The reserve is a sessile oak wood more typical of the Lake District. The ground flora is relatively poor but notable species include chickweed wintergreen and lesser twayblade. Moss hummocks of Leucobryum glaucum are a special feature of the wood and can be seen at the northern edge. Also look out for wood anemone, and woodland birds such as wood warbler, tawny owl and woodcock.
Holystone North Wood is an upland sessile oakwood and is recorded as an ancient semi-natural woodland site. There is evidence of some coppicing and parts of the wood were last worked about 60 years ago. This type of woodland, typical of the Lake District and North Wales, is found here under much drier climatic conditions and examples in the eastern part of Northumberland are particularly scarce. Tree cover is made up predominantly of sessile oak, with birch, rowan and holly. The wood is densely and uniformly stocked and many of the trees are thought to be between 100 and 150 years old, although some specimens could be much older. A substantial number of the trees are twisted and many are multi stemmed which suggests previous coppicing. Many of the trees hang with lichens such as usneas and bryorias, giving an almost primeval sense to the site. The twisted tree trunks and dead branches provide good habitat for birds and invertebrates. Birds typical of broadleaved woodland have been recorded such as blue tit, great tit, coal tit, pied flycatcher and great spotted woodpecker. The ground flora is typical of acidic oak woodland on dry, sandy soils, but has suffered impoverishment as a result of sheep grazing in the past. Bracken, wavy hair grass and soft grass are dominant. The moss Leucobryum glaucum is widespread, the hummocks of which are a special feature of the wood. In addition plants such as wood anenome, wood sorrel and chickweed winteregreen are present. Heather occurs along the northern margin of the site and there is a small flush with bog mosses sphagnum and the uncommon lesser twayblade. Among the larger mammals roe deer are common and rabbits are present in good numbers. Although the area is no longer grazed by sheep both the roe deer and the rabbits will have an impact on the ground flora and more importantly on tree regeneration. A 1999 survey identified a possible 4 species of bats; pipestrelle, Daubentons bat, Natterers and whiskered.

I attempted my first release of an open source project today. The application is called Status Reporter and I have some summary information about the application here.
I wrote it because I wanted to keep track of my time at work. I used my home computer and my time to write the application. It took a bit, and I was a bit uncomfortable at first releasing the code for others to see. I'm my own worst critic. Hopefully, others find it useful and are able to track their time in a slightly more efficient manner.

Well, you have to give Dodge credit for the creative naming of this model. The Dodge Rampage was a compact pickup truck based on Chrysler's L platform and was first released as a 1982 model. It was later joined by the similar and also creatively named Plymouth Scamp. Total production only occurred from 1982 to 1984. The Rampage was an addition to the Dodge Omni family, borrowing that car's chassis and the front fascia from the fit Charger variant. It was offered with a 2.2 L carbureted straight-4 engine with 96 hp (71 kW) and a curb weight of around 2400 lb (1089 kg). The first year sales were a little sluggish due to the 4-speed manual transmission. Nevertheless, performance was improved with the introduction of a 5-speed manual transmission in 1983. The load capacity of the Dodge Rampage came in at 1,145 lbs (520 kg), earning it a true "half ton" rating. This made it favorable to both General Motors' Chevrolet El Camino and the Volkswagen Rabbit Sportruck. The Dodge Rampage was only able to stay in the game on account of its fuel efficiency and modest price. The Rampage's front wheel drive configuration added to its deficiencies, as a front wheel drive layout is not usually used for trucks. However, the front wheel drive and rear leaf spring layout did lend itself to another Dodge product, the ubiquitous minivan. The Plymouth Scamp, the sister model to the Dodge Rampage, was only sold in 1983, making it quite a collector's item today. Dodge had the confidence to resurrect the Rampage name at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show. This newly released concept car is again a front wheel drive pickup, but is as large as the full-size Dodge Ram. It is powered by the 5.7 L Hemi V8 making it a much talked about model. Hopefully, when this comes to market it will fare better than its previous namesake.<< Back to Vehicle Index

File extension RAR stands for Roshal Archiver. In the same way PK in PKZip stands for Phil Katz. Storing information in a way we see it (words, paragraphs, pages) is very space inefficient. That is why computer scientists invented lots of multiple ways to compress the information. It is actually quite simple to understand who basic principle of compression works. For example if you have document which consists mostly of words "dog" and "cat" you can replace "dog" with "*" and "cat" with "+". Thus "dog chases cat" would look like "* chases +".

Golden Globe nominations are out: Are you paying attention, Emmys?
The Golden Globe nominations are out Tuesday morning, and that celebrating that you hear -- that would be the folks at Showtime who scored a number of recordbreaking nominations and landed the most nominations for episodic, original series of any network. Yes, that's including broadcast TV.
Showtime's offbeat comedies "The Big C" and "Nurse Jackie" and its fifth-year drama, "Dexter," were all recognized, as were actresses Laura Linney ("The Big C"), Edie Falco ("Nurse Jackie"), Toni Collette ("United States of Tara") and Julia Stiles ("Dexter") and actor Michael C. Hall ("Dexter").
The nominations, handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., are known for recognizing work and talent that the Emmys often overlook. To that end, a few little messages were delivered:
In the age of "Glee" and "Modern Family," both nominated again for outstanding comedies ("Glee" won last year), there is a CBS comedy of note: "The Big Bang Theory." Actor Jim Parsons, who won an Emmy for his turn as the lovable if weird Sheldon, also was nominated. It is the first Golden Globe nomination for a Chuck Lorre-produced show.
There are all kinds of interesting, complex, flawed men and women on TV these days, and they usually do get recognized. But the Globes finally got hip to Bryan Cranston of "Breaking Bad," after he'd won three consecutive Emmys for his lead role on that AMC drama. (No recognition for his show, though? Really?) He's competing against Steve Buscemi ("Boardwalk Empire"), Jon Hamm ("Mad Men"), Hugh Laurie ("House"), and Hall ("Dexter"), who won last year.
And then the Globes noticed the critically praised Scott Caan of "Hawaii Five-0" for supporting actor. Nice.
Piper Perabo of "Covert Affairs" landed an unexpected spot in the category for actresses in a drama alongside Julianna Margulies ("The Good Wife"), who won last year; Elisabeth Moss ("Mad Men"); Kyra Sedgwick ("The Closer") and Katey Sagal ("Sons of Anarchy"), one of the Emmys most notable snubs last year.
In the comedy category, Linney unseated Courteney Cox ("Cougar Town"), who was nominated last year but was ignored this year. The rest of that category remained intact, with nods to Falco, Tina Fey ("30 Rock"), Lea Michele ("Glee") and Collette, who won last year. Parsons took David Duchovny's ("Californication") spot from last year. The rest of that catgory also remained intact: Thomas Jane ("Hung"), Matthew Morrison ("Glee"), Steve Carell ("The Office") and Alec Baldwin ("30 Rock").
The female supporting category, which is a mix of drama, comedy and miniseries, included nominations for Jane Lynch ("Glee"), Hope Davis ("The Special Relationship"), Kelly Macdonald ("Boardwalk Empire"), Sofia Vergara ("Modern Family") and Stiles. Chlo Sevigny of "Big Love" won last year.
The men recognized for supporting roles were: Chris Colfer ("Glee"), Chris Noth ("The Good Wife"), Eric Stonestreet ("Modern Family") and David Strathairn ("Temple Grandin"). It seems weird that HFPA watches "The Good Wife" and seems to like it but doesn't recognize Alan Cumming, doesn't it? John Lithgow won this category last year for his superb turn on "Dexter."
And that leaves us with one final thought: Only Vergara and Stonestreet, who won an Emmy last year, were recognized for "Modern Family," a true ensemble comedy. All of the actors on that show easily could have taken over the entire comedy category, and most people would be OK with that. Maybe next year there should be a special "Modern Family" category?

Her American father, who was serving in the U S. Air Force during the Korean Conflict, met her mother in a little cafe on the first night he was stationed in Norway. Her mother didn't know English, and her father couldn't speak Norwegian, but LOVE has a language all its own! After dating for two years, they married in Stavanger, Norway and moved to the United States when her dad's tour ended.
She was valedictorian of her high school class and was the first in her family to attend college. She earned her undergraduate degree from Duke University, where she double-majored in English and Economics. While pursuing a career as a bank trust officer, she enrolled in the Executive MBA program at UNC-Chapel Hill. After completing two semesters she married, quit her job, and continued to pursue her MBA which she earned when her first child was almost one. She has been a stay-at-home mom and is blessed to be married to her best friend. Next year they will celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.
She has often referred to herself as a "professional volunteer" because she has spent countless hours volunteering at her daughters' school, leading a Moms in Touch prayer group, serving as a Girl Scout leader, leading ladies' Bible studies, etc.

I saw "20 Mensou" and thought it was a game about The Daughter of Twenty Faces, then I saw "Edogawa Ranpo" and went, "Oh."
What is that game about? Cover looks good.
(Conan) Edogawa was a detective in the past (from what I've read in Detective Conan bonus french pages of the manga)
So, it's a detective game.
so its a detective conan game?...
Damn stylish cover there. Wouldn't want to run into that guy on a dark alley.
Glad the DS is still churning out Adventure games. Truly the adventure game revival system.
"Ranpo Edogawa (??? ?? Edogawa Ranpo), born Tar? Hirai (?? ?? Hirai Tar?, October 21, 1894 - July 28, 1965) was a Japanese author and critic. He wrote many works of detective fiction. Kogoro Akechi was the primary detective of these novels." - Wikipedia

In the past two days, at least a dozen people have asked me how bummed I am about the Tigers World Series loss. In a lot of ways, I'm disappointed that the Tigers couldn't seal the deal although it's hard to be so down when this team did so many things for this year.
For the ten seasons from 1996 through 2005, Tiger fans haven't had too much to cheer about. You have ten losing seasons, eight 90 loss seasons and three 100 loss seasons. Over those ten years, the team lost 966 games, or 97 games a season on average. Everyone looks to 2003 as rock bottom for this franchise but in a lot of ways, 1996 was just as bad. The team didn't lose as many games (109), the team's ERA (6.38) was the second worst of all time. It was actually worse then the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, which is recognized as the worst team ever. The worst team ERA was the 1930 Phillies at 6.71. It's also somewhat ironic that this is the first ten year stretch that we had where Sparky Anderson wasn't at the helm.
Anyway, the Tigers have been bad. And some seasons, they've been very bad. And in other seasons, they've had some of the worst teams ever. Maybe my expectations have been blunted from these bad seasons, but just making it to World Series and losing it pretty good in my book.
Of course, the second guessing has begun. The biggest thing has been Jim Leyland starting Justin Verlander over Kenny Rogers in game five. I actually thought it was the move to make. You can't expect to have Jeff Weaver do a Chris Carpenter imitation so saving Kenny Rogers to throw against Carpenter seemed like a sound move since that was a game we'd also have to win.
The other noise I've been hearing is how the Tigers need a big bat. This is a natural reaction to the team's offensive woes in the World Series but over the course of the season, the team was decent but not great with the bat. The Tigers had an above average slugging percentage (.449) and ISO (.174). If they make a move, I think it should be for a patient hitter who will take a walk instead of someone like Alfonso Soriano, who could just as easily flame out.
The other question is, if we focus on picking up a big bat, what position do we shoot for. First base is the obvious choice but this years crop of the free agents is pretty thin. After Nomar Garciaparra, the next best free agent first baseman very well could be Sean Casey. Replacing Brandon Inge at third base would also be an option but the third base crop is very thin. Aramis Ramirez can become a free agent at his option but that seems unlikely because he's set to make $11 million if he sticks with the Cubs. After that, I can't find anyone better then Inge. I'm fine with Craig Monroe in leftfield and Marcus Thames at DH/fourth OF and all of the other spots have established players
So if anything happens, it will happen through a trade. The Tigers have a surplus of pitching. The rotation I'd like to see next year would be Rogers, Verlander, Bonderman, Robertson and Zumaya with Humberto Sanchez filling as the seventh or eighth inning guy in place of Zumaya. Jamie Walker is a free agent and while I'd like to see the Tigers get him back, it's not imperative because I could see Andrew Miller or Wil Ledezma filling that role for the Tigers.
The odd man out looks to be Mike Maroth. I like Maroth and he's a solid innings eater but if Sanchez is the real deal and Miller is as good as people expect him to be, Maroth could potentially be the ninth best starter on the team. I could see putting him in the rotation at the beginning of the year to try to boost his trade value but that's really about it. Zach Miner could also be a guy we use to as trade bait
The other question that will be hanging out there is whether to sign Sean Casey or not. My initial thought is we shouldn't and try to make it work with Chris Shelton and use the money elsewhere. Maybe to lock up Jeremy Bonderman.
The other bright spot on this team is Cameron Maybin, who lit the Midwest on first this season. Maybin finished .304/.387/.457 with the Midwest League champion West Michigan Whitecaps. He'll see some time in Double A this year and if succeeds at that level at his age (he'll turn 20 on April 4, 2007), you might see Curtis Granderon beginning to get some time at one of the corner outfield spots late in 2008 to make room for this kid. And that's if Brent Clevlan doesn't do it sooner.
So even if this team stands pat, I can see this team contending in the next couple of years. My biggest fear is that the Tigers could just as easily finish in fourth place next year in a tough AL Central as they could finish in first place. And if they do, we can't get too discouraged because I'd be willing to bet this team is back in the playoffs in the next few years.
For those of you who are fans of Marcus Thames, John Sickels recently wrote a prospect retro on him. As always, it's a great read from prospect guru John Sickels. At one point in 2001, he had upped his rating to a B+, which is very good. He also did one on Craig Monroe earlier in the week.
If I ever said anything bad about Sean Casey, i take it all back. Every Single Word. Two run shot for Casey and it's Tiger 2, Cardinals 1
Well, that lead didn't last too long and Brandon Inge just struck out to end the game. Congratulations to the St. Louis Cardinals on there series win. The game recap will be up tomorrow at the Hardball Times and I'll do a little retrospective most likely on Sunday.
I'll have a full report over at the Hardball Times tomorrow. This was a tough game. Needless to say, you hear the words "must win" in a lot of situations where it really doesn't apply. This time it does. The next TIgers loss will be their last of the 2006 season because their season will be done.
Man do I need some sleep.
It's ten o'clock and MLB is meeting with the teams. I can't see this game happening tonight.
Alright, they haven't lost yet, but I want to get to bed so I'm writing this up as the Tigers bat in the ninth. This is a pretty short story though. It began and ended with Chris Carpenter. The Tigers managed only two hits off of him and he needed only 82 pitches to get through eight innings.
A lot of people dislike Tim McCarver as an announcer. Prior to tonight, I didn't mind him too much. I wouldn't say I'd put him in my top ten, but I thought he did a good enough job. That was until he decided to make the point, about a dozen times, that Joel Zumaya shouldn't have thrown to third base when he fielded a comebacker with runners on first and second in the seventh inning. The two runs that scored opened the game up but didn't turn out as neccesary. Regardless, we understood that he should have went to second base the first time. And if we didn't, we certainly got it the tenth time.
Tomorrow it'll be Jeremy Bonderman against Jeff Suppan. This is obviously a big game for the Tigers so hopefully Jeremy throws a solid game for us. If not, we could be in trouble.
One-Two-Three in the ninth. Tigers lose. Sigh. Good night.
The World Series starts back up tonight and the Tigers face Chris Carpenter, the Cardinal's ace and last year's Cy Young winner. Have you noticed that Nate Robertson has faced the opposing team's best pitcher in each of the three series so far? Whether intentional or not, this isn't a bad strategy. While Robertson had a good season, I consider him our fourth best starter. If he goes against the ace, it would normally give us a distinct advantage in each of the other three games.
I'd feel a lot better about this lineup if Sean Casey could play the field so Marcus Thames could then DH. That's a pretty big upgrade over Ramon Santiago in the lineup and it would probably give Ivan Rodriguez some protection as well. Then again, I'm not certain what Casey's condition is.
The Cardinals were a pretty good team in their new ball park this year. They won 49 games, which was one less then the New York Mets to lead the National League. Then again, the Tigers are the best road team with 49 road wins.
I did a very brief writeup on Alan Trammell's new job over at the 1984 Tigers site.
Alright, the Tigers took game two and things are all even. Kenny Rogers threw eight shutout innings, Carlos Guillen hit the ball very well, and Todd Jones almost gave us all a heart attack.
I wrote up a decent review over at the Hardball Times so check it out tomorrow morning.
Alright, a three run third inning capped off by an Albert Pujols homerun has put the Tigers down 4-1. The Tigers didn't answer in the bottom of the third and Scott Rolen, who took Verlander yard earlier in the game is leading off the fourth inning.
Anthony Reyes just put the Tigers down in the fifth inning. Still 4-1. Verlander has looked pretty good since that third inning and now has struck out eight through four innings. It looks like they're going to get this one in before the rain starts. They might not be so lucky tomorrow.
Three more runs in the sixth inning for the Cardinals and this one is now ugly. The Tigers are hacking away and popped up twice in the bottom of the sixth. Nine more outs and I don't like the Tiger's chances.
Ugly, ugly, ugly. Anthony Reyes at one point put down seventeen straight Tigers and two big innings by the Cardinals were the difference. Craig Monroe did give the Tigers a run on a solo shot in the bottom of the ninth but it didn't matter much. It's just hard to believe that this is the first time the Tigers have lost in two and a half weeks.
Tomorrow it'll be the return of Jeff Weaver to Comerica Park as he'll go against Kenny Rogers. This will obviously be a pretty big game for the Tigers.
It seems like the Tigers have just about everything going in their favor heading into the 2006 World Series. They've gotten a week of rest while the Cardinals have been fighting for their lives in a tough NLCS. The Tigers handled the Cardinals pretty easily when they came to Detroit, the rotation is set just like Jim Leyland wants it and Albert Pujols is nursing a hamstring injury. The Tigers are red hot after winning seven straight while the Cardinals have been pretty much winning one game at a time. The Tigers are heavy favorites and it seems like nobody is giving the Cardinals much of a chance in this series. Most feel the Tigers should sweep while I've heard several people "hope" it goes to six just so the Tigers can win at home. It's like everything is in the Tigers' favor.
Which is why I'm worried. Nobody gave the Tigers much of a chance against the Yankees just a couple of weeks ago and nobody gave the Tigers much of a chance against the Cardinals back in 1968. While it's great to be optimistic, I think we shouldn't be getting ahead of ourselves. Anything can, and probably will, happen.
Justin Verlander will get the start in game one. I was a little surprised by this, and expected Kenny Rogers in that first game. Maybe Leyland wanted Rogers in a game six if it goes that far instead of Verlander. Another rookie will be on the mound for the Cardinals in Anthony Reyes, who has some very good stuff. He didn't have quite have the success that Verlander had this year but remember this guys' name because he's going to be a good one.
So, here's how I think this is going to play out. Tigers win game one. Then Rogers finally hits a wall and loses game two. The Cards get a strong and emotional outing by Jeff Weaver and he gets plenty of help from Albert Pujols, who has a monster game against Rogers. The Cardinals will then throw everyone for a loop and take the series lead with a win in game three when Chris Carpenter outduels Nate Robertson, but the Tigers then win three straight to win the series in six. The final game will see Carpenter throw on short rest and get shelled for his efforts. World Series MVP will go to Justin Verlander, who will win games one and a critical game five.
Works for me.
The St. Louis Cardinals. The same team that beat us in the 1934 World Series and the same team we beat in 1968. The same team that has former Tigers Jeff Weaver and Juan Encarnacion. The same team who's manager, Tony LaRussa, gave Tigers' manager Jim Leyland his first big league job. I know Fox is cringing at this, but we have an all midwest World Series.
Once I see how the starters are going to play out, I'll do my predictions, most likely tonight. Game one is tomorrow at 7:30. I'm putting my bet down on Kenny Rogers as the game one starter.
The Tigers could find out who their opponent is as early as tonight although the Mets aren't making it easy for the Cardinals. They're up 1-0 already on a Jose Reyes homerun.
1967 was a tough season for the Tigers. They had the players, they just couldn't pull it out in the end. I touched on the 1967 season in the introduction to my Mickey Stanley column and to a lot of people, it was the greatest pennant race of all time. Five bloggers, which will include myself, will do their best to document the 1967 American League Pennant Race in the first collaborative diary. So over the course of the offseason, I'll be writing season bios on some of the major players on the 1967 Tigers teams and the other bloggers will be doing the same for their teams. Then when the season starts, you can follow the action game by game. I think it will be a lot of fun and nice look back at a pretty famous season. And then it will all wrap up at Gas House Gang, where Jeff Matthews will do a 1967 Cardinals diary. So all bases will be covered.
I'll let you know when I work up the bios but if you want to keep tabs on the other teams, stop by the 1967 American League Pennant Race website every week and you should find something new.
The A's fired Ken Macha today after the Tigers swept them in the ALCS. Macha had a pretty solid record in his four years with the A's (368-280) and he did take the A's further in the playoffs then any A's team under Billy Beane although it looka like Macha and Beane never connected. Lary Dierker would be an interesting choice for the A's although he hasn't been on anyone's radar in a while.
Is it possible to hit a quiet .529? I don't know if I mentioned Placido Polanco much in many of write ups for the ALCS, but he definitely hit the ball well. He was nine for seventeen with two runs and two RBIs and for his troubles, he won the ALCS Most Valuable Player award. Polanco has only gotten a hit in each of the eight Tigers playoffs games and in six of those he had at least two. He's only struck out twice and he's posting an impressive .514 OBP in the playoffs this year.
The Tigers have made only two errors this entire post season. Jason Grilli made in an error in game one of the ALDS and then Carlos Guillen made one in game one of the ALCS. That's some solid defense and just one of the reasons this pitching staff has done so well.
The Detroit Tigers Weblog did a nice job of rounding up all of the Detroit blogs' thoughts on the ALCS win. I thought about doing this myself, but he saved me the trouble. It's some great reading so be sure to check it out.
Now the Tigers have a week off, so I'm going to be working on my next big thing (at least to me). I'm pretty excited about this project and it appeared almost too big at times and I went back and forth as to whether I'd even do it. Fortunately, I have some help so I'll probably announce it some time this week. Think greatest pennant race of all time.
For your NLCS highlights, I recommend two Baseball Historians sites. Both Gas House Gang and the Tom Seaver Fan Club are covering their respective teams.
If you're a college hockey fan, a friend of mine has been blogging the Northern Michigan Wildcats hockey exploits. He does a nice job of covering a niche that isn't often covered and it's some pretty good reading.
It's hard to believe that at this time two weeks from now, the season will be over barring some sort of weather delay. This is my fourth season blogging the Tigers and by far the best but even in the bad years, baseball's finale always leaves me a little down. So I'll definitely be enjoying these last couple of weeks of the season.
On several occasions, I've stated the Magglio Ordonez will never be worth the money we paid him. Like a lot of things this season, I'm rethinking things. Ordonez did his best Kirk Gibson imitation and hit a solo homerun in the sixth inning to tie the game up at 3-3. Then he hit a huge three run walk off bomb in the ninth inning to win it.
Jeremy Bonderman got into trouble early and gave up two runs in the first and then he gave up a solo shot to Jay Payton in the fourth. It looked like it might be an early night for Bonderman but he got through those rough spots and pitched very well in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings (getting two outs) before Jamie Walker came in to relieve him.
The other hero of the game was Wil Ledezma. Jason Grilli got Frank Thomas to ground into a double play in the top of the eighth, but then he proceeded to walk the next three batters (on I think 12 straight balls, I have no way to go back and check. I need to invest in Tivo). Ledezma then came in to face Mark Scutaro and he got him to pop up and end the inning. He then put the A's down in the ninth and only gave up a single. He was rewared by being credited with the win.
I was asked who I'd like to see the Tigers play in the World Series and I really don't care. The New York Mets are the best team in the National League so it'd be nice to beat the best (and both New York teams no less). The Tigers and Cardinals do have some history. They played each other in the 1934 (loss) and 1968 (win) World Series. Regardless, the NLCS has a long way to go and the Tigers don't play until next Saturday. Hopefully Joel Zumaya will be ready and everyone will get some well deserved rest so they can be ready to win it all.
What a shot. More to come.
What a start by Kenny Rogers. He did it in game three of the ALDS and he did it here in game three of the ALCS and now the Tigers are one win away from their first World Series appearance since 1984.
I'll have a full writeup over at the Hardball Times some time tomorrow.
Alright, the Fox announcers made a big deal about this, but the Tigers became the ninth team in league championship history to win their first two games on the road. The other eight all went on to win their series, so things are definitely looking good for Detroit.
What a game by Alexis Gomez. I immediately questioned why Leyland would throw him in there, and then of course he started driving in runs. He hit a two run seeing eye single in the fourth and then a he hit a huge two run homerun in the sixth inning.
The other questionable hitter in the lineup was Neifi Perez. He was the only Tiger who didn't reach base last night. It was a big fat nothing.
Justin Verlander was off his game yesterday but he still picked up the win. Wil Ledezma looked very good until he gave up a one run bomb to Milton Bradley and Fernando Rodney struck out the side in the eighth. I'm not sure why Leyland went to Rodney and not to Joel Zumaya. Maybe it had to do with the three run lead and he didn't want to waste Zumaya and maybe it was that he wanted to get another player in there who hadn't had much time in either of the series.
Todd Jones made things interesting in the ninth. He struck out the first two batters then loaded up the bases on three straight singles. He got Frank Thomas to fly out to Curtis Granderson though and that wrapped this one up with an 8-5 final.
The two teams have the day off today and tomorrow night it'll be Rich Harden vs. Kenny Rogers in what's expected to be some pretty cold conditions. It'd be nice wrap this one up early and watch the Cardinals and Mets battle it out to see who comes to Comerica Park for game one of the World Series. I have a feeling the A's won't be accomodating though.
God help us. And true to form, he struck out in his first at bat.
Tigers and A's are tied 1-1.
Alright, the Tigers pulled this one out. I wrote it up and it'll be at the Hardball Times tomorrow so check it out. I'm very tired, but I'm very happy.

To the delight of many Michigan Football players who played for or watched Brady Hoke while he helped lead the Blue to a National Championship in 1997 as the Wolverine Defensive Line Coach, and to the chagrin of some Michigan fans who had their caps set for Jim Harbaugh, or Les Miles or anybody but Hoke, Brady Hoke has been named University of Michigan Football Coach.
It seems to me that all of us will find that Brady fits the ?Michigan Mold? and he will represent the University of Michigan and its football program, its traditions and values, with honesty. He will restore the program to its former toughness.
He has family values in spades, wants tough guys on his defensive line, and on his team as a whole, and will toe the line to stay inside the NCAA rules.
He will bring a diverse offense and use personnel in a system that utilizes a player?s talents to best advantage.
He has the kind of personality that invites people to like him, but make no mistake he can be tough when tough is called for.
He is not Lloyd Carr and will not play Lloyd?s brand of football. He is not a Lloyd Carr crony. He is his own man.
He does not tolerate losing and will do all that is within the rules to win. He will work hard and his team will work hard.
All that being said he has a tough row to hoe. He is behind in recruiting for this year. Way behind.
More importantly he has to assemble a staff. That might be the most important thing that he has to do, to provide a staff that is all on the same page and which can produce in the Big Ten.
I would be remiss if I did not thank Rich Rodriguez for his effort in Ann Arbor. Even if the results in the win column were not what we, or he, wanted for the past three years, he worked hard, and did what he could to remain in Ann Arbor. And lets quit dumping on Lloyd Carr, and appreciate the only National Title Michigan has managed in fifty years. And let's forget Les Miles, and Jim Harbaugh as coaches, but, of course, not as people and Michigan men.
It is past time the Michigan Wolverines snarled with one voice. I am sick of forums with conspiracy theories, Brandon bashing, complaining about that ho hum Hoke, kicking Carr, and insulting Rodriguez. The Free Press remains fair game.
AD Brandon thinks that Brady Hoke can do it. Let?s give him a warm welcome and all the help we can in what will be no minor task.
How soon he wins is an issue, because we have three years of frustration behind us.
Fans want winning sooner than later. Their irritation is also understood.
Things can only be accomplished through wins.
Welcome aboard Head Football Coach Brady Hoke!
Good Luck, and Go Blue!

Baseball Battles, Street-Style: iTunes' Wannabat Hits Hard
Posted by: iRob in iPad apps, iPhone apps, iPhone apps - 1$, iPhone apps - Free, Reviews
Vitusoft's new App Store launch is a street-wise pitching-and-hitting centric freestyle baseball game that aims to woo fans with edgy tastes and an inclination for sports. While your image of the typical baseball player might include a beer belly barely restrained by a vertically striped uniform, Wannabat is having none of it. This attitude-driven, stylish app applies a grittier aesthetic and innovative game mechanics to that will certainly satisfy sports fanatics and may lure other gamers into an unfamiliar genre.
Wannabat offers an interpretation of America's national pastime that's one-on-one and light on technicalities as well as absolutely addictive for those with a competitive streak. Games are single, three-strikes innings, with one pitcher facing off against one batter. If you ever played backyard baseball with just one or two kids from the neighborhood, you'll pick up the rhythm right away. The number of bases attained by a hit isn't determined by runners (as there are none) but by the direction and distance the ball attains. Whether batting or pitching, it's all on the player's performance.
The player switches off batting and pitching each time the strikes add up, whether playing against an NPC or another real-life player in real-time. Pitching and batting are accomplished using similar, but not identical mechanics. They're deceptively simple in concept, but finesse is key to succeed. Of course, the same is true of baseball in real life—"Swing the stick and hit the ball" is easily said and much less easily accomplished. For batting, the player touches the indicated area of the screen to activate the bat placement, an overlay which indicates the batter's prediction of the pitch. Once there, the player keeps his or her finger in place until the moment before the ball enters the target sights, then releases to activate the actual swing. Pitchers don't wait on your whim, either, so getting accustomed to the pitching style of each pitcher is necessary. Power swings, when available, afford some extra oomph by tapping prior to placement. As pitcher, a similar overlay is available for the player to place in their sights, and moving brackets converge on the ball—to time the pitch perfectly, the pitcher should remove their finger from the screen just as the brackets reach their destinations. The game moves quickly, on more or less its own schedule, which lends an extra boost of adrenaline.
Wannabat's two most beguiling traits are its customization system and character improvement model. Naturally, characters level as the player defeats NPCs and gains experience, but the system is more substantial than that. Skill points are also acquired, and can be spent maxing current skills and acquiring new ones (skills are new pitches and special deadly twists that can be added to them). Additionally, players can level their gear by wearing it as they play. Speaking of gear, that brings us to the customization. Forget your notions of three quarter sleeved polyester striped nonsense—Wannabat is pure street. In addition to customizing the character's physical appearance (hairstyles, skin tone, and so on), there're plenty of clothing and equipment options in the shop. Some are purchased with coins, others with battle points (earned by defeating other players in real-time). And, as a player defeats NPCs, certain elements of their look and get up will become available, too.
Wannabat is animated in 3D, and it looks good—there's plenty of time to appreciate your character and others', as well as the NPC character design, in motion. Quick innings dispel any visual boredom, as does the richly detailed background. Wannabat lite and premium are both available in the App Store now ($1.99 and free, respectively). Check it out!

I'M BACK! Bristol is my.. uh.. maybe not oyster. Shall we say fishcake? No.. too controversial. Lets go with fish finger (the budget kind that I shall be munching on all too often from now on).
I arrived at my lovely 2nd year home at around 7.30pm on Saturday night, and have since passed through quite a number of thoughts, feelings and chocolate digestives. The first order of business upon arrival was a much awaited reunion with housemates, before settling in with an episode of Friends and a microwaved meal (it took all the energy I could muster). I know, the glamour..
Day 1 was spent unpacking the hoards of things I have somehow accumulated over the past year, and trying to get my new room into some semblance of order. I'm actually really happy with how it's turned out.. especially this little gem that I picked up from The Design Studio on Ecclesall Road in Sheffield.
However, the first morning in the house was also witness to an incident. Ten seconds into my first shower, and the curtain and rail fell on top of me, leaving me forcing their weight up with one hand and using the other to frantically attempt to switch off the water gushing onto me. There's always one, isn't there?
We treated ourselves to a brunch at Boston Tea Party yesterday morning, which is conveniently (maybe dangerously) close to our new house, and its funny how quickly things seem to have gone back to normal. I feel like every time I leave one city for the other I have to readjust slightly, but this is always going to be easier when accompanied with fruit smoothies and friends, right?
It's weird being back- a mixture of heartbreak at having to leave my beloved Sheffield girls (and parents, I'm not ashamed to say) and yet excitement for the year to come.
I don't think it's ever going to be easy leaving Sheffield. I may have a year of uni and living away from home under my belt, but I'm still sat here listening to Fifteen by Taylor Swift wondering when I'm going to start feeling like a grown up. However, the pain is numbed somewhat by the likelihood of many more berry smoothies and the promise of visits soon from friends and family. Any suggestions for where to take them? Please leave me ideas in the comments!

Another tidbit from our friends over at VIBE…
Cash Money alumni Mannie Fresh took a few moments to ponder the lack of true production in Hip-Hop today. He also ran down his impressive and lengthy catalogue, amassed since the late 1980s, including rap heavyweights like Juvenile, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Young Jeezy, T.I., and many more. Read VIBE's full interview and then scroll down to the bottom to listen to some of the classic albums touched by Mannie Fresh.
For more, check this old video interview of Mannie discussing the 30-60 minutes it typically takes him to make a beat:

A third trimester induction abortion is performed at 25 weeks LMP (25 weeks since the first day of the woman's last period) to term. At 25 weeks, a baby is almost fully-developed and is considered viable, meaning he or she could survive outside the womb. For this reason, the abortionist will usually first kill the baby in utero by injecting a substance that causes cardiac arrest, and induces the mother's labor to deliver her baby stillborn.
Day 1: To help ensure the baby will be delivered dead and not alive, the abortionist uses a large needle to inject digoxin or potassium chloride through the woman's abdomen or vagina, targeting the baby's heart, torso, or head. When the digoxin takes effect, the lethal dose causes a fatal cardiac arrest, and the baby's life will end. (Even if the needle misses the baby, digoxin can still kill the baby when released into the amniotic sack, but will usually take longer to kill the child.)
During the same visit, th e abortionist inserts multiple laminaria sticks, or sterilized seaweed, to open up the woman's cervix.
Day 2: The abortionist replaces the laminaria and may perform a second ultrasound to ensure that the baby is dead. If the child is still alive, the abortionist administers a second lethal dose of digoxin or potassium chloride. During this visit, the abortionist may administer labor-inducing drugs.
The woman goes back to where she is staying while her cervix continues to dilate. T he woman will usually wait a period of two to four days for her cervix to dilate enough for her to deliver the dead baby.
Day 3 or 4: The woman returns to the clinic to deliver her dead baby. If she goes into labor before she can make it to the abortion clinic in time, she will deliver her baby at home or in a hotel room. During this time, a woman may be advised to sit on a bathroom toilet until the abortionist arrives. If she can make it to the clinic, she will do so during her most heavy and severe contractions and deliver the dead baby.
If the child does not come out whole, the procedure

, or a dilation and evacuation. The abortionist uses clamps and forceps to dismember and remove the baby piece by piece. 1
If a woman has been dilated with laminaria, but not yet undergone the surgical abortion, she can still

Usually, movies derived from current or recent events take
one of two courses: to reveal, or speculate about, the background story we
don't know, or to provide insight into the actions of familiar real-life
figures. Writer Peter Morgan is particularly adept at this, as he has shown in
such screenplays as The Queen and Frost/Nixon. Sorry to say, The Fifth Estate falls short in both areas.
Back in 2010, I read an absorbing, in-depth profile of
Julian Assange in We Steal Secrets: The
Story of WikiLeaks, which covered much of the same territory while bringing
events up to date. I hoped that an ambitious, intelligent Hollywood feature would
further illuminate the story in some way, but it doesn't. Instead, Josh
Singer's screenplay attempts to humanize the headline-making saga by focusing
on the relationship between the elusive, Australian-born Assange (played by

The bullet points of WikiLeaks' rise and fall are dutifully
covered, with particular attention paid to the dynamics of its links to the
conventional press. But the movie bites off more than it can chew, trying to explore
both the personal story of Assange and Domscheit-Berg and the ever-growing
impact of their revelations—along with the pressing questions of ethical
boundary lines.
The movie even (unwisely) tries to dramatize the other side
of the story by eavesdropping on Washington insiders, played by Laura Linney
and Stanley Tucci.
On the one hand it's all too much, and at the same time, not
enough. To reduce the smear campaign against Assange, and the subsequent sex
allegations, to a couple of throwaway lines of dialogue, is preposterous.
If you know nothing at all about Julian Assange and his
operation, I suppose The Fifth Estate will serve as a
barely-adequate introduction, but I would urge anyone with a modicum of
interest to read up on the subject or check out Gibney's documentary instead.
P.S. Just in case we haven't been paying attention, the film
offers a climactic scene in which David Thewlis, as a Guardian editor, recites a term-paper-like summation of the story,
pointing out the pros and cons of WikiLeaks in the world of journalism. It is
the clunkiest piece of exposition I've encountered in any movie of recent

SWOT Analysis
SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.
Enhanced SWOT Analysis
Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:
- How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
- How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
- How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
- How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?
Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.
PESTEL Analysis
PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.
Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.
Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:
- Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations' impact on the business?
- Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence's degree?
- Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business's products and operations?
- Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
- Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
- Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?
IFE, EFE, IE Matrices
The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business's functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.
The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.
The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.
Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.
Porter Five Forces Analysis
The Porter's five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:
- What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
- Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
- What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
- How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
- How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?
VRIO Analysis
VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company's resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:
- Tangible resources
- Financial
- Physical
- Technological
- Organizational
- Intangible resources
- Human
- Innovation and Creativity
- Reputation
- Organizational capabilities
The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company's competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:
- Valuable?
- Rare?
- Costly to imitate?
- Organized properly?

You Need An Old-School Whoopin': 9 Things Some Young People Do In Public That We Can't Stand
Times sure have changed haven't they? Things young people do today in front of and to their elders, some of us would have been smacked down for doing back in the day. And maybe that's why so many young people are being videotaped getting their a**es handed to them for being disrespectful to bus drivers, strangers, their parents, and their friends. Times have changed indeed, and not necessarily in a good way. Here are nine things we've noticed teenagers and young people recklessly doing that we can't stand. Please, come get your kids. Or better yet, at least get them in check before you send them out into the world for us to have to deal with.
*Note: The photos of black kids only aren't meant to say only black youth act a fool, because young people of all background are a mess these days. However, we're a black website, so we try to use as many photos of black folks as we can. Thanks!
Being Loud For No Reason
There's a time and place for everything. I think we've all had that moment where we got with our friends and were just more crunk than we needed to be, but with some young people, it's an everyday thing. Get on the train or bus around the time they get out of school and young folks are yelling, not talking, and acting a plum fool in front of complete strangers. Just the other day I watched a young girl, probably 16 or 17, pretending she was on a stripper pole during evening rush hour while her friends laughed it up at such a volume, you would have thought you were sitting in a comedy club. Too bad that mess wasn't funny…
Throwing Threats And Being Too Ready To Fight
It's understandable for one to defend themselves when they feel threatened, but these days folks go out looking for a fight. People jump up to throw down and get beat down over the smallest things. Maybe that's why less and less adults put these rapscallions in their place. Sometime late last year I watched a young man and a grown a** man who was a little intoxicated go at it on the train at 3 a.m. (why these young people were out roaming the streets so late? I don't know) after the man asked the young man and his friends to bring their voices down. This young man jumped up in the man's face so that he could push him and have reason for all hell to break loose. My late ride home shouldn't have been a scene out of Enter The Dragon, son. Get your kids.
Using Really Foul Language In Front Of Their Elders And Little Kids
While we've all slipped up and thrown a "s**t!" out there when we weren't thinking, there's something about cursing like a sailor and calling someone a n***a in front of my elders and little kids who absorb ratchetness so easily that rubs me the wrong way. When you're in the house, go wild, but when you're out in public, can you not call people "b***hes" and "mutha*****s" while people are out with their children? Too many young people get with their friends and they forget any and all home training, and I just don't get it.
Taking Reckless Photographs And Posting Them On Social Media
I had long known that the youth of the world today had some issues, but when 17-year-old Chicago rapper Chief Keef posted a picture of himself receiving 0-ral sex from a young woman (child p**n much?), ish was getting really unbelievable. There are too many youngsters posting pictures of themselves smoking weed, holding guns, wearing close to nothing and just basically doing a whole lot of nothing that I'm pretty sure they don't realize can come back to haunt them in the future. And if that's not enough, the captions they use to explain the photos are damn near impossible to read. Bump what you've heard: a mind is till a terrible thing to waste.
Using Hooliganism As An Excuse To Buy Their Candy
I'm all for young people trying to make that money in a harmless and legal way, and in NYC, many kids sell candy, fruit snacks and chips, going from car to car on trains doing so. But I've never really felt too great about young men saying, "I'm trying to sell candy to keep out of trouble on the streets." I think I would prefer they say that they're simply trying to make money than to try and guilt people into buying their snacks, because it shouldn't be an either or thing: Buy my snacks on the train, or I'm knocking an old lady down on the street. You have a choice to do the right thing even if pushing Doritos and Welch's fruit snacks on the train doesn't work out.
Exposing A Bit Too Much…
Whether it's talking about personal information way too loud so that everyone has an opinion they can't share, or literally coming out with too much skin showing and pants sagging down to their knees, some youngins are doing the most. How do you walk comfortably when you have your belt tied around your thighs? And thank goodness we're coming upon Winter weather, because the Summer brought out too many teen girls dressed like fast a** folks twice their age. Go sit down somewhere!
Doing Everything To Get WorldStar Exposure
For most people with sense, when bad or even dangerous things like a fight happen, most folks step back, walk away, or—in the case of the brave—even try to break the melee up. But some young people use these shenanigans as an opportunity to shout "WORLDSTAR! WORLDSTAR!" pull out their cell phones and start taping what they see so they can post it on the WorldStar Hip Hop website. Anybody remember the young woman who got into a Twitter argument with a girl, drove to her house and had her friend tape her beating up the girl? Yeah, that fool got into legal trouble because of it, and the not so innocent victim still uses the video to milk attention on Twitter.
Playing Explicit Music Loud In Public
Nothing is worse than being on public transportation, trying to read a book or having a moment to collect your thoughts only to have a young man stand next to you with their headphones on, still blasting, "Can't trust shawty cause my hoes they do drugs!!!!" and a lot worse lyrics that will have you wishing your stop was coming up next. And if you're really unlucky, you might find yourself near the little jerk who ditches their headphones altogether and blasts the worst music ever out of their phone for all to hear. Oh, joy…
Getting With Their Friends And Acting A Fool
There's just something about that mob mentality. And when it comes to many young people these days, that's when kids get in the most trouble. It has been a mob of young people who have walked into places like 7-Eleven and retail stores together all over the country to steal clothes, food, alcohol and whatever else they deem worth touching with their sticky fingers. And if that's not enough, being egged on by friends, some young people disrespect their elders (I've even seen some loudly laugh at an elder woman who almost tripped and fell trying to move away from their loud behinds). Makes you wonder how "bad" they would really be if they were all alone…
