What are the Qualifications of Othello as a Hero?
According to Professor Emmanuel Drakakis, Othello is one of Shakespeare's most unusual tragic heroes, a combination of opposites in that he is a black man with a perfect soul. In this way, the theme of appearance versus reality is stressed from the very beginning. So long as his perfect soul rules his actions, he is the noble Moor. But once he becomes a victim of his passion and then this relationship is reversed and he seems to be as black in his soul as in his appearance. Though he is often referred to as black and thick-lipped, actually he is not black but only dark. It would be inappropriate to make Desdemona falling in love with an ugly hero, a Negro. In fact, he is a dark chief of Morocco with a number of noble qualities of head and heart.
A. C. Bradley says that Othello is by far the most romantic figure among Shakespeare's heroes. He has come from a remote, wonderland, the distant, unknown Morocco. He has always lived a life of adventure and romance. He has traveled to distant lands and strange are the tales of his travels which he relates. Born in a royal family, he has experienced the ups and downs of life. Ones he was sold as a slave and it was with the difficulty that he could save himself and secure his release. In short, Shakespeare has done everything possible to cast him a halo of romance.
His life has been romantic and he also possesses the imaginations of the most sensitive romantic poet. His speeches reveal him to be a born poet. Even his casual phrases are full of poetic qualities. For example, here is the impassioned expression of his love for Desdemona:
"O my soul's joy
If after every tempest come such calms
May the winds blow till they have wakened death."
A proper analysis of the play would show that Othello's poetic imagination is freely displayed throughout the play. Othello is a born soldier and an able General indispensable for the defense of Venice. Since boyhood, he has seen many battles and passed through many adventures. The result is that he is used to the hardships of military life so, he is well-known for his ability as a General. Even his bitterest enemy, Iago, admits his military ability:
"Another of his fathom they have none
To lead their business."
Because Othello has passed all his life in the field of war, he has an innocence and simplicity like that of a child. He has no knowledge of wickedness that exists in human nature. He thinks men honest who appear to be so. Iago understands his true nature and so remarks:
"The moor is of a free and open nature
That thinks men honest but seem to be so,
And will as tenderly be led by the nose
As asses are."
It is because of his open frank nature that he is so easily deceived by Iago and becomes a victim of his intrigue. He is extremely credulous, simple, frank and honest. He acts quickly and rashly and his combination with simplicity leads to his ruin.
Othello loves Desdemona intensely and passionately but he fails to understand her true nature. As he himself tells us, he loves her but he is not very wise in his love. Desdemona is his very soul and his very life. He cannot live without her,
"Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul
But I do love thee! And when I love thee not,
Chaos is come again."
He loves her with all the warmth of his passionate nature and the very thought of being rejected by her drives him mad. In killing Desdemona he kills himself. He does not murder her but sacrifices her to the cause of chastity and justice. Actually, Othello is not jealous by nature but he is made jealous. He is a victim of the situation who suffers from conflicts and acts rashly. These viewpoints make him a tragic hero and the tragic atmospheres arouse our pity and fear.
In conclusion, we may say that Othello is the hero who fulfills all the conditions and requirements of Shakespearean tragic hero.

Greetings in Jesus Name,
We are doing well and the Lord is keeping us even though this country is unstable. We are very grateful of your support that has kept us in ministry.
Here is what has transpired to this point. Our ministry is just what the Lord prescribed it to be. Each time we look back through circumstances, we discovered that Romans 8: 28 becomes more relevant each time we continue in life and ministry. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.
This past term I was teaching two classes and my wife was teaching two classes as well. I taught Synthesis and have been enjoying this class ever since I took it. The Lord has been showing us many hidden truths from His Word and a lot has changed in my view of who God is. My understanding has been enriched. I remember one day I was teaching and going through the story of Joseph. As we read through in the perspective of forgiveness, everyone was crying and the atmosphere was so touchy. It was not just a class, but the Lord was dealing with us on several issues that affect our lives. From that day on, a lot changed in the lives of the students. We, too, had to deal with issues that God was pointing out to us. I realized that my classes were not just classes, but God was there. I taught also Bibliology and this was good, too. My wife, Takemore, was also teaching two classes and she, too, had good moments in that the classes were more of "this is what God is doing and what God is saying." We are very grateful to invest into the lives of our students. I have said that whoever attends our lessons can never remain the same since we are not teaching them so that they develop big heads, but that they are changed. The Word we read and study for us means that we are to be changed first before we pass it on to the students.
MSSM Ministry (Motorcycle Sunday School Mission)
We are still working with them as we monitor the circuit riders. We realized that the enemy had tried all that he could to be of discouragement by using whatever tactic. But we are not ignorant of His devices, so the Lord has been giving us ways of attacking each situation with wisdom. The favor of the Lord keeps us going.
This coming term is going to be filled with fireworks and we are looking forward for the Lord to do us good. The rough side was the time when our own children could not go to school since there is a big river in between us and the school. It kept on flooding and flooding for some days, but no one drowned. We wondered how that would end as around us there were some stories of the homes giving in and falling. This was getting to be scary since the rains kept on pounding. Above all it stopped and it is getting colder—I will not be surprised to see snow, even though we do not know what it is! We had an earthquake that was mild, but shaking everything. We got scared because only my wife Takemore had experienced one before.
Above all we thank God for his faithfulness and for keeping us going on. We have been encouraged to continue on. The ministry is growing and the demand for MSSM grows so that we cannot even meet everyone who wants to be in a Sunday school. This is great!
Thank you so much for your support. We value and appreciate you so much. This encourages us to be the best we can and we have learnt that there is nothing fulfilling apart from serving God. This is the best thing that we have done in our lives. Our sons love the Lord so much. The first one, Joel, is doing Form 2 and Joshua is in Grade 5 and David J is in Grade 0 ECDA. Joel is taller than me now!
Yours in His Service
Nkosilathi, Takemore, Joel, Joshua and David J

Astro-LOA, astrology, Good Vibe Astrology, Jeannette Maw, Kim Falconer, law of attraction, learn astrology kim Falconer, moring star, superior conjunction, Uranus Venus Sun conjunction, Venus, Venus evening star
After rising as the morning star all of 2012, Venus has crossed the Sun by 'superior conjunction', moving into the position of the evening star.
It's a big event, symbolically, and added to that is the presence of Uranus, the god of change. What we are seeing is a whole new vibration when it comes to personal, one-to-one relationships, creative expression (our relationship to our Muse), core values and finances $$. Yes, they all go together, money, self-worth and love!
Venus refines the solar energy, putting awareness on beauty, harmony, love and creative, passionate expression. In the sign of Aries, the spirit is fiery, adventurous and 'take action' oriented. At to that the radical, unpredictable and 'rug out from under the feet' nature of Uranus and we have a time of surprise, fresh insights, change (with urgency!) and general rebellion against anything that rings of 'stuck or stagnated'.
Astro-LOA tip of the week includes opening the floodgates to new thoughts and exploring NEW core values. Get current with yourself! It's like something is waiting to be born and we have to 'let go' of old thoughts and literally 'step up' to the new wave. It may feel right to purge, allow for 'reckless' and unconventional thoughts to air, honor inspired action and find NEW ways to activate the vibration YOU want to experience. Here are 17 easy tips by Jeannette Maw, to support the awakening.
Welcome Venus as the evening star, and welcome the change in you! Let us know what this stirs up for you!

It's finally been confirmed.
The new Xbox 360 Elite will sell for $479.99. Consumers who already own the $399.99 20-gigabyte model will be able to buy a snap-on 120-gigabyte hard drive for $179.99. HDMI output is also confirmed.
Full press release after the jump.
479 is a good deal.
Perhaps, but $179.99 for the 120 GB HDD isn't.
Well glad microsoft finally has a real console mabe ill pick up this one...
Makes the white console officially xbox 2.5!!!
" Makes the white console officially xbox 2.5!!! "
Wouldn't this be a compliment??? You moron.
I hope tomorrow isn't Halo 3 news. *Yawn* I'd rather have a new exclusive game. We already know Halo 3 is coming.
It's nice that it comes with an HDMI cable (as well as component and composite). Sony, take note.
PS3 had HDMI from Day one; I think Microsoft took pretty good note of that. Too bad it not only costs 180 dollars for the bigger hard drive, but the HDMI isn't even an upgrade option. And all of this within a year of launch. Way to win consumers' trust.
I said HDMI CABLE which is something the PS3 does NOT come with.
looking good, if only i had a tv that would support hdmi, i would pick one of these up for sure, but i dont, ill have to wait a bit. still looking cool though
I wonder if the RING OF DEATH is gona be RED in thisone??
hey thats a nice deal i need that hdmi will pick one up for sure.
that would be very nice
i dont think so, but that would have been nice. i just read the box in the pictures, hard to read, but i couldnt see a recharge kit.
What the F*** am I to do with this daum white console, and thats what I been waiting all night for? F-microsoft.... They should up grade my white and charge me the difference. Now thats how you do business
is you play your games on it, and not whine about stupid things
Yu know it is the same 360. The only difference is the larger HDD & HDMI. There nothin so diffent there that you will miss out if you do not upgrade.
what they should do is let me return my 20 gig HD and charge me 60 dollars or so for the 120, because nearly 200 is a major rip off.
Congrats on screwing over 7 million 360 owners, MS!
How?...the answer is...
with another RING OF DEATH!
Honesly I like the specs, but I will wait until they make it on white. I like white instead of black.
"Congrats on screwing over 7 million 360 owners, MS! " Not for nothing but, I'm sure that the next 40-50 Million consoles owners that may buy the console will definelly apreciated. I was going to buy myself a PS3, instead I will buy this SKU (when is available in white) and give the one I own to my brother. He is does not even know what HDMI is for nor have an HDTV.
HDMI it will have? I would hope that it's HDMI version 1.3. I like those black controllers. At least MS is including an HDMI cable and I believe they said the play and charge kits will be sold separately.
but if you buy the whole thing alone it's a good price, also a very evil idea would be, to replace the shell of your 20gb hdd with the 120 hdd and then return it saying that it was defective lol yes i know you would go to hell, but think of the capacity, lol
that they did not add an HD-DVD drive to it. I mean they could of, but I'm sure there are good reasons why. With IP-Netflix-TV coming soon its a good choice to upgrade to the 120GB drive, but a bit too much for that sire.
I do like the black box which I knew would eventually come. For $79 more dollars you get HDMI and 120GB drive. HD-DVD is not important right now so it was not added.(I'm sure they will support the format that wins).
this is great news.. gonna reserve it tomorrow. WOW BIG MAC IS THE ONLY TROLL IN HERE. I THOUGHT DJ WOULD BE ALL OVER THIS
does anyone else think this just sucks? sure, it's a great deal if you don't already own one, but what about everyone that already owns a 360. they already have 7mil users and now decide to upgrade and charge us another 480? i believe previous users should get an extreme discount microsofts mistake of not adding this in the first place. i'll be avoiding this for sure. and the $180 hdd, come on. that's 580 total, and still not as good as the elite.
p.s. couldn't they have added wireless internet. ofcourse not that's rediculous. +$100...
As a current X360 owner im disappointed. At $179.99+tax for the 120GB HDD this could have been a great opportunity to drop the price of the current 20GB HDD ($99.99+tax). So basically its going to be another $200 dollars to upgrade my X360's hard drive. TOTAL RIP OFF. This is in no way shape or form a good deal for current owners who cant look for other alternatives to get more hard drive space.
Now I am a big fan of xbox but I feel really screwed. Not for nothing I have never liked the other console but loved the xbox to the 360. I have two 360's and two 1080p tvs that these xboxes can't take advantage of. where does that leave the customer that wanted these features all along? will there be some type of cable that will come out for these boxes or has MS lied about it being very upgradeable. Now I can go out and buy this new box if I wanted to but I will definitely feel like I am getting the shaft from MS.
If these premiums already out are not upgradeable you can bet a lot of ppl will be pissed at MS. If this was about choice, MS from the get go could have had two out . One four 299w 20g hd and the 479 version about to come out. They would have made a killing. PPl will not for get this and will be very leary of MS the next time around. I am not a person to throw money away just because I have it. I feel like I have been played.
LMAO, I think all 7 million of you officially just got OWNED by Bill Gates!
Too funny, never been happier.. :)
See you online! :)
I have a PS3 and a 360, but I wish I had the Elite. There is no way Im upgrading the hard drive because its a rip off. For that amount of media I rather upgrade PS3s HDD, which would end up being cheaper.
You should see the reaction though. Many early adopters feel screwed, and rightly so. I feel exactly like them. If you are a current Xbox 360 owner, yet you want the HDMI and the storage, just buy a PS3. For 20 bucks extra, you get a blu=ray player and you can put any HDD size you want. Besides, youll be able to enjoy the PS3 exclusives too, and youll save yourself being ripped off in this way, and even more by avoiding trading your current 360.
If you want the Elite version yet you have a 360 already, you have not business in RE-BUYING a 360. You-re better off with a PS3, no need to have two 360s. If you want the ELITE, you probably have an HDTV and want to exploit it as much as you can. So, for 20 bucks, you get a Blu=ray player. OK, 40 bucks if you include the HDMI cable.
In my case, I have the WiFi adaptor for 360 because I need it, so the 60 Gig PS3 plus 20 dollar HDMI cable became my ideal choice.
Also, adding another hard drive shouldn-t be seen as expensive, since you can use the old hard drive ANYWHERE, unlike 360s hdd.
for 20 more you can get blu-ray and UPGRADE to any size drive you want. So I can get the 20 gig model then buy the hdmi cable then get the upgraded 120 gig drive. Wow, that's starting to sound even more expensive, and that isn't even the expensive ps3 model.
cute someone disagrees with facts....good job. Ha!
Why would I get a ps3? I would rather have a Premium and an Elite 360. Actually I have 2 360's now, and a 3rd one with one more hdtv would be absolutely great for Forza. You may not know this, but I can hook all the 360's together and have one killer racing co(kpit view. Now that I think about it, that's a great idea! Thanks for the help in my decision!!! You've been a great inspiration!!!....wow. you can't put the word co(kpit
I dunno about you, but I see that as a pretty good deal. Considering if you were going to buy the PS3 60GB, $635.98 US (tax included), you'd be saving about $84.17, with the Elite and the HD-DVD Drive that, together bring the price to.. I don't believe it $720.15 US (tax inculded).
LOL, 720.. hehe I find that funny. XBOX360 = 720.. lol thats great.
Anyway, I do see a good deal in buying a PS3. Why miss out on other great games that are to come?
@ Jolly, well I would have to tell you that, one game (Forza).. or another library of games (PS3) hmm... couldn't tell you. Quit being a fanboy about it and give it up already. I'm giving you a logical reason to buy a PS3... being able to play Forza with another screen, is a fanboyish excuse not to get a PS3. Who wouldn't want a whole other library of games to play?
@ bootsielon, I forgot about the wifi.. lol so technically it's $826.13 US (tax included)+XBOXLive which is lets say only $52.98 US (tax included) for one year to get the Elite with all the features of the PS3. Which in a grand total comes to $879.11 US (tax included), without adding the extra years..
Now tell me how $635.98 is not a good deal compared to $879.11..(assuming you wanted to have it all)
lol, I could go on forever about this.. I'm going to stop here though.
Elite has no WiFi, so you-d need another 100 bucks.
100 WiFi
200 HD DVD, infrared controller included
60 Gig PS3 600
HDMI Cable 20
Blue tooth Controller 20
What can you do with the extra 140? Get a 200 HDD.
If you don-t need the WiFi, you simply subtract 100 to both AND you still get the same.
By the way, this doesnt include LIVE fees, which could end up being 250 for the consoles life span, when you have a HOME for free. Those 250 bucks could be used, coupled with the former 140 bucks, and get you a 500 HDD. Or, if you are not interested in storage, but you still want HD stuff, and HDMI, you get the pocket change, or tons of games.
PS3 is a pretty neat deal for HD enthusiasts and hardcore gamers, and it-s the ideal platform for developers (HDD out of the box, Blu=ray built in, revolutionary CPU)
So, you rather have repeated consoles than two different consoles? Im smelling fanboy. Nothing you said are facts, just opinion, so yeah, I disagree with it.
Why not get the Elite AND a PS3 with those two 360s you have anyway? After all, you-re planning on spending the cash. You should hurry before they turn into toasters ;) That way your warranty is renewed too, and you get a more reliable 65nm processor.
actually I didn't put an opinion at all. I said true numbers and you didn't like them (I'm sorry). I guess I am a fanboy. I love racing games. I love the co(kpit view in PGR3. I can't wait for the 3 screen co(kpit in Forza 2. What racing game is there for the ps3? why are trying to cram a ps3 down my throat? I like 360 games, sorry that offends you. I don't enjoy final fantasy, gthd is a tech demo. I don't think driving one car around a track is fun. I don't like playing bumper car..on a wall. I admit it I am a fanboy...Now can you admit it?
I guess you didn't like my answer, it's ok.. I understand.
See here is the thing. No games=no sell. It's really as simple as that. There aren't any games that are even close to compelling for me. I don't know which games would be compelling for anyone on the ps3. THat's me though. As for money I see that $480<$600. Where is your math taking me? Even after I get the 60 gig ps3 I have to buy a hdmi cable and (if I wanted to match the 360) a 120 gig hd. Now, you tell me which is cheaper.
*Last edit for the night* Man, that was fun. This bubble sitsuation is crazy. I'm glad for all you sony people that like your console. That's great for you. I just don't get why you are all in here freaking out about this price, for the 360. Oh well, I'll leave it at that. *GOODNIGHT KIDS*
just going to comment here... @ jolly, sorry you can't comment back.. lol
Anyway, no one is trying to shove a PS3 down your throat. I'm just trying to tell you, that I BELIEVE, you'd get a better deal out of a PS3 than you would a 3RD XBOX.
I understand that you like and prefer XBOX, but I enjoy a variety. To me, getting the PS3 would be the benefit. (My bro has 360, I have PS3.. I get to play the whole spectrum.. excluding the Wii of course)
To you, another 360 may be the best case. To each his own. I was just stating above, the advantages, but the only disadvantage is money issues. If you have the money, then go for it, have at your 3 screen forza gaming.
I'm all for gaming in general, I don't really care one way or another. Yet, when money is involved I look for an efficient route to take.
I was just offereing my opinion.
If you don't like it, thats fine, I respect that. If you do like it, thats also fine, I still respect that.
Edit: @ jolly
With all due respect, if I add wifi and a Hd-Dvd drive to the cost of the Elite and, $50 for online play.. it would go to about $876 (tax included) for the Elite to be fully optimised (saying that 120Gig Hard Drive is the limit w/ wifi & next gen dvd player + online play) If I took a HDMI cord about $33, and another hard drive(120GB) for about $157, then you would come to about $827 (tax included for PS3).
(You could probably find a HDMI cord and 120Gb drive for PS3 cheaper, but this is a quick estimate..)
Saying that both sytems have online capability for atleast a year, both have next gen dvd players, wifi capabilities and, a 120GB hard drive, not to mention the HDMI cord for PS3.. the PS3 still comes as the cheaper route.
$827 < $879
(either way we haven't even bought games yet, which is where you would save money getting the Elite, but the stand-alone costs for fully optimising is what is shown above)
But as I mentioned, it may be in your best intrest to have the Elite. I'm not pushing you towards the PS3, it's just that I'm stating it would be cheaper when fully optimized.
All in all I respect your view and I understand what you mean.
It's good to be a gamer, no matter what system(s) you have.
(Just to mention Jolly, I didn't see your last edit before I posted the edit above, lol but this sure is a crazy situation.. lol. Need more bubbles..)
You get backwards compatibility, free online, folding, and home. It-s a good deal if you wanted those features and you are already a 360 owner; especially if you never had a PS2 or PS1.
Do you guys really understand why the HDDs cost so much??????
It's because they want consumers to pay for the premium instead of the core. It makes the premium seem like much more of deal with the stand alone pieces are astronomical. The same thing with the Elite, if you an uber tech guy and NEED the 120gb your best bet by far is to buy the Elite. NOT THE 120GB individually.
That's simple business strategies. People who want to complain, but what you don't get is that your really not important when MS is aiming at 50 million consumers, 1 million pro gamers isn't too important. So if you WANT the HDMI or 120gb you'll have to buy an elite. The motive behind this is to get more units out into the public.
Notice how 400 premium + 120gb at 180 = 580
They're just forcing you to buy up. I don't need the elite or the HDD so I'm sittin pretty with 1080p on my CRT. If your going to buy the 120gb HDD separate you are a SUCKER. Just sell your 360 to a friend or brother and buy the new one. You'll be way more happy with that. Also the more used 360's out in ebay and on the market means cheaper prices and a bigger installed base. More will buy at lower prices. Trickle down effect.
You need to diversify your bonds...(chappelles show)
400+180=580. that is not the same number. YOu actually get the 120 gb drive for 100 off. You also get the hdmi cable (roughly $50). In all you actually save $150.
"Notice how 400 premium + 120gb at 180 = 480 (an elite)"
actually it'd be $580.. much more than an elite plus no hdmi.. so yeah you're right though
haha, yah guess so. But doesn't disprove my point, it actually reinforces it a lot more.
thanks for the call out
but a little customer loyalty never hurt a company either... i realize that MS is a business but it seems kinda underhanded. They could have at least released all three consoles at once and gave the first consumers choice. Coming out with this console a year and some change later is pretty... well microsoft-ish
All they are doing is replacing the $100 HDD to the 179 HDD. 300+179=479. Same console with more to offer, only for the ones that absolutely need HDMI/120Gig and some free goodies.
I personally think the (present day) 360 owners would be getting ripped off. Unless of course the have the money to dish out for an Elite, but none-the-less making consumers pay approx. $190.78 US (tax included) for the hard drive add-on is a rip off. Considering that the people that buy the Elite get HDMI support (w/ the cord) and the 120GB Hard drive for only approx. $84.80 US (tax included) extra.
My Opinion, I'd try to sell the Xbox 360 premium try to get $300 out of it, and then use the $200 you would have spend on the 120GB hard drive, to get an Elite. It's about $510 if you add tax.
I'm not sure how much a person could get out of a Premium 360, but I'd definitely try to get something out of it, because anyone who purchases the 120GB is being ripped off.
I feel sorry for the already existing 360 owners. I bought my PS3 and am extremely happy with my purchase. I was waiting for MS to come out with this ELITE version so they could finally join the HD revolution... about time. Now I am going to have two black consoles in my cabinet. Sorry for the previous 360 owners that wanted the best version and now have to spend 879 dollars to get it, that is really smart marketing on MS part... no it really is.
You must be misinformed. The hdmi cable has the same output as the component cables. I can still play games in 1080P. I also have the vga cables, for the 1080P movies. I don't know what you think you are getting better in the ps3, I know I have been getting HD for some time now and i love it!
Maybe sony fans don't understand why they want you to go hdmi. hdmi is to protect against pirating movies. It doesn't do anything better than DVI (for video), sound is a different story. Sony loses millions a year by video pirating, that's why it's so important to them. I'm glad you are all worried about pirating also!
So you have a PS3? Are there any games out for that system yet? Ohh yeah I am sorry I forgot how awesome Motorstorm is. SIDE NOTE: I hate you BILL GATES!!! 180 dollars? Do you need another island or something?
You are correct, HDMI is only for copyright protection, there is no quality difference from component cables. But using digital HDMI cable is the only way that movie companies can protect their movies from being pirated.
My digital cable box has HDMI and i had to replace it with a component cable because the picture was actually worse then with the component cable on channels such as HBO.
This can't be good news to the folks over at Sony. That black design just made the Xbox360 even more sexier than before, not to mention that the hard dirve is twice that of the PS3. It has HDMI and the cables are included and yet it still falls way under the price of the PS3, both the 20 and 60 gigabit PS3 model. Ouch. Microsoft you bully :). You guys are always trying to impress the consumer and give us what we really want. Thank you for changing the game.
Feel bad for you all, your once elite console is now the cheapo version... Better hope your downloads transfer..
For up the doe this will be a yearly thing. Live fee not included...
Enjoy it! Im going to go play my Ps3 and laugh.... A LOT!
Oh my bad this is real....so much for that theory. Way to go MS the add-on king!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the black a whole lot more than the white, but this expensive model just justifies the PS3's price even more. I know the whole argument has been about the PS3 being so expensive, but now Microsoft has practically duplicated that pricetag. Until the price falls and they start phasing out the other SKU's than I think this will only appeal to the most tech-savvy gamers.
i didn't even think of that. that's a good prediction..
...Jolly is absolutely correct that HDMI is not, in 99% of cases, THAT much of an upgrade for video. Also, those of you that are pissed about the upgrade cost of the 120GB HDD, why not spend a relatively meager $100-$170 for a 200-300GB external hard drive connected by USB? In addition to the cost savings you would also be gaining double the capacity. Is there something that the MS HDD drive can do that an external cannot (other than attach nice and snug to the console, rather than have a single small cord connecting, of course)? {NOTE: this is a genuine question, not one of the ever popular rhetorical variety!}
WOW the new xbox has more things SOOOO I NEEED IT AND THUS I NEED TO BUY IT AGAIN?"? WOW LOL NO one NEEDS anything. IF it was like that then ask the millions of car buyers whose cars get upgrades every 2-3 years. You guys sound like this.. I bough a 2003 (any car you want). But In 2005 they started to have standard xm or sirius, + better lights in the back + 15 more HP + a better spoiler and better suspension. Since now I feel CHEATED and I Must rebuy a New Car. Call me crazy but thats exactly how you guys sound. MS is looking to get New sales. Look at how camry and accords change things every 2 years.
This is a business not a me love you love type of thing. Just like Capcom had to pu DMC4 multiplatform. In the business world there aint no love just money.
Jolly1, you're right about the resolutions being the same and the reason for hdmi exising (content protection) however, its a fact, that signals which are converted from digital, to analog, then back to digital take a hit in image quality. It's ideal to get as few of those conversions as possible, and an hdmi cable keeps it purely digital the whole time. That means that ultimately in theory the possibility for a better image quality is there, now whether or not it is or not I couldn't say. Furthermore, there is quite a difference between native and upscaled resolutions. Anything running out your component out on your x360 is upscaled to 1080p, its not native. This not so with the ps3. Again, some would say they see not difference but the potential is there.
This elite looks like a great xbox, I'm just a little bummed that it didn't come out this way to begin with. I also think it's dumb of microsoft to do anything that doesn't further exploit their biggest advantage over the ps3 - price. This new elite should go for what the premium currently goes for, and the core should go away period leaving the old premium at 300 bucks. Microsoft can afford the loss and these things would sell rather quickly at that price point. Anything that forces the reduction in price means we all win. I say screw arguing about who has a better what and we all start being pissed about having to shell out so much dough for stupid video games. Great prediction sf49er, I hope you are right!
I can run virtua tennis at 1080P (no upscaling) when you convert, you only convert from digital to analog once. now.....if you go straight to your tv you have no conversion (in the ps3), so yes that is one less conversion, I totally agree. If you can tell the difference then that is great for you, I wish I could. I have tried!!!! Trust me. I just don't get why everyone is so tanked on this. So many people are just complaining to complain I guess.
*EDIT* To whengeeksgobad, You are almost correct. What the article says is that anygame you play can upscale to 1080p. The thing is virtua tennis is native 1080p (no upscaling required. See that's the good thing. THe 360 can do any format. Upscaled Downscaled...or even native. Virtua tennis is just the first native 1080p forthe 360. It's okay that you didn't know that. I forgive you.
*edit* *edit* I'm all out of bubble's, if anyone wants to give me any I would be glad to have more of this conversation.
*edit* *edit* *edit* It's cool man, I am not here to flame, or anything. I just like giving out facts. Some people don't like them and that's ok. I give as much info as I can, without trying to be a jerk. I love information, so I like helping people out with questions.
before tax of course:
core+120gig+hd-dvd+recharge kit+wifi=$800 dollars(no hdmi)
premium+120gig+hd-dvd+wifi+re charge kit=$900 dollars(no hdmi)
elite+hd-dvd+wifi+recharge kit=$800 dollars
and let's say you can get $150 for your 360 trade in.that will at least bring it down closer to that other system.wait,looky here.....
and then the ps3:
core+wifi=$530 dollars *estimate(switchable hard drive,web browser,free online,built in bluray player,more movie studio support,,better BC for old games,already black,motion control,rechargeable controller)
premium=$600 dollars(switchable hard drive,web browser,free online,card readers,built in bluray player,more movie studio support,better BC for old games,already black,motion control,rechargeable controller,wifi)
i mean the elite sounds cheap,but they must be slowly abandoning hd-dvd in favor of downloads and e distribution.can it be that microsoft will abandon the hd-dvd just like the xbox 1?leaving them out to dry?
will hardcore gamers snap up this latest creation and give microsoft more of their money and it still not equal the ps3's features and price for core or premium?
will they buy a system that adds feature and makes you pay more,when sony added feature to the ps2 and shrunk it and made it cost the same.same with nintendo with the ds lite costing the same as the original ds but had better lcd screens and was lighter?
what is a hardcore fanboy to do?show that sony had a future proof system by buying this new one or stay with the original and get left out in the cold with a "now system" that's not future proof?
decisions, decisions, decisions.
they had better drop the price of core and premium 360s tomorrow night
well, looks like you nailed microsoft on that one
But of course if they did an all in one, force a format, kill their market share move like Sony perhaps they wouldn't call it diverse capitalism.
Tell me how many families can afford a 600 dollar console, or even a 400 dollar one? FOR YOU AND A FEW SELECT OTHERS IN YOUR SMALL DEMOGRAPHIC, the PS3 fits like a glove. Or for some of you, you've had to force it on to fit because you like Sony's exclusives. Either way, lobbing in every peice of hardware isn't going to win the war. How many people can you go up to "in public" and convince them to buy a console at 400 or more. How many even have HDTVs?? Sony jumped the gun technologically and by the time the PS3 is semi-affordable. The next 360 will already be out and smother the graphics and multimedia.
So for you and your band of techies, the PS3 is an incredible deal. I'm happy you've found a great console that fits you, as for the rest of the market they'll decide by the price tag.
Like you know, if you don't want wifi and Blueray you don't have to pay for it.
Xbox360 premium = 400
Xbox360 Elite = 475
Xbox360 core = 300
Want a HD-DVD player? No thanks, i can download my movies.
Want a blue-ray player? For what i don't even have a HD TV. Ohh well, you already paid for it.
A 20 gig 360 + 120gig HDD = $580
60 gigs + wi-fi + memory card reader + Blu-ray player + HDMI port + countless Sonyfan(boys) smiling =priceless *$600* and worth everypenny
Dont forget online gaming 4 freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Look it up, anything running on 1080p component out on the 360 is upscaled, by that ANA chip they announced as their whole "secret weapon" deal near the launch of ps3. It was activated via a firmware upgrade around the same time. Here's a link:
there should be quite a few other links supporting this info as well. To be clear, upscaling is not a limitation of the software, thats resolution. Scaling or upscaling is a limitation or function (dependant upon how you view it) of the hardware.
They will drop both the premium and core versions by 100 bucks and soon... but 479 is too much for what they are offering.
*edit* Jolly I stand corrected. Ty for the mature conversation :)

The Singaporean police confirmed on Monday that a teenage video blogger was arrested a day earlier for an obscenity-laced tirade posted on YouTube that celebrated the death of Lee Kuan Yew, the country's founding father, and disparaged Christians.
The blogger, Amos Yee, is due in court on Tuesday and could face three years in prison on charges of violating laws against offending the feelings of a religious group, harassment and sharing obscene material, Channel NewsAsia Singapore reported.
The charges are said to relate to both his 8½-minute YouTube monologue, "Lee Kuan Yew Is Finally Dead!," and an obscene image briefly posted on his WordPress blog and Facebook page.
The video, which was reportedly viewed hundreds of thousands of times before it was removed from the blogger's channel, was one of more than a dozen comedic riffs he uploaded in recent months on subjects including Singapore's legal ban on homosexuality, "The Hunger Games," Valentine's Day, "Boyhood" and the decision to drop out of school "to pursue my 'career' as a 17-year-old boy ranting in front of a video camera."
Copies of the complete monologue that prompted his arrest remain on YouTube, but excerpts give a sense of the young man's blunt dissent from the cult of personality that grew up around Mr. Lee, and Mr. Yee's parallel indictment of Jesus as "power-hungry and malicious."
At the start of the monologue, Mr. Yee claims that "Lee Kuan Yew was a horrible person," but everyone else in Singapore "is afraid that if they say something like that, they might get into trouble — which, give Lee Kuan Yew credit, that was primarily the impact of his 'legacy.' " Mr. Yee says he is not afraid and dares Lee Hsien Loong — Singapore's prime minister and Mr. Lee's eldest son, who led the city-state in a week of national mourning after his father's death on March 23 — "to sue me."
Chia Boon Teck, a Singaporean lawyer who reportedly filed a complaint against Mr. Yee with the authorities, wrote last week in a letter to the editor of the local Straits Times saying, "There is a limit to freedom of expression."
The detention of the young dissident earned him some sympathy from advocates of free speech, but the arrest was cheered on social networks by more patriotic Singaporeans, including a fellow video blogger, Julian Tay, who accused Mr. Yee of being "a hater."

Probably you know that XTRF's headquarters is based in Cracow, Poland.
I am very proud of my city. By the 11th century, Cracow became the main centre of state power in Poland. In the period between 1320-1734, all kings and queens were crowned in Cracow.
At present, Cracow is a very popular tourist destination. On Wikipedia you can find that "In 1978, UNESCO approved the first ever sites for its new World Heritage List, including the entire Old Town, in inscribing Kraków's Historic Centre. Kraków is cited as one of Europe's most beautiful cities, as well as one of the most unique destinations in the world, its extensive cultural heritage across the epochs of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture includes the Wawel Cathedral and the Royal Castle on the banks of Vistula river, the St. Mary's Basilica, Saints Peter and Paul Church and the largest medieval market square in Europe, the Rynek Główny".
Those XTRF users who participated in translation & localization events held in Cracow (eg. ELIA Networking Days, XTRF Inspiration Days) had a chance to appreciate the beauty of this city.
Wawel Royal Castle on the banks of Vistula river.
The largest medieval market square in Europe, the Rynek Główny.
It was about 6 km to the south of Rynek Główny, during Christmas 2004, when three founders of XTRF met for the first time to discuss the preliminary idea to create a new management system for a quickly-growing translation company owned by two of them, while the third one was a capable computer scientist who'd graduated from the AGH University of Science and Technology. In a few months, by the Spring of 2005, the core of the management system had been developed and the first tests were launched.
Jurek Nedoma is also co-founder of the professional TMS software development firm XTRF Management System.

What is CBD?
Short for cannabidiol, CBD is the second most abundant cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. When introduced into the body, these cannabinoids promote cell response to create balance within and between all of the bodies inner systems. CBD does not have any intoxicating effects and is completely safe for use and consumption.
We only process DOA certified hemp and test at every step of the way for quality assurance.
What is the difference between THC & CBD?
CBD and THC are two of many natural compounds found in the hemp plant. Both have the same molecular structure, yet they have different impacts on your body due to a slight difference in how the atoms are arranged. Both CBD and THC interact with the cannabinoid receptors in the human body, impacting the release of neurotransmitters in your brain. These neurotransmitters are the chemicals which are responsible for cell communication.
THC is best known for its mind-altering euphoria, CBD on the other hand is non-intoxicating.
CBD + ECS (Endocannabinoid system)
The endocannabinoid system behaves as a regulator for various brain & body functions as well as promotes overall homeostasis - ensuring all systems are working to their best abilities. When cannabinoids are introduced to the ECS they interact with receptors to activate the healthy flow of these vital functions.
The two major types of cannabinoid receptors are CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are abundant throughout the body but are most prevalent in the brain, CNS (Central Nervous System) intestines and glands. CB2 receptors are more scattered throughout the body, and make a strong impact on immune cells, gastrointestinal tract, and peripheral nervous systems. CB2 receptors are eminently known their anti-inflammatory properties. These receptors reside inside of the ECS waiting for cannabinoids to enter so that they can connect and communicate with cells to activate positive body function.
What are the benefits of CBD?
Due to the current federal regulations on hemp, we cannot legally make any health claims about cannabidiol, but encourage you to research the experience of others with this amazing compound.
What type of extraction process do we use?
Our hemp undergoes either Ethanol or CO2 Extraction processes, depending on client preference, in order to produce safe and pure CBD refinements.
Where does our hemp come from?
All of our CBD extracts come from hemp that has been grown here in Colorado.
Do our products contain THC?
All IHP Refinements are curated with 99%+ CBD Isolate derived from Industrial Hemp, meaning that our products have ZERO THC.
Why IHP is above the rest?
We understand that when it comes to CBD, there's a lot out there, and it's not always easy to decipher what brand is best. At IHP Refinery, we test each batch of our Refined Hemp CBD to ensure you're getting the correct amount of cannabinoids without any heavy metals, solvents, or dangerous additives. We stand by all of our products with a money back guarantee.

February 5, 2015 THURSDAY, 4TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME
St. Agatha, Virgin and Martyr
Memorial, Red
Heb12:18-19, 21–24 / Mk 6: 7-13
[St. Agatha (d. c251) was martyred in Sicily during the time of Decius.]
Reading: Heb12:18-19, 21–24
What you have come to is nothing known to the senses: nor heat of a blazing fire, darkness and gloom and storms, blasts of trumpets or such a voice that the people pleaded that no further word be spoken.
The sight was so terrifying that Moses said: I tremble with fear.
But you came near to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem with its innumerable angels. You have come to the solemn feast, the assembly of the firstborn of God, whose names are written in heaven. There is God, Judge of all, with the spirits of the upright brought to perfection. There is Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, with the sprinkled blood that cries out more effectively than Abel's.
Gospel: Mk 6: 7-13
He called the Twelve to him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over evil spirits. And he ordered them to take nothing for the journey except a staff; no food, no bag, no money in their belts. They were to wear sandals and were not to take an extra tunic.
And he added, "In whatever house you are welcomed, stay there until you leave the place. If any place doesn't receive you and the people refuse to listen to you, leave after shaking the dust off your feet. It will be a testimony against them."
So they set out to proclaim that this was the time to repent. They drove out many demons and healed many sick people by anointing them.
Jesus Christ shows his intention of founding his Church by choosing the twelve apostles. He instructs them on how to do their mission. He also gives them authority over unclean spirits, and ability to cure people with ailments. Today Jesus is sounding off this same call to us – to be his messengers of the Good News. We can do this mission first by making our personal lives a living testimony to the love and goodness of God. Then some of us may be called to be catechists or missionaries like the apostles.
In the Gospel reading, Jesus instructs the apostles not to bring anything – clothes, food or money – for the journey. Why? Because Jesus wants them to experience God's providence and trust in Him. So whatever role in the Church God is calling you to do, remember that Jesus will be with you till the end of time as he promised. Do not be afraid and trust in the providence of God. And do not think that you are unworthy of the call. Remember that among the apostles, one denied Jesus three times, another doubted in his resurrection and a third betrayed him. The Lord knows each one of us. He knows our weaknesses. So just trust in him and the Holy Spirit to give you the grace and strength to fulfill your mission.
And when you have fulfilled your mission and depart from this world, you can be sure that you will be in good company – saints, angels, martyrs, etc. – all worshipping God, the supreme Judge and Jesus Christ, our Mediator and Saviour. We will be constantly feasting in heaven and our happiness will have no end because the Holy Spirit will be everywhere.
Finally, we pray for one another, for those who have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most.
Have a good day!

The Minister should make the MMR vaccine available to early childhood teachers so that our most vulnerable children are protected from the risks of measles, National's Early Childhood Education spokesperson Nicola Willis says.
"Children under five are the priority for receiving the measles vaccine across the country because they're the most vulnerable to the risks of the disease.
"Many ECE teachers will belong to the cohort of adults who are significantly less likely to have received an MMR booster when they were children, because these weren't introduced until the 1990s.
"Measles combines being both serious and being highly infectious. Some young children who may be immuno-compromised and attending early childhood facilities could be put at risk if their teachers aren't protected.
"There's no sense in vaccinating only under-fives and not the adults who come into contact with young children every day.
"Julie Anne Genter hasn't acted fast enough on measles and has been dismissive of the both the scale of the outbreaks and the scale of the vaccine shortage.
"But vaccinating early childhood teachers would provide even more safeguards for the hundreds of thousands of under-fives who attend early childhood facilities every day.
"This Government also scrapped health targets which, under National, resulted in improved vaccination rates that safeguarded Kiwis' health.
"Now there's an opportunity to do the right thing and ensure that the health of the most susceptible Kiwi kids doesn't continue to be put at risk."

We, Bangladeshis, live in such a society where most of the people, particularly office-bearers, forget the statutory duty limits when they make any statement or pledge. The situation has reached such a proportion that we no more get surprised to hear a livestock minister talking about foreign affairs or an expatriate affairs minister coming up with a plan for protection of forest resources. It is not bad if anyone working in a particular field can contribute to the solution to the problems of any other field. Perhaps nobody declines to acknowledge such positive contribution. But the reality is that every sensible person wishes to see the solution package of any problem coming from those who are duty-bound for that.
The new mayor in Dhaka North City Corporation Atiqul Islam seems to be very active in searching solution to the problems the city dwellers have long been facing. While talking to the media before and after his election, he floated solution plans for the city problems, including chronic traffic chaos, water logging, etc.The new mayor faced a blow, only in two weeks of his taking office, on Tuesday when university and college students across the Dhaka city came down on the streets and began road blockade at several points hearing that one of their fellows – Bangladesh University of Professionals student Abrar Ahmed Chowdhury – was crushed under the wheels of a bus of Suprobhat transport agency on Bishwa road at Kuril. The situation got worse the following day prompting him to rush to Kuril where students of institutions in the surrounding areas gathered and blocked the busy Bishwa road demanding action to stop deaths on roads. Flunked by the Dhaka Metropolitan Police chief and the BUP vice chancellor, the mayor delivered a speech before the students in which he made several pledges, including construction of a footbridge after the name of the victim. He also laid the foundation stone of the footbridge near the main gate of Bashundhara residential area where Abrar met the tragic end of his life.
His pledges raise a question; how much a mayor has to do, other than construction of such footbridges, to combat transport chaos and contribute to reducing road fatalities in the city. As public representatives, city heads in Bangladesh pledge many things that they are not even duty-bound to do. But after most of the incidents like road crashes and fires, we hear very less from the authorities who have the statutory duty and institutional arrangement to check such accidents.
The task of ensuring 'transport discipline' and preventing road crashes in the capital lies mainly with the traffic division of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, which is responsible for enforcement of traffic laws and rules, and the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority, the statutory regulator for transport sector. Unfortunately, a section of officers of the two vital organisations earned them ill-repute by their dishonest activities. Media reports suggest people secure driving licences without proper training and their 'unfit vehicles' get fitness certificates in exchange for bribe. One does not need to be an expert to verify the accusation; simple glances at public transports, particularly buses and auto-rickshaws, will be enough for that. How so dilapidated and run-down buses trucks, human haulers, three-wheelers can have their fitness certificates updated and dominate the city roads?
The transport regulator has banned the plying of all busses under Suprobhat and Jabale Noor, which was involved in a similar road crash last year in which two college students were run over and killed sparking more vigorous student agitations. BRTA's latest action is praiseworthy but as the regulatory body, it can in no way skip the responsibility for issuance of driving licences to untrained people and fitness certificates to unfit vehicles.
Irregularities in the transport sector know no bound; they do not remain confined to the issuance of the licences and certificates to undeserving persons and vehicles. Many people freely drive vehicles with fake licences, many light-car drivers handle heavy vehicles while many vehicles ply in the city without updated fitness certificates.
And the allegations against traffic policemen of helping unfit or unlicensed vehicles to operate in the capital are not new. Several investigative reports of television channels have even shown how traffic sergeants themselves take bribes on monthly basis from commercial vehicle owners to allow them ply without valid documents not only in their respective duty areas but also the entire capital. There are allegations that traffic cops even force owners of the commercial vehicles having valid documents to pay bribe monthly; they make the business impossible for the owners unwilling to pay them bribe.No sane person will believe that the high-ups of a disciplined force like police are totally ignorant of this misdeed, better say crime, of the field-level traffic officers. Why the high-ups wink at the misdeed raises a million dollar question.
As a nation, we have lost a huge time but time is not yet over to bring 'transport discipline' in the capital and other parts of the country. We would like to believe that BRTA and traffic police -- the two vital organisations responsible for ensuring 'transport discipline' -- will employ their full authority, skill and manpower to perform their jobs duly. If so, many lives will be saved on roads and the two organisations will be able to remove the stigma they have long been carrying.
And everyone needs to agree that solution to transport chaos does not lie in the construction of footbridges. Yes building footbridges where necessary and relocation of the existing ones to places where they will be more useful will help the city dwellers greatly, but will contribute a little to the solution to the chronic transport chaos. We are not sure how much the Abrar footbridge will heal the pain of the ill-fated boy's family and friends, who demanded it be named after him, but we are certain this footbridge and the like will not help that much to heal the chronic bruise of transport chaos and the resultant road fatalities.

As investors increasingly focus on ESG there is widening demand for research, ratings, rankings and benchmarks. With so many ESG metrics, there are a wide range of firms providing niche research along with the mainstream data vendors, some of whom provide ESG benchmarks.
Whether firms provide general market data, focus exclusively on general ESG or on limited number of ESG metrics, it is essential that the firm can demonstrate a rigorous ESG approach.
Our ESG Control solution helps ESG research/data providers evidence their ESG product:
- Product Governance: Ensure that each ESG "product" is clearly defined, documented, managed, back tested and verified
- Resources/Expertise: Show clients that the firm has dedicated sufficient resources to ESG (personnel, systems, data, etc.)
- Monitoring/Reporting: Show that the firm's ESG products are monitored, results are reported, and actions taken
GRC-Maestro keeps the records you need to show: the who, what, when and why regarding ESG Governance.

Cubs have had shining moments through Draft
From Wood to Soto, first 15 rounds have proven fruitful over the years
A key part of the Cubs' rebuilding process is to develop homegrown talent, which is why first-round Draft picks such as Javier Baez, Albert Almora and Kris Bryant are watched so closely.
That isn't to say a team can't find a star in later rounds. In the 24th round in 1985, the Cubs selected Mark Grace, then a 21-year-old first baseman from Winston-Salem, N.C. The left-handed hitter played 13 seasons with the Cubs and posted a .308 average with the team. He holds the distinction of totaling the most hits (1,754) in the 1990s in the Major Leagues.
The 2014 Draft will take place on June 5-7, beginning with the Draft preview show on MLB.com and MLB Network on Thursday, June 5, at 6 p.m. ET. Live Draft coverage from MLB Network's Studio 42 begins at 7 p.m., with the top 74 picks being streamed on MLB.com and broadcast on MLB Network. MLB.com's exclusive coverage of the second and third days will begin with a live Draft show at 12:30 p.m. ET on June 6.

The Cubs have the fourth pick overall in the Draft, and another chance to add to the organization's depth. Who were the top players selected in franchise history, round by round? Let's take a look back.
Round 1: Rafael Palmeiro, 1985; Kerry Wood, 1995
The Cubs selected Rafael Palmeiro 22nd overall, and although the left-handed hitter only played for the team three seasons, he boasts the best WAR of any of its first-round picks at 71.6. Palmeiro batted .288, hit 569 home runs, and drove in 1,835 runs over 20 seasons. He won three Gold Glove Awards, two Silver Sluggers and ranked in the top 10 in batting average four years. Chicago dealt Palmeiro to the Rangers in December 1988 along with Drew Hall and Jamie Moyer for six players, including Mitch Williams and Steve Wilson.
The Cubs' other most accomplished first-round pick is Kerry Wood, who they selected fourth overall out of Grand Prairie (Texas) High School. The right-hander pitched 14 seasons -- 12 with the Cubs -- and finished with an 86-75 record, a 3.67 ERA and 1,582 strikeouts, with 20 of those coming in his fifth big league game May 6, 1998.
Round 2: Greg Maddux, 1984
Cubs scout Doug Mapson's report on Greg Maddux read: "I really believe this boy would be the No. 1 player in the country if only he looked a bit more physical." Mapson also wrote: "If available when we select in second round, I would be surprised. We would be getting a first-round guy." The Cubs did pick the skinny right-hander out of Valley High School in Las Vegas. Maddux went on to win 355 games plus four Cy Young Awards. He finished with 3,371 strikeouts and 999 walks in his 23-year career. An 18-time Gold Glove Award winner and an eight-time All-Star, Maddux will be enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame in July.
Round 3: Rick Reuschel, 1970
A native of Quincy, Ill., Reuschel was selected out of Western Illinois University. The right-handed pitcher would play 19 seasons, 12 with the Cubs, beginning in 1972. Known as "Big Daddy," he won 20 games in 1977 and 18 in '79 with Chicago. Traded to the Yankees in June 1981, he finished that season with New York, was released in June '83, then re-signed with the Cubs later that month. Reuschel posted a 214-191 record and 3.37 ERA in his career.
Round 4: Ken Holtzman, 1965
Holtzman was selected out of the University of Illinois, and made his Major League debut that same year at the age of 19 on Sept. 4 in relief. The lefty posted back-to-back 17-win seasons in 1969 and '70 with the Cubs, and he threw two no-hitters (Aug. 19, 1969, vs. the Braves; June 3, 1971, vs. the Reds). He also pitched for the Athletics, Yankees and Orioles, and he returned to the Cubs in '78 for two more seasons. There must be something about no-no's and fourth-round picks. In May, Chris Rusin, the Cubs' fourth-round selection in 2009, threw a no-hitter for Triple-A Iowa, and Tyler Skulina, selected last June in the fourth round, combined with Nathan Dorris on a no-no with Class A Kane County.
Round 5: Jeff Samardzija, 2006
Scouts were wary of picking Samardzija, because most teams felt he was going to follow up his All-America career as a wide receiver at Notre Dame by playing in the NFL. But Samardzija made it clear to the Cubs he wanted to pitch, and this season, he's shining. The right-hander ranks among the Major League leaders in ERA this season, only his third as a full-time starting pitcher. In 1986, the Cubs made another smart choice in the fifth round, picking catcher and current Yankees manager Joe Girardi. He played seven seasons with the Cubs.
Round 6: Jamie Moyer, 1984
Moyer set single-season records in wins, ERA and strikeouts his final year at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. The Cubs picked him in '84 and promoted him to the big leagues two years later to make his Major League debut on June 16, 1986, against the Phillies' Steve Carlton. Moyer got the win. When he pitched his final game in 2012, Moyer was the oldest player in the Major Leagues at 49, and had the most wins, losses and strikeouts of any big league pitcher. He finished with a 269-209 record and 4.25 ERA. The Cubs dealt him to the Rangers along with Rafael Palmeiro in the Mitch Williams deal, and Moyer would eventually pitch for the Mariners, Phillies, Rangers, Orioles, Rockies, Cardinals and Red Sox over 25 seasons.
Round 7: None
The Cubs did select Steve Clevenger in 2006 and Sergio Mitre in '01, but the only seventh-round pick with extended big league playing time was outfielder Jacob Brumfield, selected in 1983. He never played for Chicago, getting released in April 1985.
Round 8: Steve Trachsel, 1981
Trachsel did win 13 games in 1996 and 15 in '98, but he led the National League in losses in '99 with 18, and was granted free agency after that season. Trachsel would pitch for the Mets (66-59), Orioles (8-13), Rays (6-10) and Blue Jays (2-5) in his 16-year career. In eight seasons with the Cubs, he was 61-72 with a 4.41 ERA and 11 complete games. The Cubs also selected Mike Krukow out of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, in 1973, and he pitched six seasons with Chicago before he was dealt to the Phillies for Dan Larson, Keith Moreland and Dickie Noles. Krukow had his best years with the Giants, winning 20 games in '86.
Round 9: Craig Lefferts, 1980
Lefferts didn't last long in Chicago. The left-hander was 3-4 with a 3.13 ERA in 56 games in 1983, and then packaged that December with Fritzie Connally and Carmelo Martinez, and sent to the Padres. The Cubs received Scott Sanderson from the Expos. The Cubs did pick Kevin Tapani in the ninth round in 1985, but he did not sign, and was then selected the next year in the second round by the Athletics. Chicago also picked Jon Lieber in the ninth round in 1991, and he did not sign, and the Royals made him their second-round selection in '92.
Round 10: Casey McGehee, 2003; Sam Fuld, '04
McGehee only played nine games for the Cubs in '08, and the Brewers selected him off waivers in October that year. The third baseman had two solid seasons in Milwaukee, hitting 23 homers in '10. He spent last season in Japan, and is back in the Majors with the Marlins.
The Cubs selected Fuld in the 24th round in 2003, but he chose not to sign. The next year, the Cubs made him their 10th-round pick, and he did come to terms. The outfielder played in 98 games over three seasons with the Cubs (2007, 2009-10) before he was dealt with four other players to Tampa Bay in the Matt Garza deal in January 2011.
Round 11: Geovany Soto, 2001
Soto shined in 2008, when he won the NL Rookie of the Year award, hitting 23 home runs, 35 doubles and batting .285 in 141 games. That season he also was named to the NL All-Star team and finished 13th in the Most Valuable Player voting. The Puerto Rican catcher spent eight seasons with the Cubs until he was dealt in July 2012 to the Rangers for Minor League pitcher Jake Brigham.
Round 12: Bill North, 1969
North had limited playing time with the Cubs in 1971-72, totaling 143 at-bats in 74 games. In November 1972, he was traded to the Athletics for reliever Bob Locker, who went 10-6 with a 2.54 ERA in 63 games, totaling 18 saves. North led the American League in 1974 and '76 in stolen bases with 54 and 75, respectively.
Round 13: Tony Campana, 2008
The Cubs' best 13th-round pick most likely was Darrell Evans, tabbed in 1965 out of Muir (Calif.) High School, but he didn't sign, and he was the Kansas City Athletics' seventh-round selection in '67. Campana was popular in 2011 and '12 because of his speed, swiping 24 and 30 bases in those seasons, respectively. The outfielder was dealt to the D-backs in February '13 for two Minor League players.
Round 14: James Russell, 2007
The son of former big league pitcher Jeff Russell, James Russell appeared in at least 74 games in relief in back-to-back-seasons in 2012-13. Other notable players the Cubs selected in the 14th round who did not sign include Bob Welch (1974) and Khalil Greene (2001).
Round 15: None
The Cubs did pick Mark Langston in 1978 out of Buchser High School in Santa Clara, Calif., but he went to San Jose State instead, and was the Mariners' second-round pick in 1981. He won 17 games in his rookie season in '84, and compiled an 88-74 record with the Angels from 1990-96.

Arise at dawn, the Avon which is never still, And every day, how strong it flows, Into each pool and each new rill, It does my soul, with pleasure fill.
Edward and his team have been working on the fragrance in house at 89 Jermyn Street and as always with our By Request collection, we've hand poured just 200 bottles of this fragrance. The bottles are hand labelled and signed and dated by perfumer Penny Ellis.
Edward shares his thoughts on the inspiration behind the fragrance.
"Historically we always launch our hand poured collection in late January, when winter is setting in but nature provides a few early signs of spring, particularly on our river banks. I love this time of year and whilst working on the 'River Dawn' scent with our team, it became clear that I wasn't alone. Our rivers drive us on, providing tranquillity and uplifting our spirits, even in the harshest coldest winter, as the sun rises on a new day, they continue to shape our land, our geology, our industry and trade. They are a constant source of inspiration. I recently walked along the banks of the Avon near Bradford Upon Avon. It's a part of the world that for me encapsulates a huge amount of the beauty of our country. Interestingly our perfumer, Penny Ellis, who worked with me in creating this fragrance is a keen river swimmer who has swam sections of the Avon during these colder months which gave her huge inspiration when composing the scent.
We wanted to reflect the vibrant yet reflective tranquillity of flowing, shimmering water. How it feels to be in that raw environment. The natural beauty of the cold river bank, signs that spring is on its way as tea olives force through the cold, and snowdrops appear in the shade of wooded forests, never far from the water. Most of all, we wanted to portray that emotion felt when rising before the dawn to see these landscapes completely unspoilt, before the world
awakes. The river dwellers, fishermen, swimmers, rowers and those who still earn a living, working in harmony with its flow."
To celebrate the launch, we've created a film to capture the perfumery teams inspiration.

Art Wadlund and Rob Caylor recently purchased a 22,289-square-foot parking lot at the southwest corner of Broadway and Stone Ave in Tucson for $1.78 million ($80 PSF) from Swain Chapman and partners.
Plans for the lot are to develop a six-story, mixed use class A building, similar to 'One East', that was also developed by Wadlund and Caylor. On the northeast corner, the One East building has 29,374-square-feet of office space, street-level retail space, subterranean and above-ground structure parking and 24 residential apartments on approximately the same size lot, totally approximately 130,000-square-feet.
Now fully leased, with a waiting list for the 24-apartment units, Wadlund says they are hoping to add 40-apartment units more, plus retail and parking, similar to One East, but without the office space at the new project.
The current property address is 62-74 South Stone Avenue, but it is likely the City will permit the address change to 'One West' Broadway at this corner where east meets west Downtown and odd and even addresses switch sides.
The seller, Swain Chapman, told us he had owned the property since 2000 and was holding it for development themselves as the revitalized of the downtown district advanced.
"But, after seeing One East, I'm confident that this project is in the right hands to mirror the same success for Downtown," Chapman stated.
Wadlund says, "The purchase was a no-nonsense deal with the seller, and the project is moving along with our first neighborhood association meeting scheduled for May 19th; preliminary plans should be ready two weeks later, and we anticipate a Q1 2016 ground breaking."
"There is a need for more multifamily units in the downtown district, so it was a simple supply and demand decision to proceed with this project," according to Wadlund.
Tucson's downtown has come a long way since revitalization began, there's a symbiotic relationship that exists between Downtown and the Broadway corridor that this project will enhance, just as the University and the modern streetcar share a similar relationship. All combine to form a greater urban whole for Downtown Tucson unfolding before our eyes.
Both buyer and seller are licensed real estate brokers and represented themselves in the transaction. To learn more Wadlund is with Berkadia Real Estate Advisors in Tucson and should be contacted at 520.299-7200. Chapman is with Chapman Management Group and can be reached at 520.622.5544.

4 No Parking Stencil
If you are in the business of painting parking lots, you likely know that many areas around the United States have a new requirement regarding fire lanes in parking lots. The fire lanes are denoted with two red lines that are painted 24' apart. In most cases, you will also need to paint the words Fire Lane - No Parking, and that is where this 4" Fire Lane - No Parking stencil can help.
This stencil is 68" wide and four inches high, and it is made from PRO-Grade LDPE, which is a high-quality choice for those who need to use the stencil multiple times. This is a very popular material, and in most cases, you should be able to use the stencil thousands of times with no problem. Just make sure to take proper care of it and to clean it after each use.
One of the biggest benefits of the stencil is that it is in one piece. You no longer have to spend time worrying about lining up both of the phrases, or even worse, trying to do it with individual letters. You simply lay the stencil down in the area you need to paint and get to work. You will find that you have consistent words and spacing every time you spray, which means the job will look truly professional.
Another one of the reasons so many pros love using the stencil is because it is heavy enough to lay flat and not move at all when spraying, even up to 3,000psi.
If you need to paint fire lanes, you will want to have at least one of these stencils on hand. Those who have larger companies that take on more jobs may want to have several available. This highly durable and convenient 4" Fire Lane - No Parking stencil is a perfect choice.

My regular cacciatore recipe is made all in one pot: the tomato sauce, chicken, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and garlic. The vegetables add a special flavor to the sauce.
In deconstructed chicken cacciatore, I'm cooking all of the vegetables separately, so the flavors are in their own section of the dinner plate. I'm serving this with a side of spaghetti. I hope you enjoy the recipe.

boneless chicken breast, cut into thin medallions
28 oz. can of whole peeled tomatoes
3 small onions, cut into chunks
6 cloves of garlic, rough-chopped
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
Cremini mushrooms (or baby Bellas), cut in half
hot red pepper flakes
dried oregano
dried basil
black pepper
extra virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Pour the juice from the tomatoes into a food processor or blender. I also included two of the smaller peeled tomatoes. Add two cloves of garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, olive oil, and blend to a thick puree.
Pour the marinade over the chicken in a medium-sized bowl. Stir, cover, and place in the refrigerator for several hours.
Chicken and Vegetables
Cover a baking sheet in foil. Make two small compartments for the onions and garlic. Arrange the marinated chicken onto the rest of the baking sheet. Spoon some of the marinade over the top. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Crank up the oven to 400 degrees and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
While the chicken is baking, cook the red bell pepper in a small frying pan with a little salt and olive oil. You may need to add a little water if it starts to dry out. In a separate frying pan, cook the mushrooms with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Pasta Sauce
Put water on to boil for the spaghetti.
Put the remaining whole tomatoes in the food processor and pulse a few times. You want to leave the tomatoes a little chunky, not blended smooth.
Pour the tomatoes into a wide pan, add some olive oil, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic. Cook over low heat.
When the spaghetti is cooked, add to the tomato mixture with a little of the pasta water and toss.
Serve the chicken on a plate with a side portion of spaghetti, surrounded by the peppers, mushrooms, onions, and garlic.
As you eat the chicken, you can pull in the flavors that you want into each bite.
