a mistake here. Anyone have a solution to propose ? Maybe I'm missing something.
P.S : I don't think she told the team about Tobi's sharingan either... Or did she ?

Ok, first of all I have to say I read the posts so far and everyones points were good and I agree with them on some level. Twilight is mostly a love story, and HP is mostly about justice, freedom from oppression and a whole lot of magic, wands and broomsticks.
I loved HP first. I started reading the 1st one around the time that JKR was writing the 5th one and I was hooked ever since . Good thing my sis bought the boxed set (at the time 1-4) cause we devoured them in like one weekend (my sis, my mom and me all started reading them at the same time) I think that I still love the story as much as I ever did.
My sister coincidentally got me started on reading the twilight saga too. She read it first and by the time Breaking Dawn was coming out, she got me to read it too. I was hooked from the first chapter and I didn't sleep for three days reading the Twilight - Eclipse . I love it so much I wished it didnt have to end at all. After I read Breaking Dawn, I was soo addicted that I went online looking for news, ppl to chat with, anything. Instead I was greatly suprised that not everyone loved it as much as I did. I pretty much heard about, read and fell in love with the series without ever running into any news about the saga.
I love them both for what they are but I dont think that they can be compared fairly. They are written for two different groups.
And they are pretty much two different types of stories, the only thing they do have in common is that they all live in a world hidden from others who have no idea wizards, witches and vampires and werewolves(shapeshifters)actually exist. Well thats just my opinion .

100 amps of electricity crackle in a vacuum chamber, creating a
spark that transforms carbon vapor into tiny structures. Depending
on the conditions, these structures can be shaped like little,
60-atom soccer balls, or like rolled-up tubes of atoms, arranged
in a chicken-wire pattern, with rounded ends. These tiny, carbon
nanotubes, discovered by Sumio Iijima at NEC labs in 1991, have
amazing properties. They are 100 times stronger than steel, but
weigh only one-sixth as much. They are incredibly resilient
under physical stress; even when kinked to a 120-degree angle,
they will bounce back to their original form, undamaged. And
they can carry electrical current at levels that would vaporize
ordinary copper wires.

Oh my stars, it's been released online?!! ... Wait, what am I saying, I already have seen it online about a dozen times. As a bootleg. But still. (Yes, I know I am going to hell. Want me to save you a seat? :p)ReplyDelete
I don't know what to do, woman. I pre-ordered the Borders special edition, seduced by those pictures they're including. But that Target edition is mighty tempting... Think the boyf would notice if I buy that one, too??? Oh, to have more money...
so sad!ReplyDelete
why are geeks so awful!
awful geeks!
Honestly, if I had to guess, I'd say the TwiHards are going to go ahead and buy the DVD anyway. I've HEARD the copies available via the 'Net don't include any extended scenes or special features. For those who love Edward Cullen beyond all sense or reason, that ain't gonna cut it, y'know?ReplyDelete

CARSON, Calif. – Oscar Sorto and Jose Villarreal rejoined the LA Galaxy in training on Monday following the completion of the U.S. campaign at the 2013 U-20 World Cup in Turkey.
Both players returned to California earlier this weekend and promptly returned to training following LA's disappointing 3-2 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes last Saturday.
I spoke to both players on their performances at the tournament as well as what it may mean for the future with the LA Galaxy and the U.S. National Team in this piece for LA Galaxy.com.
As far as what the players learned in Turkey, both noted that they became more familiar with the fast-paced international speed of play.
"[The pace of the game] was much faster," admitted Villarreal. "The way that these guys train is at a higher pace than us. It was definitely a learning step for me, so I'll try to include that here."
Villarreal didn't simply touch on his own performance as he impressed with Sorto's showing in his two matches-- despite playing out of position at right midfield for the final game against Ghana.
"He did well," said Villarreal. "He came in as a right mid so it was a lot different for him. Obviously playing against some of the top players in the world at that age was going to be a challenge for him, but I think that he did well. As soon as he changed back to right back, he was a lot more comfortable and showed his ability to play."

BERLIN- Stephen Decatur's boys' varsity basketball team continued its up-and-down ways this week, beating Parkside last Friday before falling to Bennett in a close game on Tuesday.
Against Parkside last week, the Seahawks edged the Rams, 62-58, and got balanced scoring from up and down the lineup. Tyler Hunter led Decatur with a double-double including 18 points and 15 rebounds. Jesse Engle scored 15 points and dished out eight assists, while Cameron Gaynor grabbed 11 rebounds.
The Seahawks couldn't match the effort on Tuesday against Bennett, however, and fell to the Clippers, 68-61. Engle led Decatur with 22 points, while Gaynor added 17. The loss continued a season-long pattern for the Seahawks, who have been unable to string together wins. Decatur's record now stands at 7-6.
The Seahawks faced Mardela on the road last night in a game played too late to be included in this edition, and will face always-tough Wicomico at home on Tuesday. The Seahawks fell to Wicomico, 76-51, back on December 13.

Discussion in 'Odds & Ends' started by mikeler, Apr 17, 2009.
if u want, will see if i can get another sample for you.
I'll probably take another few weeks off from beer. Don't want to risk it.
That sounds damned good. I like a citrus taste in my beers as well.
This is another brewery I like. I had the Palate Wrecker and after three pints I was one happy camper.
I also recently tried Falconer's Flight from Widmer. It was awesome! Bought a 32oz growler from a growler shop that just opened up near me. I also got a Drifter Pale ale growler, and I was impressed how much more pungent the hops were vs beer from a bottle that's been sitting on a shelf for a few weeks or months. The keg was extremely fresh. Maybe there's something to this growler thing after all--as long as the number of taps is limited so that all of the beer can be extremely fresh.
Sorry to hear about the toe. Just my $.02, but if you try diet, exercise, etc and it's still bothering you after a year or so, you should really consider Allopurinol. I've been on it for a couple of months now, and it's been nice getting back to normal. No side effects and no attacks. I've even started running again every now and then. 300mg once a day is the regular dose for a person my size (165lbs). I started on 100mg and upped it to 200mg after a blood test showed my uric acid was still above 6. I'm still going easy on the meat and the alcohol, but that's probably not the worst adjustment a guy can make.
The pain was not bad, it was very mild and was gone after an hour. It does not effect me at all. I'd rather avoid the beer first and if that can solve the problem then limit alcohol. If that still does not work, then I'll go the medicine route.
Been trying some new stuff of late, and have found a few winners.
Sierra Nevada Narwahl - their impy stout. Very good -heavy on the roasted flavor, but quite impressive overall.
Tyranena Hop Wh*re - actually not as hoppy as advertised. It's bitter, but not really aromatic, which was a bit disappointing. Almost reminded me of a more traditional British IPA rather than the American IPA's I've gotten used to.
It seems that my palate is getting a bit burned out on the stouts, so I might sneak back to IPA's for a while to freshen things up. Or maybe take a break from the beer for a bit to drop a few pounds.
Hope all of you on the East Coast (any?) are safe.
We seem to have dodged a bullet here in NJ- no major damage. Wind last night was ridiculously frightening. Don't know when I'll get back to work in lower Manhattan.
Bought some BM Pumpkin Ale. In-laws came over. We all needed a drink.
Yes, the wind, not the rain or the sleet or the snow this morning. Gotta love those Cleveland Surfers though. http://news.yahoo.com/video/clevelandwews-20910953/cleveland-storm-surfers-30990642.html
YES!! Amidst the devastation, frustration, and sadness left by Sandy, DF has brightened my spirits with a growler of 90 min.
Cheers, my craft beer junkies.
had the Ballast Point Dorado last nite, a fantastic DIPA. Been enjoying the Dogfish Head Punkin Ale. Absolutely avoid the Samuel Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale at all costs, that's some nasty stuff.
Totally agree, Dorado is fantastic! I'm a happy man because my local Costco is now regularly carrying Lagunitas IPA, only $22 for a case!! Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, as the more beer I have, the more I tend to drink.
I'm saving this for a special day. Fridays are usually special . I got this at Kroger today.
Should I store it cold or at room temperature?
my local costco, Stone IPA, $28 a case. It's improving slowly...
I just had a Lagunitas IPA before I stumbled upon this thread. Two really good ones are the Green Flash IPA and Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye (I see KevinT has already mentioned the later).
Has anyone else been enjoying New Belgium's seasonals this year? The Sommersault and Red Hoptomber were quite good. I haven't seen much Left Hand where I live now, which saddens me.
Time to get on the anti-gout meds. These are some great prices!
In my experience, Belgian style beers (for the most part) generally drink better at a warmer temperature. The flavors come out much more. That said, personally, I wouldn't drink it at room temp. I would either store it in a cool cellar and drink or throw it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before you drink it.
I think you meant Green Flash IIPA or the West Coast IPA, I like the former much better.
Been enjoying Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale lately.
Went thru another Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot Jobless Recovery Ale. It's not great great but the
cool name makes it worthy.
Stocked up on Sierra Nevada Northern Hemisphere for the weekend...
Like I said, it can be a good thing or a bad thing. I used to be able to go through the beer aisle at Costco without being tempted...not anymore. Maybe it's a regional thing but the Norcal Costcos do not carry Stone.
If you haven't tried it, look for the Stone 16th Anniversary double IPA...fantastic!!
I've tried the Stone 16th in the bottle and on tap. I also like Lucky 13, have one chillin in the fridge.
Yea, socal costco prob due to proximity to Stone (and norcal due to prox to Lagu).
Was looking for something w/ Simcoe hops ever since I had the Russian River Row 2/Hill56, dare I say it, I liked it better than the 7 bottles of Pliny that I had that week. Found this one but haven't drank it yet: Joseph James Hop Box.
speaking of Simcoe, have u tried Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA ?
1st Green Flash brew ever, Hop Head Red Ale. Saw the Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot Jobless Recovery Ale tonite in the big bottle. Picked up Stone Ruination IPA too, forgetaboutit
I will def look for Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA but I asked the sales clerk for anything w/ Simcoe and he went to the computer and got nothing, I guess it doesn't keep those details, just beer and brewery name so my guess is that we don't get that beer around here unfor. I assume it's incredibly fruity citrusy goodness...
I was also bummed that they've sold out of the 70 cases of DFH Punkin Ale, I only got to enjoy 4 4-packs. Will have to call around...
might be time to stock up.
For the MN posters - anyone stocking up on Surly Darkness today? I've managed to track down 3 bottles so far, and I'm planning on finding 2-3 more yet. I really regret only buying 2 bottles of the 2011, so I guess I'm making up for it now...
Edit: Make that 5, with one more stop to go tonight...
I got 4 today - 2 at South Lyndale, and 2 at Zipp's. Still need to get a couple for myself, as most of what I have is already committed to trades.
the best!
I'm headed to South Lyndale for the second wave at 5:30 myself. Also on the list at MGM, but they haven't called yet, so not sure I'll actually hear from them today...
I'm keeping at least 4 of the 5 I have right now, if I get 7, I'll likely hold on to 5 and give 2 away as gifts over Christmas.
The thing I don't like about the "usual" SL method is that you end up having to get there well before the time they start selling and stand in line. I much prefer a Tweet that says "come down now."
Of course, that is precisely because I have the flexibility to go down there now. Perhaps it is a good idea to split it up and do it both ways.
The Firkins tweeted that they had theirs available, and it was literally gone in a half hour. Thankfully, I got my two bottles there before it was sold out. Something like 25 minutes from start to finish, and they had a LOT of cases.
Douggo - United Liquor off of 90th and Penn in Bloomington had a couple left when I stopped in tonight, and they were not on the floor, so you might have luck checking there if you get in Tuesday.
Just need to quote this, as I got a hold of the 2012 vintage over the weekend and sampled one last night. This is a ridiculously good brew. Well worth the pricetag IMO.
Finally had Pliny the Elder on tap this last weekend and it was everything I had been led to believe.
The Book of Mormon musical I saw afterwards was a tad overrated though.
Sadly, the DF 90 minute came and went-
It's time for Victory!
If you're an IPA fan- try the Hop Devil
Oooh - Hop Devil. Haven't had one of those in a while. I should pick up a sixer of that one of these weeks.
got this one for the weekend.
^survived the dinner & beer sampling party...so many brews. not a stout drinker here but this one was rather nice.

To all my old beer mates:
Merry Xmas
Recieved a sampler pack from third street brewing last night. I'm looking forward to assembling and unboxing gifts for the rugrat to some new flavors. Merry Christmas ttw.
brewed a piney, citrusey IPA (not uber hoppy ~65IBU) which was well received/reviewed by fellow brewers and IPA drinkers. maybe enter a further refined version in next year's competition. Merry Christmas dudes and dudettes.
'tis beer drinking season for sure. thanks for the merry wishes and may the same reveal for all you 'drunkards' as well.
Great to see this thread revived.
Received a book of beer recipes for Christmas, all of which are all-grain recipes. I'm now starting to price out the move from extract to all grain. Being a finance person by day, I'm doing a CBA to figure out my anticipated payoff timeline if I were to stop buying commercially brewed beer in favor of homebrew.
You are such a nerd! Can you show us the calculations when you are finished?
shoot me an email and will be happy to share tips going cheap.
got a hops book for Christmas from one of my suppliers. interesting reading thus far and a good reference. it's ridiculous how much $ saved if one has the time and pays attention to details when brewing.
Happy Holidays to the TT microbrew crew!
I was on Santa's naughty list so he brought me these bad boys:
The Sofie is a special-occasion bottle since it shares my daughter's name.
The Encore IPA will be gone by tomorrow
a little off the subject of beer.. anybody try jameson whiskey? if so is there much difference b/w the 12yr and the regular?
I could say I try it every now and again. I usually "try" to consume large amounts in short time frames, which never ends well.
I have a bottle of the 12 year special reserve at home, and it is certainly smoother than the regular stuff, but it does carry a pretty decent price increase over the standard stuff. I actually really like either straight up on the rocks, or maybe with a splash of bitters.
Our nearby Timpanos is closing and being replaced with a Darden owned Eddie V's restaurant. According to them, they have 130-250 taps of imported, craft and specialty ales and lagers. Life is cruel for me:
What a joint
ps Watching the Tide roll over the Irish with a 90 minute DF Imperial IPA and Tweason'-ale. Strawberry and buckwheat honey gluten-free ale. Yich, Yack, Yuck This beer is as bad as ND
Separate names with a comma.

Gyorko wraps up stellar rookie campaign
By Rick Eymer / Special to MLB.com
SAN FRANCISCO -- With the exception of missing a month of the season with a right groin strain, Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko probably couldn't script a better rookie season.
After slugging his first career grand slam in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Giants, he led all Major League rookies with 23 home runs and 48 extra-base hits and became the first rookie to lead the Padres in RBIs since Nate Colbert did it in 1969.
In fact, Gyorko is the first rookie second baseman since at least 1920, when the RBI became an official stat, to lead his team in RBIs. His 23 homers are also the third most in history by a rookie second baseman.
Perhaps most impressively is that Gyorko, who has made four errors all season, had 48 games of second-base experience in the Minors before the season began.
He finished the year with a .992 fielding percentage, the best performance by a rookie second baseman in Major League history.
Gyorko was drafted as a third baseman by the Padres in the second round of the 2010 First-Year Player Draft.
"You look at his complete season and he's done very well," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He's very consistent with his fielding. That was one of our concerns, moving to second. After the first couple of weeks of Spring Training, we knew he would be fine. He was making plays, moving left and right and turning the double play."
Kotsay finishes career with 'happy' strikeout vs. Zito
SAN FRANCISCO -- Mark Kotsay had a special moment with a former teammate on his final day as an active Major League player.
Barry Zito came in to face Kotsay in the eighth inning of the Padres' 7-6 loss to the Giants on Sunday and struck him out. It was Kotsay's final at-bat and Zito's likely final appearance as a Giant.
"If I had to strike out in my final at-bat, I'm glad it was against a former teammate whom I respect and love," Kotsay said. "I'm happy for Barry."
Zito and Kotsay were teammates with the Oakland Athletics between 2004-06.
"We had a lot of fun together," Kotsay said.
When Giants manager Bruce Bochy came out to make the pitching change, Kotsay knew exactly who he would be facing.
"It was a great moment for both of us," Kotsay said. "I texted him and told him that I'm glad it was him out there for my final at-bat."
Zito responded and Kotsay read it out loud for reporters:
"[Heck], man, that was narlier [sic] than the World Series. I love you my brother. I have so much respect for you. I love that it was us together out there. See you soon."
Kotsay appeared in 1,914 games, collecting 1,784 hits.
"Mark had a great career," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He did it the right way. He's crossed a lot of bridges and did it well. He's in a good spot mentally."

Hi there,
I'm your occasionally visiting moderator and I have a request. On the Jehovah's Witness Discussion board... which as many of you know tends to be, shall we say, a LITTLE contentious, there's an onging discussion about blood issues. I have absolutely NO idea what the official, JW position, doctrine, belief, etc on this is. If someone who can present an authoratative explanation on the JW Discussion Board, either on an existing thread, or as a new one, would do so it would be most welcome and appreciated... by me at least .
I'll now leave you to your board... and by the way, I am delighted to NOT have much need to come here in my official capacity. Way to go JW's!!!!!

Hi Ken,
For your own information there is a ton of valuable articles on our views regarding the use of blood.
Go to this site: www.watchtower.org/e/archives/index.htm
and click on "Health Medicine and Blood".
Then pick the articles that interest you. This will avoid posting bits and pieces of this on the debate board.
I am sure you will see the debate board move away from actually discussing our views and why we hold them to assertions we want our chidlren to die, etc. Ain't so, we just want to be obedient to God as our conscience leads us, based on scripture, and give our families the best medical care from a medical prospective as well.

Thanks, anotherpaul.
If I post your link on the JW Discussion board, will I be correct in saying it is official JW doctrine? (And of course I've looked at it and it certainly appears to be the 'word' according to your faith) While I do not get into the discussions, I do sometimes throw in things to help things and it is very important that anything I present as fact is indeed fact.
When I do post something like this, as a senior moderator (and there are only three of us on all of BNET outside of management) it just has to be factual.

Rangerken - Yes, anything on our official website is accurate as to what all of Jehovah's Witnesses believe, including on the Blood transfusion issue.
The site home is:
You can also use the excellent search engine on the site using search phases like "Blood transfusions."
And if what is on our site is not enough, which is not likely, I will be glad to research further in our printed literature.
Thank you for seeking factual information!

Hi Ken,
Yes, as Newtonian has posted, you can list that as the official site.
I am not sure I would use the word "doctrine" as it is such a broad subject that it might actually be made up of several "Doctrines", as it were. I think you could post it as the "official position" of Jehovah's Witnesses.

I realize that as a moderator, you need to have 'official' information if it is to be posted, but here are some additional links that are mostly 'non-official' but offer some good information as well with scriptural support as to why we take the stand that we do.

Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome: Tummy Troubles
- Oct 26, 2008
- Topics:
Visit any show ring, riding arena, or racetrack in North America and the odds are good that many of the equine athletes that you see have equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS). But this condition isn't limited to performance horses: EGUS also affects young foals and many pleasure horses.
EGUS describes a variety of clinical symptoms including erosions and ulcers in the lower portion of the esophagus, the glandular and nonglandular portions of the stomach, and the proximal duodenum (the beginning of the small intestine).
Gastric ulceration affects a large number of horses of all ages: it's been shown to be prevalent in 25 to 50% of foals up to two months old, while another study reported that between 80 and 90% of racehorses in training have gastric ulceration.
The equine stomach
Horses are natural grazers that are designed to continuously eat around the clock. In relation to their size and overall feed consumption, horses have relatively small stomachs that consist of two distinct regions. The proximal portion of the stomach is the non-glandular, squamous cell-lined region while the distal portion of the stomach is the fundic glandular portion. A stepped edge called the margo plicatus divides the non-glandular and glandular regions.
Ulcers form in horses' stomachs when there's an imbalance between the factors that incite erosion and the factors that protect the stomach. The most common inciting factor is hydrochloric acid while bile acids and pepsin may also play a contributing role in disease development. Risk factors for the development of gastric erosion and ulceration include intermittent feeding, increased exercise intensity, and dietary factors such as feeding high-concentrate, low roughage diets to horses. For young horses, it's possible that illness--and the stress associated with being sick--cause ulcer development since the prevalence of gastric ulcers in critically ill foals is higher.
Clinical signs and diagnosis
While a horse's history and a description of clinical signs are important in diagnosing EGUS, veterinarians rely on an endoscopic examination to make a definitive diagnosis. Most practitioners use a grading system that was developed by the Equine Gastric Ulcer Council to classify the gastric lesions: the system ranges from Grade 0 (normal) to Grade 4 (severe ulceration).
Adult horses: clinical signs of EGUS can include low-grade colic, poor body condition and decreased performance. But signs can vary: some adult horses with endoscopic evidence of gastric ulcers may show no signs or very subtle symptoms while other horses may show more typical clinical signs.
In adult horses, veterinarians most often find lesions in the gastric squamous mucosa--especially along the margo plicatus. Lesions in the pyloric region (opening from the stomach into the small intestine) are also important.
Neonatal foals with gastric ulceration may suffer from colic and diarrhea, grind their teeth or salivate continuously, have little or no appetite, and tend to lie on their backs. Since very few foals with endoscopic evidence of EGUS show symptoms, chances are the ulceration is severe if you observe any of these clinical signs.
The gastric squamous mucosa is where veterinarians find most gastric lesions in young foals. Physiologic stress associated with illness has also been linked with gastric ulcers in neonatal foals: those lesions are found in the glandular epithelium.
Older foals: clinical signs like diarrhea, poor appetite, poor growth and poor body conditions are associated with severe squamous epithelial lesions. Foals with duodenal ulceration often present similar clinical signs as the ones associated with gastric ulceration such as colic, teeth grinding, continuous salivation and diarrhea. They may also suffer from delayed emptying of their stomachs and gastroesophageal reflux.
Since excess acid exposure is the main reason behind squamous mucosal erosion and ulceration, most veterinarians turn to anti-ulcer therapies with the aim of suppressing or neutralizing gastric acid.
H2 antagonists can successfully raise the gastric pH and resolve gastric ulcers in foals and adult horses. But the degree and duration of acid suppression by H2 antagonists varies from horse to horse. Practitioners routinely administer anti-ulcer drugs to critically ill neonatal foals as a prophylactic measure, but its effectiveness remains controversial. Treatment responses vary and there's also a concern that the use of prophylactic anti-ulcer therapy may suppress the function of gastric acidity in preventing bacterial translocation in neonatal foals.
Proton pump inhibitors (such as omeprazole) have been effective in healing NSAID-induced gastric ulcers as well as naturally-occurring cases of EGUS. Omeprazole was effective in reducing or eliminating the severity of gastric ulcers in Thoroughbred racehorses undergoing intensive training. However, omeprazole is expensive and veterinarians have questioned the efficacy of compounded preparations.
Sucralfate is effective in treating peptic ulcers in humans, but its efficacy in treating ulcers in the equine gastric squamous mucosa is unknown. Sucralfate may be effective for treating stress-induced ulcers in neonatal foals, but so far, there's no clinical evidence to support that theory.
Antacids can reduce gastric acidity in horses, but their effects are short-lived (last for approximately two hours) and require large doses several times a day.
Prokinetics can be part of a therapy plan when veterinarians suspect delayed gastric emptying without any physical obstruction in a patient. This treatment is also useful in treating foals with duodenal disease and gastroesophageal reflux.

A123's new battery tech goes to extremes
5 comments
WASHINGTON Battery specialist A123 Systems said Tuesday (June 12) it has developed a battery technology advance that enables lithium ion batteries to operate more efficiently in extreme temperatures without costly and heavy heating and cooling systems.
The performance of traditional batteries is degraded at extreme temperatures, meaning they deliver less cranking power at low and reduced cycle life at high temperatures. The MIT spinoffs Nanophosphate EXT (Extreme Temperature) technology is billed as delivering improved performance at extreme temperatures while eliminating the need for active, liquid cooling systems that have meant higher battery costs for applications like micro-hybrid vehicles.
High battery costs have dampened consumer enthusiasm for electric vehicles. A123 Systems (Waltham, Mass.) did not provide specifics on the total cost savings delivered by its nanophosphate battery technology, but did claim it would eliminate the need for a replacement battery over the average eight-year lifespan of a micro-hybrid vehicle.
The company also said reducing or eliminating the need for a thermal management system could reduce total cost of ownership over the life of a battery in applications like transportation and telecommunications.
Yet-Ming Chiang, an MIT engineering professor and founding scientist at A123 Systems (Waltham, Mass.) said in an interview that cooling system size, weight and cost represent a substantial portion of the current cost of lithium-ion, lead acid and other battery types. Chiang said the companys new approach is ideally suited to micro hybrid vehicles that rely on start-stop regenerative braking to generate and store electrical power in hybrid cars. The new approach provides a capability that traditional lithium-ion batteries cant satisfy due to the historical compromises on battery performance at high and low temperatures.
The company claimed cells built with its Nanophosphate EXT technology are expected to be capable of retaining more than 90 percent of initial capacity after 2,000 full charge-discharge cycles at 45 C, according to testing performed at Ohio State Universitys Center for Automotive Research. The center is currently testing cold temperature performance, which A123 said it expects will deliver a 20 percent increase in power at temperatures as low as minus 30 C.
A123 said it has been steadily focusing on continuous improvement of its core lithium iron nanophosphate technology, including improved battery electrolytes, active materials and cells. The ability to operate at extreme temperatures with active cooling or heating is seen as bigger step since it could help reduce battery cost and weight.
For example, the primary advantage of lead acid in starter battery applications has been better cold cranking capabilities. A123 claimed its new technology will boost the cranking power of its 12V lithium ion start battery.
The company said it expects to begin volume production of 20 amp-hour prismatic cells based on its Nanophosphate EXT technology in the first half of 2013. A123, which has received federal funding to advance commercialization of its lithium battery technology, operates a battery manufacturing facility in Livonia, Mich.
While A123 also sees telecommunications applications for its technology like back-up power for telecom equipment in hot climates, the key applications is likely micro hybrids. The company cited a recent forecast by Lux Research that estimates that the hybrid car market could reach 39 million vehicles by 2017, generating a $6.9 billion market for batteries and other energy storage devices.


text: I know this is Off-Topic, but I was hoping someone could answer. I just got Game of Thrones -- Book One. On the cover it says, "Movie Tie-In Edition" and has a pic of Ned Stark on the front. I know it is different from the other older books. My question is the Movie Tie Edition different from the Original Book in terms of the text. I figure it would be the same since the book came out first, but I'm getting hung-up on the "Movie Tie-In Edition." I think it would be the same, as for instance, say Christopher Bennett's book Star Trek DTI was turned into a movie, I doubt it would be marketed as "Read CLB's Book....now watch CLB's Book turned into movie, and then it would be "Read CLB's book based on the movie!" I assume the movie tie-in books would be the same as the original in content, but the cover may be different. Yep, I know Google can be your friend, but I couldn't find anyting if Game of Thrones Movie Tie In book is the same as the original book (except for the cover of course) Thanks for any input. --Nathan

There were times in the fall during Maria Sharapova's much-ballyhooed launch of her own candy brand, Sugarpova, when even she seemed willing to roll her eyes at the seemingly ridiculous venture. She admitted the idea for the gummy candy took hold when her agent, Max Eisenbud, presented it to her.
"I thought it was so funny and so creative," she said in an interview with Hamptons magazine. "I thought why not put together something I could have as my own. To own something 100 percent is something that I really wanted to experience."
While Sharapova has partnered with Nike and Cole Haan to design her on-court and off-court fashions, she had yet to venture into her own business. So she gave Sugarpova the green light and a $500,000 investment, a drop in the bucket for the most marketable female athlete in the world, who, according to Forbes, pulls in an estimated $28 million a year in prize money and endorsements.
What started out as a pet project proved to be a success. Bloomberg reported Thursday that Sharapova is set to see a 120 percent return on her investment, and the brand continues to grow. Launched last August, Sugarpova was only available domestically, but the candy began shipping internationally in November and is set to launch in Australia this week. After an initial run of 250,000 bags, which sold in its first three months, Eisenbud is projecting sales of one million bags in the next year as its international launch continues. Eisenbud credited the success of the venture to Sharapova's mass-market appeal.
"Every week, everywhere she goes, people are talking to her about it," the agent said. "It's also the power of social media, the power of her almost 9 million fans on Facebook."
At $6 a bag, the candy isn't cheap, and I can say from personal experience that it doesn't taste cheap, either. Sugarpova is fancy-people candy, as evidenced by its various deals with high-end spas and resorts, who plan to stock the candy in their rooms and bars. When's the last time you've seen a candy brand launched at Henri Bendel's on 5th Avenue?
As Bloomberg pointed out, the challenge facing the brand now is whether it can sustain the initial interest and not fall into the trap of being a mere curiosity.
"She's got an interesting niche positioning for herself, because she has no competitors right now," Marcia Mogelonsky, director of insight at market researcher Mintel Food & Drink, said in an interview. "This is a part of the confectionery industry that doesn't have a premium segment." Still, Mogelonsky said, the product may struggle as consumers become more conservative with their spending and the original excitement of the brand wears off. Haribo, a closely held company founded in 1920, produces 100 million gummy bears a day.

Royals uniform numbers a Powerball coincidence
The Hills, from Dearborn, Mo. (pop. 496), near Kansas City, did not pick their winning Powerball Lottery numbers by summoning up the uniform numbers of Royals stars of the past. It was a nice theory bounced around the Internet for a while on Friday.
But when the Hills claimed their prize of nearly $294 million later in the day, they said that while they are Royals fans, the numbers were randomly picked by computer. The ol' "Quick Pick" technique.
Of course, the numbers did match up to some of the Royals' most historical figures. The Powerball was 6, which was worn by Willie Wilson. The other five numbers were 5 (George Brett), 23 (Mark Gubicza), 16 (Bo Jackson), 22 (Dennis Leonard) and 29 (Dan Quisenberry).
All but Jackson are members of the Royals Hall of Fame.
For a more recent numerical take, Zack Greinke wore No. 23 in his Cy Young Award-winning season with the Royals.
If someone were to Powerball-pick on the basis of current Royals for those winning numbers, you'd have to go with Lorenzo Cain (6), Danny Duffy (23), Billy Butler (16) and Mike Montgomery (22). But nobody's been assigned 29 since Mike Sweeney left and Brett's 5 is retired.
Better stick with Quick Pick.

41.0212 Stay of deportation.Cite as [A.S.C.A. § 41.0212]
The filing of a petition under 41.0210 shall not stay the deportation of any person pending determination of the Court unless the court otherwise directs.History: 1984, PL 18-52 § 2, amd 2004, PL 28-17.
Case Notes:
Interlocutory stay of a deportation order should be granted only when there is a substantial likelihood that the petitioner will prevail on the merits and the petitioner will be greatly or irreparably injured if the stay is not granted. A.S.C.A. § 41.0211. Rakhshan v. Immigration Board (Mem.), 13 A.S.R.2d 25 (1989).
Because deportation tends severely to disrupt the life of the one deported, whether a stay is granted pending appeal of deportation order usually depends on whether the petitioner appears to have a good chance of prevailing. A.S.C.A. § 41.0211. Rakhshan v. Immigration Board (Mem.), 13 A.S.R.2d 25 (1989).
Where it was not clear from Immigration Board decision that in the absence of allegedly false statements the appellant would have been deported solely because he was no longer employed, and where the court had found no false statements in the record, a stay of deportation would be granted and the matter remanded for a new hearing. A.S.C.A. §§ 41.0210-11. Rakhshan v. Immigration Board (Mem.), 13 A.S.R.2d 25 (1989).

Discussion in 'Odds & Ends' started by zapvor, Apr 24, 2007.
find 2 hours for us! email me; we would love to have you. and Bette as well!
why not? we are just meeting up to hit around. this isnt a fraternity or anything like that. get permission and email me!
count me in
email@example.com (preffered)
or email@example.com
just sent you an email. welcome aboard!
i am in virginia and near DC.
Also for convenience Zapvor has created a group on meshtennis.com for us. Please join us here at
email me please
Count me in too! I normally hit with ShcMad so I would certainly be up for some hitting with TW'ers as well.
I'm still down at college till May 4th though, so if we have a meeting after that. I'm all in.
zapvor, excellent job!!! Seems like you got a lot of people interested. Can't wait to hear how it goes, and see some pictures of fellow TW'ers.
outstanding! please shoot me and email and i will catch you up!
thank you sir. it all started with you.
It's going good Han. Looking forward to getting out and hitting.
so far a lot of you have yet to cast you vote. i take it everyone 'overhit' with their celebration last night for the establishment of mid atlantic chapter and is too hungover to vote
for those who havent emailed me please do so. thanks everyone.
hehe, you're very right. I was so happy to see so many members showing support for the mid-atlantic chapter that i forgot to cast my vote.
I'm pretty much free almost everyday these days since school is over and I have to yet get a summer job, so I'm pretty flexible with timing. But, the thing is that next week, my family and I are moving from house to house, so I'm pretty busy until May 3rd. But, after that, I should be free. By then, my hitting partner PurePrestige will also be back from school.
The public courts do get a little full over the weekends and week nights. Reservation is not essential I would say. But, it would be a nice thing to have. As far as park choices, I'm up for Nottoway, Wakefield, or any Reston area parks. I usually go to Nottoway or Wakefield to hit with friends. Wakefield has a lot more courts than Nottoway which has 4 good hard court ones and 2 rubberized crappy courts.
ILoveCarlos and Starlite should also come out for the meet since they also live in the DC area!
northern va as well
Just sent you an e-mail.
FYI - Sundays are usually best for me. I can also do Wednesdays sometime if my soccer team isn't playing.
James Ruffin
i am so happy too-membership is exceeding my expectations. but we can get more! Ilovecarlos and Starlite needs to sign up. and thank you for casting your vote
Thank you for signing up gentlemen-welcome to the chapter!
Member List
The title is misleading really- this is the Mid-Atlantic Chapter VIP Member list
In descending order of skill level:
1. zapvor (me)
2. ShcMad
3. MrHan
4. JrStriker12
5. Patrick922
6. Topaz720
7. Tennisguy7482
8. ibemadskillz
9. Sup2Dresq
10. Bad Dog
I think I may have missed 1 or 2 people. If your name is not on the list, please email me and remind me of your TW screename so I can match it up with your email.
So where are you guys gonna meet up?
we havent decided yet
i need to know where before i talk to my parents about it
You should probably put me towards the bottom if we're listing members in descending skill level. :-(
Don't be so harsh on yourself man. You have a good game.
right now we are leaning towards wakefield. where would you like to vote for? you can vote too!
yea i put you up there ShcMad because that's as close as you will ever get to that spot again
Thanks, James. That's very kind of you. :smile:
It's been two years since I've really taken an interest in tennis, so I definitely feel like I lack the match experience that comes with time. And, I'm still in the process of adjusting/improving my strokes little by little, so I feel there's still a long way to go. But, I really love tennis, so I don't find it hard to devote time into improving my game.
Besides, I think I was born a self-destructing nutcase (like Gaudio), so don't worry too much about me being too harsh on myself. Thanks for the encouraging words though.
Well, it looks like at least we have a clown in the Mid-Atlantic group. JK!
welcome back to the game! in all seriousness, i am most likely by far the lowest rated in the group...so i am sure you will be fine, rusty or not. as for the self destruction, i cant help you there.
what? i put you in 2nd seed! you should be thanking me
Actually the second seed is the last on the draw
whoa, i suck! haha
great thread by the way, where is wakefield?
Ok boys...this week is kind of bad for me...but next week, as far as Mon and Wed are concerned, may be a possibility. I'm playing on three teams right now, so the matches are starting to pile up.
I'm still wary of this whole thing...worried I'm gonna feel like the 'mom' of the group!
Sorry, you'll have to earn the title "Mom". Bring the cookies and we'll give you a badge
*eyebrow* I don't do cookies!
i think i am going to notch you down to #10 on the list buddy.
i have never been to wakefield, but if you click on MrHan's link it should tell you...
oh, you are still in top 10,so you dont suck
hahhahaha. what do you do then 'mom'??
In order to make it easier to keep track of suggestions,votes, random comments, etc I am going to list the voting options on here so we can all get a better feel. This way I am not sending out emails constantly and answering questions. A lot of you haven't replied to the emails anyways.
List of courts to pick from:
Reston area courts (MrHan & company has the hook up)
Lee district
South Run Rec center
Haines Point?
As you can see this list is short because a lot of you have not made suggestions!
As for day, it looks like everyone is busy this coming week, so let's plan for the week after. Please let us know what day works for you so we can find an overlap. Finally, best wishes to those moving, playing matches, studying for final exams, etc.
I appreciate you seeding me #2 but that's putting me pressure under pressure. :smile:
And, I'm voting for Nottoway, Wakefield, or Reston area courts. But, Nottoway gets packed easily in week nights and weekends, and there's only 6 courts in total whileas Wakefield has about 10.
ah. well you guys are the best of the best. you shall rise to the occasion under pressure....or fail....
Wakefield has nice courts.
I actully will have final exams all through May (stupid HS schedule), so I hope this gets off the ground and I might be able to join y'all in June.
MrHan -- Thank you for the welcome. Interesting that you're playing at Haines Point on Monday nights; last summer my USTA league played there on Saturdays. As the proverb said, I lived in "interesting times."
I live in maryland...
where in md?
i have final exams until may 15th but after that i will be free and flexible.
Well, I'm not a mom...but still prolly a good couple of years older than you guys.
ShcMad, oh Shcmad. #2 eh?
Shoot, what were our set scores on friday night, I don't even remember.
Was it you that beat me 6-3 6-1?
oh...i think most of us on here are fairly old....except for the one kid who needs to get permission from his parents. besides, girls are like wine-they get better with age. or soemthing. or if they bring cookies
you arent even in the top 10 buddy, so stop it
Separate names with a comma.

17 May, 2010
You had me at New Years Day 1983My first vision of U2 was the New Years Day video on Mtv, since that day in 1983 I have been hooked on U2. I was a highschool senior in 1987 and still look back at this concert at the Rosemont Horizon as my greatest moment with U2. The greatest album ever made, the biggest tour of the year, by the greatest musicians ever to grace a stage, I was truly blessed to see this concert. Not to mention I was interviewed by channel 2 news for the 10 o'clock news that evening. I do still have the video tape of my interview and pulled it out every once in a while to get a big laugh from the kids. I have seen U2 twice since here in Utah for the Pop Mart and Elevation tours and will be seeing the boys again June 3rd for the 360 degree tour. Can't wait!

I need to drain the fuel from the tank on my '05 R1200RT.
Since I need to remove the tank from the bike so I can perform a brake flush, I figured I go ahead and fix the cracked fuel pump fitting flange on top of the fuel pump.
I purchased the "10ovr, Pump Flange Repair Clamp" and a "Fuel Line Quick
Disconnect Set" from BeemerBoneyard.
My question is...
Can I use the fuel pump on the bike to pump the fuel into a gas can, instead of trying to siphon? Also, can I re-use the existing fuel line, or should I replace that? If so, is there anything special about it or can I buy the fuel line locally?
Many thanks!

Thanks for helping us sort this video!
Thanks for helping us associate the correct Pornstars to this video!
Help Us: Do these Pornstars appear in this video?
Pornstar Name:
the undisputed queen of porn, Nina puts all these 18yr old bimbo's in the shade, go girl, u rock!
I had the pleasure of having Nina sit on my lap and rub that awesome ass!!She is just as "hot" in person!!
Spanking her pussy is often done by mature women, asking their husbands or their friends to help them and to not hesitate to spank very hard. It is the same for the nipples, they can support, without damage, to be treated roughly, even if the two boobs become as red as a spanked ass... I always use to spank my wife on both sides and she likes it. In order to proof the robustness of her breasts, she bounce them during three minutes immediately afterwards, when they tits are very hot and more sensitive than ever... Of course, her tits and areolas are never protected, and she asks to receive the strikes in standing up position, hands behind her head in order to bend her breasts, proud to offer them to me or our friends. For longer sessions, she prepares them with a cold shower or even ice. On the contrary for usual ones, she often takes a hot shower, just before, to increase the sensations on her skin ! Her breasts receive such a robust treatment every week-end. Thanks to that, they never need any bra.
wow, your writing is almost as hot as Ninas video!
I mean, who DOESN'T love Nina Hartleys magic charrns??

(35 quotes found)
"My grief lies all within, And these external manners of lament Are merely shadows to the unseen grief That swells with silence in the tortured soul"
"So, so, break off this last lamenting kiss, / Which sucks two souls, and vapours both away,/ Turn thou ghost that way, and let me turn this, / And let our selves benight our happiest day."
"Do you not think it a matter worthy of lamentation that when there is such a vast multitude of them [worlds], we have not yet conquered one?"
"Jerusalem is a festival and a lamentation. Its song is a sigh across the ages, a delicate, robust, mournful psalm at the great junction of spiritual cultures."
"Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory! / He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem."
"There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD."

Porcelli takes boys' title, Kong is girls' champion at AJGA Junior Championship
CARRABASSETT VALLEY, ME – Jack Porcelli of Princeton, NJ staged a late rally to come from behind and win the American Junior Golf Association Coca-Cola Junior Championship today, narrowly defeating runner-up Drake Hull of Rutland, VT by one stroke.
In the girls division, Jiayu Kong of Arcadia, CA also shot a final round 78 to win the title handily, beating Radi Sauro of Lake Worth, FL by four strokes.
** Click here to view the full leaderboard. **
The boys' title came down to the wire, with Porcelli trailing Hull by two strokes with just two holes to play. On the par-three eighth (the 17th hole of the day) Hull's tee shot sailed left of the green into a ditch leading to a triple-bogey 6, while Porcelli notched a par to move into the lead.
Both players went on to make bogey on the final hole, giving Porcelli the title.
The notoriously challenging Sugarloaf Golf Club proved a difficult test for the elite group of junior golfers. Fast greens and difficult pin placements forced players to be deadly accurate with approach shots, while dense woods lining fairways required precision off the tee as well. Only two players – Porcelli and Kong – managed to shoot all three rounds under 80.
"I was 4-over on the front nine and that was a little higher than what I wanted coming to into the day," Porcelli said. "I bogeyed three out of my first four holes so I was just was telling myself that there are big numbers, so I just have to grind it out."
Among players from Maine, Will Kannegieser of Minot finished tied for sixth place at 20-over par for the tournament. Reese McFarlane of Cape Elizabeth finished in a tie for 41st place, while Gavin Dugas of Pittsfield finished alone in 54th. Drew Powell of Bangor, James Matel of Round Pond, Daulton Wickenden of Rockport, Cavan Hagarty of Bangor, George Doolan of South Freeport, and Kelsie Dessent of Fairfield all missed the cut for the final round.
The AJGA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. Many of the top golfers on the PGA and LPGA are former AJGA members, including Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson, Davis Love III, and many others.

Lee Dryburgh has been organising a great telecom conference called Ecomm for the last two years. It specifically excludes people pitching their products and only gives sponsors a speaking slot if they have something to say. http://ecomm.ec/
I was lucky enough to speak on the Amsterdam version. I had a 7.5 minute slot to tell my story on why all telecom marketing and product management is wrong and another slot on another day on why voip won't be free anytime soon. I thought the format worked great because of the short pitches of the idea, instead of the usual BS on market shares etc.
I'm the author of the piece. Most comments in my opinion make the mistake of saying: I want this or that to be my identifier. Or I don't want a universal identifier.
The reality is: there are two identifiers that are on most business cards. Phone numbers and e-mail adresses. Both could be used in a much more advanced way. No matter which way you look at it the telephone number won't go away. ENUM would enable you to use it in multiple ways.
Cellphone traffic data has to be stored for 6-24 months in the EU, exactly for this reason. It's useful for law enforcement. The Dutch Parliament yesterday accepted a law that requires this data to be stored for 12 months (who called who, where). Internet data (who used what IP-adress at what moment, who mailed who, but not what websites were visited, gmail, twitter etc.) will only need to be stored for 6 months.
The finest eloquence is that which gets things done.

The F1 2010 development team at Codemasters didn't believe the game (which has sold more than 2.3 million units globally) would have the commercial and critical success it went on to achieve.
"We were already working on the 2011 game almost as soon as we shipped the '10, so when it came to the awards for '10 it was a case of, 'Oh yeah, that game that we made last time around.' It almost justified the direction that we took with '10," F1 2011 chief game designer Stephen Hood told VideoGamer.com.
"We thought it'd do pretty well. It was interesting watching the sales predictions internally. They started at a million and were going up all the time," Hood continued. "A few journalists see some of the features, the predictions go up. At one point, when it was going over 2 million, we were thinking, 'Really? The last Formula 1 game sold six-and-a-bit hundred thousand units, and now we're going to blow them out of the water?' We started to think, 'They're going too high now!' That kind of covers your marketing budget, and we weren't sure. But it did - it went above those expectations as well."
"We were surprised it got so many awards and so much great feedback for an initial game, because all we do, as developers, is see the weak points. It was a huge rush for us to get that game out the door, we were really pushing against time. And that means that sometimes you can't put the love and care that you want into certain features, because it comes together too late in the day. That was the huge advantage of 11. We've got a game that's already running, we're building on top of it."
The success of F1 2010 has given the team increased freedom to do things the way they want them, but at the same time also brought an element of pressure.
"We're trying to do new things in 2011, and now we can turn round to our internal teams - for example, marketing - and say 'Look, we went with that direction last time, but we know we've got our fingers on the pulse. We want to do these things in '11.' So in some ways it's made life a bit easier internally, to make the game that we want," explained Hood. "But it puts a bit of pressure on us, because we don't want to be one-hit wonders."
We are big fans of F1 2010, awarding it 9/10 in our F1 2010 review from last year. This year's game, aptly titled F1 2011, is due for release on September 23.
