If you knew that there was a Dolly Parton-themed amusement park in Tennessee's Smoky Mountains that's probably about all you knew about it. Now that Dollywood is marking its 30th summer celebrating all things Dolly, it's time you learned a thing (or 30) about the ever-growing park.
1. Back in 1986, Dolly Parton bought an interest in an existing amusement park and bestowed upon it the honour of her name. That summer, Dollywood opened to the world.
2. Why an amusement park? Why Tennessee? Why Dolly Parton? Well, the park was right near where she grew up and as she put it herself: "I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area."
3. The park had gone through a number of different names in the 25 years preceding Dolly's involvement. First it was a bit of a Civil War re-enactment with a train, and slowly turned into a Goldrush-style theme park. Now, as Dollywood, it's twice the size it was in 1986.
4. Today, the park has 27 rides including seven roller coasters and four water rides, plus a whole slew of live entertainment and other attractions.
5. In 2012, Dollywood became home to the country's first wing coaster, the Wild Eagle, where the cars hang off the side of the tracks (two riders on each side) rather than on top of it or beneath it, giving riders the sensation of flying. There are now three others in the U.S.
6. This summer, Dolly opened up the DreamMore Resort, adjacent to the park. Guests of the sprawling hotel complex get free front-of-the-line access at the park plus special entry points and early access on Saturday mornings.
7. Ten themed areas make up Dollywood and they're all modelled after different elements of the Southern Appalachian region: from Rivertown Junction through Craftsman's Valley, past the Country Fair, Timber Canyon, Wilderness Pass and others.
8. The park hosts five major events each year: the Festival of Nations, Barbecue & Bluegrass, Great American Summer, National Southern Gospel & Harvest Celebration and the Smoky Mountain Christmas, where Dolly has appeared in holographic form to perform in Dollywood's take on A Christmas Carol.
9. Visitors to the park can tour through a replica of the very modest Tennessee mountain home that Dolly grew up in with her parents and 11 siblings.
10. In 1996, Dolly started the Dollywood Foundation, based in the park, which runs Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. When it began, each child in the local county would receive a free book in the mail every year until they turned five. The program has since been expanded to 1,600 communities in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.
11. For 10 years, Dollywood had its own radio station that broadcast mostly country music in the area, with the call letters WDLY. The park even had its own remote broadcasting studio. In 2000 the AM and FM stations were sold and now broadcast adult contemporary music and sports-talk programming.
12. The park's log flume ride, Daredevil Falls, was billed as the highest and fastest waterfall ride in America when it opened in 1998 at 60-feet tall with speeds up to 96 km/h.
13. Dolly opened up a waterpark next to Dollywood in 2001, called Dollywood's Splash Country. The 35-acre park has 27 waterslides plus pools and a lazy river.
14. In 2007, the park added its most expensive ride ever to that point — the $17-million Mystery Mine roller coaster. But that splurge was nothing compared to what's still coming.
15. In 2016, the world's fastest wooden roller coaster is coming to Dollywood. The $22-million hot-rod-themed ride is the first wooden launched roller coaster, which uses a magnetic launch to shoot the coaster up 20 storeys at 72 miles per hour, meaning the coaster can reach top speeds of 117 km/h. Not bad for a woodie.
16. Dolly Parton doesn't ride the park's roller coasters, because she gets motion sickness.
17. The park gets 2.5 million visitors each year during its nine-month operating season.
18. In 2010, the amusement park won the industry's most prestigious award, the Liseberg Applause Award, which "recognizes excellence and inspiration in the amusement and theme park industry," and Dolly accepted it herself.
19. You can learn about all things Dolly at the Chasing Rainbows museum in the park, which runs through her life and career in great detail. You can also hear her narrate a journey through her homeland, the Great Smoky Mountains, in the Heartsong theatre attraction.
20. Dollywood is the biggest tourist attraction in Tennessee.
21. A one-day pass costs $62 (USD). Compare that to Disney World's $105 price tag.
22. Dollywood is the county's biggest employer in the county with 3,000 employees between the four properties (Dollywood, Dollywood's Splash Country, DreamMore Resort and Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede Diner Attraction).
23. The year Dollywood opened, Dolly Parton was featured on the cover of People magazine, alongside a caption that referred to her new park as a "hillbilly park." Ouch.
24. Y'ever seen a 25-pound apple pie? Well you can at Dollywood. You can grab a slice (said to feed a family of four) or buy your own entire pie… for $129.99 (USD).
25. Workers start putting up Dollywood's four million Christmas lights in July each year. Why they don't just leave them up year-round… we can assume only Dolly knows.
26. The train ride that was at the heart of the original park when it opened in 1961 is still running, but it's now called the Dollywood Express. It travels a four-kilometre loop around the park.
27. You can still watch blacksmiths in action in Craftsman's Valley, just like in the park's early days in the 60s. There are lots of other craftspeople in action there too, from leathersmiths to glass blowers and pottery makers.
28. Dolly reportedly visits a few times a year, though rarely makes her plans known ahead of time. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the park, she recently performed on two nights in the park, for the first time in ten years.
29. Dolly has said she'd like to open more Dollywood parks around the world, though there are no immediate plans for any.
30. While the park has doubled in size since it become Dollywood, Dolly said this year that they're still planning to grow. "We've got more land, and we've got more space, and we've got more dreams," she said.

I wish you and your website keeps on growing and serves us even better. Dheyal
I had posted my property for sale in all conventional means like prints media etc and did not get any response from last 8 months. My property was in Changanacherry, Kottayam, Kerala but I stay in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. Therefore, it was very difficult for me to get in touch with genuine buyers.
I found that hello address.com was on top in the google search. It is a very user friendly site. I registered myself on helloaddress.com and the miracle happened. I was able to find a genuine customer within a week's time. Last week the deal completed and I sold out the property in the expected price.

Featured: Samsung Galaxy S III Gets all dolled up in earth tones
Good news for all you Galaxy fans out there. You know who you are. I'm talking about the people who either are looking to buy a galaxy s III, already own one and just feel slighted that they didn't wait for the right color to show up, or just generally the tech freaks that enjoy the "new" about the hottest devices. Ok, mostly great news for the people who haven't purchased one yet. Because now they can decide on what color fits them best. Don't get me wrong, The pebble blue and marble white are both great colors, but the black and silver colors are looking pretty damn sexy on this phone. I know what you're all thinking; You like the black and silver too and you just want to take off that battery cover, juice her up and turn her on, so you two can play. At least take her out for a few drinks first, or find a wall socket.
Now if you're thinking black and silver are great but you want something with a little more color in your life, maybe the garnet red or the dirt brown will tickle your fancy. Trust me, dirt brown is a lot better than what I was calling it before. I also just want to point out that the led flash on the back kinda reminds of a piece of corn. That's all I'm going to say. On a more serious level, I never understood Samsung's allure with brown colored phones. I get the whole earth tone idea, which naturally means that they'd have to add in an earthy brown color. It's murphy's law. Really it is. Ok maybe not but it makes sense. I'm just saying, why "brown"? On a phone it just seems a tad weird and ugly if you ask me. But hey, to each their own. The basic idea behind the entire color scheme of the galaxy s III follows the same path as their design idea for the phone, "designed by nature." The official color names for the phones are "Amber brown" (not dirt as I stated), "garnet red", "sapphire black", and "titanium gray". The inspiration for the names comes from the richest materials of the earth to help sell the idea of the phone that is made in nature. If only we could stumble upon one of these growing in nature. You could pick it like a flower. Or fruit if that's your thing.
If You like the idea of these new colors and are eager to find out when you can get your hands on one, take a couple steps back. Samsung makes it clear that the color variations will be availability dependent on your country, retailer and carrier. Which means that some of us here in the us may never see one or more of these. As we know more about when the colors will arrive stateside we'll keep you posted.

Hi Guys,
So today I will be talking about another B. product purchased in the Superdrug 50% sale: an eyeshadow quad. I enjoy doing my eye makeup the most so I knew that this was a must have. There were a few colours but I decided to just grab one. This is a post I wrote sometime ago and found in my drafts as we moved and my makeup collection reduce I have this to a friend.
The first thing to note is that this packaging is very bulky. This would not be appropriate for travel and I could not put it in my handbag either. I wouldn't mind if this included a mirror but unfortunately it didn't, nor does the quad have a name!
There is quite a bit of fall out with these shadows, whilst they are being applied, but they seem to stay put once on the lid (this may just be due to my primer though). I do my eye makeup first so I could clean any mess up and it would not effect my face, otherwise it would have been ruined.
The colours are really quite pigmented and blend beautifully. I also enjoy the fact that all of these shadows work together. If the packaging was halved and there wasn't quite the fall out this would be the perfect quad.
Do your eye makeup first so you can clean up any spills and don't take these are holiday if you want space for other things!
Have your tried any B. items? Let me know your thoughts in the comment below.

Have you researched drugs and treatment options (even the holistic remedies that western medicine scoffs at) and presented them to the doctor?
Have you driven to apothecaries and natural food stores searching for something, anything that might help with nausea or fatigue and isn't another chemical solution?
Have you walked someone through treatment? From the severe anxiety beforehand to the side effects afterwards?
Have you provided for their every need whether it is unmentionable items at the drug store you never thought you would be buying or running out late at night for ginger ale to soothe the stomach?
Have you been the shoulder to cry on or had to bear the brunt of their rage and frustration because it's easier to take it out on a person than on the cancer?
Have you sat for hours in the hospital waiting room worried as every second ticks by that something has gone wrong?
Have you held your child as they cry out of worry for their dad?
Have you pried the tough questions out of your child because they are afraid of the answers?
Have you "held the fort down" because that's what you do when your spouse is sick?
Have you swallowed your feelings and emotions to protect yourself and your partner?
Have you cried and vented with a friend all of those things that you are afraid to say out loud for fear of them coming true?
Have you done things that are terrifying because they need to be done when you would rather run and bury your head in the sand?
Have you had the tough conversations like "Hey, instead of having a beer together let's do something else. I want your liver to be as healthy as possible!"?
Have you talked about death and funerals and odds?
If you have, then you can judge me or claim to understand. If you haven't, then you are so very lucky indeed.

Sunaina Roshan Pens An Heartwarming Note For Brother Hrithik Roshan; Takes Him Down The Memory Lane
We all know that Hritik Roshan shares an incredibly special bond with his family specially his sister, Sunaina Roshan. Not many people know but Hrithik actually saved his sister's life by encouraging her to undergo bariatric surgery so that she could lead a healthier and happier life.
So, recently, Sunaina Roshan penned down a heart-wrenching and emotional note dedicated to her brother Hrithik, and their relationship. Sunaina, who is two years elder to Hrithik, dedicated the blog post to him and their childhood memories. The blog has been titled as 'My Brother Duggu'.
She writes, "Duggu (Hrithik) is only 2 years younger to me but he would always behave like a protective older brother. He was extremely shy and reserved with others but with me he would always land up having his way. We would fight so much that my mom didn't know if it was normal (being the only child herself), she would actually call her friends asking them if it was common for two siblings to fight the way we did. "
She further adds, "Being as shy as he was, it was super easy to get back at him by teasing him among friends. But our love for each other was far greater than our fights. As a brother, Duggu was very protective of me during those growing up years and one day during my teens, he found out that I was dating one of his close friends and that was that. It changed his equation with that guy forever."
"Being the protective brother he would keep an eye on me and if I ever did anything which he thought was wrong for me, he would be the first one to tell Mom and Dad.", the post reads further.
Sunaina contines to talk about Hrithik's stammer and how dealing with his stammer was the biggest hurdle for him. "I remember watching him at the age of 13 as he would sit and read aloud for hours, sometimes alone in the bathroom every single day, morning and night without fail," she writes, adding, "He would record his voice to know the words that he would stammer and at practise them over and over again till he got them right."
Well, needless to say, Sunaina Roshan and Hrithik Roshan make an outstanding bhai-behen ki jodi!

Well, it is not every day that a new government gets sworn in. I just happened to be having my chicken sandwich when it came on the box. Let's hope that these good men in black will be able to sort the country out. Anyway it is Friday, and I've got that Friday feeling. David and I are going out on the town tonight, so we shall hear the reaction on the street. That is if there is anybody on the street in Vrahassi.
Did you see the total eclipse of the moon? It was awesome. Very inspirational.
The weather is still on the cool side for June. No worries I can work much better in these temperatures.
Have a good weekend everyone. To Barbara and Lorrain, see you very soon. To Barbara and Stuart, see you even sooner, and to Manolis my Greek teacher, θα σε δω αυριο!

North Carolina Pest News – June 21, 2013 (Field and Forage Crops)
North Carolina State University * College of Agriculture & Life Sciences
Dept. of Entomology * Box 7613 * Raleigh, NC 27695 * Ph: (919) 513-8189
Stephen J. Toth, Jr., editor

CAUTION: The information and recommendations in this newsletter are applicable to North Carolina and may not apply in other areas.
From: Jack Bacheler, Extension Entomologist
Cotton Insect Update
Thrips "Season" over for most: Thrips beat some folks up (cotton seedlings, that is) pretty bad this year, with most damage hitting producers who used a seed treatment but didn't respond quickly enough when the seed treatment residual ran out early after only about 2 or 2½ weeks of residual activity following a stretch of warm very dry weather. This weather pattern served to dry down thrips weed hosts surrounding cotton fields, resulting in large incoming adult flights that were on the late side but into generally late cotton. Add in some herbicide injury and heavy rainfall, and many cotton field got off to a rough start. It's nice to see our present good moisture conditions and warm weather – at least for many.
Chill: With the thrips season over (or almost past) for most North Carolina cotton growers, we often have a period when insects leave us alone. Hopefully that will be the case this year. We have only had a few calls about spider mites and plant bugs – so far nothing yet treatable has been brought to our attention. Judging from a random sampling of cotton field drive-bys, weed management looks like significant challenge for many.
Big year for plant bugs? Based on a few corn field assessments and some ditch bank sweepings, we seem to have more that our usual level of plant bugs so far this season. A large eastern North Carolina consultant (not overweigh – just many grower clients), notified us with the same observation on corn. Many wild flowering weeds are good early hosts for plant bugs. Once these hosts and corn silks dry down, adult plant bug movement into cotton can materialize quickly.
Square retention assessments: With some cotton fields now squaring, square retention monitoring should be underway in those fields. Weekly checks of upper square retention is the most efficient way to assess if plant bugs can either be ruled out as an economic concern at that time or if sweeping for the adults and nymphs is needed. An upper square retention rate of 80% of more usually indicates that plant bugs are not present at damaging levels. If upper square retention is less than 80%, we recommend sweeping 6 to 8 or 10 locations in the field away from the edge, looking for live adult and immature plant bugs (see Cotton Information, page 126-127 for more details – http://ipm.ncsu.edu/cotton/
Call or e-mail us: It'll be interesting to find out what we all see in the way of cotton aphids, spider mites and plant bugs in the coming weeks. We'll try to keep you posted. Please feel free to send us your observations in the coming weeks.
Cotton/Soybean Scouting Schools: Beginning with the next issue of North Carolina Pest News, we will begin posting upcoming cotton/soybean scouting schools. Indoor and outdoor training will be offered for both crops. Presently we plan to have schools in Onslow, Greene and Bertie counties during the week of July 15-18. The details of these, and hopefully other schools, will follow.
From: Dominic Reisig, Extension Entomologist
Insecticides for Plant Bugs
With cotton squaring and flowering weeks away, it is a good idea to think about treatment options for plant bugs. Generally the neonicotinoid-class insecticides perform well early in the season before flowering and often at lower rates. These include products such as Admire Pro, Belay, Centric, Intruder, Trimax Pro, etc. The advantage to using these products is that they generally do not flare secondary pests, such as spider mites, and may preserve some, but not all, beneficial insects. In general, a product that is killing a plant bug will likely kill related beneficial insects such as minute pirate bug and insidious flower bug, damsel bugs, assassin bugs, and big-eyed bugs. However, these products are still much less harsh on the system than pyrethroid and organophosphate-class insecticides.
Later on in the season, neonicotinoid insecticides generally do not work as well. However, Belay seemed to perform in a plant bug trial during 2010. That being said, I am recommending that you do not spray a pure neonicotinoid product more than once a season (common examples of Admire Pro, Belay, Centric, Intruder, Trimax Pro are listed above) or a mixed product more than twice a season (common examples include Brigadier, Endigo, and Leverage 360). Aphid resistance to neonicotinoids is on the rise and was confirmed in Eastern North Carolina in 2012. All cotton seed treatments targeting thrips are neonicotinoids and pre-mixed product use in cotton is widespread. Hence, the increase in neonicotinoids in cotton is increasing aphid resistance to these products. Therefore, to counteract this resistance I am recommending that you rotate insecticides.
Here is an example of a spray plan. For the first plant bug spray pre-bloom, at squaring or first flower, consider using a stand-alone neonicotinoid product (common examples include Admire Pro, Belay, Centric, Intruder, Trimax Pro). If plant bugs are still a concern later on, or require a second spray, first check to see that aphids are not common in the field. If they are, you should not use a neonicotinoid again. Switch to a product like Carbine or Transform. Remember that aphids first occur in field "hot-spots". So you might not see a population and resistance developing until it is full-blown. Be sure to scout these fields intensively. If aphids are not a concern, you should still not use a stand-alone neonicotinoid product for a second spray, but should switch to one of the pre-mixed products or an organophosphate/carbamate-only product (e.g., Bidrin, Orthene or Vydate). Many of these products are also effective against stink bugs; eliminating stink bugs can be beneficial during the period of boll formation. The downside to these products is that they kill beneficial insects and put you at risk for bollworm and spider mites.

Mid Summer Tobacco Insect Update
Caterpillars Large and Small
So far this year, tobacco budworm (http://tobacco.ces.ncsu.edu/
Two weeks ago, we found our first hornworms (http://tobacco.ces.ncsu.edu/
Natural Enemies
While keeping tabs on the pest insects present in our experiments, we did notice some beneficial insects at work as well.
Natural enemies of caterpillar and aphid pests are common in southeastern tobacco fields, and they can often reduce or maintain pest populations below threshold on their own. Therefore, it's important to continue to monitor insect pests before making management decisions.

Suckfly Biology
Tupiocoris notatus (Distant) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is commonly known as the "suckfly" and it is a leaffeeding, sap-sucking bug with a wide distribution in the southern United States. T. notatus has been recorded as a tobacco pest in the southeastern U.S. since the late 1800, and in some accounts of Florida farmers, it was described as "the most serious insect with which they have to contend" (Quaintance, 1898). Currently, the suckfly is considered a minor pest that may periodically become abundant on flue-cured tobacco in the late season. Both nymphs and adults damage the leaf by feeding on leaf cell contents, causing leaf chlorosis and can cover leaves with a black, gummy excrement, which may seriously affect the curing process. The adults are 3-4 mm long (about 1/8 inch), light brown color and highly mobile. Females have a wider abdomen and their long ovipositor, or egg laying devise, can be observed under magnification. Females insert their elongated, paddle-shaped eggs (0.6-0.7 mm long) into the leaf veins (Van Dam and Hare, 1998). Males look similar to females, but are skinnier and their abdomens are flatter, particularly in lateral view. The nymphs emerge 3-5 days after oviposition (at 28 °C). There are four or five nymphal stages (Quaintance, 1898; Howard, 1900), which altogether last about 2 weeks. Nymphs are usually yellowish green in color with reddish eyes and are also highly mobile. The current scientific name of this pest is Tupiocoris notatus; however, it has also been described as Dicyphus minimus and Cyrtopeltis notatus in other publications. It is possible that the umbrella term "suckfly" covers several similar species that can occasionally attack tobacco, since reports of others closely related species in wild relatives of tobacco and other solanaceous plants are known.
Threshold and Management
If necessary, suckflies may be controlled with insecticides on late-planted tobacco. Treatment should begin when 25 percent or more of the plants show readily visible signs of infestation (e.g., excrement and suckfly nymphs on underside of leaves). For specific chemical recommendations, consult the current North Carolina Agricultural Chemicals Manual.
Organic Management
There is currently no information on organic control of this pest in the field, but we have controlled this pest in the greenhouse with the use of insecticidal soaps. Since eggs are buried inside the leaf, multiple applications may be needed to achieve adequate levels of control.

In keeping with the nature of Spring we are having some new beginnings of our very own to bounce us into the new term!
We are excited and delighted to have created a space for two year olds in the room the Sea Cadets use to peruse charts. As parents you may be more familiar with it as the buggy, scooter and bike store room. But no more! This holiday has seen it blossom and evolve into a gorgeous cosy space for two year olds in the morning sessions.
Anna, Fawzia and Tim put heads together with lovely results! Tim laid the new floor and did an Ikea run, Anna was the creative director in designing the space and Fawzia ran around a lot and chipped in here and there!
And now all we need is the arrival of our two year olds on Monday morning. Let the fun, cuteness and laughter commence! One of the first things we are going to do is get our two year olds to suggest a name for their room...

Submit your study visa application in the United Kingdom without consultation
To get study in abroad is the dream of every student, especially in the case of the countries involved in extending assistance in all parts of the world, including Asia and Africa in the first place. Today we intend to guide those who seek response "ways to get a UK visa" question.
You must select one category from among the following:
The British government divided the visa investigation into two categories as follows:
- Child visa
- Visa for adults
The review visa category depends on the age of the candidate. If visa seekers are between 4 and 17 years, where it should be followed with respect to "the child Visa student." If this candidate is over the age of adolescence, he / she must submit the application for the Visa for adults.
Important point: in order to make the use of the first and postgraduate degree or doctoral degree, the candidate must submit a request for a visa adult category.
Method of application with respect to Study Visa:
In Perspective of applying study visa, you want to obtain a college student visa; you have to define almost any denomination or university where he / she would like to apply for the admission. There are many universities that offer people without IELTS, and that's very important for foreign students wishing to obtain a student visa without IELTS United Kingdom. Just about all universities and institutions of learning and advanced features interview to answer questions on the visa departments.
Remember, there are two types of institutions that carry out work in the UK.
- Institutes that maintain accredited to provide the level of help international students
- Those which are not certified to provide this level.
So, you need to check this important perspective of institute in which you are going to apply.
Before taking admission at any institute, make sure that this institute helps maintain an agreement to provide a level to help the international student. Once you're sure that with such Institute originality and honesty, and commitment of the following ways:
These recommendations provide education, high school students and meet all the conditions that are essential for entry. Repeatedly amend laws are reviewing the visa in the UK with respect to international people. Therefore, be sure to follow the new regulations for a visa to study in the UK. And the vast majority of universities and schools of these basics for entry into the UK organizations in its standard website offered. Check and send more than necessary.
After that, you will have to provide the organization a fee. Reserves in the brain that the review of visa fees in the UK is unique in terms of cost must be implemented within the Institute. You need to deposit in the office or Visa embassy in their analysis of the visa fee in the UK. After filing charges soon, academic institution issued his acceptance speech of the candidate.
At the moment, and that is probably a difficult thing. I intend to get on the analysis of the application of UK visa in 2016 through the visa office in your country as well as provide after filling with the required documentation. Actually, it is recommended that you send your articles, including text, academics, financial stress, noted the support and the reason for the study, analysis and other important at the visa office in your action plan.
While research the visa process in the UK depends on several issues, including but not limited to articles, and the area of the source, and the degree of study and design of the visa and a lot of other issues.
Some applicants may be required to appear in connection with an interview before the final result is made in the provision of a study visa unified UK. interview questions for a visa to study in the UK can also be simple, and the right, who wants to be the real reason for learning in the UK, the foundation for learning, of course, carefully and then complete their research could do and then, after his return from the UK.

We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope let men deride;
for this we count the world but loss.
Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, God is love:
he bears our sins upon the tree:
he brings us mercy from above.
The cross: it takes our guilt away,
it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup.
The balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angel's theme in heaven above.

text: Could Russia attack and defeat the British military if no other country gets involved? Without nuclear weapons, Russia could wreak havoc with cruise missiles. However, Russia lacks transports to deliver sufficient ground troops, heavy weapons, fuel and ammo to fight the British military. Whatever they have, the UK could defeat with submarines, shore-based artillery, torpedoes, anti-ship missiles and air defense. The total size of the Russian military is irrelevant, what matters is the capabilities. With nuclear weapons, Russia could technically obliterate the UK, but would then suffer a second strike and lose most of its large cities, after which electricity, fuel and food distribution would collapse, and so would manufacturing, along with the entire economy. Note that UK submarines on patrol can launch nuclear strikes at Russia independently of any other countries if necessary. The question assumes that no other country helps Russia, leaving the Russian population doomed to starvation (recall how the US sent food aid to Russia until 1999 or so). Moreover, even if no other country gets involved on the UK side, Russia would not necessarily know this. Without knowing this, Russia would expect a NATO response (according to Article V), and that would be devastating to Russia any way you look at it. So, Russia would not commit significant forces to an attack on the UK. Without a significant commitment, an attack would not succeed.

Robert Kirkman blew the minds of The Walking Dead fans this past New York Comic Con when he announced that a character would finally be crossing over between The Walking Dead and its sister series Fear the Walking Dead. Yet the franchise creator remained coy by not revealing the identity of the character in question. That query will now officially be answered this Sunday night on the Chris Hardwick-hosted after show, Talking Dead, at 10 p.m. on AMC.
THIS IS IT. The crossover character will be revealed THIS SUNDAY on @AMCTalkingDead. Tune in 11/26 at 10/9C. #TWD #FearTWD pic.twitter.com/XWihcyW0ol— The Walking Dead AMC (@WalkingDead_AMC) November 24, 2017
The most commonly recurring theory as to who might be crossing over is The Walking Dead alum Michael Cudlitz, whose run as the fan-favorite Abraham came to a grisly end during the Season 7 premiere. Since Fear the Walking Dead takes place earlier in the post-outbreak timeline, the character would ostensibly still be alive during Fear's upcoming fourth season.
Shortly after Abraham was first introduced, he revealed to other characters that he was living with his family in Texas around the time of the outbreak, making him potentially very close in proximity to the leads of Fear the Walking Dead, who will soon be departing the country of Mexico and heading north.
RELATED: Walking Dead Ratings Fall to 6-Year Low
Airing Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on AMC, The Walking Dead stars Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon, Lauren Cohan as Maggie Rhee, Chandler Riggs as Carl Grimes, Danai Gurira as Michonne, Melissa McBride as Carol Peletier, Lennie James as Morgan Jones, Alanna Masterson as Tara Chambler, Josh McDermitt as Eugene Porter, Christian Serratos as Rosita Espinosa and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan.
Fear the Walking Dead is projected to debut its fourth season in 2018. The series stars Kim Dickens, Frank Dillane, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Lorenzo James Henrie, Rubén Blades, Colman Domingo, Michelle Ang, Danay Garcia, Daniel Sharman, Sam Underwood, Dayton Callie and Lisandra Tena.

This website will be the primary source of information and point of contact for the local community. The wider community is invited to contribute their ideas by completing the online survey, making a written submission or uploading a design idea or images.
- Community Deliberative Forum – Ongoing
To anchor the engagement process in the opinions of the community, a group of Hornsby Shire residents have been randomly selected to assist Council in the engagement process and ensure the future of Hornsby Park is designed, owned, used, and loved by residents. They will assist Council to consider the initial outcomes from 'Plan Your Parkland', choose which ideas to take forward and review the final outcomes of the engagement.
- Stakeholder Meetings – Round 1 Complete. Future sessions to be advised
Council will provide key stakeholders the opportunity to provide their ideas and visions for the future parkland.
- 'Plan Your Parkland' Community Information and Feedback Sessions – Complete. Future sessions to be advised
A showcase of the design ideas collected through the 'Plan your Parkland' engagement activities will be presented to the community on these days.
Community Information and Feedback Sessions Gallery
- Plan Your Parkland Outcomes Report – June 2017 – Complete
Feedback received throughout the 'Plan Your Parkland' was analysed and a report has been prepared outlining the key ideas and sentiments that were heard during the pre-design engagement process. Future stages of design development and engagement phases will be reported to the community.
Download the 'Plan Your Parkland 'Outcomes Report
- EIS Communication and Engagement – October/ November 2018 – Complete (opportunity for the making of submissions coming up, dates to be advised)
Following the 'Plan Your Parkland' round of engagement of 2017, Council embarked on preparing an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) that will soon be lodged and subject to a Development Application assessment process.
The EIS provides information on how Council proposes to create a safe and flexible landform for the parkland. It will address environmental impacts, mitigation measures and will inform development consent decisions.In the lead-up to the EIS being publically exhibited in early 2019, Council has engaged with the community so that they have an understanding of what the document considers, and to inform the preparation of submissions during the exhibition period.
[NB: The EIS does not deal with detailed landscape or recreation outcomes. A later stage of works – a more detailed phase for the development of specific landscape design and recreation outcomes for the future parkland – will follow and will be subject to separate engagement and approval processes, which may commence in 2019/ 2020].

In their first 11 drafts, the Rockies took a position player in the first round just once--Todd Helton in 1995. Since then, they have taken Stewart with the 10th overall pick in 2003, followed by shortstops Chris Nelson in 2004 and Troy Tulowitzki in 2005. Before signing for $1.95 million, Stewart starred as an amateur, winning a bronze medal with Team USA at the 2002 World Junior Championships and leading La Quinta (Calif.) High to a No. 3 national ranking in 2003. He ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the Rookie-level Pioneer League in 2003 and No. 2 in the low Class A South Atlantic League in 2004 before facing adversity for the first time in 2005. A pulled hamstring forced him to spend April in extended spring training, and a sprained right wrist cost him a week in June. But he reinforced Colorado's confidence in his potential by rallying to hit .299-11-52 in his final 60 games at high Class A Modesto to rate as the fourth-best prospect in the California League. He batted .333-3-12 in 12 Arizona Fall League games before reinjuring his wrist sliding into second base. Stewart should be a quality run producer in the middle of a big league lineup. He has quick hands that allow him to wait on pitches, and his pitch recognition is strong. He's a natural hitter with bat speed, strength and a slight uppercut which generates loft power. He can drive balls out of the park to the opposite field. He handles lefthanded pitching better than most lefty hitters, in part because his father is a southpaw and has thrown him batting practice for years. Stewart is driven to be an elite player, and he makes no qualms that he expects to become not only an all-star, but also a Gold Glover. He has average speed and plus arm strength. Stewart's swing can get a little long, but his bat is quick enough to compensate. He did have some problems early on in 2005 when pitchers fed him a steady diet of breaking balls and offspeed pitches. He showed the ability to adjust and took advantage of that pitching pattern later in the season. Stewart's third-base defense needs the most work. He made impressive strides in 2004 but seemed to level off in 2005. He reacts a little slowly and has trouble with hard-hit balls directly at him. If Garrett Atkins builds on his rookie season in Colorado, it's possible that Stewart could move to right field, a shift some scouts thought was inevitable when he was in high school. However, he has improved and won't change positions any time soon. Stewart didn't suffer any structural damage when he reinjured his wrist and is expected to be 100 percent by spring training. He'll move to Double-A Tulsa and could reach Triple-A Colorado Springs by midseason if he stays healthy. If all goes according to plan, his bat could earn him a trip to the majors in September, but a more likely scenario is a mid-2007 arrival at Coors Field. He should follow in Helton's footsteps and become the organization's second homegrown star.
Tulowitzki has been compared to Bobby Crosby since succeeding him at shortstop for Long Beach State. The seventh overall pick in the 2005 draft, he signed for $2.3 million. He went straight to high Class A, and the only negative in his pro debut was a torn quadriceps that limited him to 22 games. Most scouts think Tulowitzki is slightly ahead of Crosby, the 2004 American League rookie of the year, at the same stage of their careers and a better fit at shortstop. Tulowitzki has the stroke, strength and bat speed to hit 25-30 homers annually. Though he's big, he doesn't sacrifice any athleticism. He has above-average range and arm strength, and his exceptional instincts allow him to extend his range. Tulowitzki sometimes can get out of control and too aggressive at the plate. He could control the strike zone a little better. A broken hamate bone in the spring and the torn quad restricted his development in 2005. Despite the injury, Tulowitzki should be able to handle the jump to Double-A for his first full season. He could be Colorado's starter by 2007.
The Rockies brought Morales along slowly in his first full season in the United States. Signed out of the Dominican Republic at 16, he worked in relief early in 2005 before moving into the low Class A Asheville rotation. He improved greatly from his 7.62 ERA at Rookie-level Casper in his U.S. debut. Morales has a live arm. His fastball ranges from 92-98 mph and sits at 94-95. Working from a three-quarters arm slot, he shows a good curveball and an average changeup already. He's tough to run on. He demonstrates a flair and confidence beyond his youth on the mound. Like most young pitchers, Morales lacks consistency. He tends to overthrow when he gets in trouble, costing him control. He needs to throw more strikes, especially when he faces more advanced hitters who will wait him out. He has the basics of a good delivery, though he doesn't always maintain it. Morales will open 2006 in high Class A. The Rockies have shown a willingness to be patient with young Latin pitchers, but they think he has a chance to be special and could accelerate his timetable.
Roe had a chance to follow in the footsteps of his father Donald and play football at Kentucky, but he decided to focus on baseball after having two concussions in high school. The Twins and Braves considerd him in the late first round of the 2005 draft, but he slipped to the Rockies with the 32nd pick. He signed for $1.025 million and made the Pioneer League all-star team in his debut. Roe has a low-90s fastball with hard downward movement and tops out at 95. He has the makings of a downright nasty curveball, which one national crosschecker called the best he'd seen from a high school pitcher in the last decade. Loose and athletic, he has the ideal build for future projection. His work ethic and feel for the game stood out in Rookie ball. Roe's curveball is still inconsistent and gets slurvy at times. He also needs to polish up his changeup. He's also working on his control, which is hindered when he rushes his delivery and loses balance. He can get too aggressive at times. If everything clicks, Roe can be a front-of-the-rotation starter. He'll probably open his first full season in low Class A.
Jimenez was on a roll in high Class A in 2004 when the Rockies discovered the beginnings of a stress fracture in his right shoulder. He started slowly in 2005 but earned a promotion to Double-A and adapted well by season's end. Jimenez is a pure power pitcher capable of reaching 96-98 mph, and he worked consistently around 92-94 in 2005. His 12-to-6 curveball is a swing-and-miss pitch, and he has the confidence to throw it when he's behind in the count. He flashes a plus changeup at times. His confidence has grown with his mastery of English. Jimenez' mechanics had to be overhauled to get him back into a compact motion directed at the plate. He still needs to improve his command and his changeup. Though his shoulder woes appear behind him, questions about his health and his delivery prompt some to project him as a future closer. He'll return to Double-A to begin 2006, but could finish the season in Colorado. He has shown too much potential as a starter to consider moving him to the bullpen at this time.
North Carolina has produced big league catchers Dwight Lowry, Scott Bradley, B.J. Surhoff, Matt Merullo and Jesse Levis in the last three decades, and Iannetta is the next in line. Rockies pitcher Aaron Cook raved about his receiving ability while on a rehab assignment at Modesto. Iannetta played in the Futures Game in his first full season. Iannetta has a compact swing and good pitch recognition, and his bat has been a pleasant surprise. He should hit for average with gap power. His calling card is his defense. He has soft hands, good agility and a plus arm with a strong release. His poise and leadership enable him to help pitchers work through tough situations. Iannetta can tie himself up when he gets technical with his approach. He tried to play with a broken left hand late in the season, but he couldn't grip the bat properly and his performance suffered. Iannetta will stay in Double-A to start 2006, but he should be able to make another midseason jump. There's no one standing in his way to becoming Colorado's starting catcher in 2007.
The Rockies have developed Morillo cautiously, keeping him in Rookie and short-season leagues for his first four years. He made his full season debut in 2005 and advanced to high Class A after six weeks. Morillo fires easy, effortless gas, and the White Sox reportedly clocked him at 104 mph in 2004. He regularly pops 100 mph and pitches at 95-97. Durable and resilient, he never has missed a start as a pro. He may light up radar guns, but Morillo is primarily a one-pitch pitcher. He still needs to learn to command his fastball and improve his secondary pitches. He has a hard slider and a changeup, but he doesn't have enough command to throw them with confidence. His slider reaches the upper 80s, but he'll try to throw it too hard and lose break. He led the California League in walks, and even when he throws strikes he often leaves his pitches up in the zone. Because he only has one reliable pitch, several scouts foresee Morillo moving to the bullpen, where he could develop into a big league closer. He'll stay in the rotation in Double-A in 2006.
The Rockies took Shealy in the fifth round out of high school in 1998 but didn't sign him until drafting him again as a college senior. He won two home run titles in his first three pro seasons and would have challenged for the Triple-A Pacific Coast League crown in 2005 if not for his big league time. Shealy has tremendous strength and makes pitchers pay if they miss on the inner third of the plate. He has the patience to work counts and is comfortable hitting the ball the other way. He has soft hands and has improved at first base. The last job for Shealy is to turn on pitches more regularly. Though he's a big man with limited range and speed, he has lost 30 pounds since spring training in 2005. Blocked at first base by Todd Helton, he hopes his work on conditioning and agility will make him an option as a corner outfielder. Coming off an inspiring showing with the Rockies, Shealy has earned a spot on the roster. Finding regular playing time will be a bigger challenge.
The Orioles planned on taking Nelson with the eighth overall pick in 2004 until owner Peter Angelos mandated they choose a college pitcher. The Rockies gladly selected him at No. 9 and signed him for $2.15 million. He never got untracked in 2005 while battling groin and hamstring injuries. Nelson is a line-drive hitter with plus speed. The Rockies think he can hit 25-plus homers on an annual basis once he matures physically and develops lift in his swing. One of the best athletes in the system, he has the size, instincts, quick feet and arm to play shortstop. Nelson's plate discipline left something to be desired in 2005, robbing him of the ability to drive the ball with authority. He also developed a bit of a hitch in his throwing motion, a possible side effect after having Tommy John surgery prior to his senior year in high school. He didn't square up to the target on throws during the regular season and focused on correcting that during instructional league. Nelson profiles at shortstop, but so does Tulowitzki, who should beat him to Colorado. Nelson, who will open 2006 in high Class A, could move to second base or center field if needed.
A projected second-round pick out of high school, Fowler slipped in the 2004 draft because he had the options of playing basketball at Harvard and baseball at Miami. The Rockies' strategy to take a 14thround flier on him paid off when they freed up money by dealing Larry Walker at the 2004 trade deadline, then landed Fowler with a $925,000 bonus. Because he signed late, he didn't play in a pro game until last year. Compared to Andre Dawson and Andruw Jones for his raw talent and athleticism, Fowler had a solid debut, especially considering he began to switch-hit for the first time. His swing can get lengthy, tying him up at times and leading to strikeouts, but the natural righty still managed to bat .258 from the left side of the plate. Like most young players he has trouble with inside pitches but drives balls on the outer half to all fields. A talented athlete with fluid actions, Fowler still is filling out and figures to get stronger as he matures. He glides in the outfield, and his well above-average speed helps him project as a plus defensive center fielder in the future. His arm is just fringe average. He has a bright future, and the Rockies will try to follow a step-by-step approach knowing that his development will require patience. He'll play in low Class A this year.
Looking for a quality middle infielder, the Rockies jumped at the opportunity to pick up Quintanilla in the Joe Kennedy-Eric Byrnes trade last July. Quintanilla never had played above Double-A and was rushed to the majors after 13 Triple-A games because Colorado needed bodies. In a perfect world, he'd get at least a half-season of Triple-A seasoning in 2006, but he may earn a spot on the big league roster by default because of the Rockies' limited infield depth. A sparkplug on Texas' 2002 College World Series championship club, he has the makeup to handle the challenge if needed. A career .320 hitter in the minors, Quintanilla not only can hit for average but also can sting the ball into the gaps. Scouts like the way he uses the opposite field, though he got into trouble in the majors by becoming too pull-conscious, leading to problems with breaking pitches. He controls the strike zone and is aggressive because of the confidence he has in his ability to handle the bat. Quintanilla doesn't have the range teams look for at shortstop, but he makes plays thanks to his quick hands and strong instincts. He had no problem adapting to second base at the big league level. He has average speed and is a smart baserunner.
Macri was a two-way standout and a potential first-round draft choice out of high school, but he intended to fulfill his scholarship commitment to Notre Dame. The Twins still drafted him in the 17th round in 2001 as a backup plan in case No. 1 overall pick Joe Mauer didn't sign. Macri's career with the Fighting Irish was sidetracked by Tommy John surgery during his freshman year. He went undrafted as a sophomore-eligible in 2003, and went in the fifth round a year later because concerns about his bat arose after he hit .172 with wood in the Cape Cod League. He has answered those questions with two solid years as a pro. After using an inside-out swing in college, he has begun to turn on pitches and show budding power in the minors. He still strikes out too much, which may be his undoing at higher levels. A good athlete who earned Iowa Mr. Football honors in 2000, he has average speed and is one of the top defensive infielders in the system. Where he'll wind up remains in question. He played third base at Notre Dame and in his debut, but the Rockies are loaded at the hot corner, starting with No. 1 overall prospect Ian Stewart. As a result, Macri moved to shortstop in 2005, but Colorado's last two first-round picks (Chris Nelson and Troy Tulowitzki) are better suited for the position than he is. He has good hands, and while his arm action isn't smooth in the wake of his elbow surgery, he has plenty of arm strength. Macri is a true professional, working hard to improve and showing a very good feel for the game. His biggest problem as a pro has been staying healthy. He missed time in 2004 with plantar fascitis in his foot, and again in 2005 with a sprained left wrist. He's ticketed for Double-A along with Stewart and Tulowitzki, so Macri could move to second base this year.
The first major Australian free agent signed by the Rockies, Lindsay emerged as the short-season Northwest League's top prospect in 2005. He led the league in strikeouts while ranking second in wins and third in ERA. He left the league a week early to pitch at the World Cup. After making so much progress, Lindsay received bad news about his shoulder during the offseason. An MRI exam in Australia revealed what the Rockies believed was a torn labrum, though they planned a further examination in January. If he needs surgery, he would miss the entire 2006 season. Lindsay is aggressive with his fastball, which sits at 91- 92 mph. As a game goes on, his velocity will climb as high as 95-97 mph. He features a good spike curveball that he used with better judgment after throwing it too often in his shaky 2004 pro debut. His circle change should become a solid third pitch. Command issues were a major problem for Lindsay in his 2004 debut. A back problem led to bad mechanics that he since has ironed out, but like most of the Rockies' top arms he'll have to throw more strikes. His ability to locate his curve comes and goes. He's hesitant to throw his changeup, which he'll need to be a dominant starter. If Lindsay is healthy, his next challenge is to prove he can excel at the full-season level. But that's a big if.
Baker is headed into the final year of a four-year, $2 million contract he signed as a fourth-rounder in 2002, after plummeting from first-round status because of his contract demands coupled with a poor history in wood bat leagues. Plagued by injuries, he never has played in more than 96 games in any of his three seasons as a pro. Problems with his left wrist limited him during his first two years, requiring three surgeries, and bad luck got the best of him in 2005. He started the year at third base as an emergency replacement for Garrett Atkins and would have returned to the big leagues when Clint Barmes went on the disabled list, but Baker was suffering from a deep bone bruise on his right thumb. A month later, he broke his left thumb when a batted ball struck him during batting practice. Clemson's all-time leader with 59 home run--breaking Matthew LeCroy's mark--Baker understands hitting and employs a solid approach. He stays back well on offspeed stuff and consistently drives the ball to the big part of the field. He doesn't have overwhelming raw power and isn't going to hit tape-measure shots, but he's a legitimate homer threat who smokes hard line drives. Strikeouts always have been a tradeoff for his power. He has played mostly third base, but he'll probably move to right field with Atkins in the big leagues and Ian Stewart coming up behind him. Baker has the speed and arm to handle the outfield and looked comfortable there during workouts last spring with big league coach Dave Collins. Baker likely will head back to Triple-A in 2006.
The Rockies have had success with quarterbacks giving up football for baseball, with Todd Helton and Matt Holliday as the prime examples. Now comes Smith, who served as Eli Manning's backup at Mississippi, though he never took a snap in his three years. Colorado was pleased to land him in the second round in 2004. He overmatched the Pioneer League in his pro debut but wasn't nearly as dominant in the hitter-friendly California League last year. Smith has a smooth swing and he stays inside the ball. He has to guard against getting power-conscious, a problem that caused some concerns during his junior year at Mississippi and caused him to slip out of the first round. He didn't control the strike zone very well in 2005. His homer output (nine) also was disappointing, but he did hit 45 doubles and should have more over-the-fence power as he matures as a hitter. Smith is a strong athlete who runs well underway but doesn't figure to be a basestealing threat. His arm is average, though he needs a lot of work defensively in the outfield. A center fielder in college, he played primarily in right field last year. The Rockies would like to see him show a better work ethic to address his shortcomings in Double-A this year.
Miller went undrafted as a junior in 2003 at Louisiana-Monroe, and he turned down free agent opportunities after starring at the National Baseball Congress World Series because he wanted to complete his mathematics degree. After graduating in 2004, he signed for $12,000 as an eighth-round pick and led the Northwest League in saves during his pro debut. He tallied 34 more to lead the system last year, when he was untouchable following a second-half promotion to Double-A. He can overpower hitters with a 93-95 mph fastball. It doesn't have much life, but he can blow his fastball by hitters up in the zone and locate it on both sides of the plate. He also uses a slider and an occasional changeup, though he hasn't shown the confidence to throw either consistently. Despite his success thus far, he'll have to refine a second pitch to use against more advanced hitters. If he can do that, he could reach Colorado by September.
An eighth-round senior sign like Jim Miller, Salazar narrowly missed a 30-30 season and led the South Atlantic League in homers and RBIs in his first full year as a pro in 2003. He reached Triple-A last year and continued to show flashes of being a total-package center fielder, but his previous consistency was missing. For the first time in pro ball, he struck out more than he walked. Salazar needs to learn to stay back on pitches and use the opposite field if he wants to reach his potential. A top-of-the-lineup candidate, he offers power and speed as well as good on-base and bunting ability. Defensively, he has excellent instincts and the confidence that's mandatory for a center fielder. His arm is below-average. He could prove to be a nice fit in Colorado, possibly by midseason. Cory Sullivan impressed the Rockies with his hustle and defense as a rookie last year, but Salazar offers more upside.
Deduno had an encouraging U.S. debut in 2004 and won his first five starts in 2005, then fell prey to inconsistency. Minor shoulder soreness sidelined him for much of May and June, and he lost eight of his final 11 decisions. Upon returning from the disabled list, he developed some bad habits with his mechanics. He started separating his hands too early, throwing off his timing and affecting his command and pitch quality. He got to the point where the only pitch he had confidence in throwing for strikes was his curveball. Deduno did make adjustments and got back on track in the Rockies' Dominican instructional league program. Besides his hard curveball, he also has a plus fastball that sits at 92-94 mph and has good cutting action. He can dominate hitters, averaging 12.4 strikeouts per nine innings over the past two seasons. To remain a starter, Deduno will have to make significant improvement to his changeup. He also needs to stop worrying about being too fine with his pitches and just let his natural stuff work for him. If he doesn't begin 2006 in high Class A, he should get there later in the season.
Koshansky went undrafted after leading Virginia in homers and pitching wins as a junior in 2003, and responded by tearing up the Valley League that summer and winning Atlantic Coast Conference player-of-the-year honors in 2004. Since signing for $40,000 as a sixth-round pick, he has hit 50 homers in 198 pro games, including 38 to rank second in the minors last year. He did much of his damage at Asheville's McCormick Field, where the cozy right-field porch plays to the strengths of a 6-foot-4, 225-pound lefthanded slugger like Koshansky. He hit .355 with 25 homers in 61 games in Asheville, as compared to .227 with 11 homers in 59 road games in the South Atlantic League. There was some thought he was just an older hitter taking advantage of younger pitchers and his ballpark, and even the Rockies were somewhat skeptical. They resisted promoting him until late August, but when they did Koshansky held his own in a short stint in Double-A. He has huge lefthanded power, and though his swing can get long, he can catch up to good fastballs. He does strike out a lot but is willing to take a walk. Koshansky is a good defender at first base, with surprising agility for his size and a plus arm for his position. He is a well-below-average runner, however. He may be a lefty version of Ryan Shealy, and Koshansky could get a chance to further prove himself in Double-A this year.
Spilborghs was a two-time all-Big West Conference selection at UC Santa Barbara. He couldn't match Rockies farm director Bill Geivett's .412 average for the Gauchos in 1985, but Spilborghs hit .375 and set a school record with a 35-game hitting streak as a sophomore in 2001. He didn't hit much in his first three years as a pro and looked more like an organizational player. He became more consistent with his approach in 2005 and took off, batting .340 between Double-A and Triple-A. He even earned a surprise one-day callup to Colorado on July 15 and went 2-for-4 with an RBI against the Reds. Now the Rockies are talking about him being a fourth outfielder in 2006. Spilborghs did a better job last year of recognizing which pitches he can turn on. He's also willing to stay back and drive balls to the opposite field. He's capable at all three spots, and enhances average arm strength with a quick release and impressive accuracy.
The Rockies have been protective of Lo since signing him for $1.4 million out of Taiwan's Kolo Yuan High, also the alma mater of Chin-Hui Tsao. That strategy hasn't paid off, as Lo repeated low Class A last season and yet made little progress. He developed looseness in his shoulder, and his fastball dropped from 94 mph at the end of spring training to 86 by the end of the season. After not allowing him to throw his splitter in his first three years as a pro, Colorado gave it back to him in 2005, but it didn't help much. His slider is still inconsistent, and he uses the splitter for the most part in lieu of a changeup. The one area in which he did make notable progress was command, as he cut his walk rate per nine innings from 4.3 to 2.8. Lo probably needs a third year in Asheville, which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world because he's still just 20.
The first player drafted out of Alcorn State since the Blue Jays selected outfielder Kevin Campbell in the 12th round in 1991, Wimberly made a strong impression with his speed and versatility. His size and explosive speed prompted comparisons to Chone Figgins, whom the Rockies signed as a fourth-rounder in 1997. Wimberly flies down the first-base line in 3.9 seconds form the left side and 4.0 from the right, making him the fastest player in the system. He won two batting titles in 2005, leading NCAA Division I with a .462 average and the Pioneer League with a .381 mark. A natural righthanded hitter, he didn't begin switch-hitting until he got to Alcorn State and made the adjustment quickly. He still needs to work on hitting the ball hard on the ground to best utilize his skills. He focuses on making contact and using the middle of the field, and he stays back on pitches well. Like Figgins, Wimberly could be groomed as a super-utility player. He saw extensive action at third base, second base and shortstop last summer, and also worked out in center field during instructional league. He's still raw defensively and made 22 errors in 67 games, but he has quick hands and an average if erratic arm. He should move up to low Class A this year.
Johnston's sterling relief work helped Missouri to its best season since 1996 and continued after he signed for $72,500 as a ninth-round pick. He tied a Pioneer League record with 18 saves last summer while posting a 1.06 ERA. Johnston operated primarily with one pitch, but it's a nasty one: a power 92-94 mph sinker that's tough to pick up from his low threequarters arm slot. He's a groundball machine who didn't allow a homer and had a 3.8 groundball/flyball ratio in his pro debut. He has a resilient arm that can handle multiple innings or appearances on consecutive days. Johnston backs up his sinker with a slider and changeup, but neither is trustworthy because he struggles to stay on top of them. He'll continue to develop in the minors as a closer, but he'll likely fit in as a middle reliever at the big league level. He'll jump to one of Colorado's Class A affiliates in 2006.
A feel-good story, Speier wasn't recruited out of high school and went undrafted after three years at Radford, where he went 8-14, 5.09. Following his junior season, Speier finally garnered the attention of scouts by setting a Cape Cod League record with 16 saves while not allowing a run all summer. He was inked for $10,000 as a free agent by area scout Jay Matthews, and he joined Jeff Baker and Cory Sullivan as rookies signed by Matthews on Colorado's 2005 Opening Day roster. Speier thrives on deception, stepping across his body and varying his slots from a funky three-quarters slot to a drop-down submarine look. His pure stuff is ordinary, consisting of an 88-90 mph fastball with life, a slider and a changeup. He struggled in the big leagues at the start of last year because he wasn't finishing off his delivery, leaving pitches up in the strike zone. He ironed out that flaw when he returned to the minors in May, though he still battled control issues in September with the Rockies. Like many righties who throw across their body, Speier can be very tough on righthanders but has trouble with lefties. They hit .367 off him in Triple-A and reached base at a .467 clip against him in the majors. Improving his changeup might solve that problem, and he also needs to hone the command of his fastball. He should spend most if not all of 2006 in the majors.
He has yet to spend a day above the Class A level, but Corpas received the Rockies' lone offseason promotion to the 40-man roster. His power fastball and strong finish in 2005 created fears that he could be targeted in the major league Rule 5 draft if left unprotected. Corpas regularly throws 95-97 mph from a low three-quarters slot. He has a tendency to get too low, slinging the ball at times. He creates better movement and sink on his fastball when he stays on top of the pitch. His second pitch, a slider, is more of a hard slurve. Corpas answered concerns about his command last year. He also did a good job of keeping the ball on the ground and in the park. His changeup is not a factor, which leaves Corpas destined for bullpen duty. If he can learn to repeat his arm slot and delivery, he has the potential to dominate in the late innings. He'll move up a level to Double-A.
It would have been easy to slip through the cracks with Jacksonville, Baseball America's 2005 Minor League Team of the Year, but Gonzalez did get noticed after his performance out of the Suns bullpen--so much so that when the Dodgers didn't protect him on their 40-man roster, the Rockies took him in the major league Rule 5 draft. He has to stick on Colorado's big league roster throughout 2006, or else clear waivers and be offered back to Los Angeles for half his $50,000 draft price. An outfielder and a high school teammate of Brewers prospect Prince Fielder in high school, Gonzalez moved full-time to the mound as a pro. He diligently has crafted a three-pitch repertoire, highlighted by a 91-94 mph fastball. Gonzalez has a sturdy, durable frame and a simple delivery with some deception. He relies heavily on his fastball, which he spots well to all four quadrants of the strike zone. His 79-81 mph slider is an average offering that's effective against lefties. He has developed a slightly above-average changeup that has good fade against righties. Gonzalez has some feel for pitching, and when he gets on top of the ball, some life to his stuff. He struggled in his first taste of Triple-A in July, and will get another chance there in 2006. He profiles as a middle reliever or lefty specialist in the big leagues.
The Rockies selected Mattheus (pronounced Matthews) in the 34th round out of high school in 2002, and then again in the 19th round the following year out of Sacramento CC. One of the top draft-and-follows in the spring of 2004, Mattheus gave up a commitment to Arizona State to sign for $700,000. He has yet to live up to that lofty bonus, perhaps because Colorado tried to change his motion. Mattheus had success as an amateur despite separating his hands very early in delivery, which isn't ideal but created some hesitation and deception. The Rockies tried to make his mechanics more fluid, but he was hit hard in low Class A last year. His raw stuff remains intriguing, however. Mattheus relies on a hard sinker-slider combination, and he can top out at 94 mph with a four-seam fastball. His changeup is below average. Colorado is now trying to help him regain his old delivery and may have him repeat low Class A.
Van Kooten first registered on the Rockies' radar through special assistant to the general manager Walt Weiss, who volunteers time at Regis High in the Denver suburb of Aurora. Weiss worked with Van Kooten at Regis, and Colorado took him in the 46th round in 2003 as a draft-and-follow. He signed after one season at Seward County (Kan.) CC, where he was the Jayhawk Conference freshman of the year. Van Kooten is a good athlete who draws comparisons to Rockies shortstops past (Weiss) and present (Clint Barmes). He's also solid at second base and has played some third base as well. He has soft hands and gets excellent reads on balls, though he has had to work on learning to trust his backhand. He also has a little twist in his wrist when he throws but doesn't lose any accuracy. Offensively, Van Kooten profiles as a No. 2 hitter. His priorities are making contact and getting on base, and he's a good bunter. His speed is average. With all the middle-infield talent in the system, Van Kooten's eventual role with the Rockies figures to be as a utilityman. He'll get his first shot at full-season ball this year in Asheville.
The son of former all-star third baseman Gary Gaetti, Joe hit just .270 with 14 home runs as a junior for North Carolina State in 2003. Scouts questioned his bat, but his bloodlines and a solid performance in the Northwoods League the previous summer got him drafted in the 12th round. Gaetti has played himself into prospect status since signing. Much like his father, there's nothing smooth about his approach at the plate or in the field, but he produces. He has a short stroke with power, and he learned to trust his quick hands last year. He also stopped pushing himself quite so hard after burying himself when he struggled in his first two pro seasons. Gaetti will work counts and draw walks. His range and arm are just adequate, so he projects as a left fielder, though he has played some center and right as a pro. Headed for Double-A, he'll have to keep producing to one day earn a shot as an extra outfielder.
Asheville has produced the last two South Atlantic League MVPs. He isn't the top prospect that 2004 winner Ian Stewart is, but Miller chased the SAL triple crown in his first full season. He was helped by Asheville's McCormick Field, batting .366 with 20 homers in 65 home games, but he has legitimate hitting ability. After a dislocated right shoulder limited him in his pro debut, Miller soared in 2005 after refining his two-strike approach. He maintained his aggressiveness but didn't chase as many pitches and started using the whole field. He doesn't walk much, in part because he makes contact so easily. Miller has average speed and a strong arm, but he played mostly left field last year because he needs to improve his reads and routes on flyballs. The Rockies may skip him a level and send him to Double-A this year.

Thank you, The SYC Family
I took over the Office Manager job at SYC in 1991 when my youngest child was in first grade. I expected to stay until he began high school.
Well…he's 31 now.
I so enjoyed the people—my coworkers and getting to know the SYC parents—and the job turned out to be a terrific fit for my skills, for my personality and for the 15 years of my life that entailed a lot of elder-caregiving, that my plan to leave SYC before retirement age very happily flew out the window.
I'm both excited and a little sad to have decided that this will be my last year at SYC. My husband Lee has been retired for 7 years, we're wanting to have a little more time and flexibility for traveling before we require eldercare ourselves!
Holly Adams, who has been working with me for 3 years will be running the office single-handedly next year. But you probably haven't seen the last of me because I'll be volunteering to help her whenever she can stand to have me around!
…Adele Stratton, Office Manager

Why do we get more sentimental as we age? Is it the feeling (and reality) that our time is growing limited? Is it a yearning for days gone by? Or is it a combination of these factors?
I am joyful beyond measure for the time we get to spend with our family. It is so rare now to have them all together at the same time, and usually not all to ourselves. With friends in their lives, we are sharing our boys with other people. I am happy about the kinds of people they choose to be in their lives, and enjoy the young adults sitting around the dinner table having mature conversations. I love the amazing meals my son and his friend turn out for us to enjoy. I love the physical closeness phone calls can't provide.
Then why am I also sad?
It's because I know this time is limited.
It's because they will be wretched from us once again – each parting as difficult as the first.
It's because I do not know when we will next see each other.
It's because we will be moving away from where they grew up, and when they go "home" maybe it won't be where we are moving to.
It's because all parents carry guilt about what they didn't do even though the outcome was good and there is no logical reason to feel that way.
It's just because sometimes.
So, now I will put it aside and go back to enjoying the time I DO have with my sons and their friends. They need help in the kitchen!

My name is Ashley Anderson and I'm the sole owner and artisan behind Black Sheep Jewelry. I started making jewelry as a hobby, to have something quiet to do by myself. When I started, I had no idea it would become a passion. I pour myself into every piece of jewelry and I hope that shows through my art. Now, fun facts?!
I'm an empath, which is a large part of why I'm so drawn to crystals. I'm never more at peace than I am when it's just some crystals, their amazing energy, and me. Jewelry making has been a great therapy for me.
I love cereal! Fruity Pebbles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, anything with marshmallows! Pretty much any cereal a 5-year-old would be eating is probably in my cabinet.
My house is full of critters! That includes kids, two cats, and a piggy named Gladys! My dream home would be a secluded farm, somewhere my kids could run wild, I could grow my own food, ride horses, and have animals everywhere. (That's pretty much how I grew up.) Someday, right?
I'm an art lover, whether it be painting, pottery, tattoos, etc. I appreciate good art. I'm a tattoo collector, proudly wearing permanent artwork from 12 amazingly talented artists, so far.
I'm neurotic enough that I had to have just one more to make it five.

The latest news that we heard about Xiaomi is that there is a new handset in the making. This device is manufactured to go up against Meizu's latest released product, MX4. The device is rumoured to be running on the same MT6595 SoC, the same chip found in MX4. The only difference is that the Xiaomi handset comes with larger memory size of 3GB of RAM, a larger size of 5.5-inch screen. Many speculated that this new Xiaomi most probably be the next Redmi Note Model.
Recently, there is also another leaks which comes as the picture of the back panel of the supposedly Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 but stating a different hardware specification. Therefore there might be two possibilities of this, either one of the rumors is wrong or there are two phones that are going to be released.
The latest update of the rumors is that the Redmi Note 2 will come with 5.5-inch screen size, 64-bit Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC, 2 GB of RAM memory and 13 MP rear camera. The back panel will be measured at 6.26" x 3.23". Looking at this size, Redmi Note 2 most probably will have the same size as iPhone 6 Plus , which is currently in the market.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 is rumoured to be selling starting from $244.
