It's not like the instructions read, "If you score X or higher, get yourself on antidepressants post haste." My results came with text saying that I appear to have some symptoms associated with depressive disorders and that I might benefit from seeing a professional to get a real diagnosis. Which sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

☛ The New York Times: "The waves of the tsunami hit residences in Natori", Kyodo News, via Associated Press, March 11, 2011
TOKYO — An 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan on Friday, the strongest ever recorded in the country and one of the largest anywhere in the last century. The quake churned up a devastating tsunami that swept over cities and farmland in the northern part of the country and set off warnings as far away as the West Coast of the United States and South America. (The New York Times: "Huge Quake and Tsunami Hit Japany" Martin Fackler and Kevin Drew, March 11, 2011
Below is a map of tsunami warnings issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency:
The quake prompted the U.S. National Weather Service to issue tsunami warnings for at least 50 countries and territories, although initial reports as the waves reached locations outside of Japan indicated no damage. (CNN: "Widespread destruction from Japan earthquake, tsunamis" by the CNN Wire Staff, March 11, 2011)
Below is a map of the distribution of energy in the ocean after the earthquake (issued by the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center):
More maps over at Mother Jones. More hi-res photos over at The Atlantic "In Focus" blog (run by Alan Taylor who used to run the "Big Picture" blog over at Boston.com). Also at The Atlantic: senior editor Alexis Madrigal as a rich collection of resources about "How to Follow the Japanese Earthquake on the Web".
[UPDATE March 14, 2011] The magnitude of the Sendai earthquake which hit Japan on March 11, 2011 was revised by the seismologists at the US Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California. It is now believe to be a 9.0 earthquake:
Seismologists at the US Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California, have just revised their calculations regarding the magnitude of today's quake. They now say it was magnitude 9.0. Already one of the top 10 recorded earthquakes in history, the revision suggests the quake was even more powerful than first thought. Harold Tobin of the University of Wisconsin-Madison told New Scientist that this figure will probably change again. This is typical in the hours after a large seismic event, as more information becomes available. (NewScientist: "Japan's megaquake: what we know", March 11, 2011)

INDIANAPOLIS – He plays offence. He's won at least two Super Bowls, and he was the MVP the last time the Patriots won the NFL championship.
Know who it is?
"I'd have to say Tom," New England safety Patrick Chung said Monday. Nope, not Tom Brady.
The same question seemed to stump running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis for a few seconds, too. Then he said it's really not important who got the honour in a game where the biggest reward is the Vince Lombardi Trophy that goes to the NFL champion.
"To me, MVPs don't matter," he said. "The only thing that really matters is us going out there and performing well."
And it doesn't matter to Deion Branch, either. He was the Super Bowl MVP when the Patriots beat the Eagles 24-21 seven years ago for their third championship in four years. He's been overlooked a bit this season, with Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez grabbing most of Brady's passes and the headlines.
"That's cool," said Branch, who has that MVP trophy stored safely in a glass case at his home. "I just do my job. I can't worry about who's controlling it and who's saying A, B, C, D. I just do my job I'm not here to be the one that (says), 'Hey I need all the attention.' That's not me."
His contribution doesn't escape the discriminating eye of coach Bill Belichick as he prepares his team for the Super Bowl against the New York Giants on Sunday.
"I couldn't imagine anybody on the team not thinking that Deion Branch has a tremendous importance to our football team," Belichick said. "I don't care if they play offence, defence or wash the towels."
Brady was MVP of the Patriots first two Super Bowl wins in 2002 and 2004. Then he threw for two touchdowns among his 23 completions in their next championship game.
But it was Branch, who caught nearly half of them, who was MVP after tying a Super Bowl record with 11 receptions.
Then, after one more season, he was gone, traded during a contract dispute after the opening game of the 2006 season to Seattle for a draft choice. Brady was devastated to lose his friend and the receiver who could adjust his planned route with just a pre-snap glance from his quarterback.
Then he felt much better when Branch made the cross-country trip back for a reunion.
The Patriots obtained Branch in a trade on Oct. 12, 2010 for a fourth-round draft choice to replace Randy Moss, who was traded to Minnesota. Branch had 48 catches in 11 games with New England last season and another 51 in 15 games this season.
But Welker led the NFL with 122 receptions, Gronkowski set a league single-season record for tight ends with 17 touchdown catches and Hernandez, a tight end versatile enough to make big plays at wide receiver and running back, had 79 receptions.
Welker has caught at least 111 passes in four of his five years with the Patriots. Gronkowski and Hernandez, fun-loving second-year pros, are revolutionizing the tight end position historically known for players who block well and occasionally break away for long gains.
Branch, simply, just produces in the shadows of those stars.
"It's easy to overlook a guy like him in their offence because they're so tight-end focused and those are the guys who are scoring touchdowns," Giants linebacker Matthias Kiwanuka said, "but he obviously creates matchup problems. If you want to assign your best corner to a Wes Welker or somebody else, or you want to put your safety down on a tight end, then (Branch) is going to create an issue for you, but we have the personnel to get it done."
Branch is a solid blocker for his size and a precise route runner who can adjust on the fly. And he can make the big play. In a 45-10 divisional playoff win over Denver, he caught a 61-yard touchdown pass.
"I don't know how many guys make that play for us," Belichick said.
It's the kind of play the Giants will try to prevent.
"People who actually play against him, they understand how good Deion is," New York safety Antrel Rolle said. "Deion is a veteran of this league. He understands all the tricks to this game and, most of all, he's great for their system. He fits their system extremely well. So I think Deion definitely gets his due, maybe not in the media or in the press, but within this team as an organization I feel he definitely gets his due."
Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork said a player's contribution in each game depends on what offensive or defensive packages a team uses. It could emphasize the tight ends or Welker or even the running game.
And, on Sunday, maybe even Branch.
"You never know," Wilfork said. "He might have another MVP game."

In the grown-up game of "tag" that is Houston's mayoral contest, both the incumbent (Annise Parker) and top challenger (Ben Hall) now are sporting countdown clocks on their websites, each accusing the other of ducking one challenge or another.
Hall put his clock up first, after challenging Parker to six debates.
Parker publicly agreed to one, but nothing has been scheduled, so Hall's clock is now at 23 days. (There also was the squabble over whether a recent candidate event was a forum or a debate.)
Then on Tuesday, Parker released some tax returns and challenged her opponents to do the same. Hall said he would do what the law requires (and it does not require the release of tax returns).
Thus, the incumbent posted a countdown clock of her very own today. It's at three days.
For what it's worth, the campaigns appear to have used the same a website to generate their clocks.

First Impressions: Paul & Joe X Disney Collection
I need to relax. What better way to relax then to blog?
Japanese Spring Collection week continues with the eagerly anticipated X Disney Collection! I blogged about this Collection not so long ago in a prior post (Click for details!) and soon after I knew I had to have the entire set!
How freaking cute is the packaging on this? My god I'm in love!
The collection consists of a lip treatment, handcream, and face powders.
My favorite of the collection are the two face powders! The packaging is like Guerlain's Meteorites but a tiny bit smaller in size. I was somewhat disappointed by the fact that there isn't a whole lot of powder beads inside but the packaging, quality, and pigment of the product make up for it!
The powders come in two shades one of which is a beautiful pink! The packaging on the pink shade features Flower, the lovable skunk from Bambi! Awwww! These come with a cute powder puff with ribbon which really makes me love it even more for the girlish Victorian factor! I can't help myself I love cute cosmetics! Don't you!?
The pink is a beautiful shade and can be worn alone if you so desire or used as a highlighter. The color is pigmented enough that you can easily get away with using it as a blush! I guess the puff isn't a conventional way of applying but it works well enough for dotting onto your cheeks! I used some of this last night but decided to use my #187 to pick up the color! It worked a treat because the #187 didn't become saturated with color it just picked up enough to highlight my chubby cheeks hehe!
The peach color features Bambi on the box! Oh my god so cute! I wanna lick the box! My favorite is Flower but I love Bambi just as much! The peach does remind me of the Jill Stuart Blush in 05 Orange Blush (Click here to see the color) and I found it a bit chalky in comparison to the silky texture of the pink. However, it needs to be tested a bit more prior to making my final decision! Like the pink it's nicely pigmented to use as a blush or a highlighter! Yet again a disappointing amount of product but hey we got the cute packaging right? Right!
The other two items in the set were a handcream and a lip treatment. The handcream is a lovely cooling, moisturizing orange scented cream for your hands. Nothing really special here but the packaging does include Lady from Lady and the Tramp!
The lip treatment is quite yummie tasting but don't be fooled into thinking it'll be good for use with lipstick or as a glossy finish for your lips. This is a lip treatment so it's good to moisturize but doesn't leave your lips glossy or shiny! It's most definately not good for use over lipsticks either. The packaging features sweet Marie from The AristoCats! Awwwwwwwwww! I'm so in love. Did I mention that?
I can't squeal enough about this collection! It's so cute!
Overall, a job well done for Paul & Joe! A beautiful selection of very cute items!
Love it?
Want it?
Tell the Muse!

It's been said before here on upcycleDZINE. A piece of upcycle design can be very simple. It doesn't have to be complicated and difficult. Most of the time a great idea is very simple or at least looks that way. But like most great ideas, one has to come up with it.
One of those categories showing somewhat simple, but great ideas, is upcycle design made out of traffic signs. These objects may not be an obvious choice for upcycling. However after looking at several upcycled traffic sign designs you must admit that these designs are interesting. Two fantastic examples are Speed Lights by Brett Coelho and Traffic Sign Furniture by Boris Bally.
Now you can sit down to a Stop traffic sign
Thing I really like about these traffic signs is the graphic details like typo, lines, colours and scratches. So I was very happy to find another upcycle design made out of a traffic sign.
This time it's a STOP Traffic Sign Table designed by Studio Repa, founded in 2009 by Juro Vyboh and based in Bratislava | Slovakia. Repa designs and creates original lighting fixtures, home furnishings and small furniture. The material for their creations is 'old, used, unnecessary, discarded or waste'.
This time Juro created this elegant table completely out of used objects. He took an original STOP traffic sign and used back birch legs of broken chairs.
The sign is in perfect quality, made of a thick galvanized metal sheet with profiled border reinforced with particleboard to make it more compact.
Juro Vyboh:
"Right now I am observing the world and thinking how to make something from something else."
Photos © Studio Repa
The top is equiped with a light reflective sticker with beautiful typography having some small scratches. They give the design a history and add character. The legs are joined together with a thin metal cross for better stability.
This red STOP Traffic Sign Table is a nice fresh addition to sit down to and relax with a cup of coffee.

Columbus Cream Multi 006 Hand Knotted Traditional Wool Rug - 18mm Thick
This is a neutral colour, meaning it suits any colour scheme easily. It is natural and somewhat earthy looking, helping naturally break up a plain floor. Overly patterned rooms can also become balanced out, and darker colours are typically most eye-catchingly complimented.
As this is a traditional rug, it can add an element of culture, character and personality to a room. It also creates a talking point for guests, and provides you with something different and more busy to a room that is otherwise plain and boring.
A medium thickness rug combines the better grip and longevity of thin rugs, with the beauty and luxurious feel of thicker rugs.
Hand-knotted rugs contain a large number of knots per square inc, have great longevity and use high quality wool. They also take a long time to be made, resulting in less production errors. This makes them more expensive than other varieties of rug, but definitely worth the money as they are considered collectors pieces and can be passed down through the generations.

Irrelevant GOP Primary Candidate Battle: Who is the Biggest Bigot
But, lo and behold, Herman Cain may be giving Rick Santorum a run for his money. Cain has outright stated that he wouldn't name a Muslim as a member of his cabinet because, at least as far as Cain is concerned, just being Muslim makes you prone to being a terrorist.
The good news is that Cain and Santorum are equally irrelevant because neither actually has a chance to win the Republican nomination. But the mere fact that you have two candidates for a major party's presidential candidate who are taken seriously by at least a significant part of that party that have made prejudice towards a minority a significant component of their campaign is disconcerting enough.

Stating that Herman Cain is a bigot is fact. That, of course, doesn't mean that you are required to think bigotry is bad. The Founders mistrusted the public to the degree that many of them thought the masses to be grossly underqualified in selecting a president, but they still ratified the first amendment. And lo, the literati were thus burdened with the GOP.ReplyDelete

WORCESTERSHIRE were again plunged into deep trouble by Lancashire duo Jimmy Anderson and Graham Onions on a rain-hit first day in the Specsavers County Championship Division Two match at Blackfinch New Road.
Anderson and Onions had been the destroyer in chiefs last month in reducing Worcestershire to 38-7 on the opening day at Emirates Old Trafford which Lancashire won by six wickets.
And it was the same story in the reverse fixture as Anderson (14.1-5-24-4) and Onions (14-1-55-4) were largely responsible for the home side being skittled for 98 in just 38.1 overs with some top-class bowling.
Saqib Mahmood (8-4-8-2) ensured there was no let-up in the current leaders dominance of proceedings after they had opted to bowl under leaden skies.
Ed Barnard, who was promoted to number six, offered the most resistance with a defiant 32 as Worcestershire were dismissed for the second lowest total in the Championship this summer.
Only Nottinghamshire, with 97 against Warwickshire at Edgbaston last week, had been bowled out for a lower total during 2019.
Worcestershire had rejigged their batting line-up with Tom Fell and George Rhodes left out of the side and Josh Dell brought back to open the innings.
But they were unable to combat England star Anderson and Onions before the heavens opened shortly after the players left the field shortly after 2.30pm.
Lancashire unsurprisingly opted to bowl and Onions and Anderson were soon amongst the wickets on the same pitch used for yesterday's England Women-West Indies Women Royal London ODI international.
Onions was first to strike as opener Daryl Mitchell (4) nicked an away swinger through to keeper and skipper Dane Vilas and then Callum Ferguson (1) was trapped lbw by the former England paceman.
Riki Wessels (3) also went leg before to Anderson and it became 24-4 when Ross Whiteley (1) tried to work the same bowler through mid wicket and was caught off a leading edge by Haseeb Hameed at cover point.
Dell, who hit 61 on his Championship debut versus Durham, battled away to make 18 in 18 overs in the opening role but shouldered arms to Mahmood and was bowled.
Barnard brought up the Worcestershire fifty with a cover drive for four of Onions in the 20th over.
But it became 57-6 when red ball vice-captain Ben Cox (2) went for a drive and was caught behind off Mahmood.
The procession of wickets continued in the afternoon session.
Fit again Wayne Parnell (5) drove at Onions and was bowled and club captain Joe Leach (18) aimed to work the ball on the leg side and suffered the same fate.
Anderson wrapped up proceedings as Charlie Morris (1) and Barnard were both safely pouched by Vilas – the latter after attempting a ramp shot.
But there was no chance for Lancashire to launch their reply before rain intervened and play was called off for the day at 4.35pm.

Earlier today, more than 100 volunteers from the UAE community joined Dubai Cares in renovating and enriching the educational environment for the students of Umm Al Qura Private School, a non-profit school in Umm Al Quwain. This first edition of Volunteer Emirates 2013 involved volunteers in landscaping and painting work, assembling and installing new playground and classroom toys, as well as providing new sports and music equipment.
Tariq Al Gurg, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Cares said: "Volunteer Emirates is one of our most anticipated events of the year. Volunteering one's time and effort for the benefit of others is an extremely rewarding experience, and is an important characteristic of the UAE culture that we continuously aim to cultivate. This is why we decided to run more editions this year that will engage the maximum number of volunteers possible."
Mariam Ghanem Ali, Principal of Umm Al Qura Private School, said: "On my behalf and on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the school, I am delighted and honored to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to Dubai Cares for the supplies and aid they offered that will definitely serve education and create a safe and fun learning environment within our school."
Participating in the activity, Aisha Khalid said, "It is my pleasure to be a part of this wonderful initiative and I feel happy I can use my time and efforts for a good cause. It feels good to know that our efforts will help students of Umm Al Qura have a better school environment and I thank Dubai Cares for this volunteer opportunity."
Volunteer Emirates is part of a series of local initiatives launched by Dubai Cares to offer UAE residents opportunities to give back to their community here at home by dedicating their time and effort to support a worthy cause. In November 2012, over 100 volunteers helped Dubai Cares improve the learning environment at Al Ahliya Charity School in Dubai, assembling 1,000 chairs and desks and installing new sports equipment for the school's students.

Parallels Desktop for Mac by Parallels, Inc., is software providing hardware virtualization for Macintosh computers with Intel processors.
Parallels, Inc. is a developer of desktop and server virtualization software.
Released on June 15, 2006, it was the first software product to bring virtualization mainstream to Macintosh computers utilizing the Apple–Intel architecture (earlier software products ran PC software in an emulated environment).
Its name initially was 'Parallels Workstation for Mac OS X', which was consistent with the company's corresponding Linux and Windows products. This name was not well received within the Mac community, where some felt that the name, particularly the term "workstation," evoked the aesthetics of a Windows product. Parallels agreed: "Since we've got a great Mac product, we should make it look and sound like a Mac product...", it was therefore renamed 'Parallels Desktop for Mac'.[1]
On January 10, 2007, Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac was awarded "Best in Show" at MacWorld 2007.[2]
Parallels Desktop for Mac is a hardware emulation virtualization software, using hypervisor technology that works by mapping the host computer's hardware resources directly to the virtual machine's resources. Each virtual machine thus operates identically to a standalone computer, with virtually all the resources of a physical computer.[3] Because all guest virtual machines use the same hardware drivers irrespective of the actual hardware on the host computer, virtual machine instances are highly portable between computers. For example, a running virtual machine can be stopped, copied to another physical computer, and restarted.
Parallels Desktop for Mac is able to virtualize a full set of standard PC hardware, including[4]
Note that no mention is made of support for the following host interfaces:
The first official release of version 2.5 was on February 27, 2007, as build 3186.
Version 2.5 brought support for USB 2.0 devices, which expanded the number of USB devices supported at native speed, including support for built in iSight USB web-cams. The amount of video RAM allocated to the guest OS was made adjustable, up to 32MB. Full featured CD/DVD drives arrived in this version, which allowed the user to burn disks directly in the virtual environment, and play any copy-protected CD or DVD as one would in Mac OS X. In addition, a shared clipboard and drag-drop support between Mac OS X and the guest OS was implemented. This version brought the ability for users with a Windows XP installation to upgrade to Windows Vista from within the VM environment.[5] A new feature known as Coherence was added, which removed the Windows chrome, desktop, and the virtualization frames to create a more seamless desktop environment between Windows and Mac OS X applications. This version also allowed users to boot their existing Boot Camp Windows XP partitions, which eliminated the need to have multiple Windows installations on their Mac. A tool called Parallels Transporter was included to allow users to migrate their Windows PC, or existing VMware or Virtual PC VMs to Parallels Desktop for Mac.
In 2007, the German company Netsys GmbH sued Parallels' German distributor Avanquest for copyright violation, claiming that Parallels Desktop and Parallels Workstation are directly based on a line of products called "twoOStwo" that Parallels developed on paid commission for Netsys, of which it says, Netsys has been assigned all copyrights. Additionally, the lawsuit claimed that Parallels Desktop 2.5's compatibility with "twoOStwo" showed that the two software products are run by essentially the same functional core.[6] When Netsys lost its initial urgency proceeding, in which it requested a temporary injunction from the Landgericht district court of Berlin, it filed a new suit.[7]
On June 7, 2007 build 4124 was released as the first publicly available version of Desktop 3.0.
Version 3.0 retained all of the functionality from previous versions and added new features and tools. Support for DirectX 8.1 and OpenGL[8] was added, allowing Mac users to play some Windows games without the need to boot into Windows with Boot Camp.[9] A new feature called SmartSelect offers cross OS file and application integration by allowing the user to open Windows files with Mac OS X programs and vice versa. Parallels Explorer was introduced, which allows the user to browse their Windows system files in Mac OS X without actually launching Windows. A new snapshot feature was included, allowing one to restore their virtual machine environment to a previous state in case of issues. Further, Parallels added a security manager to limit the amount of interaction between the Windows and Mac OS X installations. This version included a long awaited complete "Parallels tools'" driver suite for Linux guest operating systems. Therefore integration between Mac OS X and Linux guest-OS's has been greatly improved.[10]
Despite the addition of numerous new features, tools and added functionality, the first iteration of Desktop for Mac 3.0 may be missing some of features that Parallels had planned for it. A Parallels, Inc. representative stated at MacWorld in January 2007 that version 3.0 would bring accelerated graphics, "multi-core virtual machines/virtual SMP, some SCSI support, a more Mac-like feel, as well as a more sophisticated coherence mode, dubbed Coherence 2.0".[11] While accelerated graphics have materialised, Coherence, as well as the overall look and feel of Parallels Desktop for Mac has only changed slightly. Also, SCSI support has not been implemented.[12]
It is currently unknown if these features have been abandoned altogether, or if they will show up in a later build of version 3.0.
Build 4560, released on July 17, 2007,[13] added an imaging tool which allowed users to add capacity to their virtual disks.
Build 5160, released on September 11, 2007,[14] added some new features and updated some current features.
The release focused on updates to Coherence, with support for Exposé, window shadows, transparent windows, and the ability to overlap several Windows and Mac windows. Further, Parallels' Image Tool was updated to allow one to change their virtual hard disk format between plain and expanding. Parallels Explorer was updated to allow for one to automatically mount an offline VM hard drive to the Mac desktop. Some new features added are iPhone support in Windows, allowing iTunes in Windows to sync with it.[15] Users can now mirror desktops or other folders. Further, Mac drives can now be mapped by Windows and sound devices can now be changed 'on the fly'. Up to 2 GB of RAM can be allocated to a virtual machine, with a total of 4 GB of RAM available.[16]
Parallels Desktop for Mac Build 5608 added support for guest Parallels Tools for Linux in the latest Linux distributions (including Ubuntu 8). It also added support for running 3D graphics in Windows virtual machines on Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.3.
According to Parallels' Licensing page, Desktop for Mac version 3.0 contains Direct3D code that was originally developed by the Wine open source project.[17] Wine software is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, which required Parallels to release the source code. Parallels released the modified source code on July 2, 2007, about 2 weeks after the promised release date.[18] A Parallels spokesman explained the reasons for the delay in a message on the official company blog.[19]
Version 4.0, released November 11, 2008,[20] updates its GUI, adds some new features, enhances its performance by up to 50%[21] and has been developed to consume 15–30% less power than previous versions.[22] Version 4.0 is the first version of Parallels Desktop that supports both 32-bit and 64-bit guest operating systems.

Green Cross Health pharmacies to stock Microdacyn
July 30 2016
The largest pharmacy group in New Zealand Green Cross Health, has made the decision to have Microdacyn as a core ranged product within their pharmacy first aid section.
"Microdacyn is a unique product for skin damage and acute wounds. Ideally people want a powerful local antimicrobial effect to prevent infection but also want to enable faster healing. Now consumers have that option direct from their local pharmacy."
Lance Gravatt Chairman of Te Arai BioFarma points to the benefits of Microdacyn being non-cytotoxic and easy for anyone to use. "The MicroHeal technology of Microdacyn means no damage to your own skin or cells so is non-irritating or stonging on application. The last thing a person wants following injury is more pain."
The product Microdacyn is presented as a pump spray for no touch wound care and easy dressing. For any information on Microdacyn ask at your local pharmacy and look for the MicroHeal logo.
Green Cross Health includes retail stores Life Pharmacy and Unichem Pharmacy, with over 300 stores New Zealand wide. Microdacyn is available to any pharmacies nationwide.
Information on the full MicroHeal range is available at www.microheal.co.nz
Microdacyn is a Medsafe listed and TGA registered Medical Device. Always read the label and follow the instructions. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional. Information on the full MicroHeal range is available at the MicroHeal website

I watched Fred: The Movie, starring Lucas Cruikshank (Marvin Marvin) and Jennette McCurdy (iCarly).
This is the story of a teenage boy as he goes through a weekend trying to find how to get a girl to fall in love with him. He has to deal with a bully and various problems trying to get the girl to come over to his house.
I give this movie 3/5 stars.
Based on the web show.
I liked the web series a lot more.

GRP Roofing in Abingdon
Fibreglass roofs (also called GRP Roofing in Abingdon) have some incredibly distinct advantages over felt or bitumen flat roofing systems, and are sometimes a really cost-effective way to re-waterproof your flat roof areas.
To be effective however, they have to be done well. Fibreglass is inherently a strong material, it can take huge loads in compression, and can twist in "torsion". Fibreglass can nevertheless be brittle, and if not applied properly it can break. Nearly a third of our work is fixing or replacing sub-standard, badly laid or downright shoddy fibreglass roofs which have failed – a large number of are less than 5 years old, well within the promised "guarantee" period.
Quality GRP Roofing in Abingdon
Unfortunately like several industries, the fibreglass roofing industry has attracted it's fair share of "cowboys" as there is no established minimum standards for this kind of roofing system, the materials are available to all, and no-one checks up on how work has been carried out.
To begin with "Fiberglass" is a material not a system. Every last fibreglass roof will be different depending on how it's laid-up – so do NOT assume that two estimates for a "Fiberglass Roof" will be for the same thing and the exact same specs. If obtaining a quote for GRP roofing in Abingdon, make sure the firm quoting you explain to you what you are getting for your money. Any company that can't tell you how the roof is going to be laid up or who don't include this specification in their quotes ought to be avoided. Select Thames Valley Roofing and Painting Services to install your fibreglass roofing and you can be assured of the very highest standards of workmanship and materials.

Robust & Durable Seamless Installation
Non-slip Finish Selection Great for Balconies, Terraces & Walkways

Other advantages
30 Year Guarantee For Fibreglass GRP Roofing
Not only does it look good, it also includes a 30 year guarantee and is maintenance free. In our experience a professionally applied fibreglass roof will last considerably longer than the 30 years.
When compared with an average life expectancy of bitumen based materials, the life expectancy of GRP roofing in Abingdon is far greater than other flat roof products rendering it a cheaper option on a year by year basis.

Have you been looking for GRP roofing in Abingdon? You can contact Thames Valley Roofing and Painting Services for a no obligation, comprehensive survey and report on your fibreglass roof. This will be followed by a fully written quotation. All this is absolutely FREE, so don't wait for a rainy day to remedy your flat roofing troubles.

I'm a new developer and I'm looking forward to the Ludum Dare event that's coming up! It'll be interesting to put all my knowledge together to make a game in a set time, I have high hopes that I(and if my Team decides to join in) will hopefully make one within' said time period!
Not long ago I was looking at things like this and got really jealous that I couldn't do it as I knew nothing about programming, only took 3 months and I'm intermediate at it (C# and Javascript, I do know HTML and a small bit of Python, also Ruby and C++).
I look forward to trying out the games that get submitted and I hope you guys will also check out my submission when the time comes.
It's nice to see developers from around the Globe come to one place and chill out.

Pinky's Fandance - Christina Ricci
I love Christina Ricci and have wanted to meet her for like fifteen years, so when we saw she'd be doing her very first convention at Silicon Valley, I was thrilled!
What a total sweetheart! Not only was she a dream when we met, but we ended up doing a VIP signing with her the next day and she was a total doll. Loved her!

The Legacy of Cain/Chapter XXVI
Helena's Diary
The event of to-day began with the delivery of a message summoning me to my father's study. He had decided—too hastily, as I feared—that he was sufficiently recovered to resume his usual employments. I was writing to his dictation, when we were interrupted. Maria announced a visit from Mr. Dunboyne.
Hitherto Philip had been content to send one of the servants of the hotel to make inquiry after Mr. Gracedieu's health. Why had he now called personally? Noticing that father seemed to be annoyed, I tried to make an opportunity of receiving Philip myself. "Let me see him," I suggested; "I can easily say you are engaged."
Very unwillingly, as it was easy to see, my father declined to allow this. "Mr. Dunboyne's visit pays me a compliment," he said; "and I must receive him." I made a show of leaving the room, and was called back to my chair. "This is not a private interview, Helena; stay where you are."
Philip came in—handsomer than ever, beautifully dressed—and paid his respects to my father with his customary grace. He was too well-bred to allow any visible signs of embarrassment to escape him. But when he shook hands with me, I felt a little trembling in his fingers, through the delicate gloves which fitted him like a second skin. Was it the true object of his visit to try the experiment designed by Eunice and himself, and deferred by the postponement of our dinner-party? Impossible surely that my sister could have practiced on his weakness, and persuaded him to return to his first love! I waited, in breathless interest, for his next words. They were not worth listening to. Oh, the poor commonplace creature!
"I am glad, Mr. Gracedieu, to see that you are well enough to be in your study again," he said. The writing materials on the table attracted his attention. "Am I one of the idle people," he asked, with his charming smile, "who are always interrupting useful employment?"
He spoke to my father, and he was answered by my father. Not once had he addressed a word to me—no, not even when we shook hands. I was angry enough to force him into taking some notice of me, and to make an attempt to confuse him at the same time.
"Have you seen my sister?" I asked.
It was the shortest reply that he could choose. Having flung it at me, he still persisted in looking at my father and speaking to my father: "Do you think of trying change of air, Mr. Gracedieu, when you feel strong enough to travel?"
"My duties keep me here," father answered; "and I cannot honestly say that I enjoy traveling. I dislike manners and customs that are strange to me; I don't find that hotels reward me for giving up the comforts of my own house. How do you find the hotel here?"
"I submit to the hotel, sir. They are sad savages in the kitchen; they put mushroom ketchup into their soup, and mustard and cayenne pepper into their salads. I am half-starved at dinner-time, but I don't complain."
Every word he said was an offense to me. With or without reason, I attacked him again.
"I have heard you acknowledge that the landlord and landlady are very obliging people," I said. "Why don't you ask them to let you make your own soup and mix your own salad?"
I wondered whether I should succeed in attracting his notice, after this. Even in these private pages, my self-esteem finds it hard to confess what happened. I succeeded in reminding Philip that he had his reasons for requesting me to leave the room.
"Will you excuse me, Miss Helena," he said, "if I ask leave to speak to Mr. Gracedieu in private?"
The right thing for me to do was, let me hope, the thing that I did. I rose, and waited to see if my father would interfere. He looked at Philip with suspicion in his face, as well as surprise. "May I ask," he said, coldly, "what is the object of the interview?"
"Certainly," Philip answered, "when we are alone." This cool reply placed my father between two alternatives; he must either give way, or be guilty of an act of rudeness to a guest in his own house. The choice reserved for me was narrower still—I had to decide between being told to go, or going of my own accord. Of course, I left them together.
The door which communicated with the next room was pulled to, but not closed. On the other side of it, I found Eunice.
"Listening!" I said, in a whisper.
"Yes," she whispered back. "You listen, too!"
I was so indignant with Philip, and so seriously interested in what was going on in the study, that I yielded to temptation. We both degraded ourselves. We both listened.
Eunice's base lover spoke first. Judging by the change in his voice, he must have seen something in my father's face that daunted him. Eunice heard it, too. "He's getting nervous," she whispered; "he'll forget to say the right thing at the right time."
"Mr. Gracedieu," Philip began, "I wish to speak to you——"
Father interrupted him: "We are alone now, Mr. Dunboyne. I want to know why you consult me in private?"
"I am anxious to consult you, sir, on a subject——"
"On what subject? Any religious difficulty?"
"Anything I can do for you in the town?"
"Not at all. If you will only allow me——"
"I am still waiting, sir, to know what it is about."
Philip's voice suddenly became an angry voice. "Once for all, Mr. Gracedieu," he said, "will you let me speak? It's about your daughter——"
"No more of it, Mr. Dunboyne!" (My father was now as loud as Philip.) "I don't desire to hold a private conversation with you on the subject of my daughter."
"If you have any personal objection to me, sir, be so good as to state it plainly."
"You have no right to ask me to do that."
"You refuse to do it?"
"You are not very civil, Mr. Gracedieu."
"If I speak without ceremony, Mr. Dunboyne, you have yourself to thank for it."
Philip replied to this in a tone of savage irony. "You are a minister of religion, and you are an old man. Two privileges—and you presume on them both. Good-morning."
I drew back into a corner, just in time to escape discovery in the character of a listener. Eunice never moved. When Philip dashed into the room, banging the door after him, she threw herself impulsively on his breast: "Oh, Philip! Philip! what have you done? Why didn't you keep your temper?"
"Did you hear what your father said to me?" he asked.
"Yes, dear; but you ought to have controlled yourself—you ought, indeed, for my sake."
Her arms were still round him. It struck me that he felt her influence. "If you wish me to recover myself," he said, gently, "you had better let me go."
"Oh, how cruel, Philip, to leave me when I am so wretched! Why do you want to go?"
"You told me just now what I ought to do," he answered, still restraining himself. "If I am to get the better of my temper, I must be left alone."
"I never said anything about your temper, darling."
"Didn't you tell me to control myself?"
"Oh, yes! Go back to Papa, and beg him to forgive you."
"I'll see him damned first!"
If ever a stupid girl deserved such an answer as this, the girl was my sister. I had hitherto (with some difficulty) refrained from interfering. But when Eunice tried to follow Philip out of the house, I could hesitate no longer; I held her back. "You fool," I said; "haven't you made mischief enough already?"
"What am I to do?" she burst out, helplessly.
"Do what I told you to do yesterday—wait."
Before she could reply, or I could say anything more, the door that led to the landing was opened softly and slyly, and Miss Jillgall peeped in. Eunice instantly left me, and ran to the meddling old maid. They whispered to each other. Miss Jillgall's skinny arm encircled my sister's waist; they disappeared together.
I was only too glad to get rid of them both, and to take the opportunity of writing to Philip. I insisted on an explanation of his conduct while I was in the study—to be given within an hour's time, at a place which I appointed. "You are not to attempt to justify yourself in writing," I added in conclusion. "Let your reply merely inform me if you can keep the appointment. The rest, when we meet."
Maria took the letter to the hotel, with instructions to wait.
Philip's reply reached me without delay. It pledged him to justify himself as I had desired, and to keep the appointment. My own belief is that the event of to-day will decide his future and mine.

Partly justified (or not...), 'World of Doom' the debut album of this trio met a mixed response from the scene, especially the french one which is often in 1st place to denigrate its own values for some more or less acceptable reasons...
Tell me what made you guys play this type of music, and what makes the constellation you are playing in special?
But, after intense labour during the last couple of years, SURTR are now back with 'Pulvis et Umbra' - again relased via Altsphere. Filled with uncompromising Classic Doom, this sophomore release is much more consistent and brings the band to another level of composition which logically should open them new doors towards a well deserved recognition.
Andreas asked those visceral doomsters several questions which they nicely answered very quickly and eloquently ; beyond the obvious interest he has for this band, Andreas simply concluded by these words : "Just write that these guys are great people, down to earth and extraordinarily talkative" !!! Thanx to all band members who took part in this one with frankness and passion...
Tell me what made you guys play this type of music, and what makes the constellation you are playing in special?
Régis: We felt in love with doom metal for many years now. We like to play slow and to hear the bass roaring as the doom is coming out. Doom metal is a genre you have to love in order to play it. We're really tired by people trying to play always faster than the other. That was okay in the 80's and the 90's when triggers weren't used and when people weren't scamming the fans.
For my part, playing Doom Metal is also going against the trend that makes me sick. And you know, when you are playing a show, you really get true doom and metal lovers. These people don't fake anything.
For my part, playing Doom Metal is also going against the trend that makes me sick. And you know, when you are playing a show, you really get true doom and metal lovers. These people don't fake anything.
How do you strive to put an original touch to Doom Metal?
Jul: I think that we distinguish ourselves in the fact that we don't restrain or put barriers between the different sub-genres of Doom metal or even Metal itself. We try to stay open-minded and put everything we like in our own music. Whatever the type of riffs and arrangement we create, it still ends to sound like SURTR, and that's what we're looking for. We are music freaks and all of us three have played in different bands over the years and developed our own style of playing, writing, and all of that helped creating our personality and our own touch. We are also fans of classic heavy metal, black metal, progressive music, and I'd like to think that it's something that you can hear when listening to the latest album.How do you explain that the genre has recently gained more popularity?
Régis: I don't know if it really gained popularity. We were for a few days at a show of Saint Vitus, and the venue wasn't decently full for a band like Vitus. I think that people who love doom metal today are just more active than in the past. The networks and the visibility brought by the Internet are more helping than the confidential tapes in the 80s, that's a fact. But it is also true that we see younger people in our shows now or in doom metal shows in general. I think that people are starting getting sick and tired of the mass market mainstream metal. They are looking for something more real, with true spirit and power. A lot of doomsters going out to the shows are also old school thrashers. They are just looking for true metal, played by real people who are not trying to scam them with triggered drums or voice effects. Like it is easy to say, it was better in the past, and doom metal is a genre coming from the past, how modern it can sound today.
Is there a vivid Metal scene in your region? French Metal in general is still deemed as exotic over here despite the success of a group like Gojira …
Jul: We have a lot of good bands in our region and in France. But as you said, it's just very difficult to go beyond frontiers. Medias give zero credit to metal here; it's definitely not the best to be for a metalhead. You're right when you speak about Gojira who's definitely a leader of the genre now, and it's totally deserved.
Who played the keyboard on some of the tracks?
Jul: It's a friend of us called Clément Osmont. He's a great guy and a talented musician and composer. We really think that he did a great job on our songs. We guided him as we were working on the demos to compose arrangements that would give more depth and epic feeling to the existing material we already had. He came up with his own ideas and influences and we worked together until we arrived to something rich, but not over-exaggerated or cheesy. I think it was a great collaboration and it's definitely something we'll try to renew on the next album.
How did you get the idea to write a song about Frederick John Westcott?
Régis: This was Jeff's idea. In fact, Fred Karno's Army was one of the first names who were suggested to name the band Black Sabbath. The second one was very much more suitable by the way. Fred Karno's Army was also a World War One Music title, describing the English infantry during the conflict, joined by men who cannot fight nor shoot, in fact, a very chaotic army. For me it describes the vision we have of the nowadays society, full on men who are chaotically running against this wall, without hope and without trying to change anything to change their own destiny.
Jeff: When I wrote these lyrics it was also a way to tribute Laurel and Hardy movies that I watched a lot in my childhood and Charlie Chaplin ones. Both of them influenced what followed in the 70s like The Monty Python or Les Charlots in France and other classic burlesque movies. Moreover I really enjoy the way Chaplin had (as watermarks or not) social and political themes. It's entertaining and at the same time it tells something about the life. It's a process that I'm always trying to do through my lyrics.
Your album title means "ashes and dust": what does this mean in connection with the artwork?
Régis: The songs are much more various on the album, in that way it was not possible to name it with a song's name. We discussed the question together and thought that a Latin title would match perfectly. Pulvis et Umbra comes from a Horace's quote, that means "We are but dust and shadows". And looking back, that's all what Doom Metal is about! Doom Metal has to breathe and smell the dust and has to show the shadows whose have contributed to his -and our- past. For the cover, it would have been too easy to represent a cross. And, trust me, the first idea was a lot similar to the last Down record! In a way, we hijacked the symbol of the cross, which is maybe the most popular symbol in the doom metal scene. Today, SURTR is our own cross, and we are the three nails that are supporting what we want to build together with this band. The booklet shows William Blake's arts (English painter and poetry written, 1757-1828). His style is totally atypical for his time. The paintings are fully representing the spirit of the songs on Pulvis et Umbra.
Is "Rebellion" about rioting in general, or does it refer to a concrete event?
Is "Rebellion" about rioting in general, or does it refer to a concrete event?
Jeff: Like in our first album World of Doom, it doesn't refer to an event. I hope anybody can find something in the lyrics that he can compare to a situation of his own dailylife. It's a reccurent theme in my lyrics since I wrote. I don't know. It's inside me. It's about not being a sheep of the modern society, about not accepting everything that your company tells you to do just because you need your salary to buy food or to pay your rent. For me rioting is not necessarily violent or against somebody or something in particular. It can be a daily opposition and protest. It's a positive thing that helps people feeling freer and to live without suffering from stuff they see as a straitjacket. I still have the utopia that everybody can enjoy their own life without being fatalist. There's still a flame burning in your heart. Our flame is Doom Metal and it helps us to learn about our life and to support it daily.
So where did you steal the vocal line from "The Call" from? I know it from somewhere else, for sure...
Jeff: We seriously have no idea. I guess it's like some guitar riffs in metal in general. Sometimes you said "Hey it's the three same power chords than in that song, isn't it?!" But theses vocals lines came just like that during rehearsal because it sounded pretty good and because it was the feeling which came naturally to this song through the rehearsals. We really work in an instinctive way for vocals. It usually only depends on the guitars riffs and the number of words in the sentences. That's it. But now we're fuckin' curious so let us know if you find something about that !
With "The Cross", you are toying with Death Metal aesthetics; where do your influences lie in this genre?
Jul: As I said before, we are music freaks first, and Death Metal is a genre we've listened to a lot, especially a few years ago. Speaking for myself, I think that Morbid Angel is a huge influence for many Doom bands, and it's definitely the first name that comes to my mind when I heard your question. Of course there are many bands that we could refer to, but these guys are « the link ».
Which war are you referring to in "Three Winters Of War"?
Régis: Three Winters of War refers to the beginning of Ragnarock and the Doom of the Gods when SURTR will finally get the last word by setting the world on fire with his sword. It comes just after Rise Again which is the first track of the record. So we could extrapolate that the rising of the giant announces that the end of the world has begun, and anticipated the grand final of Fred Karno's Army. The three winters can also refer to the number of winters that we spent together as a band. But at first, it was just mythological lyrics written to match the epic riffs brought by Jeff.
Tell me a bit about Altsphere and your ambitions with the label. What can you offer bands that they would never be able to handle themselves.
Jeff: I own this records label ten years ago and actually I can only say I don't offer anything that bands cannot handle themselves. You can do everything I do. In ten years you can build a network like I build in ten years and learn the same things that I've learnt during this period. No more, no less. Oh so, that's what I'm offering to bands actually: time. I chose to have only a part-time job to pay my bills and I work for Altsphere the other part. If I chose a full-time job, we wouldn't be, in terms of promotion, distribution… at the place where we are today. It's a lot of time to do daily promotion, to set-up delays between every people involved in the record, to plan the promo deliveries, the final stock deliveries in the different countries and so on. It's a personal choice of life: more time but less money from my daily job. But everybody can do and learn that. I was just patient, I took my time and I understood how everything works. If I can give pieces of advice: be patient, don't think promotion is just sending three mp3s to a webzine, to publish two songs on bandcamp or myspace or to send a cd-r to Nuclear Blast. Releasing a CD is the easiest thing for a label or a band. Giving it the promotion it deserves is a daily hard and sometimes boring work, and your free time or hobbies time cannot be enough to do the thing is the best way. I don't say the "right" way because I think there is several ways to run and it depends on people's personal ambition. But I seriously have no lesson to give. Do your thing, know it will be tough, be patient and learn from your own experience and mistakes.
What are your plans for the close and distant future? Where do you see Surtr in the grander scheme of things?
Jul: At this point, we plan to tour as much as possible to promote this record. The next step is to play at Hellfest Open Air France in June sharing the stage with Sleep, Witchcraft, Procession and more. After that we'll take a short break and study all touring opportunities we get.
I guess that we'll start working and jamming on new songs by the beginning of next year. We already have song ideas that we're sharing together and we're pretty excited to see what will come out this time. However the third album is an important step for every band, so we won't hurry ourselves, we are going to take our time to record songs that we'd be proud of.

West Wareham Walmart receives sewer permit
Selectmen, acting in their capacity as Sewer Commissioners, approved a sewer permit for the proposed Walmart in West Wareham at their Tuesday, Feb. 12, meeting.
This is one of the last hurdles the retail giant must get over before it breaks ground at the new location.
The A.D. Makepeace Company took issue with the proposed relocation, as it has invested $500,000 in sewer upgrades to accommodate expansion at its Rosebrook Business Park, located nearby on Route 28.
Water Pollution Control Facility Director Guy Campinha has maintained at earlier Selectmen meetings that the Springborn pumping station can handle the extra 10,000 gallons expected to flow from the store.
The board held off on approving the sewer permit until a deal could be worked out between the A.D. Makepeace Company and Walmart.
Selectmen Chair Steve Holmes reiterated the importance of the sewer capacity issue: "The 10,000 gallons is for Walmart, no sub-tenants."
Matt Smith of Bohler Engineering was representing Walmart, and said that while Walmart does lease space inside the building to other vendors, the pumping station would service just the one building.
Under the agreement, Walmart must place $100,000 into escrow account within 30 days of the sewer permit being issued, which will be released when the retailer provides the town with a certificate of occupancy.
In addition, Walmart will give the town $50,000 to be used for sewer-related inflow and infiltration studies.
Another $200,000 from Walmart will be put toward purchasing an ambulance or other safety equipment for the town.
If the sewer connection is not made within two years, Walmart may apply for a one-year extension, or go through the entire permitting process again.
The East Wareham Walmart will be shut down, as that store model is being phased out in favor of a larger "Supercenter" model, which will offer groceries, Walmart officials say.
The new, 160,000-square-foot store will be located at a 26-acre lot near the corner of Tobey Road and Route 28.
Walmart currently owns its East Wareham location, but cannot sell operate as a supermarket there, due to a restriction on the property because of its proximity to Stop & Shop.

I've mentioned this before, but the baseball cards that I grew up on were, above all others, the 1988 through 1991 sets – specifically, the '89 & '91 Topps and the '88 and '90 Donruss sets. Sure, there were plenty of Score and Fleer and Upper Deck in there, but those were the main ones I collected every year.
For those who collected cards around the same time – before the "insert" craze got out of hand – one of the most memorable subsets by any cardmaker was Donruss's annual set of Diamond Kings. Numbered 1 – 26 each year, the Diamond Kings featured one "star" player from each club, no matter how bad the club or how underwhelming the "star". The Baseball Card Blog has a pretty solid write-up on these Diamond Kings:
The Diamond King subset cards in 1982 Donruss were the first cards to feature out-and-out paintings since 1956 Topps. For nine years, 1982 to 1990, the subset featured the previous season's stars, one from each team, in goofy headshots on colored backgrounds, each year more outrageous than the last (culminating in the bizarre Alexander Calder-esque background explosions of 1990).
Read the rest of that post for some interesting observations on what happened to the set. Eventually, in 1992, it became an official "insert set" (or whatever collector's call those things), and were thus no longer a part of the standard cards put out each year. It was at this point that I stopped caring about the Diamond Kings (and most baseball cards, frankly).
But in those ten years, Donruss made some fun cards and some interesting choices. The art-work was always great to look at (the blatant Latin-ness of Fernando and Jose above notwithstanding), and few cards were as fun to come across that first time. But who all were the Diamond Kings? Using various resources on the internet – mostly card images found on eBay or Google and this list of Donruss complete sets found at the Baseball Almanac – I compiled a list of all 260 Diamond Kings between 1982 and 1991 (26 teams * 10 years).
I expected to find plenty of repeat winners – just how many stars did the 1980s Braves or Mariners have, anyway? – but there were actually very few. That tells me that Donruss must have made a deliberate effort to spread out the winners to as many players as possible. And while that may be nice for a few teams with more than one star that might otherwise have been dominated by their best player, it certainly made for a few interesting choices. Below are a few of the more surprising, odd or noteworthy Diamond Kings.
(Click "Read More" to continue reading.)
1982 Dodgers – Steve Garvey: The 1981 season was all about Fernando and Fernando-mania. He even won the Rookie of the Year and the Cy Young awards. How then did Garvey get the call as the Dodgers' initial Diamond King? Were they looking for the most recognizable faces of each franchise?
1988 Expos – Tim Raines: Rock Raines certainly deserved to be called the Expos' Diamond King for his fantastic '87 season, coming out of the collusion and everything. The big thing here is that this was the only year that Raines was ever recognized as such.
1986 Pirates & 1989 Angels – Johnny Ray: Of the 260 Diamond Kings between 1982 and 1991, only 28 players were repeat winners, which means that there were 232 different players named a Diamond King in that time. Somehow, one of those 28 repeat winners was one-time All-Star Johnny Ray. He was an All-Star in '88 and had a career-best 119 OPS+, but it's still hard to count him among the other repeat winners.
1986 Reds – Tony Perez: The Reds' aging star, and future Hall of Famer, played in fewer than 100 games for the fifth year in a row in 1985 (72 games), but was somehow named the Diamond King for the year. Perez would play in 77 games in 1986 and then call it quits.
1986 Phillies – Jerry Koosman: That 1985 season must've been a strange year, considering all the odd Diamond Kings in the 1986 set. The 42-year old Koosman pitched in 19 games in 1985 with an 80 OPS+. Mike Schmidt, meanwhile, hit 33 home runs for the 5th place Phils, but he didn't drive in 100 runs or make the All-Star team. Koosman did not play again after the 1985 season.
1991 A's – Bob Welch: Rickey Henderson was the A's 1983 Diamond King the year after he set the single-season stolen bases record. In 1990, he won his one and only MVP. Bob Welch, however, and his 27-6 W-L record came away with the '91 Diamond King.
1989 Phillies – Steve Bedrosian: Bedrock won the 1987 NL Cy Young Award as the Phillies' closer. The '88 Diamond King, however, went to Shane Rawley, whose 17-11 record and 4.39 ERA wasn't exactly top-of-the-line. They made up for it the next year, though, when Bedrosian was given the 1989 Diamond King despite a poor season. (For more on these "Diamond Kings by Default", see The Baseball Card Blog).
1991 Yankees – Dave Righetti: As I said before, the people at Donruss seemed to go out of their way to avoid duplicating Diamond Kings throughout the decade. Sure, a Cal Ripken or Tony Gwynn or Carlton Fisk might assert himself so strongly on a single club that he'd show up as a Diamond King for that club more than once in the decade, but, for the most part, they seemed to actively discourage that kind of double dipping. Which makes the Yankees list so odd. For the 10 years that we're looking at here, the Yankees had four duplicate winners: Dave Winfield, Don Mattingly, Willie Randolph, and Dave Righetti. Were they just pandering to the largest market? The same thing was true with the Tigers, who had three repeat winners in those ten years.
I could probably go on and on looking at this list, but I think I'll stop here. The Diamond Kings were a great part of my card-collecting childhood, and it's fascinating to me now to look back and try to decipher how Donruss awarded them. I'm sure I'm not the only person who remembers this set so fondly. For those of you like me, check out the complete list of Donruss Diamond Kings, by team (1982-1991) and tell me who surprises you the most.
**EDIT: Thanks to Big League Stew who tweeted this wonderful link – every Diamond King ever, by Dick Perez, the artist behind the cards. It's a fantastic look at the artwork of all of these cards, and a great place to see that, yes, Keith Moreland was the Cubs' Diamond King in 1987.
